Individual Note

Note From Matthew Penfold:

The eldest, William, is variously described as a verger, porter or messenger, but his wife made paper bags and their youngest son was a compositor. The first, however, was a gas fitter, with a daughter wonderfully named Lucretia, in an age depressingly liable to repeat familiar names, and the second an organ builder. This last occupation, however, either did not provide lucrative employment or else Edward Penfold built bad organs, for in 1871 we find him, sadly, at the age of thirty, an unmarried inmate of the Manchester

Wharf workhouse in Crumpsall. William’s address in 1851 was 1 Thornhill Street.
