Frederick
William Hargreaves |
Birth |
16 August 1858 in Brook House,
Blackburn, Lancashire [registered in
Blackburn, September 1858]. |
|
Cannot be found on the 1861 census,
but we know his father was Henry Unsworth Hargreaves, a deputy coroner in Blackburn,
married to Alice (née Fair). |
|
According to the 1871
census, Frederick W. and John, along with their two sisters, are living at
Unsworth Lodge in 44 Wellington Street in Blackburn, with a
housekeeper and two servants. No mention of parents. |
|
According to the 1881
census, Fredk W. is a law student and head over the household, including
John, an articled solicitors clerk, and their younger sister, a
housekeeper and servant. They still live at Unsworth House. |
|
"Hannah Dickson, domestic servant, in the
employ of Mr. Fredk. Hargreaves, Wilpshire, was brought before the
county justices at Blackburn, this morning, on suspicion of having
stolen a pony and trap, together with the harness, the property of
her employer.―Supt. Myres said that the prisoner, along with three
men, was seen driving the pony and trap to Ribchester, and on
returning home the men left her. She then drove through Mellor
Brook, along Preston New-road, where she was taken into custody.―For
the defence, Mr. Polding said the girl thought that during her
master's absence she would like a drive, and accordingly asked the
men to gear the pony, and they went together to the places
named.―The magistrates dismissed the case." -
