The following “J. W. Moorhouse” image found in Stanley Appleyard’s photo collection establishes the Moorhouse Appleyard Jackson connection. Doris Irene Jackson his future wife, and Alice Stanley’s half sister are linked through Gerber Road, Barnsley. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was this image doing in Album 3 of Stanley’s photo collection? The image on page 45 is unconnected with surrounding images. There had to be a reason for its inclusion in the album. So, I had to find the location of this image. Somehow, I traced to 12 Market Hill Barnsley. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This second image also recognisable as Market Hill Barnsley confirms this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joseph William Moorhouse<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Joseph William Moorhouse appears in all census records between 1871 and 1911. He dies in Scarborough in 1946, the probate records shows his widow’s full name a Alice Maud Mary Moorhouse. This identifiers her as Alice Maud Mary Carr. Firstly, the 1901 census show Joseph and Alice living at 5 Gawber Road, Barnsley. Joseph’s profession is also shown as Pharmaceutical Chemist. Secondly, By 1911 Joseph and Alice the census shows them living above the shop at 12 Market Hill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alice Maud Mary Carr<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Alice was born in 1870. The 1871 census shows her living at Stourton Villas, Rothwell. Also shown is her father Frank Carr, a drysalter. He was to die, a year later, in a grinding machine at his mill. Alice’s mother, Mary Ellen Smith[6]<\/a><\/sup>, is the key to this story. In the 1891 census Mary Ellen is living at High Hoyland Hall, and now married to Arthur Appleyard. Also shown are Alice aged 20 step daughter and Stanley Appleyard aged 5 son to Arthur and Mary Ellen. Alice is Stanley’s half sister. Also shown on the 1891 census is Stanley’s elder brother Frank Appleyard, was Frank so named in memory of Mary Ellen’s first husband Frank Carr?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gawber Road, Barnsley<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The 1901 census shows Stanley’s half sister Alice Maud Mary living at 5 Gawber Road. Also living in Gawber Road are Richard Jackson and his wife Ada Annie (Crawshaw) and their daughters Doris Irene and Madelaine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Jackson Connection<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The census records for 1911 show Doris and her sister Madelaine living with their parents at 43 Gawber Road in Barnsley. Doris is 14 years old at this date. A year later, by 1912, the Richard Jackson and family are living at 41 Harrow View in Harrow. Seven years later, in 1919 Stanley Appleyard marries Doris Irene Jackson in Harrow. The conclusion has to be that Stanley came to know the Jackson family also living in Gawber Road. The assumption is that Stanley would visit Gawber Road to visit his half sister Alice. This in turn explains how Stanley must have come to now their daughters Doris and Irene. So the Moorhouse Appleyard Jackson connection has been established and the reason for “J. W. Moorhouse” image found in Stanley Appleyard’s photo collection explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
