Nancy MACHELL
1835 - ~1898
Housemaid of Sedbergh, Yorkshire
Narrative and Notes

Nancy was born in Sedbergh (which may have been just inside Yorkshire at the time) and christened on 31 October 1835 at Killington which is about 10km east of Kendal. She was the witness at her sister Elizabeth's wedding on 23 February 1864 in Edge Hill, Liverpool.

The 1851 Census of Kendal has Nancy living on Stricklandgate next door to her sister Jane working as a servant. Also in the house is a John SCOTT aged 16. This John SCOTT is probably the son (b.1835) of John and Isabella SCOTT and is not the John SCOTT who married Nancy's sister Elizabeth. He may, however, be a cousin of that John SCOTT.

In 1861 she is living with her aunt Agnes KENDAL on Edge Lane, West Derby working as a housemaid.

Subject: re thexton connection

Hi Barry, Gary Thexton sent me an email about your enquiry, i have left a note on thexton site but not sure if you have access? I am one of many, i guess- descendants of Edward and Jane Thexton (nee Machell although my records show it as Michael) my great granddfather Benjamin Wregg married their daughter Margaret 28th march 1872St Annes Church, Aigberth West Derby.My dad Benjamin Griffin Wregg is still alive aged 85 and lives near by on the Gold Coast near Brisbane Australia. His old scratched notes had mentioned that Jane was twice married and had asister Ann so it

is good to fill in the gap with your confirmation of this.Benjamin and margaret are listed by the way on 1881 census at Bentinck st Birkenhead where my G Grandfather had his workshop. I have Edward marrying Jane Machell dec 1/4

in GRO index vol 25 page 479 Edward died apparently in Kendall 26th feb 1849 aged 37. hope this helps .

It would be good to hear from you

regards

Steve Wregg
