Elizabeth BRUNTON

Elizabeth — William TAYLOR. [Group Sheet]

Ann married Gilbert SLACK 9 Feb 1762, Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, England. Gilbert (son of James SLACK and Catherine Unknown) was born Abt Apr 1737, Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, England. [Group Sheet]

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, 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 1841 census, Robert is living with his parents at 10 Bancroft Lane, Mansfield. It appears that five of his children are in the household, along with a possible wife, Ann -- however, further research suggests that Ann is his sister and that one of the children, Charles, is an infant belonging to Ann.

By 1861 he has remarried and has a wife named Eliza, plus four more children. They are living at 38 Club Square, Mansfield.

Robert married Eliza Radford 25 Dec 1817, Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, England. Eliza was born Abt 1807, Nottinghamshire, England; died Bef Apr 1841. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1841 census, Gilbert & Ann Slack are living at 12 Bancroft Lane, Mansfield. Two of their children are in the household: William & John. Also living on the same street are Gilbert's parents, Gilbert & Elizabeth, and three other brothers and their families.

In the 1851 census, Gilbert & Ann are at 21 Bancroft Lane; they have four children: William 19, John 11, Sarah 7, & Elizabeth 3 (our ancestor -- maternal grandmother of Edna). Gilbert is a cotton stockinger and Ann is a seamer. Living near them are other Slack family members. Next door is Ann's mother Sarah Marshall, two of Ann's sisters, as well as a niece.

In the 1861 census, Gilbert is living at 26 The Lawn, Mansfield. His profession is given as silk stocking maker. His son John, 21, was a cotton stocking maker, while Sarah, 17, was a dressmaker. Elizabeth, at 13, was still a "scholar."

Also in the 1861 census is another family that is likely related, living at 38 Club Square: Robert Slack, age 60, cotton stocking FWK; Eliza, his wife, 40; Herbert, 12; Frederick, 6; Gilbert, 4; and Walter, 11 months. I believe the father Robert is the older brother of Gilbert, the father of Elizabeth Slack.

In the 1871 census, Gilbert is age 65 and Ann is 64. They are living at 26 Union St., Mansfield. With them are their daughter and son-in-law and infant granddaughter: Joseph & Elizabeth (Slack) Coleman, both 24, and Ann, 6 months (all born Mansfield, Notts). Both Gilbert and his son-in-law Joseph are frame work knitters. Living on the same street are Elizabeth's sister and brother-in-law, John & Sarah Adcock.

In 1881 Gilbert is age 75, widowed, living at 30 Union St., Mansfield. With him are John & Sarah Adcock, both age 38. Sarah is Gilbert's daughter.
