Descendants of James HAYNES of Brinklow, Warwickshire

James Haynes consistently gives his place of birth as Brinklow in Warwickshire and his marriage certificate names his father as Thomas, but I have not been able to find him in the Brinklow parish record index or transcript. There is also no trace of him in the censuses before 1871 so his origins are proving elusive.

(Jonathan) James HAYNES and Sarah BRADSHAW

The earliest records of James HAYNES uncovered so far are his marriage certificate with Sarah Bradshaw and the 1871 census where they living in Sheffield and gives his occupation as engine driver. There are two children living with them:

• Mary E MUGELTON (b1869, Callan Bridge), niece. This is the daughter of Sarah's (deceased) sister Elizabeth.
• Ann J HAYNES (b1859, Ashby-de-la-Zouche). This is actually Sarah's daughter, Jane Ann BRADSHAW. In 1861 Sarah (recorded as daughter-in-law, unmarried) and Jane Ann (recorded as granddaughter) were living with Edward and Eliza GENT in Smisby, Derbyshire - Edward is recorded marrying an Eliza Bradshaw in 1856 and is Sarah's mother remarrying.

In 1881 James and Sarah have moved to Derbyshire and are living at 18 Craven Row, Nether Green, Unstone, with:

• Mary E HAYNES (The same Mary E as in 1871, but now taking the HAYNES surname).
• Ernest (b1873, Unstone, Derbyshire).
• Jonathan Edward (b1876, Unstone, Derbyshire).
• Alfred Richard (1880-1883).

Also, Jane Ann is married in 1881 and also seems to have had an illegitimate daughter:

In 1891 and 1901, James is an inmate at the Chesterfield Workhouse. In 1891 Sarah is still in Unstone with sons Ernest and Jonathan.

The family story is that Ernest and Jonathan went to work for the Duke of Devonshire (8th Duke 1833-1908) at Chatsworth House. They had an accident with one of the Duke's horses, which they shouldn't have been riding, and the horse had to be put down. As a result they left Chatsworth house and moved to Leicester. This would have happened between 1891 when they were still living in Unstone, and 1901 when they were living in Leicester. There is no trace of any Haynes in the employment records of Chatsworth House for this period, which sheds some doubt on the accuracy of this story.

Ernest HAYNES and Eliza GRADY

Jonathan Edward (Ted) HAYNES and Edith HEMSLEY

Jonathan was a carpenter and wagon builder. Edith HEMSLEY's father was a carpenter and joiner, so it is likely that they met through business.

The Haynes children in about 1914. Back row L to R: Edith, Alfred, Evelyn, Herbert Front L to R: Ethel, Ernest, Vera.

Research Notes

James HAYNES consistently gives his place of birth as Brinklow, although in 1871 and 1881 (living with wife Sarah) he gives his age as being born about 1825, whereas in 1891 and 1901 (living in Chesterfield Union Workhouse) he give it as being born about 1819. This would suggest that while living with his wife he adjusted his age to reduce the large difference between them, however, his death certificate in 1903 gives an age of 78 which supports the 1825 date.

The IGI contains parish records for Brinklow and the surrounding villages and there is no trace of James's birth, and none of the HAYNES families living in the area seem to be suitable candidates.

The Freeholders of Warwich lists a Thomas HAYNES in Brinklow who does not seem to appear in the IGI records indicating they are not complete. I cannot find any other record of this Thomas.
