Initially the family lived at the Bee Hive in Strickley.
George was born in 1846 but died at 15 weeks. See the report of the inquest, from the Kendal Mercury, of Jan 1847. Mary was also born in Westmorland, in 1848. At about this time the family moved to Waterside farm. Here all the remaining children were born. Unfortunately, both Richard and Elizabeth were to die, within 2 weeks of each other in 1861. The fate of John, born in 1850, is uncertain. He worked at Waterside at the time of the census in 1871 but there is no verifiable record after this. There is a record of John Mackereth, who died in the Lancaster area on 12 November 1874. Unfortunately, this is supported by an additional record which suggest that he entered Haydock Asylum as a private patient on 6 Nov. 1874 |
