Richard's Family

Richard Mackereth, aged 24, married Sarah Bateman, aged 25, on 7 October 1844 at St Stephen in 
New Hutton, Westmorland. They had nine children: 

George Mackreth 1846-1847 
Mary Mackereth 1848-1931 
John Mackereth 1850-1874 
Henry Mackereth 1852-1937 
Sarah Mackereth 1854-1930 
Richard Mackereth 1856-1861 
William Mackereth 1858-1901 
Elizabeth Mackereth 1860-1861 
Richard Thomas Mackereth 1861-1936 
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
