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]
1861 Census: Caught George
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.
