Richard LANE
(1833 - 1894)

He was baptised in Stillington, North Yorks and the IGI has the surname transcribed as LAINGE and also LANG. He was the third son of William and Ann/e LANE (nee THOMPSON).

In 1841 we find him with his parents and two younger brothers in Stillington, North Yorks.

By 1851 he has left home and is working as an agricultural labourer, servant to Farmer SMITH in Marton In The Forest, North Yorks.

He married Hannah GAINES (sometimes GAINS or GANES) in 1857 at Acomb, York.

Strangely in 1861 he is listed as married but is living alone in Stillington but is still an agricultural labourer. His two infant off spring at that time are visitors at an address in York and his wife is a visitor at an address in Whitkirk, near Leeds.

In 1871 the family are all together in Helperby Brafferton, this time there are six off spring listed, a lodger who appears to be Richard's father and two farm servants. His occupation isn't very clear but he appears to be some sort of shepherd.

Some time after the birth of his youngest child in 1874 and before the 1881 census, the whole family moved across the Pennines and settled in Earlestown, Newton-In-Makerfield, Lancashire.

The 1881 census sees Richard's occupation change to labourer at an iron foundry, his wife is present with seven off spring. A grandchild is also present named as "Thanne" LANE, a female.

The 1891 census is the last time we see Richard, he is living in the same street and his occupation has changed to spring-maker, which sadly will be the cause of his accidental death. He received injuries whilst assisting to lift a large waggon spring on 14th February 1894, an inquest was held on 23rd February 1894, three days after his death at home.
I have finally found his burial details on the following website:
His surname was incorrectly transcribed as SARRE (now corrected to LANE) and it also helped me locate Hannah and her new married name.

Hannah LANE (nee GAINES / GAINS)
(1835 - unknown)

She was baptised in Marton Cum Moxby (aka Marton In The Forest); the daughter of Thomas and Christiana GAINES / GAINS (nee MILLER).

She was living with her parents and a younger brother in Marton by 1841; I am unaware of her elder siblings at this time.

By 1851 she has left home and is a house servant to a farmer in Thornton On the Hill With Baxby.

She is visiting a neice in 1861 in Whitkirk near Leeds, how I wish I knew what the reasons were.
1871 - 1891 she is with her husband as described above.

The 1895 Slater's Directory has her listed as a householder in Lawrence Street, Earlestown.

The 1901 census reveals that she is still at the same address, the head of the household and has her daughter SIMMand family living in, a servant who may be her grand-daughter JONES and three boarders. The mind boggles how they all managed to fit into that one terraced house.

She married Joshua EARLAM in 1904 at Chorlton, Manchester.
She died in Newton in 1911. I have yet to send for these certificates.
