George Hinds Maltby

George Hinds Maltby was the son of Mary Ann Maltby and the grandson of William Maltby and his wife Emma (née Wakefield). George was born in Gotham in 1896 and baptised at Gotham St Lawrence on 4 March 1896; the baptismal register gave his mother's name as Mary Ann Maltby. George probably lived with his grandparents from birth and although on the 1901 Census his relationship to William, head of household, was given as grandson no relationship is recorded on the 1911 Census. The army records gave Willliam and Emma's relationship to George as father and mother, and they were his legatees. William (b. Gotham abt. 1860) and Emma (b. 2 June 1861, West Bridgford Nottingham) were married at Gotham St Lawrence on 20 March 1879. They had six children of whom only four were still living in 1911. The census between 1881 and 1911 record the names of five children, all but William were born in Gotham: Mary Ann b. 1879 bap. St Lawrence 5 October 1879; William b. Radford Nottingham 1880; Stella b. 1882, Bertha b. 1883 bap. St Lawrence 11 October 1884 d. 1904 and Henry b. 1886. In 1881 William (21), a hosier, and Emma (20) were living at 85 Waterway Street, Nottingham, with their two children Mary (2) and William (6m). By 1891 they were living at The Rushes, Malt Street, Gotham, with William's widowed father, John Maltby (68) a labourer. William was a framework knitter. He and Emma now had five children: Mary, William, Stella (9), Bertha (7) and Henry (4). Their grandson George Hinds Maltby was born five years later in 1896. William, now working as a general labourer, and Emma were still living at The Rushes in 1901. Only William, a plaster labourer, Bertha and their grandson George (5) were in the home on the night of the census. Stella was a maid (domestic) at Trent College, Long Eaton, Derbyshire, while Henry was a farm boy in the household of his employer, Benjamin Howard, farmer, at The Rushes, Gotham. George's mother, Mary Ann Maltby, probably married George William Foster at St Lawrence on 19 August 1900. In 1901 she and George (26 b. Costock), a wagoner on a farm, were living in Bunny, Nottinghamshire. By 1911 they were living in Car Colston, Nottinghamshire, with their son William Henry (7). Both census returns give her place of birth as Gotham and her age was relative to a birth year of 1879. She has not yet been traced after 1911. In 1911 William (50), a labourer/miller at a plaster mill, and Emma were still living at The Rushes with their two sons William (married, 4 years) a labourer and Henry a dairy labourer, and George (15) who was still at school. Bertha had died in 1904 and Stella had married William Henry Seals (or Seales), a widower with one child, in 1905, and they were living in Breaston, Derbyshire. George's grandfather William probably died in 1938. In 1939 when the England & Wales Register was compiled, his widow Emma was living on Malt Street, Gotham.
