William Thacker left Holbeach as a young man. This was the time of the Napoleonic wars and press gangs were operating all the time in the area of Kings Lynn. Many young men left the coastal areas in that vicinity to avoid being pressed into the Navy. William Thacker appears to have gone to Rugby, where he married Anne Miller when he was only 20 years old. He must have gone to Coventry to find work with Cash's Ribbon Company and did well enough to become a pattern drawer, not an ordinary weaver. He appears as a widower on the 1851 census. living in Cook Street, Coventry. He is still working on the 1861 census aged 79.

Willliam Simmonds was enrolled as an apprentice carpenter and joiner to his father on 15 Jun 1826. He was one of the children of Mrs Bailey's Charity. He was enrolled again as an apprentice weaver to James Marshall, ribbon manufacturer on 6 Dec 1827. It appears that the practice of apprenticing the boys, and paying the fee to their fathers in order to maximise the benefits to the family, was a standard practice of Mrs Bailey's Charity. William then transferred his apprenticeship at a date when a refund situation could be avoided.
The 1841 census has William aged 28, his wife aged 26, and Mary aged 5, all as ribbon weavers. One hopes this is a mistake as a 5 year old would not surely be employed at such a task. They were living at Brick Kiln Lane. In 1851, the same family, with Mary aged 14 apparently the only child, was living in King William Street. All were ribbon weavers
By 1881,William, lived at 73 Gosford Street, Coventry, with his daughter Mary. His occupation at that time was assurance collector. There is no mention of Jane, but William is not described as a widower.
The 1851 census shows a John Simmonds living at Shakespeares Head, Spon St, Coventry, aged 16, watch springer apprentice, with William Ward aged 25, watch springer apprentice, Sarah Ann Ward, 25, wife, and John Ward, aged 1. This family must be connected somehow to the Ward family who were witnesses at Joseph and Frances Simmonds marriage in 1840. I do not know if John was William's son.

SIMMONDS, William (I1014)

876

George was said to have served in the Crimean War [1853-56].
There are three children still not traced, born between 1848 and 1855, two girls and one boy. One would assume that the boy would have been called George.

FEARNSIDE, Jane Elizabeth (I188)

887

[Notes by John Manson - 2005] Willam Manson and Margaret Duncan: Birth records show 8 children, earliest isAlexander, born 1766, latest is Robert, 1787. This would put Williams birth date around 1741 - 1751. In Thurso,there is only one birth for a William Manson in that period- Sept 14, 1747. That would put him at age 19 with firstchild, and at age 40 when he had their last child, Robert(our line). That wouold be consistant with the 1841 census- he would have been 95 years old.

MANSON, William (I577)

[Notes by Norman manson - 1992]
Carolyn: Red-headed youngest daughter of Alexander, afterher mother had
died, she eventually married a man by the name of Wilbert McBride, a
successful insurance salesman operating in Regina. Heeventually rose to
become manager of his company, I believe. Never had anychildren of their
own, they were very ready to adopt one in the form of theirniece, Lesley,
youngest child of her oldest sister Winnifred. It was not ahappy experiment,
since Lesley never had any use for the woman who nurturedher through her
youth and adolescence. Lesley bitterly resented the factthat she had been
given to her aunt, and she never forgave either her motherfor surrendering her
nor her aunt who became her foster mother. A sadly misguidedchild, with
bitterness in her heart to the end of her short life!

MANSON, Caroline Caduer (I264)

891

[Notes by Norman Manson - 1992]
Like a true Manson, Norman (senior) was born a blond, pink-
cheeked, blue-eyed son of the north -a typical Norseman. Asyou may know,
the name MANSON is Norwegian but the Mansons of Norwaycrossed over into
Scotland sometime in the Ilth or 12th century, where theyintermarried with the
local Pictish descendants -they who so vigorously opposedRoman invasion of
Scotland many centuries before. Norman was born in Montrealin 1880, almost
the last scion of his parents. When his father died in 1905,Norman married
Marie-Antoinette Senez, the younger daughter of parents whoalready had at
least three sons, and an older daughter. Antoinette was theyoungest in her
family. Brought up in the Catholic faith, she early rebelledagainst the religious
teaching to which she was exposed. At the age of 13, she ranaway from her
parochial school, and stoutly refused to go back. She waseventually placed in
an English-speaking Protestant school, where she was placedunder the tutelage
of a blond-blue-eyed young girl by name, Evelyn Manson. Theuickly became
friends, and so remained for the rest of their lives.Beginning 1907, Norman
and Antoinette begat five sons, and a single daughter.

MANSON, Norman St. Clair (I554)

892

[Notes by Norman Manson - 1992] Ann was probably the eldest sister. She moved to Canada in the early 184O's, with her husband Henry Rose.

Child #2 -name, details unknown Child #3 -died at birth.

MANSON, Ann (I293)

893

[Notes by Norman Manson - 1992] Roberts oldest son was giventransportation money, and he eventually settled himself inGlasgow, where he became a travelling salesman. Findingthis enterprise not very renumerating, he lated sailed toCanada, at Ann's (his sisters) urging. Married once, but noissue.

[Notes from census data:

MANSON, William (I173)

894

[Notes by Norman Manson - 1992] The second son in age, aftera sharp argument with his father relative to hours at whichhe had to return to the family home after an evening out'on the town', came home late one evening to find himselflocked out, and the rest of the family dared not admit himagainst their father's wishes. Robert, accordingly, turnedround, returned to Thurso, where he staved overnight withfriends. Later the next day, he was shipped out to India,where he died on active dutv.

her after she had borne him three children -a girl, aboy(Douglas), and another
girl, Lesley.
