JARRATT

The name of this family is occasionally also found under the much more common spelling of Jarrett, but the children of Martha Ellen (Jarratt) Blythe, three of whom bore Jarratt as a middle name, consistently spelled it with an A, and we have in our possession several original signatures of her son John Jarratt Blythe in which it is so spelled.
    Although Martha’s father, John Jarratt (1813?-1885), was born at Birmingham, co. Warwick, this man’s mother was from Lancashire, suggesting that the present family had come from somewhat further north, and may have had no relationship to the Jarratts of Birmingham.
    At the taking of the 1851 census, John Jarratt’s household included his mother, Mary Flemming. John’s marriage record is unfortunately of the type which does not supply the names of the fathers of the groom and bride, and no other indication of who his father may have been has come to light. The present notes previously accepted the premise that his mother had married by 1813 a man named Jarratt, who died before her “second” marriage to Thomas Flemming in May 1819. Based on evidence of her date of birth, it was clear that Mary could not have been married much before 1813, allowing a somewhat narrow window of opportunity for such a first marriage and the death of her first husband. Furthermore, there were two specific and quite serious problems with this theory, which we now regret having allowed to let stand after it had clearly become untenable:

1. The record of Mary’s marriage to Thomas Flemming in 1819 contains no suggestion that she was a widow, even though it clearly states that he was;
2. The record of the birth of Mary’s daughter Mary Ann Flemming in 1839 gives the mother’s maiden name as Mary Jarratt.

Upon further consideration, we have abandonned the assumption that Mary was ever married to a man named Jarratt, and accepted the implication that she must herself have been a Jarratt, and her son John illegimate. Indeed the latter’s grandson John Jarratt Blythe (1878-1942) is reported to have called him the “illegitimate son of a Scottish lord,” a suggestion we had long ignored because it seemed so implausible.^[1] The story — which, barring the discovery of an actual bastardy document, will probably never be confirmed or refuted — is unlikely to have come to John Jarratt Blythe directly from his grandfather, who died when he was scarcely seven years of age, and is more likely to have been communicated through his mother, Martha Ellen Jarratt, a decidedly eccentric woman who may have embellished the tale. Yet it possibly contains some grain of truth. While we are unwilling to endorse the claim of descent from a “Scottish lord,” the hypothesis of John Jarratt’s illegitimacy would accord with his mother’s birth at St. Helens, Lancashire, about 1795, where a girl of the right name was baptized in early 1796. Assuming that his mother’s age is at least reported correctly in the earliest censuses which record exact ages (1851 and 1861), this would place her birth between April 1794 and May 1795, which admittedly does not quite fit the baptismal record we would attribute to her. However, considering that Jarratt is an uncommon name and St. Helen’s a small place (with a population of only some 4,400 in 1801), we believe the record most probably belongs to her.
    We are still unable to explain, however, the rather enigmatic widow Ann Jarratt, a “relative” only about seven years older than Mary, and thus perhaps a sister-in-law, whose account we have placed before that of Mary.

Ann (____) Jarratt, a widow, born 1787-88 (aged 73 in 1861) at Crich, Derbyshire, is found as a “relative” in the houshold of John Jarratt, below, in the 1861 census of Brightside, Sheffield, no occupation being given for her.^[2] On chronological grounds, she may have been an aunt-by-marriage. We cannot find any clear match for this woman in previous census records.

1. Mary Jarratt, almost certainly the daughter of George Jarratt above, was evidently born in 1794-95 (she was aged 56 in 1851, 66 in 1861, and 73 in 1868) at St. Helens, Lancashire (per 1851 census), or at “Duckingfield, Lancashire”^[3] (per 1861 census), and died 25 November 1868, aged 73 years, of “old age,” at the home of her son John Jarratt, no. 146 Grimesthorpe Road, Brightside Bierlow, Sheffield.^[4]
    As “Mary Gerrard” she married (as his second wife) 3 May 1819 in the parish church of Aston-juxta-Birmingham, Warwickshire,^[5] Thomas Flemming, born 1786-91 (aged 65-69 in 1841), outside of Yorkshire, died in 1841-51. Her second husband is called a widower in their marriage record, while her own marital status is left blank, which by default should mean that she was previously unmarried. The youngest of their three children, their daughter Mary Ann, born at Phoenix Place, Oldham, Lancashire, in 1839, was the only one born after the beginning of civil registration of births, and it gives the mother’s maiden surname as Jarratt. Thomas Flemming is called a brick-maker in the record. Mary and her husband are found, with three children, at Brick Yard, Dewsbury, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, at the taking of the 1841 census, in which Thomas is again called a brick-maker; the head of the household was a William Fleming, born 1771-76 (aged 65-69), also born outside the country, who was perhaps an older brother to Thomas.^[6]
    As “Mary Flemming” she is found with John Jarratt and his wife, above, in the 1851 census, in which she is called his “mother,” and a widow, and her birthplace is given as “St. Ellens” (sic). While it is not unknown for census records indiscriminately to write “mother” for “mother-in-law,” she cannot have been mother to his wife Mary, as she had (by Thomas Flemming) a daughter named Mary Ann who was a different person. We dwell on this point because this is the only record we have discovered where Mary and her son John Jarratt are actually named together.
    As “Mary Fleming” she appears in the household of her daughter Ellen (Flemming) Globe on Powell Street (no house number given), St. George’s Ward, Sheffield, in the 1861 census.^[7] In her death record Mary is described as “widow of Thomas Flemming, brick maker,” and the informant was “Mary [Baxter] Jarratt, present at death, [of] 146 Grimesthorpe Road, Brightside Bierlow,” who made a mark in lieu of a signature. Known issue:

(by an unknown father:)

1. 2John Jarratt, born about 1813 at Birmingham, co. Warwick.

(by her husband:)

2. William Flemming, born 1825-26 (aged 15 in 1841) in Yorkshire (per the 1841 census). He was perhaps the William Fleming, aged 29 (implying a birthdate of 1821-22), born at Sheffield, who was living with wife Ruth (aged 33) and mother-in-law Martha Turner at no. 113 Upper Hoyle Street, Netherthorpe, Sheffield, at the taking of the 1861 census, being called a brick burner.^[8] The stated ages of these two men are not a good match, but as the one in the census clearly married an older woman, he may have exaggerated his age in an attempt to minimize the age difference.
3. Elena Flemming, born about 1834-35 (aged 5 in 1841, 27 in 1861) at Ecclesall, Yorkshire (per the 1861 census) or at Sheffield (per the 1881 census), living 1881. We have not found her in the 1851 census, when she was not living with her mother, and we have not found her in the 1891 census. She married in 1855 in the Worley registration district, in the West Riding of Yorkshire,^[9] William Globe, born 1827-28 (aged 33 in 1861) at Ecclesfield, near Sheffield, in the West Riding of Yorkshire (per 1861 census), living in 1872 (the earliest possible birthdate for his son John) but died by 3 April 1881, when his wife appears as a widown in the census. As previously noted, they appear on Powell Street (no house number given), St. George’s Ward, Sheffield, in the 1861 census, in which he is called a blacksmith, and at which time William Globe’s “mother-in-law” Mary Fleming was a member of their household. They appear at no. 94 Brightside Lane in the 1881 census, in which he is again called a blacksmith, and in which their surname is given as “Glob.”^[10] Ellen appears as a widow at no. 452 Brightside Lane, Brightside Bierlow, Sheffield, in the 1881 census, in which she is called a charwoman.^[11] Known issue:
   1. Tom Globe, born 1856-57 (aged 4 in 1861, 14 in 1871, 24 in 1881) at Kimberworth, a township in the parish of Rotherham, in the West Riding of Yorkshire (per the 1861 census) or at Sheffield (per the 1871 census) or at Thorpe Kisley [?], Yorkshire (per the 1881 census); still living unmarried with his widowed mother in 1881, when he is called a “smith’s striker” in the census. He is probably the Thomas Globe, aged 34 years and born at Rotherham, who is found with a wife and child at no. 7 Newark Street, Christchurch parish, Attercliffe-cum-Darnall, near Sheffield, in the 1881 census, in which he is called a railway engine driver.^[12]
   2. Mary Ann Globe, born probably in 1858 (aged 3 in 1861, 12 in 1871) at Sheffield, no longer living with her mother in 1881.
   3. Hannah Globe, born about September-October 1860 (aged 7 months on 7 April 1861) at Sheffield, presumably died young as she is not found in her parents’ household in 1871.
   4. George Globe, born 1869-70 (aged 1 in 1871, 11 in 1881) at Sheffield, attending school in 1881. He is probably the George Globe, aged 21 years and born at Sheffield, who appears as an unmarried man, lodging at no. 21 Griffin Road, in the St. Barnabas Ward, Sheffield, in the 1891 census, in which he is called a “steel …” (second word illegible).^[13]
   5. John Globe, born 1872-73 (aged 8 in 1881) at Sheffield, attending school in 1881.
4. (perhaps) Henry Flemming, baptized 16 October 1836 in the parish church of Saint Michael, Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire, as a child of Thomas and Mary Flemming (per IGI). If he belongs here, he must have died young, as he does not appear in this family in the 1841 census.
5. Mary Ann Flemming, born 5 May 1839 at Phoenix Place, Oldham, Lancashire.^[14] She is found as a child with her parents in the 1841 census, but is not found with them in 1851 and presumably died young.

2. John Jarratt, of Brightside, Ecclesall Bierlow (a suburb of Sheffield), in the West Riding of Yorkshire, illegitimate son of Mary Jarratt by an unknown father, was born probably in 1813, between April and November,^[15] at Birmingham, co. Warwick (now in the modern county of West Midlands), died 2 November 1885, aged 72 years, at Buckenham Street, Brightside, Ecclesall Bierlow, of “senile decay [and] paralysis, 14 days,”^[16] and was buried 5 November following in St. Thomas Anglican churchyard, Brightside, Sheffield.^[17] He married 27 April 1835 in the Cathedral of SS Peter and Paul, Sheffield, following publication of banns (neither the ages of the parties, nor their fathers’ names, being stated in the record), Mary Baxter, born ca. 1817 (aged 35 in 1851, 43 in 1861, 63 in 1881, 73 in 1891, and 83 at her death and burial in 1900) at Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, died 20 September 1900 at no. 4 Buckenham Street, East Brightside, of “senile decay,”^[18] and buried 24 September following in St. Thomas Anglican churchyard, Brightside, Sheffield.^[19] whom we presume to be identical with the Mary Baxter baptized 24 August 1817 in Mansfield parish church, daughter of Thomas and Anne (____) Baxter, of Mansfield. At the time of their marriage they were evidently resident in Sheffield, in the West Riding of Yorkshire. Neither could write their name, and both made a mark in lieu of a signature in the register; the witnesses were George Smedley and Rebecca Smedley, who have not been further identified.
    John Jarratt entered the same occupation as his step-father, from whom he perhaps learned the trade. He and his wife were living at Hoyle Street, Sheffield, at the taking of the 1841 census, in which he is called a brickmaker.^[20] He is also called a brickmaker at the baptisms of his daughter Ann in August 1841. They were living at Railway Terrace, Sheffield, at the taking of the 1851 census, in which he is again called a brickmaker; at the time, his widowed mother, Mary Flemming, was living with them.^[21] They are found at Carlisle Street East, Railway Terrace, in the 1861 census of Brightside, Sheffield, in which he is called a brickmaker; living in his household at the time was a “relative,” Ann Jarratt, aged 73 years.^[22] In 1868 “Mary Jarratt … [of] 146 Grimesthorpe Road, Brightside Bierlow,” witnessed (with a mark in lieu of a signature) the death of Mary (____) (Jarratt) Flemming, who died in her presence in her house. By 1870 they were living at no. 3 Ditchingham Street, Brightside, which is given as the address of their daughter Martha at her marriage in 1870, and where they appear in the 1871 census, which gives John’s occupation as “brick manufacturer.” At this time their married daughter Martha and the latter’s husband were still living with them, as well as their unmarried daughter Elizabeth.^[23] They were enumerated at no. 4 Buckenham Street in the 1881 census, in which John is called a retired brick manufacturer; living with them was their granddaughter, Elizabeth Purcell (daughter of their daughter Mary).^[24] At the time, their son James Jarratt was living at most two houses away, at no. 8 on the same street. John’s death certificate calls him a “brick manufacturer” (although he was perhaps retired by then), and names the informant as “Benjamin Sockett, son-in-law, 24 Verdon Street, Brightside Bierlow.” His widow, then described as “living on her own means,” was still residing at no. 4 Buckenham Street, with her grandchildren Henry and Annie Blythe, children of her daughter Martha (Jarratt) Blythe, in 1891.^[25] At the time, John and Martha (Jarratt) Blythe were living at no. 8 on the same street.^[26] In the certificate of her death, which was reported by “Anne Sockett, daughter, present at death” she is called “Mary Jarratt, widow of John Jarratt, brick manufacturer.”

1. James Jarratt, born 1836-37 (aged 4 in 1841, 14 in 1851, 24 in 1861, 44 in 1881) at Sheffield, died at 44 Burngreave Road shortly before 25 July 1884, when as James Jarett, brickmaker, aged 47 years, he was buried in grave no. 42, Section L3 of Burngreave Cemetery, Sheffield. He was still living with his parents in 1851. He married before 1858, Elizabeth Mary ____, born 1839-40 (aged 21 in 1861) at Sheffield, who died at 65 Ellesmere Road shortly before 26 August 1922, when as Elizabeth Mary Jarratt, widow, aged 82 years, she was buried with him. They are almost certainly the James Jarratt and Elizabeth Mary Stevens whose marriage was registered in the January-March quarter of 1856 in Ecclesall Bierlow.^[28] They are found with his family in the 1861 of Ecclesall Bierlow, Sheffield, in which he is called a filegrinder.^[29] James Jarratt served as a witness at his sister Martha’s wedding in 1870. He does not seem to be listed in Ancestry.com’s index to the 1871 or 1891 censuses of England. However, he was enumerated at no. 8 Buckenham Street, at most two doors away from, and probably next door to, his parents, in the 1881 census, in which he is called a road contractor.^[30] The similarity of names between his older children and those of his sister Ann will be noted.

As Frank Jarratt, a “silversmith’s manager,” aged 30 years, and born at Sheffield, he appears at no. 13 Milne’s Road, Norton Woodseats, Derbyshire, in the 1901 census, with wife Edith (aged 32, born at Kilnhurst, Yorkshire), and four children, Gladys P. (8), Dorothy C. (7), Audrey D. (4), and Colin F. (1), all born at Norton, Derbyshire.^[33] He married Edith ____, who died at 230 Albert Road shortly before 26 May 1920, when as Edith Jarratt, aged 53 years, wife of Frank, she was buried with her husband’s father. Their daughter Gladys P. Jarratt, spinster, aged 34 years, died at 230 Albert Road shortly before 21 January 1927, when she was buried with her mother.

He is probably the Benjamin Sockett whose death at the age of 69 years was registered in the Ecclesall Bierlow district in the January-March quarter of 1906.^[41] In 1881, when Ann is recorded as a “dressmaker” and Benjamin as a “labourer,” they were living at no. 174 South Street, Sheffield.^[42] They were of no. 24 Verdon Street, Brightside Bierlow, at the time of her father’s death in 1885.

They were enumerated at no. 17 Ditchingham Street, Brightside Bierlow, in the 1901 census, when he was a steel-caster.^[52] This was the very house which had been inhabited by his aunt, Elizabeth (Jarratt) Marsden, in 1881. He was however living at 130 Scott Road, Pitsmoor, Sheffield, at the time of his death, and his estate was proved 4 August 1925 at Wakefield by (his daughter) Florence Nock, wife of Henry Nock.

She married before 1863, Samuel Purcell, born 1839-40 (aged 31 in 1871) at Wellington, Shropshire, living 1871. Their marriage is evidenced by the appearance of their daughter with Mary’s parents in 1881, by which time it is possible they were both deceased. They are enumerated at Barber’s Cottage, Attercliffe cum Darnall, Yorkshire, in the 1871 census, in which Samuel is called a furnace-man.^[57] Only known child:

(By 1901 this house had passed to Samuel Harper and Annie Jarratt Blythe, aforesaid.) They were enumerated at no. 5 Gower Street, Brightside Bierlow, in 1901, when Herbert is called a self-employed tailor and woollen draper; their household then included a domestic servant.^[64] Like his brother Samuel they moved to Queensland, Australia; they were there by the birth of their son Lionel in June 1905.

Her husband was a forgeman. At the time of their marriage they were both single, and she was living with her parents; the witnesses were her brother James Jarratt and a Mary Purcell. John and Martha Ellen (Jarratt) Blythe appear to have spent most of their lives at Sheffield. Her 1911 will appoints as executor her “nephew Bernard Sockett, of 2 Haughton Road, Woodseats, in the City of Sheffield, solicitor’s clerk,” and is witnessed by “Florence Sockett, married woman” of the same address, presumably his wife.^[71] For details of their latter life and a record of their descendants see BLYTHE.

In 1881 they were living at no. 17 Ditchingham Street, Brightside Bierlow (the same street on which her parents were living a decade earlier), and he is called a “weighman”; their household included two “visitors,” Annie Picksley, aged 7, and Emma Picksley, aged 5.^[73] In 1891 they were living at 26 Hunsley Street, Brightside Bierlow, in which he appears to be called a “Siemans foreman”; their household at that time included her husband’s “niece,” Mary A. Oxley, aged 22 years.^[74] They were enumerated at no. 205 Abbeyfield Road, Brightside Bierlow, in the 1901 census, in which Harry is called the manager of a steel works; their household at that time included a domestic servant, and a “visitor,” Frederic[k] H.
