Ann Dix ⁴ ⁵

Born: 13 Oct 1826, Beeston, Notts ⁶ ⁷
Christened: 13 Nov 1826, Beeston, Notts ⁸
Marriage: William Yeomans on 7 Mar 1852 in Nottingham St Mary ¹ ² ³
Died: 10 Feb 1877, Beeston, Notts ⁹ ¹⁰

General Notes:

Ann Dix, who was baptised at Beeston in November 1826 was their first child. Both before her marriage and during and after she was widowed, Ann worked as a dressmaker and does not appear to have moved away from Butcher Lane at any time during her adult life. It is therefore strange that her marriage to William Yeomans, in March 1856, took place at St Marys Church in Nottingham. Although William had been born in nearby Lenton, his family had moved to Beeston some years earlier and was well settled nearby on Butcher Lane where they appear to have kept the Commercial Inn. William was a lacemaker who is likely to have worked in the local mills and it was here that the couple settled during the period of their short marriage which ended when William died, aged 39, some ten years later. In that time they had five children - including Sophia who went on to marry John Frederick Doar, the oldest of three generations of grocers who operated from premises in Beeston Square for about 90 years.
