THE FROGGATTS OF BREWHOUSE YARD:AN EXTRA-PAROCHIAL PLACE ADJOINING NOTTINGHAM CITY(1797 – 1835)Hannah Froggatt 1775-1852Hannah Froggatt was baptised in Wirksworth on 13 September 1775:
Hannah married Samuel GODKIN at Papplewick St James (north of Nottingham) on 10 November 1794:
From the parish baptism records indexed on the IGI and the 1841 census, Hannah and Samuel had 5 children:
Note that the record for Elizabeth has her mother's name as "Ann" and father Samuel, but as the baptism was at Papplewick it is likely that this is the correct family. There are two Samuel Godkins listed in Pigot’s 1830 Directory, both at Narrow Marsh, one being a plumber and glazier, the other an Innkeeper at “The Loggerheads”. The 1841 census has Hannah (aged 65) living at Coalpit Lane, Nottingham, with a George GODKIN, aged 25, her son. There are two other George Godkins living in Nottingham in 1841, but both were born outside the county.
In the 1851 census Hannah is still living with son George, now at Vernon Terrace, The Park.
Death of HannahHannah died in Nottingham
in 1852 (Sep qtr 4b/171). The Children of Hannah and SamuelOf the five children of Hannah and Samuel, I can only find information for Samuel, Hannah and George. Samuel GODKIN 1797-1867Samuel was baptised 19 March 1797 at Papplewick, Notts. He married Elizabeth Hannah REDGATE at St Nicholas, Nottingham on 9 Jun 1821. Elizabeth was baptised in St Mary's Nottingham on 26 Jan 1801, the 4th child of John REDGATE and Hannah CARTLEDGE. Samuel and Elizabeth had 5 children. The first 3 were baptised in St Mary's and George was baptised in St Peters Nottingham. I cannot find a record for Sarah:
Samuel and Elizabeth are not in the 1841 census, but they are in the 1851 census at 6 Godling St. Samuel was working as a surveyor's assistant:
In 1861 Samuel was the Assistant Surveyor of Highways and living at Canal St:
Samuel died in Nottingham
in 1867, aged 70 (Dec qtr, 7b/158). Henry Redgate GODKINHenry Redgate is easily
found in the census and BDM records due to his middle name. They had two children:
In 1861 the family were at Glasshouse St, off Parliament St, Nottingham:
Henry died in 1866 (Mar
qtr Radford 7b/125).
Emma died in Nottingham
in 1905 (Mar qtr, Nottingham 7b/263). She was aged 71, and had been a
widow for 39 years. Her two children, Mary and George were still living
with her in 1901. Soon after Emma died, George married Jennie (Jane)
STAFFORD (Sep qtr 1906, Nottingham 7b/793). George was aged 45 and
Jennie was 28.
From the census records,
Mary was a dress and mantle maker, like her mother. George died in Nottingham
in 1936 (Sep qtr, 7b/425). Hannah GODKIN 1810-1861Hannah emigrated to Australia in 1841, on the ship "English", along with her future husband Edward ASLING and her cousin Samuel GODKIN. There is more information about Hannah here. George GODKIN 1816-George was born in about 1816 in Nottingham. He married Elizabeth OAKLEY in St Pauls, Nottingham on 17 June 1841. George and Elizabeth had 4 children:
In the 1851 census the family were living at Vernon Terrace (Back Road), which was on the northern boundary of The Park Estate, Nottingham. I cannot decipher George's occupation, but in 1861 he was a surveyor:
In 1861 they had moved to 39 George St, just off Parliament St:
Following the 1861 census the family vanishes from the records. Jane GODKINJane was born in Nottingham in about 1842. She is not in the BMD index under that name, although there is a birth for "Francis" in Mar qtr 1841 that would fit. Jane married Augustus
POOLE in 1858 in Nottingham (Dec qtr 7b/455). Jane was aged about 17
and Augustus 19. The 1861 census shows Augustus and Jane Poole living with Jane's parents at 36 George St (see above). It records that Augustus was born "On the sea near England". Later censuses record his place of birth as Carrington, Notts. In 1871 the Pooles were living at 21 Welbeck St, Nottingham:
I cannot find Augustus and family in later censuses. They are not in the 1881 or 1891 Canadian census. Back to Froggatt Family History Last updated: 18/08/2010 |
