1851 Census

Thomas & Hannah Bagnall Household

From the 1851 census we see that Thomas is now married to Hannah Willis and living at 141 Bridge Street, Doncaster Road (or Doncaster Row?). Thomas is 28 and Hannah is 24.

Their children William (yet another William) and John (My Great Great Grandfather) are listed with their ages.

Visiting or living with them at the time was Hanna's sister, Ann Willis, listed as sister in law.

William Bagnall	Age 6
John Bagnall	Age 2

Jonas & Hannah Bagnall Household

From this census entry we can see that Jonas was a Brickmakers Labourer, possibly at the local Mount Clay Brickworks at the end of Greenhill Road, or perhaps at the Wind Hill Brickworks a mile further north. Perhaps this was what led to the Bagnall family becoming involved in building?

Jonas and Hannah lived at Camplins Yard. This may well have been in the Stanley Road/Greenhill Road area though I don't know with any certainty.

Their children are listed:

Thomas Bagnall	Age 3
Elizabeth Bagnall	Age 9 months

George & Ann Bagnall Household

By 1851, George and Ann had moved to Heath, in the township of Warmfield cum Heath. George, aged 44, is recorded as an Iron Moulder, born Sandal; Ann, aged 39, born Crofton.

Thomas Bagnall	Age 12, Blacksmith's Cutler
Joseph Bagnall	Age 11, Scholar
George Robert Bagnall	Age 8, born Crofton
