Edward Jopling/Jobling 1828-1892
Posted: 17 Feb 2021, 13:31
Hello Everyone
Edward was my husband's 3rd gt grandfather.
I have researched his life very thoroughly and have all the pieces except one.
Brief Bio
Bn 1828 East Rainton Durham to Thomas Jobling and Dorothy Ramshaw
1841 census for whole Family is missing
1851 census Usworth Colliery village with parents, engine driver
13 Nov 1852 marr. Sarah Musther (various spellings!) St Andrews Church Newcastle upon Tyne
son George 1854-1856
dgtr Jane Charlotte 1855-1856
dgtr Rebecca 1857-1935
son George 1860-1926
1861 census Howden North Bedburn colliery engine driver
son Thomas 1863-1868
son Thomas Edward 1870-1952
1871 census The Queen's Head Adelaide St Southwick Sunderland, Lic Vic
1881 census Lanark House Pear Tree Green Southampton Hampshire
1891 Palmyra Villa, Woolston, Southampton, Hampshire
30 Jan 1892 death.
I have thoroughly researched Edward and his Family BUT, in his obituary, it was written that Edward lost a foot. I think this was probably the reason he left the mining industry and briefly took the Queen's Head, before moving with his wife, and children who were still alive, and set up The Durham Coal Wharf on the banks of the Itchen in Woolston Southampton in the 1870s, selling coal to the local community.
To date I have not managed to find details of his mining accident. I have managed to narrow the timing down as follows:-
According to his son Thomas' death cert, Thomas died 7 October 1868. The Family were living at Alma Cottage, Pelton Fell Durham and Edward was recorded as an engine driver.
By the time son Thomas Edward was born in August 1870 the Family were living at The Queen's Head.
If anyone can find any details of the accident I would be enormously grateful.
Thank you
