Slaters from Ribchester
Tweet
Good evening. I wondered if anyone could help me. I am looking for anything on the Slater family from Ribchester, Lancashire. Richard was born in 1838 and he married Nancy Jackson. I am looking for anything on his family and his parents. He had around 9 children(possible more). Kate one of his daughters married Thomas Simpson(my great grandad. Would love to know anything about this family. xxx
Hallo trace.
Welcome to Ancestry Aid.
I have been having a quick look at your Slaters.... Oh Heavens! which one was he?
I have tried to track him through the censuses. In 1891 he is with wife Nancy and five of the children in Bashall Eaves, a farmer. RG12/3387/8/5
Richard 54 born Ribchester Lancs
Nancy, wife 38 born Yorkshire
Thomas , son 18
Mary Jane 10
KATE 7
Maud 6
Meta 10 mts.
children all born in Bashall Eaves.
Nearby lives
James Slater 77 born Ribchester, farmer
Eliz wife 77
William 51 son
James Slater grandson 19
Ann Slater grandaughter14
In 1851, Bashall Eaves
Richard Slater 69 Farmer of 232 acres born Ribchester
Jane wife 63 born harwood
Thos son 39 born Blackburn William son 28 born Ribchester
Margaret 23 dau.Ribchester
Laurence? 21 sonRibchester
John Sowerbutts 22 farm servant
Mary Markland 13 servant born Yorks.
RICHARD SLATER 14 visitor born Ribchester
Ellen Millicock? visitor 26 born Ribchester.
So one may assume that this Richard is the one who marries Nancy.
There are several Richards born Ribchester between 1836-41 but the one who fits best agewise is this one below
1851 census
Tongue with Haulgh Lancs
Ho107/537/18
John Slater 45 weaver
Martha wife 42
James , son 20 coal miner
Ann dau. 19 weaver
Joseph son tenter/cotton 15
Mary dau 13
Thomas6
RICHARD 4
Margaret 1
all born Lancs.
Or was his mother called Ellen and she was a widow in 1841?
Or was he the son of John and Jane and born in 1840.
At this point I am unsure
What information do you have?

Do you know he was definately born in 1838? There are two possibles on the IGI The first born 5.2.1837 parents James & Elizabeth. The second born 28/5/1840 parents John and Jane. Both born in Ribchester. If you know his date of birth you can send for a birth certificate which will tell you both parents names and Father's occcupation. The registration for Ribchester was Preston. so I think if you are unsure about his year of birth this one may well be him June qr 1840 Preston 21 58 which seems to tally with the second from the IGI with parents John and Jane

Searching for Twizell, Brown & Storey from Northumberland. Kelly & Kinsella from Ireland, Parkinson from Lincolnshire. Mellor from Derbyshire and Jackson from Warwickshire.
And there is also Richard Slater born 05 Feb 1837 and christened 26 Feb 1837 at ribchester parents James and Sarah.
Richard Slater born 28 May 1840 christened 28 May 1840 Ribchester parents John and Jane.
So best to get copy of marriage cert of Richard and Nancy which will give both fathers' names and occupations and so name for certain who your Richard's father is. Marriage Richard Slater and Nancy Jackson Clitheroe Lancs. Dec quarter 1872, gro no. 8e, 445 and will cost £9.25 from the GRO.
There is a rather suspicious gap between the birth of Thomas Slater 18 in 1891 and the next one Mary Jane aged 10. Was Richard married before?
And are these his children too?
Mark born 16 April 1883, Sarah Ellen 1878, Alfred 1872 and Anne Marie(they were all christened in Marsden and parents were Richard Slater and Nancy?)

Do you have this marriage cert, if so what is her fathers occupation?
