Jessiah (Isaiah) 14 “ Cotton Mill Sarah Dixon 20 “ Cotton Mill

The cotton mill that Isaiah and Sarah worked in was probably Arkwright’s (one of the leaders of the Industrial revolution) which was at Cromford between Matlock and Wirksworth.

Samuel Dixon was the son of Bejamin Dixon and Mary. . There is a marriage of a Benjamin Dixon and a Mary Musgrove 13 Sep 1773 at Parwich not far from Wirksworth, Mary Musgrove baptised St Edmunds Allestree near Derby 4 Nov 1753 fits perfectly with her age at death. Her parents are Samuel and Mary and athe only sibling Samuel born 1755. There was another Mary Musgrave born 1745 to Benjamin in Wirksworth but this makes her fairly old for both her age at death and for having her last child in 1798.

Children of this marriage are Sarah Bap 11/9/1774 born Wirksworth. They moved to Matlock

Reuben 12/9/1784 d 21/1/1794 Matlock Richard bapt 6/1/1788 b14 /12/1786 Wirksworth

Joseph 27/5/1798 d 14/8/1799 There are two children born in St Alkmund Derby born to Benjamin Dixon and Mary.which fit perfectly in the gap between Sarah and Reuben and fit in with family names.

Benjamin pat 1776 and Samuel bapt 1780

Benjamin died at Ashover Workhouse 13/11/1826 and is buried at Matlock aged 74. Mary died at Matlock 9/6/1824 aged 70.

Benjamin was the son of Richard Dixon and Mary Rowson, who were married 2/6/1743 at Wirksworth.

Richard Dison (Dickson) appears to be the son ofWilliam Dickson born 20/11/1704 at St Oswald Ashbourne .

TIPPING FAMILY

We have been able to trace Sarah Tipping's family back through Matlock parish register also with help from a descendant in Britain of Lawrence Tipping b 1789 and descendants of German b1791 from Australia. Wills of Robert in 1612 and Thomas in 1617 have been searched. Robert estate was valued at 96 pounds 10 s and 9d and he left his farm to his eldest son Godfrey while his second son was to inherit from his Uncle Thomas. Thomas lived in the adjoining parish of Matlock and paid a lease on Hascom Lees, otherwise known as Ansley Riddings on Masson Hill , in the area now known as Matlock Bath.
