Ted I did a little sleuthing. Martha Litchfield was born about 1866 to Samuel and Emily Litchfield. Samuel was born about 1835. He had a sister named Annie born about 1840. Their father was John Litchfield born about 1796. Martha was listed as living at home on the 1871 and 1891 census but not the 1881 census. She had an illegitimate son named Arthur Litchfield in about 1888. Could her aunt Annie be the one who married Issac Shore?

George Litchfield and Hannah Brooks
George Litchfield, 10th Child of Godfrey
and Lucy:
1839 Birth: George was baptized on 3 March 1839 in
Belper, Derbyshire, England.[1]
1841 Census: At two years of age, George was living with his parents and three brothers, Godfrey (15), Noah (10), and Octavius
(8). Godfrey is farming.[2]
1848 Birth: Hannah Brooks,
wife of George Litchfield, was
baptized on 23 Jul 1848. [3]
1851 Census: Twelve year old George
is in school. He lives with his two
parents and three brothers, Godfrey (28),
Thomas (24) and Octavius (16). His father,
Godfrey is farming 65 acres.[4]

visiting with his brother Octavius,
his sister-in-law Sarah and niece Lucy.
George was 23, unmarried and working as a carpenter.[5]
1870
Marriage: George Litchfield (31) married Hannah
Brooks (28) on Oct 28, 1870 in Duffield, Derbyshire, England. George’s occupation is “Joiner”. [6]
1871 Census: At the age of 33, George was living with his wife Hannah (27) and his mother Lucy

Church.[10] At this time the family was living in St.
Peter and George was working as a joiner. This record was in the Christ Church
Baptism book but stated their “abode” was S. Peter, other people on the page
had Christ church listed as their abode.
I wonder if the baptism took place at St. Peter but was registered in
the Christ Church book.

Recommendations:
Hannah
Brooks, wife of George
· Look for the baptism record. She was baptized on 23 Jul 1848, in FHL
British Film 1752218 item 5, page 6.[24]
Find the will Hannah left - Litchfield, Hannah of Broadholme, Belper, Derbyshire widow died 26 Jun 1927 Administration Derby 26 Aug to Jane Litchfield spinster. Effects £9 13s. 11d.
Find the will Hannah left - Litchfield, Hannah of Broadholme, Belper, Derbyshire widow died 26 Jun 1927 Administration Derby 26 Aug to Jane Litchfield spinster. Effects £9 13s. 11d.
Jane
Litchfield, daughter of George
· A Jane Litchfield married John William Shrives on Sept
30, 1894 in Surrey England.[25] This is not our Jane Litchfield because she
is on the 1901 census still living with her mother and not married. I am suspicious she never married.
· I found a death index for a Jane Litchfield dying in
1951 at the age of 79 in Welton, Lincolnshire.
The death age matches Jane’s birth year but the death location does not
match. The last census available is the
1911 Census. Jane is 39, single and
living at Broadholme, Belper, Derbyshire, England. It is possible she moved to Lincolnshire
sometime during the ensuing 40 years. This
death record requires more research.
Check to see if she left a will.
Annie
Litchfield, daughter of George
· Find the death record for Annie.
George
Warnier Cupit, spouse of Annie Litchfield, daughter of George
· I found a record for a George W Cupit, age 82, who
died sometime between Jul-Sept 1957 in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England.[26] This is a strong match except for the
location so further investigation is required.
Perhaps George and Annie moved to Lincolnshire and Jane moved with
them. Checking city directories for the
time period between 1911 and 1950 might help me pinpoint their location during
these years.

Recommendations:
Octavius: Something happened to Octavius after his wife
died. He had all of the children and a
general servant in 1881 but by 1891, he was missing and his children were
either living on their own or with their older siblings or other relatives. Then in 1901 and 1911, Octavius is in the
poor house. I wonder if I will be able
to find records at the Union House that might shed some light on the subject.
George
Litchfield, son of Octavius, I found an index
for the marriage record of George Litchfield and Hannah Green stating the
marriage can be found in the 1890 Register 2 page 99.[52] I need to check FHL Film #208083 to find this
record.

William
Litchfield, son of Octavius, New.familysearch.org
has William Litchfield married to Martha Power Baker. I have not been able to
locate an index for this marriage.
However I did find a christening record for a John William Litchfield,
son of William Litchfield and Martha Power.
This child was christened at the Primitive Methodist Church, Ripley
Circuit, Derby, England. The Primitive
Methodist Church records might have a marriage record for this couple. One possible record to check would be FHL
Film #175222 items 1-3. This microfilm
contains marriages 1874-1903.
1891 Census is a little confusing for William Litchfield . He is
not at his sister’s house with his other siblings. There are two 16 year old William Litchfields
in the area in 1891. I think our William
is living with his aunt and uncle, John and Eliza Barker in Blackwell,
Derbyshire, England.[54] My guess the other William Litchfield is
living in Holbrook and working as a servant for John W Gore. Selina Selby (25) is also working as a
servant in the same household.[55] Since Octavious’ son William married a woman
by the name of Martha Power Barker which is also the name of his first cousin
and daughter of John and Eliza (Power) Barker, I think the first census is
correct. But I need to order the
marriage certificate to make sure this is the correct family.
Noah Litchfield,
son of Octavius, Locate Noah’s marriage record by
searching through Computer Printout of the Heage Chapelry found on FHL Fiche
6905205.
Hannah Green
Litchfield, wife of George Litchfield and
daughter-in-law of Octavius. I was unable to locate a death record for a Hannah
Litchfield in the Belper area. George
died in 1903 at the age of 41. Perhaps
Hannah remarried and had a different last name at the time of her death or
possibly she moved away. More research needs
to be done here.
Eliza Litchfield,
daughter of Octavius.
I have not been able to make positive identification yet as to whom
Eliza married. I believe it was Edward
Langton. I found several death records
for Eliza Jane Langton. My distant
cousin, Glenda Wright has her born in 1878, married to Edward Fardon and dying
in 1963.[56]
I have been unable to find a marriage record in the area for an Eliza
Litchfield to and Edward Fardon however I did find a record for an Eliza
Litchfield to an Edward Langton. Going
on the assumption that this record could be correct, I found a death record for
an Eliza Jane Langton who died 1841 at the age of 62 (making her birth date in
1879) in Belper.[57]
The possible birth records I have found have her born in 1877. So this death record is close. I need to order a copy of the marriage record
first to verify the Eliza Litchfield married to Edward Langton really is the
correct one.
1871 Birth:
Eliza Litchfield is born in March 1871. Her birth is recorded in Belper.[58] This is just an index, she might not belong
to this family or she might have died and the next daughter born in about 1877
was named Eliza. I need to find the birth
record of the Eliza Litchfield born in March 1871 to see who her parents were. It they are Octavious and Sarah, then I need to
find a death record for her before 1877 when their daughter Eliza was born.
Possibly - George
Litchfield, Son of Octavius: There
was an article in The Derby Mercury on 16 Sept 1891 about a George Litchfield,
a laborer, of Belper who helped a woman who was being assaulted. “An inquest
was held at the Seven Stars Inn, near Belper, on Saturday, respecting the death
of Joseph Shaw, miner, aged 32 years, who died on Thursday under very sad
circumstances. It was stated that
deceased went to the Seven Stars, about noon on Wednesday, and remained there
until six o’clock. He had drink, but he
conducted himself properly when in the house, though he was said by the
landlord to be a “little wee bit under the influence of beer.” The father of the deceased was also at the
house, he having gone about nine o’clock in the morning. It was Denby Wakes ___ and the men had a
holiday. About six at night the father
and son left the Seven Stars. As they
were going on the road a quarrel arose.
The son struck the father, who could not retaliate, he being too drunk
to resist or defend himself. The wife,
of the deceased man came up, and he struck her.
George Litchfield, a laborer, of Belper, took the part of the father and
wife. After the deceased had hit the
wife twice Litchfield protected her. The
deceased ran at her again, intending to strike her with a basket, but
Litchfield put out his hand to interpose.
Shaw ran against it, fell forward and alighted with his head on the
ground. He became insensible and died
the next day without having recovered consciousness. A post mortem examination
was made…”Death from effusion of blood on the brain, caused by an accidental
fall, and accelerated by drnk and excitement.”
Deceased leaves a wife and seven young children.” I am not sure where to look to figure out if
the George Litchfield mentioned in this article is Octavius’ son. One way to try and figure it out is to see
through the census records and city directories if there is more than one
George Litchfield in the area.
