1822 Crowle\nEnclosure Award<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

William Ducker awarded the plot of land, numbered 207, on\nGodknow Common. It would appear that they built a property on this land and\nused the land as a garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometime before 1841 they built another house on part of the property\nthey were using as a garden.  It appears\nthat the Drinkalls were already living in the property as the 1841 census shows\nthat they were already living next door to William Ducker and his wife\nElizabeth. (The date of the census was 6 June 1841 \u2013 before they had purchased the\nproperty).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1841 14th<\/sup> October<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Drinkall was admitted to the court in 14th<\/sup> October 1841 on the surrender of William Ducker and his wife Elizabeth. [From 1863 surrender]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

30 March\n1851 Census<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Drinkall and his wife are now living next to Sarah Ducker,\nwho is shown as a widow and described as an Annuitant.  William Ducker\u2019s first wife Elizabeth Wraith\nhad died in 1847. William, who had 3 young children, married Sarah Carr in 1848.\nHe died in 1850. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

John is described as a Flax Dresser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7th<\/sup>\nApril 1861 Census<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the 1861 census John is described as a farmer of 10 acres\nof land. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have a 3-year-old child, Anthony Seaton, living with\nthem described as a boarder. John and his wife did not have any children of\ntheir own so this may have been a form of fostering. Anthony\u2019s parents, George,\na farmer, and Ann, were living in Ealand with another two children.

Property described as \u201cThat cottage or tenement with the\nbarn, stable and outbuildings thereto adjoining erected and built upon a piece\nor parcel of land or ground formerly a garden on the commonside of Crowle\ncontaining in length from East to West thirty two yards and in breadth from\nNorth to South twelve yards or thereabouts bounded by the Common Road to the\nWest by land and premises of Sarah Ducker on the south and on the East and\nNorth by the property of Earl Manvers\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Drinkell was admitted to the court in 14th<\/sup>\nOctober 1841 on the surrender of William Ducker and his wife Elizabeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conditional\nSurrender<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In consideration of a sum of \u00a3100 paid to George Campsall by\nGeorge Liddle of Doncaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Property described as \u201cThat cottage or tenement divided into\ntwo dwelling houses with the barn, stable and outbuildings thereto adjoining\nerected and built upon a piece or parcel of land or ground formerly a garden on\nthe commonside of Crowle containing in length from East to West thirty two\nyards and in breadth from North to South twelve yards or thereabouts bounded by\nthe Common Road to the West by land and premises of Sarah Ducker on the south\nand on the East and North by the property of Earl Manvers and now in the\npossession of the said George Campsall and his tenants\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subject to 19th<\/sup> June pay George Liddle<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Countersigned 4th<\/sup> May 1901<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catherine Jane Turner Executrix appointed by the will of\nEliza Turner proved in Wakefield on the 21st<\/sup> July 1898 and which\nsaid Eliza Turner was Executrix under he will of George Liddle who died 12th<\/sup>\nMarch 1895. Acknowledge receipt of all principal money and interest owing by\nvirtue of the conditional surrender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conditional surrender is an early form of mortgage \u2013 my\nunderstanding is that William and John Goodchild Cundall, mentioned in the\ndocument as two customary tenants of the manor of Crowle are included because George\nLiddle has not been admitted to the Manor of Crowle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2nd<\/sup>\nApril 1871 Census  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Drinkall, described as a farmer of 6 acres, wife Margaret\nand Anthony Seaton, again described as a lodger, appear to have moved to Crowle\nMoors, just beyond Newbig described as being in the West Riding of Yorkshire.\nBy 1881 census Anthony has married. Margaret died in 1885 and John died in\n1901.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

George Campsall married his wife Lucy in 1856. In 1861 they\nare living with 1 daughter at Tudworth, near Thorne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1863 they move into the property that became known as\nClifton House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3rd<\/sup>\nApril 1881 Census<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By this time George s described as foreman at a Tillage\nworks.

5th<\/sup>\nApril 1891<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By 1891 George and his family are living at Medge Hall where\nhe is a labourer at Peat works<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am taking a bit of a jump to conclude that Clifton House is occupied by Ann E Lee in the 1891 census, despite being described as being on Gas House Road (which would normally be the lower end of Cross Street). However, the number of properties described as being on Gas House Road seems too large. Also by 1901<\/g> the property is described in the occupation of Mrs Lee which would imply she was head of the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ann Elizabeth Lee is a retired Dressmaker and is living with\na daughter, Emma Woodward, four grandchildren and a lodger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ann\u2019s husband William Lee was a butcher who died in 1872.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
