Note on Husband: Jonathan BEARDSHAW (1)

Jonathan Beardshaw features in a book in which it is claimed he fathered 29 children!

 

Born 1780 died 1851. Continued the Hollis Croft works and also took the Ball Inn, Hawley Croft. Both he and his brother John were licensed victuallers.

Set up his eldest son George in the saw trade at age of 21and entered partnership with him in 1819. [this would indicate George must have been born in or born before 1798 but of course it could be wrong]

 

Source - Sheffield Telegraph - 8 June 1950 (quality ?)

 

The text states that Jonathan was also landlord of the 'Ball Inn' as well as running 'Hollis Croft Cutlery works'

 

States that only the 1st and 28th child lived.27,28

Note on Husband: Jonathan BEARDSHAW (2)

The following entry appears in the 'Deaths' section of the 'Sheffield Independent' newspaper Saturday 22 March 1851

 

"Beardshaw.- On Sunday last, in his 72nd year, highly esteemed by a large circle of friends, Mr Jonathan Beardshaw of the firm J. Beardshaw & Sons, saw manufacturer, Garden Street."

 

Date of death is therefore 16-3-185129

Note on Husband: Jonathan BEARDSHAW (3) - shared note

Sheffield Mercury 10 August 1822

 

Entry in Sheffield Mercury 10 August 1822. Although the name is not mentioned other evidence indicates the following entry relates to JONATHAN BEARDSHAW of the Ball Inn - Hawley Croft (See Reminisenses of Sheffield

 

"Yesterday afternoon, a respectable couple, inhabitants of this town, presented their EIGTH AND TWENTIETH CHILD at the batismal font of the Parish Church. They have been married about 20 years, and the mother has been delivered of a child every

succeding ten months. A very respectable surgeon in this town can bear testimony to this fact, having himself attended her at every birth except one, and on this occasion he happened to be away from home. There have been no twins, and the eldest and youngest are the only children now living."

 

So George was born around 1802/3 and Jonathan in 1822
