Biography

Flag of Lancashire (adopted 2008)
William Hagan was born in Lancashire, England.

William James Hagan (1867-1945) was born in West Derby, Liverpool on the 29th April 1867. He was the son of Robert Hagan and Margaret Martindale. [1]

The family lived in Crosfield Road, Fairfield, Liverpool in 1871 [2] but his mother died in 1877 and in 1881 the family were on Lennox Street in Kensington, Liverpool. [3] They moved within the year and were on nearby Anglezarke Street, Kensington when William and his younger brother Richard were christened at the nearby Christ Church. [4]

He moved north and was living in Paxton Street, Accrington, Lancashire in 1890 working as a labourer when he married Margaret Jane Heyes at St Bartholomew's church in nearby Great Harwood on the 24th May 1890 [5] [6] [7]

In the 1891 census they lived on Higher Antley Street, Accrington [8] but had moved to Law Street, Accrington before November that year when William Thomas (1891) was christened. [9]

He was described as a driller living on Oswald Street, Accrington when in 1893 Bertha (1893) was born. [10]
Sadly both Bertha and her mother Margaret Jane died in June 1896 and were buried in Great Harwood.

He remarried 2 years later to Betsy Ellen Ecroyd on the 15th January 1898 at St James' church in Accrington, [11] [12] [13] and they started their family straight away with Harold (1898) later that year but he was at his grandmother's nearby when the 1901 census showed William & Betsy on Fountain Street. [14] Harold was followed in due course by Roland (1906) and Edith Ellen (1907) before the 1911 census, when they lived on Rose Street, [15] and Ethel (1913) afterwards. They still lived on Rose Street in the 1921 census when William was shown as a machinist in the engineering trade, working for a textile company. [16]

They had moved onto Ormerod Street, Accrington before 1927 [17] and remained there until the start of WW2. [18]

He died there on the 19th October 1945. [19] [20]
