Biography

Born

  • abt Feb 1868 at Clayton-le-Moors, Lancashire, England, United Kingdom.[1][2]

Baptised

  • 26 Feb 1868 at All Saints, Clayton-le-Moors, Lancashire, England, United Kingdom.[3]

  • 2 Apr 1871 was age 3 and the son of the head of the household at 117 Enfield Street, Clayton-le-Moors, Lancashire, England, United Kingdom; Occupation: none. [4]

  • 27 Oct 1888 to Elizabeth Whittaker at St. James, Altham, Lancashire, England, United Kingdom. Hartley is noted as being aged 22 with an occupation of Collier and as living in Canal Row, Clayton.[6]

Census UK 1891

  • 5 Apr 1891 was age 24 and the head of the household at Back Canal Row, Clayton Le Moors, Lancashire, England, United Kingdom; Occupation: Coal Miner.[7]

Court Case - Child Neglect

  • 13 Feb 1901 Hartley appeared before Accrington Police Court along with his wife Elizabeth charged with child cruelty against their six children with the case being brought on behalf of the NSPCC. The family had been under supervision since 11 Sep 1900. Particular reference was made to the condition of their daughter Clara , aged four, who had lost the sight in one eye and the other was inflamed due to neglect. The reason for the neglect was put down to Hartley's drinking habit and that Elizabeth had "probably lost heart". The Court found the case proved. The Court wanted to reserve judgment on any penalty for one month pending further reports on the family's progress during the intervening period.[8]

Census UK 1901

  • 31 Mar 1901 was age 36 and the head of the household at 13 Cross Edge, Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire, England, United Kingdom; Occupation: Bricksetter's Labourer.[9]

Court Case - Child Neglect

  • 7 Apr 1904 Hartley appeared before Police Court at Church, Lancashire charged with Child Neglect. It was reported the NSPCC inspector had visited the family in May 1903 who were then living in a condemned house at Cross Edge, Oswaldtwistle without the owner's permission. By this time Elizabeth had left the family; supposedly leaving for another man. Again particular reference was made to the condition of Clara which was similar to that reported in 1901. The condition of John James Hope was also detailed where it was said both his feet were badly swollen to the extent that he was virtually lame. The children were described as "small, dirty, and verminous".
  • It appears that immediately after the visit Hartley ran away leaving the children. The NSPCC inspector returned the next day and two of the children were taken to the Workhouse; the report does not detail which two they were. Witnesses called included Hartley's sister Mary Yates and another relative Arthur Holden. Mary apparently referred to Hartley as a "lazy man" during the case and it also appears that she had taken responsibility to looking after John James.
  • Hartley was convicted of the charge and sentenced to six months in prison with hard labour.[10]

Court Case - Custody

  • 12 Oct 1904 Magistrates placed Hartley's son John James into the care of Hartley's sister Mary Yates and his daughter Amelia into the care of James Herbert Holgate of Stott Street, Nelson; James being a relative of Hartley's wife Elizabeth. There was no mention of the other children.[11]

Court Case - Theft

  • 30 Jan 1905 Hartley appeared before the Colne Magistrates Court along with a William Smith charged with stealing a Copper Kettle worth 7s 6d. His occupation at this time was described as Rag Gatherer. He was convicted and sentenced to prison for one month.[12]

Court Case - No Payment of Workhouse Fees

  • 12 Feb 1908 Hartley appeared before Blackburn Magistrates Court charged with failure to pay £100 to the Blackburn Union for the upkeep of two of his children who had been accommodated in the Workhouse. The report said that the fees went back as far as 1893. Hartley was convicted and sent to prison for one month but with an option to settle.[13]

Census UK 1911

  • 2 Apr 1911 was age 48 and a lodger in the household at 20 To 24 Cannon Street Burnley, Lancashire, England, United Kingdom; Occupation: General Labourer. Hartley is living in a lodging house; no other members of his family are with him.[14]

Court Case - Assault

  • 13 Jun 1922 Hartley appeared before Burnley Police Court charged with violently assaulting his daughter Clara. The inference from the newspaper report that the assault was related to her relationship with a widower with whom she was living with but not married to. Clara was noted as living at 2 Union Court. Hartley is reported as living at 7 Veevers Street and as having an occupation of Rag Gatherer. Hartley pleaded guilty and was sentenced to one month in prison with hard labour.[15]

Died

  • abt Nov 1936 in the Burnley registration district, Lancashire, England, United Kingdom.[16]

Research Notes

Court Case - 7 Apr 1904

  • It is likely that the witness reported as being Arthur Holden was Arthur Holding the husband of Hartley's sister Amelia.[17]
