Primrose Mill, Clitheroe | The Story of Lucy Jane

Eight months after I began my investigation into the Thomson family of Primrose Mill, in Clitheroe, Lancashire, I am finally drawing it to a conclusion, with the story of Lucy Jane, daughter of Henry Thomson (a younger son of the mill owner) and Martha Read (a domestic servant to Henry’s family), who spent parts of her childhood and adolescence in Manchester and modern-day Merseyside. Like many young women of the mid-Victorian period, Lucy married and had children; in this video, I take a closer look at what some of the details on various census records reveal about her lifestyle, social status and even her psychological condition in later life, before making use of a variety of newspaper extracts, passenger lists and probate records to understand more about the lives and careers of her children, particularly her very adventurous younger sons George and Charles. I would like to express my particular thanks to Eric Parsotam, who contacted me via e-mail in February 2022 to offer some crucial information about Lucy’s middle son George Speyer that I would never otherwise have known.
