Patrick Litchfield baptized 28 Aug 1828

Patrick Litchfield, 7th Child of Godfrey and Lucy Litchfield

1828 Birth: Patrick was baptized 28 Aug 1828 in Belper.  His family was living in Heage where is father was farming.[1]
1841 Census: Patrick (12) was record on this census in Crich at the home of George and Mary Bowmer.[2] 
1851 Census: Patrick (22) is unmarried, lodging at #50 Green Lane in Derby and working as a chandler.[3]
1853 Marriage: Patrick Litchfield married Eleanor Clifford at St. Peters Church, Derbyshire, England in 1853.[4]
1855 Birth: George Litchfield[5]
1856 Birth: Sarah Jane Litchfield[6]
1856 Baptisms: George Litchfield and his sister Sarah Jane, children of Patrick and Eleanor, were both baptized 31 Oct 1856 at St Peter’s Church in Belper, Derbyshire, England.  The family was living on Bag Lane.  Patrick’s occupation was “Rupublican”.[7]  George was probably the older sibling since the index for his birth certificate is dated for 1855 while Sarah’s is dated for 1856.
1861 Census: Patrick (32) living in Derby on Bag Lane with wife Eleanor (30), son George (5) and daughter Sarah Jani (4).  His occupation is “Publican”.[8]
1861 Census: Clara Litchfield[9] I could not find any references to Clara in the parish research that I have conducted so far.
1862 Death: George Litchfield (need to be researched if this is the right one)
1871 Census: Patrick (43) living in Leeds and working as a “Tallow Chandler”.  His wife Eleanor (40), daughter Sarah Jane (14) and daughter Clara (11) are living there as well.  Eleanor’s occupation is dress maker, Sarah is a weaver and Clara is in school.[10]
1881 Census: Eleanor (50) widowed, is living at 36 Cross Stamford St, Leeds, Yorkshire, with Sarah Jane (24) and Clara Louisa (16).  Eleanor and her daughters are working as dress makers.[11]
1891 Census: Sarah Jane Litchfield Robinson (34) living with husband Henry Robinson in Leeds, Yorkshire and child Florence (4).[12]
1901 Census: Eleanor Litchfield (70) living in Leeds, Yorkshire with her married daughter Clara L Towle and son-in-law Allan Towle.[13]
1911 Census: Eleanor Litchfield (80) living in Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire with her married daughter Clara L Towle and son-in-law Allan Towle.[14]

Recommendations:
·        Search FHL British film 952280[15] for the baptism record for Eleanor Clifford, Patrick’s wife, born in Kegworth, Leicestershire, between 1825 and 1831.
·        George Litchfield.  I am unclear who George married.  He could have first married Annie Maria Green at St Peter’s Church in Belper, Derbyshire, England in 1890.[16] 
·        Six years later a George Litchfield married Martha Pidcock in Belper at the Baptist Chapel.[17]  Four year after that marriage, in 1900, I found another marriage record for a George Litchfield to Sarah Ann Shaw also in Belper.[18]
·        Sarah Jane Litchfield most likely married William Thomas Campbell, 1899 in Northamptionshire.[19]
·        Clara Litchfield.  A Clara Edith Litchfield married Walter West in 1927 at St Helen’s Church, Pinxton, Derbyshire.[20]  This record needs to be verified.  See Recommendations Section.
·        Patrick Litchfield, son of Godfrey.  Find the marriage record for Patrick and Eleanor.  Search British fiche 6905205 for extracted information on Heage Parish registers.[21]  The information on the microfiche should point me toward a film to find the original document.
·        George Litchfield, son of Patrick, grandson of Godfrey.  Find the three marriage records for George Litchfield. Search British fiche 6905205 for extracted information on Heage Parish registers.[22]  The information on the microfiche should point me toward a film to find the original document.  I may have to order the marriage certificates through the General Registrars Office to figure out who each George Litchfield is on the three marriage records.
·        Clara Litchfield, daughter of Patrick, granddaughter of Godfrey.  I searched for marriage records in the Family History Library Catalogue.  The available records end in 1908.  This marriage record will need to be ordered through the General Registrars Office.
·        Eleanor Clifford Litchfield. No record of her death has been found yet.
·        Patrick Litchfield. I found a death record for a Patrick Litchfield in 1880.[23]  The age at time of death fits Patrick’s birth year however, this record shows he died in Nottinghamshire instead of Yorkshire where the family had been living for more than ten years.  My family records state he died about 1898.  Patrick is listed in 1882 on his daughter Sarah Jane’s marriage record.  It does not say he is deceased.  However, the 1881 census record lists his wife Eleanor as a widow.  This death date needs further research.  Perhaps if I ordered the death record, it would reveal more information.
·        George Litchfield, son of Patrick. A George Litchfield, age 7, died in 1862 in Derby St Peter, Derbyshire, England.[24]  This record needs to be researched further to see if this George is the son of Patrick and Eleanor.
·        Sarah Jane Litchfield Robinson, daughter of Patrick. I found a record for a Sarah J Robinson who died at the age of 74 in Leeds North, Yorkshire West Riding, England.[25]  This information all fits but I know there were several Sarah Robinsons in the area.  I would like to order this death record to see if I can positively identify this is the correct person. 
·        Clara Litchfield Towle, daughter of Patrick.  I found a record for a Clara Towle, age 54, who died sometime Jul – Sept 1918 in Basford, Nottinghamshire.[26]  I am suspicious of this record because in 1911, Clara was living in Cleesthrope, Lincolnshire.  I need to check these two locations on a map to see how far apart they are.  This death record should be ordered to see what further information it might contain.
