Hi Denise,
So glad to see your posts here along with Kath's and mine. This is exciting to have
descendants of John and Maria [WHITEHEAD] CARTLEDGE corresponding, especially because we
represent each of their children who had posterity. Please also expect to be contacted by
Dick (& Peggy) Cartledge who is also a descendant of Henry William b. abt 1842.
Here's the info I have re: Phoebe CARTLEDGE who is also a sibling.
Source: FHL film #87725 1851 Census Pinchbeck, Spalding, Lincolnshire, England (note:
other Lincolnshire parishes are on this film, too)
Pinchbeck itself was divided into parts. Here's the description of the area where the
family lived.
This description was hand written on a page preceding the census pages for Pinchbeck 1f.
Pinchbeck 1f: "All that part of the parish of Pinchbeck lying East of the
Turnpike commencing at the Vernatts" (perhaps N for V and/or ll for tt) "Bridge
and extending to Surfleet Bridge. Bounded on the North by the River Glen and Newlands Lane
- NorthEast by the Vernatts" (see previous note re: possible spellings)
"Reservoir. This district contains Pinchbeck Marsh and Newlands Lane."
The John CARTLEDGE family is on page 11 at the bottom.
44 Surfleet Road
John Cartledge Head Mar. age 43 occup.Waterman born Yorkshire, Ar*ll
Maria do Wife Mar. age 37 born Lincolnshire, Bourn
Henry Wm do Son age 9 occup. scholar born do do
Phoebe Ann do Daur age 5 born do do
Eliza do Daur age 1 born do Pinchbeck
Note: Luke and Eliza did have older siblings, Henry Wm and Phoebe Ann. I cannot make out
where in Yorkshire John CARTLEDGE was born. Somehow I ordered the birth certificate for a
different Henry CARTLEDGE born the same time but in Newark. I still feel the one I ordered
will fit in somehow - perhaps a cousin. But now I strongly feel that the Henry W. on the
1861 census living with Ann WHITEHEAD is Luke's older brother and Ann WHITEHEAD is
Maria CARTLEDGE's mother.

Denise, Luke CARTLEDGE, who came to America is my great-grandfather.
Sorry to be so wordy. Just so happy to have you posting with us!

P.S. Loved your Public Family Tree on
Ancestry.com. I have over 300 descendants for Luke.
He had 7 children, 4 of which were sons to also carry on the surname. You have some
information that I wish to add to my family history. Will you please share the
documentation for Maria WHITEHEAD's parents?
