I am hoping someone might be able to tell me the correct parents names for my Ann Harrison born 1803 died 1/5/188 at Derbyshire who married Joseph Blackham 20/8/1821 at Wirksworth

I have her parents as John Harrison born abt 1763 died 1847 & Ann Hunt born abt 1764 died 1/4/1844 all at Derbyshire

I have found some people have her parents as Thomas Harrison born 1780 Derby & mother Mary Dickinson born 1781 Wilne

Thank you for any assistance

a long way from heage

Is this the John and Ann you say are her parents.

Whilst relationships aren't given on the 1841 census, Mary could possibly be a daughter and therefore a sister (or she could have been dau-in-law). Have you been able to track her ?

The deaths you mention.

You say they died in Belper - are you meaning they actually died in Belper or in the Belper Registration District which includes Heage

It's more likely I would have thought that they died at Heage if that is them in 1841

Don't know if Derek is still available to help. May just be that his thread slid down the boards and it's been forgotten about. Have a look at it and perhaps click on his name to send a personal message including the url to this thread. Could also add to his thread in case he keeps a watch on it.

Not helping with the question but a really sad story in the papers.


Mr. Mozley, Coroner. —On the 17th instant, at Belper, on the body of Mimer Blackham, aged 17. She was the daughter of Joseph Blackham, of Toadmoor, in the township of Heage, and lived with her parents, and, on the evening of the 22nd of October last, she ....'
27 November 1846 - Derbyshire Advertiser and Journal - Derby, Derbyshire, England


Basically on the 22nd of Oct, she was sent to Belper by her father to buy nails but these were stolen from her. She was so upset she told her father they were not ready and she would collect them the next day. She told her sister they had been stolen and she was going to pay for replacements 'as she could.'
But her father went the next morning to collect the nails and she was seen running towards the river Derwent. Her apron was found on the bank and her body was found 2 miles downstream on the 17th Nov. She was believed to have thrown herself in the river 'from apprehension of the anger of her father.'

What an incredibly sad end to her life, poor girl.



Ann Blackham, was charged by Joseph Blackham, her husband with threatening to run him through with a fork at Todmore, Ambergate. The couple have been married 56 years, the husband being 75 years of age, the wife 73. case dismissed.
29 September 1875 - Derby Mercury - Derby, Derbyshire, England

Oh that is so sad her father must have been a horrible nasty man, she was called Maria born 1829 at Heage Derbyshire thank you Alviegal

According to John Harrison's probate documentation he died on 4 Mar 1847. His Will states that he was of Toadmore (sic) and his occupation was Nailor. He left everything to his Spinster daughter, Mary presumably because she most probably looked after her parents into their 80s and hence that is why she died wealthy. Sadly, there is no mention of any other children.
