Narrative and Notes

There are at least two candidates for the parents of Harriet FIRTH who married Robert ARCHIBALD in 1822.

The preferred couple is John and Hannah FIRTH who baptized a Harriet shortly after their marriage in 1801 in Ovenden.

John FIRTH of Ovenden, weaver married Hannah RAMSDEN of Ovenden, spinster on 7 Jun 1801 in St John the Baptist, Halifax. John signed his name. One of the witnesses was Thomas FIRTH (with the other appearing in many marriage records.) Hannah was born in Illingworth which is adjacent to Holdsworth.

John and Hannah FIRTH baptized twelve children between 1801 and 1823. This is supported by the fact that all twelve are baptized at Mount Zion Chapel near where they lived at Holdsworth, Ovenden near Halifax, and most of her girls (Lucy, Nancy, Hannah, Sarah Ann and Betty) are living with Hannah in 1841. By this time, her eldest, Harriet, was living in Blackburn.

In 1841, Hannah was not living with John and was described as being of independent means. Living nearby was Thomas FIRTH, a plasterer, aged 65, who could have been John's brother and the witness to his marriage.

But the couple appear together again in the 1851 census, still in Ovenden, living with daughter Hannah, a "cripple" aged 32, and Betty, 28, a power loom weaver (worsted). John is a hand loom weaver of worsted wool aged 69 from Northrowram and Hannah is aged 70 and from Ovenden.

The 1851 census record supports that John's parents were John FIRTH and Betty HOLDSWORTH who baptized a John in Northrowram in March 1782. This would make John 19 when he married Hannah RAMSDEN.

As he turned 70, John appears to have given up weaving and taken up as a plasterer, presumably assisting his eldest daughter's husband, Robert ARCHIBALD.

John died in the summer of 1854, aged 72, and was buried in Illingworth on 2 Aug 1852.
