Sy beroep word as
Rowler of Iron aangegee. Iron Rolling. Long snake like red hot coils of iron,
whipping across the iron plated floor at speed, as they came out of the roller.
Nimble men, grabbing them with tongs, avoiding other hot coils, and putting
them back into the rollers to further reduce the size. The men worked in teams,
for it was hot, hard, and dangerous work. Facinating though, to watch a lump of
iron 4 feet long and 6 inches square, reduced to an angle iron, 22 feet long,
and an eighth of an inch thick, in just a few minutes. They also rolled iron
plates, which were a vital part of building a Boiler, and for the construction
of all the ships that came later. Brunel made use of such plates, in the Bridge
over the Tamar, in Devon, and the building of the Great Eastern Steamship. (http://www.blackcountrymuse.com/ironworking.htm)

Anne Best is op 12/08/1832 in Mexborough gedoop. Mexborough,
where the mellow sandstone of the houses and field walls became blackened and
the expanding population was increasingly housed in monotonous rows of brick
terraces. (Worsbrough: Change and Continuity in the Society, Economy
and Buildings of a South Yorkshire township 1600-1851 by Denis Ashurst Thesis
submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Sheffield 1995.) Haar ma is gelys as Hannah Best. Haar pa se naam kom nie op die
getranskribeerde rekord voor nie. Hannah
Best, d.v. John Best en William Dawson,
s.v. Peter Dawson, is op 29 Julie 1838 in Mexborough getroud. In 1841 woon Ann Best in Hannah en William
Dawson se huishouding. Op hulle
huwelikssertifikaat word William Best as haar pa aangegee. Lori Herman: I find
it unlikely (but not impossible) that the father of Ann was a William Best. I think that the minister asked her the name
of her father and she said ‘William’ (since William Dawson was the only father
she had) and so it ended up on the registration as William Best – assuming that
the minister did not know that she was illegitimate. Haar woonplek ten tye van haar huwelik was St.
Sepulchre Gate, Doncaster.
St. Sepulchre Gate Doncaster
Een bedryf wat sedert 1750 floreer het, was pottebakkery vervaardiging. Die Kilnhurst Pottebakkery was aan die kant, waar die steenkoolmyn later gesink is. Pottebakkery het voortgegaan tot 1929. (http://www.kilnhurstheritage.co.uk/kilnhurst-2/kilnhurst/)
Met die 1851 sensus woon William (26) en Ann (20) by
28 Thwate Gate, Leeds. Sy beroep word steeds as ‘n Forgeman aangegee.
(H.O. 107/2318)
William en Anne Wortley se oudste kind George se
geboorteplek word as Leeds aangedui.
Hulle moes egter teen die 19de Oktober 1851 reeds in Swinton gewees het,
aangesien hulle woning met George se doop as Swinton aangegee is.
Swinton
is a suburban town within the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham, in South
Yorkshire.
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swinton,_South_Yorkshire) Partly in parish of Mexborough, and partly in Wath-upon-Dearne, in 1857
the population was 1252. Described in
the late 1800's: It's township is a
chapelry and comprises a scattered village, 1817 inhabitants and 1560 acres of
land, including parts of Kilnhurst and the hamlet of Birdwell Flatts. The
Church, St. Margaret’s. (http://www.rotherhamweb.co.uk/district/swinton.htm) Dit was nie tot 1851 wat Swinton 'n afsonderlike
gemeente, onafhanklik van Wath en Mexborough geraak het nie. (Find a grave St. Margaret’s churchyard.) Op 26 November 1854 is William en Ann se seun,
die een en ‘n half jaar oue William Henry uit St. Margaret’s Church, Swinton
begrawe. (Foto: Genuki) John, word op 02/12/1854, Swinton, gebore, maar anders as sy broers en susters word hy op 18/03/1855, in Rotherham gedoop. In 1857 word Mary Ann se geboorteplek as Wortley opgegee en vanaf 1859 – 63 woon die gesin in Sheffield, 9.4 myl suid van Wortley.
Tussen 1820 en 1860 het die bevolking van Sheffield
verdriedubbel van net meer as 65,000 tot 185,000. Voor die opbreek van die gemeente van
Sheffield in 1848, was dit in ses woongebiede verdeel: Attercliff-cum-Darnall; Brightside Bierlow; Ecclesall Bierlow; Nether Hallam; Sheffield township; and Upper Hallam. Brightside is 'n industriële gebied en lê op
'n heuwel noord van Attercliffe en die Donrivier. Brightside Bierlow sluit alle
grond noord van die Don, tot sover as die Wicker en Neepsend in. In die 1830's was die enigste bedryf in die
dorp 'n forge op die rivier se bank. (Wikipedia)

Gedurende die Industriële Revolusie het die uitbreiding van
die bevolking in Sheffield baie dringende probleme veroorsaak. Kerkbegraafplase
het begin om vol te raak en daar was klagtes van oorbevolking en besoedeling van
plaaslike waterbronne. Gedurende die 1850's, het die Brightside Burial Board begin om planne op
te trek vir die maak 'n nuwe begraafplaas in Burngreave, op grond wat aan die Duke
of Norfolk en die Earl Fitzwilliam behoort het. Op daardie tydstip was die grond
hoofsaaklik bedek met bosveld en gruisputte.
(SGMT – Burngreave Cemetary). Teen 1861, toe die Burngreave Begraafplaas uitgelê is,
was Burngreave as voorstad van
Sheffield, steeds voorspoedig (prosperous)
en beskou as 'n aangename plek om te woon. Die argitek van die begraafplaas, William Flockton and Sons, het twee kapelle ontwerp wat verbind was deur 'n
sentrale kloktoring. Een kapel was vir die Kerk van Engeland se begrafnisse en
die ander vir Nonconformistse (Methodists, Congregationalists, Quakers,
Baptists en ander). 'n Plot vir Rooms-Katolieke begrafnisse is later toegeken nadat
die begraafplaas later verleng is. (SGMT – Burngreave Cemetary) The cemetery is situated in what was then Brightside
Bierlow, one of the townships which made up Sheffield. (Friends of Burngreave Cemetery – Home)

Op 04/10/1863 word James Wortley die seun van William (en
Ann), Forgeman van Swinton Bridge, gedoop.
Die dorp Kilnhurst het 'n bietjie van 'n reputasie verwerf. In 1864 na die veroordeling van 'n paar myners vir hul behandeling van 'n mede-werker, het die landdroshof gesê: “Kilnhurst was situated in a very out of the way district and was a place where the people were addicted to barborous, ignorent and savage customs”. http://www.kilnhurstheritage.co.uk/kilnhurst-2/kilnhurst/

In die middel van die 19de eeu het York 'n sentrum van die spoorweg industrie geword. 'n Netwerk spoorlyne is gebou en dit het gehelp om die isolasie van die meer afgeleë gebiede te verbreek. (Lambert, Tim: A brief history of Yorkshire. http://www.localhistories.org/yorkshire.html)
Die spoorlyn het die dorp Kilnhurst in 1830 bereik. 'n Tweede lyn het kort daarna bygekom. Die dorp het twee spoorwegstasies, Kilnhurst Central wat deur die Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire
Railway op die lyn vanaf Sheffield Victoria stasie na Doncaster gebou is,
en Kilnhurst West wat deur die Midland Railway, op die lyn vanaf
Sheffield Midland stasie na Cudworth en Leeds.
(http://www.kilnhurstheritage.co.uk/kilnhurst-2/kilnhurst/)
William Wortley en sy vrou Ann (Beste) was in 1878 in
‘n regsgeding teen die Manchester Sheffield en Lincolnshire Railway Company betrokke.
Ann is beseer toe die trein waarop sy was,
skielik gestop het en sy onder andere 'n gebreekte sleutelbeen opgedoen het.
Die trein het passasiers vanaf Kilnhurst na Sheffield vervoer. Op die 19de Maart was Ann ‘n passasier op die trein. Toe die trein by die Kilnshurst stasie aankom het die trok waarin Ann gery het geruk en sy het geval en seergekry, en kon as gevolg van haar beserings en voorddurende pyn nie haar plek in die besighede volstaan nie. Hulle het in 1878 ‘n winkel in Piccadilly Lane Swinton gehad wat bier, kruideniersware en algemene goedere verkoop het. Ann was ook ‘n milliner and kleremaakster tot op die datum wat die voorval plaasgevind het. Verder het William mediese en ander onkostes gehad, wat op hierdie besering gelei het. Hulle het nie die saak gewen nie, maar hulle lewens was baie ontwrig. Die onderstaande dokument word by die National Archives at Kew gehou.

Mary Ann trou in ongeveer 1880 met Robert Henry E. WOOD. Teen 1881 woon William en Ann met drie jonger
kinders by hulle skoonseun Robert Wood by Address 11 Piccadilly Road. Civil parish: Swinton, Village or hamlet:
Kilnhurst, District of Swinton. Of dit
dieselfde adres in Piccadilly Road is waar hulle die winkel gehad het, is nie
duidelik nie. Hier word William se beroep as Pit Labourer
(coal) aangegee. The importance of the shaft to colliery workers was acknowledged by
their use of the word ‘pit’ as synonymous with colliery. (Mason, Peter Ford: The Pit Sinkers of Northumberland and Durham.)

koster; Johnathon Fairburn, meulenaar en winkellier; James Ross, skilder en
glaswerker; John Schofield, carter;
en Henry Smith, bootbouer gelys. (Kilnhurst
