William Slack

Notes:

I am making an assumption that this family in the 1871 & 1881 British Census belongs to him. The year and place of birth fit; plus, a daughter is named Ellen, and my grandma used to speak of a cousin "Nellie Slack." Elizabeth seems to be the "servant" age 18 who is living with Joseph & Elizabeth Coleman and family in the 1891 census.

In 1871 they are at 1 Union St.; in 1881 they are at 47 Union St., Mansfield.

In 1891 Ann is a widow, still at 47 Union St.

The son John, born c1860, apparently is the one who is married to Mary, and with whom his cousin Florrie Coleman (my great aunt) is living in 1901.

William married Ann Unknown Abt 1859. Ann was born Abt 1840, Mansfield, Nottingham, England; died Aft Apr 1901. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1871 census, John is age 11, living with his family at 1 Union St., Mansfield.

In 1881 John is age 21 and married to Mary, also age 21. They are living at 9 Plantation Row, Mansfield.

In 1891 John & Mary are age 30, living at 28 Union St., Mansfield. With them is Ethel Bostwick, age 6, niece, born Notts.

In 1901 John & Mary are ages 41 & 40. They are living at 1 Caxton Terrace, Mansfield. With them are Ethel Bostock, age 16, niece born Notts; and Florrie Coleman, age 16, born Mansfield, Notts. Both Ethel & Florrie are shop assistants. Florrie is my great-aunt, sister of my Grandma Berry (nee Ellen Coleman).

John married Mary Unknown Bef Apr 1881. Mary was born Abt 1860, Sedgley, Staffordshire, England; died Aft Apr 1901. [Group Sheet]
