She was buried on 23 May 1886 in St. John's Church, Denby, Yorkshire. She died about 1886 in Denby, Yorkshire.
Sarah WALSHAW and Benjamin BOOTHROYD lived in Manor
Farm, Denby, Yorkshire between 1845 and 1879. They were married on
9 Aug 1845 in Queen Street Wesleyan Chapel, Huddersfield, Yorkshire.
Benjamin BOOTHROYD was born on 17 Jan 1813 in Denby,
Yorkshire. He was christened on 17 Mar 1813 in Wesleyan Chapel,
Cumberworth Lane, Denby Dale, Yorkshire. Benjamin's parents were
Benjamin Boothroyd (1786-1830) and Hannah Tyas (1785-1841). The Boothroyd family
members were Denby's village tailors for many years. Their job was to cut
and make up men's suits and clothes and Benjamin (senior) had aquired the skill
of tailoring and passed it on to his sons. Benjamin (senior) was a tailor in
Denby until 1830. He was probably born in Cawthorne in 1785 to Joseph Boothroyd
and Elizabeth Parkinson.
In 1806 he was a member of the Denby Militia and worked as a tailor and
he married Hannah Tyas on 16 February 1807 in Denby Church. Both were
"of this parish" and both signed the register. Their witnesses were
John Haigh and George Tyas. (Was he a brother of Hannah?)
The Tyas Family Hannah Tyas was christened in Denby Church on 23
October 1785 and was the daughter of David Tyas, a cordwainer. David probably
married Elizabeth and their children were:- Elizabeth (1770), David (1771), Ann

Stirrol shoes. 4/6d" and "14 February 1801. To Mrs Tyas for delivering
J.H. wife. 3/- "
Elizabeth Tyas had a son, Joshua Hudson Tyas, in 1795 and Sarah Tyas had a son,
John Tyas, in 1797. Before her marriage Hannah Tyas too had had a daughter Elizabeth
(Eliza) Tyas, on 21 December 1802 who was christened at Denby on 13 February
1803. (She married Thomas Turton in Penistone on 25 June 1821. Both were of this

Thomas was a shoe maker. Their children were:- John (1822; weaver), Martha (1823;
cotton twister), Job Tyas (1825; cotton twister), George (1829), Henry (1832),
Isabella (1834), Sarah (1837), Thomas (1839) and Eliza (1842). By 1851 the family
had moved to Waterside, Padfield, Glossop, Derbyshire and Thomas was a boot maker
whilst the children were still in the cotton/woollen trade.)
In 1814 David Tyas occupied land in Denby owned by William Bosville and paid
6s 7d Land Tax in 1814 and his son William paid 6d. In 1825 David paid 6s 7d
and William paid 6d. In 1826 David occupied land owned by Lord MacDonald and
had a homestead for which he paid Land Tax of £2 10s 9d and land for which
he paid £16 4s 6d. In 1827 he paid 5s 3d for the farm and William paid 6d
for a house.
The Boothroyd Family Getting back to Benjamin Boothroyd.... he rented
a house from Joshua Lockwood according to the Land Tax records of 1814
and paid 2s 0d Land Tax and paid the same amount in 1825. In 1826
he paid £3 10d for a house and in 1827 paid 5d for a house.
Benjamin and Hannah had twelve children:- Joseph (1808-1826), John (1811-1826),
Benjamin (1813-1879), Elizabeth (b.1815; m.John Wilde 18 Feb.1844 in Darfield),
Ann Martha (1817-1817), Thomas (1819-1819), Sarah (1820-1888; m.Joshua Gaunt
6 Feb.1837 in Penistone), Henry (1822-1889; m.Mary Priest 1849 in Denby; buried
Denby 6 Apr 1889), Richard (1824-1866; m.Martha Wright 2 Oct 1851 in Rawmarsh),
George (1826-1878; m.Mary Ann Lodge 1853 in Denby; buried 9 Jul 1878), Jabez
(1828-1904; m.Elizabeth Keyworth 1853 in Denby) and Hannah (b.1830). Baby Hannah
was christened on 6 September 1830 at the Wesleyan Chapel, Cumberworth Lane,
Denby Dale like all her elder siblings. This was two months after the burial
of her father on 17 June 1830.
By 1834 Benjamin's widow, Hannah, was listed in Pigot's Directory for
Kirkburton as "Tailor" and "Shopkeeper and Dealer in Groceries
and Sundries" (both at Denby). At the time of the census in 1841
Hannah was listed as a widow. She had continued to run the farm and the tailoring
business with the help of her children. Benjamin, Henry and Richard were tailors.
Elizabeth was a dressmaker. Jabez was a fancy weaver. Hannah's brother, David
Tyas, lived with the family. In the autumn of 1841 Hannah died but Benjamin was
the eldest son and the farm passed to him. Between 1841 and 1879 he was a Farmer
of 16 acres and tailor, census records show, in Manor Farm, Denby, Yorkshire.
The family lived at Manor Farm during the textile revolution when many farms
set up machines for weaving in outbuildings and they exploited their skills in
tailoring to begin manufacturing clothing from the resulting cloth. The premises
for their work also included a cottage on Bank Lane, Denby where the clothes
were made by the Boothroyd family and their employees in a workshop on the top
floor. Hours were long and everything was hand made and, to achieve a good result,
the trade demanded much skill in measuring, cutting, sewing and fitting the clothes.
Manor Farm house was originally built in 1654 by Joseph Mosley and had a hall
with a cross wing. Later it was extended and the outer rooms were probably for
service and dairying. Later in the 18th century a service room, stair and cellar
were added.
In 1843 the Denby Survey Minute Book shows that Benjamin and Seth Dalton
were to be collectors of the Highways Tax.
When Benjamin married Sarah Walshaw in 1845, he brought his wife to live
at Manor Farm.
In 1851 he and Sarah and their two children lived at Manor Farm with Benjamin's
uncle, David Tyas, a shoemaker and farmer. Benjamin's brothers were also continuing
their trade as tailors. George and Jabez lived with their sister, Sarah, and
her family in Ratten Row, Denby. Sarah had married John Gaunt (1806-1890), a
fancy waistcoat weaver, in 1837 and they had six children (Thomas 12, Elizabeth
10, Hannah 7, Harriet 5, Benjamin 3 and Lydia 8 months). As the terraced houses
on Ratten Row were only average in size it must have been a tight squeeze!
Henry Boothroyd lived near Ratten Row with his wife Mary (nee Priest 1825-1907)
and their son Arthur aged 1 as well as her brother Nathaniel (aged 16) who was
an apprentice tailor. Henry and Mary had had two sons, Arthur (1849-1875) and
Ai (1850-1850) and their daughter Sabina was born later in 1851 (m.Law Woodhead
1879 in Denby; d. 1933).
In 1852 on 28 February David Tyas was buried at Denby.
In 1857 Benjamin was listed as the Denby village tanner in the Post Office
Directory.
In 1861 all the brothers still worked as tailors. Benjamin and Henry and
their families lived and worked in Denby. Benjamin was recorded as a "farmer
of 16 acres and a tailor". George and his wife Mary Ann Lodge (1836-1901)
lived at Birdsedge Hill, near Denby. Jabez was listed in a trade directory of
1861 as a tailor of 5 Spring Street, Huddersfield and, at the time of the census,
he was recorded at 26 Spring Street, Huddersfield as a foreman tailor with his
wife, Elizabeth, and his children Walter (b.1855 Denby), Rowland (b.1856 Wakefield)
and Sarah (b.1859 Bolton). Richard and his wife Martha (1829-1861) lived at Hardy's
Houses, Kimberworth, Yorkshire with their two children Clement (1852-1924; m.
France Kaye 7 September 1898 at Dogley Independent Chapel, Dogley, Huddersfield)
and Eva (b.1855 Rawmarsh). Richard and Martha had two more children; John (1859-1935;
m.Emily Windle 24 July 1881 at Netherfield Independent Chapel, Penistone) and
Martha Elizabeth (3 August 1861-26 March 1862). Shortly after the birth, on 3
August 1861, Richard's wife Martha died and four years later Richard died aged
40 on 29 May 1866 just before the death of his ten year old daughter, Eva, on
2 June 1866. His two sons Clement (aged 13) and John (aged 7) went to live with
their uncle Benjamin at Manor Farm. John continued the family tradition and became
a tailor in Denby and had a son, Benjamin, who was known as Benny (1882-1958;
stone, marble and wood carver; m. Winifred Taylor). His other children were Eva
(1885), Maggie (1887), George (1888), Ellen (1891) and Sabina (1895). Clement
was a cow keeper in Nether Hallam and Ecclesfield before his marriage, after
which he moved to Shepley with his wife Frances Kaye and lived at Yew Tree, Station
Road and worked as a clothier and travelling draper.
Between January 1870 and April 1872 Benjamin was mentioned in Denby's
Labour Days accounts.
In 1871 the remaining brothers were still tailors. Benjamin and Henry
lived in Upper Denby. Henry was a master tailor and Methodist Local Preacher
and his son Arthur (b.1850; buried at Denby 18 January 1875) was his assistant
and his daughter Sabina (b.1851) was a machinist. Next on the enumerator's journey
was Benjamin, a tailor and farmer of 66 acres, who lived with his wife and two
children and his two nephews Clement and John. George was a tailor and draper
in Peace Row, Upper Denby and he lived with his wife Mary Ann and their children
Elizabeth (b.1853), Ellen (b.1855), Laura (b.1863), Lucy Ann (b.1867) and Walter
(b.1874). Jabez lived at 45 Deansgate, Bolton, Lancashire. He was a tailor employing
eight men. His son Walter worked as a tailor whilst Rowland was an office boy
and Sarah had no occupation noted. His wife, Elizabeth's widowed mother (formerly
tailor's wife) lived with them.
In 1872 Denby Labour Accounts show Benjamin doing team work with his horses
and wagon carrying stone, dross and cinders to mend local roads.
After Benjamin's death Sarah lived alone and in 1881 was classed as a
widowed farmer. Henry and Mary also lived alone but Henry continued working as
a tailor until his death in 1889. George had also died and Mary Ann and her children
lived at Pump Street, High Flatts in 1881. In 1891 his widow was living
on her own means at Birdsedge with her two children Lucy (a tailoress) and Walter
(a clerk in a woollen mill; buried at Denby 28 August 1893). Between 1881 and
1891 Jabez was still a tailor and draper employing other men but he had moved
to Little Bolton in Lancashire with his family. Walter was a tailor but Rowland
studied theology.
He was buried on 11 Mar 1879 in St. John's Church, Denby, Yorkshire.
He died about 1879 in Denby, Yorkshire. Sarah WALSHAW and Benjamin
BOOTHROYD had the following children:
