Section Heading

Many of the places mentioned in the narratives about each person in this site contain links to that place in Google Maps. To view that location click the icon. What is displayed on the map depends on several factors, including how specifically the location of the event is known. When only a state, county, city or town is known you usually see the current boundries of that location outlined and named. If the specific address of a location is known you will usually see that exact location marked, and if Google has a "street view" image of the location that will also be available. In some cases you can see the actual dwelling where someone lived. In other cases you will see that the dwellings have since been replaced with freeways, public buildings, or other modern structures. You may find it interesting to switch the map to the "Satellite" view to see the surrounding terrain as it appears today. You can return to our website with the "back" command in your browser, but you may have to use it several times if you have explored various views in the map. When the address has been changed since the time of the event we have tried to determine the correct location. For example, click this icon to see on a map the home of Terry's grandparents in Peoria in the 1920's. An image of the house appears at the top left, which can be expanded to full screen. Peoria is one of the cities that has renamed many streets and renumbered most as was the case here, but we have re-directed the map in this instance to the correct location.

The first record of where the family lived is in the 1841 census. It shows their residence as ‘Brittannia Land’, presumably in the area of the Britannia Mills adjacent to the Great Northern Railway Station on Wellington Street. By then only John and William still lived with their parents, John working as a clerk and William as a machine apprentice in the mill. Moses also worked in the mill as a wool cloth dresser.
The family did not remain together for many more years. On 11 March 1845, John married Scarborough-born Jane Beswick at Leeds Parish Church of St Peter. Then, in May 1846, William married Hannah Maria Beswick, Jane’s sister, and moved to Darlington in County Durham. In between the two weddings was a funeral, that of Moses’ wife Maria who died in November 1845.
As usual in those days, a new generation of children soon appeared. John and Jane’s first child, Fanny Maria, was born in December 1845 and was followed by Edwin Richard Reid in 1847 and John Richard Walter in 1849. When the census was taken in 1851, they were living at 19 Alfred Place, Little London near Leeds town centre. John was employed as a solicitor’s managing clerk and the family was sufficiently well-off to afford an Irish servant girl, Ann McCann.
William and Hannah Maria were also quick to start a family, their first two children, both boys, born while they were still in Darlington. However, by 1851 they had returned to Yorkshire and were living at Hill Side Villas, Bradford. William was employed as an attorney writing clerk and over the next two years Hannah gave birth to two daughters.
