This was a family which seemed to be in some difficulty by the time of the 1861 census, perhaps occasioned by the early deaths of John and Elizabeth (née Tetlow). Their young children, Alfred (1856-?) and Joe (1857-1936), were at the time of the 1861 census living with their Tetlow grandparents in the Village, Northowram. Both went on to marry. From these small beginnings this grouping had grown to six entries in the 1911 census. There is no evidence of Alfred or his wife, Sarah, but Joe and his, Clara, have both survived to the 1911 census. In fact, it is Joe and Clara’s family of three children who are five of the six entries. Joe and Clara are still living in Halifax, Yoirkshire. The other entry in the 1911 census from this grouping is young Alfred (1901-1958), aged 9, who is shown to be in an institution. However, with two lads – Walter (1891-1929) and Luther (1895-1972) – in their teens, there is scope for the survival of this grouping.
Alfred (1856-?) married Sarah Scott (1854-?) in Halifax in 1875. Alfred and Sarah 158
