She had 4 sons, Charles Henry (1872-1945), George William (1876-1895), Alfred (1877-1961), John Scott (1882-1961). This photograph was most likely taken in 1872 at the time of her marriage. |
John Rennard born in 1850 in Millington to George, an agricultural labourer and Jane (nee Mason). George was born in Bishop Wilton and Jane in Hayton. They lived at Grimthorpe Wood Cottages and in the 1861 census, John aged 11, was a scholar. In the 1871 Census John was a farm servant at Dalton Gates Farm, Warter, aged 20, where the head of the house was a Richard Dossey and Margaret his wife. On 22 Jan 1873 aged 22 he married Ann Towse aged 18. Ann was the daughter of David and Elizabeth Towse who kept the Cross Keys Inn, Thixendale. John is by now a farming foreman. In the 1881 he and Ann were living at Hinds House, Raisthorpe with Burdale. His occupation is listed as an agricultural labourer. They already had 5 children and Ann's sister aged 14 was their farm servant and they also had 8 indoor servants. (I haven't figured out how this arrangement worked yet!) In the 1891 census, aged 42 John was a farm foreman, living at Burdale Southwold (part of Wold House Farm). They now had eight children including my grandmother, Rose, aged four and two servants. In 1901 they moved to Airey Hill, Hunmanby and John's occupation is Agricultural Horse at Hind Farm. They lived as a large extended family, aged 16. Rose is now 14. In 1911 John is now Hind Farm foreman living with Ann, a daughter, son, and grandchild. Ann died on 17 Jul 1920 and John in Sep 1931 in the district of Bridlington aged 81. Info from John Finch. |

Chris Hall wrote "I think that the last but 3 photo under 1900-1910 (ABOVE) is my great grandmother Ethel Dunning nee Fielder born 1882 in Pocklington. Attached is the only photograph of her because she died in 1905, a year after my grandmother, Margaret Fussey was born. There was a close association between the Tayleure family and the Fielder family. In 1881 Michael Tayleure’s son Arthur lived next door to John Elliot Fielder and family. Arthur’s son William went on to marry John and Annie Fielder’s youngest daughter Emily. Around 1891 Arthur became the publican of the Black Bull and then after his death in 1907, his wife Susanna (nee Rooks) took over as the landlady." - This photgraph was taken by the Pocklington photographer Frank Slights who operated in the early c20. |
