to view a picture of the person48. Hannah HEPPLESTONE was born about 1862 in Silkstone, Yorkshire. She was also known as Hannah Lockwood about 1871. In 1881 she was an Unemployed Domestic Servant living at home in Blacker Green, Silkstone, Yorkshire. She died in 1952 in Fir Vale, Hospital, Sheffield.

Hannah
HEPPLESTONE had the following children:
Hannah HEPPLESTONE and George
CLARKSON were married about 1889 in Silkstone Church, Silkstone, Yorkshire.
George and Hannah were cousins. Hannah's uncle James Hepplestone (1834) had
married George's aunt Elizabeth Clarkson (1838). On the marriage certificate
Hannah's surname was Hepplestone but on the birth certificates of her children
her maiden name was recorded as Lockwood. As well as the ten children that Hannah
had after her marriage there were 2 or 3 which were stillborn. They lived in
6 Albany Street, Gainsborough, Lincolnshire in 1891. George lived
with Hannah and their son Harry. They lived in 79 Amberley Street, Attercliffe,
Sheffield, Yorkshire in 1901. George and Hannah lived with their
eldest seven children. As James Arthur was the only one to have been born in
Sheffield we can presume that they moved back to Yorkshire from Lincolnshire
in about 1898/9. George's brother Arthur and his family also lived in Attercliffe
and probably moved at the same time. Their father remained in Lincolnshire.
George CLARKSON was born about 1859 in Thurgoland,
Yorkshire. George was the eldest son of Thomas Clarkson and Elizabeth
Field.
The Clarkson Family:- Thomas was the brother of George's uncle James'
(Hepplestone b.1834) wife Elizabeth Clarkson. (See Elizabeth Clarkson for the
family history). Thomas Clarkson and Elizabeth Field had three children George
(1859), Alfred (1862) and Ellinor (1866). Thomas was a Miner in 1861 and the
family lived at Hill Top, Silkstone. They had two lodgers. In 1871 they lived
at Bullah Hall, Silkstone and Thomas (Tom) was a Game Keeper. After Elizabeth's
death in 1874 Thomas went to Gainsborough in Lincolnshire but his sons George
and Alfred stayed in Silkstone and lodged at Hill Top. They were both miners.
In Lincolnshire Thomas married Bridget Hankin in 1881 and they had three children
(Mary Elizabeth in 1882, John Robert in 1885 and Christina in 1892). In 1891
Thomas was a Game Keeper living in Keeper's Cottage near Lea Hall, Lea, Lincolnshire
but by 1901 he was working as a Crank Turner.
Now back to George.... He lived in Hill Top, Hoylandswaine, Yorkshire between
1861 and 1874. George lived with his parents and his younger siblings
Alfred (b.1862 and Ellinor (b.1866). In 1861 his father was a Miner and in 1871
he was a Game Keeper. He lived in Hill Top, Hoylandswaine, Yorkshire in 1881.
After his mother's death in 1874 his father had moved to Lincolnshire and George
and his brother Alfred had lodged with local families. George lodged next door
to Alfred with the Kilner family. He emigrated on 28 Sep 1882 from Liverpool
to New York. He sailed on the City of Chester. She was a 4,566 gross
ton ship, built by Caird & Co, Greenock in 1873 for the Inman Line of Liverpool.
Her details were - length 444.6ft x beam 44.2ft, clipper stem, two funnels, three
masts (rigged for sail), iron construction, single screw, two cylinder compound
engine, and a speed of 14 knots. There was accommodation for 125-1st, 80-2nd
and 1,310-3rd class passengers. Launched on 29th Mar.1873, she sailed from Liverpool
on her maiden voyage to Queenstown (Cobh) and New York on 10th Jul.1873.
On George's voyage there were 146 1st class cabin passengers, 102 2nd class cabin
passengers and 638 steerage passengers (3 others had died on the journey). George
was noted to be 22 and a labourer from England. The master, Fred K. Watkins,
signed the passenger list on 9 October 1882 in New York. The ship had arrived
on 7 October at 2am after a crossing of 8 days and 9 hours.
George went to America to seek his fortune and was making a good life for himself
in America. In 1889 he sailed back to England in order to take Hannah back with
him to America but she refused point blank to go - so he stayed and married her.
