Hi Tenerife Sun, Never will have enough of the Pitchforths,,, Herbert Lynch Pitchforth married Anne Elizabeth Jeffries and had 3 sons, but Anne Jeffries had an illegitimate daughter Fanny Verona Jeffries, (my nan) and was bought up by Anne's parents Thomas Jeffries and Matilda Price as their daughter, I have tried to locate Herbert and Anne's Pitchforths grandchildren , and would love to know if they knew my nan exsisted.. I too enjoy researching but must admit not very good at it after a few years of trying .Thank you for helping me with the Pitchforths Can you find anything on them after the 1911 census til to date ? :-D

No relation at all, sorry, I just love research.

Have you got all you want on the Pitchforths now?

many thanks for your research Tenerife Sun...may I ask are you related to the Pitchforths ?

I would love to thank everyone for all this information,

Liverpool Mercury Saturday 2nd August 1890

A Birkdale Bankcrupycy Annulled
At the Livrpool Count Court yesterday, before judge Collier, an application was made by Mary Ann Pitchforth, widow, lodging house keeper at Birkdale, for annulment of her bankruptcy. The failure took place on 6th May 1887. Recently, through the death of her mother, she had come into possession under her fathers will of certain property in which her mother had a life long interest and the official reciever had paid the creditors 20s in the £1 and 4% interest. Mr Mather representing Messrs Smallshaw of Southport supported the application and there was no opposition. His honour made the order.

Name: Herbert Lynch Pitchforth
Birth Date: 2 May 1870
Parish: Halifax, St John the Baptist
Baptism Date: 1 Sep 1872
Father's Name: Pitchforth
Mother's Name: Mary Ann Pitchforth

Original only has Mary Ann on says 'married woman' but no mention of a father.

Mary Ann also had a son Herbert Lynch Pitchforth who was 11 months on the 1871 census.

Daughter Elizabeth's probate...9th May1883. Administration of the estate of Elizabeth Lynch Pitchforth late of Birkdale, Southport in the county of Lancashire, spinster who died 8th January1883 in Birkdale was granted at the Principle Resistry office to Mary Ann Pitchforth of 131 Eastbourne Road Birkdale. Widow, the mother and only next of kin. £1526.6s 6d

She was born 27th January 1860 so nearly 23 when she died so did she inherit money from her father but I can't find probate for him.

Mary Ann Pitchforth of 114 Cemetery Road Southport Lancashire, widow, died 22nd February 1898 administration 30th January 1899 Liverpool to James David Lynch Pitchforth cab driver £15.5s.4d.

His children's baptisms:

Huddersfield Chronicle - 23 June 1860

TO TRADESMEN AND OTHERS

I, Aquila Pitchforth of Elland, near Halifax in the county of York, draper and hosier, do hereby give notice that from this date, I WILL NOT be RESPONSIBLE for any DEBTS my wife Mary Ann Pitchforth may incur, having left my house without just cause or reason, and against my consent.
Dated the 20th day of June, AQUILA PITCHFORTH
Witness: William Lawton, Huddersfield.

Well done M C hope the poster comes back to see your find

The Huddersfield Chronicle of 01 September 1855 carries an article (too long to retype here) about an apprentice, Aquila Pitchforth who was struck by his master John Fox, a linen draper.

Aquila had been his apprentice for 4 years and seems to have had a history of insolence. He and Fox had words and Fox struck him about the face several times (he'd hit a servant once before).

The following is coming up in a search of the archives for 1860 but having trouble finding the actual article

""Mary Ann Pitchforth may incur she tlr ¦ - Smy Wlfe Pitchiorth, having left and' «C^yto\£wX&*£2 cause or reason, and against my consent ° UtjUBt Dated the 20th day of J une, 1 860. ' vru «,•„• t AQUILA PITCHFORTH Witness— William Lawton, Huddersfield. &alt*""#

EDIT: See below for transcript

In 1871 he was a lodger, married and a retired draper. I wonder where wife Mary Ann was.
