DaughterGrace Wells (b. 1797, d. March 1812)
SonJoseph Wells (b. 1800, d. 8 February 1800)
Reference NumberJohn Wells had reference number 119.
Birth1758He was born in 1758. Query over validity. Assumption that son George is father of the right Thomas.
Baptism1758He was baptised in 1758 in Barlborough, DerbyshireG.
Possible baptism: John, the son of William, 25th Dec 1757 at Killamarsh. A William Wells married Sarah Smith at Eckington on 26th Nov 1744. Possible siblings are Sarah, baptised 1748 at Killamarsh; Mary, baptised 27th Oct 1745 at Killamarsh.
Marriage9 August 1779He married Elizabeth Watts on 9 August 1779 in Whitwell, DerbyshireG.
The entry reads: John Wells of the parish of Barlborough and Elizabeth Watts of this parish, by Banns.
Occupation1792In 1792 John Wells was a collier. This information is found on the Quarter Sessions records.
Criminal1792He was before the Court in 1792 in Derbyshire Quarter SessionsG
at the Derbyshire Quarter Sessions he was accused of two assaults, one of them on Mary Lowde. His wife Elizabeth was also involved. All charges were dismissed as no true bill (indictment) was presented. The grand jury, which considered the prosecution evidence for all bills of indictment at the beginning of a court session, decided if there was sufficient evidence for a trial. If this was the case, they endorsed the bill 'billa vera' or 'true bill'. If not, 'ignoramus' (literally: 'we do not know') or 'no true bill'; usually that was the end of the prosecution.

The entry reads:

Date SURNAME Firstname (Parish, Hundred) Occupation [Offence] Place of Offence (Witness) Abode [Penalty] Comments

1792.2 WELLS John (Clowne, Sc) Collier [Assault] N/s (N/sn/s) No true bill, []

1792.2 WELLS John (Clowne, Sc) Collier [Assault] N/s (Lowde mary (spinster)) Clowne [No true bill see 1035]

Presumably 1792.2 means the second quarter sessions of the year.


Mary Lowde was no angel. She was before the petty sessions in 1803

1803.1 LOWDE Mary (Clowne, Sc) N/s [Uttering profane oaths] fine: 10/= (Bagshaw wc)


and she and her daughter were convicted of assault and sent to prison in 1804.

Burial5 January 1813He was buried on 5 January 1813 in Whitwell, DerbyshireG.
This is a possible burial. His age was given as 55. A note by the entry reads "Killed in a Cock pit", or (and more likely) "Killed in a Coal pit".

Even if the first option is correct it may not mean a place where men watched gamecocks fighting each other. A glossary of mining terms states that a cock-pit was "A sub-floor area within the foundation levels of an Engine house between the Cylinder Plat and the Bob Wall, containing the regulating apparatus, and giving access to cylinder hold-down bolts." The chances are that John was killed in an accident at work.
DeathJanuary 1813He died in January 1813 in Whitwell, DerbyshireG.
This is a possible death.
