John Lauderdale (1827-1893)

Individual Events and Attributes

  • Birth:

  • Mar 1827

  • Simonburn, Northumberland1 2

  •  

  • The 1851 Census gives his age (24) which establishes the year as 1827 and place of birth as Simonburn. However, he was baptised on 8 April 1827 in Wark which is about 3 miles to the north of Simonburn. As the Census shows that his parents lived in Wark it is possible that his mother stayed with a relative for his birth. and as it was normal practice to baptise children within a few week of being born he was probably born in March 1827.

  • Baptism:

  • 8 Apr 1827 (age 0)

  • mason; Wark, Northumberland4 5 6 7

  •  

  • The 1861, 71, 81 and 91 Censuses all give his occupation as a (stone) mason with the 1891 Census showing that he is working on his own account (i.e. he has his own business). Although the 1851 Census shows him as a cordwainer this is thought to be an error. At the time he as living with his parents and his father was a cordwainer so the enumerator could easily have made a mistake. He was probably apprenticed at the age of 14 and worked until he died in 1893
