ILLNESS OF FAMOUS SPRINTER.
James Carlan, of Sheffield, the famous sprint runner, is still lying in a dangerous condition, in No 3A Ward of the Withington Hospital, near Manchester, suffering from paralysis of both legs. Carlan writes us that he would be extremely glad if any of his old friends could furnish him with the address of any of his relatives.

(another article on him refers to him 'having a wife, and five little children'...
was seen in Crumpsall Infirmary, near Manchester, lying in a bed, suffering from paralysis of lower part of body, with both legs being useless. He had once jumped clean over Hyde Park wall, Sheffield. The doctors were to order an electropathic belt, but he had no funds to purchase)

I thought that about his occupation how did you find his occupation on the marriage certificate?

No matter what is found They don't want us to find them in 1881 I've had a word with a relative she doesn't know anything as the families didn't get on so they had nothing to do with them

Thank you for all your time and help but I think it will stay a mystery

The James in the workhouse in 1891 (mentioned in Sylann's OP ) is a licensed victualler.

Different man ? - or just one who changed his occupation frequently ?

It doesn't say they stopped his sick pay.

It sounds as if he had been their treasurer , or in a similar position of trust, and had either resigned or been sacked.

Or maybe some sort of insurance agent, going house to house to collect money??

Sylann

Sylann Report 26 Aug 2019 13:35

Not to sure about the birth That is the one I've seen but that means she would have been15 when she married and her fathers name is James Sylvester Carlan I think this person has gone for this birth because the mothers name is Elizabeth Purcell

That about the sick pay is good so we have his address for 1888
Why would they stop his pay ? he died in 1891

Thank you for your help

Thank you for all that I have most of it If Maria was born 1880 she would have been 19 when married which is ok but still not found a birth their is one in Sheffield? 1884 which would make her 15 when married
This is why I wanted the 1881 census to see how many children they had and their ages
The marriage is right the tree that corrected the name on census is a relation but she hasn't got them in 1881

Thank you for trying
