eviltaxman Posted 31 January , 2009 Share Posted 31 January , 2009 Peter, Ancestry is down at the moment, but I've checked CWGC (as I assume you have) and he isn't listed.... but given the unusual name there is a Martin Tarlington of the 1st Btn Royal Lancs that is listed..... maybe related? If so, per SDGW he was born in Widnes and enlisted in Barrow. Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphjd Posted 31 January , 2009 Share Posted 31 January , 2009 Peter, Only two by this name on Freebmd one born Bradford Yorkshire in 1887 the other born Prescot 1886 all others are either too old or too young. Ralph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apwright Posted 31 January , 2009 Share Posted 31 January , 2009 The one born in Prescott in 1886 was living at 10 Cromwell St, Widnes, in 1891 with parents John & Catherine and sister Margaret. Can't find them easily in 1901, but in 1911 they're at 56 Wellington St, Widnes.

Peter Bennett Posted 31 January , 2009 Author Share Posted 31 January , 2009 Thanks everyone It could be either the Bradford or the Prescot man, do we know when they died (obviously not CWGC as above) I am looking for what MAY possibly be a non-com.

soldier75 Posted 1 February , 2009 Share Posted 1 February , 2009 Peter, I appreciate that he is not the man you are looking for, but he is very ikely to be the brother and son of the two John`s you are researching, Wellington St is next to Cromwell Street in Widnes and you say that one was born in Prescot, he was registered in Prescot, not born, at the time that was where you registered a birth etc... What other info do you have on the other John`s Harry Thanks Harry but it is the two "Johns" I need the info on Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What other info do you have on the other John`s Harry Harry I appreciate your help but the man is listed as having died in 1914 on three seperate memorials in Dewsbury, hence I am leaning towards the Bradford man who is likely to have connections.

apwright Posted 2 February , 2009 Share Posted 2 February , 2009 I *think* this is the John TARLINGTON born in Bradford in Q2 1887: Name: TARLETON, JOHN Initials: J Nationality: United Kingdom Rank: Private Regiment/Service: Yorkshire Regiment Unit Text: 2nd Bn. Date of Death: 03/11/1914 Service No: 7605 Additional information: Brother-in-law of Mr. E. Jolly, of 29, Wilberforce St., Laisterdyke, Bradford. Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead Grave/Memorial Reference: III. A. 35. Cemetery: BOULOGNE EASTERN CEMETERY http://www.cwgc.org/search/casualty_detail...?casualty=46004 The family was pretty "loose" with the spelling of their surname... Here's the TARLINGTON family in 1891 (all children born in Bradford district): 22 Regent St, Manningham, Bradford John, Head, 40, Worsted Mill Hand, b Ireland Elizabeth, Wife, 38, Wool Mill Hand, b Dublin (John TARLETON m Elizabeth DONNELLY in Bradford Q4 1871) Patrick, Son, 19, Labourer (born TARLETON Q3 1872) William, Son, 17, Worsted Spinner (born TARLETON Q4 1874) Mary E, Dau, 15, Worsted Spinner (Mary Ellen born TARLETON Q4 1875, married (as TARLTON) Q1 1905) Lucy, Dau, 14 (born TARLINGTON Q2 1877, married (as TARLINGTON) Q3 1902) Charlotte, Dau, 12 (Charlotte Ann born TARLETON Q4 1878, married (as TARLINGTON) Joseph CLARKE Q3 1899) Christopher, Son, 10 (born TARLINGTON Q1 1882, married (as TARLETON) Elizabeth RICHARDSON Q2 1906, died (as TARLETON) Q1 1912 age 30. Elizabeth, Dau, 8 (born TARLETON Q3 1883, married (as TARLETON) Q3 1906) John, Son, 6 (age not quite right, but almost certainly the 1887 John TARLINGTON, as twin daughters were born in 1885 who died in infancy!) Sarah, Dau, 3 (born TARLATON Q4 1888, married (as TARLETON) Q1 1909) Another daughter Margaret was born in Q3 1891 whose birth was registered twice, as TARLINGTON and as TARLETON. The family is TARLINGTON on the 1881 census (at 2 Summer St, Bradford). In 1911 the family is TARLETON, living at 12 King St, Bradford, although only John jr and Margaret are still at home with mum & dad. John TARLETON married Coletta JOLLY (see CWGC NoK info) in Bradford in Q4 1913. A son William TARLETON was born in Q2 1914. After John's death, Coletta remarried in Q2 1918 (to Francois DE SMECHT), but sadly seems to have died giving birth to a child Clemence, who also died, in Bradford in Q4 1918. I think the son William died in Blackpool in 1991. There is no obvious connection to Dewsbury, as far as I can see, but maybe one of John's brothers or sisters ended up living there in the 1920s. FreeBMD shows no birth/marriage/death registrations for any TARLINGTON/TARLETON/TARLATON etc. in Dewsbury at all! Hope this helps! Adrian EDIT: Someone on Ancestry has this TARLINGTON/TARLETON family on their family tree (as TARLETON). Want me to contact them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
