Richard Doughty & Elizabeth HOLT had 15 children between them.
So perhaps I should now look at these 15 children and see what I can find out about them.
So their first child was John DUTY or Doughty, who according to Ancestry.co.uk is my my third great grandfather.
So perhaps I should now look at these 15 children and see what I can find out about them.
So their first child was John DUTY or Doughty, who according to Ancestry.co.uk is my my third great grandfather.
The record of John's christening is shown above:
Broughton by Brigg Parish Records-Baptisms (1802-1803)
So John's christening is the bottom one on the list above, which reads:
John, son of Richd Doughty Baptized 5th December 1802.
Whenever you read a Census entry for John Doughty, the records says he was born in Appleby, not Broughton by Brigg where he was christened.
So after his christening in Broughton by Brigg, he and his parents would have gone back to their home in Appleby.
The map below shows Appleby at the top of the map, with Broughton at the bottom, so Richard & his wife would have used the road connecting these two places called Ermine Street, a former Roman Road going from Lincoln to the Humber Estuary. I own this OS Map Explorer 281 , known as the Ancolme Valley.
The next record I have for John is his marriage to a lady called Ann Dales.
Marriage
16 June 1825 • Scremby, Lincolnshire
Marriages: 1825: No. 19:John Duty & Anne Dales, both of this parish were married in this church by banns on 16th June 1825, by me Henry Brackenbury in presence of William Coney & William Toynton.
The record in Lincstothepast states:
Number 19: John Duty, bachelor, of this parish in the County of Lincoln and Anne Dales of this parish in the County of Lincoln, were married in this church by banns on the 16th day of June 1825, in the presence of William Coney & William Boynton. Signed John Duty & Anne Dales her mark.
The marriage record doesnt say what sort of job John had, nor does it read that his surname was Doughty, but says it was Duty.
As you can see, the marriage took place in a village called Scremby, which according to Google Maps is about 52 miles south east of Broughton by Brigg, so John must have done quite a bit of travelling and changed jobs. I can't find much about him prior to his marriage.
Broughton where he was chistenened is to the top left, whereas Scremby is where the red blob is.
He and his wife Ann had 11 children, 5 sons, and 6 daughters.William, born 1826, Elizabeth, 1827, Marie 1828, Sarah, 1830, John, 1831, Thomas, 1833, Richard Robinson, 1837, Mary Ann, 1838, Uriah, 1844, & Deborah Holt, 1848.
My relative was their first born child, a son called William who was born in 1826-his christening record I found on Family Search:
Name:
William Doughty, Gender, Male, Christening Date: 14 Mar 1826, at
Scremby, Lincolnshire, ENGLAND, Father's Name:John Doughty, Mother's Name: Anne
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NG5G-HT5
He had a sister called Maria, who was born in 1828, and christened at St Peter & St Paul's Church, Scremby, Lincolnshire on 4th January 1829, according to England's Births & Christenings from Family Search.
Looking in the Census of 1851, where residents had to add to the Census Document the place where they were born, Maria, was in that year married and living in Great Grimsby, or Grimsby, in a street called King Edward Street, which was close to the Grimsby Docks.
The census record of 1851 states this:
61: King Edward Street,
Aaron SWABY, Married, 24, Farm Labourer, born Withern, Lincolnshire
Maria SWABY, Wife, 22, born Scremby, Lincolnshire
Thomas SWABY, son, 8 months, born Great Grimsby.
So now I discovered that Maria before Census day had married a man called Aaron SWABY, and they had had a baby boy born in 1850. So I looked on my Grimsby & Cleethorpes Marriage Index DVD which I purchased several years ago from Denise Light in Grimsby & discovered this record of a marriage between Maria & Aaron SWABY.
Grimsby St.James, Parish Church, on 15/05/1850, Aaron SWABY of full age, a Bachelor and a Labourer, living at Great Grimsby, son of James SWABY, a Labourer, & Maria DOUGHTY of full age, a Spinster, living at Great Grimsby, daughter of John DOUGHTY a Labourer, witnessed by Albert SWABY & Mary B????
I also looked in the 1841 Census and found an entry that showed that when she was about 12, she was living in Middle Rasen, Lincolnshire as a farm servant.
On the other hand, her husband Aaron SWABY was born in a place called Withern, Lincolnshire. Looking at Lincstothepast Website I found his christening and that of his brother Moses on the same day in Withern-
The record reads:
Withern Parish Records - Baptisms (1824-1826)
No. 92: 2nd July, 1824, Moses, son of James & Elizabeth SWABY, of Withern, Labourer, by W. L. SISSON, Minister.
No. 93: 2nd July, 1824, Aaron, son of James & Elizabeth SWABY, Withern, Labourer, by W.L. SISSON, Minister.
https://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/RecordDisplayTranscript.aspx?oid=513230&iid=139223
So looking at this couple of people, I found through Ancestry that between them they had 5 children, 4 sons & one daughter
The children were Thomas Swaby born 1 August 1850, Aaron Swaby born 2 November, 1851, George Swaby, born about 1853, Dinah Swaby born July 1856, and John Septimus Swaby born September 1859. All the children were born in Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
Then on 7 April, 1861, on the census of that year, Aaron Swaby & his family are all living in Chatteris, Cambridgeshire.
226: Gas ?
Aaron Swaby, Head, Married, 36, Gas Fitter, born Withern, Lincs
Maria SWABY, Wife, Married, 32, born Grimsby, Lincs.
Thomas SWABY, Son, 10, Scholar, born GT. Grimsby, Lincs
On the next page was the rest of the family entry.
Aaron SWABY, Son, 9, Scholar, Born Gt. Grimsby, Lincs
George SWABY, Son, 7, Scholar, Born Gt. Grimsby, Lincs.
Dinah SWABY, daughter, 4, Born Gt. Grimsby, Lincs
John SWABY, so,. 1, Born Gt. Grimsby Lincs.
So Aaron Swaby was now employed as a Gas Fitter.
In 1868, Aaron SWABY was assaulted, and the person who assualted him went to a court and received a fine as this newspaper entry stated from British Newspaper Archives.
Cambridge Chronicle and Journal - Saturday 08 August 1868
CHATTERIS PETTY SESSIONS Henry Remell. labourer. Chatteris, for assaulting Aaron Swaby, Chatteris, was fined £1 and £1 3s. 6d. costs.
Then 3 years later, according to the 1871 census, which was on 2nd April, 1871 Aaron SWABYwas manager of the Gas Works, with the family living in a street called Slade End on the census entry.
1871 census for Aaron Swaby & his wife Maria Swaby nee Doughty

Aaron SWABY, son, unmarried, 19, Grocer & Draper, (Apprentice), born Gt. Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
George SWABY, son, unmarried, 16, Engine Fitter (Apprentice), born Gt. Grimsby, Lincolnshire.

John SWABY, son, 11, Scholar, born Gt. Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/RecordDisplayTranscript.aspx?oid=724087&iid=551515
It would appear that for the first few years of married life, Richard & Elizabeth were living in Appleby, and only moved to Broughton in 1805.
The second forename Leaning, shown in Mary's name and below in a son called Leaning Doughty in 1826 rather odd for a forename more a surname. It was the maiden name of Elizabeth's mother, Mary Leaning.
Broughton by Brigg Parish Records-Baptisms (1802-1803)
So John's christening is the bottom one on the list above, which reads:
John, son of Richd Doughty Baptized 5th December 1802.
Whenever you read a Census entry for John Doughty, the records says he was born in Appleby, not Broughton by Brigg where he was christened.
So after his christening in Broughton by Brigg, he and his parents would have gone back to their home in Appleby.
The map below shows Appleby at the top of the map, with Broughton at the bottom, so Richard & his wife would have used the road connecting these two places called Ermine Street, a former Roman Road going from Lincoln to the Humber Estuary.

As you can see, the marriage took place in a village called Scremby, which according to Google Maps is about 52 miles south east of Broughton by Brigg, so John must have done quite a bit of travelling and changed jobs. I can't find much about him prior to his marriage.
Broughton where he was chistenened is to the top left, whereas Scremby is where the red blob is.
He and his wife Ann had 11 children, 5 sons, and 6 daughters.William, born 1826, Elizabeth, 1827, Marie 1828, Sarah, 1830, John, 1831, Thomas, 1833, Richard Robinson, 1837, Mary Ann, 1838, Uriah, 1844, & Deborah Holt, 1848.
My relative was their first born child, a son called William who was born in 1826-his christening record I found on Family Search:
Name:
William Doughty, Gender, Male, Christening Date: 14 Mar 1826, at
Scremby, Lincolnshire, ENGLAND, Father's Name:John Doughty, Mother's Name: Anne
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NG5G-HT5
He had a sister called Maria, who was born in 1828, and christened at St Peter & St Paul's Church, Scremby, Lincolnshire on 4th January 1829, according to England's Births & Christenings from Family Search.
Looking in the Census of 1851, where residents had to add to the Census Document the place where they were born, Maria, was in that year married and living in Great Grimsby, or Grimsby, in a street called King Edward Street, which was close to the Grimsby Docks.
The census record of 1851 states this:
Aaron SWABY, Married, 24, Farm Labourer, born Withern, Lincolnshire
Maria SWABY, Wife, 22, born Scremby, Lincolnshire
Thomas SWABY, son, 8 months, born Great Grimsby.
So now I discovered that Maria before Census day had married a man called Aaron SWABY, and they had had a baby boy born in 1850. So I looked on my Grimsby & Cleethorpes Marriage Index DVD which I purchased several years ago from Denise Light in Grimsby & discovered this record of a marriage between Maria & Aaron SWABY.
Grimsby St.James, Parish Church, on 15/05/1850, Aaron SWABY of full age, a Bachelor and a Labourer, living at Great Grimsby, son of James SWABY, a Labourer, & Maria DOUGHTY of full age, a Spinster, living at Great Grimsby, daughter of John DOUGHTY a Labourer, witnessed by Albert SWABY & Mary B????
I also looked in the 1841 Census and found an entry that showed that when she was about 12, she was living in Middle Rasen, Lincolnshire as a farm servant.
On the other hand, her husband Aaron SWABY was born in a place called Withern, Lincolnshire. Looking at Lincstothepast Website I found his christening and that of his brother Moses on the same day in Withern-
The record reads:
Withern Parish Records - Baptisms (1824-1826)
No. 92: 2nd July, 1824, Moses, son of James & Elizabeth SWABY, of Withern, Labourer, by W. L. SISSON, Minister.
No. 93: 2nd July, 1824, Aaron, son of James & Elizabeth SWABY, Withern, Labourer, by W.L. SISSON, Minister.
https://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/RecordDisplayTranscript.aspx?oid=513230&iid=139223
The children were Thomas Swaby born 1 August 1850, Aaron Swaby born 2 November, 1851, George Swaby, born about 1853, Dinah Swaby born July 1856, and John Septimus Swaby born September 1859. All the children were born in Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
Then on 7 April, 1861, on the census of that year, Aaron Swaby & his family are all living in Chatteris, Cambridgeshire.
Aaron Swaby, Head, Married, 36, Gas Fitter, born Withern, Lincs
Maria SWABY, Wife, Married, 32, born Grimsby, Lincs.
Thomas SWABY, Son, 10, Scholar, born GT. Grimsby, Lincs
On the next page was the rest of the family entry.
George SWABY, Son, 7, Scholar, Born Gt. Grimsby, Lincs.
Dinah SWABY, daughter, 4, Born Gt. Grimsby, Lincs
John SWABY, so,. 1, Born Gt. Grimsby Lincs.
So Aaron Swaby was now employed as a Gas Fitter.
In 1868, Aaron SWABY was assaulted, and the person who assualted him went to a court and received a fine as this newspaper entry stated from British Newspaper Archives.
Cambridge Chronicle and Journal - Saturday 08 August 1868
CHATTERIS PETTY SESSIONS Henry Remell. labourer. Chatteris, for assaulting Aaron Swaby, Chatteris, was fined £1 and £1 3s. 6d. costs.

Aaron SWABY, son, unmarried, 19, Grocer & Draper, (Apprentice), born Gt. Grimsby, Lincolnshire.

Diana SWABY, daughter, 14, Born Gt. Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
John SWABY, son, 11, Scholar, born Gt. Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
So most of the sons have jobs, 2 Apprentice Engine Fitters & 1 Grocer & Draper Apprentice.
Another newspaper entry for an Aaron Swaby, which in this case was the son of Aaron & Maria, the Grocer & Draper Apprentice states how he was injured whilst on a holiday break, if the person in the newspaper entry is the one in the family above:
Stamford Mercury - Friday 12 May 1871
Alford.—On Sunday morning a well-nigh fatal accident occurred on the farm of Mr. Calvert, at Tothill. The groom, youth named Aaron Swaby, in attempting to Jump a restive horse over a gate was thrown, and the animal fell upon him. He sustained a broken thigh and dislocated arm and wrist.
I think that this was the son of Aaron & Maria, because in the 1881 Census he is no longer a draper & grocer but a gas meter inspector. He married a person called Sarah BUTTON as this newspaper entry explains:
Stamford Mercury - Friday 04 January 1878
MARRIED: At Chatteris, on the 26th ult., Mr. Aaron Swaby, meter inspector, of Grimsby (son of Mr. Swaby, manager of the gasworks, Chatteris), to Miss S. Button, of the same place.
Note she was called Miss S. Button.

According to the census entries from 1881 to 1911, Aaron & Sarah remain at 18, Willingham Street, Grimsby, with Aaron as a Gas meter Inspector.
Then sometime in 1925, Sarah, his wife died, & despite looking at entries in the burial records at Ainslie Street & Scartho Road, Cemeteries I can't find an entry as to when she died.
However, then her husband, Aaron Swaby remarried as I found this entry on my DVD of Grimsby & Cleethorpes Marriages:
Aaron Swaby, son of Aaron SWABY & Maria SWABY nee DOUGHTY second marriage after the death of his first wife Sarah BUTTON

Ada his wife, whose maiden name was Slingsby, had also been married previously, she had married a George William Parkin at Thorne in Yorkshire in 1919, but he had died in 1927.
In the Census of 1939, they are both living on Commonside, isle of Axholme as this record states

Mary Leaning Duty, bp 5 February 1804 Appleby
It would appear that for the first few years of married life, Richard & Elizabeth were living in Appleby, and only moved to Broughton in 1805.
The second forename Leaning, shown in Mary's name and below in a son called Leaning Doughty in 1826 rather odd for a forename more a surname. It was the maiden name of Elizabeth's mother, Mary Leaning.

Ellen 1831. bn 21 May 1831, Broughton by Brigg Can't find her baptism.
So Richard & Elizabeth had 15 children, all but one survived infancy, which for those times was very good, so Richard had steady local employment. Most labourers in that time would have been re-hired annually, and might have to travel to where their occupation moved them too, but Richard & Elizabeth, judging by the place of baptism for all the children stayed in Broughton by Brigg, apart from their first 5 years of marriage. So by the time Ellen was born, John, their first born son was 29 years of age, married, with 3 children and living in Scremby, Lincolnshire, about 50 miles away.
The first recorded Census, the 1841, shows Richard & Elizabeth living in Broughton. The census record states that Richard was a labourer, known as Richard Dowty, with a wife Elizabeth & son Charles, who was 13 years of age. Martha Dowty is on the same page, aged 15, a servant with a family called Popple, Ellen is no where in the census of Broughton. It would appear that Richard still doesn't know how to spell his surname, but like many people then spelt it phonetically, so Dowty rather than Doughty.
Richard & Elizabeth are still alive 10 years later, still in Broughton, in 1851, described as a woodman, Charles, aged 23, is still at home with them, his occupation being an Agricultural labourer. Charles, by all accounts was quite small in stature, disabled slightly, a hunchback, according to a photograph I have of him, and a Methodist local preacher. Both Richard & Elizabeth continue together live in Broughton until 5th September 1855, when Richard Doughty dies, and is buried in the graveyard of the local church of St Nicholas, Broughton on 8 September 1855-the record states Number 767, Richard Doughty, of Broughton, age 73, September 8 1855, buried by C. Cotteril Officiating Minister.
http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/RecordDisplayTranscript.aspx?oid=598944&iid=100466
Elizabeth survived another 3 years before she died on 5th May 1858, buried in the same grave as that of Richard. I have been to the graveyard in Broughton, but all the stones have been removed, the graveyard is just grass, so I don't yet know if they had a stone or not yet.Perhaps at Scunthorpe library there is a record there of the gravestones inscriptions.
So let's have a look at what happened to these Doughty children :-
1. Mary Leaning Duty, bp 5 February 1804 Appleby
Appleby Baptisms and burials 1804
February 5th 1804, Mary Leaning daughter of Richard & Elizabeth Duty
https://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/RecordDisplayTranscript.aspx?oid=724087&iid=551515
So their first child was christened Mary Leaning, and the surname spelt by the parish clerk as DUTY when in fact the surname we know as DOUGHTY.
The next record we have for Mary Leaning is her marriage to William RADDISH, a farmer of Scotter:
Scotter Parish Records - Marriages (1834-1835)
Number 177:
William RADDISH, of this Parish, widower, & Mary DOUGHTY, (her mark) also of this parish, spinster, were married in this church by Licence on 4 December, 1835 by J H Pooley in presence of Maria Sharps & John Pincher Facinthorpe.
The record I found on the website Lincstothepast :
Baptisms 1812, William son of Richard & Elizabeth Doughty baptised April 12th.
The next record I found for William that proved it was the son of Richard Doughty was a marriage record which read:
1840 Marriage solemnized at the Parish Church in the Parish of Paddington in the County of Middlesex:
No. 159: May 10 1840, William DOUGHTY, of Full age, Brick Layer, Bachelor, of Church Place, son of Richard DOUGHTY, labourer & Elizabeth STOKES, of full age, widow, of Hamer Road, daughter of Thomas CARTWRIGHT, a Farmer were married in the Parish Church, after Banns, by A. K. LUDLOW, Curate, in presence of John KEMP & Jane Haden (her mark)
So this couple or their parents didn't record their marriage under the 1837 Registration of Marriages, Births & Deaths, because there isn't a record on that system of their marriage.
So William a bricklayer, married an Elizabeth STOKES, a widow, on March 5th, 1840, in St Pancras, Middlesex-the record showed me that it was the William DOUGHTY son of Richard & Elizabeth because it said he was a bricklayer, and that in 1840 he would have been 28 years of age.
I can't find a record of the Census of 1841 for William DOUGHTY & his wife.
The next record I found for William that proved it was the son of Richard Doughty was a marriage record which read:
1855 Marriage Solemnized at St Pancras Church in the Parish of St Pancras, in the County of Middlesex.
Number 164: March 5, William DOUGHTY, of full age, Widower, Bricklayer, living at Ferdinand Street, son of Richard DOUGHTY, Labourer & Mary Ann Etheridge, of full age, Spinster, living at Park Street, daughter of Matthew Etheridge, Dead, were married in the Parish Church by Banns, by R S Redfern, witnessed by John Brown & Sarah Ladlow & Mark.
So William Doughty's second wife was Mary Ann ETHERIDGE, who was a spinster when she married William, who unlike her was a widower. Her father Matthew Etheridge had died before her marriage, there is a record that says he died in 1843, and was buried in St Giles in the Fields, in London, E ngland.
So on this marriage record, William is shown as being a widower, so he must have been married prior to 1855, but his first wife died prior to 1855.
Then in the Census of 1861, William & his new wife Mary Ann are living in Bethnal Green, Middlesex as this record shows, with their son Thomas, a scholar.
1861 census for Thomas DOUGHTY, Middlesex, Bethnal Green, Green, District 1
55: 14 Bedford Terrace,
William DOUGHTY, Head, Married, 48, Bricklayer, born in Craighton, Lincolnshire
MaryAnn DOUGHTY, Wife, Married, 33, born Shoreditch, Middlesex
Thomas DOUGHTY, Son, 12, Scholar, born Shoreditch, Middlesex.
The age of Thomas suggests that he was born about 1849, in Shoreditch, Middlesex. So he was the son of William & his first wife Elizabeth Stokes (that was her married name as she was a widow, when she married William-her maiden name was Cartwright as the marriage record says she was the daughter of Thomas Cartwright, a farmer)
So looking on Free BMD I did a search by putting in the words, Thomas Doughty born between 1848 & 1850 in all districts, and this answer came up:
Doughty Thomas George Poplar 2 302: So I looked up what the registration District Poplar meant and this was the result:Middlesex: So that's the only one birth in London on Free BMD by the name of Thomas Doughty. However, looking on Ancestry there is a record of a Thomas George DOUGHTY but he was the child of Daniel Doughty & Emma Eliza Doughty, so that means that this is not the correct record. So his name wasn't Thomas George but just Thomas, so this record on Free BMD isn't Thomas Doughty's birth record.
The other piece of information that proves that the William Doughty who was son of Richard & Elizabeth was living in London as a bricklayer, with a wife & son Thomas, is the 1881 Census information.
1881 England Census for William Doughty, London St Pancras Regents Park District 15a
The census records reads:
245: William DOUGHTY, Head, Married, 68, Bricklayer, born Broughton, Lincs
Mary Ann DOUGHTY, Wife, Married, 58, born Shoreditch, Middlesex.
So this William says he was born in Broughton, in Lincolnshire, so he is the son of Richard & Elizabeth DOUGHTY.
But in the September quarter of 1881, William Doughty died leaving his wife without any money to live with.
In the census readings from 1855 when he married Mary Ann Etheridge, I can't see any other children on the census which suggests that he & Mary Ann didn't have any children at all apart from young Thomas who was born to William & his first wife Elizabeth Stokes, nee Cartwright. There are records to say that his widow Mary Ann Doughty had to go into the workhouse. I have found one record to say she died in 1907.
Meanwhile, Thomas DOUGHTY, who had become a bricklayer like his father William, moved to the Grimsby area maybe because in the 1870's Grimsby Docks were expanded and lots of building started to take place. Maybe also because the surname Doughty was well known in Grimsby, and some of Thomas's relatives were living in Grimsby.
As for Census entries Thomas is in the 1861 census & 1881 census, but not in the 1871 census.
The next record that we have for Thomas is his marriage to a lady called Lucy Pearson, who in the 1871 census is working and living in Cadney, Lincolnshire as a servant. Lucy was born in 1853 in North Kelsey, Lincolnshire, daughter of Edward Pearson & his wife Mary. In 1861, in census of that year she is living with her family in Wrawby, a village near Brigg. She had 5 siblings.

1881 England Census for Thomas & Lucy Doughty & family
Lincolnshire Wrawby District 11

Lucy DOUGHTY, wife, Married, 27, Born, North Kelsey, Lincolshire.
Lillie Agnes DOUGHTY, daughter, 3, born Brigg, Lincolnshire.
Edith DOUGHTY, daughter, 1, born Brigg, Lincolnshire.
In the 1901 census, Thomas DOUGHTY & his family are living in Crescent Street, Grimsby
Lincolnshire Great Grimsby District 11
Civil Parish, Great Grimsby, Ecclesiatical Parish, St James (part of), Borough of Grimsby, South West Ward,

Thomas DOUGHTY, Head, Married, 52, Bricklayer, Worker, born Shoreditch, London.
Lucy DOUGHTY, Wife, married, Born, North Kelsey, Lincolnshire.
2, Crescent Street,
Edith DOUGHTY, Daughter, Single, 21, born Wrawby, Lincolnshire
Albert DOUGHTY, son, Single, 11, born Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
The Census entry for Thomas Doughty & his wife Lucy & their 2 children, Edith & Albert, were at the bottom of the page and on top of the next page.
Both Crescent Street & Lord Street atr in the West Marsh Area of Grimsby.
Then sometime between 1891 and 1896, the family move from Crescent Street, to Weelsby Street, Grimsby, where there were a lot of terraced houses built by George Doughty's building company, so maybe Thomas Doughty was working for George Doughty's building company. We know that the family in 1896 was living in Weelsby Street, Grimsby, because on 28th December 1896, Lillie Agnes DOUGHTY, married John William Jewitt at
This record of the marriage is here:
At the Fisherman's & Sailor's Harbour of Refuge, Grimsby on 28/12/1896, John William Jewitt, 23, Telephone Fixer, 197, Weelsby St, son of John Jewitt married Lillie Agnes Doughty, 19, daughter of Thomas Doughty, 195, Weelsby Street, bricklayer. That marriage record I found on my CD of Grimsby & Cleethorpes Marriage Index, a CD produced from Marriage records at Grimsby Births, Marriages & Deaths pu together by the Grimsby Family History Society lead by Densise Light. Copies of this CD are still available by going to Denise Light's Website.
http://www.angelfire.com/de/delighted/index.html
So the Doughty family were living at 195, Weelsby Street & John William Jewitt at 197, Weelsby Street. He was 23 years of age and Lillie Agnes was 19 years of age.
In fact, John William Jewitt's father, named John Jewitt's wife Jane Elizabeth, died in 1891, so on Christmas Day, 1896, John Jewitt remarried as this record of marriage on myCD of Grimsby & Cleethorpes Marriages relates to.
At the Fisherman's & Sailor's Harbour of Refuge Grimsby on 25 December 1896 John JEWITT, 64, Widower, Cordwainer,195 Weelsby St.Grimsby son of John Jewitt, (deceased),Labourer married Mary Jane DIXON 44,Spinster,46 Lambert Rd. Grimsby daughter of Joseph DIXON, Merchants Clerk witnessed by John WENNEY & H.WESTON
So in 1901, according to the Census of that year, 5 years after her marriage to John William JEWITT, Lillie Agnes & her husband & family, the family are living in a house at the back of Kent Street, Grimsby as this record of the census shows:
1901 England Census for John JEWITT

38: Back of 134 Kent Street,
John JEWITT, Head, Married, 28, Corporation Labourer, a worker, born Grimsby, Lincolnshire

Willie JEWITT, Son,3, Born Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
Sydney JEWITT, Son, 2, Born Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
Edith JEWITT, daughter, 6 months, born Hull, Yorkshire.
So 10 years later, John JEWITT is still working for the Grimsby Council, on the census as a dustman.
1911 census for John W. JEWITT

8. Elsie May JEWITT, daughter, 5, School, Born Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
9. Ivy JEWITT, daughter, 3, At home, Born Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
Living in a house with 4 rooms, 9 people in the house.
In the 1911 Census, Thomas Doughty and his family are living in Lord Street, Great Grimsby.
1911 England Census for Edith DOUGHTY
Lincolnshire, Great Grimsby, 05
Thomas DOUGHTY, Father, 61, Married, 4 children born alive & living, Bricklayer, working at home, Born in London
Lucy DOUGHTY, Wife, 55, Married, born in North Kelsey, Lincolnshire
Lilly DOUGHTY, Daughter, 31, Married, No record of where born or county.
Edith DOUGHTY, Daughter, 31, Single, Household Work, at home, born Brigg, Lincolnshire.
Gertrude DOUGHTY, Daughter, 29, Married, No record of where born or county.
Albert DOUGHTY, Son, 21, Single, Ships Steward, No ship, born Great Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
Charles LITTLE, Nephew, 30, Single, Labourer, At home, Born Brigg, Lincolnshire.
The enumerator stated that in the house were 7 persons, 3 males & 4 females, 5 rooms in the house at 108, Lord Street, Great Grimsby. (Thomas Doughty signs record)
So Edith & Lilly in this census record were the same age, and the married daughters, Lilly & Gertrude, named with their maiden names, not their married names, and no place of birth nor county.
So am going to stay looking at the family of Lillie Agnes DOUGHTY and her husband John William JEWITT after that Census entry of 1911.
So the first child that was born to them on 31st November 1897, was a son which they named William Charles JEWITT-maybe William after Lillie's grandfather. So in the 1901 census, he is named Willie-the entry reads: Willie JEWITT, Son,3, Born Grimsby, Lincolnshire.In that year on the census they are living at a house back of 134, Kent Street, Grimsby, which runs parallel with Cleethorpes Road.
In the 1911 Census he is recorded as thus: 1. William C JEWITT, Son, 13, School, born Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
Their first child they named Violet L S, maybe it was Lillie who was born in the January quarter of 1919. In April, 1938 she married a Walter F. Shird who was born on 28th February 1917, information was on the 1939 Census, when he was living at 132, Lovett Street, Cleethorpes, working as an electrician., shown as being married, but his wife wasn't on the census record. So I can't find out much about either of them.
There is a burial record at Cleethorpes Cemetery, Trinity Road, Cleethorpes that lists the name of Walter F Shird.
ff.H31 Shird Ethel Maud 66 28 Feb 1957 05 Mar 1957 27196 Daubney St 159 Cleethorpes W.of Walter Shird
ff.H31 Shird Walter 74 03 Jul 1957 06 Jul 1957 27287 Daubney St 159 Cleethorpes Retired
Violet's sister was Joan F. Jewitt, who was born in Grimsby in January 1921, who married a John Crosley in January 1939.
I can't find out anything about this couple so far.
They had a brother called William D. Jewitt born 1923, but little is known about him.I have found a death for him in Ancestry that says he died in April 1929 so aged about 6 years.
In fact when he died on 10 April, 1929, he was 6 years old and playing in the Duke of York, Gardens, when a decayed flagpole fell over in the wind and killed him. I found 2 articles in the Yorkshire Post Newspaper in British Newspaper Archives that showed his death & an inquest into it.
Yorkshire Evening Post - Thursday 11 April 1929
William Jewitt. 6, who was struck by a flag pole blown down by the wind in the Duke of York Gardens, Grimsby, yesterday, died during the night in hospital.
An article in the Yorkshire Post in 1929 describes how he died:
Yorkshire Evening Post - Saturday 13 April 1929
A DECAYED FLAGPOLE. At a Grimsby inquest to-day on William Jewitt (6), who was killed while playing in the Duke of York garden by the fall of a 60ft. flagpole which broke in a gale, the jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death" expressed the opinion that the pole was decayed and had not been carefully inspected. It was stated that the father had lost a son, a sister and aunt in seven days.
William Jewitt's sister in the newspaper was Florence Rachel Lucy JEWITT, who died 8 April, 1929. She was the daughter of John William JEWITT and Lillie Agnes DOUGHTY.
They had another brother called Roy Jewitt, who was born on 17 October, 1927, and in the 1939 census is shown as being a child of 12 years, living at 188, Barcroft Street, Cleethorpes with his mother Lily who on the census is shown as being born in 1896 on the 15th December. Roy's father is still alive as his mother is shown as being married, not widowed. There is record of Roy's marriage in the October quarter of 1948, marrying a lady called Ursula Lina Marie Winter Unfotunately there is a record in Cleethorpes Cemetery Index of her death in 1950. The record reads:
Grave no. ff.J02, Name: Ursula Lina Marie JEWITT aged 24, died 18 September, 1950 & buried on 22 September 1950, record number, 25016. She and her husband lived at 141, Tiverton Street, Cleethorpes, where she died, as being the wife of Roy Jewitt, a fish porter.
Roy died 5th July 2003, aged 76.
The next child of Lillie Agnes & John JEWITT was another son called Sidney R. JEWITT, who was born 20th March, 1899, in Hull, East Riding, of Yorkshire.
In the 1911 Census he and his family are living at 18, Sixhills Street, Grimsby, with the record stating that he was born in Hull, Yorkshire. Then ext record I have of him was his marriage to Annie L. Nicholson in the April quarter of 1932 in Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
Then in the 1939 Census, this is the record:
1939 England and Wales Register for Sydney Jewitt
Lincolnshire (Parts of Lindsey) Grimsby CB TKCR
No. 347: 176, Convamore Road, Grimsby,
Sydney JEWITT, Male, born 20th March 1899, now married, Employed as a Transport Worker.
Annie L. JEWITT, Female, born 20th October, 1908, Married, doing unpaid domestic duties.
Graham JEWITT, male, born 22nd December, 1936, Single, Under School, Age
I have a record that states in the March quarter of 1978 he died in Northampton. His wife, Annie Louisa died December quarter 1994 in the Corby registration district.
The next child of Lillie Agnes & John JEWITT was Edith Gertrude JEWITT, born October quarter of 1900 in Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire. In the 1901 census she is living with the family at the rear of 134, Kent Street, Grimsby & 10 years later in the 1911 Census she is still with the family in Lord Street, Grimsby.
I can't find much about her apart from the fact that she died in Southwark, London on 30 June 1933 and was buried in Lincolnshire on 5 July 1933.
The next child was Lillie JEWITT, born 9 February, 1902 (birth record from 1939 Census). At the age of 17, in July, 1919, she married a Charles John Neale in Grimsby and they had a son called Frank, born 1 November 1924.
Her sister was Ivy JEWITT born 11 April 1907, in Grimsby either at the back of 134, Kent Street, where the family were in 1901, or 18 Sixhills Street where the family were in 1911, so only a birth certificate would show that.
The next record I have for her is her marriage to Thomas Frederick PATCHITT on 24 July 1934 as recorded on my marriage CD of Grimsby & Cleethorpes Marriages from Denise Light who has a website called http://www.angelfire.com/de/delighted/i ndex.html
At the Old Clee Parish Church, Grimsby on 24/07/34 Thomas Frederick PATCHITT, aged 34 a, boatman, living at , 123 Poplar Rd, Cleethorpes, son of TOM PATCHITT,, deceased, a fisherman, married Ivy JEWITT aged 27 , living at 38 Donington St, Grimsby, daughter of JOHN William JEWITT, a corporation worker, witnessed by ROBERT TYE, & VIOLET LILLIAN JEWITT
In fact her husband Thomas Frederick had been married before to a Laura Rachel MONTAGUE, he married her on 25 March, 1924 as this record states:
At St. Luke's Heneage Road, on 25/03/1924, PATCHITT, THOMAS FREDERICK, aged 23, a boatman, of 9 Robert St, Grimsby, son of TOM |PATCHITT, a fisherman, married MONTAGUE, LAURA, RACHEL, HELEN, aged 23 , of the same address daughter of GEORGE WILLIAM, MONTAGUE, a, fisherman, witnesed by ERNEST J. L. GIBBETT & MAY A. M. PATCHITT. So Thomas Frederick had sister or mother called May. So Laura Rachel PATCHITT must have died before her husband's second marriage, yes she died in October quarter of 1933, so her husband Thomas married a year later.
Looking for information about Thomas Frederick PATCHITT, I discovered on Ancestry that he was born 12th May 1900, in Grimsby, most likely in Newmarket Street, Grimsby which was connected with Alexandra Docks, by a bridge over the railway line between the Town Station & the Docks Station. Newmarket Street, crossed Freeman Street and went down to Albion Street. No doubt number 146 would have been between Freeman Street & Albion Street.
I also discovered that is where he was in the 1901 Census:
1901 Census for Thomas F. PATCHITT: Lincolnshire-Great Grimsby-District 06
No. 252: 146, Newmarket Street,
Tom Patchitt: Head, Married, 23, Labourer in …Factory, Worker, Born Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
Annie E. Patchitt, Wife, Married, 24, Born Kimberley, Nottinghamshire.
Thomas F. Patchitt, son, single, 10 months, born Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
Hubert Kirk, Boarder, single, 18, Labourer at a timber yard, worker, born Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
James Jaques, Boarder, single, 18, Labourer at a Saw mills, worker, born Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
His parents would have occupied a small house in the street and had two other men in the house paying to live there.
His father was called Tom, born 1878, and his mother was called Annie Eleanor Patchitt, nee Ledger, born in Kimberley, Nottinghamshire. His father Tom married his mother Annie Eleanor LEDGER at Grimsby St James Parish Church on 9th December 1899, so he was 21 by then.
The record on my CD states: St.James, Grimsby 09/12/1899 PATCHITT Tom & LEDGER Annie.
She was born in Kimberley, Nottinghamshire around 1877. Her father was called Frederick, so when she and Tom Patchitt had their first child together, maybe they named him after their fathers-hence the name Thomas Frederick PATCHITT.
So in that 1901 census, Annie Eleanor PATCHITT is shown as being 24years of age so born around 1877.
In fact Annie's father was Frederick LEDGER a draper, at least that was the name on her marriage record to Robert TYE, where as on her marriage record to Tom PATCHITT it says her father was Robert LEDGER.
I found a few newspaper articles about Tom Patchitt, father of Thomas Frederick, which reported on his financial situation & work.
Hull Daily Mail - Friday 24 August 1906
Tom Patchitt, fisherman, of 146, Newmarket street, has filed a petition in bankruptcy in bankruptcy.
Hull Daily Mail - Thursday 04 October 1906

His unsecured liabilities were £43 9e 7d, and there were no assets, and a friend had found the money to file his petition. Whilst at sea his furniture was sold, but only realised 14s Id.—Adjourned to the .November Court.
Thomas Frederick's grandfather, Thomas PATCHITT, married twice, his first wife was called Ann Maria HEADLAND, daughter of Charles HEADLAND, a tailor. She died in the April quarter of 1895 in Grimsby. I looked for her burial at Ainslie Street Cemetery but couldn't find it, nor at Scartho Road, Cemetery either. She and her husband Tom had 4 children, Fred in 1867, William in 1869/1870 & Walter in 1873 & Thomas in 1878.
Their son William died according to Ancestry in the April quarter 1876, which means April, May or June. I have a copy of the list of burials at Ainslie Street/Doughty Road. The list has columns with the the following headings:
This is an index of the names of the deceased only. The index is arranged as follows:-
Name of the deceased; Age (years/months);register and number of entry;date of burial.
According to my list of burials at Ainslie Street, in Grimsby, there is this record of a Patchitt burial:
PATCHETT, William, 7 2/6867 5 Jun 1876.
So William was buried at Ainslie Street/Doughty Road on 5th June, 1876.
Then after his first wife died his grandfather father Tom married for a second time to Mary Anne Mapplethorpe on 2 June, 1897 at the Primitive Methodist Chapel, Victoria Street, Grimsby.
The record states that she was a widow, and my CD states that she had been married before to a Robert ROSE. So her maiden name was Mapplethorpe or Maplethorpe, being the daughter of a William Maplethorpe or Mapplethorpe, who by the time of her second marriage was dead.
The record on my Grimsby Marriage CD states:
Primitive Methodist Chapel Victoria Street 02/06/1897 PATCHITT Thomas 55 Widower Dock Labourer 16 Lower Spring Street Grimsby William (decd) Farm Labourer ROSE Mary Ann 52 Widow Housekeeper 16 Lower Spring Street Grimsby William MAPPLETHORPE Farmer John William SCRIMSHAW Alice Jane ROSE
So one of the witnesses of their marriage was the daughter of Mary Anne Mapplethorpe and her first husband Robert ROSE.
In the 1911 Census, it states that Annie Eleanor & family were living at 355, Wellington Street, Grimsby.
There were 3 children at the house: Tommy PATCHITT, Cissie Mem PATCHITT & May Annie Maria PATCHITT.
Annie was aged 34, born in Kimberley, Nottinghamshire. Her husband Tom wasn't on the census entry.
I think the reason he wasn't on the census entry was because he was at sea as a fisherman.
Another newspaper article describes him at sea:
Hull Daily Mail - Tuesday 12 January 1915 THE GRIMSBY AND NORTH SEA TRAWLING CO., LTD., GRIMSBY. Trawler Chameleon: Collin Rodges (or G. Rodgers). captain; Evard Burmann, mate; Cornelius Batts (or Betts), chief engineer; Thomas Patchitt, second engineer; Geo. (or L.) Williamson, steward ; Sam F. G. Coles, third hand; Benjamin (or E.) Wilson, deck hand; Frank Hannaman, deck hand, and Edgard Boyce, trimmer.
There is a record I have of burials at Cleethorpes Cemetery, Trinity Road, Cleethorpes, which gives the burial & death records of Thomas Frederick PATCHITT & his wife Ivy PATCHITT nee JEWITT.
It gives the names of their children:
Grave number: bb.D06 Thomas Frederick Patchitt aged 65, died 23 Feb 1966, was buried on 01 Mar 1966, record number:29354, died at 54, Lister Rd , Grimsby, Cremated not buried, so ASHES
Grave number:bb.D07, Ivy Patchitt, aged 82, died 22 Feb 1990, was buried on 26 Feb 1990, record Number: 32783, died at 55, Duncombe Gardens, Grimsby, a Widow of Tom, and Mother of David, Brian, Chris, and Ronald.
So that's the end of the srory of the Jewitt children of Lillie Agnes Doughty & John Jewitt.
So now I am going to investigate Gertrude DOUGHTY, who on that 1911 Census states:
"Gertrude DOUGHTY, Daughter, 29, Married, No record of where born or county.
Gertrude was born in 1881 at Wrawby, near Brigg, Lincolnshire-she was christened on 9 December 1881 at Wrawby, near Brigg, Lincolnshire.
So Gertrude was born at the end of 1881, so the next census that she is listed on is the 1891 Census, which states: 1891 England Census Thomas & Lucy Doughty & family.
Lincolnshire Great Grimsby District 3, Number 11 Railway Terrace .
Gertrude DOUGHTY, daughter, 9, School, born Brigg, Lincolnshire,
So in 1891, Gertrude was 9 years of age and at school, then 10 years later in 1901 Census,
Gertrude was at the address of a George Houlden MORLEY, as a visitor:. The entry states:
1901 England Census for Gertrude Doughty
Lincolnshire Great Grimsby District 11
No. 20: 32: Earl Street,
George Houlden MORLEY, Head, Married, 44, Fish Buyer, Worker, born Grimsby, Lincs.
Mary Elizabeth MORLEY, Wife, Married, 44, born Boston, Lincs.
Arthur Read MORLEY, Son, Single, 19, Fish Packer, Worker, born Grimsby, Lincs.
Edith Kate MORLEY, daughter, Single, 18, born Grimsby, Lincs.
Gertrude DOUGHTY, Visitor, Single, 19, Dressmaker, Worker, born Wrawby, Lincs.
Looking at my Grimsby & Cleethorpes Marriage CD I looked for a marriage record of George Houlden MORLEY I couldn't find a record, which wasn't surprising because he was married on 26 June 1880 to Martha Elizabeth READ at Drypool, Yorkshire.

Ellen 1831. bn 21 May 1831, Broughton by Brigg Can't find her baptism.
So Richard & Elizabeth had 15 children, all but one survived infancy, which for those times was very good, so Richard had steady local employment. Most labourers in that time would have been re-hired annually, and might have to travel to where their occupation moved them too, but Richard & Elizabeth, judging by the place of baptism for all the children stayed in Broughton by Brigg, apart from their first 5 years of marriage. So by the time Ellen was born, John, their first born son was 29 years of age, married, with 3 children and living in Scremby, Lincolnshire, about 50 miles away.
The first recorded Census, the 1841, shows Richard & Elizabeth living in Broughton. The census record states that Richard was a labourer, known as Richard Dowty, with a wife Elizabeth & son Charles, who was 13 years of age. Martha Dowty is on the same page, aged 15, a servant with a family called Popple, Ellen is no where in the census of Broughton. It would appear that Richard still doesn't know how to spell his surname, but like many people then spelt it phonetically, so Dowty rather than Doughty.
Richard & Elizabeth are still alive 10 years later, still in Broughton, in 1851, described as a woodman, Charles, aged 23, is still at home with them, his occupation being an Agricultural labourer. Charles, by all accounts was quite small in stature, disabled slightly, a hunchback, according to a photograph I have of him, and a Methodist local preacher. Both Richard & Elizabeth continue together live in Broughton until 5th September 1855, when Richard Doughty dies, and is buried in the graveyard of the local church of St Nicholas, Broughton on 8 September 1855-the record states Number 767, Richard Doughty, of Broughton, age 73, September 8 1855, buried by C. Cotteril Officiating Minister.
http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/RecordDisplayTranscript.aspx?oid=598944&iid=100466
Elizabeth survived another 3 years before she died on 5th May 1858, buried in the same grave as that of Richard. I have been to the graveyard in Broughton, but all the stones have been removed, the graveyard is just grass, so I don't yet know if they had a stone or not yet.Perhaps at Scunthorpe library there is a record there of the gravestones inscriptions.
So let's have a look at what happened to these Doughty children :-
1. Mary Leaning Duty, bp 5 February 1804 Appleby
Appleby Baptisms and burials 1804
February 5th 1804, Mary Leaning daughter of Richard & Elizabeth Duty
https://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/RecordDisplayTranscript.aspx?oid=724087&iid=551515
So their first child was christened Mary Leaning, and the surname spelt by the parish clerk as DUTY when in fact the surname we know as DOUGHTY.
The next record we have for Mary Leaning is her marriage to William RADDISH, a farmer of Scotter:

William RADDISH, of this Parish, widower, & Mary DOUGHTY, (her mark) also of this parish, spinster, were married in this church by Licence on 4 December, 1835 by J H Pooley in presence of Maria Sharps & John Pincher Facinthorpe.
The record I found on the website Lincstothepast :
https://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/RecordDisplayTranscript.aspx?oid=574852&iid=349289
So her husband William RADDISH had been previously married as he was a widower when he married Mary Leaning Doughty. The Census of 1851, shows that he was born in Walkeringham, in Nottinghamshire in 1789. William RADDISH married Charlotte WILLIAMSON on 6 December 1814 at Scotter Parish Church, Lincolnshire. I found the record of their marriage on the Lincstothepast website:

So Mary Leaning Doughty would have been 31 when she married William RADDISH in 1835, and her parents, Richard & Elizabeth Doughty also would have been alive, so no doubt they too would have attended the wedding.
In 1822, the Stamford Mercury confirmed that William RADDISH was a farmer then.
Stamford Mercury - Friday 17 May 1822

I looked for her & her husband & family in the 1841 Census, and here they are:-
Scotter: William RADDISH, aged 50, Farmer, not born in Lincolnshire (we know he was born in Walkeringham, Nottinghamshire),
Mary RADDISH, 35, born in Lincolnshire.
John RADDISH, 20, born in Lincolnshire.
so on that Census date which was on 6th June, 1841, Mary Raddish nee Doughty would have been heavily pregnant with her son Leaning RADDISH.
So Mary Leaning Doughty & William RADDISH had one son between them which they named Leaning RADDISH who was born in the July quarter of 1841 in Scotter, Lincolnshire, so after the Census of the that year. I did look on Lincstothepast for his christening but was unable to find it. The records there are for the Parish Church, but maybe William Raddish & his wife Mary Leaning Doughty went to church at the Methodist Church. so the only way to find out when he was born would be to send for his birth certificate, these are the details: Raddish, Leaning, Gainsbro Registration District, 14, 322.
I did look on the baptism records for Scotter Parish Church from 1835 to 1845 to see if there was a record of any RADDISH children being christened to the parents William RADDISH & his wife Mary Leaning RADDISH nee Doughty, but failed to find any.
Mary RADDISH, 35, born in Lincolnshire.
John RADDISH, 20, born in Lincolnshire.

In the 1851 census, there is this record:
1851 England Census for William RADDISH:
Lincolnshire: Scotter: 3a
Number 44: William RADDISH, Head, Widower, aged 62, Farmer of 50 acres, born in Walkeringham, Nottinghamshire.
John RADDISH, Son, Unmarried, aged 32, Farmer of 50 acres, born Scotter, Lincolnshire
Leaning RADDISH, son, Unmarried, 9, Scholar, born Scotter, Lincolnshire.
Elizabeth Mo? Servant, Unmarried, aged 24, House Servant, born Scotter, Lincolnshire.
So in 1851, Mary Leaning RADDISH nee Doughty has died. I found her burial on Lincstothepast.
Scotter Parish Records - Burials (1848-1849)
Number 712: Mary Leaning RADDISH, of Scotter, was buried 15 July, 1849 aged 45, buried by J H Pooley.

This a photograph of that entry
So in 1851, on the census day which was Sunday 30th March, 1851, young Leaning RADDISH, aged 9 is with his his father, now a widower, but still a farmer, and his step-brother John RADDISH, who was born in 1819, so 23 years older than young Leaning. His other half siblings, had all died, so he and John were the only children left of their father William.
It's quite difficult finding anything about John RADDISH, Leaning's half brother-there is this record of 1852:
So John as he was a farmer had the right to vote in the election of 1852.
I have searched for his marriage but found nothing nor a marriage so it makes me wonder if he emigrated somewhere.
Certainly 10 years later, in the 1861 census, Leaning RADDISH is still living with his father in Scotter, with a young female servant called Mary ALLISON. Here's the record:
Scotter: High Street:
William RADDISH, Head, Widower, aged 72, Retired Farmer, born Walkeringham, Nottinghamshire
Leaning RADDISH, son, unmarried, 20, Farmer's Son, Retired, born Scotter, Lincolnshire.
Mary ALLISON, servant, unmarried, 24, Housekeeper, born Scotter, Lincolnshire.
Mary ALLISON & Leaning RADDISH married in the December quarter of 1863, so that means, in October, November or December, probably in Scotter.
Mary was born in Scotter in 1836, and christened there as well as this record shows:
1. Baptism:
Scotter Parish Records - Baptisms (1836) Number 748: April 10, 1836, Mary, daughter of Thomas & Mary ALLISON, of Scotter, Tailor, by J. H. Pooley
Baptisms in 1808, Hannah daughter of Richard & Elizabeth Doughty Bapt' February 7th or 17th.
Quite a few other researchers say she was born on 18th February, 1808 and my record on my Family Tree Maker said February 25, 1808-again I cant find her in the census-my Family Tree Maker record states she died on 1858 in Gainsborough. Yest I can't find a record of her marriage or death.
Then her sister Maria, which the christening record above she was christened at Broughton by Brigg on 4 June 1810: So looking at Lincstothe past again, this is the record there:
https://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/RecordDisplayTranscript.aspx?oid=598083&iid=100281
Here are three photos of entry:

Mary ALLISON & Leaning RADDISH married in the December quarter of 1863, so that means, in October, November or December, probably in Scotter.
Mary was born in Scotter in 1836, and christened there as well as this record shows:
1. Baptism:
Scotter Parish Records - Baptisms (1836) Number 748: April 10, 1836, Mary, daughter of Thomas & Mary ALLISON, of Scotter, Tailor, by J. H. Pooley
Thomas ALLISON & Mary JOHNSON married in 1832 at Lincoln St Swithin, Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
Marriages 1832 at Lincoln St Swithin, Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
Number 358:
Thomas ALLISON, of this Parish Bachelor, & Mary JOHNSON, of this Parish, spinster, were married in this church by Licence, on 27 April, 1832, by G W S DICKSON, in presence of James JOHNSON & Mary AKRILL.
Thomas Allison signed the certificate & Mary JOHNSON her Mark.
https://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/RecordDisplayTranscript.aspx?oid=518482&iid=408783
Thomas Allison, Mary's father was born in 1813, in Scotter, Lincolnshire & christened at Scotter Parish Church on 18 June 1813. A record of this event was recorded in the Parish Records probably by the Parish Clerk-they can be found on the Lincstothe past website.
Thomas ALLISON, father of Mary ALLISON, wife of Leaning RADDISH baptism:
Scotter Parish Records - Baptisms (1813)

The record can be found here: https://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/RecordDisplayTranscript.aspx?oid=576528&iid=348860
His wife, Mary JOHNSON was christened at another church in a village not far away from Scotter called Broughton known as Broughton by Brigg, where Richard Doughty lived.
The record of her christening is here:
Broughton by Brigg Parish Records: Baptism of Mary JOHNSON wife of Thomas ALLISON
Broughton By Brigg Parish Records - Baptisms (1813)
Number 15: 15 August, 1813, Mary, daughter of James & Anne JOHNSON, of Broughton, Labourer, by D. G. Burton, Rector
https://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/RecordDisplayTranscript.aspx?oid=738518&iid=100291
So Mary Allison & Leaning RADDISH married at Scotter and between them had 3 children that we know survived.
Their first child was born in the January quarter of 1864, so that was in either January, February or March, 1864, well that's when her birth was recorded by her parents we assume. So with mum and dad Raddish getting married in the either October, November or December 1863, and then their first child being born either in January, February or March, 1864, Mary RADDISH must have been pregnant on her wedding day.
Their first child, Louisa's christening was not carried out at the Parish Church, so maybe then her parents worshipped at a non-conformist church.
In the 1871 census perhaps there is a clue as to which church this was:

Between 1805 & 1810 the next three children that Richard & Elizabeth had together were three daughters, first was Elizabeth born in 1805, then came Hannah in 1808, and then came Maria in 1810. I have found it very difficult to find out much about these three sisters all daughters of Richard & Elizabeth. With the first census being in 1841 which doesn't have much detail in it and the next being one in 1851, which at least gives the place where the person was born, makes searching much easier. Without finding a marriage record which gives the name of the father of the daughter, and without having any other person I can discover reseaerching these three daughters it's not easy to confirm if they married or not. I think some of the information might have come from Mark Doughty, from his aunt Rosetta Doughty who lived in Ulceby, Lincolnshire.
For example before I used Ancestry, I used Family Tree Maker, putting on it the information from Mark Doughty as regards these three girls. So for example when I look on my record on Family Tree Maker about Elizabeth Doughty, the daughter born in 1805, my record on Family Tree Maker says she was born on 18th October 1805 at Broughton-by Brigg in Lincolnshire, but when I looked on Lincstothepast for her christening and on Family Search, I found her christening said 6th October 1805.
The record on Lincstothepast is quite difficult to read: I discovered that if screen printed the entry, then opened the screenshot which I put on Dropbox, with Paint, the entry would show this as this:
Elizabeth's christening is the third from the bottom, a more detailed one shows this:
The record on Lincstothepast can be found here:
https://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/RecordDisplayTranscript.aspx?oid=598083&iid=100278
Richard & Elizabeth's third child was Elizabeth Doughty:
Looking on Family Search & Ancestry, the christening records are these:
England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975
Name:
Elizabeth Doughty, Gender:,Female, Christening Date:03 Nov 1805 Christening Date (Original):
03 NOV 1805, Christening Place: BROUGHTON BY BRIGG,LINCOLN,ENGLAND
Father's Name:, Richard Doughty , Mother's Name: Elizabeth
Name: Elizabeth Doughty Gender: Female, Baptism Date: 3 Nov 1805, Baptism Place: Broughton By Brigg,Lincoln,England, Father: Richard Doughty, Mother: Elizabeth
FHL Film Number: 421946
So Elizabeth, Hannah & Maria, could have been born Appleby, then with their parents as babies taken to Broughton by Brigg where they were christened. Apparently the records of their births & christenings were in the Family Bible owned at one time by Rosetta Doughty, Mark Doughty's aunt as explained above.
In my Family Tree Maker record I have the record that says that Elizabeth died in 1869 in Appleby, Lincolnshire. I did look on the burials for that place, on Lincstothepast, but couldn't a burial record of Elizabeth Doughty there.
Now for her sister Hannah, who was born in 1808, and christened 7 February, 1808, as this record on Lincstothepast shows:
Between 1805 & 1810 the next three children that Richard & Elizabeth had together were three daughters, first was Elizabeth born in 1805, then came Hannah in 1808, and then came Maria in 1810. I have found it very difficult to find out much about these three sisters all daughters of Richard & Elizabeth.

In my Family Tree Maker record I have the record that says that Elizabeth died in 1869 in Appleby, Lincolnshire. I did look on the burials for that place, on Lincstothepast, but couldn't a burial record of Elizabeth Doughty there.
Now for her sister Hannah, who was born in 1808, and christened 7 February, 1808, as this record on Lincstothepast shows:
Baptisms in 1808, Hannah daughter of Richard & Elizabeth Doughty Bapt' February 7th or 17th.
Quite a few other researchers say she was born on 18th February, 1808 and my record on my Family Tree Maker said February 25, 1808-again I cant find her in the census-my Family Tree Maker record states she died on 1858 in Gainsborough. Yest I can't find a record of her marriage or death.
Then her sister Maria, which the christening record above she was christened at Broughton by Brigg on 4 June 1810: So looking at Lincstothe past again, this is the record there:
https://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/RecordDisplayTranscript.aspx?oid=598083&iid=100281
Here are three photos of entry:
The Record Reads: Broughton by Brigg Parish Records
Baptisms in 1810
Baptisms in 1810
Maria, Daughter of Richard & Elizabeth Doughty, Baptised June 4th.
On my family tree maker I had her birth day as 25th May 1810 & her death as 1846, but no date.
So again she is a bit of a mystery like the other 2 daughters. I searched on Lincstothe past burials at Broughton by Brigg from 1846 to 1851, but no record of a Maria Doughty being buried there.
The next child of Richard & Elizabeth after the last three daughters was a son called William, who was born/christened in 8th April, 1812, he was christened on the 12th April, 1812 at Broughton by Brigg.

So again she is a bit of a mystery like the other 2 daughters. I searched on Lincstothe past burials at Broughton by Brigg from 1846 to 1851, but no record of a Maria Doughty being buried there.
The next child of Richard & Elizabeth after the last three daughters was a son called William, who was born/christened in 8th April, 1812, he was christened on the 12th April, 1812 at Broughton by Brigg.
The next record I found for William that proved it was the son of Richard Doughty was a marriage record which read:
1840 Marriage solemnized at the Parish Church in the Parish of Paddington in the County of Middlesex:
No. 159: May 10 1840, William DOUGHTY, of Full age, Brick Layer, Bachelor, of Church Place, son of Richard DOUGHTY, labourer & Elizabeth STOKES, of full age, widow, of Hamer Road, daughter of Thomas CARTWRIGHT, a Farmer were married in the Parish Church, after Banns, by A. K. LUDLOW, Curate, in presence of John KEMP & Jane Haden (her mark)
So this couple or their parents didn't record their marriage under the 1837 Registration of Marriages, Births & Deaths, because there isn't a record on that system of their marriage.
So William a bricklayer, married an Elizabeth STOKES, a widow, on March 5th, 1840, in St Pancras, Middlesex-the record showed me that it was the William DOUGHTY son of Richard & Elizabeth because it said he was a bricklayer, and that in 1840 he would have been 28 years of age.
I can't find a record of the Census of 1841 for William DOUGHTY & his wife.
The next record I found for William that proved it was the son of Richard Doughty was a marriage record which read:
1855 Marriage Solemnized at St Pancras Church in the Parish of St Pancras, in the County of Middlesex.
Number 164: March 5, William DOUGHTY, of full age, Widower, Bricklayer, living at Ferdinand Street, son of Richard DOUGHTY, Labourer & Mary Ann Etheridge, of full age, Spinster, living at Park Street, daughter of Matthew Etheridge, Dead, were married in the Parish Church by Banns, by R S Redfern, witnessed by John Brown & Sarah Ladlow & Mark.
So William Doughty's second wife was Mary Ann ETHERIDGE, who was a spinster when she married William, who unlike her was a widower. Her father Matthew Etheridge had died before her marriage, there is a record that says he died in 1843, and was buried in St Giles in the Fields, in London, E ngland.
So on this marriage record, William is shown as being a widower, so he must have been married prior to 1855, but his first wife died prior to 1855.
Then in the Census of 1861, William & his new wife Mary Ann are living in Bethnal Green, Middlesex as this record shows, with their son Thomas, a scholar.
1861 census for Thomas DOUGHTY, Middlesex, Bethnal Green, Green, District 1
William DOUGHTY, Head, Married, 48, Bricklayer, born in Craighton, Lincolnshire
MaryAnn DOUGHTY, Wife, Married, 33, born Shoreditch, Middlesex
Thomas DOUGHTY, Son, 12, Scholar, born Shoreditch, Middlesex.
The age of Thomas suggests that he was born about 1849, in Shoreditch, Middlesex. So he was the son of William & his first wife Elizabeth Stokes (that was her married name as she was a widow, when she married William-her maiden name was Cartwright as the marriage record says she was the daughter of Thomas Cartwright, a farmer)
So looking on Free BMD I did a search by putting in the words, Thomas Doughty born between 1848 & 1850 in all districts, and this answer came up:
Doughty Thomas George Poplar 2 302: So I looked up what the registration District Poplar meant and this was the result:Middlesex: So that's the only one birth in London on Free BMD by the name of Thomas Doughty. However, looking on Ancestry there is a record of a Thomas George DOUGHTY but he was the child of Daniel Doughty & Emma Eliza Doughty, so that means that this is not the correct record. So his name wasn't Thomas George but just Thomas, so this record on Free BMD isn't Thomas Doughty's birth record.
The other piece of information that proves that the William Doughty who was son of Richard & Elizabeth was living in London as a bricklayer, with a wife & son Thomas, is the 1881 Census information.
1881 England Census for William Doughty, London St Pancras Regents Park District 15a
The census records reads:
245: William DOUGHTY, Head, Married, 68, Bricklayer, born Broughton, Lincs
Mary Ann DOUGHTY, Wife, Married, 58, born Shoreditch, Middlesex.
So this William says he was born in Broughton, in Lincolnshire, so he is the son of Richard & Elizabeth DOUGHTY.
But in the September quarter of 1881, William Doughty died leaving his wife without any money to live with.
In the census readings from 1855 when he married Mary Ann Etheridge, I can't see any other children on the census which suggests that he & Mary Ann didn't have any children at all apart from young Thomas who was born to William & his first wife Elizabeth Stokes, nee Cartwright. There are records to say that his widow Mary Ann Doughty had to go into the workhouse. I have found one record to say she died in 1907.
Meanwhile, Thomas DOUGHTY, who had become a bricklayer like his father William, moved to the Grimsby area maybe because in the 1870's Grimsby Docks were expanded and lots of building started to take place. Maybe also because the surname Doughty was well known in Grimsby, and some of Thomas's relatives were living in Grimsby.
As for Census entries Thomas is in the 1861 census & 1881 census, but not in the 1871 census.
The next record that we have for Thomas is his marriage to a lady called Lucy Pearson, who in the 1871 census is working and living in Cadney, Lincolnshire as a servant. Lucy was born in 1853 in North Kelsey, Lincolnshire, daughter of Edward Pearson & his wife Mary. In 1861, in census of that year she is living with her family in Wrawby, a village near Brigg. She had 5 siblings.
1875 Marriage solemnized at the Parish Church in the Parish of Kirton in Lindsey, in the County of Lincoln.
No 26: December 25, 1875, Thomas DOUGHTY, Age 27, Bachelor, Bricklayer, living in Kirton on Lindsey, son of William DOUGHTY, Bricklayer &
Lucy PEARSON, 23, Spinster, Living in Kirton on Lindsey, daughter of Edward PEARSON, Labourer were married in the Parish Church, by Banns by me R. H. Charters, Vicar.
This marriage was solemnized between us: Thomas Doughty & Lucy Pearson, in presence of William DOUGHTY, & Mary Ann DOUGHTY x her mark.
Date of Certificate 14 February 2020, MXH 819557
So the marriage certificate which I sent for on 14 February, 2020, shows that Thomas DOUGHTY was aged 27 when he married Lucy PEARSON, so as the date of the marriage was 25 December 1875, then he was born in 1848.

Gertrude DOUGHTY, daughter, 9, School, born Brigg, Lincolnshire,
Albert DOUGHTY, son, 1, Born Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
Edith is written on census entry as Edell.
So sometime between 1882 & 1890, Thomas & family have moved from Wrawby to Grimsby. Maybe that was because there was lots of building work going on in Grimsby then.One of the Doughty's there who was a builder had died in 1891, that was John Henry DOUGHTY, my great grandfather and his brother George Charles DOUGHTY , the Mayor of Grimsby and soon to be the MP for Grimsby, who had a building company and had been building lots of houses in Grimsby.
so 10 years later the family are still in Grimsby, in 1901.
so 10 years later the family are still in Grimsby, in 1901.
In the 1901 census, Thomas DOUGHTY & his family are living in Crescent Street, Grimsby
Lincolnshire Great Grimsby District 11
Civil Parish, Great Grimsby, Ecclesiatical Parish, St James (part of), Borough of Grimsby, South West Ward,

Edith DOUGHTY, Daughter, Single, 21, born Wrawby, Lincolnshire
Albert DOUGHTY, son, Single, 11, born Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
Both Crescent Street & Lord Street atr in the West Marsh Area of Grimsby.
Then sometime between 1891 and 1896, the family move from Crescent Street, to Weelsby Street, Grimsby, where there were a lot of terraced houses built by George Doughty's building company, so maybe Thomas Doughty was working for George Doughty's building company. We know that the family in 1896 was living in Weelsby Street, Grimsby, because on 28th December 1896, Lillie Agnes DOUGHTY, married John William Jewitt at
This record of the marriage is here:
At the Fisherman's & Sailor's Harbour of Refuge, Grimsby on 28/12/1896, John William Jewitt, 23, Telephone Fixer, 197, Weelsby St, son of John Jewitt married Lillie Agnes Doughty, 19, daughter of Thomas Doughty, 195, Weelsby Street, bricklayer. That marriage record I found on my CD of Grimsby & Cleethorpes Marriage Index, a CD produced from Marriage records at Grimsby Births, Marriages & Deaths pu together by the Grimsby Family History Society lead by Densise Light. Copies of this CD are still available by going to Denise Light's Website.
http://www.angelfire.com/de/delighted/index.html
So the Doughty family were living at 195, Weelsby Street & John William Jewitt at 197, Weelsby Street. He was 23 years of age and Lillie Agnes was 19 years of age.
In fact, John William Jewitt's father, named John Jewitt's wife Jane Elizabeth, died in 1891, so on Christmas Day, 1896, John Jewitt remarried as this record of marriage on myCD of Grimsby & Cleethorpes Marriages relates to.
At the Fisherman's & Sailor's Harbour of Refuge Grimsby on 25 December 1896 John JEWITT, 64, Widower, Cordwainer,195 Weelsby St.Grimsby son of John Jewitt, (deceased),Labourer married Mary Jane DIXON 44,Spinster,46 Lambert Rd. Grimsby daughter of Joseph DIXON, Merchants Clerk witnessed by John WENNEY & H.WESTON
So in 1901, according to the Census of that year, 5 years after her marriage to John William JEWITT, Lillie Agnes & her husband & family, the family are living in a house at the back of Kent Street, Grimsby as this record of the census shows:
1901 England Census for John JEWITT
Lincolnshire, Great Grimsby, District 27.
38: Back of 134 Kent Street,
John JEWITT, Head, Married, 28, Corporation Labourer, a worker, born Grimsby, Lincolnshire

Willie JEWITT, Son,3, Born Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
Sydney JEWITT, Son, 2, Born Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
Edith JEWITT, daughter, 6 months, born Hull, Yorkshire.
So by 1901, John & Lillie have 3 children, 2 sons, called Willie & Sydney & a daughter, called Edith. She was born in Hull, across the Humber Estuary from Grimsby.
So 10 years later, John JEWITT is still working for the Grimsby Council, on the census as a dustman.

In the 1911 Census, Thomas Doughty and his family are living in Lord Street, Great Grimsby.

The enumerator stated that in the house were 7 persons, 3 males & 4 females, 5 rooms in the house at 108, Lord Street, Great Grimsby. (Thomas Doughty signs record)
So am going to stay looking at the family of Lillie Agnes DOUGHTY and her husband John William JEWITT after that Census entry of 1911.
So the first child that was born to them on 31st November 1897, was a son which they named William Charles JEWITT-maybe William after Lillie's grandfather. So in the 1901 census, he is named Willie-the entry reads: Willie JEWITT, Son,3, Born Grimsby, Lincolnshire.In that year on the census they are living at a house back of 134, Kent Street, Grimsby, which runs parallel with Cleethorpes Road.
In the 1911 Census he is recorded as thus: 1. William C JEWITT, Son, 13, School, born Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
Their first child they named Violet L S, maybe it was Lillie who was born in the January quarter of 1919. In April, 1938 she married a Walter F. Shird who was born on 28th February 1917, information was on the 1939 Census, when he was living at 132, Lovett Street, Cleethorpes, working as an electrician., shown as being married, but his wife wasn't on the census record. So I can't find out much about either of them.
There is a burial record at Cleethorpes Cemetery, Trinity Road, Cleethorpes that lists the name of Walter F Shird.
ff.H31 Shird Ethel Maud 66 28 Feb 1957 05 Mar 1957 27196 Daubney St 159 Cleethorpes W.of Walter Shird
ff.H31 Shird Walter 74 03 Jul 1957 06 Jul 1957 27287 Daubney St 159 Cleethorpes Retired
This record states that Walter SHIRD died on 3rd July 1957, at his house at 159, Daubney Street, Cleethorpes aged 74, so born 1883, with his wife a person called Ethel Maud SHIRD, dying on 28 February, 1957, aged 66, so born 1891. So this is not the correct Walter F. Shird, because the Walter SHIRD who married Violet L S JEWITT was born 28 February 1917.
I can't find out anything about this couple so far.
They had a brother called William D. Jewitt born 1923, but little is known about him.I have found a death for him in Ancestry that says he died in April 1929 so aged about 6 years.
In fact when he died on 10 April, 1929, he was 6 years old and playing in the Duke of York, Gardens, when a decayed flagpole fell over in the wind and killed him. I found 2 articles in the Yorkshire Post Newspaper in British Newspaper Archives that showed his death & an inquest into it.
Yorkshire Evening Post - Thursday 11 April 1929
William Jewitt. 6, who was struck by a flag pole blown down by the wind in the Duke of York Gardens, Grimsby, yesterday, died during the night in hospital.
Yorkshire Evening Post - Saturday 13 April 1929
A DECAYED FLAGPOLE. At a Grimsby inquest to-day on William Jewitt (6), who was killed while playing in the Duke of York garden by the fall of a 60ft. flagpole which broke in a gale, the jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death" expressed the opinion that the pole was decayed and had not been carefully inspected. It was stated that the father had lost a son, a sister and aunt in seven days.
William Jewitt's sister in the newspaper was Florence Rachel Lucy JEWITT, who died 8 April, 1929. She was the daughter of John William JEWITT and Lillie Agnes DOUGHTY.
Grave no. ff.J02, Name: Ursula Lina Marie JEWITT aged 24, died 18 September, 1950 & buried on 22 September 1950, record number, 25016. She and her husband lived at 141, Tiverton Street, Cleethorpes, where she died, as being the wife of Roy Jewitt, a fish porter.
Roy died 5th July 2003, aged 76.
The next child of Lillie Agnes & John JEWITT was another son called Sidney R. JEWITT, who was born 20th March, 1899, in Hull, East Riding, of Yorkshire.
In the 1911 Census he and his family are living at 18, Sixhills Street, Grimsby, with the record stating that he was born in Hull, Yorkshire. Then ext record I have of him was his marriage to Annie L. Nicholson in the April quarter of 1932 in Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
Then in the 1939 Census, this is the record:
1939 England and Wales Register for Sydney Jewitt
Lincolnshire (Parts of Lindsey) Grimsby CB TKCR
No. 347: 176, Convamore Road, Grimsby,
Sydney JEWITT, Male, born 20th March 1899, now married, Employed as a Transport Worker.
Annie L. JEWITT, Female, born 20th October, 1908, Married, doing unpaid domestic duties.
Graham JEWITT, male, born 22nd December, 1936, Single, Under School, Age
I have a record that states in the March quarter of 1978 he died in Northampton. His wife, Annie Louisa died December quarter 1994 in the Corby registration district.
The next child of Lillie Agnes & John JEWITT was Edith Gertrude JEWITT, born October quarter of 1900 in Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire. In the 1901 census she is living with the family at the rear of 134, Kent Street, Grimsby & 10 years later in the 1911 Census she is still with the family in Lord Street, Grimsby.
I can't find much about her apart from the fact that she died in Southwark, London on 30 June 1933 and was buried in Lincolnshire on 5 July 1933.
The next child was Lillie JEWITT, born 9 February, 1902 (birth record from 1939 Census). At the age of 17, in July, 1919, she married a Charles John Neale in Grimsby and they had a son called Frank, born 1 November 1924.
Her sister was Ivy JEWITT born 11 April 1907, in Grimsby either at the back of 134, Kent Street, where the family were in 1901, or 18 Sixhills Street where the family were in 1911, so only a birth certificate would show that.
The next record I have for her is her marriage to Thomas Frederick PATCHITT on 24 July 1934 as recorded on my marriage CD of Grimsby & Cleethorpes Marriages from Denise Light who has a website called http://www.angelfire.com/de/delighted/i ndex.html
At the Old Clee Parish Church, Grimsby on 24/07/34 Thomas Frederick PATCHITT, aged 34 a, boatman, living at , 123 Poplar Rd, Cleethorpes, son of TOM PATCHITT,, deceased, a fisherman, married Ivy JEWITT aged 27 , living at 38 Donington St, Grimsby, daughter of JOHN William JEWITT, a corporation worker, witnessed by ROBERT TYE, & VIOLET LILLIAN JEWITT
In fact her husband Thomas Frederick had been married before to a Laura Rachel MONTAGUE, he married her on 25 March, 1924 as this record states:
At St. Luke's Heneage Road, on 25/03/1924, PATCHITT, THOMAS FREDERICK, aged 23, a boatman, of 9 Robert St, Grimsby, son of TOM |PATCHITT, a fisherman, married MONTAGUE, LAURA, RACHEL, HELEN, aged 23 , of the same address daughter of GEORGE WILLIAM, MONTAGUE, a, fisherman, witnesed by ERNEST J. L. GIBBETT & MAY A. M. PATCHITT. So Thomas Frederick had sister or mother called May. So Laura Rachel PATCHITT must have died before her husband's second marriage, yes she died in October quarter of 1933, so her husband Thomas married a year later.
Looking for information about Thomas Frederick PATCHITT, I discovered on Ancestry that he was born 12th May 1900, in Grimsby, most likely in Newmarket Street, Grimsby which was connected with Alexandra Docks, by a bridge over the railway line between the Town Station & the Docks Station. Newmarket Street, crossed Freeman Street and went down to Albion Street. No doubt number 146 would have been between Freeman Street & Albion Street.
I also discovered that is where he was in the 1901 Census:
1901 Census for Thomas F. PATCHITT: Lincolnshire-Great Grimsby-District 06
No. 252: 146, Newmarket Street,
Tom Patchitt: Head, Married, 23, Labourer in …Factory, Worker, Born Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
Annie E. Patchitt, Wife, Married, 24, Born Kimberley, Nottinghamshire.
Thomas F. Patchitt, son, single, 10 months, born Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
Hubert Kirk, Boarder, single, 18, Labourer at a timber yard, worker, born Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
James Jaques, Boarder, single, 18, Labourer at a Saw mills, worker, born Grimsby, Lincolnshire.
His parents would have occupied a small house in the street and had two other men in the house paying to live there.
The record on my CD states: St.James, Grimsby 09/12/1899 PATCHITT Tom & LEDGER Annie.
She was born in Kimberley, Nottinghamshire around 1877. Her father was called Frederick, so when she and Tom Patchitt had their first child together, maybe they named him after their fathers-hence the name Thomas Frederick PATCHITT.
So in that 1901 census, Annie Eleanor PATCHITT is shown as being 24years of age so born around 1877.
In fact Annie's father was Frederick LEDGER a draper, at least that was the name on her marriage record to Robert TYE, where as on her marriage record to Tom PATCHITT it says her father was Robert LEDGER.
I found a few newspaper articles about Tom Patchitt, father of Thomas Frederick, which reported on his financial situation & work.
Hull Daily Mail - Friday 24 August 1906
Tom Patchitt, fisherman, of 146, Newmarket street, has filed a petition in bankruptcy in bankruptcy.
Hull Daily Mail - Thursday 04 October 1906

Adjourned November. Sickness and Out of Work": This was set down the cause of the failure Tom Patchitt, fisherman, 146, Newmarket-street. His unsecured liabilities were £43 9e 7d, and there were no assets, and a friend had found the money to file his petition. Whilst at sea his furniture was sold, but only realised 14s Id.—Adjourned to the .November Court.
Thomas Frederick's grandfather, Thomas PATCHITT, married twice, his first wife was called Ann Maria HEADLAND, daughter of Charles HEADLAND, a tailor. She died in the April quarter of 1895 in Grimsby. I looked for her burial at Ainslie Street Cemetery but couldn't find it, nor at Scartho Road, Cemetery either. She and her husband Tom had 4 children, Fred in 1867, William in 1869/1870 & Walter in 1873 & Thomas in 1878.
Their son William died according to Ancestry in the April quarter 1876, which means April, May or June. I have a copy of the list of burials at Ainslie Street/Doughty Road. The list has columns with the the following headings:
This is an index of the names of the deceased only. The index is arranged as follows:-
Name of the deceased; Age (years/months);register and number of entry;date of burial.
According to my list of burials at Ainslie Street, in Grimsby, there is this record of a Patchitt burial:
PATCHETT, William, 7 2/6867 5 Jun 1876.
So William was buried at Ainslie Street/Doughty Road on 5th June, 1876.
Then after his first wife died his grandfather father Tom married for a second time to Mary Anne Mapplethorpe on 2 June, 1897 at the Primitive Methodist Chapel, Victoria Street, Grimsby.
The record states that she was a widow, and my CD states that she had been married before to a Robert ROSE. So her maiden name was Mapplethorpe or Maplethorpe, being the daughter of a William Maplethorpe or Mapplethorpe, who by the time of her second marriage was dead.
The record on my Grimsby Marriage CD states:
Primitive Methodist Chapel Victoria Street 02/06/1897 PATCHITT Thomas 55 Widower Dock Labourer 16 Lower Spring Street Grimsby William (decd) Farm Labourer ROSE Mary Ann 52 Widow Housekeeper 16 Lower Spring Street Grimsby William MAPPLETHORPE Farmer John William SCRIMSHAW Alice Jane ROSE
So one of the witnesses of their marriage was the daughter of Mary Anne Mapplethorpe and her first husband Robert ROSE.
In the 1911 Census, it states that Annie Eleanor & family were living at 355, Wellington Street, Grimsby.
There were 3 children at the house: Tommy PATCHITT, Cissie Mem PATCHITT & May Annie Maria PATCHITT.
Annie was aged 34, born in Kimberley, Nottinghamshire. Her husband Tom wasn't on the census entry.
I think the reason he wasn't on the census entry was because he was at sea as a fisherman.
Another newspaper article describes him at sea:
Hull Daily Mail - Tuesday 12 January 1915 THE GRIMSBY AND NORTH SEA TRAWLING CO., LTD., GRIMSBY. Trawler Chameleon: Collin Rodges (or G. Rodgers). captain; Evard Burmann, mate; Cornelius Batts (or Betts), chief engineer; Thomas Patchitt, second engineer; Geo. (or L.) Williamson, steward ; Sam F. G. Coles, third hand; Benjamin (or E.) Wilson, deck hand; Frank Hannaman, deck hand, and Edgard Boyce, trimmer.
So Thomas was Chief Engineer on board this trawler, which were steam powered.
Tom Patchitt died in the October quarter of 1928. So then his widow, Annie Eleanor PATCHITT nee LEDGER married for a second time.

Scunthorpe Evening Telegraph - Saturday 10 June 1939
NIGHT CRY ON BANKS OF THE TRENT CLEETHORPES MEN’S RESCUE EFFORT A CRY in the night which brought two Cleethorpes yachtsmen tumbling out of their bunks in a yacht moored in the River Trent, only to see a man being snatched away by the swift-running tide, was described at an inquiry conducted last night by Mr. G. E. Davy, Scunthorpe Coroner, into the death of a 60-year-old land-worker, Raymond Spencer, of Brickyard Cottages, Owston Ferry. The inquiry was held at the White Hart Hotel, Owston Ferry, just opposite which Spencer was said to have fallen into the river on Saturday night. His body was recovered near the same spot on Thursday. William Thomas Withers, a road foreman, of Market place, Owston Ferry, said that at 10.45 on Thursday he saw the body of a man floating the Trent and informed the police. P.c. Crick, stationed at Owston Ferry, said that at 11.45 on Saturday night last he received a telephone message from a Mr. Smith at Owston Ferry. He searched the river bank and found an impression on the grass. Spencer, he said, could easily have fallen in, for it was a dangerous place. He knew no reason why deceased should have thrown himself into the river, for he lead an ordinary, steady sort of life. BROTHER'S EVIDENCE The dead man’s brother, George Spencer, said his brother had lived with him all his life at Brickyard Cottages, about a mile from Owston. He had been normal in mind and body, and was active for a man of sixty, and had been "as happy as a king.” On Saturday night he went out as usual at about eight. He generally returned between 10 and 10.30, but witness was wakened in the night and told that his brother had not returned. On Thursday he identified the body brought out of the Trent as that of his brother. Witness added that the hot weather affected his brother, and gave him ‘‘dizzy do’s.” He thought he must have slipped into the river by accident. Mrs. Lily Snowden, who keeps a fish shop in Owston, said deceased, who was a regular customer of her's called at her shop on Saturday evening. He was talking about conscription when he left, and he said he had a cold he seemed quite well.
The first of the Cleethorpes yachtsmen to give evidence was Arthur Smith, of Grimsby-Road. He said he and his friend were at Owston on Saturday night in a motor-boat. At about 10 p.m., when the tide was turning, his friend was mooring the boat when he (witness) noticed a man lying on the bank. At 11.20 witness went into the cock-pit of the boat, and when there he heard the man on the bank cough, and remarked on the fact to his friend. . .. Later,” continued witness, I heard a splash and a cry.” . . ... Mr. Davy: ‘is it certain that cry came from that particular man- I have no doubt about it. . I rushed out,” continued witness, "and saw a man’s head above the water. He was going with the tide out of the river ". Mr. Tye (his friend) jumped into the boat and went after the man as quickly as it was possible. Before he could reach him, he was gone. °Witness reported the matter the police.
After summing up the evidence, Mr. Davy said his verdict would be that death was due drowning, deceased having accidentally fallen into the river. He, therefore, formally returned a verdict of death misadventure.
Getting dark at time : Mr. Robert Tye, of Poplar-avenue, Cleethorpes who was with the last witness on the motor-boat gave similar evidence. He said he did not see deceased after he got into the boat to try and save him. Deceased had gone under -within one to one and-a-half minutes. It was getting dark at the time. Dr. Macbeth said he knew deceased but he had some difficulty in identifying the body although he had no doubt that it was Spencer. Decomposition was very far advanced —more advanced than would have been expected considering the time the body had been in the water. This was probably to be accounted for by the warm weather during the last day or so.
Symptoms were compatible, he thought, with asphyxia due to drowning.
After summing up the evidence, Mr. Davy said his verdict would be that death was due to drowning, deceased having accidentally fallen into the river. He therefore, formally returned a verdict of death by misadventure.

DROWSY MAN’S FATE IN RIVER
Sank Before Rescuers Could Reach Him The theory that a man went to sleep on the Trent bank and rolled into the water and was drowned was advanced at the inquest at Owston Ferry last night, when a verdict of “Death by misadventure” was returned on Raymond Spencer (60), farm worker, of Brickyard-cottages, Owston Ferry. Spencer disappeared last Saturday night. He had been seen resting on the bank of the river after 10 p.m. at a spot where two Cleethorpes men in a yacht heard a splash and a shout. One of the men put out ln a boat, saw the man in the water, but he disappeared before the boat could reach him. Evidence of Identification was given by George Spencer, who said his brother was "as happy as a king" and could only suggest that he had dozed while resting on the bank and rolled into the water. At that spot the bank was very steep.
SPLASH AND SHOUT
Robert Tye, of Poplar-avenue, Cleethorpes. said he was almost asleep on the yacht when heard a splash and a shout. He got into a small boat and saw a man being carried downstream. Before he could reach him the man had disappeared. The whole Incident occupied less than two minutes and he thought that if the man could have kept up a few seconds longer he could have saved him. The coroner (Mr G. E. Davy) said it seemed clear that the man had been resting on the bank. He must have dozed off and rolled into the river. He pointed out how dangerous It was for anybody to go to sleep near such a treacherous river as the Trent. The coroner complimented Mr. Tye and his companion, Mr. Arthur Smith, of Grimsby-road, Cleethorpes, on their efforts to save Spencer.

The next record I have for Annie & her husband Robert TYE is the 1939 Census which was taken on 29th September, 1939.
So in 1934, Annie's father Frederick was dead, and her sister Florence who was born 5 years after her clearly went to live with her newly married sister as this 1939 census states.

His wife, Annie Eleanor TYE, nee LEDGER, and formally PATCHITT, died a year later in 1960, as the record at the cemetery states.
13 July 1960 • Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire, England
Grave Number bb.D06 Name Annie Eleanor Tye, aged 83, died 09 Jul 1960, buried on 13 Jul 1960, Burial Number:28113, home address 89, Poplar Rd Cleethorpes, Widow of Robert Tye.
Their son Thomas Frederick PATCHITT and his wife were also buried in the same cemettery, and in the same grave and anotther one close to it.
There is a record I have of burials at Cleethorpes Cemetery, Trinity Road, Cleethorpes, which gives the burial & death records of Thomas Frederick PATCHITT & his wife Ivy PATCHITT nee JEWITT.
It gives the names of their children:
Grave number: bb.D06 Thomas Frederick Patchitt aged 65, died 23 Feb 1966, was buried on 01 Mar 1966, record number:29354, died at 54, Lister Rd , Grimsby, Cremated not buried, so ASHES

So that's the end of the srory of the Jewitt children of Lillie Agnes Doughty & John Jewitt.
So now I am going to investigate Gertrude DOUGHTY, who on that 1911 Census states:
"Gertrude DOUGHTY, Daughter, 29, Married, No record of where born or county.
Gertrude was born in 1881 at Wrawby, near Brigg, Lincolnshire-she was christened on 9 December 1881 at Wrawby, near Brigg, Lincolnshire.
Wrawby Parish Records - Baptisms (1881-1882)
No. 1177: December 9th, 1881, Gertrude, daughter of Thomas & Lucy DOUGHTY, of Wrawby, Bricklayer, by J. N. Wart, Vicar.
I found this record by going to Lincstothepast.com Wrawby Parish Records at the record below.
https://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/RecordDisplayTranscript.aspx?oid=628623&iid=120410No. 1177: December 9th, 1881, Gertrude, daughter of Thomas & Lucy DOUGHTY, of Wrawby, Bricklayer, by J. N. Wart, Vicar.
I found this record by going to Lincstothepast.com Wrawby Parish Records at the record below.
So Gertrude was born at the end of 1881, so the next census that she is listed on is the 1891 Census, which states: 1891 England Census Thomas & Lucy Doughty & family.
Lincolnshire Great Grimsby District 3, Number 11 Railway Terrace .
Gertrude DOUGHTY, daughter, 9, School, born Brigg, Lincolnshire,
So in 1891, Gertrude was 9 years of age and at school, then 10 years later in 1901 Census,
Gertrude was at the address of a George Houlden MORLEY, as a visitor:. The entry states:
1901 England Census for Gertrude Doughty
Lincolnshire Great Grimsby District 11
No. 20: 32: Earl Street,
George Houlden MORLEY, Head, Married, 44, Fish Buyer, Worker, born Grimsby, Lincs.
Mary Elizabeth MORLEY, Wife, Married, 44, born Boston, Lincs.
Arthur Read MORLEY, Son, Single, 19, Fish Packer, Worker, born Grimsby, Lincs.
Edith Kate MORLEY, daughter, Single, 18, born Grimsby, Lincs.
Gertrude DOUGHTY, Visitor, Single, 19, Dressmaker, Worker, born Wrawby, Lincs.
Looking at my Grimsby & Cleethorpes Marriage CD I looked for a marriage record of George Houlden MORLEY I couldn't find a record, which wasn't surprising because he was married on 26 June 1880 to Martha Elizabeth READ at Drypool, Yorkshire.
Then I looked for the marriage record of Gertrude DOUGHTY and found this one:
Marriage of Arthur Read MORLEY to Gertrude DOUGHTY daughter of Thomas DOUGHTY, bricklayer.
St.James, Grimsby 08/04/1906 MORLEY Arthur Read 24 Bachelor DOUGHTY Gertrude 24 Spinster
So 5 years after she was a visitor at the MORLEY household in 1901, she married their eldest son Arthur READ MORLEY, named after the maiden name of his mother Mary Elizabeth READ.
According to the 1911 Census, which gives more information about this family:
1911 England Census for Gertrude Morley nee DOUGHTY
Lincolnshire Great Grimsby 11
Arthur Read MORLEY, Head, 29, Married, (6 years), 3 children born alive & still living, none dead, Fish Buyer, worker, born Grimsby, Lincs, British.
Gertrude MORLEY, 29, Married, born Brigg, Lincs. British
George MORLEY, Son, 5, born Grimsby, Lincs
Albert MORLEY, Son, 3, born Grimsby, Lincs.
Joshua MORLEY, Son, 3 months, born Grimsby, Lincs.
All living at 90, Alexandra Road, Grimsby, a house of 5 rooms with 5 people living it.
So by 1911, she and her husband had 3 sons, George, born 20 February 1906, (as the 1939 census states), Albert on 14 June, 1907 & Joshua on 19 December 1910.
So Gertrude & her husband Arthur Read Morley had their second son on 14 June, 1907; I found his marriage to Doreen SHAW on my marriage CD.
Old Clee Parish Church Grimsby 11/06/38, MORLEY ALBERT, 30, ship's steward, of 141 Lambert Rd, Grimsby, son of ARTHUR MORLEY, deceased fish checker married SHAW DOREEN, 23, of (63) Claremont Rd, daughter HAROLD SHAW, coal merchant, witnesses K. MORLEY & H. SHAW.
Their second son, Albert was born in 14 June 1907. Looking at my marriage CD, I found the marriage records of the other family members of Arthur Read MORLEY's family, siblings of his father George Houlden MORLEY.
For example, Arthur Read Morley's uncle or his father's brother, Joshua MORLEY, born about 1859, married Mary Elizabeth Alward.
Primitive Methodist Chapel Cleethorpe Road, 01/10/1884, MORLEY, Joshua, 25 Bachelor,Fish Salesman, Alexander Terrace New Clee, son of George Holden, Builder married ALWARD Mary Elizabeth,21, Spinster, Albert Terrace New Clee, father James, Smack Owner witnesses James ALWARD, Annie Lowe ALWARD
Looking at the census records for Joshua's wife in 1891, shows that Joshua died sometime between 1884 & 1891. I found his death record and probate:
National Probate Calendar for Joshua MORLEY:
MORLEY JOSHUA, Personal Estate £185 3s 1d. 24 December:

Mary Elizabeth ALWARD was the daughter as the marriage record states of James ALWARD, a smack owner, with their witnesses being James ALWARD & Annie Lowe ALWARD.
