Mason

1841 Census

The first Mason family is headed by widow Alice in 1841:

Name	Age	Occupation	Birthplace
MASON Alice	35	Farmer	Yks
MASON Jane	12		Yks
MASON John	8		Yks
SEVERS Ann	50		Independent

Alice was born Alice Warriner, daughter of Matthew Warriner and Eleanor Alderson. She was baptized in Redmire 21 January 1803, and on 17 June 1828 married Robert Mason, the son of Robert Mason and Jane Storey. Robert died 9 February 1837, and was buried at Redmire 11 February.

Robert and Alice's children are:

Jane: batpized at Aysgarth 5 July 1829
John: baptized at Redmire 20 February 1833

There are no Masons in the 1851 census of Redmire, as Alice remarried 6 May 1846 to James Metcalfe--she appears on that census with her new husband.

1861 Census

By 1861, Robert and Alice's son John has returned, living with his mother, although erroneously listed as a boarder:

Name	Relationship	Age	Occupation	Birthplace
METCALF Alice	Wife, Married	58	Miner's Wife	Redmire
MASON John	Boarder, Unmarried	28	Wheel Maker	Redmire

1871 Census

By 1871, Alice's second husband has also died, and her son John is correctly identified as such:

Name	Relationship	Age	Occupation	Birthplace
METCALF Alice	Head, Widow	69	Farmer	Redmire
MASON John	Son, Married	38	Wheel Maker	Redmire

John was married to Ellen Warriner, daughter of William Warriner and Mary Raw, sometime since the last census.

1881 Census

John is alone in 1881, his mother having passed away in 1875.

Name	Relationship	Age	Occupation	Birthplace
MASON John	Head, Married	48	Carpenter and Farmer 26 Acres	Redmire

John's wife Ellen can be seen on the 1881 census living with her brother, William Warriner, at 319 West Derby Road, West Darby, LAN, with John and Ellen's daughter Mary, by this time 16 years old.

1891 Census

By 1891, John's daughter Mary (Nellie) is living with him:

Name	Relationship	Age	Occupation	Birthplace
MASON John	Head, Married	56	Farmer	Redmire
MASON Nellie	Daughter, Unmarried	23		Liverpool, LAN

1901 Census

John died 28 February 1901, and is thus missing from the 1901 census, leaving his daughter Mary as the last Mason we see in Redmire:

Name	Relationship	Age	Occupation	Birthplace
MASON Mary E.	Head, Unmarried	30	Living on Own Means	Liverpool, LAN
