Biography

Birth

William was born about 1830[1]

Occupation

Tailor[1]

In the 1861 census William (age 31) was the head of household in Worksop, Nottinghamshire, England.[2]

William Widdowson was born in 1829 in Worksop, Nottinghamshire, England to George Widdowson and Elizabeth (Bywater) Widdowson.

William Widdowson, son of George, a tailor, & Elizabeth, residing at Lead Hill, was christened on 18 Nov 1829 at Our Lady and St Cuthbert Priory in Worksop.[3]

In 1841 William Widdowson (age 10-14) lived at Potter St in Worksop with his father George (45-49, Tailor), mother Elizabeth (40-44), and four siblings: Harriet (20-24), Anne (10-14), Caroline (5), and Walter (3).[4][5]

William Widdowson (age 21, residing at Porter, son of George Widdowson) and Mary Ann Tustin (age 19, residing at Coal Pit Lane, daughter of Joseph Tustin) were married on 23 Dec 1850 at the Cathedral Church of St Peter and St Paul in Sheffield, Yorkshire.[6] The marriage was registered in Sheffield in the last quarter of the year.[7]

William and Mary had twelve children:

  1. Harriett Widdowson (1851-1851)
  2. George Widdowson (1852-1853)
  3. Frederick Widdowson (1854-)
  4. Elizabeth Ann (Widdowson) Wilford (1856-)
  5. Thomas "Tom" Widdowson (1859-)
  6. Charles Widdowson (1861-1862)
  7. Maria Widdowson (1862-)
  8. Harriett Widdowson (1865-)
  9. Catherine Widdowson (1867-1870)
  10. Walter Widdowson (1869-1870)
  11. Lucy Ann Widdowson (1871-)
  12. Lily Widdowson (1875-1875)

In 1851 William Widdowson (age 21, Tailor Journeyman) lived at Beaver Place in Worksop with his wife Mary A (19, Dress Maker).[8]

In 1861 William Widdowson (age 31, Tailor) lived at Beavor Place in Worksop with his wife Mary N (29) and three children: Frederick (7, Scholar), Elizabeth (4, Scholar), and Tom (2, Scholar).[9]

In 1871 William Widdowson (age 42, Tailor) lived at 8 Beaver Place in Worksop with his wife M A (38) and four children: Frederick (17, Joiner), Thomas (12, Scholar), Maria (8, Scholar), and Harriott (6, Scholar), as well as visitor Frederick Lyga (7, Scholar).[10][11]

In 1881 William Widdowson (age 50, Tailor) lived at Beaver Place in Worksop with his wife Mary A (49) and three children: Tom (22, Wood Turner), Harriett (17, Dressmaker), and Lucy Ann (9, Scholar).[12]

In 1891 William Widdowson (age 63, Tailor) was a lodger at Abbey Street in Worksop in the household of Thomas Rose (42, Coal Miner) - also in the household were Thomas' wife, four children, father, and another lodger.[13] William's wife Mary A (59, Dressmaker) lived at Park Street in Worksop with lodger Archibald Virtue (20, Plumber).

William is listed as a widower on the 1901 census, but no record of Mary's death has been located. As they didn't live together in 1891, is it possible that they had actually separated?

In 1901 William Widdowson (age 70, Living on Means) lived at Green Lane Road in Leicester, Leicestershire with his son-in-law Samuel Wilford (38, Shoe Clicker), daughter Elizabeth Wilford (43), two granddaughters: May Wilford (11) and Mary Wilford (5), and son-in-law's father Samuel Wilford (74, Living on Means).[14]

William Widdowson passed away in 1907, aged 77 years. His death was registered in Leicester in the first quarter of the year.[15]

Widdowson-1528 and Widdowson-1118 appear to represent the same person because: Both profiles are for William Widdowson a tailor from Worksop who was married to Mary Ann and had a son Tom. Born either 1829 or 1830.
