On 4th January 1847 Rebecca gave birth illegitimately at Tomlinsons Yard to a girl who was baptised Ann Harby NICHOLSON

on the 7th January at Newark St Mary. The father’s name was entered in the Baptism Register as John HARBY.

John’s name is also recorded on Ann’s Birth Certificate, as a carter.

John HARBY is assumed to be the one bapt. 17th October 1819 at Stubton, Lincs.

This John died of Consumption 28th August 1847 at Stubton.

At the end of 1849 Rebecca married William COBB who was born in 1829 at Louth, Lincs. Their first daughter Elizabeth was

born at Tomlinson’s Yard on 1st December 1850, probably at Rebecca’s parent’s home.

In the 1851 Census, 30th March, William was an agricultural laborer and William and Rebecca were living at Cain’s Yard,

(formerly named Tomlinsons Yard) Castlegate, Newark, with Rebecca’s daughter Ann and their daughter Elizabeth aged 3 months.

George junior was a ‘Mill worker (cotton)’. Edward W was a bleacher and Richard Taylor was still at school.

A George BOOTH who died at Mansfield in 1890 aged 65 is probably Rebecca’s husband.

Ann Harby NICHOLSON AnnHarbyNICHOLSON01.jpg was born 4th Jan.1847 at Tomlinsons Yard, Castlegate, Newark, where her grandparents

John and Charlotte NICHOLSON lived. Ann was Baptised on the 7th of January at Newark, St Mary, the illegitimate daughter of Rebecca NICHOLSON and John HARBY.

John HARBY’s name was recorded in the Baptism Register and in Ann’s Birth Certificate but he and Rebecca didn’t marry.

Derbyshire, the son of John and Ann.

On the marriage certificate Samuel is a butler of 25 Rose Hill Street, Derby, aged 27. Ann is a domestic servant aged 27 of Rose Hill Street,

and names her father as William NICHOLSON, a sawyer. It appears that Ann was under the impression that she was born after her mother had married her

first husband William COBB. (by now her mother was married to George BOOTH).

Ann and Samuel had son Arthur in 1877 at 22 Darby Street, Derby and Elizabeth A in 1879 at Derby. They then moved to Shirley in Derbyshire near where S

amuel was born and Samuel became a shopkeeper. Their daughter Agnes was born there on the 10th of July 1880 and christened on the 20th of November 1880.

By the 3rd of April 1881 there son Arthur had already been put in the care of Ann’s sister Lizzie who had married William LUDLUM and lived at

East Retford in Nottinghamshire.

It is said that Samuel had consumption and he died at Shirley on the 30th of July 1881.

After Samuel died Anne and her children moved to E Retford where her sister Lizzie LUDLUM lived in Dominie Cross Road. In 1891 Anne and her 3 children were
