Introduction
Charles Wolstenholme Sutcliffe was born, in 1820, the son of a
Leeds millworker, at the height of the textile boom that was to
fundamentally transform Leeds and its environs during the course of
the nineteenth century. As a typical child of a working class Leeds
family in the early nineteenth century, it is likely that by the age of
nine or ten, Charles was already employed in one of the many textile
mills in and around Leeds1. Indeed, Jane Coldwell Sutcliffe2 tells us he
was at one time employed to wipe down the engines his father
maintained.
Then one day, in the early '40s, with English society wallowing in
the unease inflicted by the dawn of the industrial revolution, he heard
the siren call of America, a land of promise and plenty and a future
dictated only by his own hand. Over the strenuous objections of his
family, in 1844 he signed on with the British Temperance Emigration
Society3, one of many such organizations feeding the wildfire of
emigration sweeping the British Isles, and, less than a year later 4
boarded the SS Petersburg5 for America and his new home in
Wisconsin6.
1 Though child labor laws existed in England, in the early 19 th century there were largely
unenforced. Children working in textile factories often worked more than twelve hours per
day. The first effective child labor law was passed in 1833, banning children under nine
from working in textile factories. Children between the ages of nine and thirteen were not
allowed to work more than twelve hours per day and forty eight hours per week and were
required to have two hours of instruction per day, while those between thirteen and
eighteen (as Charles was) could work no more than sixty nine hours per week, with no
mandatory education.

Arena in Iowa County, at what is now the intersection of Highway K and Roelke Road; a
chicken coop now stands where Charles' house once was, on the north side of Roelke,
xi
But in the 1840s, Wisconsin was wilderness territory, in every sense a
world away from the urban factory life to which Charles was accustomed.
Charles found primitive farm life in Wisconsin immeasurably harder that he
had imagined, and, so Jane Coldwell Sutcliffe tells us 7, spent many nights on
his rough-hewn bed crying himself to sleep in loneliness and separation from
all that he had known. But he persevered. Within two years of his arrival he
was married, and then the children came, until Wisconsin had become home
indeed. His homestead became a favored spot for cricket matches, of which
the Dover community was very fond8. He was elected Justice of the Peace.
And he eventually prospered sufficiently to purchase additional properties.
And then at last, twenty eight years after landing in Boston, Charles
returned to England to visit the family he had left behind. From July through
September, 1873, Charles sojourned in and around Leeds with those of his
family that remained and this journal, rich in genealogical information and
Charles' impressions of the changes the years had wrought on the world of
his youth, preserves the details of that visit.
The Manuscript
I initially discovered this manuscript in the family papers of my maternal
grandmother, Edna (Gefke) Culver, a grand-daughter of Charles' by his
daughter Henrietta (Sutcliffe) Gefke. Unfortunately, little is known of the
manuscript itself, beyond the mere fact of its existence. It had been in my
grandmother's possession for several decades at least, and indeed I had been
allowed to view it once or twice myself when a child, though at the time its
value was beyond my childish comprehension. Where and how my
grandmother came by it cannot now be determined.
Passenger lists for the SS Olympia show Charles, Thomas Hodkinson,
Mary Ann and her two children, arriving at New York on 16 October 1873;
and indeed, Jane Coldwell Sutcliffe's write-up9 states that Charles left
Liverpool on 30 September. This being the case, the manuscript we have
here is significantly reduced, breaking off abruptly as it does on September
about 300 yards west of Hwy K.

8 Wolf, Frank, ibid., p. 138.
9 There was, in 1932, a Sutcliffe family reunion, held at Prairie du Sac, Wisconsin, at which Jane
Coldwell Sutcliffe, daughter-in-law of Charles, presented a paper entitled "A Tribute To Charles W.
Sutcliffe and Wife Sarah Ann Blakey Sutcliffe”. In this write-up, she speaks of Charles' visit to
England, and states “he left Liverpool for America his home on September 30, 1873, and got to
Mazomanie October 18.” While Jane does not directly credit her sources, the level of detail she
provides at a date so far removed from the events strongly suggests she was working from written
sources – perhaps even this journal itself.

2nd, more than six weeks before the end of his travels.
The manuscript itself consists of approximately forty hand-written pages,
numbered consecutively on the back. The first fifteen pages, encompassing
entries from June 28 to July 25, were written in a black ink which has faded
some with time. The remainder of the journal, from July 26 to September 2,
appears to be written in the same hand as the first part, but in a darker blue
ink which the years have better preserved. The consistency of the hand, of
the ink, and of the paper, all point to the fact that this is a copy, not the
original, probably executed in no more than a few sittings.
The paper on which the copy is written is well-preserved, being in much
better condition than a number of Charles' other documents also preserved
in the Family Papers. The handwriting itself is in a style known as
“copperplate”, typically taught to schoolchildren of the 18 th and 19th centuries.
But while this tells us that the manuscript probably predates the 1920s, it
does no more to help us determine the hand that wrote it as the only known
extant sample of Charles' handwriting is the signature on his will, dated
1875.
Of greater interest is the date scrawled at the top of the first page. If we
take this to be the date on which this copy was executed it becomes easy to
imagine the manuensis was indeed Charles himself; indeed, if the year reads
“1873”, then the manuscript may have been written, or at least begun, aboard
ship as Charles was returning from England.
The handwriting is for the most part clear and easy to read; there are
only a few places where words were hard to guess, and these were more
often due to spelling inconsistencies or the ignorance of the editor (me) than
to lack of clarity.
The manuscript was in my possession only briefly. When I relocated to
Taiwan, I gave it into the possession of my cousin, Jo MacDonald, of Mount
Horeb, Wisconsin. In the summer of 2004, on a visit back home, I digitized
the entire collection. It is from these images that this work was created.
Charles himself seems to have had little use for punctuation, and at times
his journal runs on for a page or more with neither paragraph nor period in
sight. As an editor, the only liberties I have taken with the transcription are
the insertion of some punctuation in an attempt to somewhat smooth out the
reading, and in a few cases the correction of some rather novel spellings.

An 1870 map (north is right) shows Charles Sutcliffe’s original
homestead, at what is now the intersection of Hwy K and Roelke Rd. in
Ridgeway Township, plus smaller property purchased subsequently.
Two smaller holdings northwest of Arena also bear the name “C.
Sutcliff”. The faded remains of once-thriving Dover lie just past the
map's right edge, and the Blakey property borders Charles' on the east.

Travels from America to England
June 28 1873 Started
this morning with my
family to Mazomanie in
the Waggon. Left
Mazomanie on the
train11 for Chicago. God
bless me and the Dear
ones I leave behind. Had
a pleasant passage
there; got in about 7
o'clock PM, found Mrs. The 1857 Mazomanie Train Depot as it appeared ca. 1920. Today
it serves as the community library.
Borwells12, stayed all
night.
June 29 Thunder and rain this morning. Got up half past 6 o'clock.
Took a walk to the river before breakfast. Then went around town till
dinner time and spent a little time in a Sunday School. Saw Joah
B[orwell?]13. At noon went to see the largest [illeg] the Pacific Hotel 14 in
Chicago. In the evening went to the Methodist Episcopal Church 15,16, a
10 Or “1878”.
11 The village of Mazomanie was platted in 1855 shortly after the location was selected as
the site for a train depot by the Milwaukee & Mississippi Line (renamed in 1874 the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul), which was busily extending its line from its current
terminus in Madison across the state to the Mississippi River. The first depot was built in
1855, at what is now 102 Brodhead St., but was destroyed by fire and rebuilt in 1857. It is
at this second depot that Charles would have caught his train.
12 While the Borwells here cannot be positively identified, it is apparent they are known to
Charles. It is worth noting that the 1870 US census finds a Joseph and Martha Borwell
family in Arena, Wisconsin, and that this same, or a remarkably similar, family appears in
Chicago at the 1880 census.
13 The writing has been obscured somewhat by a fold in the manuscript, but appears to be
a name. The first name and last initial are almost certainly “Joah B”. It is only speculation
that “Joah B” might be Joseph Borwell.
14 Located on Quincy Street in downtown Chicago, The Grand Pacific Hotel was just
nearing completion in 1871 when it was destroyed in the Great Chicago Fire. It was
subsequently rebuilt.
15 Though raised in the Anglican Church, in America Charles and Sarah, like most of their
fellow immigrants, became ardent supporters of Primitive Methodism.
16 Founded in 1831, The First Methodist Episcopal Church, now the First United Methodist
Church (aka the “Chicago Temple”), has been located at what is now 77 West Washington
Street in downtown Chicago since 1838. The building was destroyed in the Great Chicago
23
house well filled and very
warm. Went home after service
to Mr. Borwells Mr. Howard
Borwell17 & Hodkinson18 along
with me.
June 30 A fine morning.
Went around town till half past
10. Thomas and Jack the little
Englishman19 got to Borwells
[illeg – tired?]. Saw great
sights: Teams and people on a
[illeg – lump?] scarcely room to

stir. Saw some splendid
buildings. Took train at 5 o'clock for Detroit. Changed cars and got on the
wrong line and went on to Niagra Falls. Had to pay $5.50 for our blunder.
Before reaching the falls there was a smash up so we had to back out to get
the cars and debris from off the track which kept us behind time all the way
to New York. We again took our own train in evening and kept them till we
landed in New York. The track being crowded on both sides of us, which
made it very dangerous in the night.
Landed in New York about 8 or 9 o'clock on Wednesday the 2nd day of
July. 12 o'clock noon started to sail for England. Got dinner 2 o'clock hoisted
sail. Ever so many women vomiting. Nearly perished for hunger before
dinner; had nothing to eat since last night on the train. We had quite a job
with the landsharks but we came off victorious. They were determined to
shave us but they did not. A good many sick. Blowing the whistle every few
miles so thick is the fog.
Thursday [July] 3rd 8 o'clock morning had a good night's sleep. My head
very dizzy. The wind blowing pretty freely from the southwest. Are going 8
or 9 knots per hour. A good many sick. Whistling every few minutes so thick
is the fog. We are going along nicely. Thomas in his bed quite a while today.
No sunshine, very cold and damp; a vessel passed quite near us in the fog.
Fire, but quickly rebuilt. It would have been this new building, itself replaced in 1924 by the
current skyscraper edifice, that Charles visited.
17 Howard Borwell remains unidentified.
18 Fellow BTES member Thomas Hodkinson, farmer and ordained pastor, sailed for America on the
same ship with Charles in 1845, landing at Boston on May 16 of that year. Now the
recently-widowed Thomas (his wife, the former Sarah Ann Copley, had passed away in January,
1873) is accompanying Charles back to England where he will marry Charles' niece, Mary Ann.
19 Thomas is certainly Hodkinson. The little Englishman remains a mystery.

July 4th A beautiful
morning – the fog lifted
from the sea, flags flying
from our masts of all
nations, and 2 guns fired in
honor of the independence
of America. The sun shines
warm, the vessel moving
merrily along. Saw a vessel
going to America. Had one
The SS Europa
of the best dinners I ever
saw in my life, good enough for an autocrat. 450 knots from Sandyhook and
two days' sail from New York. Thomas and I had a game of shuffleboard
today. May the smile of Providence watch over me and mine.
July 5 on board steam ship Europa20. 4 o'clock my mate Thomas very
sick, vomiting and purging. Got up to get him some brandy. Had a very
pleasant passage so far, going about 10 knots per hour. I have a little
sickness at the stomach and a little diarrhea this morning. 760 miles from
Sandyhook. A good many sick with diarrhea.
July 6th Sunday morning. Both of us very sick with the diarrhea. Had
service on deck in the morning at 10 o'clock. Since noon yesterday sailed
245 knots. A good deal of sickness on board 21. A small vessel went by us this
20 The SS Europa, a steamship of the Anchor Line, was built in 1867 at Clyde, a major center of
shipbuilding in the late 19th century. The Europa's maiden voyage was on 25 September, 1867.
Originally 290.4 feet in length, 33.7 feet in breadth and 1840 gross tons, it was rebuilt in 1873,
adding 48.1 feet to its length and 437 tons to its weight. The Europa was sunk in 1878 off the
coast of Cape Finisterre after colliding with the SS Saffa.
21 Sickness was a serious, often fatal, problem aboard 19th century passenger ships, particularly
amongst working-class passengers, such as Charles and Thomas certainly were. As such, they
lived in steerage below deck in cramped, dark, damp quarters crawling with lice, ticks,
cockroaches and rats, with little fresh air (portholes were provided for this, but were often
“battened down”, particularly during high seas, to prevent flooding) and notoriously poor hygiene:
bathing facilities were non-existent, and toilet facilities often backed up or capsized and
overflowed (and Victorians, as Charles himself demonstrates, had a reputation for being obsessed
with the workings of their bowels). In such conditions it was impossible to segregate the sick,
and outbreaks of disease would sweep rapidly thorough the passenger population. Ships were
often ill-equipped for emergencies, and ships' surgeons were notoriously incompetent. Such
illnesses as marasmus, measles, diarrhea and even the fevers associated with teething took their
toll of the young whilst enteric (typhoid) fever, diphtheria, small pox, tuberculosis and scarlet
fever, amongst other diseases, preyed amongst adults. Congestion and bronchial illnesses were
exacerbated by the damp. On longer voyages, the mortality rate amongst infants could reach as
high as 20%. Here we see Charles and Thomas exhibiting all-too-common shipboard symptoms.
On a return trip to England in 1895, Thomas would again take sick, and on that occasion it would

afternoon and two small
whales. Had nothing to eat
today. Service in the saloon
at night.
July 7th a fair wind.
Rained some in the
morning; very cold. On the
banks of Newfoundland.
Had some medicine from
the doctor today; feeling a

have eaten nothing22. 235 knots since yesterday noon. Thomas and me very
poorly. Heavy fog.
July 8th very cold forenoon; nearly a headwind. A good deal of sickness on
board; I am very weak. 230 knots since noon. A head wind; very cold.
July 9 205 knots since noon and a head wind; very cold, no sunshine. But
little better in health both of us.
July 10th Got up this morning the deck covered with [roapes?], the sails
all up, a side wind sending us along a little faster. Very cold. Have eaten
very little since the 4th of July which makes me feel very weak, and I am
impatient to be at Glasgow. 233 knots since yesterday. Hoisted all sails about
noon and we are going along good, rocking and pitching. Saw a steamer
pass and 2 whales today. 10 o'clock night bedtime.
July 11th The wind still in our favor. Sailed 245 knots since noon. Very
cold. Our health is better today and we are beginning to enjoy our passage
but impatient to be at our journey's end. Went to bed with a heavy breeze a
little in our favor pitching the vessel merrily but fearfuly to me. Very cold.
July 12th This morning same as last night. Run since noon 250 knots. The
wind still blowing pretty hard from the north. A vessel just gone by us, the
Olympia23 for America. The waves washing the decks, pretty windy, very
claim his life.
22 Probably not by choice. Provender on 19th century sailing ships, at least in steerage, was often as
scarce as bathing facilities.
23 The SS Olympia, like the Europa a steamship of the Anchor Line, was built in 1872 at Clyde. With
a length of 307.1 feet, a breadth of 34.6 feet and gross tonnage of 2051, it was somewhat larger
than the Europa in that ship's original incarnation. According to New York immigration records,
the Olympia had just completed a previous Moville-Glasgow-New York run on 14 June; she was
undoubtedly now returning on her next run. New York passenger lists show that Charles, together
with Thomas, niece Mary Ann and her two children, would return to America on the Olympia in
October. The Olympia was scrapped in France in 1898.

hard to stand on deck.
Eleven o'clock night a little
rain, the wind not blowing
quite so hard. Must now
say my prayers and go to
bed.
July 13th 7 o'clock took
all the sails in a headwind.
Sun shining a little but cold.
With a grateful heart to God
The SS City of Washington
for his preserving care to
me. The sky looks a little
squalmish. 248 knots since noon. Porpoises showing themselves first time
today. A very fine day, the sea smooth and calm. At noon many people
standing around on deck. A sermon by a Unitarian. Spent a very pleasant
Sabbath day.
July 14th Rained in the morning. A vessel passed half past 12 o'clock.
Land in view, the north of Ireland. 221 knots since yesterday. All the sails are
tied up at noon today ready to enter port. Landed passengers at Moveal 24 at
9 o'clock night for Londonderry. A telegraph despatch came on board of the
loss of the City of Washington25. Mailed a letter for home. Passed many
dangerous rocks, some very near, say about 200 yards from us.
July 15th Half past 2 AM. Beautiful but dangerous scenes around us in the
form of huge rocks, icelands and so on. We are 70 miles from Glasgow. At 4
AM we past a rather sleepless night on account of the dangers. About 50
fishing boats in view now, A smooth sea and little wind. Cast anchor at
Greenock awaiting the tide at 10 o'clock AM after passing some of the most
awful but grand scenes I ever saw. Some of the passengers here took the
train to Glasgow. Excise officers on board. About 6 seized some tobacco and
cigars hun[illeg] around pretty sharp. Vessels of all sizes running up and
down the Bay of [Grenoc?]. Landed in Glasgow 5 o'clock PM. Rainy.
Received telegram from nephew Dean Sutcliffe to go straight by the railroad
to Liverpool. Sent him a despatch yes. Took our satchel to the station then
found lodgings and went to bed.
July 16th Wednesday Paid one shilling for our lodgings. Got up, went
24 That is, Moville, Ireland.
25 With more than 400 passengers and crew on board, the steamship “City of Washington” of the
Inman Line ran aground in the fog near Cape Sable off the coast of Nova Scotia on 5 July 1873
during its regular Liverpool-New York run. There was no loss of life.
27
around Glasgow for about 3
hours looking around,
seeing the sights, and [illeg]
for a breakfast. 4 of us had
a cup of coffee, bread and
butter for one shilling. Then
went to the agents of the
anchor line26 and got gold
for our check which I got in
Chicago. Started in a hurry
to the depot. Got tickets 1/4
to 10 AM and started to
Liverpool on a quick train.
Saw beautiful scenes.
Landed in Liverpool 6
o'clock. Found nephew
Dean Sutcliffe and Thomas
Cam27 awaiting for me on
The old offices of Anchor Line in Union Street, Glasgow (courtesy of the platform. K[n]ew them

by
the
white
amkerchive[sic]. Went with them to Crewe where Dean lives. By the train we
went to Crewe. Got home about 9 o'clock. Had a welcome reception with my
nephews and nieces. Went to bed rather tired and in a mending condition.
July 17th Nephew Dean and Robert Sutcliffe had been waiting on me at
the station 3 or 4 days. Robert was took very sick there and had to go home
the day I got to Liverpool. Then nephew Thomas Cam came to watch with
Dean my arrival. This morning went to see nephew Robert. He was very
poorly in his bowels. The three of us 28 went around town till noon, then came
home for dinner to Dean's. My health appears to be mending and I am very
welcome with my relations I have seen yet. After dinner went around town
with Dean and Robert.
26 The Anchor Line, the owner/operator of the SSs Europa and Olympia.
27 Nephews Dean and Robert Sutcliffe were sons of Charles’ brother, William, and Jane (Taylor)
Sutcliffe. Nephews Thomas and Robert Camm were sons of Charles’ sister, Elizabeth, and David
Camm. Thomas lived in Congleton, some fifty miles and a bit from Leeds, and Robert in
Staffordshire, some ten miles distant from Congleton. At the time of this narrative Dean and
Thomas were about 39 and 43 years of age, respectively.
28 It is apparent that Thomas Hodkinson has at this point fallen out of the narrative. While he will
make appearances again later, it seems likely that he has returned to his home in
Davenham/Norwich.
28
July 18th 1873 this29 my
niece Mary Ann30 took the
train to Congleton31 to visit
Thomas Cam and wife32.
From there to Robert33 in
Staffordshire34. Took Robert
by surprise. He was greatly
affected when it was told
him at the dinner table I
was his uncle from
America. Never did I see
more honest simple [mirth?]
full and agreeable people.
Erecting shop at the L.N.W.R. Works in Crewe, ca. 1890.
The weather is very cold to
me and very dull and missely nearly every day. We spent a very agreeable
day and came home on the cars. As we went in the morning we passed a
smash up on the railroad. One man killed and another nearly. Thomas,
Robert and me went to get a glass of beer and then went home to bed. They
say I look better than when I came. I feel better.
July 19th Got up this morning well. Nephew Dan 35 and Robert at work.
Went with my niece Mary Ann36 to market this forenoon. There is some very
large Iorn37 works here in Crewe and as large a place for railroad cars going
in and out all the time. It would be a fine sight for our boys to see. Left
29 Seems to be missing a word here – perhaps “morning”.
30 Charles had two nieces named Mary Ann, one the daughter of his sister, Elizabeth Camm, the
other of his brother, John. Being currently with the Camms in Crewe, undoubtedly the former is
intended here. She would be about 36 years of age.
31 Congleton, Cheshire, England, located between Manchester and the Potteries, is about 50 miles
south-southwest of Leeds, Cheshire County being southwest of Yorkshire County. Crewe is also
here, a further 10 miles southwest of Congleton.
32 Thomas and Nancy Camm were married before the 1851 census. No known children.
33 Certainly Thomas' brother Robert Camm is intended here, not nephew Robert Sutcliffe, as Charles
had just spent the previous day with the latter.
34 Staffordshire County is located about sixty miles south-southwest of Leeds. Crewe and Congleton
lie just outside Staffordshire County to the northwest.
35 Sic. Dean is certainly intended.
36 Again, certainly Dean and Robert's sister Mary Ann is intended here, as Charles is still in Crewe.
37 Sic. That is, iron. The Crewe of Charles' youth was a sleepy hamlet with only a wayside station
beside a turnpike road. But in 1840 the Grand Junction Railway company moved its locomotive
and carriage works here from Liverpool and built 200 houses for its employees. In 1853 Crewe
began making its own wrought iron rails, and in 1864 began steel production as well. By 1867
three other railways had built lines into Crewe, necessitating a large expansion of the train depot.
At its height, the Crewe iron and locomotive works employed some 20,000 people.
29
Crewe at noon for Leeds with nephew Robert Sutcliffe. He came with me to
take care of me. Got to Leeds about 5 o'clock afternoon. Asked me where I
would go. I told him to the nearest place. We went to Brother William's in
New Wortley. I went to the door, asked if William Sutcliffe lived here. He said
yes. I asked him if he did not know me. He said no. I looked at him hard in
the face a long time and he at me. I said I know Thee. With that he knew
me and I went in and was welcome by my brother and wife 38. Took tea with
them. After that we all went to our John's and found none but Mary Ann 39 at
home. But our John and Ada40 had gone to our William's to see about me
whether I had got to Leeds or no. We waited there till they came back. Mary
Ann knew me right off but I did not know our John not a bit, he had got so
old41. Went to our William's at night after taking42 a while and a little music.
Sunday morning 20th July Got up well. Went with Robert43 to the depot to
go home again. Went back to dinner. Whilst at dinner in comes our Mary 44.
Where is he, she says. Gives me a kiss then took her things off and sat
beside me to dinner. Before that our Susey 45 and John46 and Ada had come
and Harriet47 so we were all48 at our William's except our Maria and our
38 Jane, nee Taylor. Nephew Richard, accompanying Charles here, is William and Jane's son.
39 Having left Crewe behind and being now at brother John's, certainly Charles intends John's
daughter Mary Ann, not Elizabeth's. Now about 32 years of age, this is the Mary Ann whom
Thomas Hodkinson will marry and take back to Wisconsin.
40 Ada Sutcliffe, daughter of John and John’s second wife Miriam Mason; half-sister to Charles’ niece
Mary Ann.
41 In his “Letter from John to Charles (1868)”, John says of himself, “I scarcely feel right well too days
together, got as grey as a Badger and lost nearly all my teeth.”
42 Sic. I.e., talking.
43 Nephew Robert Sutcliffe who had accompanied Charles to “take care of” him (see Charles' entry
for July 19th); now he is returning home.
44 We now meet Charles' sister, Mary. While some family histories refer to her as Mary Ann, it
should be noted that neither Charles' journal nor any known records gives her a middle name.
45 Charles' sister Susan “Susey” married Thomas Shaw; Charles also had a niece named Susey
Camm, daughter of his sister Elizabeth Ann and sister to Robert, Thomas and Mary Ann Camm.
46 Charles' brother John had a son, named John William (elsewhere referred to as JW), like Ada, of
his second wife, Miriam Mason. Lack of Charles' customary “our” for siblings and proximity of the
name to Ada’s suggest the son is intended here.
47 Charles' grand-niece, daughter of niece Mary Ann Sutcliffe.
48 Of his ten siblings, Charles here specifically mentions five: Susey, Mary, William, John and Maria.
Three others – Dean, Robert Henry (“our Henry”) and Ann Henrietta (“Henrietta”) – we know to be
deceased. Unaccounted for are Elizabeth and George. Elizabeth in fact makes no appearance at all
in Charles' journal, and may already be deceased: her husband is already remarried by the 1851
census; and there is a record of the death of a Betty Camm, of about our Elizabeth's age, in 1845.
As to George, Jane Coldwell Sutcliffe tells us he, too, came to America, to Ohio where she
believed he was buried “long, long ago”. Nothing more does she know of him. But there is some
evidence that George in fact accompanied Charles to Wisconsin for a time. A George Sutcliffe of
approximately Charles' brother's age appears next to Charles in the Boston passenger lists for

Henry's widow49. I went to see our Henry's wife afternoon. She is getting
very gray. Spent all the day till night at our William's. When we all left
together for the depot and each left for their respective homes satisfied we
had seen one another once more. A hot day for Old England.
July 21 Went this morning with our William to his work50 and went into
the engine house51 to our John. Then went up to his house and wrote a letter
home to America. Then went home at night with our William52.
July 22 Tuesday. This morning stayed in bed till after our William went to
work. Went around a little as far as I dare for fear of being lost 53. Went to see
our Henry's wife afternoon. In the evening went to see Frank Nichols' 54
father. One of our Henry's daughters55 went with me. Saw some of the prisoners come out of Armley jail56 and they57 called at Eli Farrar's58 to get
something to eat and drink.
July 23 Wednesday This morning Eli Farrar and me started for Horsforth
on the tramway to Kirkstall. Passed the Old Abbie 59, got to our Susey's before

1845. And in the “Letter from John to Charles (1847)” (now in the Edna G. Culver Family Papers),
Charles' father addresses himself to “boath” his “sons”, and conveys his wish that “our George” be
allowed a share in Charles' property in Wisconsin. However, it is known that Charles' and
George's sister, Ann Henrietta (Sutcliffe) Parkin, lived for a time in Cincinnati during the 1840s
(her son, Robert, was born in Ohio in 1844), so perhaps George eventually joined her family there.
According to the death certificate, Robert Henry died 12 March 1867 at his residence, Highfield
Place, New Wortley, England, from pleuri pneumonia. He was married (see the Robert Henry and
Mary Sutcliffe Marriage Records) in 1844 to Mary Hunt, whom the 1851 England Census makes
one year younger than Robert.
According to the 1871 British Census, William was a “mechanic (fitter)”.
The 1871 British Census gives John's occupation as “engine-man”.
The ease with which Charles passes from mill to John's to William's and back suggests a close
proximity with each other. The 1871 British census puts William's residence at 17 Highfield [illeg.
word;], Leeds, and John's at 1 Richmond [illeg. word], Leeds. But a separation of 2 kilometers
hardly seems to suit these two locations to the sort of easy back-and-forth Charles seems to enjoy
here. Perhaps John or William had changed residences by 1873.
A testimony, perhaps, to how greatly Charles' hometown had changed.
Charles' wife Sarah Ann's step-mother was a Nichols. See the footnotes for August 9 and 10.
The 1861 England Census (Robert Henry Sutcliffe) credits Henry with five daughters: Henrietta,
Ann, Mary Zenai, Maria and Emily.
See footnote for August 8.
Sic. Likely, “then” is intended.
Eli Farrar married Betty Shaw, Charles’ niece by his sister Susey. The Farrars had been neighbors
of the Sutcliffes in 1841. In her “Letter from Susey to Charles”, dated 8 Sept. 1866 (now part of the
Edna G. Culver Family Papers) Susey Shaw reports that father, mother, and three children were
deceased, leaving only David, Eli and a sister, Sarah, surviving. Susey also tells us that Eli and
Betty were keeping a public house (i.e., a pub) in Leeds; hence the food and beverages.
Probably the reference here is to Kirkstall Abbey, a Cistercian monastery founded in 1152 and
dissolved in 1539 during the reign of Henry VIII. Acquired by Leeds Corporation, it was opened to
the public in the late 19th century. Its extensive remains are a major tourist attraction today.

afternoon with Thomas Shaw to Pool a fishing. Went on the cars through
Bramhope Tunnel62. Got no fish. Came home by the train at night.
July 24 This morning went out to Adle Church63 to see my father and
mother's grave64. Nephew went with me. Got home to dinner to our Susey's
very tired. Our Maria came in before dinner from Leeds. Laid down after
60 With the industrial revolution came a period of great change in Leeds, changes so dramatic in the
twenty eight years since Charles had left, it must have been nearly unrecognizable to him.
Massive population growth (from 50,000 in 1801 to nearly half a million a century later), the
introduction of the railway, the slow decline of the textile mills (in her “Letter from Susey Shaw to
Charles”, Susey notes a “great alteration in the mill”, and that none of her children works there),
and a spate of civic construction so fundamentally altered the landscape of Leeds that Charles' “a
great many changes” must be an understatement indeed.
61 A nephew. Thomas, John and Robert Shaw were sons of Charles’ sister Susey and her husband
Thomas Shaw. Confusingly, Charles had five nephews named Robert (Robert Camm, Robert
Parkin, Robert Shaw, and two Robert Sutcliffes), and four each of Thomas (Camm, Parkin, Shaw,
and Wilkinson) and John (Bagot, Shaw, Sutcliffe and Wilkinson). We know the younger Thomas is
intended here because Susey's husband had passed away in or before 1866 (see “Letter from
Susey Shaw to Charles”). We will meet their sister, Martha Newbould, on August 8 th.
62 To provide a rail link through the hills between Leeds and Thirsk, a tunnel was proposed in 1843.
Construction began in 1846, the year after Charles left for America, and was completed in 1849.
Two miles, 243 yards long, 25 feet, 6 inches wide and 25 feet high, it reaches its lowest point just
north of Breary Lane, dipping 290 feet below the surface. Final construction costs were 2,150,313
British pounds and at least 24 lives.
63 Built in the 12th century, St. John the Baptist Church in Adel, often referred to simply as “Adel
Church”, is one of the few, and one of the finest, surviving examples of Norman Architecture in
England. It boasts a large cemetery with graves dating back several centuries.
64 Charles’ mother, Henrietta Wolstenholme died in 1847, possibly a victim of the typhus plague that
claimed more than 1300 lives in Leeds that year. The “Letter from John to Charles (1847)”
describes Henrietta's last illness and passing, noting “we have had a great deal of sickness and
Death in all part of ingland such a time as was never nown in ingland before”. Charles’ father
passed away in 1863, at the age of 79.

dinner a while then got up.
Had tea and went down
Horsforth. Saw the clock our
Henry65 made in the village
church which runs 12
months without winding up
and lights itself up in the
evening and puts the light
out in the morning. Saw a
great many people that
knew me and I did not
recognize them. Nephew
Robert Shaw went with me.
Our Maria brought me a

letter from our John from
our Robert66 which was good news from home to me.
July 25 At our Susey's with our Maria. This morning got up at half past 4
o'clock. Went with nephew Robert Shaw to see the gardens which he is
tending [illeg] which were very pretty. Rained a little nearly all day. Came
with our Maria on the train to our William's at night. Got home all well.
July 26th This morning went with our William's wife, and our Maria into
Vickerscroft67. Made their markets and then they went home again and I
went forward to our John's. The streets of Leeds are about the same as
Chicago for people, tramway carriages and so on 68; hard work to get along.
Found our John at his engines at work. Went up to his house and ate dinner
with our John's daughters Mary Ann and Ada. John W 69 his son came home
65 Robert Henry Sutcliffe had been a clockmaker or engineer, apparently of some reputation. There is
within the Edna G. Culver Family Papers a card advertising a showing by Robert of “the world’s
smallest steam engine”.
66 “Our Robert” must be Charles' oldest child, Robert William. Whether “our John” refers to Charles'
brother or his son of the same name is unclear.
67 The economic boom of the industrial revolution brought with it an eruption of urban growth. By
the early 1800s, the ancient Leeds market of Briggate was no longer able to keep up with
exploding demand and a search was on to build a new one. In 1824, the vicarage known as
Vicar's Croft was purchased by the Leeds commissioners and, in the 1850s, developed into what
was to become the largest open-air market in Leeds. Located at the intersection of what is now
Vicar's Lane and Kirkgate Street, the market, opened in 1857, later became famous as Kirkgate
Market and the birthplace of Marks & Spencer.
68 Although Charles was left with this impression, in fact Leeds, with its population of perhaps
160,000, did not approach the million or more residents Chicago boasted in the late 19 th century.
69 Some sources make him John W., Jr., and assert the father's middle name is also William, though
no positive documentation currently corroborates this.

at night and stayed a few
hours and returned home
again at night to be ready

went to the Old Methodist

the first Chosen of God, and
the gentiles were predestinated to become the same. In the evening went to
the Old Established Church (Saint Edmonds) and was very well satisfied and
encouraged to go on my way trusting in God. Collections are took up after
each service here. It rained some today. I heard our Maria is not well at our
William's ever since I left them on Saturday. If she is no better I will see her
tomorrow.
July 28 At our John's. Started after breakfast to have a walk. Ada left for
her school in Armley and our John to his work. Went with a friend of our
John's called Mr. Rogers to the town hall71. Went into many places in it –
court rooms and so on and up to the top of the tower. Was in the clock room
when it struck three, which made the flesh creep on my bones. There is a
grand view of Leeds and its surroundings. I sat me down in 2 or 3 of the
Royal Chairs (by permission as I was an American 72) which Prince Albert and
70 Although Methodism in Richmond Hill had its start with the advent of the circuit riders in 1803,
the Methodist community met in member homes or borrowed facilities until 1846 when the
Methodist Chapel was built on the east side of Yonge Street, south of Centre Street in Richmond
Hill. The sermon Charles heard was likely preached by E.F. Goff, the church’s serving minister in
1873.
71 With the explosive growth and urbanization of Leeds in the 19 th century, the town embarked on a
spate of civic building construction, including a series of cloth halls (such as Piece Hall, which
Charles visits later), an elegant new courthouse, and this new Town Hall. Completed in 1858, the
Town Hall of Leeds is a superb example of Victorian architecture. Originally much more modest,
the tower design was augmented and construction completed just shortly before the hall was
officially opened by Queen Victoria. The tower Charles climbed in 1873 still today boasts a
commanding view of Leeds and its environs.
72 On 21 September 1857, at the circuit court house in Mineral Point, Charles applied for and
received American citizenship, more than eleven years after swearing an oath of allegiance.
34
Alfred sat in, and was in all of the principal rooms. Saw many other sights in
the hall -- Queen Ann which used to be on top of Brigate, the largest organ
in the world73, and many beautiful sights which room will not permit me to
record. I thought it would kill me before I got to the top of the Tower – 212
steps to the top. Got dinner half past 4 o'clock and got back to our John's
about 5 o'clock. Very tired for one day's tramp.
July 29th At our John's. Got up, had breakfast. Took our John's to the
mill74. Stayed with him a while then went up to the top mill to our William.
Stayed with him till noon [illeg] up to dinner. Had a little sleep, then went to
Armley to see our Maria, she being very sick. Found her a little better. Took
tea and then returned to our John's. Found two letters waiting for me from
home, one from John Gorst75 and the other from my dear wife, which was
good news from home to me. I read them both to our John and Mary Ann
his daughter. Had supper and went to bed with a grateful heart to God for
his goodness to me.
July 30 At our John's. After breakfast went down to the mill to our John.
Started to New Wortley. Took dinner with Eli Farrar and Betty his wife 76.
Looked in to see our Maria after dinner at our William's then started to
Armley77. Found uncle Sam Blakey78 and wife home. The two sons came in
after tea. None of them knew me, but uncle Sam is just like Father Blakey 79.
Charles’ citizenship papers are preserved in the Edna G. Culver Family Papers.
73 A bit of an exaggeration. However, at fifty feet high, forty-seven wide and twenty seven deep,
and weighing nearly seventy tons, the organ was one of the largest in Europe. It was built
between 1856-59, with an echo organ added in 1865, at a total cost of 6,500 pounds.
74 In 1841 the Robert Sutcliffe family lived on the Horsforth side of Low Lane. On the Cookridge side
for a time stood the Cookridge Silk Mill. Based perhaps on this, it has been suggested this is “The
Mill” referred to both here and in Jane Coldwell Sutcliffe's 1932 Tribute to Charles W. and Sarah
Ann Blakey Sutcliffe. However, the Cookridge Mill wasn't built until the late '40s, and was
reportedly gutted by fire in May '73, when production ceased. The property was sold in '75, and
in '84 new buildings were erected (from which point it was also known as the Charnley Mill) and
textile production resumed. Thus the Cookridge Mill could neither have been the mill at which
Charles worked in his youth, nor could it be the mill to which Charles accompanies John here. In
1871 Cookridge Mill employed 14 men or boys and 30 girls.
75 According to ship’s passenger lists, John Gorst and his brother arrived together with Charles at
Boston in May of 1845. According to History of Dane County (CW Butterfield; History of Dane
County, Wisconsin, Western Historical Company: Chicago, 1880; p 1262), in Wisconsin, John met
and married Prudence Copley, a sister of Thomas Hodkinson’s now-deceased wife Sarah.
76 Niece and nephew-in-law (see note for July 22nd).
77 Sarah Ann grew up in and near Armley. Her sister Mary was born here and her mother laid to
rest in an Armley grave.
78 A brother to Sarah Ann's father, apparently. Though no records confirm a brother Sam,
information on the Blakeys is currently sketchy. It is perhaps worth noting that Sarah Ann's
paternal grandfather was also Samuel.
79 Charles' father-in-law, William Blakey. Uncle Sam here would presumably be a brother to William.

Stayed till night. Took the
train to our John's. Uncle
Sam is doing a good
business in the cloth
business80. Could not find
any that knew my wife,
many of them being dead.
July 31 This morning I
thought to write home but
did not. I spent all day
running around Leeds in
various places. Could not

Maria was getting on at our
William's. Then walked back to our John's. Found Ada had come from school
and all the family home.
Though no information on Sarah Ann's family currently available corroborates this, it's perhaps
notable that William's father was Samuel.
80 Sarah Ann's father, William, is listed on her brother John's baptismal record as a “clothier”.
81 Samuel Binks married Charlotte Copley, sister to Thomas Hodkinson's (now deceased) wife Sarah
Copley, in 1845 at the Leeds Town Hall. According to Kittle, Charlotte's parents, James and Mary,
emigrated to Wisconsin as BTES members in 1845 as a party of six. Whether Charlotte was
among that party is unknown. However, according to Joseph Binks' Death Record, she and
Samuel are in Black Earth in 1850 when Joseph is born. At the 1870 US Census, Sam and
Charlotte are living in Chicago, with children Joseph and Sarah. And at the 1880 census Samuel,
without Charlotte, is living with Joseph in Chicago. Yet Sam and Charlotte make several
appearances in Charles' Journal in July and August, and appear to be living in Leeds. This
discrepancy cannot at present be resolved.
36
August 2nd Wrote a little
more after breakfast for
home then went to see our
Maria on the train, she
starting home. Got to our
John's and took dinner with
him. Had lunch at our
William's of rhubarb pie and
a glass ale; finished my
letter for home. Came down
to the mill to our John. 3
o'clock PM went in town
with our John to see Judge
Guinea graves at Burmantofts (courtesy www.leodis.net)
Pollock come in to the
assizes82. Did not get to see him today. The town was all alive with people to
see the Big Man (the Judge). Our William came in to the lodge and we all
met together at the lodge room. Bought a new pair of glasses. Where around
with them saw a many new sights and a great many people. Then came
home with our John, and our Willam went home.
August 3rd Sunday morning. The church bells ringing. Our John very
poorly. I am afraid of him poor brother. We went to the Old Parish Church 83
this morning to see the judge, he being in attendance at the church. The
assises commence tomorrow. Very many people waiting to see him come out
into his carriage. When he got into it the trumpeters blew 3 blasts with their
trumpets which caused a thrill to run through me and the people went to
their dinners. I did not feel very well this afternoon nor our John either. We
stayed indoors. Got a letter from Mr. T Hodkinson this afternoon. Mary Ann84
and me went to Simmetarry at Burmintofts 85. Our John has two wives laid
82 “Assizes” were trial sessions or judicial inquests, either civil or criminal, held periodically in
specific locations in England, usually by a judge of a superior court. Apparently, the event, and
the appearance of the judge, were matters which generated great local interest.
83 The Parish Church of St. Peter-at-Leeds (Anglican), located in Kirkgate. There had been churches
on the site dating back to Anglo-Saxon days, and parts of the previous structure, demolished in
1838, likely dated to that period. The new building was dedicated in 1841, and is the edifice that
still stands today.
84 Not “our”, so must be the niece.
85 By the late 18th century, parish cemeteries throughout England had become crowded, filthy and
disease-ridden. By the early 19th century, spurred on by events such as the first cholera epidemic
of 1831-2, a movement had begun for the establishment of civic cemeteries. In 1842, Leeds began
levying taxes for the purpose of interring the dead. In 1845 the city opened Beckett Street
Cemetery, which is still today known locally as Burmantofts Cemetery.
37
there86. Saw some grand buildings on the road. A large place to to bury the
dead, a great many tombstones and some very expensive, chiefly made from
granite rock, houses. I wondered where ever the people all came from. We
went home after tea. We spent the evening with singing and playing, Ada
with the organ and our John with the basse. We went to bed, our John very
poorly and not so very well.
August 4 Monday Raining this morning. Went around Leeds a little today
by myself. Got lost many times, but came out all right at last. Rained a little
nearly all day.
August 5 Tuesday A fine morning I suppose for England, but I think it
cold. Our John very sick but at work. He has not been fit for work since I
came here. He had to leave work at noon, too sick to stand it any longer. I
went to see a doctor about my eyes. He said he could clear them and do
them good. Went at night with John Wm and Ada to the town hall to hear
an entertainment on the organ – the largest organ in England but one, the
smallest pipe about like a fine piece of straw, and the largest pipe 32 feet
long and stops 130.
Wednesday 6 August Looks like rain this morning. Rained some in the
forenoon. Left Leeds with J W87 for Harrowgate to the agricultural show. Got
there quarter past 10 AM. Saw a Kerby reeper and several other machines,
but not American. All their machines are too heavy. Hay rakes, fanmils carts,
buggies, thrashing machines, steam engines, stone breakers, sowing
machines of all kinds. Their farming implements are all too heavy for the
western states of America. The Cart Hubs are as large as 3 of our Waggon
Hubs. The cattle show that
is bulls and cows are about
in the same proportion.
There was a fine show of
hogs and sheep and a

August 8th Friday This morning had to rise rather early on account of the
medicine took last night89. A fine morning. The sun shines this morning
rather more than usual. Afternoon went to see the foundation stone laid of a
day school in New Wortley90. The stone was laid by Sir Andrew Fareburn
Knight91, the cost of it estimated at 12 thousand pounds. Then went through
Armley jail92 and then took tea with niece Martha Newbould 93. Then went to
see Charlotte Binks94 to see if Mr. Hodkinson had got to Leeds. They had
heard nothing of him. Came home to our William's to sleep. Had a pain in
my stomach. Had to vomit up my tea again. Martha Newbould my niece and
I went through the prison conducted by one of the wardens. Showed us all
the cells and different apartments in the place: the whipping post, the dark
dungeon, the place the prisoners exercise in, 3 graves, two of which had
been hanged in the prison95.

90 In an e-mail dated 5 Feb 2005 to the author, Rona Newholme of Yorkshire, England, expressed her
belief that this was Green Lane School. Built in 1872, the school (later Wellington Middle School)
operated until 1982 when it was closed and, later, torn down.
91 Born in 1828 in Glasgow, the son of Sir Peter Fairburn, Andrew served as the mayor of Leeds from
1866-1868, when he was knighted, and as chairman of Leeds School Board from 1871 to 1878. He
would later be elected to Parliament and serve as High Sheriff of Yorkshire.
92 Known locally as Armley Gaol, today operated as HMP (Her Majesty's Prison) Leeds, construction
was completed in 1847, consisting of four wings radiating from a central point, in common with
Victorian penal principles.
93 Martha Shaw, daughter of Charles' sister, Susey, who married Nathan Newbould.
94 See footnote for July 31.
95 Armley Gaol was the site of several famous executions; perhaps the graves Charles sees here
were even from Armley's only public executions, of murderers James Sargisson and Joseph Myers,
who were hanged together at the prison on Sept. 9, 1864 in front of a crowd of more than eighty
thousand.

Saturday A fine
morning. Had a
shower of rain
before breakfast, so a light
breakfast and
took the rails
for Beadford96,
or Maningham.

of my old shopmates of my boyhood, all of
which were very glad to see

heartily welcomed by Mr. and Mrs. Nichols (Eliza Wilson97 Uncle and Aunt). They were to
me like a father and mother. Had dinner with them and slept with them. I
have not been so well this 3 or 4 days. Left our William's this morning. David
Farrar98 and I took tea with them, and then went with him into Bradford and
found Uncle Rowbothams99 and left them the corn and tidey100 and promised
to see them in the morning. Saw the new town hall 101; it is a fine building.
All the kings, queens and conquerors of England are fixed in niches of the
walls outside, Cromwell among the rest, and Queen Victoria and Queen Mary
are on each side of the principal doorway. Each figure cost 70 sterling. 13
bells are in the tower and plays or chimes 30 separate tunes.
August 10th Sunday This morning fine but cold. Took breakfast at Mr.
96 Sic. Bradford is certainly intended here.
97 Eliza (married Thomas Wilson) was half-sister to Charles’ wife, Sarah Ann. Mr. and Mrs. (Henry
and Mary) Nichols are brother and sister-in-law to Eliza's mother.
98 Brother to Eli. See footnote for July 22nd.
99 To date, the Rowbotham connection is uncertain. There is record of a James Rowbotham
marrying one Anne Blakey in 1831, so perhaps there is a connection through that.
100 Or “Corn and Tidey”.
101 Still standing today in Centenary Square, Bradford, West Yorkshire, the Bradford Town Hall took
three years to build, at a cost of 100,000 pounds. It was intended to rival the town halls of Leeds
and Halifax. Charles is seeing the town hall exactly one month before its official opening, on 9
Sept. 1873.

Henry Nichols, then went
down to Mr. Tim Hellewell's

from Bradford. Aunt Nancy
and nephew Harry took the

mule and trap so we had a
good ride for the first time in England in that kind of a thing. Found Uncle
home. Stayed till night and came home to Mrs. Nichol's. Had supper and
prayers and went to bed sleepy. Went to no place of worship this day. I
begin to think this day of coming home. I was so cold and such little fires
kept on account of the dearness of cole104. I cannot warm me same as I can
at home.
August 11 Monday This morning at Mr. Henry Nichols Maningham105. A
fine morning but no sunshine and cold to me. Left at noon for Salt Aire 106, a
very nice place. It is built on about 60 acres of ground filled with dwelling
houses for the work people and 44 alms houses which is a credit to the
builder and founder of the place, Titus Salt, and 2 or 3 churches adorn the

pounds a year. And other noted places which I cannot think of. But the man
is a benefactor to the community. Came home at night with Mr. Nichols' son

and benefactor Sir Titus Salt, with his own mills as centerpiece. Salt, former mayor of Bradford
and member of Parliament, held progressive views on employee welfare and community health at
a time when Bradford was amongst the most polluted and disease-filled mill towns in England,
with an average working-class life expectancy of 18 years.

August 13 Thursday
Started the day at our John's with writing to home till dinnertime then
started to Samuel Binks to see if Thomas Hodkinson had been heard of.
Found him there. We went around some with Samuel till night and we
parted each for home, highly pleased to see one another again. Took supper
and went to bed at our William's.
August 14 Friday Had rather a restless night with pain in the stomach.
Got up in the morning and went with our William as far as Vickerscroft to
his work before breakfast. Got breakfast then went to [illeg – seed?] Mr.
Hodkinson. We went into Leeds till noon and came to our William's and got
dinner all of us. Then we went to see our Henry's wife. Then we went up
into Armsley. Binks left us. We went up to Uncle Sam's to leave them 2
years109 of corn I had brought from America. Aunt Blakey 110 did not ask us to
sit down so we left and took tea with Frank Nichols' folks111.
August 15 Saturday this morning sprinkling rain a little. Thomas and me
went to see Kirkstall Abbey112 with Sam Binks. Dined with Charlotte Binks,
108 Unidentified. Not Thomas Hodkinson, seemingly, as they don't appear to meet up until the next
day.
109 Sic.
110 Aside from the suggestion of a connection to Sarah Ann's family, Uncle Sam and Aunt Blakey
remain unidentified.
111 Other than an association with Sarah Ann's step-mother's family, Frank and his folks remain
unidentified. It would not seem likely that Frank is a son of Uncle Henry Nichols, as Charles
elsewhere refers to Henry more directly as simply “Mr. Nichols” (cf. Aug. 11).
112 See the July 23 footnote on the Old Abbie.

then went through
Vickerscroft and around
the town into Central
Markett Corn Exchange
and so on. Then went to
our John's and stayed all
night.
August 16 Saturday
This morning Thomas and
me went around till noon.
Oxford Place Chapel, ca. 1895.
Afternoon we113 went to
Round Hay Park114 with Mary Ann115, Ada and our John. He hired a
conveyance for to take us. It rained very hard while there and was without
an umbrella. Got very wet. We all had a ride on the little steamer around the
lake. I was sorry cold this day. Got home by the same conveyance at night.
Very cold and wet.
17th August Sunday This morning our John very poorly from the wet and
cold of yesterday. Thomas and me went in the morning to Oxford Chapel 116
then went to Samuel Binks to dinner. Afternoon went to the same Chapel to
a love feast117 [with?] two American brothers. Was called on to speak.
Thomas spoke. I remained silent. There was a good love feast. My thoughts
was on my dear home in America. Went to our John's for tea, and at night
went to the parish church with Mary Ann and Ada. After service went home
to our John. He was up and had been to see his fires at the mill to keep
113 “We” here must mean Charles and Thomas Hodkinson. Though Thomas had arrived in Leeds on
the 13th, he seems to have stayed with the Binks. This may be his and Mary Ann's first meeting.
114 Originally given in the 11th century by William the Conqueror to the De Lacey family of Pontefract
Castle, the tract of land now known as Roundhay Park passed over the centuries through a
succession of famous hands, including those of John of Gaunt, Henries IV and VIII and Thomas
Darcy. In 1872 it was purchased by the Leeds city council and donated to the people of Leeds as
a public park. The land at the time lay far outside the borders of Leeds and could only be reached
by the old “turnpike” road of 1808. While the park was eventually extensively re-landscaped,
Charles, visiting in 1873, would not have seen the improvements. At more than 700 acres,
Roundhay park is still today one of the largest city parks in Europe.

116 Wesleyan Methodist Oxford Place Chapel, located on Oxford Place across from the Leeds Town
Hall in downtown Leeds. The property having been purchased by the Methodist Church in 1834,
the foundation stone was laid in Feb '35 and the Chapel was officially opened in October. The
building stood largely as is until an 1896 redesign and expansion gave it its current Baroque
facade.

the singing of hymns, Scripture reading, and the sharing of faith stories.

them ready for Monday morning.
August 18 Monday This morning we both started from our John's. Called
at the mill to see our William and John, then Thomas started for London, and
I for Horsforth. Took the tramway to Kirkstall, and walked the rest of the way
to our Susey's. Found them all well with their lumps of beef cooked for the
feast118. When I got there, there had been 3 or 4 Maningham to see me on
the Sunday, but had gone back again to their work. Robert Shaw and me
went to see the athletic sports. Afternoon came on rain and rained all day.
Came home to Robert's and took tea with them, and slept at our Susey's.
August 19th Tuesday. Raining this morning when I got up. Took a walk
through Horsforth our Susey midling considering. Took breakfast with our
Susey. Afternoon went to see cricketplaying and then the athletic. Took
dinner with our Susey. Today rained a little afternoon. Spent the evening
with our Susey. Tired for the day. Anxiously looking for a letter from home.
August 20th Wednesday This morning left Horsforth for Leeds on the train.
Got to our John's at dinnertime. Received a letter from home and a
newspaper which did one good to hear from my family. Got my boots soled
and heeled. Cost me 4 shillings. I am heartily welcome here and at home, if
at home anywhere. Rainy now and then through the day. Got a letter from
Glasgow and one from Mr. Hodkinson.
August 21 Thursday. Started this morning for Birstall. Found Uncle John
Day119. He was glad to see me. We went into the churchyard and saw Aunt
Fanny's grave120. One grave new dug, and had coal to go through while
digging it. Birstal feast121 just commenced. Rained at night. It has rained
every day since last Saturday. Poor harvest weather. Saw William Rhodes,
Joshua's brother122. Uncle Day took me to his house. Got measured for a suit
118 That is, Birstall Feast, or Birstalltide. See the footnote for August 21.
119 John Day married Frances “Fanny” Blakey. While the exact connection remains uncertain, Fanny's
maiden name and the fact that Charles calls Fanny “Aunt” would seem to make her a sister to
Sarah Ann's father.
120 Fanny passed away in 1862, at age fifty-eight, and was interred in Birstall Cemetery.
121 Celebrated annually on August 19, Birstalltide, or Birstall Feast, was a local Birstall tradition. It has
long been believed by scholars that Charlotte Bronte drew on her experiences at Birstall Feast in
the 1830s to describe the Whitsuntide celebrations in chapters 17 and 18 of her novel Shirley.
Herbert E. Woot, in his Persons and Places of the Bronte Novels, quotes from the journal of the
Rev. Henry Nussey – the “St. John Rivers” of Jane Eyre – in which he describes the events of
Birstall feast as a “time of much iniquity”. Festivities included the Church Sunday School Festival,
at which young scholars were feted, hymns were sung, and prayers read by the Vicar. In the
evening at eight o'clock “supper was introduced, consisting of the Old English cheer, roast beef,
plum-pudding and good beer, to which from 80 to 100 sat down. The day then concluded with
music and singing.”

of black clothes123. Slept with Uncle this night. Uncle John and wife did all
they could to make me comfortable.
August 22nd Friday Dreamed of home and my Dear wife, and found
myself in bed disappointed. Rained a little when I got up. Took breakfast,
then Uncle John showed me the house of cousin James and Samuel 124. Spent
the day with them, and came to Uncle's to sleep. A man killed this day on
the fairground with his wagon running over him. Drizzling rain on and off all
day. Uncle Day and cousins would like to see my wife, and wishes to be
remembered to her.
August 23 Saturday This morning fine and pleasant. Went to look around
the town of Birstal and the fairground with Uncle Day. Got my beard cut at
cousin Samuel's, and took dinner with Uncle and made a start for our John's
at Leeds. Found Thomas back from London. We then went to a concert in
the town hall then went home to bed. Rained a little whilst going home.
August 24 Sunday A fine morning we went to Saint Edmond Church near
my brother John's. Our John went to clean one of the boilers out which took
him till noon. Then Thomas and me started to Samuel Binkes'. I went to our
William's. They thought I was lost, I had been away so long. I got tea with
them, then I went to New Brunswick Chapel. Heard an excellent sermon,
text: 18 Chapter Mathew 2 & 3 verse. Thomas and Mary Ann our John's
daughter was there but I did not see them. I came home to our William's.
Took supper and went to bed thankful to God for his preserving care to me
and mine.
August 25th Monday There had been quite a rain in the night. Poor
harvest weather. A dull morning. Looks like more rain; did rain some. Stayed
at our William's and wrote till noon. John William Bagot and William Waite
had come to see me, our Mary's son having come to see me from
Sunderland Durham and William Wait our Mary's daughter's husband 125 from
Halifax. We all went to Eli Farrers, a niece of mine 126 and had a glass of ale
apiece and then we all met in Leeds together with our William and our John
and Thomas. We had a glass each and talked a little of earlier days and time
present, etc., and then went each of our respective places. I went to our
123 John Day was a tailor by profession.
124 James and Samuel, brothers, were sons of Uncle John. They would be about 51 and 41 years old
at this time, respectively; Uncle Day about 72.
125 Charles' sister Mary married William Bagot in 1829 and had at least five children. Here we meet
son John William and daughter Elizabeth's husband William Waite. We will meet daughter
Lovenia on August 29th.
126 See footnote for July 22nd on the Farrars.

William's that night.
August 26th Tuesday More rain in the night with thunder and lightning.
Got up at 5 o'clock and went with our William to his work as far as
Vickerscroft and then went back to breakfast. Then went to meet Thomas
and nephew John W Bagot. We took the train to Horsforth with him to my
sister Susey's. The engine broke before we got to Horsforth which delayed
us about one hour till another engine came to help us along. Stayed till night
and Thomas and me came back by the train to our John's, and nephew of
William. Started home for Durham. We went around some and went into the
quarry and had quite a chat with nephew John Shaw. John is getting stone.
August 27 Wednesday Sent a letter home today. Heavy rain in the night.
A good deal of grain to cut around here. Started from our John's with
Thomas to Sam Binks and then took train with Thomas to go to Samuel
Binkes and we went from their to the station and T and me started for
Halifax on the rail (fare one shilling and fourpence) to see a relation of Mr
Copley's127, Mr. Copley's sister, and we saw several of the families and was
very kindly received and entertained by them; stayed with Mr. Hill 128 all
night. Had a little more rain in the evening. Saw some of the places of my
childhood. Mr. Hill went with into the slaughter house, Peace Hall 129, the Old
Churchyard into Sion Chapel130 and the school I used to go to on a Sunday
when I was a boy, and into the marketplace. Night came and we had to go
to our bed.
August 28th Thursday More rain in the night. Got [up?] in the morning.
Got breakfast. Richard Hill went with us today around town. We went
through Elland and into Wheatley and into and around a tannery belonging
to some of the family connections. Came on a heavy rain and thunderstorm.
We had to wait quite a while till the storm abated. Came back to Mr. Hill's,
stayed all night.
August 29th Friday This morning very rainy. Started Brighouse and
Thomas to Manchester. They wanted us to stay with them longer. I went up
what they call South [Arrar?] to the top of a hill called Beacon Hill 131. I

thought I should never get to the top. I thought it would kill me to do it. I
had to stop several times to get my wind. It was the biggest pull I had for
years. I called on the road to see an optitian, one of the best in the country,
called Richardson to see if I could [get] a pair of glasses to walk with but I
could not. He advised me to wash my eyes with cold water as much as
possible. Got to Brighouse by noon. Took dinner with our Mary's daughter
(Lovenia Cumpsty132) our Maria was here. I had to get me an umbrella in
Halifax. It rained so cost 4s 6d and slept there all night.
August 30th Saturday Started to Leeds. Our Maria walked with me a piece
of the way to Leighcliffe133. Took the train and got to our John's before
dinner. Got dinner and then went to the mill. Had a good warm bath and I
felt better from it. An old millmate came to see me, John Hellewell, before I
had got on my clothes from the bath wh134 we had a glass together and I had
to promise him I would go see them tomorrow, Sunday, which I did.
August 31 Sunday This morning took the tramway for Kirkstall found John
Hellewell and wife at home. Took dinner and tea with them. Then took my
way back to our John's. Rained some through the day. Had a long talk
about our younger days when we worked together in the silk mill.
Sept 1st Monday This morning our John and me went to Castleford 135 9
miles on the cars to see his son John William 136 at the glass works. We saw
them making bottles of all sizes and shapes both for England and other
places in the world. Came back at night tired. It being Orton Feast 137, our
John went with me as they had a holiday at the mill. John William got us a
permit to see all around the works. He is the engineer at the 138 many time

Epilogue
Charles' Journal breaks off abruptly here, the last portion having been
lost, and we are left to other devices to fill in what few details we can.
Thomas Hodkinson and Mary Ann Sutcliffe were married just days before
Thomas and Charles' departure to return to America. We can only speculate
as to the circumstances surrounding the marriage, but we now know that,
Jane Coldwell Sutcliffe's write-up not withstanding, Mary Ann was likely not
the widow of a George Sutcliffe. Her first two children, Harriet Elizabeth and
Ernest Bedford, appear to have been illegitimate. Given the extreme stigma
of the day attached to unwed motherhood, life must have been very difficult
for Mary Ann and her family.
In Wisconsin, meanwhile, Thomas Hodkinson, life-long friend and
neighbor of Charles, was left after the death of his wife to care for his four
children alone. Though speculative, the following scenario seems not
unlikely: seeing the predicaments of both his niece and his friend, Charles
suggested marriage. The suggestion being received favorably by all parties,
arrangements were made and Thomas returned with Charles to England,
where he and Mary Ann were wed. The remoteness of Thomas' home in
England from Charles' only lessens the likelihood of a serendipitous meeting.
Jane Coldwell Sutcliffe tells us that Charles left Liverpool on September
30th, bound for America. But she does not mention that he was accompanied
by his niece, her two children, and her husband, bound for their new life in
the New World. It was in Wisconsin, apparently, that the story of George
Sutcliffe first surfaced (as, as Jane Coldwell Sutcliffe herself acknowledges,
no records of George have been found), perhaps to provide a cover of
legitimacy for Mary Ann and her children in their new life.
The ship's passenger list of the SS Olympia shows Charles, Mary Ann,
Thomas, Harriet, age 9, and Ernest, age 10 or 11 months, arriving at New
York on 16 October 1873. From there they would have made their way back
to Wisconsin139, where Mary Ann would bear three more children. She now
139 Jane Coldwell Sutcliffe (¶29) indicates they returned to Wisconsin on 18 October.

lies in Mazomanie Cemetery, having never seen her England again.
Thomas Hodkinson made at least two more trips back to England. The
final trip, undertaken just two months after Charles' death, proved fatal.
Thomas arrived in England on the 5th of September, dreadfully ill, luggage
lost, and penniless. He lingered for nearly two months; then on October 31st,
at the age of 76, he passed away, and was laid to rest at St. Wilfrid's Church
in Davenham, Cheshire, England.

A Tribute to Charles and
Sarah
A Tribute to Charles W. and Sarah Ann Blakey Sutcliffe
By Mrs. Blakey Sutcliffe
1932
————————————
In 1932 at a Sutcliffe family reunion in Prairie du Sac, Wisconsin,
Jane Coldwell (Mrs. Blakey) Sutcliffe, presented this tribute to her
father-in-law. Together with Charles' journal, this tribute remains the
primary source of information we have on Charles' life.
————————————
Today we are gathered together not for a time of hilarity, but in
a sacred reverence to the memory of Charles Wolstenholme Sutcliffe
and Sara Ann Blakey Sutcliffe, his wife from whom most of those
attending this reunion descended. Charles W. Sutcliffe was one of a
family of 7 brothers and 4 sisters. George, Harry, John, William, Robert,
Dean and Charles. Susie Mary, Maria and Henrietta were born to John
Sutcliffe and Henrietta Wolstenholme Sutcliffe140. Charles was born
December 24, 1820 in Leeds, England.
(2) His father was employed in a silk manufacturing plant at
Leeds.141 His work was to see that all machinery was kept in perfect
order by those assigned to the different phases of the work, and all
men employed were under his direct supervision. A very particular and
painstaking man everything had to be done right, and kept
immaculately clean. This is where Charles was employed, his work
being to keep the engines wiped clean, free from dust, and oiled. He
often used to say you could see your face in any of them all over the
plant.
(3) He began to tire of this work and with a growing unrest he
severed his connections with it, and after hearing many glowing
accounts of America142, became interested and decided to cross the

140 In fact, it was six brothers and five sisters: Jane omits Betty (Elizabeth Ann) and adds
Harry, for whom no records have been found.
141 See footnote for Charles' Journal, entry for July 29th.
142 The advent of the industrial revolution in England kicked off a period of great social
upheaval and unrest. In this milieu, greedy ears listened eagerly to stories of opportunity
and plenty in America. The British Temperance and Emigration Society was just one of
numerous such societies that sprang up in response to the demands for emigration to the
New World.

ocean with much opposition from his loved ones there. He finally won out
and bought his land,
before leaving England, from the British
Temperance Emigration Society in the spring of the year 1846143.

the age of 26 years)
Coming to his new
home, in the fall of the
same year, at Blue

pointment to find conditions in such a primitive state so different to what he left in England that
he wished himself back many times. How often have we heard him tell of
crying himself to sleep for many weary months, night after night, as he lay
on his bed made from two saplings. The head was made by boring holes in
the logs of the house and inserting the poles in the holes, and for the foot of
the bed another small tree with holes bored in at each end, and logs
inserted. The slats were young small saplings laid across and covered,
thickly, with prairie grass. His coverlets such of his wearing apparel as he
could spare. He had two blocks from a log for chairs and a packing box for
his table, and his lighting equipment was a rag in an old tin can with
grease, when he could get it, to feed the flame.
(4) Supplies were very hard to get and were brought from Milwaukee,
Mineral Point, Blue Mounds, and Rowes Mill (now Sawles Mill), and the
means of travel was mostly on foot. Some having Ox teams, went to
Milwaukee for flour and corn meal, which was a three day trip there and
back, but few had the means to buy the necessary provisions and many
ground their corn meal in the coffee mill. This is what he did. Later a little

store started in Dover, now Doverville, where a few supplies were kept which
helped the settlers a little.
(5) Mail coming from England came to Rowes Mill. How eager they all
were to hear from their loved ones left behind in the Fatherland 145. What a
change leaving a home where poverty was unknown. We of today cannot
imagine (even in this time of so much depression) the heartaches and
privation he, with many others, suffered. After a time things began to grow
brighter. The land was producing a little to help the food problem. It was
slow work without the necessary implements to break the virgin soil. It took
time and muscle, and finally all was conquered.
(6) Charles began to look around and get acquainted with his neighbors
and he soon fell in love with a pretty neighbor girl whose father, William
Blakey, and family had come from England the same year - 1846 146. After a
short courtship of one year, he was united in marriage (1847) to Sarah Ann
Blakey. Her family consisted of her father, a stepmother - Mary Nichols
Blakey, her brother, John; sister, Mary Hannah; and a half sister, Eliza Jane
Blakey. Sarah Ann was born February 27, 1826 at Gildersan Armsley,
Yorkshire, England. She and her sister Mary Hannah, and brother John
Blakey were left in early life without a mother's care and love. Their mother 147
is laid to rest in Armsley England Cemetery. William Blakey's second
marriage was to Miss Mary Nichols, who was born in Leeds, England in
1802. She died July 12, 1848 and is buried in the Mazomanie Cemetery
beside her husband. They had one daughter, Eliza Jane.
(7) Mary Hannah, after coming here, was married to William Coldwell 148,
January 24, 1853. His home was in Sheffield, England. This is where the
relationship to the William Coldwell family comes in.
(8) Her Brother, John Blakey, married a Miss Ivy of Shullsburg, Wisconsin.
145 There is, preserved in the Edna G. Culver Family Papers, a large collection of letters which
Charles received from home over the years between 1845 and the 1880s.
146 There has long been some confusion surrounding the William Blakey family. Kittle, in his History
of the Village and Township of Mazomanie, p. 21, has a William Blakely family, party of seven,
arriving in 1845. However, both Kittle and the 1850 US Census settle this family in Dane, whereas
Jane Coldwell, the census and the platte map reproduced at the beginning of this book make our
Blakeys neighbors of Charles. Our William Blakey family appears in ship passenger manifests
arriving aboard the Sheridan at New York on 20 Aug 1846. All things being equal, it would seem
our William is to be identified rather with the James Blakey on p. 25 of Kittle, a thesis further
supported by the fact that while BTES membership lists reveal two William Blake(l)y families, no
James Blakey family is found.
147 William Blakey's Marriage Record shows her to have been Elizabeth Hodgson.
148 William Coldwell (1828-1906), son of John and Harriet (Knight), was uncle to Jane Coldwell
Sutcliffe..
55
There remains of that family one son, John Blakey, Jr., a lawyer and brilliant
man, who chose a life of single blessedness. His parents are laid to rest in a
Shullsburg, Wisconsin cemetery.
(9) Her step149 sister, Eliza Jane, was married to Tom Wilson of
Mazomanie150.
(10) Sarah Ann's father, prior to coming to America, had an interest in a
woolen mill at Armsley, England, where he was employed.
(11) Grandfather William Blakey was married three times. His third wife 151,
after his death, was married to a widower by the name of George Cutler, of
Mazomanie, Wisconsin; a prominent Justice of the Peace to Mazomanie.
(12) These are all laid to rest, except her brother John (buried in
Shullsburg), in the Mazomanie cemetery, where most of our loved ones are
sleeping.
(13) After digressing we will return to our main subject. This little History
was requested to show future generations to be proud of what they
originated from and to hold aloft the banner of the virtuous living of Charles
W. Sutcliffe and Sarah Ann Blakey.
(14) After their marriage they went immediately to their little home and
things were soon transformed there, and there were no more lonely times. He
often said it was a Paradise and no castle, with it could compare.
(15) As time passed along an addition came to complete the happiness in
their home. It was a little son, born July 11, 1849 and christened Robert
William Sutcliffe. Their joy knew no bounds. I have often heard the older
people say that it was an event that brought great rejoicing all over the
settlement. The first baby born, and I believe theirs was the first marriage
consummated in that Section. He was loved by everyone and grew to
manhood, a loved and honored Father of many here today.
(16) Time passed rapidly and the little children became of school age, and
a little log schoolhouse was erected not far from his home. Chas. W. Sutcliffe
was elected their first instructor and many amusing tales he used to tell of
that early time and how he would have like to tan their hides. Many other
prominent places he filled. One was Justice of the Peace and he was known
as Squire Sutcliffe. Many disputes arising among the settlers he tried to iron
out, maybe not to the satisfaction of all.

Cemetery.
151 Sarah Mason.

He was more than blessed in his choice of a life partner. A girl
without any schooling whatever; her thrift and frugal economy was wonderful
in a marked degree.
(18) A new log addition to their home was erected and land broken. Ox
teams were discarded and I think William Blakey and Chas. Sutcliffe had the
first horses among the settlers. Land produced wonderful crops. The wheat
had to be hauled to a mill in Milwaukee to be ground into flour.
(19) Babies were coming, not one this time, but two. They were John
Henry and Eliza Ann Sutcliffe born December 15, 1851. Next came George
Sutcliffe, February 21, 1854; Dean Sutcliffe July 21, 1856; Henrietta Sutcliffe
August 19, 1859; twins Blakey Hodgson Sutcliffe and Charles Wolstenholme
Sutcliffe on May 21, 1862; Mary Elizabeth Sutcliffe June 26, 1864; and Maria
Sutcliffe November 21, 1867. This family now totalled twelve with the
parents.
(20) How well I can remember, when I was a little child, seeing them all
going to Church and Sabbath school at the little Primitive Methodist Church.
The parents were ardent adherants of that faith after leaving England where
they were raised in the Episcopal Church. A whole wagon load of children
from one end to the other and all were neat and carefully groomed, and a
healthy, happy, jolly lot who were raised to honor their Father and Mother.
(21) How they worked and toiled together to feed and clothe that bunch
can better be imagined than described. They never went without good
wholesome food and warm clothing. I have often heard it said by neighbors
dropping in for an evening's visit, they would find Charles knitting stockings
and rocking the cradle. The wool was taken from the back of his own sheep
and spun into yarn by his own hands. Their shoes were repaired by his own
hands. Need you wonder that they prospered? Yet there were many
drawbacks encountered along the way.
(22) He also kept many swarms of bees and was very successful with
them, and they became quite a help to the income. At the present time we
see so many uses for honey for this and that. My mind wanders backward,
when I was a very little girl, and I well remember the goodies that their
eldest daughter, Eliza Ann, used to make; cake, cookies, currant bread and
seed bread; yes, and many other delicacies made from honey, taking the
recipes out of her noodle. She was adept in the culinary arts, second to none.
(23) Many little honey items of interest I have seen in an old account
book. Some in particular would be nice re-told again. One was, "Took a box
of honey to town, that was Mazomanie, 20 lbs. at 10 cents per pound.
57
(17)
Bought our Ettie some Sunday shoes, 2 lbs. brown sugar, one spool of coarse,
black thread." Now I want to tell you, I think those were the first pair, for
best, Ettie ever had. I well remember her telling me at school that her Father
had brought her a pair of Sunday shoes. I still remember how delighted she
was and how those pretty eyes sparkled. I felt quite a back number, for I still
had mine to shine up on Saturday night. If not done right, I was made to
give them another dab until it was done right. And believe me I was not the
only one that had only one pair, many a good many years older than I, had it
to do.
(24) Just another item: "Went to town, took 10 lbs. honey stopped at Dover
to see the blacksmith. Sold John Jones the honey and got a clevis made and
tires set, and still had a little coming for next emergency."
(25) Now I will tell you who this John Jones was; a fine looking
Welshman, Grandfather to our loved Eve, wife of our nephew Charles V.
Sutcliffe. If Grandpa and Grandma Sutcliffe could look back, me thinks I
would hear him say, "It do beat all, Sarah Ann, how the lads and lassies
have us all mixed up" with his little peculiar grunt and A-hem.
(26) I could go on with many pages that I like to recall in retrospection,
but state of mind forbids. But the point I tried to bring uppermost was that
they never went beyond their income and ability to pay (the chief cause of
today's depression when the innocent have to suffer for the wrong doings of
the other fellow.)
(27) Charles had always planned to visit his loved ones he left behind in
England. Now after many years of hard toil, building farm buildings and a
good solid frame house, and the older ones in the family were all grown up,
his plans materialized and he, in company with Thomas Hodkinson, set sail
on Friday, July 2, 1873. He reached Liverpool July 16th and found nephews
Dean Sutcliffe and Thomas Owen152 waiting for them, by their waving white
handkerchiefs.
(28) He had a glorious welcome and went to their home at Crewe, and
stayed overnight. The next day on to Leeds where he had a brother William
and a brother John. It was very affecting to hear him describe the meetings
of so many loved ones after an absence of 27 years; many nieces and
nephews having been born after his departure from England. One brother,
Henry had passed away and he visited his widow, and many, many nieces
and nephews on both sides of the family; besides his brothers John and
William Sutcliffe, and sisters: Susy, Mary and Marie. He visited with all of
152 In fact it was Thomas Camm; see Charles' Journal, entry for July 16 th.
58
them and all of their families. They had their happy reunions, all together
once more, but with the sad thought uppermost in their minds that the time
must soon come for the final sad farewells, never to meet on Earth again.
(29) He had a wonderful time never to be forgotten while he lived. He
went to the cemetery where his Father and Mother were layed to rest in
Adle Church yard, near Leeds, England. The time came for the final
goodbyes to his numerous relatives and he left Liverpool for America his
home on September 30, 1873, and got to Mazomanie October 18th where his
wife and family were all awaiting his return with thankful hearts that he had
returned safely to them. He thanking his Heavenly Father for His protection
and care over him on his hazardous journey and his safe return to his loved
family; fervently thanking the Giver of all good that he had his home on
American soil.
(30) They were all so happy to be all together again, but it was not for
long. Death invaded their home and claimed their dear little daughter, Mary
Elizabeth153, at the age of twelve years. This was a sadness that the whole
neighborhood shared with them, the grief in the loss of sweet little Mary,
loved by everyone that knew her.
(31) That was not all. After they had raised their nine remaining children
to manhood and womanhood they took two little grandchildren; Ralph and
Mamie Sutcliffe, children of John M. and Alice Knight Sutcliffe. The Mother
died in Spencer, Iowa, at the age of 21 years when little Mamie was an
infant only a few days old. Alice Knight Sutcliffe, the Mother, is layed to rest
in the Mazomanie cemetery.
(32) After a couple of years when Mamie had become a sweet, little
toddler, her tragic death154 occurred from choking to death on seed corn she
had put into her mouth while playing in the granary, while Uncle Charley
was fanning seed wheat. Imagine the grief of those Grandparents. And this
was not all. A few years later their son, George's wife, Emma Gould Sutcliffe,
passed away after the birth of their little daughter, Emma, only a few days
old. Again poor Grandmother opened her heart and arms and took two more
little motherless ones to her bosom and mothered them for many years.
(33) Now for some bright spots along the highway of their lives, was
Grandfather's birthday. It came on December 24th, but was always
celebrated on Christmas Day. It was a most joyous event and was looked
153 Born 26 June 1864, died 7 November 1876.
154 Per her headstone, she died 8 June 1883 at the age of 2 years, 1 month and 14 days. She was
interred in Mazomanie Cemetery.
59
forward to, not only their sons and daughters and their families, but also by
the nephews and nieces. How they loved to go to Uncle Charley's not only
then but whenever opportunity afford it. In my mind's eye I yet see that big,
long table loaded with all manner of good things. Today's menu does not
compare with it.
(34) Oh! yes, I knew where I had to sit for I belonged to that tail end of
the crowd. They sat at the table according to their ages; Robert and Amelia
next to his Father. Sometimes I have seen a Divine drop in his place, and
how Robert hated to be moved a peg down the line, and I knew his dinner
did not taste so good.
(35) I wish I could tell you of all I see in my mind's eye. How vividly I see
those dear ones; Mary Ann and Thomas Hodkinson, Will and Lilly Downs,
Sutcliffe and Arlene Parkin and their numerous progeny.
(36) Right here, before I forget, I want to tell you that Charles Sutcliffe's
sister, Henrietta Sutcliffe, married Benjamin Parkin. They had four children
that I know; Miss Lilly Parkin who married William Downs, Robert Parkin
who married Miss Sarah Jane Bady, Sutcliffe Parkin married Miss Arlene
Downs, and Thomas Parkin who married Miss Emily Hodkinson. This is how
the relationship to the C.W. Sutcliffe family comes into the Parkin's family.
(37) Thomas Hodkinson bought a farm from the Government in 1824 155, in
the neighborhood of the Charles Sutcliffe homestead. He was a farmer and
an ordained minister serving as pastor of the Mounds Creek Primitive
Methodist church. He and his wife, Sarah, had four children: Mary married to
Charles Rowley, Emily married to Thomas Parkin (son of Henrietta Sutcliffe
Parkin), and John, and one daughter Martha who died at the age of 22 years.
She is buried with her mother in the Mazomanie cemetery. After the death
of Thomas Hodkinson's first wife he returned to England with Charles
Sutcliffe in July 1873. There he married Charles' niece, Mary Ann Sutcliffe,
and daughter of John Sutcliffe. She was the widow of George Sutcliffe [We
have no record of Mary Ann's husband, George Sutcliffe] 156, of Leeds,
England. She has a son, Ernest, and a daughter, Harriette, by her first
marriage. Mary Ann and Thomas Hodkinson had three children: Ada
Hodkinson Winch (Philip), Anna Ester, and Wilfred Hodkinson. The children
of Mary Ann Hodkinson and their families are all descendants of John
Sutcliffe, brother of Charles W. Sutcliffe.
155 The date is obviously in error. Wisconsin land records show Thomas Hodkinson purchasing 40
acres on 1 November 1855, but it is unclear whether this is the purchase to which Jane is
referring.
156 In the original manuscript, this parenthetical comment was placed in a footnote.
60
Charles W. also had a brother, George Sutcliffe who came to America.
He married and had one daughter, Henrietta Sutcliffe Blomily, who had two
sons. Their home was in Cincinnati, Ohio157. Nothing has been heard of them
for many years. I think brother George was buried in an Ohio cemetery long,
long, ago, when a very young man.
(39) I must bring this little narrative to a close. After their well-spent lives,
each striving for the common good of all, Charles and Sarah Ann passed to
the Home Over There, their deaths occurring only a few days apart. They are
leaving one of the best farm homes in the southern part of Wisconsin, and to
many a source of sorrow that it could not remain in the family for all time158.
(40) To this meager little sketch, I will add, in the year 1884, April 23rd, I
became a member of the Sutcliffe family. A few days after our marriage I
went to the Parental home. There I was met at the door of him whose name
I bare, with a hug and kiss and I never went to that home during his life
time, that I missed that welcome. They gave me the best I had in life, a loyal
husband, Blakey Sutcliffe, the father of my three children: Harry Charles
married to Norma Stubley, Harold B. and Jennie Adele Henning (Albert). May
God grant they, with all of the other grandchildren, never disgrace the name
of Sutcliffe, but try to live honorable lives, and be just men and women for all
generations to come.
(41) Blakey's parting words to me, on the eve before his death were,
"Jennie (Jane) me lass, I love thee. I would rather have thy word than any
man's note." Those were sacred words to me, the last he ever spoke. I hope
no act of mine will ever cause a Sutcliffe to be ashamed of me, and I thank
God from the depths of my heart that Charles W. Sutcliffe was my
father-in-law.

Poem - OUR FAMILIES
Our families are like a book
Our children are the leaves,
We parents are the covers
That proceeding beauty gives.
At first the pages of the book
One blank and purely fair,
But time soon writeth memories
157 See Charles' Journal, footnote for the entry for July 20th.
158 By 1895 a portion of the northwest section of Charles' property had been sold, but the rest past to
eldest son, Robert, who was still in possession of it (together with a larger adjacent property) in
1915.

And painteth pictures there.
Love is the little golden clasp
That bindeth up the trust,
Oh break it not lest all the leaves
Should scatter and be lost.

1. IGI (William and Mary Bagot).
2. 1861 England Census (Baggotts). Citing no source, Kruse (accessed 3 July 2013) gives Mary's date of birth as 19
Oct 1809.
3. Date of death is presumed as Mary is head of household on the 1861 England Census (Baggotts).
4. Date of death is presumed as Mary appears in Charles' Journal (see entry for July 20). Sutcliffe Genealogy 1, p. 3,
gives both place of burial and a date of death. However, the date of death given there, 25 May 1866, must be in
67
error. Suspicion is thus cast on place of burial as well.
5. Mary Ann Bagot's Baptismal Record shows a Mary Ann Bagot, daughter of William (a silk dresser) and Mary,
baptized on Sep. 1838 in Halifax. There are no other records to date confirming a daughter Mary Ann.
6. Henrietta Bagot's Baptismal Record.
7. 1871 England Census (John W. Bagot). Record for John W. and Susannah Bagot family, with sons Richard W. and
Robert H, and mother-in-law Susannah Thompson. Susannah's maiden name is presumed from the mother-in-law.
John William appears in Charles' Journal; see the entries for August 25 th & 26th.
8. Richard Bagot's Baptismal Record.
9. Mary Sutcliffe's Baptismal Record.
10. Henrietta Bagott's Death Record records the burial of one Henrietta Sutcliffe Bagott, age 34, on 28 November
1865, in Huddersfield. Additionally, the Letter from Susey to Charles mentions the death of Henrietta Bagot. Seems
like the two are the same.

Notes
1. Jane Coldwell Sutcliffe, ¶6,11.
2. Wilson/Jaeger.
3. Wilson/Jaeger, citing no source, puts the date at 24 Jan 1854. While no authoritative evidence currently exists to
corroborate either year, it should be noted that a search of Wisconsin marriage records turns up two separate Iowa
County records, one for a “Mary Blackey”, the other for “William Caldwell”, both married 24 Jan 1853.
4. William Blakey's Baptismal Record gives date of birth as 6 Feb. William and Mary Blakey's Gravestone says 8 Feb,
however, the stone does not appear to be original. Wilson/Jaeger, citing no supporting evidence, gives place of
birth as Batley.
5. William Blakey's Baptismal Record.
6. William Blakey's Marriage Record.
7. William and Mary Blakey's Gravestone provides exact date of death. William Blakey's Mortality Record provides
month and year only.
8. Samuel and Nancy Blakey's Marriage Record.
9. John Hodgson Blakey's Baptismal Record.
71
10. Jane Coldwell Sutcliffe, ¶6, provides the exact date of birth, and makes the place of birth “Gildersan Armsley,
Yorkshire, England.” Wilson/Jaeger provides an exact date of death, but then cites only census information in
support.
11. Sarah Ann Blakey's Baptismal Record.
12. Charles & Sarah's Marriage Record.
13. Sarah Ann Sutcliffe's Obituary.
14. Charles & Sarah Sutcliffe's Gravestone.
15. Wilson/Jaeger. But she cites no source for either date or place of birth, and may simply be deducing the year from
the date of baptism.
16. Mary Hannah Blakey's Baptismal Record.
17. 1841 England Census (Wm Blakey), which, however, provides only the general year and Yorkshire County as
place of birth. Wilson/Jaeger provides Armley, but cites no supporting source. She may be relying on Mary
Hannah Blakey's Baptismal Record, which lists Armley as the place of abode at the time of Mary's baptism; if so, it
seems over-hasty.
18. William is listed on the 1895 Wisconsin Census (Wm Coldwell) as 1 male, 1 female, and as widowed on the 1900
US Census (Wm Coldwell).
19. Wilson/Jaeger adds Rachel to this family, though Jane Coldwell Sutcliffe, ¶6, doesn't know her. Wilson/Jaeger
cites the 1841 England Census (Sarah Ann Blakey), but she would appear to have the wrong family. That record
shows three females, Sarah Ann Blakey (age 15), Eliza and Rachel (both age 10) with the Wm. Firth family.
However, the 1841 England Census (Wm Blakey) finds Sarah home with her family. Nevertheless, currently there
are no other grounds for attaching Rachel to this family.
20. Note that while Kittle, p. 21, shows a William Blakely [sic] family arriving in 1845 as a party of seven, this cannot be
our William Blakely. While ships passenger lists do find a “Wm Bleckeely” arriving at New Orleans in May of 1845
aboard the Finland, the names, ages and number in the party are wrong; Wm Bleckeely is a baker; 1845 is, if Jane
Coldwell Sutcliffe (¶6) is to believed, a year too early; both Kittle and the 1850 US Census settle that family in
Dane, whereas the 1850 US Census (Wm Blakey) finds our family next door to Charles in Arena; and in any case,
our William Blakely and family appear on the passenger lists of the Sheridan arriving at the port of New York on 20
Aug 1846. Kittle, p. 25, also reports a James Blakey, party of six, arriving sometime between 1845 and 1849,
settling in Arena. However, while BTES membership lists show a William Blakey (member #182) and a William
Blakely (#912), there is no James of similar surname to be found either in the membership rolls or in the census
records of the area. It seems probable, then, that Kittle's James is, in fact, our William.
21. Sutcliffe Genealogy 1 provides the maiden name, Hodgson.
22. 1841 England Census (Wm Blakey).
23. 1850 US Census (Wm Blakey).
24. Eliza Jane, daughter of William and his second wife was, born in September 1839.
15. William Blakey and Mary Nichols' Marriage Records. The FreeBMD index finds a William Blakey and a Mary
Nichols on page 472 of volume 23, whose marriages were registered in Q4 1838 at Leeds. Whether they are our
William and Mary has yet to be proven.

1. Kruse, citing no source, says 11 Feb 1804. Calculating from the 1841 England Census (David Camm) yields about
1806. Elizabeth Ann's Baptismal Record suggests about 1804.
2. Elizabeth Ann's Baptismal Record.
3. 1851 England Census (Camm).
4. Date of birth is calculated from the 1851 England Census (Camm).
5. David and Betty Camm's Marriage Record.
6. There are baptismal records for two David Camms in Yorkshire, one baptized on 14 Jan 1801, the other on 14 Oct
1802, both in the parish of Sowerby, and both sons of “Saml and Sarah Camm”. While the former would push
David's date of birth back to 1800, which doesn't fit as comfortably with the 1851 England Census (Camm), it
cannot on that basis alone be dismissed.
75
7. Elizabeth appears on the 1841 England Census (David Camm), but by the 1851 England Census (Camm) David is
remarried. Elizabeth makes no appearance, and receives no mention, in Charles' Journal. There is a record of the
death of one Betty Camm registered in Halifax in 1845, but evidence connecting that Betty to this is lacking.
8. Calculating from the 1841 England Census (David Camm) gives birthdates of about 1827, about 1829, about 1832
and about 1834 for each of Mary Ann, Susey, Robert and Thomas, respectively. Calculating from the 1851 England
Census (Camm) gives birthdates of about 1828, about 1830 and about 1834 for Susey, Robert and Thomas
respectively.
9. Elizabeth Ann's Baptismal Record, where she is called simply “Betty”.

2. Letter from Susey to Charles. Written 8 Sept. 1866, the letter reads in part, “Old David Farrar, his wife, Son, James,
Sam & Rebecca are all Dead and buried many years ago....” The 1841 England Census (Farrar) finds the David
Farrers living next to the Sutcliffes on Low Lane in Horsforth. The 1851 England Census (Farrar) finds a strikingly
similar family in Bradford, with David listed as a widower. That the Farrars had removed to Bradford is supported
by the August 9th entry in Charles' Journal, in which Charles records, “David Farrar and I took tea with them, and
then went with him into Bradford.”
3. 1861 England Census (Shaw). Note that at the '81 census, Betty was living next door to her parents.
4. 1841 England Census (Farrar).
5. 1851 England Census (Farrar). See also footnote 2 above.
6. There are two marriage records for David and Hannah Farrar found. David & Hannah (Crowther) Farrar's Marriage
record records the birth of one David Farrar to Hannah Crowther on 24 Dec 1810 at Halifax, York, England, while
David & Hannah (Wilkinson) Farrar's Marriage record records a David Farrar marrying Hannah Wilkinson at
Halifax, St. John the Baptist, on 24 Dec 1815. There is no way at present to distinguish the two.

Notes:
1. Sarah Copley Hodkinson's Marriage Record (accessed 21 June 2013).
2. Dates of birth and death are from Thomas Hodkinson's Find-a-Grave Memorial. Place of birth is from the 1891
England Census (Thomas Hodkinson). Place of death is from Thomas Hodkinson's Burial Record.
3. Thomas was a laborer on the Boston Passenger Lists. He was a farmer on the 1870 US Census (Thomas
Hodkinson) and the 1880 US Census (Thomas Hodkinson). Jane Coldwell Sutcliffe, ¶37, says he was also a
minister of the Primitive Methodist Church. Also several contemporary obituaries find the Rev. Thos. Hodkinson
officiating, as recorded in the Dover Area Family CD supplement to Ghost Town Dover.
4. Thomas & Mary Ann Hodkinson's Marriage Registration.
5. Boston Passenger Lists show Thomas traveling with one Mary Hodkinson, age 22. Uncorroborated sources suggest
this is the former Mary Bennett, who died in England in 1884. The History of the Township and Village of
83
Mazomanie, p. 22 shows Thomas Hodkinson arriving in Arena, Wisconsin as a party of two. Thomas then married
Sarah Copley in 1846 in Wisconsin.
6. Emily's date of birth is calculated from the 1870 US Census (Thomas Hodkinson). Curiously, on the census, Emily's
name is crossed out and overwritten with information for Martha, age 18. Her place of birth comes from Myrtle
Mable Parkin's Birth Record.
7. The Family Data Collection (accessed 13 June 2013) provides more precise information for Martha: date of birth 9
January 1852, Black Earth, Dane Co., Wisconsin. died 1870.
8. Jane Coldwell Sutcliffe, ¶37, but does not provide her maiden name. Note some sources give her name as Sarah
Ann, but no records have yet corroborated this.
9. Martha's date of birth is calculated from the 1870 US Census (Thomas Hodkinson).
10. John's date of birth is calculated from the 1870 US Census (Thomas Hodkinson) and the 1880 U.S. Census Index
(Thomas Hodkinson).
11. The Family Data Collection (accessed 22 June 2013) provides more information for John: John Thomas, born 29
February 1864, Black Earth, Dane Co., Wisconsin. Married 24 December 1891, at Arena, Iowa Co., Wisconsin, to
Lida Bess Wilson. Died 26 February 1942, Dallas Hospital, Dallas, Oregon. Many Internet sources provide the
same data, but none cites anything more than census information and, in one case, the Oregon Death Index,
which lists merely a name and date of death.
12. Mary's date of birth is calculated from the 1870 US Census (Thomas Hodkinson).
13. The Family Data Collection (accessed 22 June 2013) provides more information for Mary: born 20 Jun 1856,
Dane, Black Earth, WI; parents Thomas Hodkinson, Sarah Copley; spouse Rowlley. Jane Coldwell Sutcliffe, ¶37,
tell us this was Charles Rowley. In an email to the author entitled "Re: Fwd: Acrobat reader~~" and 2 February
2005, Carol Davies, grand-daughter-in-law of Charles, says Mary was buried in Bayfield, Wisconsin.
14. Jane Coldwell Sutcliffe, ¶37, lists the names of the children, without birth information and apparently out of order.
15. The Family Data Collection (accessed 3 July 2013) gives more detailed information: birth 17 May 1849, Black
Earth, Dane Co., Wisconsin, husband surnamed Parkin. Jane Coldwell Sutcliffe, ¶37 tells us this is Thomas Parkin,
son of Charles Sutcliffe's sister Ann Henrietta.
16. Martha Hodkinson's Gravestone.
17. Date of burial is from Thomas Hodkinson's Burial Record. Place of burial is from Thomas Hodkinson's Burial
Record and Thomas Hodkinson's Find-a-Grave Memorial.
18. Date of death and place of burial from Sarah Copley Hodkinson's Gravestone.
19. Date of birth is calculated from Sarah Copley Hodkinson's Gravestone. Place of birth assumed as she with her
family immigrated to Wisconsin in 1845.
20. The Family Data Collection (accessed 3 July 2013) attests two additional children, neither of which can be
corroborated at present in other records: 1) Martha, b. 11 May 1848, Black Earth, Dane County, Wisconsin; d.
1850. 2) John, b. 26 Sept 1854, Black Earth, Dane County, Wisconsin; d. 1856.
21. John Hodkinson and Lida Wilson Marriage Records.
22. Sarah Copley's Baptismal Record.
23. Place of birth is from the 1870 US Census (Thomas Hodkinson).
24. Thomas & Emily Parkin's Marriage Record. Thomas' parents were Benjamin and Ann Parkins.

Notes:
1. Mary Ann Hodkinson's Find-a-Grave Memorial. One uncorroborated source makes Mary's date of death 25 Jan
1925.
2. Thomas Hodkinson's Burial Record.
3. Thomas & Mary Ann Hodkinson's Marriage Record tells us the marriage was registered during the third quarter
(July to September) of 1873. Since Charles' Journal makes no mention of a wedding in July or August, September
is assumed. Unconfirmed Internet sources make the exact date 27 Sept 1873.
4. Boston Passenger Lists make Thomas a laborer in 1845. Jane Coldwell Sutcliffe, ¶37, tells us he was both a farmer
and an ordained minister in the Primitive Methodist Church.
5. 1900 US Census (Mary A. Hodkinson). One unconfirmed source says she was born on 12 Dec 1875 in Black Earth,
Iowa County, Wisconsin and died in 1953.
6. Jane Coldwell Sutcliffe, ¶37, calls her Anna Ester. Mary Ann Hodkinson's Find-a-Grave Memorial, likely following
the 1900 US Census (Mary A. Hodkinson), calls her Annie E. She is Hannah on the 1880 US Census (Thomas
Hodkinson).
7. Thomas Hodkinson's Find-a-Grave Memorial. Place of birth is also given by the 1891 England Census (Thomas
Hodkinson).
8. Family history tells that Mary was the widow of a George Sutcliffe but, as even Jane Coldwell Sutcliffe, ¶37, admits,
85
evidence for George is lacking, and the birth records of Mary’s first two children, Ernest and Harriette, do not
indicate the father’s name. It is possible, though speculative, that Ernest and Harriette were illegitimate, and
George was a fiction created to provide a cover of legitimacy when Mary arrived in Wisconsin.
9. Jane Coldwell Sutcliffe, ¶37, calls her “Ada Hodkinson Winch (Philip)”. This is Philip Henry Winch, born according to
his draft card on 14 Sept 1886. The 1900 US Census (Mary A. Hodkinson) calls her Adia M.
10. Mary Ann Sutcliffe's Baptismal Record.
11. Boston Passenger Lists show Thomas traveling with one Mary Hodkinson, age 22. Uncorroborated sources
suggest this is the former Mary Bennett, who died in England in 1884.
12. Jane Coldwell Sutcliffe, ¶37, calls him simply Wilfred. Mary Ann Hodkinson's Find-a-Grave Memorial names him
Charles Wilford. On the 1900 US Census (Mary A. Hodkinson) he is Wilford.

Notes:
1. Jane Coldwell Sutcliffe, ¶37.
2. Ann Henrietta's Baptismal Record.
3. Ghost Town Dover, CD supplement, pp. 134-5. There is much more information on the William Downs family there.
Note that on p. 135 he is mistakenly called “Nathan M.”.
4. Ghost Town Dover, CD supplement, p. 135-6, where Sutcliffe is described as the “first son and second child”. Arlene
is sister to William Downs. There is much more information on the Sutcliffe Parkin family there.
5. The date given here is uncorroborated. While Kruse (accessed 1 July 2013), together with other sources, gives Ann
Henrietta's date of birth as 1821, it would appear that date is calculated from the 1841 England Census (Parkin),
where her age is given as 20. But this must be a rounded age, as her christening date makes clear.
6. Ben & Ann Parkin's Marriage Record.
7. Thomas & Emily Parkin's Marriage Record.
87
8. Jane Coldwell Sutcliffe calls her Henrietta throughout (cf. ¶37). However, she is Ann on most records; cf. Thomas &
Emily Parkin's Marriage Record and Ann Henrietta's Baptismal Record.
9. Thomas' place of birth is from Myrtle Mable Parkin's Birth Record and Thomas & Emily Parkin's Marriage Record.
10. Robert and Sarah J. Parkin's Marriage Record, where Sarah's parents were Samuel and Martha Batty.
11. Jane Coldwell Sutcliffe, ¶36, spells her name “Bady”. She is Batty most everywhere else; cf. Robert and Sarah J.
Parkin's Marriage Record.
12. The 1900 US Census (Robert Parkin) finds Robert and Sarah Jane in Merrimac, Sauk County, Wisconsin, with
children Maud M, Royal G, Lilla J and Ethel V. Robert's and Sarah's dates of birth are given as May and Jan
1844, respectively, with Sarah born in England, and Robert in Ohio.
13. In the Letter from John to Charles (1863), John mentions “Elizabeth Ann, her Brothers and father”. A further
reference in his Letter from John to Charles (1864) makes clear the reference is to Elizabeth Parkin, eldest child of
Henrietta, although other sources call her “Elizabeth Lilly” and “Miss Lilly”. The omission of mention of Henrietta in
the 1863 letter strongly implies that Henrietta was deceased.

27 Sutcliffe Genealogy 1, p. 4.
28. Osborne & Eliza Turnell's Gravestone.
29. Born in 1854, Osborne was the third child of Richard and Sarah Turnell. Osborne and Eliza were married before
the 1880 census, where they appear with their one-year-old son in Wisconsin. By the birth of their second child in
1883 they had relocated to Iowa. By 1886 they were in Nebraska, where their subsequent children were born.
30. The 1880 US Census (John Sutcliffe) finds a family of remarkable similarity in Nebraska: John and Alice Sutcliffe,
ages 29 and 20 respectively, together with 2-year-old Ralph. Both the mother and the child were born in Wisconsin.
Though the places of birth of John and his parents are inconsistent with our John, it should be noted that they are
also inconsistent with the information recorded for Ralph. While it's possible John and Alice were in Nebraska for a
brief time before relocating to Iowa, where Alice died in 1882, it cannot be conclusively determined. Charles W.
Sutcliffe, Jr.'s Obituary puts Mr. and Mrs. John Sutcliffe in Spencer, Iowa in 1886.
31. John H. Sutcliffe's Find-a-Grave Memorial.
32. Sutcliffe Genealogy 1, p. 5, and George Sutcliffe's First Marriage Record tell us that George married Emma E.
Gould on 1 Jan 1879 at Mazomanie. Sutcliffe Genealogy 1, p. 5, further tells us she died on 31 Mar 1886. Sutcliffe
Genealogy 1, p. 5, and George Sutcliffe's Second Marriage Record tell us he then married Elizabeth Abely on 21
May 1891 at Madison.
33. George Sutcliffe's Find-a-Grave Memorial.
34. Dean Sutcliffe (Wisconsin) Death Record.
35. Jane Coldwell Sutcliffe, ¶31, tells us that Alice died in Spencer, Iowa at the age of 21, when Mamie was “only a
few days old”. Calculating from Mamie Sutcliffe's Gravestone would make this late April, 1881, and thus put Alice's
date of birth at 1859/60. Alice Knight Sutcliffe's Memorial, conversely, says she was born in 1858 and died in 1882.
Sutcliffe Genealogy 1, p. 5, makes her date of death 26 Feb 1882.

38. The Blakey family gravestone (see Blakey H. Hodgson's Find-a-Grave Memorial) gives Jane's dates as 1861-1946
and her middle initial as H. We also learn they had a son, Harold B., who died in infancy. The BSFamilyTree gives
Jane's date and place of birth as 27 Jan 1861, Vermont, Dane, Wisconsin, but cites only census information in
support. It also makes her the daughter of Henry and Diana (Trener) Coldwell. Jane Coldwell Sutcliffe, ¶40, credits
Blakey and Jane with three children: Harry Charles, Harold B. and Jennie Adele.

• Very little of certainty is known
of George.
• Arrived in 1845 together with
Charles and may have come
initially to Wisconsin with him.
See footnote 7.
• Appears to have settled in
Ohio. See footnote 6.

3. Kruse (accessed 1 July 2013) and Wilson/Jaeger (accessed August 2012) give George's date of birth as 18 Oct
1824, with Wilson/Jaeger adding place of birth as Soyland, Yorkshire, England. Neither cites a source.
4. George Sutcliffe's Baptismal Record.
5. Jane Coldwell Sutcliffe, ¶38, says George “had one daughter, Henrietta Sutcliffe Blomily, who had two sons.”
Perhaps Blomily is intended as her married name. However another, uncorroborated, source says George married
Henrietta Blomily and had “at least” two daughters.
6. Jane Coldwell Sutcliffe, ¶38, says of George, “Their home was in Cincinnati, Ohio. Nothing has been heard of them
for many years. I think brother George was buried in an Ohio cemetery long, long, ago, when a very young man.” It
is also known that Charles' and George's sister, Henrietta Parkin, lived for a time in the late 1840s in Cincinnati;
perhaps George went to join her family.
7. While family history suggests George went directly to Ohio, there is some possibility he initially came to Wisconsin
with Charles in 1845. A man of George's name and age appears together with Charles on the Boston Passenger
Lists. Early letters from Charles' father to Charles in Wisconsin are addressed to “My sons”. And in one letter, the
father requests George be allowed a share in Charles' land.

William's date of birth is more consistent with census information (see the 1851 England Census (John Sutcliffe),
the 1861 England Census (John Sutcliffe) and the 1871 England Census (John Sutcliffe)), there is no other reason

Notes
1. The Sutcliffe Genealogy 1, p. 3, gives Robert's date of birth as 1784; this can also be calculated from the R&H
Sutcliffe Gravestone, Robert Sutcliffe's Burial Record and the 1861 England Census (Bagotts). The last also
provides place of birth.
2. Kruse (accessed 3 July 2013), citing no source, gives Robert's date of birth as 4 April 1784 and place as “Longham,
England”. While 4 April would be consistent with a 4 May baptism, it would make Robert some five weeks shy of
his 79th birthday at his death and thus contradict a strict reading of the R&H Sutcliffe Gravestone. “Longham,
England” is clearly in error.
3. Date of death is given by the Sutcliffe Genealogy 1, p. 3, the R&H Sutcliffe Gravestone, Robert Sutcliffe's Memorial
Card and Robert Sutcliffe's Probate Record. The last also provides place of death. Note that the Sutcliffe
Genealogy 1, p. 3, gives “Longham, Horsforth, England” as the place of death. No attempt to date has succeeded
in finding a “Longham” associated with Horsforth.
4. Ben & Ann Parkin's Marriage Record.
5. Henrietta Sutcliffe's Burial Record.
6. Robert Henry Sutcliffe's Memorial Card provides date of death, age at death, and date and place of interment. The
1861 England Census (Robert H Sutcliffe) provides place of birth. One uncorroborated source puts his date and
place of birth as 18 Oct 1822 in Soyland, and his place of death as Highfield Place, New Wortley, Yorkshire.
7. Sutcliffe Genealogy 1, p. 3, says Robert Henry was buried at Adel (aka Addle) Church.
8. Elizabeth appears as “Betty” in nearly every record, beginning with Elizabeth Ann's Baptismal Record, through the
1841 England Census (Camm) (which also provide's David's name). Exceptions are Kruse, where she is “Elizabeth
Ann 'Betty' Sutcliffe” and Sutcliffe Genealogies 1, 2 and 3 where she is “Elizabeth Ann or Ann Elizabeth”.
9. Sutcliffe Genealogy 1, p. 3. But the date of death, at least, must be in error, as Mary was alive during Charles' visit
in 1873.
10. Note that while both Kruse and Sutcliffe Genealogy 1 agree on date of birth, Kruse only gives Yorkshire as the
place of birth. It is Sutcliffe Genealogy 1 which specifies Soyland.
11. Elizabeth Ann's Baptismal Record; her name is given as Betty.
12. Thomas' name comes from Sutcliffe Genealogy 1, p.3.
13. One unconfirmed source says Ann was born on 2 Sep 1818 in Yorkshire, England. While Kruse (accessed 1 July
2013), together with other sources, gives Ann Henrietta's date of birth as 1821, it would appear that date is
calculated from the 1841 England Census (Parkin), where her age is given as 20. But this must be a rounded age,
as her christening date makes clear.
14. Citing no source, Kruse (accessed 3 July 2013) gives Ann's date and place of death as 1859 in Yorkshire,
England.
106
15. Elizabeth Ann's Baptismal Record.
16. Note that while Kruse gives John's middle name as William, she is apparently confusing this John with his son,
John William, whom she does not mention.
17. Kruse, citing no source, gives the second wife's name as "Alice". John & Miriam Sutcliffe's Marriage Record says
Miriam. The 1851 England Census (John William) reports her as Maria.
18. Robert Sutcliffe's Burial Record.
19. IGI (Charles Sutcliffe). The IGI additionally supplies Charles' christening date and place: 22 April 1821, Ripponden,
Yorkshire, England.
20. Henrietta Wolstenholme's Baptismal Record.
21. IGI (Henrietta Worstenholm) spells Henrietta's surname Worstenholm.
22. While we know from Henrietta Sutcliffe's Baptismal Record her father was Dean Worstenholme, the IGI offers up
two candidates in the Elland/Ripponden area of the proper age to be Henrietta's father: 1. Dean Wolstenholme,
born about 1751 in Elland, Yorkshire, spouse Susey Crowther, married 8 Feb. 1776; 2. Dean Worstenholme,
christened 2 March 1753, in Ripponden, Yorkshire; father Wm Worstenholme. Unfortunately, we do not currently
have enough information to distinguish between the two. The lack of determinative evidence aside, we must
mention several intriguing pieces of circumstantial evidence. One is Sutcliffe Genealogy 1, p. 1, which states the
following: "We also found among papers which were grandfather's and grandmother's [Charles and Sarah Sutcliffe]
a 'In Memoriam' card on which is the name Crowther Wolstenholme, died March 16, 1870, age 77, buried at
Kirkcliff, Ripponden Church." The second is a passing mention of one “Uncle Crowther” in the Letter from John to
Charles (1868). Finally, there is Crowther Wolstenholm's Marriage Record, showing one Crowther Wolstenholm, of
Soyland, born about 1798, marrying at Elland, St. Mary's, Halifax, Sarah Goodyear on 21 Feb 1838. This
Crowther's father was Dean Wolstenholm (It is but coincidence that Amos Crowther was a witness; his name
appears on every marriage record.)
23. Kruse (Betty) makes the mother Susy Crowther. She cites no source, but may be relying on the IGI. If so, she is
overly hasty; see footnote 22 above.
24. Kruse, citing no source, gives her birthdate as 11 Feb 1804. While this is consistent with her baptismal date, it
must be considered unsourced. Calculating from the 1841 Census (Camm) yields abt. 1806, though keeping in
mind that ages reported on that census were often rounded. To date, we can get no closer to her date of birth than
Elizabeth Ann's Baptismal Record. Thus, abt. 1804 is assumed.
25. Susy Sutcliffe's Baptismal Record.
26. Maria Sutcliffe's Baptismal Record.
27. Dates of birth and death are from Kruse (accessed 1 July 2013). She also gives Ripponden as the place of birth,
but she may be confusing this with place of baptism.
28. David & Betty Camm's Marriage Record.
29. Kruse. No source is cited. While Kruse gives the place of marriage as “Elland, Elland, Yorkshire” this must be in
error as in the early 19th century there was but one parish church in Elland, St. Mary's.
30. David was remarried by the 1851 census, and so Elizabeth must have passed away between the censuses of '41
and '51. We can be relatively certain she is gone, not merely divorced, as she makes no appearance, nor receives
any mention whatsoever, in Charles' Journal. FreeBMD: Deaths does have an entry for a Betty Camm, whose
death was registered in Q3 (Jul-Aug-Sep) 1845 at Halifax. However, a coincidence of names alone is insufficient to
identify that Betty with this.
31. Charles & Sarah Sutcliffe's Marriage Record. Sutcliffe Genealogy 1, p. 3 makes the date 27 Nov 1847.
32. Dean Sutcliffe's Baptismal Record.
33. One uncorroborated source says John was buried at the Beckett Street Cemetery, also known as Burmantofts.
34. 1841 England Census (Parkin) names them Ben and Ann. Kruse, citing no source, makes them Ann Henrietta and
Benjamin Thomas. She is Ann on Ann Henrietta's Baptismal Record. Jane Coldwell Sutcliffe, ¶36, calls them
“Henrietta” and “Benjamin”. The Sutcliffe Genealogies 1, 2 and 3 don't know her at all, unless they're conflating her
with “Elizabeth Ann or Ann Elizabeth”.
35. Jane Coldwell Sutcliffe, ¶1.
36. George Sutcliffe's Baptismal Record.
37. Elizabeth Ann's Baptismal Record (1804) lists Robert as a weaver. On both Charles' (1821) and George's (1825)
Baptismal Records he was a carpenter. On the 1841 England Census (R. Sutcliffe) he was a mechanic. And on the
1861 England Census (Bagotts) he was a “retired machine maker, formaly[sic] mechanic”.
107
38. Residences: 1804, '21, '25, Soyland, Yorkshire. See Elizabeth Ann's, Charles' and George's Baptismal Records,
respectively. 1841, '63, Horsforth; see the 1841 England Census (R. Sutcliffe) and Robert Sutcliffe's Probate
Record.
39. Kruse, citing no source, gives date of birth as 19 January 1782 and place as Ripponden, Yorkshire. The Sutcliffe
Genealogy 1, p. 3, gives the date as simply 1782, which can also be calculated from the R&H Sutcliffe Gravestone.
40. Date of death is given by the Sutcliffe Genealogy 1, p. 3, and the R&H Sutcliffe Gravestone.
41. Kruse, citing no source, gives Susey's birthdate as 1 Dec 1805.
42. Robert Sutcliffe's Baptismal Record.
43. Date and place of birth from Wilson/Jaeger (accessed August 2012) which, however, only cites Boston Passenger
Lists and George's Baptismal Record, neither of which contain place or date of birth. This footnote appears to no
longer be used. Delete it?
44. Kruse, citing no source, gives Susy's date of birth as 1 Dec 1805. Calculating from the 1861 England Census
(Shaw) yields about 1806. The latter also gives place of birth.
45. The 1851 England Census (Wilkinson) makes Maria's birthdate about 1808, but since her baptismal date doesn't
leave room for an '08 birth, abt 1807 is assumed. Another uncorroborated source makes her birthdate 8 Nov 1807.
46. Thomas and Susy Shaw's Marriage Record.
47. Susey, Mary and William make appearances in Charles' Journal.
48. Richard & Maria Wilkinson's Marriage Record.
49. The 1861 England Census (Baggotts) suggests about 1810, which conflicts with her baptismal date; thus abt 1809
is assumed. In addition, Mary is head of household and a widow.
50. Kruse gives her date of birth as 19 Oct 1809, but does not cite a source.
51. Mary Sutcliffe's Baptismal Record.
52. Note that though in many hand-me-down genealogies such as Kruse Mary is often referred to as Mary Ann.
However, to date no known vital record or contemporary writing – such as Charles' Journal – provides a middle
name.
53. William & Mary Bagott's Marriage Record.
54. William & Jane Sutcliffe's Marriage Record.
55. Wilson/Jaeger (accessed 3 July 2013) gives William's birthdate as 26 Aug 1811, but only cites his baptismal record
in support.
56. William Sutcliffe's Baptismal Record.
57. John Sutcliffe's Baptismal Record.
58. Calculated from John and Sarah Sutcliffe's Marriage Record. Calculating from the 1871 England Census (John
Sutcliffe) gives abt 1817. Kruse, citing no sources, gives 19 July 1816 as the date of birth.
59. Sutcliffe Genealogy 2 has the following notation for Mary: “died May 25, 1856. Buried at St. James Chruch,
Woodside, Horsforth, England.” Sutcliffe Genealogy 3 has the same note (except that a typographical error makes
the year 1866). These must be transcribed in error, however, as Mary makes several appearances in Charles'
Journal in 1873. So the question must be to whom does this information belong?
60. John Sutcliffe's Death Record: shows John's death registered in Q1 (Jan-Feb-Mar) 1875. One uncorroborated
source gives his date of death as 20 Feb 1875.
61. John and Miriam Sutcliffe's Marriage Record lists John as a widower. Mary Ann Sutcliffe's Baptismal Record tells
us his previous wife's name was Harriet. We know she must have passed away between Mary Ann's birth and
John and Miriam's marriage. One uncorroborated source claims Harriet's surname was Thomas. Both John and
Miriam Sutcliffe's Marriage Record and John and Miriam Sutcliffe's Banns Record tell us John's second marriage
was to Miriam Mason at Woodhouse, St. Mark's, on 27 Feb 1842. Charles W. was a witness. John and Sarah
Sutcliffe's Marriage Record tells us his third marriage was to widow Sarah Pickersgill Johnson at Leeds, All Saints,
on 2 Aug 1856.
62. Kruse gives Leeds as the place of birth. The 1851 England Census (John Sutcliffe) reports Soyland. The 1871
England Census (John Sutcliffe) clearly reads Leyland, Yorkshire, but the only Leyland I've been able to locate in
Yorkshire is Leylands Rd. near Lovell Park in southeast Leeds. The style of handwriting of the day suggests the
possibility the original transcriptionist misread “Ley” for “Soy”. Soyland seems further supported by the fact that in
between at least 1804 and 1825 Robert and Henrietta were living in Soyland.
108
63. Sutcliffe Genealogy 1, p. 3.
64. Kruse (accessed 3 July 2013) and Wilson/Jaeger (accessed August 2012) give the date of birth as 18 Oct 1864.
Wilson/Jaeger adds place of birth as Soyland, Yorkshire, England. No sources are cited.
65. Of George Jane Coldwell Sutcliffe, ¶38, states: “He married and had one daughter, Henrietta Sutcliffe Blomily, who
had two sons. Their home was in Cincinnati, Ohio.... I think brother George was buried in an Ohio cemetery long,
long ago when a very young man.” What Jane doesn't note is that George appears on the passenger manifests in
1845, indicating that he and Charles came to America together, or that several letters, now part of the Edna G.
Culver Family Papers collection, written to Charles from his father and brother, John, during his early years in
Wisconsin, speak as if George were with Charles in Iowa County. It is known that Charles' and George's sister, Ann
Henrietta, lived in Cincinnati for a time in the late 1840s. Perhaps George initially accompanied Charles to
Wisconsin before joining their sister in Ohio.
66. Kruse, citing no source. For place of birth, she gives only Yorkshire. Sutcliffe Genealogy 1, p. 3, specifies Soyland.
67. Charles Sutcliffe's Baptismal Record.
68. Robert Henry and Mary Sutcliffe's Marriage Records. One uncorroborated source says St. Peter's Parish in Leeds.
69. Robert Henry Sutcliffe's Baptismal Record.
70. Jane Coldwell Sutcliffe, ¶1, gives the children as follows: sons George, Harry, John, William, Robert, Dean,
Charles, and daughters Susie, Mary, Maria and Henrietta. Note the omission of Betty and the addition of Harry. No
known record of Harry exists.
71. Ann Henrietta's Baptismal Record.
