Chapel Family Story.
The story of a member of the Marchington family from Dove Holes, who emigrated to Canada
to seek his fortune by joining the Klondike Gold Rush at the turn of this century, is a
half-truth told by my Grandfather (Robert.1964). Like all stories & legends there is some truth in the tale but the fantasy
in the storyteller adds to the story & likewise the story grows as it is passed down
from generation to generation. David Marchington explains below the reason for many an
emigration to the New World. According to Don Buckley who currently
farms at Sittinglow farm his relatives being
Hallam's also left for Canada on the same ship as John Samuel. Don states that many
families emigrated around this time answering News paper added to do so.
There are stories of other members of the family that have also emigrated to the USA,
Australia & South Africa and many other families from the High Peak area.
Information supplied by David Marchington. 1958. Ottawa, Canada.
The 1881
census shows William at Cross Cottages, with his family. There are 3 or so cottages joined
together, and the furthest one on the east side was a stable at one time. The building is
made of limestone and when I was there in 1989, I met a nice lady by the name of "
Queenie" Fletcher. William was the youngest brother and had to work in the quarry. I
don't know what Samuel did, but the oldest brother John, inherited Halstead farm.
William died of silicosis at age 45, leaving my great grand father
John Samuel and his new wife Sarah Hartle to care for the younger brothers. Sarah did not
want their sons to work in the quarry so she convinced her husband to go to Canada in 1905
and with their oldest son Bob they worked for a year or so and then brought the rest of
the family to Toronto. They did
write home to tell friends about opportunities in Canada and as a result , many more
families came to Toronto. John Samuel and three of his sons joined various regiments of
the Canadian Expeditionary Force and fought in The Great War. My grandfather Frank was the
youngest in the family. Family Photo taken in 1908
John Douglas Marchington.1884 also
emigrated to Canada he being the son
of John Sam.1854 & Sarah Kelly, 2nd cousin the branch above, he died in active service in the Great
War. John was 34 years old when he died and was married with a child called
Douglas.
David Marchington, explains the origins of some of the place names
featuring the Marchington name in Canada.
Marchington Lake & River. Derived its name from John Samuels
son William Marchington. William, who was a Parliamentary writer and later
editor of Canada's national newspaper the 'Globe & Mail'. William also wrote
for a couple of English newspapers. William had a golfing buddy who was a
Cartographer, and as such he asked to use William's surname to name areas in the
'back country' of Ontario.
Marchington Circle is a city street name in Scarborough, which as
become part of Metropolitan Toronto.
