Hi Brenda, The children of Samuel Litherland, blacksmith, and Mary baptised around that time and recorded in the parish registers are Lydia July 29 1814, Harriott October 12 1815, Maria October 18 1818. The marriage of Jane Litherland of full age, father Samuel blacksmith, to Horatio Adolphus Port, hairdresser of Tutbury, father John Port hat manufacturer, was on May 27 1839, witnesses Mary Litherland, John Saddington, Samuel Litherland.
Perhaps Harriott didn't like her given name and was called Jane instead? The October dates may be a bit misleading as regards birth dates. At that time a lot of Appleby baptisms took place in Wakes week, in October. See my article 'High Days and Holidays' In Focus 24 in this history section. Richard

I am looking for more information on the Litherland family as well; I am a descendent of Lydia Wilson who came to New Zealand about 1849. Lydia married Thomas Wilson in 1848 but I'm not sure if they married in Appleby or Burton upon Trent.
Also some curious about Mary Wilson who was living with Samuel and Mary Litherland in the 1841 census. In 1861 census Mary Litherland had died either 1846 or 1847, there are two deaths under that name for Ashby de la Zouch district so not sure which she is. I wonder if anyone has stumbled upon any other information?
In the 1851 census Samuel was listed as "father in law" living with John and Ann Saddington.
Many thanks for any assistance it is gratefully accepted Nicki

Hello Brenda and Nicki,
As regards Litherland family they are recorded in the Appleby parish register from the early 1600s....so presumably well established in the parish in the 17th century. From 1698-1707 the register provided occupations and there is an entry for Letherland, with occupation given as "tailor". ... Abraham, Edward and Thomas Litherland paid for one hearth in the 1670 hearth tax returns for Appleby. Edward Litherland paid for two hearths, which suggests somewhat more prosperous.... A Litherland is recorded as signing the Protestation Oath of 1641 (listed among incomplete list of signatories transcribed into the Appleby Parish register) You might care to check the list of Appleby wills and inventories on the history website (Appleby Kinship)for pre 1750s....

Postscript to above: Transcripts of Appleby wills and inventories are in the Appleby Heritage Centre, including, I seem to recall, an inventory for Thomas Litherland c. 1742 (?)

Photograph of Appleby Moat House c. 1900 There is an interesting photograph of Appleby Moat House in the Leicester Record Office (reprinted in Leicestershire and Rutland one hundred years ago, by David Gerrard, 1994) with the occupants standing outside the gatehouse in Victorian finery (including two children). Am curious as to who they were, if perhaps known or listed somewhere...

Could it be the same? regards Richard[/quote]
Yes the photo of Appleby Moat House is indeed the same (!) So the occupants should be listed in the 1911 Census (?) perhaps.

The web-page of the photo includes 'Gothards at the Moat House'. So I think the name of the family must be Gothard, a family which is still in the village. The Gallery index thanks to Mavis Johnson for the photo. No doubt the occupants shown in the photo should be in the census info. Incidentally, what has this got to do with the Litherlands, the subject of this thread? Have I missed something?!!

Still looking for further information on Samuel and Mary Litherland and their children.
Elizabeth b. 1807 d. 1831. She had an illegitimate daughter Maria b. 1828. Ann b. 1809 d. 1888 and married John Saddington. Mary b. 1810 - married Thomas Wilson 1840 - d. 1841-1845 Jane b. 1812 - married H.A. Port d. 1846 Lydia b. 1814 d. 1888 married Thomas Wilson 1845 Harriot b. 1815 d. 1836 Maria b. 1818 d. 1821
Thomas Wilson was married firstly to Mary Litherland 31 Aug 1840. In the 1841 census Mary Wilson is living with Samuel and Mary Litherland but there is no record of her daughter Mary Elizabeth Wilson who was born 15 May 1841. She does not appear in the census with her father either.
Can anyone tell me if Mary Wilson is buried in Appleby and is there any record of her death and what cause was.
Thanks Nicki

Hi, Does anyone know the names of Mary Wilson's parents and where they come from?

Janet -
I bit of confusion here, in my mind at least.
Which Mary do you mean, Mary Wilson nee Litherland as in David's post above, or as the Parish Registers have it listed, Mary Wilsoon from Donisthorpe (in Derbyshire) who married Samuel Litherland from Appleby (in Leicestershire) in 1806 ?

Hi, Thanks for the reply. Mary who married Samuel Litherland in 1806 is the one I'm after information about.

Janet - not a lot of success.
I've done a quick search on IGI and drawn a blank. But with IGI that's not too surprising.
There are about a dozen or so people on Ancestry.co.uk who have Mary listed, but most of the entries are identical (so possibly copies of someone's original), born 1773, married 1806, died 1846. And virtually no other information.
A couple list Donisthorpe as the place of birth.
Only one has any significantly different information.
They list the birth as 1773 Donisthorpe, but have then attached a christening record for 12th December 1772, Staveley in Derbyshire, parents William & Bridget Wilson.
How a 1773 birth in Donisthorpe is tied to a 1772 christening in Staveley (about 50 miles away) is not shown or noted.
As christenings normally happen after the birth, either some dates are wrong somewhere, or possibly the Staveley Mary Wilson that they list is not the correct Mary Wilson.
So all in all -- not a lot of help.
