The Martindale Family members born in Yapham but emigrated to Australia

In a previous blog I talked about Thomas MARTINDALE of Yapham, Yorkshire, who became a Primitive Methodist Minister, who worked first in Doncaster, then in Grimsby, then in Scarborough and then in Scotter, before moving to Bournemouth where he died in Christchurch. He had married a Louisa Dixon of Scarborough-his second marriage, his first wife having died. Together they had Thomas Edwyn Justin MARTINDALE who became my mother's guardian after her parents died in 1927. When Thomas MARTINDALE died Louisa MARTINDALE married John Harry DOUGHTY, and they had between them my grandfather, Stanley DOUGHTY.

This MARTINDALE family were born in the village of Yapham, which as I explained before is not far from Pocklington and Stamford Bridge. I am going to add some of the family details from the other story first before moving in more detail about his siblings.

 This is a photograph of St Martin's at Yapham cum Meltonby & interior below.

I have visited the church & village several times since learning the MARTINDALE family were born here-the photographs were taken in August 2012. It would appear that the church once had a tower on it, or maybe a spire, but the various histories I have looked at don't mention it apart from it being rebuilt 1777-8. 

Just a bit more information about the parents of this MARTINDALE family.George and his wife Hannah were married at St Edith's, Bishop Wilton. It was  lovely day when I visited there on 11 August 2012.

 Hannah's birthplace was the hamlet of Gowthorpe:- in 1841, she was working as a farm servant at Top Garrowby Farm. In  Garrowby Hall lived  the local landowner, so Top Garrowby Farm was a part of that estate. 

George Martindale & Hannah Gowthorpe were married at St Edith's, Bishop Wilton on 11 May 1846.

Banns of Marriage: I publish the banns of marriage between George Martindale of this parish and Hannah Gowthorpe, of Bolton, on 19^th April, 26 April & 3^rd May 1846. (Source Parish Records of Yapham Banns of Marriage (Number MF 1763 at Borthwick Institute, York)

Bolton is another hamlet between Yapham & Fangfoss. So by 1846, Hannah was working & living there before her marriage to George. Her future husband, George, was a widower-his first wife Elizabeth Maynard, he buried in St Martin's graveyard 27 April, 1844. George lived in the village of Yapham in a rented house, where he had his tailor's workshop. He also had access to a small croft-a field where he could grow crops. I did some research at the Borthwick Institute in York, where I obtained some photographs of the Tithe Map of 1845. Using this map & the information accompanying it I was able to find his home as it is now in Yapham.

His house in the cream painted house, to the left of the first white washed house. The house to the left of the cream washed house and the house buildings to the left of that house lie it once was the croft of George Martindale,which in 1845, according to the Tithe Award consisted of grass. So at the time of his marriage to Hannah, George was an established tailor, one of the craftsmen in the village. Other craftsmen at the time in Yapham was a blacksmith, wheelwright & shoemaker. So the people of Yapham had someone who could shoe their horses & make & mend metal machinery, someone who could make & repair their carts & wooden machinery, someone who could make & mend their shoes & boots & someone to make and mend their clothes.

This was the family in the 1851 Census: showing that by then 5 years after their marriage, George & Hannah had 2 children, both sons, Thomas born 1847 & William born 1849. So the family lived in the above house and every child that was was born was christened in the nearby St. Martin's Church..  1851 census-

So by 1861, the home in Yapham was quite busy with 6 children aged between 14 & 3, but an event was going to happen just before census day in 1861 that must have had a dire effect on Thomas as the eldest of the family, but of all the others too. I discovered this as I was walking around the graveyard of St Martin's, Yapham on that day of August, 2012. Whilst taking a photograph of the church, there by the door of the church were two gravestones.

The stones read: In Loving Memory of GEORGE MARTINDALE of Yapham, who died February 11^th 1858 aged 74 years.

Also of GEORGE MARTINDALE son of the above who died May 17^th 1874 aged 54 years.

“The memory of the just is blessed”

In affectionate Remembrance of HANNAH, the beloved wife of GEORGE MARTINDALE who departed this life April 4^th 1861 aged 34 years.

Also of Mary Ellen daughter of the above who departed this life January 20^th 1856 aged 10 months.

Yes, on 4 April, 1861, age 34, Hannah Martindale died, and was buried beneath this stone by a grieving George, no doubt with his young family around him. She was buried in the same grave as that of their daughter  Mary Ellen. Judging by the date of her death, and that of the birth of their second  Mary Ellen Martindale, their 7th child, who was baptised on 17 March 1861, Hannah may have died due to complications following child birth.

Note George is now shown as a farmer & tailor. 

The census date of 1861 was 7 April 1861, so one can only imagine the sorrow that George must have felt on that day as he completed his census form.

George Martindale,  41, widower, tailor employing 2 boys

Thomas Martindale, 14, tailor's son

William Martindale, 12, tailor's son

John Henry Martindale,  6, tailor's son

Robert Martindale,  2 tailor's son

Missing from the family group on census day was George Gowthorpe & Mary Ellen Martindale  but staying with the family, no doubt after the funeral of Hannah was George's mother Mary Martindale (mis-transcribed by the census recorder as mother-in-law, when she is his mother)

George Gowthorpe Martindale  on census day was staying with his grandparents, Thomas Gowthorpe & his wife Susannah whilst Mary Ellen, aged 1 month, is with a family called Simpson in Yapham. Maybe Mrs Simpson is acting as a wet nurse because Hannah Martindale,  Mary's mother has just died, I don't think she is any relation at all, just friends pulling together in times of need.



In the last blog about Thomas Martindale I failed to mention that he died of Tubercolosis. In fact it appears that many of the family suffered with poor health from time to time and were advised as they were often advised in those days to travel to a warmer drier climate. Hence Thomas moved further south to Bournemouth and southern Hampshire, and the two other boys, William & Robert did the same thing.  During my research into the Martindale family that emigrated to Australia I made contact with a Jon Martindale who sent me a history of his family. His father, Harold George MARTINDALE had carried out a great deal of family research.
At the start of the story of his family he wrote about his grandfather William MARTINDALE he writes" William MARTINDALE had been given medical advice that he needed a warmer climate than that which Yorkshire afforded and he learned that the colony of South Australia was giving assistance to migrants from England to come to its shores. It would appear that he, with his wife Esther, left Ilkley on June 23rd 1877 and went over to the East Riding to see his relatives before sailing"
It was in fact both Robert & William MARTINDALE who emigrated to South Australia on board the 3 masted sailing ship "Forfarshire". 

So let's see what these brothers had been doing prior to their decision to leave England and start a new life in South Australia.
There were 11 years between William & Robert, but both became joiners it seems. I know that William when he was aged 13 went to Nafferton Parish Church to witness formerly the 3rd marriage of his father George Martindale to Mary Wray. His father's first & second wife died so George with a growing family needed a woman in his life. This would be on the 23rd July 1862, and together they would have travelled at least 20 miles to get to the church. So how George met Mary is a mystery. Anyway William went to the church and witnessed the marriage according to the marriage record I saw at East Yorkshire Archives at the "Treasure House", Beverley, Yorkshire. During the next 9 years, William must have been apprenticed to the local wheelwright where he learned joinery, because in the census of 1871 he was living in Durham Street, Middlesbrough, Yorkshire and employed as a joiner there.The street was close to the river Tees, so maybe he was working on she shipyards there. On 17th May 1874 George their father died in Yapham and was buried in the churchyard  in the same grave as his father and next to his second wife Hannah and their daughter Mary Ellen. Probate of his estate was granted to his widow, Mary MARTINDALE nee WRAY: PROBATE: George MARTINDALE 1820-1874

MARTINDALE George: Effects Under £450: 17^th July 1874, Administration of the effects of George MARTINDALE. Late of Yapham in the County of York Tailor & Farmer who died 17 May 1874 at Yapham was granted at YORK to Mary MARTINDALE of Yapham, Widow of the Relict.
£450 in 1874 is now worth £43,000-http://inflation.stephenmorley.org/  taking into effect inflation. If we had the full probate record maybe we could see how much money George left to his family. Maybe this was another factor effecting the decisions made first to get married, and later to emigrate to South Australia. 
 Sometime after that and before 8 July 1875 William met and became engaged to be married to Esther WARD of Helperthorpe, daughter of Joseph Ward and his wife Elizabeth. According to H G Martindale Esther probably met William in Leeds where she was working as a servant and him as a joiner. They married at Helperthorpe Parish Church and then went to live in Darlington and then Ilkley where a decision was taken to emigrate to South Australia.Another event in the family that might have influenced William & Robert's decision to emigrate to a warmer and drier climate was the death of their elder brother Thomas on 22 January 1877 in Bournemouth, Hampshire, some 250 miles to the south of Yapham.

I found this advertisement in a Sheffield Newspaper about emigrating to South Australia.

It's believed that William and Esther then travelled to Yapham and persuaded Robert to emigrate to Australia as well. So with George their father dead, and brother Thomas also, Robert & William said goodbye to their step mother Mary MARTINDALE and siblings John Henry, Mary Ellen & George Gowthorpe and set off for Plymouth, where they boarded the "Forfarshire"

Maritime EXTRACTS

"Forfarshire at Plymouth for Adelaide, 3rd inst."

Somewhere off the coast of the Cape of Good Hope the Forfarshire met such a fearful storm that Captain Brown (he was the captain in 1876 and still in 1885) called the passengers together and told them to don their best and warmest clothing and assist with their prayers as they might be going on a trip to "Davy Jones Locker". Fortunately the ship rode out the storm and arrived at Port Adelaide on September 22nd 1877.

On 22nd September 1877, this was the manifest of passengers on board the "FORFARSHIRE" that landed at Port Adelaide, South Australia as published in the South Australia Register on 25 September 1877.

ARRIVAL OF THE FORFARSHIRE.

It is pretty evident the Commissioners showed great judgment when the Forfarshire was

selected to carry emigrants, for a finer vessel could scarcely be desired. She is a ship of 1,238 tons; with fine beam and good height between decks.

ARRIVAL OF THE FORFARSHIRE

WITH IMMIGRANTS.

The Forfarshire is a Sunderland-built wooden ship, which has before brought immigrants, and now returns with another lot under the surgical care of Dr. Singleton, who has succeeded in bringing them here very satisfactorily. There are 79 single women on board, under the charge of Mrs. Jane Scotcher, the Matron, and the whole have arrived in excellent health. During the passage there occurred • eight deaths and four births, but no sickness of any importance happened beyond one of whooping cough, the patient being convalescent before crossing the Line.

Both had occupation as Carpenter. Looking at the list I wonder if the people sending these people to South Australia deliberately chose a good selection of trades rather than all of the same. "From Dad's Diary" Esther was able to enter her little book, "Words in Season for Young Disciples" for September 28th, "My First home in the Colony, Nailsworth" William obtained work as a joiner and fitter and by March 1878 they were living in Prospect, apparently in Church Street, where there was a cottage of cottages significantly called "GOWTHORPE". By 1880 they were in Goodwood, where there first son William was born. Later they moved to Ti-tree Gully where their second son, Joseph George was born on February 1st 1882. I don't know what Robert Martindale did after he and his brother landed in Adelaide-I know he did get married in Adelaide on 22 August 1882 to a Marguerite Love HARVEY who was the daughter of James HARVEY & Margaret O'Calloghan at Trinity Church, Adelaide. I found this marriage in the "South Australian Advertiser" 30 August 1882. The announcement read "  HARVEY.— On the 22nd August, at Trinity Church, Adelaide, by the Rev. R. Reed, Robert Martindale. to Marguerite Love Harvey, both of Adelaide. The resource http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper?q=  I found so very useful in this research. Trove National Library of Australia Their first child together was George Gowthorpe MARTINDALE who was born at Gilberton in February 1884 but died on 1 May the same year. The Martindale's announced their son's death in the local newspaper. DEATHS MARTINDALE.—On the 1st May, at Gilberton,     George Gowthorpe, infant son of Robert and Marguerite Love Martindale, aged 10 weeks. Gilberton is a suburb of Adelaide, South Australia on the northern bank of the River Torrens a short distance from Adelaide centre. So I now know where Robert & his wife were living in 1884-Gilberton.  By that year, William, his elder brother and his wife Esther had moved to Victoria to a plot of land 7 miles out of Dimboola. William had changed his career path, from a joiner to a farmer. I found these articles in the local newspaper. The Horsham Times (Vic. : 1882 - 1954) 15 May 1883 Nhill Local Land Board. A Local Land Board was held at Nhill on Friday last before the Land Officer for the purpose of hearing the following applications:-  Balcootan I Joshua J. Stafford, 320a, forfeited selection of J. Logan; postponed. 2.Thomas F. Blackburn, 100w; postponed. 4 James E. Wright 60a ; recommended. Dahwadeera 5 Benjamin Arthur, 320a recommended 6-William Lawlor, 320a; postponed. Dinyarrak. .     7 James'P. J. Jellett. 80a ; recommended. 8 William J. Miles, 108a; abandoned. 9 Anthony Murphy; 100a, forfeited selection of J. B. Young; recommended. Gerang Gerong   10 Willliam Finck, 320a; recommended. 1Robert Gray, 270a ; recommended. .   12 Thomas Gooding. 320a; recommended. 13 William Martindale, 320a; recommended. 14 William H. Roberts, 150a; recommended. 15 William Semple. '150a; recommended.   Then this story in "Dad's family History" "In the course of his trade William had become closely associated with a man called Thomas Gooding, a stone mason, and they heard of land in the Wimmera district of Victoria being opened up for selection. They were attracted and in the end tossed a coin to see they would try their hand at farming. Apparently the coin toss came up "Heads for Victoria", and so they became selectors, acquiring farms close together. The article above confirms this each having 320 acres.They travelled over land circa 1883, in a tilted cart and other vehicles with household goods etc. Joseph, or Joe, as he was called all his life was few months old. They called their farm Sledmere after the house and estate of that name in Yorkshire close to where Esther's family had lived and where her father had worked as a coachman. The holding was close to the Wimmera River at Lochiel, 7 miles out of Dimboola, reached by the Nihil &river road"  Although census was taken in Australia, the records haven't been kept, or at least if they were they are not published, so that's a resource I can't use to research the Martindale Family So that's why I have had to resort to newspaper announcements and articles from the Trove resource. So an articles in the  Horsham Times, a newspaper published in Victoria, point to the fact that an R.Martindale with a joinery business was living in Dimboola, Victoria in 1899.  The Horsham Times (Vic. : 1882 - 1954)Tuesday 7 February 1899 -Mr. R. Martindale, contractor, is making good progress with the erection of the pavilion at the Dinmboola racecourse. The redgum timber that is being used is being brought from Echuca. Mr. R. Martindale is the successful tenderer for the erection of the magistrate's room at the Dimboola Court House. The Horsham Times Friday 19 May 1899.
