Thomas Lodge and Mary Baildon

This is as far back as we have traced the Lodge branch of the family. These were the parents of David Lodge and his six siblings.

Thomas was born in 1776 in Yorkshire. He married Mary in 1801. The 1841 census has him resident in Kirkheaton, Yorkshire. The 1841 census records his occupation as labourer. He died in 1849 in Huddersfield.

Mary was born in 1780 in Lepton, Huddersfield, Yorkshire. The 1841 census states her occupation as winder and has her resident in Kirkheaton. After her husband's death, the 1851 census has her resident in Lepton.  She died later that year in Lepton.

Ann Castle

Ann was the wife of David Lodge. She was born in 1821 in Lepton, Yorkshire. As far as I can trace, she had no siblings.

She married David in 1841 in Kirkheaton, Yorkshire. The 1841 census has her resident in  Kirkheaton and then the 1841 census onwards places her in Lepton.

The 1861 census records her occupation as woollen weaver.

She died in Lepton.

David Lodge

David is my great great grandfather. He was born in 1816 in Yorkshire.

The records I have on him, reveal the following:

1816 - christening in Kirkheaton, Yorkshire
1830 - he appears in the bankrupt directory. He is resident in Almondbury, Huddersfield and working as a fancy manufacturer
1841 - he married Ann Castle in Kirkheaton
1841 - working as a fancy weaver
1851 census - resident in Lepton, working as a cotton dyer

He died in 1860.
