    Default Flatman

    Hi Alan,
    I am not sure if you know or whether you are asking what a 'Flatman' was? Anyway he was a boatman who used flat-bottom boats as a means of transport. There is an index of boat people on the Wolverhampton canal system and the name Hatton appears on it:-

    Do you have him on the censuses?

    Hi alanjohn,
    Did Samuel Hatton live anywhere along the R.Weaver (maybe Northwich or Winsford) the Hattons were one of the well known families of flatmen/watermen on the R.Weaver. It might be a little late for the date you have quoted, but look at the register of weighed flats from the Northwich Day Books at https://www.geocities.com/fountalnpen/flats.html
    Regards
    odessa.

    Default Samuel HATTON

    In case you do not have Samuel in the 1841 census, this could be him in Over, Cheshire:

    HO107/96/27, folio 13, page 19
    Stock's Stairs

    Saml HATTON 40 Flatman
    Saml do 6
    Martha do 15
    Eliza do 11
    Sarah do 8
    John do 2

    All born in the county. The next record down is that of a William HATTON, aged 50, Rope maker plus Eliza 50, Saml 15, Flatman, Wm 15 and Eliza 9 - again all born in the county.

    Samuel looks as if he is in Wharton, Cheshire in the 1851 census (HO107/2166, folio 193, page 23), aged 51, Waterman, born Davenham Cheshire living at Winsford Hill with wife Mary Ann and children Sarah, Samuel, John, Joseph and grandaughter Kitty.

    William and son Samuel are still in Over in the 1851 both described as Ag Labs.

    Hope this helps.

    *Hannah Hatton born the 9th of October 1801 in Wharton
    Thomas’ parents were Richard Hatton born in Davenham in 1760 & Hannah Towers born in Weaver (Middlewich) in 1763.
    They were married at St Wilfred’s Church in Davenham, on the 10th of February 1783. Which means that Hannah must have been about 3 months pregnant, when they got married, tut tut?

    Thanks for that kelly,sorry i haven't been online much lately so i haven't been checking my family tree site's.
    That's definately my Samuel born 1799,he died in 1880,or '81 i believe(it's in my note's somewhere),and was married 3 times.I have the baptism for his son John,my Gt.Grandfather in 1839.
    Samuel's parent's were Richard Hatton and Hannah Tower's,and Richard's were Robert and Sarah Ameson(poss Jameson).
    I live down in Cornwall so all my research is done on the computer,hoping to get up cheshire sometime,to try and do a bit of hands on.

    Default William HATTON, Rope maker

    Hi,

    I think I'm descended from the William Hatton, Rope maker, that you mention living "next one down" to Samuel Hatton. William's son Samuel is also a flatman. William's daughter Elizabeth is my great-great-grandmother. She married the widower Joseph Haworth in 1857 at Manchester Cathedral.

    Any information about the family would be gratefully received. Are the two families related in any way?

    All the best,
    Dave

    Hi Tommy yes always glad to hear from someone , most if not all of my dads family ended up around London. Seems they just made their way south from between 1880s and early 1900s.
