Investigating a pair of Inkstands given to Stan & Nellie DOUGHTY by the Charlton family.

 Silver Ink Stand

Hallmark on the stand 

This a pair of inkstands that were given to Stanley & Nellie DOUGHTY when they got married on 6th August 1906 at Flottergate Methodist Church in Grimsby.

PRETTY WEDDING AT FLOTTERGATE
The Telegraph August 6, 1906

The wedding of William Herman Stanley Doughty, Belgrave Terrace, eldest son of the late Mr John Henry Doughty, and Miss Nellie Bowers Robinson, only daughter of  Mr J.H. Robinson, timber merchant, of Bowers House Dudley Street, attracted a great deal of interest this afternoon.

The following were among those who accepted invitations:-Mr and Mrs R H Charlton, (Mrs Anne Charlton, was cousin of Stanley, and daughter of George  Charles Doughty, Stanley's uncle, elder brother of Stan's father John Harry DOUGHTY.

 A list of wedding presents was published in the Grimsby Telegraph on the same day.
Mr and Mrs R. H. Charlton, silver ink stand.
The hallmarks show the inkstand was made in Birmingham by W. Aitken.  The date marks show that the stand was made at the end of 1902 and the ink pots at the beginning of 1903.  Unfortunately, the two conical "bits" that held the pens are missing.

So in this blog I am going to see what I can discover about the CHARLTON Family and the connection between them and Stanley DOUGHTY.
In a previous blog I have looked at Stanley DOUGHTY & and his family. Stanley's father was John Henry DOUGHTY born 30 June 1857 at 8, Robinson Street, East in Grimsby, Lincolnshire. His elder brother George Charles DOUGHTY was born at the same address on 13th March 1854, both were the sons of William DOUGHTY & his wife Elizabeth HAITH. Below is a photograph of their home address:

George was born at 8, Robinson Street, Grimsby. He went to school at the Wesleyan Day School in George Street, Grimsby. Certainly in May 1862 he was transferred from the Infants to the Upper School. This school was still in existence in 1908, when it was visited by Bob Lincoln author of "Sir George Doughty" Then the Headteacher was an E.J. Wright. At the age of 13, George left school and worked for a Mark Shepherd (Fudge) who had a furniture shop at the front and a workshop at the rear. This was on the corner of Wellington Street and Freeman Street, now known as the Wellington Arms, a pub. He left this after a short time and was apprenticed to Johnny Brown a builder of Victoria Street, by his father William. During his apprenticeship he joined a debating society, which was held in the Baptist School Room in Burgess Street. He considered joining the Primitive Ministry, but his father could not afford the fees. Out of his apprenticeship he joined up with a George Woodhead, forming Woodhead & Doughty. They had premises near the footbridge in the Central Market which in 1912 was owned by Beels & Axe. He fell in love with Rebecca Vere. She was the niece of John Vere, whose firm was Smith, Stephenson & Vere engineers. Rebecca Vere worked as a grocery assistant in a store run by Henry Smethurst Senior (later an Alderman). This shop was on Victoria Street, near to Lock Hill, next to Kirk's the butchers (now Wolfe's in 1912)

 He married Rebecca on April 10th 1879 at Victoria St Primitive Methodist Chapel. Rev Robert Harrison presided, and the marriage was witnessed by Henry Smethurst Senior, and Annie Doughty (his sister). Rebecca was 31 years of age at the time of her marriage and on the marriage certificate her father is shown as Thomas Warrs Vere, an engineer. George Doughty was then described as a builder living at Willingham Terrace, Weelsby, Clee. William Abbott was his best man, who was later clerk for Wades a timber merchants at Hull. George's partnership with George Woodhead was dissolved and George went to live at 7, Maude Street, living in a house occupied in 1912 by the Wellow Brewery Company as a bottling store. He lived in the house and used the workshops at the rear for his business. Two children were born in this house, Wilfred Vere Doughty on 1 March, 1880 and Annie Vere Doughty on 14 January 1883. The 1881 census records the family as thus:
1881 England Census for George C Doughty & family
Lincolnshire Great Grimsby District 2
Entry No. 43, Number 7, Maude Street:
G. DOUGHTY, Head, Married, 27, Builder, employing 14 men & 3 boys, Born Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
R. DOUGHTY, wife, Married, 33, Born, Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
W. V. DOUGHTY, son, 1, Born Grimsby, Lincolnshire
M A SMITH, Servant, Unmarried, 20, General Servant, born Louth, Lincolnshire

I couldn't find the Doughty family in the 1891 census, but now having searched for the address using the districts I have found them. They were in the Census listed like this:

George Donglly 37

Rebeca Donglly 43

William V Donglly 11

Ann V Donglly

No 44: "Woods Furze", Abbey Road,
George DOUGHTY, Head, Married, 37, Builder, born Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
Rebecca DOUGHTY, Wife, Married, 40, born Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
William V. DOUGHTY, son, 11, Scholar, born Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
Annie V. DOUGHTY, daughter, Scholar, born Grimsby, Lincolnshire., with 4 servants.

Above is a picture of Woods Furze, taken in the 1990's when the building was an office.So George sold "Gordon House" in Dudley Street, Grimsby, where he and the family had been living and moved to Abbey Road, Grimsby-he had built both of these houses. As his wealth improved, George and his family moved from "Woods Furze" to Waltham Hall in Waltham village around 1893. Information for this lies in some Newspaper Accounts about a garden party held in the grounds of George's house.
Waltham Hall
Stamford Mercury - Friday 25 August 1893
GRlMSBY.—Hospital Garden Party at Waltham Hall.—ln beautiful weather, on Saturday afternoon, a garden-party was held at Waltham Hall, the newly acquired residence of the Mayor (Alderman Doughty), who had kindly granted the use of his grounds for the purpose. The party had been organised by the Working Men's Hospital Committee, in aid of the Princess May Children's ward at the hospital, and numerous amusements were provided. Tasker's quadrille band performed some excellent music, and in the evening the grounds were prettily illuminated. £61 was obtained for the hospital.
So by that date in 1893, her father George was Mayor of Grimsby-there is painting of him in the Council Chamber in Grimsby Town Hall.

So Ann Vere Doughty, now aged 11,  had been used to living quite a good life, living in large detached houses, with servants, and being recognised in Grimsby wherever she went. The Doughty family with their father George & mother Rebecca Vere as Mayor & Mayoress  is mentioned in numerous newspaper articles. For example on Friday 2nd February, 1893, her parents had put on an event in the Town Hall of Grimsby called "A Children's Carnival". described in the Hull Daily Mail on 6 February 1893. Basically it was a Fancy Dress Ball for the young people of Grimsby when almost 300 children attended this party. Ann Vere went as well with her brother Wilfred, as well as other members of her Doughty family, all dressed in costumes.
Master Wilfrid Vere Doughty (son of the Mayor) led off with Miss Gladys Allen and Miss Anne Vere Doughty (daughter) with Master W. Wintringham Smethurst. It would be impossible for me to pick out all the little girls who smiled charming, and all the little boys who looked debonair, and so I have culled few from what shall I call it?—a Flower Garden. Miss H. Errington-Josse, "Pierrette;" Miss Doughty, " Duchess of Devonshire ;" Master Doughty, " Bunthorne; " Master G. H. and Miss Lily Doughty, " Jack and Jill;" Miss Gertie Doughty, "Red Riding Hood;" Master Frank Doughty, "Boy Blue;"

So one of Ann Vere Doughty's public engagements is when she launched a steam trawler built by her father's company-she would have been 16 at the time.

The Leeds Mercury (Leeds, England), Friday, September 14, 1899
A Grimsby Company’s First Launch: Miss Ann Vere DOUGHTY launches a trawler.
The first steam trawler built by Messrs Hagerup, Doughty and Schofield, of Grimsby, was launched by Miss Vere Doughty, daughter of Ald. G. Doughty, MP, on Saturday morning. This vessel, built for the Monarch Steam Fishing Company has dimensions-length 104 feet, by 21ft beam. The engines will be 50 horse power.A further article in the Aberdeen Press and Journal - Monday 16 January 1899
Alderman G. Doughty, M.P., Miss V. Doughty Miss Lees, Miss Hewson, Mr and Mrs J. Schofield, Miss Schofield, and 'Mr F. Hagerup were present at the ceremony. Miss V. Doughty broke a bottle of champagne on the vessel's bow, and wished the ship success. Then, amidst the cheers of the onlookers, the King Arthur gracefully glided into the water. 

So 2 years later in the Census of 1901 this was the entry:

Ann Vere Doughty

Elizabeth FOWLER, Servant, Single, 15, Kitchen Maid, born Waltham, Lincs.

Meanwhile, the other side of this story is the Charlton Family of Grimsby who gave the inkstands to Stan & Nellie DOUGHTY.
Thomas Charlton was the first of the Charlton family to arrive in Grimsby.  The Charlton Family originally came from the village of Wideopen, Northumberland which is a village near Gosforth about 6 miles north of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. In Grimsby, at the time of George & his daughter Ann Vere DOUGHTY, they had a ship-building & engineering company in Church Street, Grimsby. It was Thomas Charlton, born 1827 in Wideopen, who first came to Grimsby in 1850. This obituary in the Hull Daily Mail from British Newspaper Archive, for Thomas Charlton gives a good picture of this family’s reason for coming to Grimsby.
Born at Wideopen, a Northumberland village, in 1827. he served his apprenticeship with Messrs G. and B. Stephenson, engineers, Newcastle, and subsequently took up a position with the famous Elswick firm, and was sent to Grimsby in 1850 by Lord Armstrong to supervise the erection of the famous hydraulic tower, and afterwards, on his own account, established the famous foundry, Church-street. Here he designed and built the first steam trawler ever launched (the s.s. Cecily), and which led to the entire revolutionising of the fishing industry. He also built the Fruiterer, the first coasting steamer ever built, in Grimsby.   Sir William Armstrong
This article describes the design & construction & of the Grimsby Dock Tower  - http://www.engineering-timelines.com/scripts/engineeringItem.asp?id=79

The dockside equipment was operated by a hydraulic power system designed by William George Armstrong (1810-1900, knighted 1859), who had developed various hydraulic and hydro-electric machines in the 1840s.
Armstrong’s system required a large head of water to provide sufficient pressure, and to create this, he pumped water into an elevated tank housed in a very tall tower. Believed to be unique, the comparatively low-pressure hydraulic system at Grimsby was one of his earliest applications of water power. In other systems, he used hydraulic accumulators where water is stored under high pressure, requiring less powerful pumps and shorter towers.The wrought iron water storage tank in the tower was 65.2m above ground level, housed inside the upper square tower. It held 136,400 litres of water, sourced from a well, 4.6m in diameter and 14.3m deep, located near the present Cleethorpe Road flyover. This well was supplied by a 127mm diameter borehole into the chalk bedrock and a by brick culvert discharging water from seven other bores sunk at intervals over a distance of 91m.
A 330mm diameter 61m long cast iron pipe conveyed the water from the well to the tower, where two 254mm diameter pumps — worked by an 18.6kW horizontal engine (or possibly a pair of engines) — pumped it into the tank. Water issued from the tank at a pressure of 689.5kN per sq m. The level was topped up by smaller pumps as water was used.
In addition to powering the lock gates, sluices and 15 cranes on the quays and in the warehouses, the tower supplied drinking water to ships at berth and houses around the docks. The tower also contained a 68.5m hydraulic lift from the ground to the gallery levels (as well as spiral stairs to the top). The timber lock gates at Grimsby — some 9.1m high and 21.3m (west) and 13.7m wide (east) — were the first ever to be worked hydraulically.
So Thomas was living as a lodger in a house in King Edward Street in Grimsby and was recorded there in the 1851 census.
Thomas Charlton 1851 census

Thomas D. Straughan, Lodger, Married, 31, Millwright, Born Bilborg, Northumberland
Thomas CHARLTON, Lodger, Single, 23, Blacksmith, Born Wideopen, Northumberland
The area around King Edward Street would have been well populated with the many men working on the new docks-I showed a picture of the opening of these docks which I found in the Illustrated London News

On Cleethorpes Road at another address used by workers from the Newcastle-upon-Tyne area was the Millington Family.1851 England Census for Betsy Millington
Lincolnshire Great Grimsby 4j
Cleethorpe Road,
 John MILLINGTON, Head, Married, 53, Mariner, born Hull, Yorks.
Martha MILLINGTON, Wife, Married, 53, Born Hull, Yorks.
Robert MILLINGTON, son, Unmarried, 21, Journeyman Blacksmith, born Hull, Yorks.
Betsy MILLINGTON, Daughter, Unmarried, 23, born Hull, Yorks.
Ann MILLINGTON, Daughter, Unmarried, Dressmaker apprentice, Born Hull, Yorks.
Christiana MILLINGTON, Daughter, Unmarried, Day Scholar, born Hull, Yorks.
2 Engineers & 2 stone masons, from County Durham, living as lodgers.
Martha Millington, Elizabeth's mother was born Martha Bainbridge in Hull, christened at Hull Holy Trinity on 27 June, 1798. On 11 September 1814, she married Samuel Coates, a mariner, so only 16 years of age, so needed consent of her father William Bainbridge. Samuel died very soon afterwards, because on 24th August 1817, she married John Millington at Sculcoates Church in Hull. The whole family then remain in Hull as they are all living in Wellington, Street, Hull in the 1841 census. Then some time before 1851, the whole family move to Grimsby, probably for the same reason that others did as the new dock was being built there. Maybe that was why their daughter Elizabeth or Betsy Millington married Thomas Charlton at Hull Holy Trinity in September 1851.

Then on 29 September 1851, Thomas Charlton married Elizabeth Millington at Hull Holy Trinity Church. 
Here is a copy of their marriage certificate.
1851 Marriage solemnized at Hull, in the Parish of Holy Trinity, in the county of Yorkshire.
No. 110: September 29th, Thomas CHARLTON, of full age, Bachelor, a Smith, living in High Street, Hull, son of Hugh CHARLTON, a Smith & Elizabeth MILLINGTON, of full age, of High Street, Hull, daughter of John Millington, a Labourer, were married at the Parish Church, by banns, by Joseph G. Bates, curate, in presence of Stephen Hurst & Sarah Broddal.

The next event in Betsy Charlton's life was the death of her mother Martha. I found a record of her burial at Doughty Road cemetery in Grimsby Central Library.

No. 49: In Memory of Martha, the beloved wife of John MILLINGTON, who departed this life October 15th 1856 aged 57 years. Then a few years later in 1860 her father John Millington, died on 1 December 1860 and he too was buried in Doughty Road Cemetery on 5 December 1860. Meanwhile, Betsy was married to Thomas and they had a number of children between them, some of whom must have died quite early on.

I have looked for information about Thomas after 1851 and found little apart from the Census of 1861:
1861 England Census for Thomas Charlton
Lincolnshire Great Grimsby District 11
Entry No. 82: Cleethorpe Road:
Thomas CHARLTON, Head, Married, 33, Master Engineer, & Iron Founder employing 13 men & 5 boys. Born Wideopen, Northumberland.
Elizabeth CHARLTON, Wife, Married, Born Hull, Yorkshire.
Ann Eliza CHARLTON, Daughter, Single, 8, Scholar, Born Great Grimsby, Lincs.
John Hugh CHARLTON, Son, 5, Scholar, born Great Grimsby, Lincs.
Martha Catherine CHARLTON, Daughter, 2, Born Great Grimsby, Lincs.
Thomas CHARLTON, Son, 3 months, born Great Grimsby, Lincs.
Ann MILLINGTON, Sister, 25, Dress maker, born Hull, Yorkshire
Hannah Lee, Servant, 13, House Servant, born Skipton, Lancashire.
So Thomas now has a thriving ship-building business and is an iron founder as well. He has an office in Church Street, Grimsby and a ship-building dock on the Royal Docks at Grimsby. He and his wife Elizabeth in 1861 have 4 children, 2 daughters & 2 sons.
The children marry at St Mary's Roman Catholic Church at Holme Hill, Grimsby, so I wonder if they were christened there too. Grimsby Central Library has some fiche records of baptisms at that church so a trip to Grimsby might solve that problem.
Their first child was called Ann Eliza born in 1852-she married a John Henry COLLINGWOOD, a grocer of Freeman Street. This is the marriage record: St. Marys Roman Catholic Church Holme Hill Clee 28/02/1876 COLLINGWOOD John Henry 24 Bachelor Grocer Freeman Street ,Grimsby Henry Confectioner CHARLTON Ann Eliza 23 Spinster ----- Church Street, Grimsby Thomas Engineer J.H.CHARLTON T.E.CHARLTON ----- -----
The next child born in Grimsby to Thomas & Betsy Millington was John Hugh CHARLTON, born in the January quarter of 1856 at 82, Cleethorpes Road, Grimsby. Now that seems quite a gap between John & his sister Ann Eliza, so I was thinking there must be another one between them. John Hugh would seem to receive his names from his maternal grandfather's forename and his paternal grandfather's forename-Hugh Charlton in Wideopen village. John Hugh as 15 year old in 1871 is shown as working as a clerk in his father's office in Church Street, Grimsby. By now his father Thomas had been elected to Grimsby Borough Council.

This article explains how he was chosen to be elected as a town councillor: Lincolnshire Chronicle - Friday 01 November 1867
Mr. Knott having been called upon by the chairman, said he had that day had the untold satisfaction of nominating Mr. Thomas Charlton as a fit and proper person to represent the burgesses in the Town Council. The satisfaction felt arose from the fact that, in his opinion, the gentlemen whose term of office had expired, at least two of them could be dispensed with advantage to the town, particularly if Mr. Charllton were elected in the place of one of them. (Hear ) The gentleman he had named was a townsman, well known from end to end as the supporter of a large amount of trade and labour in his branch of business-that of engineer and iron-founder. It was well known, too, that he had introduced and carried on the iron ship-building business, and to his enterprise alone was due the claim which Grimsby has to rank as an iron ship-building port. He had no doubt that the gentleman he had referred to would if elected, give every satisfaction as a town councillor. He was elected to do the job and sat in the council for the rest of his life. He was elected Mayor in 1875, and on 1st August 1877, during the riots at the Royal Hotel, he read the Riot Act; an article states this: About quarter to twelve the mayor read the Riot Act.  Mr. John Hugh Charlton, the son of the mayor of Grimsby, said was with his father at the time he read the Riot Act. The crowd were in a very excited state. Witness did not see any more stones thrown after the Act was heard, but heard that the rioters continued to throw them. 
Anyway 2 years later John Hugh married Margaret Wilhelmina Sales
Grimsby Marriage Index, my CD of Grimsby marriages from Denise Light states
At St. Marys Roman Catholic Church,  Holme Hill, Grimsby on 26/11/1879, John Hugh CHARLTON aged 23, a Bachelor, an  Engineer of Church Street, Grimsby son of  Thomas CHARLTON an Engineer married Margaret Wilhelmina SALES, aged 22, a Spinster of Cleethorpe Road, Grimsby daughter of Daniel William SALES a Decorator witnessed by Thomas CHARLTON & Elizabeth TONGE.
Elizabeth Tonge was the wife of Mr. R. J. Tonge, the manager of the Royal Hotel.

A few years ago I put together a story of the life of Margaret Wilhelmina SALES.

Margaret was born in the December quarter of 1857 in Hull, youngest daughter of Daniel William SALES & his wife Elizabeth, maiden name Stringer. Daniel William SALES was born in March 1824 in Crowle, Lincolnshire the son of John Sales & Elizabeth.

Daniel William SALES
Crowle Parish Records - Baptisms (1824) No 691: Born March 10, 1824, Baptism date 16 March, 1824, Daniel William, son of John & Elizabeth SALES, of Crowle, a butcher, by J. Johnson.
www.lincstothepast.com/Records/RecordDisplayTranscript.aspx?
oid=569500&iid=179433

Daniel William was no doubt named after his maternal grandfather Daniel Tonge

Daniel & Margaret were married in Hull-a record states:- 26 September 1844 • Kingston Upon Hull Holy Trinity, Yorkshire, England
Holy Trinity, Kingston upon Hull, Yorkshire Sept 26 at the Holy Trinity Church, Mr. D. Sales, painter, Witham, to Elizabeth, only daughter of Mr. John Stringer, Queen Street. So then I went on the search for Elizabeth Stringer, the maiden name of the wife Daniel Sales. I soon found that she was born in Spittlegate, Grantham, Lincolnshire, as the daughter of John Stringer & his wife Elizabeth.
Grantham St Wulfram Parish Records - Baptisms (1825) No 58 21 May 1825, Elizabeth daughter of John & Elizabeth STRINGER of Spittlegate, Innholder, by Rev. Wm. Potchett
No. 88:  21 May 1825, Elizabeth, daughter of John & Elizabeth STRINGER, of Spittlegate, Innholder ,by Rev. Wm. Potchett
https://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/RecordDisplayTranscript.aspx?oid=653044&iid=340510
Elizabeth Stringer’s maiden name was very difficult to find. The way I finally found out was too look at the 1851 & 1861 census for her & her husband John Stringer. Elizabeth in the 1861 census says she was born in Marnham, Nottinghamshire. In that census she says she is 74 years of age, so born 13 years before 1800, so 1787. In the 1851 census she says she is born in Marnham, Nottinghamshire and says she is 51 years of age so born in 1800. So I am now looking for a lady called Elizabeth, born in Marnham, Nottinghamshire between 1787 & 1800!
Looking again I see that John & Elizabeth have at least 6 children born in and around Grantham, Lincolnshire between 1819 & 1828.
Using a combination of Family Search & Lincstothepast I found the following records.
1. Their first child was William, born before 16 February, 1819, christened at Somerby, near Grantham.
Records state:  No 42: 16 February 1819, William son of John & Elizabeth STRINGER, of Somerby, Tollgate Keeper, by John Myers (Somerby by Grantham Parish Records - Baptisms (1818-1821)
https://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/RecordDisplayTranscript.aspx?oid=567906&iid=322964
So John Stringer, father in 1819 was employed as a toll-keeper in Somerby, near Grantham.
2. Their second child was Sophia, born before 20 August 1820, christened on that date at Somerby, near Grantham.

https://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/RecordDisplayTranscript.aspx?oid=567906&iid=322964
3. Their third child was George Stringer, born before 25 October 1821, christened on that date at Grantham, St Wulfram Parish Church.

https://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/RecordDisplayTranscript.aspx?oid=514332&iid=340339
So now between 1820 & 1821, John & family move into Grantham, with him becoming an inn-holder, is that the same as an innkeeper? The next record I found was the baptism of a second son called George Edward in 1823, so I went to look for the death of their first child called George & found this record. So George died before 26 March 1822 and was buried in the churchyard of Grantham St Wulfram Parish Church.

John has become the landlord of the Blue Horse Inn Spittlegate, Grantham.

Sept 26 at the Holy Trinity Church, Mr. D. Sales, painter, Witham, to Elizabeth, only daughter of Mr. John Stringer, Queen Street. That seems to suggest that John & Elizabeth's other daughters have died.

So Margaret's parents are married in 1844,  and her family start to be born.

The census of 1851 lists this family Sarah Ann Brunyee Sales is with her parents and her sister Elizabeth Stringer Sales is with her grandparents.

DEATHS
On the 4th instant, in this town, aged 33 years, Mr. D. W Sales, painter and decorator. So his widow, Elizabeth nee STRINGER is left holding the reins of her husband's business so she makes the following announcement.
Hull Packet - Friday 20 March 1857
V ICTORIA - ROOMS, QUEEN-STREET, HULL. MRS. E. SALES, in tendering her thanks to the nobility, gentry, and public of Hull, the East- Riding of Yorkshire, and Lincolnshire, for the very extensive patronage bestowed upon her late husband, D. W. SALES, Painter, Paper-hanger, and Decorator, begs respectfully to inform them that she intends to continue the business of Paper-hanger, Painter, and Decorator. The Paper-hanging business will be conducted by her on her own account; and that of the Painting and Decorating department by her, in conjunction with MR.RICD. T. SALES (the brother, and for several years past the principal assistant of the late D. W. Sales), under the Firm of E. and R. T. SALES, who respectfully solicit a continuance of the patronage so liberally bestowed upon the late D. W. Sales. Victoria-rooms, 18th March, 1857.

Richard Tonge SALES, was named after the maiden name of his mother, Elizabeth Tonge. He was born in Crowle, Lincolnshire in his father John Sales’s butchers shop in 1831. 

In the 1841 Census he is living with his parents & family in Crowle (his elder brother Robert, has just drowned in a village pond in 1836). Ten years later, Richard is working as a painter in a Yorkshire village of Kippax, and then 10 years after in April 1861 that he is in Hull, boarding with the widow of his elder brother Daniel William SALES who has just died 4 years earlier. A couple of his brother’s children at the house on Census day, whilst his other niece Margaret Wilhelmina is with her grandmother Elizabeth STRINGER in Goxhill, Lincolnshire. Richard now his helping to run his brother’s decorating & paper hanging business. The business seemed to run into financial problems in 1865 and again in 1887, when newspaper articles in the “Gazette” show his insolvencies, but he was still in the business in 1871 in the Victoria Rooms in Hull employing 25 men & 11 boys, still unmarried and on that day 2 young people with the surname Tonge are at his house, Sarah aged 22 & John aged 7, so born 1864. John is the son of his aunt Elizabeth SALES, whom Richard was boarding with in April 1861. She was then a widow, but she re-married to a Richard John Tonge, a corn merchant on the 27 March 1863. (Hull Packet - Friday 27 March 1863

March 21, at St. James's Church, Hull, by the Rev J W Hunt, incumbent, Mr Richard John Tonge, corn merchant, to Mrs Elizabeth Sales, both of this place.  

Margaret Wilhelmina Sales has an elder sister called Elizabeth Stringer Sales-the Stringer from the maiden name of her mother. She marries an Edward Gotobed of 41, Crossland Road, Haverstock Hill, London on 11 July 1870. (see source)
Hull Packet - Friday 15 July 1870
Gotobed-Sales. - July 11th, at- Holy Trinity Church Hull, by the Rev. H. S. Atkinson, Mr Edward Gotobed, of 41, Crossland-road, Haverstock Hill, London, to Elizabeth Stringer, eldest daughter of the late Mr D. W. Sales.
In the 1871 Census, Margaret Wilhelmina Sales is in St. Pancras London, aged 14, staying at the home of Mr. Edward Gotobed and his wife at 41, Crossland Road, Haverstock Hill. Also at the house is Elizabeth Tonge, Margaret's mother & mother in law of Edward Gotobed, aged 43, born Grantham, Lincolnshire, and Alice Tonge aged 6, born Hull.
So with her first husband dead, Elizabeth SALES, nee Stringer, now married Richard John TONGE, on 21st March 1863 at St James Church, Hull. In the newspaper, Richard is described as a corn merchant, but in then goes into the hotel trade, becoming the proprietor  of a new hotel in Hornsea, that co-incided with the opening of a new railway between Hull & Hornsea.
The Hull Packet and East Riding Times (Hull, England), Friday, June 21, 1867; Issue 4300.

So Elizabeth would have gone to Honsea with her family to live in the hotel. However in 1871, about the time of the census in April, she and her daughter Margaret Wilhelmina go to London to stay with the daughter Elizabeth Stringer Gotobed nee SALES. Elizabeth had married Edward Gotobed at Holy Trinity Church in Hull on 11 July 1870. (Source Hull Packet - Friday 15 July 1870)

Meawhile Richard John Tonge & his wife Mrs Elizabeth SALES nee STRINGER, have a son which they name as John Tonge.born about 1864 in Hull.  John became a solicitor, a local newspaper reported the passing of his law society exams.
 The Hull Packet and East Riding Times (Hull, England), Friday, November 27, 1885; Issue 5275. GRIMSBY Mr. John Tonge, elder son of Mr. R. J.

John worked for the Charlton family as their solicitor as the 1891 Census explains-he was shown as being resident at Waltham Grove, the home of the Charlton family.
He was later killed in the 1st World War as these 2 articles explain:
Hull Daily Mail - Wednesday 02 May 1917 At Grimsby Parish Church Tuesday, a memorial service to the late Colonel John Tonge, C-M.G-.

So no doubt that was how Margaret Wilhelmina came to know John Hugh Charlton. This was their marriage in November 1879, 2 years after that riot at the Royal Hotel.

At St. Marys Roman Catholic Church,  Holme Hill, Grimsby on 26/11/1879, John Hugh CHARLTON aged 23, a Bachelor, an  Engineer of Church Street, Grimsby son of  Thomas CHARLTON an Engineer married Margaret Wilhelmina SALES, aged 22, a Spinster of Cleethorpe Road, Grimsby daughter of Daniel William SALES a Decorator witnessed by Thomas CHARLTON & Elizabeth TONGE.

A newspaper article carried a report of the wedding but also a dreadful accident as well.
Stamford Mercury - Friday 05 December 1879
On the 26th ult. distressing and fatal accident occurred at the foundry of Alderman Charlton, Grimsby, under the following circumstances. Mr. Thomas Charlton had been that morning united in marriage to Miss Sales, daughter Mrs. Tonge, of the Royal Hotel. In celebration of the auspicious occasion, the employees let off a number fireworks and bombs. Among other devices, they had filled a large boiler nut with gunpowder, and had placed upon it an anvil and other things. A train of powder was then laid and a match applied to it. Unfortunately the weight of  the anvil proved too great, and it did not yield when the explosion took place, and it was burst into pieces, which flew in all directions, one piece striking a poor woman who standing on the footpath. The missile struck her near the groin, and she fell down bleeding dreadfully. She was attended by Mr. Challons, assistant to Dr. Newby, who did his utmost for her, but she died the next afternoon at her home, Wilkin's buildings, in Albert-street. The deceased was Eliza Pearson, the wife a labourer, aged 28. A man who was passing at the moment of the accident was also injured, but happily not seriously.


Together they had 3 children,
1, Rowland Hugh CHARLTON born in the July quarter of 1880.
2. Bernard Thomas CHARLTON born in the January quarter of 1882
3. Mary Gertrude CHARLTON born in the December quarter of 1883

So in the 1881 census this is the entry:
.1881 England Census for John Hugh Charlton, Lincolnshire Great Grimsby District 14
22, Church Street, Grimsby
John Hugh CHARLTON, Head, Married, 26, Engineer’s Clerk, born Grimsby, Lincolnshire
Margaret CHARLTON, wife, Married, 23, Born Hull, Yorkshire
Rowland CHARLTON, son, 8 months, Born Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
Annie Clark, Servant, Unmarried, General Servant(domestic), born Wrangle, Lincolnshire.

So Thomas & his wife Margaret go to live where his father Thomas has his engineering business at 22, Church Street, Grimsby. He had moved out of Church Street to 9, Grosvenor St in Grimsby.

On Tuesday 24th June, 1884, Mrs. John CHARLTON performed a launching ceremony at the  yard of her husband's fathers ship yard on Grimsby Docks. This newspaper article explains what happened.
Lincolnshire Chronicle - Friday 27 June 1884
New Steam Trawler,-A fine new steam trawler was launched from the yard of Mr. Alderman Charlton, on Tuesday evening. She is built for Mr. Charlton himself, and is intended for the trawl fishing exclusively, not being designed as a carrier. She is 95ft. in length, over all, with 19ft. width of beam, and 11ft. 6in. depth of hold. She is built under Lloyd's special survey and classed 100 A. Her fittings will comprise all the latest improvements known to the fishing trade, and various novelties of construction have been introduced. The engines will be 25 horse-power nominal, and the trawl beam will have a sweep of about 53ft. Altogether it is the opinion of experienced practical men that the vessel will be the most perfect trawler afloat. The launch was a most successful one, and the ceremony of christening the vessel the Newcastle was gracefully performed by Mrs. John Charlton.

On the 2nd November, 1885, John Hugh Charlton was nominated as a councillor for Grimsby North-East ward-the newspaper didn't mention if he was elected to the post. On the 15th April, 1889, John Hugh Charlton was nominated for a post on the Grimsby School Board.


10 years later John & his family have moved from Church Street to their own house in Hainton Avenue, then called Hainton Street.

This article appeared in a local newspaper about John Hugh Charlton's vessel" Stanley Africanus"
Hull Daily Mail - Friday 04 November 1898
MANY CLAIMS TO-DAY. STORY OF A DISASTER OFF THE YORKSHIRE COAST. (SPECIAL TELEGRAM.) In the Admiralty Court, to-day, before Justice Barnes and Trinity Masters, salvage claims were brought behalf of the Yarmouth fishing vessel Silver Spray, belonging to Mr Chas. Olley; the steam yacht Borboleta, Hull, belonging to the Fishery Board; the Amy, Grimsby, belonging to Mr McLaughlin; and the steam trawler, Stanley Africanus, of Grimsby, belonging to John Hugh Charlton. The claims were made in respect of services rendered in September last in the North Sea, and in the port of Grimsby, to the Danish barquentine, Kierstine which, whilst bound from St. Petersburg to King's Lynn, with a cargo of oilcake, had been lain into by an unknown vessel off the Yorkshire coast, and so severely dam-aged that the master and crew abandoned her. The Silver Spray picked them up. One was suffering from pneumonia. They were landed at Grimsby. Her claim was accordingly for life salvage. The Borboleta and Amy found the derelict off the Yorkshire coast, and put men board, and the former also acquainted the Stanley Africanus with the circumstances, whereupon the latter also came upon the scene, and ultimately towed the derelict into Grimsby. The Borboleta, Amy, and Stanley Africanus claimed against the ship and cargo salved, which was valued at £1,590. In giving judgment, his Lordship said taking into consideration that the Silver Spray had already had something from the ship-owners, he thought as against the cargo owners she ought to receive £100. He awarded Borboleta £140 (owners' £90, and crew £50) Amy £60, and the Stanley Africanus £300. Total award, £600. Judgment accordingly, with costs.

Now that was a funny name for a ship wasn't?

In  the Census of 1901 John H & family  are still at the same address:

1901 England Census for John H Charlton

“The Poplars”, 270, Hainton Street, Grimsby,

Ada BRADFORD, Servant, 22, Domestic Housemaid, Born Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
Amelia WEBSTER, Servant, Single, 27, Domestic Cook, Born Grimsby, Lincolnshire

So in this census, son Rowland is shown as being employed as a pupil mechanical engineer, whilst his brother Bernard T is a pupil timber merchant, whilst their sister Mary G. is a 17 year old single lady.

Then in March 1902, this event  happened at Grimsby Town Hall, with John Hugh Charlton's connection with the Roman Catholic Church in Grimsby being demonstrated.
Hull Daily Mail - Wednesday 02 April 1902
CENTURY CARNIVAL BAZAAR AT GRIMSBY. OPENED BY PRINCESS LUDWIG. What the Catholic community of Grimsby takes in hand is invariably attended with success, and the Now Century Carnival Bazaar, which was opened this afternoon, and will continue up to and including Saturday, is the event the year of its kind. Every part of the Town Hall has been utilised. The large hall represents Venice, the scenic effects being very striking. The banqueting- room, prettily decorated, was reserved for the luncheon which preceded the opening ceremony. Entertainments take place in the Council Chamber, and a cafe chantant, under the supervision of Mrs Swaby, assisted by a number of Puritan maidens, serves tea and coffee to the accompaniment of a drawing-room entertainment. Teas and suppers have been provided by ' Mrs Norledge, who invariably deals bountifully with her patrons. Christy Minstrel entertainments in the Old Council Chamber; a ping-pong tournament on Friday; archery tournament on Saturday ; marionettes, and in fact every variety of enjoyment has been provided for the visitors. It was intended to have the bazaar last year, but the unfortunate lock-out dislocated the arrangements. The object of the Carnival is a most praiseworthy one. The magnificent institution in Victor-street, known the "Orphanage," has been acquired by the Sisters of St, Joseph and the purchase of the building involved a cost of £3,500. A mortgage was necessary, and it is for the purpose of reducing this, and so easing the financial burden of the Sisters, that the Catholics of Grimsby have for months been steadily working to bring about to-day's Carnival. The Orphanage is entirely unsectarian, and the girls are taught household duties, and educated in a manner Catholic Sisters have long been noted for. Any orphan girl in Grimsby or district can obtain a portion, and this philanthropic movement naturally brought to the assistance of the Sisters many leaders of the Anglican churches. The bazaar had a capital send-off. It was under the patronage of the Mayor and  Mayoress (Councillor and Mrs Abrahams), Lord and Lady Heneage, Alderman Doughty, M.P., and Mrs Doughty, the Dowager Duchess of Newcastle, the Marquis and Marchioness of Ripon, the Earl and Countess of Yarborough, Victoria Countess of Yarborough, the Lord and the Lady Mowbray and Stourton, Lady Clifford, Lady Berwick, Lord and Lady Herries, Lady Winefride  Cary-Elwes, (Lady Agnes de Trafford, the Hon  Mrs Fraser, Mr and Mrs Chichester Constable, Rev J. P. Hawkins (Rector of St. Mary's), Alderman and Mrs Southworth, Alderman and Mrs Sutcliffe. Mr and Mrs John Hugh Charlton, Alderman Charlton, etc. Owing to the unavoidable absence of Lady Mowbray and Stourton, the Princess Ludwig took her place. She was present at luncheon, at which there was a very large attendance of patrons and the elite of the Borough and County, presided over Mr J. Hugh Charlton. Following the luncheon Her Serene Highness Princess Ludwig, of Lowestein, performed the opening ceremony, supported by Lady Cary-Elwes and Mr Cary-Elwes, Ladv Berwick, Hon Mrs Fraser, Revs Father Hawkins (Grimsby), O'Hagan (Nottingham) Cons (Lincoln), and Bull Osgodby), Alderman and Mrs Southworth. Dr Grange, Captain Crosby, Dr and Mrs Bruce, Mrs J. Sutcliffe, Mr J. R Buckley, Mr and Mrs Chandler, Mrs J. Hugh Charlton, Pratt, Councillor Tyson, and others.

It appears that the CHARLTON Family contributed to the construction of St Mary's Roman Catholic Church, Holme Hill, Grimsby.

Stamford Mercury - Friday 27 November 1903

The late Alderman Charlton—There was a crowded congregation at St. Mary's Catholic church, on Sunday morning, when the Right Rev. Robert Brindle, D.S.0., Bishop of Nottingham, celebrated solemn high mass, and dedicated the chancel of the church, which has been renovated by Mr. John Hugh Charlton and other members of the Charlton family, in memory of the late Ald. Charlton, J.P., their | father. Ald. Charlton played an important part in the public life both Grimsby and Newcastle, in which latter town he was born, and his family in order to perpetuate his memory, decided to redecorate the chancel of St. Mary's, the late Alderman being a most devout Catholic and regular attendant at that place of worship. The work was entrusted to Messrs. Pippet, artists, Solihull. Warwickshire, who have carried out the scheme with true artistic feeling, and still the figures of our Lord and the saints together with the entire decorative work are rich in colour. On the left hand side as one faces the reredos is an impressive painting of the Nativity, included in which is a capital portrait of the dead Alderman, who is depicted kneeling in his Mayoral robes. Affixed to the stone tracery, below is tablet bearing the inscription "To the memory of Thomas Charlton. J.P., for 35 years Councillor and Alderman of this ancient town. He was Mayor in the years 1875-6, being the second Catholic elected Mayor in England since the change of religion. He died March 15th, 1903aged 76 years, whose soul sweet Jesus have mercy. Jesus, Redeemer, listen to our prayers and give joy to our father, Thomas. We his children, have thus enriched Thy sanctuary in thanksgiving for the loving care with which he guarded us. When thou dost read this Christian Pilgrim, pray for his peace and thus thy own. The bishop made several references to the piety and usefulness of the dead Alderman's life, in dedicating this glorious embellishment of the sanctuary, while later in the day preached and held a confirmation service

Boston Guardian - Saturday 28 November 1903
LATE ALDERMAN CHARLTON, J.P., OF GRIMSBY. There was a crowded congregation at St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church, Grimsby, on Sunday morning, when the Right Rev. Robert Brindle, D.S.0., Bishop of Nottingham, celebrated solemn High Mass and dedicated the chancel of the church, which has been renovated by Mr. John Hugh Charlton and other members of the Charlton family, in memory of the late Ald, Charlton. J.P., their father.

Now we are nearing the time when Rowland Hugh Charlton married Ann Vere DOUGHTY, I am reverting back to John Hugh Charlton's  father Thomas "Alderman" Charlton, whom we last heard about in November 1867 when he was elected to Grimsby Council. However in August 1867, Thomas's company launched a new trawler as explained in a newspaper article.

Lincolnshire Chronicle - Friday 09 August 1867
A superior iron vessel, built by Mr Thomas Charlton, iron-founder and engineer, of this port launched the other day before a large company. She appeared on the stocks, the ship, which has a screw propeller, looked to be perfect in model, and on board the arrangements are in every respect satisfactory. She has accommodation for seven saloon passengers, and has been classed A 1 at Lloyd's for nine years. The first iron ship built in Grimsby was produced by Mr. Charlton, the Fruiterer, vessel which has had a successful career and proved herself thoroughly seaworthy. In the present instance the ship is of a larger order, and nothing but orders is wanted to enable the enterprising builders produce iron ships of the first-class. The launch was effected in a novel and simple manner by Miss C. Charlton, and the vessel was named the Sir William Armstrong by Miss A. E. Charlton. The ceremony was followed by a celebration amongst the builder and a few private friends, such as is customary on the occasion of an important launch.

Miss C. Charlton & Miss A. E. Charlton are Thomas's daughters, Miss A. E. is Ann Eliza who was 14 years old & Miss C must have been Martha Catherine Charlton, who was 8 years old. 

The census of 1871 states this for Thomas's family:

1871 England Census for Thomas Charlton

Martha Aisthorpe, Servant, Single, 20, General Servant (Domestic), born Scartho, Lincs.

Certainly Thomas, having been elected to Grimsby Council was very much involved with it-having looked at various newspaper reports this is what I have found.

Thomas as Grimsby Town Council:

In April, 1869, Thomas was at the Council meeting when he proposed the improvements be made to the Doughty Road cemetery. Then in April 1870, he proposed that the police force be increased. On Monday 31st January, 1881, his son John Hugh Charlton had carried out work on the Town Hall’s heating apparatus and had submitted an account to be paid. Another alderman criticised John Hugh’s work, saying he shouldn’t be doing work for the council where his father is an alderman. On 5th March 1887, Thomas along with the then mayor Alderman Smethurst met the agent of Lord Heneage to obtain his permission to seek land for the new cemetery to be built on Scartho Rd, Grimsby. In November 1901, he retired from the council but along with George Doughty was re-elected.

Note the census of that year stated Thomas was a widower, so I found this record:  Elizabeth CHARLTON died 14 December 1873 at Church Street, Grimsby, Lincolnshire, was buried at Doughty Road Cemetery on 18th December 1873, in Plot number 21/74, denomination Roman Catholic & wife of Thomas CHARLTON, engineer. Reference no. 5588.

However Thomas then remarried a lady called Martha JOHNSON on 27 January 1876 at St Mary's Roman Catholic Church, Holme Hill, Grimsby. She was the daughter of Isaiah JOHNSON a coal owner. The source for this marriage is a record in Grimsby & Cleethorpes marriage Index by Denise Light see http://www.angelfire.com/de/delighted/

But sadly his wife Martha died later that year as reported in a local newspaper & recorded in the cemetery records of Doughty Road Cemetery, Grimsby.
Stamford Mercury - Friday 27 October 1876
Great Sympathy is felt for the Mayor (Thos. Charlton, Esq) in the bereavement he has sustained by the death of his wife; the late Mayoress as was the sister of if the Rev. Dean JOHNSON, of Grimsby. Many of the tradesmen, as well as private persons have evinced their feeling by closed shutters, whilst at several business establishments flags have been hoisted at half-mast.

Martha CHARLTON nee JOHNSON, wife of Thomas CHARLTON, engineer, died at Church Street, Grimsby on 23 October 1876, and was buried at Doughty Road Cemetery in Plot 21/90 (RC), on 26 October 1876. Reference No. 7083. No doubt the service was conducted at St Mary's Roman Catholic Church where the deceased's brother the Rev. Dean Johnson presided.

10 years later Thomas is still a widower at the same address

Mary E. COLLINGWOOD, granddaughter, 10, Scholar, born Grimsby, Lincolnshire.

Annita M. Leedham, Servant, Single, Domestic Servant, born Hull, Yorkshire.

The census above states that Thomas's granddaughter Mary E. Collingwood was with him and his family in the 1891 census.
Mary was the daughter of Thomas's daughter Ann Eliza who had married a John Henry COLLINGWOOD on 28th February 1876-this was that marriage record: St. Marys Roman Catholic Church Holme Hill Clee 28/02/1876 COLLINGWOOD John Henry 24 Bachelor Grocer Freeman Street ,Grimsby son of  Henry a Confectioner & CHARLTON Ann Eliza 23 Spinster ----- Church Street, Grimsby, daughter of  Thomas an  Engineer  (witnesses J.H.CHARLTON T.E.CHARLTON ) 

I think that young Mary E. Collingwood was with her grandfather Thomas Charlton in this census because her mother, Ann Eliza Collingwood, nee Charlton died in the January quarter of 1883, when the family were living at 55, Freeman Street, Grimsby where her husband was a grocer & provision merchant.

Ann Eliza COLLINGWOOD died on 28 February 1883, aged 30 at her home address in Freeman Street, Grimsby. Her death & burial are recorded in Scartho Road cemetery records:
Ann Eliza COLLINGWOOD nee CHARLTON Death & Burial
COLLINGWOOD, Ann Eliza, of Freeman Street, Grimsby, died 28 February 1883, buried on 3 March 1883, aged 30, in plot No. 21/98, Denomination Charles Paul, Wife of J. H. Collingwood, grocer etc, Reference No. 1022.
Source: Doughty Road Cemetery Burials by LFHS. She and John Henry Collingwood had 4 children between them, all Thomas Charlton's grandchildren of course.
1. Thomas Henry Collingwood born October 1876, married a Sarah Corringham at Hull Register Office and between them had 3 daughters. he was employed as an engineer.
2. A little boy was born in May 1879 and died 27 May 1879, and was buried at Doughty Road cemetery on 28th May 1879..
3. a daughter called Mary Elizabeth Collingwood, who married a William Rhoades in 1906.
4. a son called Francis Collingwood born in 1883, who married a Rose Ann Daly at Portsmouth on 17 August 1907.
Meanwhile, Thomas Charlton's son-in-law John Henry Collingwood stopped being a grocer and went into the licensing trade.These 2 newspaper articles illustrate his career in 1897 & in 1899.
Stamford Mercury - Friday 23 April 1897
Vacant. GROCERY.— Wanted at once, an energetic Youth, about 17 or 18, with two or three years' experience.— J. H. Collingwood, Freeman-street, Grimsby

Sheffield Daily Telegraph - Friday 25 August 1899

GRIMSBY. The annual licensing sessions for the borough of Grimsby were held yesterday. The applications were numerous, and far in excess previous years. They had also excited more interest * than usual, and there was large attendance of members of local temperance organisations, as well as of Nonconformist ministers in Court. The other applications were as follow:—Off wine licenses : John Henry Collingwood. White Bear Nos. 59 and 61, Freeman Street.

So John Henry in 1899 is the licensee on the White Bear Public House in Freeman Street, Grimsby. he married for a second time to a widow called Eliza HALL-a newspaper, the Hull Daily Mail reported on this marriage: 

MARRIAGES. COLLINGWOOD—HALL.—April 25th (by licence)at the Wesley Methodist Chapel, George-street, Grimsby, by the Rev C. B. McCuilagh, John Henry Collingwood, of the White Bear Inn, Freeman-street, Grimsby, to Eliza Hall, of the Albion Hotel, Cleetborpe-road, Grimsby. So his bride Eliza, had been married to a Thomas William Hall who had died in 1896.

So getting back to Thomas CHARLTON: 

In the next 10 years his son Thomas marries a Sarah MUMBY_

The marriage was reported in a newspaper as well:

Stamford Mercury - Friday 04 November 1892

Marriages: Nov. 1, Thomas Charlton, Grimsby, to Sarah Mumby, of Cleethorpes.

As regards his company then the newspapers report these incidents.Thomas at work

In December 1870, one of his company’s ships, the Saxony of 437 tons was destroyed by fire, when its cargo of Esparto Grass caught fire and burnt the ship to the water’s edge. Then on Thursday 23rd July 1874, his daughter Cecily launched a new iron screw steamer of the same name from her father’s shipyard. In April, 1882 a man called Francis Slater, a boilermaker employed by Thomas at his company in Church Street was convicted of stealing a quantity of rope from Thomas’s shipyard in Grimsby. On 24th March 1883 Miss Cissy Charlton, his daughter, christened  a new vessel called the Cancer, which was built for the Steam Trawling Company which I think was owned by George Doughty, so another connection between the Charlton family & Doughty family.

In 1901, this was the census then

1901 England Census for Thomas Charlton

So by 1901, Thomas has retired from work and all the family have left home.
He died on 15 March 1903 at his home in 9, Grosvenor Crescent, Grimsby.

So this was the full obituary for Thomas Charlton:

Hull Daily Mail - Monday 16 March 1903
THE LATE ALD. T. CHARLTON. SENIOR MEMBER OF GRIMSBY's CORPORATION. * SKETCH OF HIS CAREER After a long illness, borne with much fortitude, Alderman Thomas Charlton, J.P., passed away yesterday at 12.50 p.m. at his residence, 9, Grosvenor-crescent, Grimsby. One the best known local public men took a most active part in the development of civic life until illness compelled him relinquish the bulk of his public duties. He was Mayor of the Borough in 1875-6, having succeeded to the office vacated by the late John Winteringham. It was a most memorable and trying year of office. The notable election when Seddon and Walker were the rival candidates led to a serious riot, with the result that the mob stormed the Royal Hotel. It fell to Alderman Charlton to read the Riot Act, and this unthankful duty he carried out with dignity. He was also the Senior Alderman of the borough, having accepted the position in 1877 immediately following his Mayoralty, and also the senior member of the Corporation, which he first entered in 1868. He was also presiding Alderman the North-East, Ward. In recognition of his services the Lord Chancellor placed him upon the Commission the Peace for the Borough, and whenever possible he devoted the necessary care and attention to the important duties of the Judicial Bench. In business life he was the head of the firm of Charlton and Co., Ltd., engineers, of Church-street. John Hugh Charlton, his eldest son, is now the managing director. Born at Wideopen, a Northumberland village, in 1827. he served his apprenticeship with Messrs G. and B. Stephenson, engineers, Newcastle, and subsequently took up a position with the famous Elswick firm, and was sent to Grimsby in 1850 by Lord Armstrong to supervise the erection of the famous hydraulic tower, and afterwards, on his own account, established the famous foundry, Church-street. Here he designed and built the first steam trawler ever launched (the s.s. Cecily), and which led to the entire revolutionising of the fishing industry. He also built the Fruiterer, the first coasting steamer ever built, in Grimsby. In 1854 he married Miss Millington, daughter of Captain Millington, who died in 1873. Two years later, whilst Mayor, he married Miss Johnson, sister of the late Canon Johnson, Rector of St. Mary's, who, however, died the same year, a loss to which Alderman Charlton was never reconciled. In the matter of religion he was a devout Catholic. His almsgiving was quite unostentatious. He was accorded the somewhat rare privilege a week ago of the Papal blessing, which is very sparingly granted to the laity. He was a zealous worker at the inception of the Hospital, and formed one of the first Committee of Management. He leaves two sons and two daughters to mourn his loss. A Requiem Mass will take place at St. Mary's on Wednesday, at 11.30 a.m. and the interment will follow at the Old Cemetery in the family vault.
 The records at Doughty Road cemetery from Lincolnshire Family History Society read thus:
Thomas CHARLTON, a Roman Catholic, & former engineer, died on 15 March 1903 at 9, Grosvenor Crescent, Grimsby, and was buried in Doughty Road Cemetery on 18 March 1903, in plot 21/98, reference No. 14311.
He left a sum of £34,690 4s 9d.
Stamford Mercury - Friday 24 April 1903

Mr. John Hugh Charlton, engineer, and his son-in-law, Mr. Herbert Lazenby. The  testator bequeathed to the Grimsby and District Hospital on condition that  his son John Hugh is appointed a governor in his place, and he left to his said son the property known as The Poplars and bequeathed to his brother Hugh £300 and he distributed his estate among his two sons and his two daughters. The late Ald. Charlton, who was a son of Mr. Hugh Charlton, of Wydeopen Mumbo, was formerly employed in Elswick Works.

As above, after Thomas's death, his family paid for some work to be carried out to their Roman Catholic Church in memory of their father:

Those 2 articles above explained what the family did: Boston Guardian - Saturday 28 November 1903
LATE ALDERMAN CHARLTON, J.P., OF GRIMSBY. There was a crowded congregation at St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church, Grimsby, on Sunday morning, when the Right Rev. Robert Brindle, D.S.0., Bishop of Nottingham, celebrated solemn High Mass and dedicated the chancel of the church, which has been renovated by Mr. John Hugh Charlton and other members of the Charlton family, in memory of the late Aid, Charlton. J.P., their father.
Stamford Mercury - Friday 27 November 1903
The late Alderman Charlton—There was a crowded congregation at St. Mary's Catholic church, on Sunday morning, when the Right Rev. Robert Brindle, D.S.0., Bishop of Nottingham, celebrated solemn high mass, and dedicated the chancel of the church, which has been renovated by Mr. John Hugh Charlton and other members of the Charlton family, in memory of the late Ald. Charlton, J.P., their | father. Ald. Charlton played an important part in the public life both Grimsby and Newcastle, in which latter town he was born, and his family in order to perpetuate his memory, decided to redecorate the chancel of St. Mary's, the late Alderman being a most devout Catholic and regular attendant at that place of worship. The work was entrusted to Messrs. Pippet, artists, Solihull. Warwickshire, who have carried out the scheme with true artistic feeling, and still the figures of our Lord and the saints together with the entire decorative work are rich in colour. On the left hand side as one faces the reredos is an impressive painting of the Nativity, included in which is a capital portrait of the dead Alderman, who is depicted kneeling in his Mayoral robes. Affixed to the stone tracery, below is tablet bearing the inscription "To the memory of Thomas Charlton. J.P., for 35 years Councillor and Alderman of this ancient town. He was Mayor in the years 1875-6, being the second Catholic elected Mayor in England since the change of religion. He died March 15th, 1903aged 76 years, whose soul sweet Jesus have mercy. Jesus, Redeemer, listen to our prayers and give joy to our father, Thomas. We his children, have thus enriched Thy sanctuary in thanksgiving for the loving care with which he guarded us. When thou dost read this Christian Pilgrim, pray for his peace and thus thy own. The bishop made several references to the piety and usefulness of the dead Alderman's life, in dedicating this glorious embellishment of the sanctuary, while later in the day preached and held a confirmation service.

So now lets go back to Doughty family:
Ann Vere DOUGHTY & Rowland Hugh CHARLTON married at St Mary's RC church on Wednesday 21 June, 1905-so a midsummer's day wedding. Clearly the wedding was such a big occasion that many local & distant newspapers reported on the festivities. Here are just a few of them.If I could find some of the original newspapers instead of these maybe there would have been some photos of the wedding.

Marriage of Ann Vere DOUGHTY & Rowland Hugh CHARLTON.
Hull Daily Mail - Wednesday 21 June 1905

FESTIVITIES AT GRIMSBY & WALTHAM OUR OWN REPORTER.) The marriage took place at St Mary's Roman Catholic Church, Grimsby, this afternoon, of Miss Vere Doughty, only daughter of Sir George Doughty, M.P., of Waltham Old Hall, and Mr Rowland Hugh Charlton, elder son of Mr and Mrs John Hugh Charlton, of The Grove, Waltham.

In view of the important part played by the bride's father in the public life of the town, and also of the historic association of the Charlton family with Grimsby, exceptional interest was taken the event. The residents of Grimsby, in common with the villagers of Waltham, sought in every possible way to manifest their good wishes. Following the example of Mayor (Aid. J. Hewson) many displayed flags and bunting, with the result that the town, and especially those portions through which the party passed, wore a holiday aspect. To mark the occasion, Sir George being chairman of the Education Committee, the school children of the town were given a holiday. Near the entrance to Waltham Hall grounds the roadway has been spanned by an arch of evergreens, spontaneously erected by the workmen of Waltham, while the village was gay with decorations. Amidst these expressions of goodwill the wedding passed off happily, albeit the weather was uncertain. The vicinity of St. Mary's Church was a scene of unusual animation and expectancy. Five hundred guests having accepted invitations, there was a constant stream of cabs. Within the church rich hues of dainty costumes mingled with the artistic decorations of the chancel, and Grimsby people remember that about a year ago the chancel was adorned by life-sized paintings of the Saints, a memorial to the late Alderman T. Charlton, grandfather of the bridegroom. The church arrangements were in the hands of Mrs W. V. Doughty and Bernard Charlton (brother of the bridegroom). The bride had her chief maids, Miss Readhead, of South Shields, and Miss Charlton, sister of the bridegroom; whilst other bridesmaids were Miss Ethel Moss and Miss Lily Doughty, cousins of the bride. Miss Mary Lazenby and Miss Angie Greene, cousins of the bridegroom, were train bearers. The bridegroom was supported by Colonel Walker, V.D., of Spilsby commanding the third V.B. Lincolnshire Regiment, in which the bridegroom is a lieutenant. Sir George gave his daughter away. The Rev Hawkins, assisted by the Rev Father Allen were the officiating clergy, and Mr Collinson's orchestral band provided the music. After the ceremony, the guests drove direct to Waltham Hall, where careful arrangements had been made for their hospitality. The Hall grounds were in excellent condition, and had been specially decorated Mr Cotterill, head gardener. The guests were received at the entrance by Sir George and Mr Charlton, and in the drawing - room by Mr and Mrs Rowland H. Charlton. They passed into pretty floral bar, and through the conservatories into the dining-room, where a massive cake, weighing 60 lbs, standing 38 inches, and measuring 21 Inches in diameter, occupied a central position. The handsome presents were subsequently viewed in the billiard room, and refreshments served in a large marquee. The 3rd V.B Lincolnshire Regiment, under Bandmaster Smith, discoursed music. In the evening the couple were to leave for London en route for the Continent. Every inhabitant of Waltham has been invited to the festivities to-morrow, together with the foremen employed at Messrs Charlton and Co.'s engineering and foundry works. The traffic was well directed by Chief Constable Stirling in the borough, and by Deputy-Chief Constable Stennett in the county.

Grantham Journal - Saturday 24 June 1905
Miss Vere Doughty, only daughter Sir George Doughty, M.P. for Grimsby, was on Wednesday married at St. Mary's Roman Catholic Chnrch, Grimsby, to Mr. Rowland Hugh Charlton, grandson of the late Aid. Charlton, a former Mayor of the town. The town was en fete. Ships in the docks were dressed from, stem to stern with bunting, while the streets blazed with flags. The route which the party took from the Church to the bride's home at Waltham was lined with many thousands spectators.

Sheffield Daily Telegraph - Thursday 22 June 1905
LINCOLNSHIRE. INTERESTING MARRIAGE AT GRIMSBY. Miss Vere Doughty, only daughter Sir George Doughty, M.P. for Grimsby, was yesterday married at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Grimsby, to Mr. Rowland Hugh Charlton, son of Mr. J. H. Charlton, of Waltham Grove, and grandson of the late Alderman Charlton, former Mayor of Grimsby. The town was quite en fete. Ships in the docks were dressed from stem to stem with bunting, while the streets blazed with flags. In the vicinity of the church the police had difficulty in holding the crowds in check. The church itself was reserved for invited guests. Dressed in gown of white chiffon, embroidered with irridescent dewdrops, the bride, leaning upon the arm of Sir George Doughty, looked particularly winsome as she advanced down the aisle. She had a bridal veil of the finest tulle over a coronet of orange blossom and white heather, and a full Court train of ivory satin, glittering with a drapery of dewdrops. The top of the bodice was composed of lovely Garrickmacross lace. She wore a diamond brooch, pearl pendant, and diamond bracelet. The train was carried by  the Misses Mary Lazenby and Angie Greene, cousins of the bridegroom, who wore pretty short dresses of white strigged net and lace, with frilled skirts, and sashes of cloth of silver. Miss Redhead, of South Shields, Miss Charlton, the bridegroom’s sister, and Miss Ethel Moss and Miss Lily Doughty, cousins of the bride, were the bridesmaids. They wore dresses of white strigged net over satin, the bodices being arranged with a crossing effect over chemisettes of fine lace. They all wore gold heart pendants, bearing the initials of the bride and groom, which were the latter’s gift to them. Colonel Walker was best man. Father Hawkins officiated the ceremony, and afterwards the happy pair drove to Waltham Hall, where a reception and banquet were held.

So Rowland Hugh Charlton & Ann Vere DOUGHTY get married in 1905 & go to live in Abbey Park Road, though where exactly is probably mentioned in the voters registers at Grimsby Central Library.
The Census of 1911, states the following for this family:

1911 England Census for Rowland Charlton
Lincolnshire Great Grimsby 02
Abbey Park Road, Grimsby a ten roomed house containing 8 persons.
Rowland CHARLTON, Head, Married, 30, Manager of Shipyard, Engineering & Shipbuilding Company, born Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
Ann CHARLTON, Wife, 29, Married, married for 5 years with 3 children all living, born Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
George CHARLTON, son, 4 years, born Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
Catherine CHARLTON, daughter, 3, born Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
Rowland CHARLTON, son, 9 months, born Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
Kathleen McGrath, servant, 21, Single, nurse for child, born Dublin, Ireland.
Emily Goodhand, servant, 21, Single, Housemaid, Born Moortown, Lincolnshire
Macella McGrath, servant, 17, single, General Servant, born Dublin, Ireland.

 So a family of 5 people, with 3 servants including a nurse for their youngest child Rowland Charlton.

As far as I can make out they remain in Abbey Park Road until around 1921, when they move to Elkington Hall, South Elkington near Louth.

A couple of advertisements in local newspapers would appear to verify this:

The Scotsman - Tuesday 08 March 1921
WANTED, an experienced Housemaid, to be first of three, not under 30.—Apply Mrs.. Charlton, Elkington Hall. Louth, Lincs.

Yorkshire Post and Leeds Intelligencer - Thursday 01 September 1921
WANTED, an experienced Housemaid, to be the first of three, not under 30.—Apply Mrs.. Charlton, Elkington Hall. Louth, Lincs,
However, Ann Vere CHARLTON nee DOUGHTY must have been suffering from an illness that required her to go to stay in Bournemouth, Hampshire because the Times Newspaper of July 22 1922 reported her death.

 The Times Saturday, Jul 22, 1922; pg. 1; Issue 43090; col A

CHARLTON: On the 19th July, at Bournemouth, Ann Vere, wife of Rowland Hugh Charlton, of Elkington Hall, Lincolnshire, and only daughter of the late Sir George Doughty, Kt.,J.P., M.P., and of Mrs. Doughty, of Grimsby aged 39 years.

The Telegraph, Saturday July 22, 1922, 

The late Mrs. Rowland Charlton

Funeral AT WALTHAM

TOUCHING TRIBUTES

The funeral of Mrs. Rowland Charlton, wife of Mr. Rowland H. Charlton of Elkiington Hall, and daughter of the late Sir George Doughty, M.P., took place today. The body was brought from Bournemouth, where she died, to Elkington by road, and a service was held there in the picturesque old church, of which the first official records date back to 1250. The coffin, of solid oak, was carried to the church by members of the Hall staff, and bore three beautiful floral tributes. They were a cross of lilies from Mr. R.H. Charlton, a wreath from the children (George, Catherine and John), and one from Maud and Wilfrid (Mr. and Mrs. W.V. Doughty)

THE MOURNERS

Immediately following the coffin were Mr. R.H. Charlton and his children, George, Catherine and John; Mr. & Mrs. W.V. Doughty, Mrs Chapman, Miss Tonge, Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Charlton, Admiral Radcliffe, Commander Regan, Lady Doughty, and Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester Stone.

It is a few minutes walk from the Hall to the church, which is pleasantly surrounded by trees, and many villages followed the coffin. The Church was filled with sympathisers, including the staff and local residents, Mr. Ben Stone, of Elkington, and Mr. and Mrs. W. Shephard being among them.

The Rev. C. W. Stanford (Rector of Elkington) conducted the service, and the singing of "Peace, perfect Peace" by the boys and girls of the choir, was most moving. Miss Stone presided at the organ and played "O rest in the Lord", at the conclusion of the service.

AT WALTHAM CHURCH

From Elkington the cortege proceeded to Waltham where among those who attended the service were Mrs. F. Moss, and the Misses Moss, Mr. and Mrs. C. Doughty, Mr. and Mrs. H. Doughty, Mrs. J.H. Doughty, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Bacon, Mrs. Leigh, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Doughty; Mr Douglas (Manager), Mr. Penney and Mr. Brodrick, (Messrs Charlton & Co), Mr. T. Mountain, Mr. and Mrs. H. L. White, Mr. J. Hobbs, Mr. Bert Hobbs, and Mr. Linsley (Hobbs, Linsley and Co), Mr. G.F. Goddard, Major Buckley, Mr. H. Haagensen, Mr. G. L. Alward, Mr. J. Garvey and Father Feskens.

The mourners filed into the church between two lines of little girls from St. Anthony's Orphanage, in charge of two sisters. They all wore white frocks with black sashes, and carried flowers.

The Rev. W. Horn (Rector of Waltham), the Rev Canon Markham (Vicar of Grimsby), and the Rev. C. W. Stanford, all took part in the service, and the Rev. A. R. Tucker of North Thoresby, was with them. The service was also attended by a large number of local residents.

The last sad rites took place in the churchyard where the remains of Mrs. Charlton were placed in the vault where lay her father and mother. The vault had been lined with moss and roses. A fine tree spreads its boughs over the spot, and birds were singing when the Rev. W. Horn pronounced the last words of comfort to the mourners.
