Weavers of Aycliffe |

In the Parson and White Directory of 1828 it says of Aycliffe that about 100 linen weavers were employed in linen weaving for Darlington. Linen weaving was generally said to have stopped about 1837, according to Whellans Directory of 1856. There were still several weavers in the 1841 census. For a more detailed study of weaving in the Darlington and Aycliffe area, see Gillian Cookson's article on The Textile Industry.
The information here has been gathered as I have been transcribing the baptism, marriage and burial registers of St. Andrew’s Church, Aycliffe, and the census for the Great Aycliffe area, and an indenture dating from 1763. So far I have identified at least 60 weavers and their families. Hopefully more information will be gathered the further back I go in time in the registers. So far the information extends from the 1760s to 1861. Click here for an alphabetical list of the weavers.
Many weavers were from the parish, but several came from elsewhere. It is hoped to produce a map to show the incomers’ origins.
The weaver named in the indenture of July 11, 1763 is Ralph Graham, who took a poor child, William Walker, son of Thomas Walker of Darlington, as an apprentice weaver for 10 years. There is a Ralph Graham in the Marriage Register who married Alice Hutchinson, 1762. Is this the same man?

The next of the weavers is George Pearson (Perceson), and his wife, Mary Pallister, both from the parish, living in Aycliffe. They married June 3, 1792, and had at least 5 children: |

Is the wife Mary a mistake for Margaret in 1818, or is this another family?

Living by himself in the 1841 census is a John Brown, agricultural labourer. It is not known whether this is the same person. |

William Robinson, of the parish, and Hannah Carter, of Middleton St. George, had at least 5 children, but their 1st son, Thomas died October 6, 1806, age 20 days, and their 3rd son was named Thomas. Entered also as a 3rd son, 2 years after the 2nd Thomas, is James, born June 11, 1811. By the time John Robinson was baptized December 25, 1815, his father was now working as a collier. William was still a collier in the 1841 census, living in Heighington Street. There are 3 more children |
