The Strettle Family
​
The Strettle ancestral line that has been verified in our family tree extends back over 400 years and for 11 generations..... In that time this branch of the Strettle family have lived in North Cheshire (for 150 or so years); South West Lancashire (70 years) and then Preston (190 years) – moving a fair distance for a “normal” family. The surname has commonly been spelt as both Strettle and Strettell over time and both spellings (and others!) have been found in the family tree. In the "pre-Preston" days the Strettles were primarily tenant farmers, the Preston era has seen the family primarily as manual workers.
The first real documentary evidence of the Strettell family as a dynasty is in Mobberley, Cheshire around 1600, although the origins of the family lie in Normandy with the supposed ancestral line traced back to Gilbert de Venables, a knight who arrived with the Conqueror in 1066 and who was created Baron of Kinderton and granted lands in Cheshire following the subjugation of the local populace. Our ancestral line is verified back to the early-17th Century “Mobberley Strettells”. Further researches are necessary to try to "prove" the link back to Norman times!
​
The “Origins of the Strettells” were originally researched by another Strettle descendant, Roland McLain Smith, who published a brief account which has been enhanced and expanded with further detail and can be viewed by using this link:

This is the story to date of "our" branch of the family:
(for ease of presentation I’ve adopted the “Strettle” spelling for all names)
Introductory Note: Throughout my research I have tried to ensure that I have correctly identified the ancestral line (working backwards in time) by finding multiple items of corroborating evidence to back up primary information sources - which have usually been Parish Registers. Such supporting evidence has been less in evidence when researching the earliest generations, and so the first two generations identified here must come with a limited "health warning" that there cannot be absolute certainty that these ARE our ancestors - for completeness I have included my Research Notes to provide additional background as to the evidence that they, in fact, are!
Hugh Strettle (b ???? d Mobberley 1628) is the "earliest presumed identified Strettle" in the family tree.
Hugh's birth date evidently preceded the earliest Parish Registers at Mobberley which commenced in 1578. He is first identified in Parish Registers at his marriage to Elizabeth Burgess at Rostherne on 10th November 1601. Hugh Strettill is recorded as being the owner of Blakeley Farm, Mobberley, in 1598 which he let to Thomas Burgess - there is no proven link between Thomas and Elizabeth Burgess, but both the Strettell and Burgess families were prominent in the Mobberley area at that time. There were 9 children christened at Mobberley between 1602 and 1623 with the father's name given as Hugh Strettell (presumed mother Elizabeth!) - the ancestral link being provided by Roger born in 1611. Hugh's residence was given as Ryley Wood in 2 of these christenings (including Roger's) and his son Hugh was living at Ryley Wood when he died in 1682 - Hugh snr did not leave a Will but it might be presumed that Hugh jnr eventually inherited the main family home. Hugh snr's eldest son Richard died in 1661 and appears to have had no wife or children - Hugh jnr was the next eldest son. Richard's Will positively identifies 3 siblings (Hugh jnr, Roger and Marie) - there are burial records at Mobberley which seem to account for the other potential siblings of the 9 christened 1602/1623. Roger's Will positively identifies Hugh as his father, so linking the family together.
Hugh's date of death is uncertain, although there was a Hugh Strettell buried at Mobberley on 19th March 1628, but we cannot be sure that this is "our" Hugh.
Elizabeth died in 1634, being buried at Mobberley on 23rd August 1634.

(this is Hugh (jnr) born 1606 died 1682)
Roger Strettle (b Ryley Wood 1611 d Mobberley 1677).
Roger was the 5th son of Hugh and Elizabeth. He was born at Ryley Wood (Mobberley) in 1611 and christened on 22nd Feb 1611 at Mobberley.
Roger married Ellen (date and details unknown) and they had 8 children between 1637 and 1653, all the children being christened at Mobberley, with the ancestral line being provided by Joseph, born in 1648.
Ellen died in 1670 and was buried at Mobberley on 13th Feb 1670.
Roger died in 1677 and was buried at Mobberley on 14th January 1677, being described in the Parish Register as a "householder". Roger made his Will on 4th January 1677 and made his major bequest to his eldest son John, with bequests to his other children including Joseph who was one of the executors along with his sister Hannah and brother-in-law Joseph Fodon. This Will is important in that it specifically names Hugh as the grandfather of Roger's daughter Elizabeth, providing conclusive evidence of the family lineage.
Joseph Strettle (b Mobberley 1648 d Weaverham 1727).
Joseph was the youngest son of Roger and Ellen, being christened at Mobberley on 9th April 1648.
He married Ann (or Hannah) Alexander on 5th December 1678 at Rostherne – the Marriage Licence identifies him as "of Mobberley" and Ann as "of Knutsford". Joseph and Ann had 9 children between 1680 and 1701, 2 of whom died in infancy. Their youngest child was Ephraim (b1701 in Hartford) - Ephraim appears to have been the family member who moved the Strettle family into SW Lancashire and who provides the ancestral line. Their first child, Alexander, was christened at Mobberley; all the other children were christened at Witton, with Joseph being described in the Parish Register as a Yeoman, of Hartford. It is not known whether the family were living at Hartford or Mobberley at the time of Alexander's birth - it is obviously possible that Joseph may have wanted his first son christened at the "family seat" regardless of where he was living. Alexander died in 1704 and was buried at Witton, his home being given as Hartford.
Ephraim's Christening entry in the Witton Parish Register
Joseph and his family next appear in the Parish Registers in Weaverham, these identifying their home location as Onston (a small village near Weaverham). Although there is only a short distance beteween Witton and Onston there must have been some reason for the family to move - the first instance of the family (living in Onston) in the Weaverham Registers was in 1711 (the christening of a child of Joseph's daughter, Anne), so it seems that the move was made in the first decade of the 18thC.
In 1723 Joseph Strettell of Onston is listed in the "Cheshire Oaths of Allegiance" (to the King).
Joseph died in 1727 and was buried at Weaverham on 19th December 1727, his occupation being given as a Yeoman - he was pre-deceased by his wife Anne who died in 1721 and was buried at Weaverham on 24th February 1721.
As mentioned above, some presumptions have been made in documenting the family history prior to Joseph and Ann - the main one being the identification of Joseph's ancestry - for completeness a summary of the Research Notes pertaining to Joseph and Ann and their antecedents are included:
​
Ephraim Strettle (b Hartford 1701 d Woolton 1757).
Ephraim was the youngest of Joseph’s 9 children and was christened on 4th November 1701 at Witton.
In 1723 Ephraim is listed in the "Cheshire Oaths of Allegiance" (to the King), living in Kingsley (a village close to Frodsham).
Ephraim married Martha Runcorn on 30th May 1743 at Great Budworth. He obtained a marriage bond on 28th May, in which Martha was described as a Spinster of the Parish of Runcorn – against a bond of £50 they were given permission to marry in either Runcorn or Warrington Parish Church or in the Chapel of Budworth Parish: they clearly chose Budworth and married there 2 days later, the parish register giving Martha’s home as Higher Runcorne.
Ephraim signed the marriage bond. At the time of his marriage Ephraim was living in Frodsham and his occupation was as a Malster (a brewer).
Martha, the daughter (and only child) of Samuel and Esther Runcorn, was born on 21st January 1726 and was christened on 10th February 1726 at All Saints, Runcorn. Samuel, at that time a Yeoman, made his Last Will and Testament on 22nd March 1740 and was clearly a man of some means - he bequeathed one of his properties, including furniture, specific belongings (and a cow) to his “dear wife Esther” along with an annuity of £5 per annum for the rest of her life. The remainder of his Estate, including “several closes or parcels of land in Runcorn”, more land in an unreadable place name and the lease of further land and a messuage (with tenants) in Runcorn to his only daughter Martha. Esther was charged with the “management guardianship” of Martha’s Estate either until she reached the age of 21 or until she was married, whichever happened first. Samuel’s executors were his wife Esther and his brother-in-law Roger Banks - he made his mark on the Will. Samuel’s Will was executed on 18th June 1741, and the inventory of his goods and chattels was valued at £40-8s. One can only assume that this bequest made Martha a very eligible young lady - under the terms of Samuel’s Will, Martha would have taken control of her “Estates” upon her marriage and, given, the social attitudes of the times this would presumably have made Ephraim an immediate landowner.
Esther died in 1747, and was buried in Runcorn on 29th May 1747 – the parish register describing her as “of Frodsham”, so it may be that Ephraim and Martha lived in Frodsham following their marriage, and Esther went to live with them.
Ephraim and Martha's first child, Mary, was christened at Frodsham in May 1744 (reinforcing the theory of the family living in Frodsham at that time). I have been unable to find any further record (in Parish Registers or otherwise) of Ephraim and Martha following this christening until 1754, with the christening of their son Samuel in Little Woolton, Liverpool (Samuel providing the ancestral line). A further son, William, is christened on 1st January 1758 but by this time Ephraim had died, as Martha had re-married on 26th October 1757 (to Thomas Seddon). The marriage bond had been signed on 21st October 1757 and names Martha as “Martha Strettels” a Widow of the Parish of Childwall – the parish register gives both Thomas and Martha’s address as Little Woolton.
The precise date and cause of Ephraim’s death is unknown, although he was buried at All Saints, Runcorn on 22nd July 1757 - named as "Abraham Strettle of Woolton" in the Parish Register. It can be presumed that Martha decided that Ephraim should be buried at the same location as her parents, and Runcorn is a relatively short distance across the River Mersey from Woolton (Liverpool) where they were living at the time of Ephraim's death.
Martha died in 1791 in Eccleston and was buried on 23rd October at St Mary's, Prescot.
There is a big question as to where Ephraim and Martha were in the period of time between their marriage in Gt Budworth 1743 and the christening of their son Samuel in Liverpool in 1754. There are a number of intriguing possibilities:
Ephraim and Martha (and family) are one of only two Strettle families known to be in SW Lancashire in the mid 18th Century (the other one was in Warrington), and in March 1765 a “Mary Strettall” (singlewoman) was ordered to be removed from West Derby to Prescot at the Lancashire Quarter Sessions - the reason for this being that she was “poor and about to become chargeable” (ie pregnant) and her illegitimate child, Thomas, was born in May 1765 - this Mary is clearly Ephraim and Martha's daughter. Thomas Strettle subsequently married a Martha Seddon at Walton-on-the-Hill in 1791 – Martha was born in 1767/68: could she have been an (unknown) daughter of Thomas Seddon and Martha Strettle? Although if this was the case then Thomas and Martha would have been half brother and sister!
There was also a Strettle family living in Eccles at this time….. and in 1751 a Mary Strettle married a Thomas Seddon in Eccles! Could this be the same Thomas Seddon who married Martha Strettle in Childwall a few years later? Two brothers, Thomas and William Seddon were christened at Walton-on-the Hill in the 1720’s – William’s daughter Martha was christened in West Derby in 1768 – could this be the Martha Seddon who married Thomas Strettle in 1791 (she would have been Thomas Seddon/Martha Strettle’s niece!).
Might Ephraim and Martha have been living in Eccles with the “other” Strettle’s following their marriage and have met the Seddons there? Martha certainly remarried very quickly following Ephraim’s death – if Thomas’s wife, Mary, had also just died it would have been quite natural for “in-laws” to marry to enable the continuance of family life.
All this is conjecture at the moment, but the interlinking of the Strettle and Seddon families seems highly coincidental - it is not impossible that this was what happened.
What can be said with certainty is that the vast majority of the Strettle’s that subsequently lived in Lancashire were descendants of Ephraim & Martha.
Samuel Strettle (b Little Woolton 1754 d Tarbock 1804).
Samuel was the eldest known son of Ephraim and Martha and was christened at All Saints, Childwall on 27th October 1754.
Samuel Strettle married Anne Ford at All Saints, Rainford on 6th July 1777, Anne being born in 1751. The Rainford parish registers describe Samuel as living at Whiston and Anne at Prescot. Samuel and Anne had 8 children including Thomas who provides the ancestral line – 2 of their children died in infancy.
At the time of making his Will, Samuel’s occupation is as a Farmer: there is no recorded history of farming in the immediately-preceding family history – Ephraim was a Malster at the time of his marriage (although Samuel's mother evidently inherited land rights from her father), Thomas Seddon was a Watchmaker at the time of his marriage, so Samuel seems to have broken new ground, and made a success of it.
Samuel made his Will (with Codicil) on 30th January 1804 – his Will was executed on 6th August 1804. In his will Samuel, a Farmer of Tarbock, nominates his son, James, and his half-brother, William Seddon, as his executors. Samuel bequeaths the “yearly interest, Use Rents and Profits” of his Estate and Effects to his wife Ann, provided that she remain a widow – if she re-married then the Estate would be shared equally among his children. He also made a specific bequest of £20 to his daughter.
Samuel makes his mark on the Will (interestingly, since his father, Ephraim, could clearly write –but Samuel would have been brought up by Thomas Seddon rather than Ephraim.)
This Will suggests that Samuel was a man of some substance, and the specific terms of the Will relating to the remarriage of his wife might point to some history of “lost legacy” following Ephraim’s death and Martha’s remarriage to Thomas Seddon.
It would appear that Samuel’s son Thomas was unhappy with the Will as originally written – on the same day (30th January 1804) Samuel added a Codicil to the will in which he bequeaths to Thomas “a Cart and Wheels and a Horse, and he to have his choice”, this bequest was over and above his share with the other children, Samuel having “given to my other children goods or money of the like value”.
It is clear that Samuel made his Will knowing that his end was near, as he was buried on 12th February 1804 at St Mary’s Prescot, described in the parish register as a Farmer of Whiston.
Anne died in 1839, aged 88, and was buried at St Michael’s, Huyton on 24th April 1839.
Thomas Strettle (b Whiston 1782 d Tarbock 1815).
Thomas was the 3rd son of Samuel and Ann, born on 19th June 1782 in Whiston and christened on 7th July 1782 at St Mary’s, Prescot. In April 1806 at the Lancashire Quarter Sessions an Order of filiation and maintenance of John, the bastard child of Thomas Strettle, husbandman, and Martha Prescott, singlewoman, the child born “about 5 months before”. Costs were awarded to cover the costs of the laying-in and costs to date (£1/15s), and ongoing maintenance costs of 2s/6d per week for Thomas and 3s/0d per week for Martha (in case she shall not take care of the child herself” - the child in question was born on 24th February 1806 and christened on 20th March 1806 at St Michael’s, Huyton, the parish register describing John as “the bastard son of Martha Prescott of Tarbock”.
It seems probable that Thomas and Martha were not overly-impressed with this maintenance order as they married less than 6 months later on 22nd September 1806 at St Michael’s, Huyton, and had 8 children in the period 1806 – 1815, including John, 3 of whom died in infancy. The ancestral link is provided by their son William, born in 1807.
Martha Prescott was born in 1780, the daughter of Joshua Prescott and Mary Hunt - the Prescott ancestral line going back to Joshua’s great-grandfather, John, and the Scarisbrick/Halsall area.
The records of the Molyneux Estate show that Thomas Strettle was a tenant farmer, paying an annual rental of £29 for land in Tarbock in 1815 (incidentally, Martha’s father, Joshua, was also a tenant of the Molyneux Estate, also having land in Tarbock).
Thomas died in 1815 and was buried at St Mary’s, Prescot on 25th December 1815 aged 33, leaving 5 children under the age of 10.
Martha died in 1829 and was buried at St Mary’s, Prescot on 4th May 1829 aged 47.
William Strettle (b Tarbock 1807 d Preston 1851).
William was born in 1807, the son of Thomas and Martha Strettle of Tarbock - the parish registers for St Michael’s, Huyton are missing for 1807, but William identified his birthplace as Tarbock in the 1851 Census (when living in Preston)…. Thomas and Martha were the only Strettle family living in Tarbock in 1807 and they had other children in 1806 and 1808 – additionally William named his first 2 children Martha and Thomas, so the evidence that William was the 2nd child of Thomas and Martha is compelling.
“Why did William move from Tarbock to Preston?”. When William’s father, Thomas, died in 1815 he left Martha with 5 children under the age of 10 to look after, and it is reasonable to assume that the older of the children would be sent to be looked after by (and contribute to) other branches of the family – particularly since the evidence from the Molyneux Estate records is that there were no Strettle’s farming in Tarbock in 1816. William was aged 8 when his father died – an age that would have seen him working in the fields at that time. For whatever reason William moved to Preston – in the 1851 Census he was employed as a Spindle Maker in a cotton mill, so it is unlikely that he moved the distance from Liverpool to Preston to pursue a career in adulthood – it is far more likely that he moved as a child.
So: “why would William have moved from Tarbock to Preston as a child?”. There was a Strettle family living in Preston in the late 18th century (William and Ann and their 3 children) – the first record of the family in Preston is at the marriage of William and Ann (nee Hardman) at St John’s in 1782, both “of this Parish”, with William’s occupation being as a Husbandman - William signed the register, Ann made her mark. It is self-evident that this William (and Ann, for that matter) must have come from somewhere given that there is no prior record of their birth in the Preston area, and there is compelling (circumstantial) evidence that "1782 William" was the son of Ephraim and Martha Strettle, born in 1758....... the parish registers of St Mary’s Prescot (the local church for the Strettles at that time) record the baptism of Ann Hardman at St Mary’s Prescot (the local church for the Strettles at that time) in 1767 – the daughter of John & Ann Hardman. William's mother was living in this area at this time (and, indeed, was buried at St Mary's Prescot in 1791!), so it is reasonable to assume that he was also living in the area. At the time of her death Ann Strettle (nee Hardman) was recorded as age 33 when she was buried in Preston in 1808 (= born 1765) so she is within range of Ann’s birth year in Prescot. William died in 1809 but unfortunately his age is not recorded in the parish register. The circumstantial evidence suggesting a link between the Liverpool-area Strettles and William in Preston in 1782 is very strong - Ann’s father was a Collier so it seems unlikely that William would have followed Ann to Preston to marry her, but maybe their families didn’t approve of their match and they eloped to Preston – that said, William and Ann married on April 1st 1782 and their son John was born on 29th September, so perhaps the explanation is a bit simpler! Also note that Ann’s father was named John and there are virtually no “John’s” in the Strettle family before William. Furthermore I am unable to find a matching Marriage or Burial entry for Ann Hardman in the Prescot area in subsequent years. The family moved to the Garstang area at some point before 1820 when their son, Samuel, married.... Samuel continued to live in the Garstang area until his death in 1874.
So, in following this proposition, "1782 William" would have been "Tarbock William's" great-uncle, albeit he had died before William's father died in 1815 – the "Garstang Strettles" would have been the cousins of "Tarbock William", so the family ties would have existed. It is worthwhile noting that the Molyneux Estates at the time stretched from Cheshire to north of Garstang, covering large swathes of the countryside, so maybe “Preston/Garstang William” was a Molyneux tenant or employee.
The first documented evidence of “Tarbock William” being in Preston is at his marriage to Alice Procter on 8th December 1831 at St John’s, Preston. William was aged 24 and Alice was aged 22, having been born in 1809. William and Alice were both described as being “of this Parish” in the St John’s parish register and they went on to have 9 children in the period 1832 – 1850, with Joseph (b1840) providing the ancestral link.
At the time of the 1841 Census the family is living in High St, Preston and William’s occupation is given as a Mechanic. At the time of the 1851 Census the family is living at 23 Great Shaw St and William’s occupation is given as a Spindle Maker, Alice’s occupation is as a Cotton Weaver and their 2 eldest sons are Labourers at Cotton Mill. There was a cotton mill sited at 4B Great Shaw St, which is likely to have been the family’s place of work.
This was the only Strettle family living in Preston at the time of the 1841 and 1851 Censuses.
William died on 8th June 1851 and was buried on 11th June 1851 at St Paul’s, Preston.
Alice died in 1853 and was buried on 13th March 1853, also at St Paul’s, Preston.
Joseph Strettle (b Preston 1840 d Preston 1918).
Joseph was the 5th of 9 children of William and Alice, and was christened at St John’s, Preston on 1st March 1840. He was 11 years old when William died and 13 when Alice died, so his eldest sister, Martha, appears to have assumed the head of the house role, Joseph’s eldest surviving brother Thomas also having died in 1851. Unsurprisingly Joseph lived with his parents at the time of the 1841 and 1851 Censuses, and was still living at 23 Great Shaw St at the time of the 1861 Census, the household (still the only Strettles in Preston) apparently still headed by his sister Martha.
Joseph married Catherine Pound at St Wilfrid’s RC Church, Preston on 20th January 1867. Catherine was a Catholic (up to this point in time, all the Strettle’s and their spouses and families had been CofE), the daughter of Patrick (b1797) and Mary (b1804) Pound who had emigrated from Ireland with their family in the 1840s, living first at 6 Back Lane, apparently running a lodging house. Catherine was born in 1836 in Ireland and at the time of the 1861 Census was living with her family at 2 Great Shaw St (the same street as Joseph Strettle!).
Joseph and Catherine had 5 children in the period 1868 – 1874, their eldest son William (b1869) providing the ancestral link, their daughter Mary was born in 1868, their twin daughters Sarah and Alice in 1871, and their youngest son Edward in 1874.
Joseph and Catherine and family were living at 3 Great Shaw St at the time of the 1871 Census (close to the Pound’s) – 3 of Catherine’s nieces Mary, Sarah and Kate Pound) were shown as living with Joseph and Catherine – Joseph’s occupation was as a Labourer in a Timber Yard, Catherine was a Cotton Weaver. 3 of Joseph’s siblings (Mary, William and Samuel) were also living in Great Shaw St at the time of the 1871 Census.
The twins both died before their first birthday - Sarah in 1871 and Alice in 1872.
At the time of the 1881 Census Joseph, Catherine and family were living at 169 Ellen St, along with the same 3 nieces as in 1871 plus a nephew (John Pound, a stonemason). Joseph’s occupation was as a General Labourer, Catherine was a Former Cotton Weaver. At that time Joseph’s siblings were resident at 24 Great Shaw St (William (b1846) (and family) and James (b1837)) and at 14 Cold Bath St (Mary (b1841) and Samuel (b1850)).
Catherine died in December 1887 and was buried in Preston Cemetery in the family grave apparently acquired when her son, Edward, died in 1884.
At the time of the 1891 Census Joseph was living at 16 Brackenbury St, along with his unmarried daughter Mary (who remained single until her death in August 1942) – his occupation was as a Labourer at Sawmill.
At the time of the 1901 Census Joseph was living at 2 Leighton St, still with his unmarried daughter Mary, and also his niece Mary Horrocks – his occupation was as a Wood Yard Labourer.
At the time of the 1911 Census Joseph was living at 261 Station Road, Bamber Bridge, still with his unmarried daughter Mary and his niece Mary Horrocks – his occupation was as a Caretaker.
Joseph died in September 1918 and was buried in Preston Cemetery.
Joseph, Catherine and 3 of their children were eventually all interred in the family grave at Preston Cemetery (along with their daughter-in-law, Elizabeth). It isn't known whether the infant twins Sarah and Alice are buried there.
The family grave plot in Preston Cemetery
NB: The Strettle Family of Newcastle-upon-Tyne mentioned on the headstone are great-grandchildren of Joseph and Catherine.
It can be seen that the headstone commemorates the family members interred in the plot, plus Joseph and Walburga, the parents of the Gregory and Peter Strettle (Monumental Masons) – the family members who moved to Newcastle - and Anne, the other deceased child of Joseph and Walburga at the time of the erection of the headstone.
William Strettle (b Preston 1869 d Preston 1951).
William was the 2nd of 5 children of Joseph and Catherine, but was the only one who married – his elder sister, Mary, remaining single until her death aged 74, his younger sisters Sarah and Alice both dying before their first birthday, and his younger brother, Edward, dying as a child aged 10. William would have been the first male Strettle child in the family tree to be baptised as a Catholic on 24th January 1869 at St Wilfrid's, Preston - although it is fairly certain that Joseph would have been baptised before his marriage to Catherine: there are no records of Joseph's baptism, but he was acting as a godparent at other baptisms. Unsurprisingly William lived with his parents at the time of the 1871 and 1881 Censuses, and was employed as an Errand Boy (aged 12) in 1881. For some unknown reason he was not enumerated in the 1891 Census.
William married Elizabeth Robinson on 17th January 1895 at English Martyrs, Preston – they had 6 children in the period 1895 – 1904, their son (Arthur (b1902) providing the ancestral link - their only daughter, Elizabeth, died in infancy. Arthur’s brothers were Joseph, Edward, William and Samuel.
Elizabeth was born on 11th September 1869 at 22 Paradise St, Preston – the daughter of William and Elizabeth Robinson (nee Gornall) – at least according to her Civil Birth Certificate. William’s occupation was given as a Cotton Spinner. Elizabeth (mother) made her mark when registering the birth on 22nd October (6 weeks after the birth!). Unfortunately there is no record of any marriage between a William Robinson and an Elizabeth Gornall in the preceding years. At her marriage in 1895 Elizabeth gave her father’s name as John Robinson, a Joiner!
In the 1871 Census 3 generations of Elizabeth’s family were living at 22 Paradise St:
John & Elizabeth Whittam; aged 53 and 54; and born in Preston and Lancaster respectively.
Elizabeth Robinson, aged 33, born in Preston, Single, described as “Daughter”; and
Elizabeth Robinson, aged 1, born in Preston, described as “Daughter”.
Elizabeth’s sister, Mary Ann Robinson was born on 31st July 1873 at 22 Paradise St, Preston – the daughter of Isaac and Elizabeth Robinson (nee Gornall) – according to her Civil Birth Certificate. Isaac’s occupation was given as a Carter. Mary Ann was baptised at St Augustine’s RC Church, Preston on 5th August 1873, her godmother being her grandmother Elizabeth Whittam, with “no father” entered in the parish register. Elizabeth (mother) made her mark when registering the birth on 10th September (6 weeks after the birth!). At her marriage in 1901 at English Martyrs (to James Crangle) Mary Ann gave her father’s name as Isaac Robinson. Mary Anne died in 1907.
It can only be wondered how Elizabeth (mother) explained to Elizabeth and Mary Ann why they had different fathers, both with the surname Robinson……..
At the time of their wedding William Strettle was living at 2 Leighton St and was employed as a Boiler Maker, and Elizabeth Robinson was living at 141 Victoria St and was employed as a Cotton Weaver – her father’s name was given as John Robinson, a Joiner, on both the civil registration certificate and in the parish register.
At the time of the 1901 Census William, Elizabeth and family were living at 175 Villier St, with William’s occupation given as a Boiler Rivetter.
William’s occupation was given as Boilermaker (Journeyman) on the civil registration birth certificates for both of his children Elizabeth and Arthur born in 1901 and 1902, the family still living at 175 Villier St. William signed Elizabeth’s registration; Elizabeth made her mark at Arthur’s registration.
At the time of the 1911 Census William, Elizabeth and family were living at 41 Brougham St, with William’s occupation given as a Boiler Rivetter.
Elizabeth Robinson pictured on the left aged approximately 17 years…
and pictured on the right in 1948 at a family wedding.
At some point in the early part of the 20th century William was involved in a serious accident at his work, and was left incapacitated for the rest of his life. He apparently had a strong aversion to having his photograph taken, and none are known to exist.
The Strettle brothers:
Edward; William; and Joseph circa 1914 Arthur circa 1923 Samuel circa 1945
Elizabeth died in November 1949 - William died in January 1951 and both are buried in the family grave (Joseph and Catherine’s) in Preston Cemetery.
Arthur Strettle (b Preston 1902 d Preston 1992).
Arthur was born at 175 Villier St, Preston on 2nd August 1902 one of 6 children William and Elizabeth - one sister, Elizabeth, who died in infancy; and 5 brothers.
Arthur’s main occupation throughout his life was as a Mental Nurse, first at Winwick Hospital, Warrington and later at Whittingham Hospital, Preston – in later life, following a series of illnesses, he was employed as a Mail Room Messenger at UKAEA at Salwick. He was a keen amateur sportsman throughout his life – playing football and cricket in his younger years and crown green bowls later in life.

Arthur married Alice Morgan on 25th June 1949 at St Augustine’s RC Church, Preston, he was living at 93 Senior St, and was employed as a Male Attendant at the Civic Hostel.
Arthur and Alice had a single daughter, Christine (b1950) and following their marriage they lived at 54 Oxford St, moving in later life to West Park Avenue, Ashton and, ultimately, Staveley Place, Ashton.

Arthur died on 8th March 1992, and Alice died 2nd November 2004 – both were cremated at Preston Crematorium, with Alice’s ashes being interred at St Mary’s, Euxton.
The Runcorn Connection
As described above, Ephraim Strettle married Martha Runcorn (of Runcorn) in 1743 - at that time Runcorn's importance was growing in line with the development of trade links via the River Mersey, and Martha's forebears seem to have been people of some significance locally, the notable families bring the Runcorns, the Parkers and the Brecks - these families being mentioned in numerous leases and other property documents dating from 1630.
Martha Runcorn's father (Samuel) and grandfather (William) were identified as Yeomen in these property leases, although William's occupation was given as a Carpenter in Parish Register entries. Samuel Runcorn was born in 1669 (the eldest of 7 children of William and Mary nee Cocker) and married Esther Parker in 1726 - his age at marriage therefore being 57, whilst Esther was 27. This probably explains why Martha was their only child! Samuel was mentioned in the record of "Runcorn Tyths" for 1710 as the farmer of Weston (jointly with Roger Banks, his brother-in-law). William Runcorn (who married Mary Cocker in 1668) "inherited" apparently significant property holdings in Runcorn in 1702 (which were passed on to Samuel in 1729) - the 1702 lease mentions the previous leaseholder as being Robert Runcorne, deceased, but the Parish Register entries unfortunately don't make the direct connection between Robert and William.
Esther Parker was born in 1699 - one of 7 children of Thomas and Phillippa (nee Breck) who married in 1691.
The "earliest identified Breck" is Thomas Breck - presumed to have been born in 1586. Thomas Breck married Anne Orred in 1632, with their 4 children being born between 1633 and 1640, the ancestral line being via his eldest son Thomas. Thomas snr was apparently a Royalist supporter during the Civil War..... in 1643 Thomas Breck made a loan to King Charles as described in a "Receipt for Money and Provision given to King Charles I during the Civil War" as follows:
​
The reverse of the Receipt is endorsed as follows:
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
Thomas Breck made his Will on 13th February 1654 - as per the endorsement of the Receipt as described above, he died on 14th February 1654 - the Parish Register transcript states that he was buried on 15th February 1655: on the basis of the Will and endorsement, it is assumed that the year is 1654 not 1655! In his Will Thomas beqeaths half of his "houldings and Tenement in Runcorne and Haulton" to each of his wife Anne and his son Thomas, and he makes further bequests to his daughter Ann and to his Godchildren: his brother Richard's two sons Samuel and Daniell.
His son, Thomas Breck, was born in 1633 and married Ann Cooper in 1665 - they had 9 children between 1666 and 1686, including their daughter Phillippa (born 1668) who married Thomas Parker in 1691. Thomas made his Will on 13th August 1687, died on 30th August and was buried on 2nd September. In his Will Thomas all his lands and Tenement in the care of his wife Ann until his only son, Thomas, reached the age of 21 (he was aged 6 at the time of Thomas's death) and bequeathed an equal share of his Goods, Chattels, Bonds and Bills to each of his 7 daughters. He made a further provision that "ye Interest of ye Twenty pounds left by my Father's uncle to ye Poor and Highways of Runcorn be paid yearly out of ye Profitts of my Lands for ever". Thomas appointed his wife and brother-in-law (Nathaniel Cooper, who married Thomas's sister Anna and was the cousin of Ann Cooper (who married Thomas Breck!!)) as his Executors and his Will's witnesses included Robert Cooper (Ann's brother) and Samuel Pickering, who may well have been Ann's nephew, as her sister Elizabeth married John Pickering (and Thomas Cooper (Ann's father) made a bequest to his grandson Samuel in his Will of 1663) - Samuel subsequently made bequests to all of Thomas and Ann's children in his own Will of 1711.
The Prescott Connection
As described above, Thomas Strettle married Martha Prescott (of Tarbock) in 1806 - the confirmed Prescott ancestral line going back to Martha's great-great-grandfather, John, and the Scarisbrick/Halsall area.
The "earliest identified Prescott" in the family tree is John Prescott (who may have been born in 1662 in Halsall, the son of Thomas - this to be more fully researched!) who married Margery Chanley at St Cuthbert's, Halsall in 1691, with whom he had 2 children in 1692 and 1694. John also fathered an illegitimate child, Gabriel, in 1693 - the mother of whom was Lydia Fazackerley (nee Barrow). At this time Lydia was a widow (whose husband (John Fazackerley) had died in 1689) - a mother of 4 children already. Gabriel was christened at St Cuthbert's, Halsall as Gabriel Fazackerley, his father being named as John Prescott of Scarisbrick. In 1694 Lydia Fazackerley petitioned the Lancashire Quarter Sessions seeking an order that the Overseers of the Poor of Halsall make an allowance for the support of the four small children left her by her husband John Fazakerley - this award was made. This seems an unusual situation, implying that the Overseers of the Poor had originally refused Lydia's petition - there is no record of any filiation or maintenance order being made against John Prescott, so perhaps John accepted his responsibilities toward Gabriel in this regard, and this may have influenced the Halsall Overseers. In any event, Gabriel appears to have used the Prescott surname throughout his life. Lydia died in 1707 and is buried in Halsall. John Prescott died in 1723 (still living in Scarisbrick) and was buried at SS Peter & Paul, Ormskirk. John outlived Gabriel (who died in 1720) and in his Will made bequests to his wife, Margery, and the children of his daughter, Anna - there is no mention of Gabriel or his family in John's Will!
Gabriel Prescott married Abigail Fairist at St Mary's, Walton-on-the-Hill (the adjacent Parish to Halsall) in 1715, and they had 4 children before Gabriel died in 1720 - Gabriel was buried at St Mary's, Walton-on-the-Hill. The ancestral link was provided by Gabriel and Abigail's eldest son, John, born in 1718. John Prescott married Rebecca Abbot at St Mary's, Prescot in 1741 and the family were living at Sutton, St Helens when their first son Joshua (Martha Prescott's father) was born in 1742, Joshua being baptised in St Helens. The other 8 children of John and Rebecca were born in Bold and christened at St Wilfrid's, Farnworth (Widnes) - John died in 1805 (living at Aughton) and Rebecca in 1794 (living in Simonswood): both were buried at St Chad's, Kirkby. Joshua Prescott married Mary Hunt at Rainford in 1763 and had 9 children, variously christened at Great Sankey, Huyton and Prescot - their youngest child, Martha, was born in 1780 and was christened at St Michael's, Huyton - Joshua was living in Kirkby at the time of his death in 1814 and was buried at St Mary's, Prescot.
There is a strong lineage of "Prescotts" in West Lancashire stretching from Halsall/Ormskirk to Standish and whilst the current "earliest confirmed Prescott" in our family tree is John (from Halsall), research continues to try to identify our ancestral links - it is known that John Prescott of Standish (b1604) was one of the early emigrants to America (in 1640) where he became the founder of Lancaster MA, nine generations later one of his descendants was George Herbert Walker Bush (b1924), the 41st President of the United States - followed one generation later by George Walker Bush (b1946), the 43rd President of the United States. It isn't inconceivable that there is a family connection here - it's worth pursuing to see if this is our one "celebrity" connection!!
Ancestors of Elizabeth Robinson
Whilst Elizabeth’s male ancestry is shrouded in mystery, her female ancestry is clear, if a bit convoluted:
Elizabeth Robinson’s female ancestry - the Gornall Family
Thomas Gornall (b Cleveley 1790 d ????) is the “earliest identified Gornall” in the family tree. Thomas was born in Cleveley (nr Garstang) around 1790 – his parents are not known.
Thomas married Isabella Myerscough at St Mary’s, Lancaster on 22nd May 1815 – Thomas was described as “of Winmarleigh in the parish of Garstang” and his occupation was as a Husbandman; Isabella was described as “of this town and parish” (ie Lancaster) and was a Spinster – both Thomas and Isabella made their mark.
Isabella was the daughter of Richard and Elizabeth Myerscough (nee Ward), one of 4 children. Richard and Elizabeth were married at St Peter’s RC Church, Lancaster on 24th May 1795 and then again at St Mary's CofE Church, Lancaster on 26th May 1795 (at the time the restrictions on Catholic Sacramental observance meant that it was illegal to be married in a Catholic ceremony, so maybe it wasn't unusual for Catholics to marry in a CofE church, if they wanted to "formalise" their marriage (in addition to a "private" Catholic ceremony, perhaps) - but it is unusual for a couple to be married under both observances and to have both marriages recorded in the respective Parish Registers). Richard and Elizabeth's 4 children were all baptised at St Peter’s, Isabella on 27th May 1795 (3 days after their marriage!) – so Isabella, although baptised a Catholic, married in a CofE church. Richard Myerscough was born in 1761 and died in 1835 - at the time of his death he was the Innkeeper of the Black Bull at Skerton. The cause of his death was Dropsy, as recorded in the St Peter's parish register, and he was buried at St Mary's, identified as a Papist in that parish register. Elizabeth Myerscough died in 1813 in Skerton - her cause of death was Consumption, as recorded in the St Peter's parish register. Following Elizabeth's death, Richard married twice more, and in his Will he made bequests to all his surviving children, including his step-children - Isabella being identified as "Bella Gorner, the wife of Thomas Gorner of Preston".
Thomas and Isabella Gornall had 8 children between 1816 and 1836, with Elizabeth (b1816) providing the ancestral link.
Thomas was employed as a husbandman at the time of his marriage in 1815. In 1816 the family was still living in Lancaster, his occupation being described as a “Post Boy” in the parish register at Elizabeth’s christening at St Mary’s. Between 1818 and 1825 the family lived in Garstang, and Thomas’s occupation was variously described as “Chain Driver” and Labourer in christening registers in Garstang. By 1827 the family had moved to Preston, living at the Bull Inn, and Thomas’s occupation was as an Ostler. Thomas was still an Ostler in 1833, but the family had moved to Brunswick St (perhaps they had out-grown the accommodation at the Bull Inn?). In 1836 the family still lived in Brunswick St, but Thomas’s occupation was now a Labourer. At the time of the 1841 Census the family still lived in Brunswick and Thomas was a Framework Spinner – in 1851 the family lived at 75 Brunswick St and Thomas (by now a Widower) was a “Porter at Cotton Mill”.
Isabella died in 1848 – it is likely that Thomas died in 1870, aged 83 (although it is still to be confirmed that this is "our" Thomas!
Elizabeth Gornall (b Lancaster 1816 d Preston 1885)
Elizabeth was the eldest of Thomas and Isabella’s 8 children, born on 17th June 1816 and christened at St Mary’s, Lancaster on 14th July 1816.
Elizabeth’s daughter Elizabeth Ann Gornall was christened at St John’s, Preston on 7th February 1836, the father being William Gornall of Brunswick St. There is no record of any marriage between a William Gornall and Elizabeth Gornall, so it might be assumed that Elizabeth Ann was illegitimate – particularly given that William was not living with Elizabeth at either the 1841 or 1851 Census.
At the time of the 1841 Census, Elizabeth and Elizabeth Ann were both living with the “Thomas & Isabella family” in Brunswick St (both named “Betsy”) – Elizabeth’s occupation being as a Weaver. In 1851, the two Elizabeth’s are living as Lodgers at 25 Queen St – along with a 9-month-old John Gornall: it isn’t known which Elizabeth was John’s mother! Elizabeth snr’s occupation was given as a Tackler – Elizabeth jnr’s occupation was unreadable. John died in 1855.
Elizabeth (snr) married John Whittam at the Parochial Chapel of Walton-le-Dale on 29th March 1857 – Elizabeth was described as a Spinster (confirming Elizabeth Ann’s illegitimacy) living in Walton-le-Dale and employed as a Weaver – her father, Thomas, was described as a Groom. Both John and Elizabeth made their mark.
At the time of the 1861 Census, John and Elizabeth (occupation given as Housekeeper) were living at 13 Paradise St with Robert and Isabella Mercer (who was Elizabeth’s neice) and Elizabeth Robinson (Elizabeth snr’s now-married daughter, despite the Census return recording her as Unmarried!).
In the 1871 Census 3 generations were living at 22 Paradise St:
John & Elizabeth Whittam; aged 53 and 54;
Elizabeth Robinson, aged 33, born in Preston, Single, described as “Daughter”; and
Elizabeth Robinson, aged 1, born in Preston, described as “Daughter”.
At the time of the 1881 Census, John and Elizabeth are living at 22 Paradise St.
Elizabeth died in Preston in 1885 – John in 1894.
Elizabeth Ann Gornall (b Preston 1836 d Preston 1898)
Elizabeth Ann was the illegitimate daughter of Elizabeth Gornall, christened on 7th February 1836 at St John’s, Preston – her father was William Gornall according to the civil birth certificate. There are no records showing any co-habitation between William and Elizabeth Gornall – remembering that Elizabeth (snr) was born a Gornall, the naming of William as the father may have been an alternative to “unknown”.
Elizabeth Ann lived with her mother, Elizabeth, at the time of the 1841 and 1851 Censuses and was either the mother or sister of John Gornall (b 1850 d1855).
Elizabeth Ann Gornall married Isaac Robinson at St John’s on 27th December 1856, Elizabeth was aged 22, was employed as a Carder and lived in Paradise St ("father" John Gornall) – Isaac was aged 21, was employed as a Labourer and lived in Taylor St (father Isaac Robinson). There are some inconsistencies in the parish register details – in particular Elizabeth’s naming of her father as John, but remembering the fact that Elizabeth Ann was illegitimate and may not have known who her father was and also bearing in mind the fact that Elizabeth again gave her father’s Christian name as John when she married for the second time (in 1878); maybe she was already regarding John Whittam as her father (?) – we can be very confident that this marriage was of “our” Elizabeth Ann Gornall when the other evidence is considered. One of the witnesses at the marriage was Margaret Mercer – related to Elizabeth by marriage.
Isaac and Elizabeth had two children in the early years of their marriage - John William in 1857 and Cecily in 1858, by which time Isaac's occupation was given as a Policeman. There appears to have been a problem within the family around this time, however, as, at the time of the 1861 Census, Isaac was living with his parents, sisters and his children at 51 Taylor St – Isaac’s status was “Married” and his occupation was given as a Labourer (as opposed to Policeman in 1858!). Elizabeth was living with her mother and stepfather at 13 Paradise St – her surname was “Robinson” but she gave her status as “Unmarried” – her occupation was as a Rover at Factory. Had Isaac and Elizabeth separated by 1861, or did they just happen to be living with their respective parents at the time of the Census? – Elizabeth is described as a Lodger, so that might suggest a permanent arrangement.
Elizabeth’ s daughter, Elizabeth Ann was born on 11th September 1869 at 22 Paradise St, Preston – the father being William Robinson (a Cotton Spinner) according to her Civil Birth Certificate. Isaac was still alive at this time, so Elizabeth Ann must be presumed to be illegitimate.
In the 1871 Census 3 generations were living at 22 Paradise St:
John & Elizabeth Whittam; aged 53 and 54;
Elizabeth Robinson, aged 33, born in Preston, Single, described as “Daughter”; and
Elizabeth Robinson, aged 1, born in Preston, described as “Daughter”.
Elizabeth had another daughter, Mary Ann, who was born on 31st July 1873 at 22 Paradise St, Preston – the father being Isaac Robinson (a Carter) according to her Civil Birth Certificate. Mary Ann was baptised at St Augustine’s RC Church, Preston on 5th August 1873, her godmother being her grandmother Elizabeth Whittam, with “no father” entered in the parish register. It is worth noting that Elizabeth’s husband, Isaac, had moved to Lancaster in 1861 to join the Police Force and stayed there until 1875 – in the 1871 Census, he was living as a Lodger in Lancaster. This doesn’t mean, of course, that Isaac couldn’t be Mary Ann’s father, but it seems more likely that she was illegitimate. There is no evidence that Elizabeth's first born children (John William and Cecily) ever lived with her following her split with Isaac - Cecily appears to have died in the 1860s, but John was still living with his aunt (Margaret) in Butlers Court, Preston at the time of the 1881 Census.
Elizabeth Gornall married Henry Clayton at the Preston Register Office on 22nd June 1878 (both making their Marks) – Elizabeth’s surname is given as Gornall, her status is given as a Widow, and she gives her fathers name as John Robinson (deceased) – inexplicable!
Henry and Elizabeth Clayton had a daughter, Rebecca, in 1880 – baptised on 1st July 1880 at English Martyrs. The parish register names her parents as Henry and Elizabeth Clayton (nee Gornall).
In the 1881 Census the Clayton family is living at 76 Haydock St, with Elizabeth and Mary Ann (Robinson!) being given the Clayton surname.
Henry Clayton died in 1882.
Elizabeth Clayton was baptised at English Martyrs RC Church on 11th January 1890 – the “Conditional Baptism Register” ……………
In the 1891 Census the Clayton family (headed by Elizabeth, widow) is living at 141 Victoria St with Elizabeth and Mary Ann once again being named Robinson – both of them being employed as Weavers. Elizabeth (jnr) was still living at 141 Victoria St at her marriage to William Strettle in 1895.
Elizabeth Clayton died in 1898 after what seems to have been a very eventful life!
In the 1901 Census Mary Ann Robinson and Rebecca Clayton are living together at 183 Barlow St.
Isaac Robinson died in Preston in 1905, after living outside the town for many years.
Elizabeth Robinson’s male ancestry - the Robinson Family
Resume:
Elizabeth’s mother (Elizabeth Gornall) married Isaac Robinson
Elizabeth’s father (as per Birth Certificate) is William Robinson
Elizabeth’s father (as per Marriage Certificate) is John Robinson
Elizabeth’s sister’s father (as per Birth & Marriage Certificates) is Isaac Robinson
Isaac Robinson (b Caton 1801 d Preston 1862)
Isaac Robinson (b Penwortham 1835 d Preston 1905)
Isaac Robinson (snr) was born in Caton, nr Lancaster in 1801, his wife Margaret was born in Singleton 1796. Circa 1830 they were living in Leyland where their daughters Margaret and Jane were christened; circa 1835 they were living in Penwortham where their children Isaac (b1835) and Cicily were christened. A gentleman named William Robinson was born in Penwortham circa 1840, although his parents are not known!
Isaac Robinson married Elizabeth Ann Gornall at St John’s on 27th December 1856, Elizabeth was aged 22 and lived in Paradise St – Isaac was aged 21 and lived in Taylor St.
At the time of the 1861 Census the Robinson family was living at 51 Taylor St, including Isaac, his 2 children with Elizabeth, his 3 sisters and an illegitimate child! Isaac’s status was “Married” and he was employed as a Labourer. His wife, Elizabeth, was living with her mother and stepfather at 13 Paradise St – her surname was “Robinson” but she gave her status as “Unmarried”.
Isaac Robinson (snr) died in 1862, Margaret in 1869, both in Preston.
Isaac Robinson (jnr) left Preston in 1861 to become a Police Constable in Lancaster – he joined the Lancaster Force on 13th July 1861 and remained there until 27th August 1875 when he was dismissed from the Force, having been convicted of Arson!
Isaac was charged with “committing a nuisance on the 23rd August 1875 at the house of Thomas Pedder of Damside St, Lancaster by burning a quantity of cotton under the said doorway”. Isaac pleaded not guilty. He had served 14 years in the Police Force without any report against him, there was only one witness to the alleged crime and Isaac claimed mistaken identity, but he was found guilty and fined 40s with costs of £1-1s-6d. The impact was much greater, of course as Isaac lost his job.
Isaac cannot be found in the 1881 Census, but in the 1891 and 1901 Censuses, he is working as a Night Porter at the Kirkdale Workhouse in Liverpool.
Isaac Robinson died in Preston in 1905, it appears that Isaac returned to Preston at the end of his life after apparently living outside the town for over 40 years.
Summary of Elizabeth Robinson’s probable ancestry:
So – who was Elizabeth Robinson’s father? She was born illegitimate and her Birth and Marriage Certificates give different father’s names: the probability is that Elizabeth’s father is unknown. Her mother, born Elizabeth Gornall, was also born illegitimate – she married and separated (to/from Isaac Robinson) and then re-married (to Henry Clayton) when Isaac was still alive, so she was certainly a bigamist, although she may have believed Isaac to be dead, given that he had moved away from Preston some 17 years before her 2nd marriage.
Elizabeth Robinson’s grandmother (the first Elizabeth Gornall) brought up her daughter single-handedly – not marrying until the year after Elizabeth’s marriage to Isaac Robinson. One of the Elizabeth Gornall’s had an illegitimate child in 1850 (probably Elizabeth snr given that Elizabeth jnr was only 14 at the time).
Elizabeth Robinson had a half-sister and step-sister, and lived with them until her marriage, but apparently never talked about them in later years – her grandchildren were unaware that she had any siblings until her story was researched.
A pretty convoluted family history – one where there was evidently a relaxed attitude to illegitimacy, but equally one where families supported each other across the years and generations: a different world to today!
