| Richard Baxendale (1848-) |
Richard Baxendale was born c 1848 in
Fleetwood, Lancashire1. In
1868 Richard married Mary Braidwood, the eldest daughter of John Braidwood
and Mary McKinsey (nee Hesketh), in Liverpool2.
Their first son, John Baxendale, was born the following year.
My first tracing of Richard Baxendale, so far, is the
1871 census, when he was already married to Mary Braidwood, working as a
butcher and living at 29 Currie Street, Liverpool with Mary and their sons
John B Baxendale aged 2, and Henry Baxendale aged 4 months.
Also in the 1871 census is Richard Baxendale age 70 or 78 and his
wife Nanny, living at 3 Back Wilbraham Street in the Scotland Road area of
Liverpool. This Richard Baxendale is described as father-in-law, born in
Leyland, and is living with John and Mary Bullen and their children3.
I wonder if this Richard Baxendale is related?
In 1881 however, Richard and Mary Baxendale are living at 6
Wilbraham Street, Liverpool with their children John, Henry, Mary, Annie,
William and Thomas B Baxendale. Richard, now 33, is a warehouseman, born
Fleetwood3. I do not know
at which warehouse Richard worked, but Wilbraham Street is not far from
Scotland Road and the Everton district of Liverpool, so was not far from
the leather and hide works of Thomas Carter Salthouse.
Ten years later, in the 1891 census, Richard and Mary
Baxendale are still living at 6 Wilbraham Street. Richard's occupation in
unclear but begins with "clerk to the....". All the children are
still unmarried and living at home; the eldest boys, John B and Henry
Baxendale are both employed as clerks at Marine Insurance and the youngest
boy of working age, William, is clerk [to] general brokers. By
1891 Richard Baxendale and his sons were all employed as bookkeepers in
Liverpool. Richard and Mary, together with their unmarried children Mary,
Annie, William and Thomas B Baxendale, were living at 173 Walton Lane,
Liverpool. It seems that the family were still living there within a few
years of 1910 as Janet Salthouse wrote (but did not post) a postcard to
them at that address. |
