Thomas Marrison was the father of Edward Marrison, and was
alive in 1780, when his son was christened NO8. He
may have been the Thomas Marrison who married Ann Whitaker at All Saints Church
in Harworth, Nottinghamshire, England on September 1,
1774 NO18.
He may have been
related to any of the three individuals named Thomas Marrison who died in
Bawtry in the West Riding of Yorkshire in the 1700s YO18. Thomas Marrison, the son of Thomas
Marrison, was buried on January 6, 1771 in Bawtry YO18. A second Thomas Marrison was buried in Bawtry on April 19,
1774 YO18; this was likely the Thomas Marrison “of
Bawtry in the County of York Bricklayer” who wrote his will on “the Sixth day
of March one thousand seven hundred and seventy four”
which named his wife, Mary, and his two sons, John and Jonathan WI37. A third Thomas Marrison, who was also called the son of Thomas
Marrison, was buried in Bawtry on April 24, 1778 YO18.
He may have been
the Thos Marrison who was listed with nine other
proprietors of alehouses (called “Alehousekeepers”)
in Bawtry in the West Riding of Yorkshire for the Wapentake of Strafford and Tickhall [sic] on September 7, 1771 WE26 (wapentake: a subdivision of a shire).
This was a record of alehouse licenses, and it indicated that Thos
Marrison and each of the other tavern keepers of Bawtry were bound in the sum
of £10, and the sureties for each of them were John Kay and John Marrison of
Bawtry WE26. On September 17, 1781, another list of
ten Alehouse keepers and their sureties for Bawtry in the Wapentake of Strafforth and Tickhill in the West Riding of Yorkshire
indicated that Jonathan Marrison was a tavern keeper who was indebted to The
Crown for the sum of £10, and the sureties for each of them were John Marrison
and Robert Wright of Bawtry WE26.
The
Land Tax for 1781 recorded that “Thos
Marrison for Self & Tents”
(tenants) were assessed the sum of 11 shillings for a dwelling in the Township
of Bawtry in the West Riding of Yorkshire which seemed to be owned by Pemberton
Milnes, Esquire, as he was called the proprietor WE29. In 1782, the Land Tax assessment for Bawtry indicated that Mr.
Jon[atha]n
Marrison was the proprietor for dwellings occupied by Mrs.
Williamson, M. Buxton, and Mary Milnes, for which the assessed sums were seven
shillings and six pence, three shillings and six pence, and two shillings and
six pence WE29. The next proprietor listed on the 1782 assessment was Mrs. Mary Marrison, who owned Jon[atha]n
Marrison’s house and kiln, assessed at nine shillings
and six pence WE29. In 1783, the Land
Tax assessment for the Township of Bawtry in the West Riding of Yorkshire
indicated that Mrs. Marrison owned the home of John Pickering (assessed two
shillings and eight pence), Pemberton Milnes, Esquire owned the home of Thomas
Marrison (“Thomas Marrison for Self & Tenants” was assessed eleven
shillings), Jon[atha]n Marrison owned the homes of Michael Buxton and Mary Milnes
(three shillings and six pence and two shillings and six pence), and Mary
Marrison owned the house and kiln of Jon[atha]n Marrison (assessed nine shillings and six pence) WE29. The next recorded Land Tax assessment for Bawtry occurred in
1792, and this stated that Jon[atha]n Acklom, Esquire owned the residence of Mr. Jon[atha]n
Marrison (“Mr Jonn
Marrison for a house late Nettleships”) WE29. Mr Jon[atha]n Marrison was the proprietor of four houses which were occupied
by Mrs. Williamson, M. Buxton, Mrs. Marrison, and “Jonn
Marrison for his House and a kiln” WE29.
Thomas
may have been related to James Marrison, who was probably born about 1780.
James Marrison was enumerated in the 1851 and 1861 England censuses at the
Strand Union Workhouse at Tottenham Court in St. Pancras, Middlesex as a
widower who in 1851 was a bricklayer and in 1861 was an “infirm inmate” who was
born in Bawtry, Yorkshire; his age was seventy-one and eighty-one in these
censuses, which indicates that he was born about 1780 EN20, EN21.
