John Coatsworth (1836-1908)

John Coatsworth (1836-1908) was born at Middleton in Teesdale. He started adult life as a lead miner and later a copper miner but then like several other members of his family he became a grocer. By the time he died he described himself as a gentleman and left over £6,600 including nearly sixty properties (most in Lingdale) in his will.

He married Martha Collinson (1841-1901)
who was born at Wemmergill Hall, Lunedale.

John and Martha married at Middleton in Teesdale on 11th July 1861 and had seven children,
Sarah Ann (b. Kirkby Ravensworth 1862-1883)
Mary (b. Kirkby Ravensworth 1863) who married William Oliver
Elizabeth (b. Crook 1866 - 1923) who married Edwin George Rowland
Isabella (b. Guisborough 1871 - before 1881)
Thomas (b. Lingdale 1874) who married Mabel Kerr

His widow, Annie moved to 15, Dale Terrace (1891 census) as noted on your road list.
His son John Stevens continued to live at this address after his mother's death (1901 census)
he was also killed in Lingdale mine on 19.11.1907 leaving a wife and 4 young children.

Minnie, Arthur and Ida Russell

Quick family tree... Freda is daughter of Bill Hill and Ida Hill. Brothers were Norman, Alan, Harry and Aubrey. Bill died very suddenly in 1964, and Ida died about 1982. Bill was a miner, I think finishing at Kilton, maybe about 1960.

Photograph kindly contributed by Mike Smith.

Where? Help Please

Here is an old photo which I believed to belong to one of my ancestors, who lived in Lingdale...but can't be exactly sure. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind posting it to see if anybody recognises it?

family tree uploaded to Rootsweb pages

any living relatives are shown but not named

Martha Coatsworth (nee Collinson)

The photo is of Wemmergill Hall, Middleton-in-Teesdale where Martha Collinson (John Coatsworth's wife) was born. I believe the Hall was demolished in the 1920s.

I have been very interested to read the information supplied by Shirley John about John Coatsworth & family. The Coatsworths were our great grandparents.
Our grandparents were their daughter Mary Coatsworth (d 1953) & William Oliver (d 1947) who lived in Westgate, Guisborough. William was only allowed two days leave from his work for the wedding so they married on Christmas Day 1897 to have a four day honeymoon! Their children were John Coatsworth (1900-1957), Martha Winnifred 1901-1994) & William Ewart (1903-1983.
Minnie Coatsworth married Arthur Plews, a grocer in Westgate, Guisborough. They had five children Graham (who was killed in North Africa during WW2), Arthur (a long time employee of Reckitt & Coleman), Minnie & twins Norman & Nora.

Gordon Coatsworth Oliver

Levi Coatsworth

I am curious to learn about Levi Coatsworth in this photograph.
It is annotated, P O Box 101, Coatsworth, Kent County, Ontario & he is shown on the Canadian 1881 census as having been born in England in 1815.

Gordon Coatsworth Oliver

Dear Gordon Oliver

I am pleased or rather hopeful to say after a fair amount of digging, I have found the connection between our two branches. This was all prompted by the photo of Levi Coatsworth that you posted on the Lingdale website. I recognized the name immediately as it was one of my great great uncles (if there is such a thing). But I could not have said who he was in relation to the Lingdale Coatsworth's without the information and photos that you forwarded me. With those I was able to cross reference Eva M Coatsworth book 'The Descendants of Thomas Coatsworth and Mary Bainbridge' and find the connection.
Here is the gist of it:
Thomas (married in 1692) and Mary had three sons:
John, William, and Joseph. William (1695) had three sons: William (1720), Joseph (1725) and John (1729). William is the great great grandfather of Levi and John is the great great grandfather of Mary Coatsworth (daughter of John), who married William Oliver -- your grandparents, I believe.
Levis' grandfather Robert (my g g g granddad) and his three brothers emigrated from Northumberland around 1817 on the same boat. Two settled in Buffalo to have great success in the milling business (you can google Thomas and see his mansion there), and the other two settled near here on the shores of Lake Erie, Ontario, Canada - a village that is still called 'Coatsworth'.
Levi was born 1854 to a family of eleven children - he never married; was a carpenter and builder and poet. He built the veranda around my father's house for my great grandfather - they would have been cousins. And we still use two tables he constructed. He did return to England to visit his extended family, as many of us still do, although it is much easier now, and I suppose the photograph you have is the fruit of just such a visit. He died in 1931 and is buried twelve miles away from where I write in Chatham Ontario.

Sincerely Tom Coatsworth
Blenheim Ont. Canada
