Charles Slack

Notes:

In 1871, Charles & Mary and their two oldest children are living at 36 Bancroft Lane, Mansfield, next door to (presumed) brother John and his family. Other Slack relatives are on the same street. They appear to be at the same place in 1881.

In 1891 the family is at 13 Padley Hill. Charles is 48, Mary is 45, and their 6 youngest children are in the household.

In 1901 Charles is 60, Mary is 50, and they are at 25 Padly. Four of their children are with them: Annie, John, Frank, & Mary.

Charles married Mary Unknown Abt 1867. Mary was born Abt 1847, Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, England; died Aft Apr 1901. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1851 census, William & Ann are living on Bancroft Lane with his mother Elizabeth. They have three children: Harriett, Frederic, and Charles. Several other Slack families are living on the same street.

In the 1851 census, it appears that Ann is a widow age 62, living with her two sons. However, William is also there, age 62, a lodger. Perhaps the census taker was confused.

William — Ann Unknown. Ann was born Abt 1808, Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, England; died Aft Apr 1861. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1861 census, Ann Slack is listed as a a widow age 62, a framework knitter, living at 38 Bancroft Lane. With her are sons Frederick and Charles, ages 22 & 20. However, it appears that her husband William, also age 62, is there, listed as a lodger in the home. I think the census taker was confused and made a mistake.

Notes:

According to the church record, Gilbert was born on Tuesday, 8th Apr 1777, and baptized on aThursday, 11th July 1777.

(Note from Alan Battams: For all their children christened up to 1817, father Gilbert was a stockinger, mother Elizabeth, of Stockwell Gate. For children after 1817, father Gilbert was a stockinger, mother Elizabeth, of Bancroft Lane.)

In the 1841 census, Gilbert & Elizabeth are living at 10 Bancroft Lane. Also in the household are sons Robert & Samuel, as well as Robert's wife Ann and their five children: George, Robert, Harriet, Edward, & Charles. Nearby, at 11 & 12 Bancroft, are living two other sons, John & Gilbert, and their families.

In 1851, Gilbert is not there but Elizabeth Slack is age 73, still on Bancroft Lane, a pauper/winder.

In the 1813 Rate Book for Mansfield, p. 62, a Gilbert Slack living in Ratcliffe Gate paid 1/10 - 1/2 pence (one shilling ten and a half pence). The reference could refer to this particular Gilbert, our ancestor.

Gilbert married Elizabeth BLEAR 20 Apr 1797, St. Peter's, Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, England. Elizabeth was born Abt 1776, Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, England; died Aft Apr 1851. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1851 census, Elizabeth Slack is age 73, still on Bancroft Lane, a pauper/winder. With her is son William Slack and his wife Ann and family.
