Further to Social History enquiry from Ange.of Oz: in 1901 RICHARD AUSTWICK resident at 6 Phoenix Street was 45, and a waterman (canal). Born Knottingley, son of John Austwick and his wife Sarah, RICHARD AUSTWICK married MARTHA AUSTWICK 46, b. Yarmouth, Norfolk in May 1891 following the death of his wife MARY HANNAH (nee Pattison) in December 1889, the first anniversary of their marriage, upon the birth of their daughter MARY H(ANNAH) 11, b. Goole. Martha Austwick aged 46 died at Goole in 1901 (ref. Jeff Knaggs Genealogy site - Yorkshire: Austwick, Martha - 17 Aug 1901 - 46 - Phoenix Street, Goole - GT) Entered 1901 Census at their address was HERBERT JACKSON 20, a waterman, b. Goole (believed to be Mrs. Martha Austwick's younger son from an earlier marriage to George Jackson, Marine Engineer of Goole) and IVY OWEN, grand-daughter 3, b. Greenwich (most likely the child of Martha Austwick's eldest child, Ann M. Jackson b. Greenwich, Kent c.1874.). George Jackson b. Goole died aged 42 at Goole 1890. HERBERT JACKSON also appeared on the 1901 Census as Mate, aboard the NON, a steam tug anchored in the River Ouse off Goole, under command of Captain Joseph Carmichael b. Hull, and Engineer Rhodes Akeroyd, b. Goole. HERBERT JACKSON believed to have married MARIA SUTCLIFF, 1902 daughter of John Sutcliff, Inn Keeper, 34 Ouse Street (?Steam Packet). MARY H(ANNAH) AUSTWICK marriage to HERBERT J. KNOTT took place at Goole 1912. In 1931, the couple lived at 14 Phoenix Street and RICHARD AUSTWICK too until his death later that year (ref. Entry 204 Vol 1 Goole Cemetery Monumental Inscriptions - Boothferry Family & Local History Group). *** It is interesting to note that the Monumental Inscriptions shows this entry follows that for Richard Cooper.
