Esther & Elkanah Healey

Childhood

Esther Whitehouse Trease was born on the 7th June 1830, probably in Devonport and baptised at Stoke Damerel, Devon, the daughter of John and Esther Whitehouse and the granddaughter of William and Martha Uglow. In the 1841 and 1851 censuses she is recorded as living at home with her parents in Burton-on-Trent and may have continued living at home with her parents until her marriage.

Marriage

Early in 1861, when Esther was 30, she married Elkanah Robert Healey in Burton-on-Trent. Elkanah's exact date and place of birth are unknown but he was about six years older than her and was the son of John Healey, a Liverpool tobacconist. Research into the Healey family is currently incomplete but currently it seems likely that Elkanah's father had been born in Rochdale in 1775 and had married twice. He had married his first wife, Alice Lord, in 1797 in Wardleworth, Rochdale. John and Alice settled in Liverpool where records of the baptism of four of their children in the Mount Pleasant Wesleyan Chapels in Leeds Street, Liverpool have been found. In 1814 John married for a second time. This time the marriage took place in St George's, Everton and his wife was Janet McKeane. John and Janet had at least three daughters in addition to Elkanah but it is thought that they all may have predeceased Elkanah. Elkanah's stepbrother, John, was, like the Trease daughters in Burton-on-Trent, a staunch supporter of the Wesleyan Church. This and other similarities point to a link between John Healey and another Healey family also from Rochdale and living in the Liverpool area but so far the relationship between the families has not been determined (see possibly linked families).

Elkanah, like his father before him, had had an earlier marriage in 1849 to Eliza Dorothea Lloyd, in Carnavon but she had died in Liverpool in 1857. He appears to have had only one surviving child from his first marriage, John Lloyd Healey, who appears to have been born about 1850 and who was recorded living with his father and his stepmother Esther in 1851.

After their marriage, Elkanah and Esther lived in Liverpool with son John. Elkanah continued his work with the Trustees of the Albert Dock where he was to become a Principal of the Dock Establishment. Esther gave birth to two children who survived infancy, a boy and a girl, and it is possible that she had other children who died in infancy.

Early death

On the 20th January 1867, Esther died from pneumonia, aged 36. A month later on the 27th February 1867, Elkanah's youngest sister, Helen, who had married George Mitchelson, a bookseller and bookbinder, died aged 38. Elkanah, now widowed for a second time, suffered from stomach ulcers which are attributed to have caused his death on the 20th January 1868 exactly one year to the day after Esther's death. He was only 42. At the weekly meeting of the Dock Board following his death, a special tribute was paid by the Board to Elkanah for his 22 years service - 'No man could better discharge the various duties of his office than did Mr. Healey (hear! hear!)'.

With the death of their father Elkanah, the three children were left orphans. Grandfather John Trease, who was then 71, declined the guardianship of the three children. Instead, their Uncle John Healey, who was aged 63 and therefore younger than John Trease and, like John, also lived in Burton-on-Trent, became their official guardian. In practice, the work of looking after the children was shared between the Trease and Healey families.

Children

  • stepson, John Lloyd Healey, was born about 1851 to Elkanah and his first wife, Eliza Dorothea Lloyd, but the precise date and location of his birth are not known. After his father's death, it seems that he went to stay with his Uncle's son, James Healey, and his family in Fairfield, Liverpool. He became a merchant seaman and went missing at sea - the last record of him having been seen alive was in September 1871.


  • son, Robert Trease Healey, was born in Liverpool about 1861/1862. He was 6 years old when he was orphaned and went to live in Burton-on-Trent. In 1885, at the age of 23, Robert married Elizabeth Philips Frankish in Ashby de la Zouch. They lived for a few years in High Street, Burton-on-Trent, where Robert carried on the trade of haberdasher and Elizabeth gave birth to their first and apparently only child, Ernest Robert Healey. After Ernest was born, they moved to Derby where Robert abandoned his career as a draper and worked for a time as a coal merchant's clerk.

    Robert died in Derby in 1935. It is not known when his wife Elizabeth died but she almost certainly pre-deceased him.


  • daughter, Mary Esther Healey, was born about 1863/1864 in Liverpool. She was 4 years old when she was orphaned. After her father's death, she came to stay with her grandparents and aunts in Burton-on-Trent where she is recorded as living in 1871 and 1881.

    In 1884, when she was 20, she was diagnosed as suffering from tuberculosis. She battled with the disease for 2 years before dying in Burton in 1886.



Esther & Elkanah Healey

Early Life

Robert Trease Healey, was born in Liverpool about 1861/1862. He was 6 years old when he was orphaned. He was educated at the Blue Coat School in Liverpool St George and is recorded boarding there in the 1871 census. By 1881 he was apprenticed to a draper in Ashby de la Zouch. It is highly probable that his uncle William Trease, who came to live in Burton on Trent before 1881, had a hand in the choice of his career. William was a commercial traveller in the clothing trade, and seems to have used his business contacts to find employment for many of the young men and women in the family.

Marriage

In 1885, when Robert was 23 and had finished his apprenticeship, he married Elizabeth Philips Frankish in Ashby de la Zouch. Elizabeth was a widow aged 35 years and worked as a fancy draper in Ashby de la Zouch. Her late husband, Elvin Frankish, had been an ironmonger at Alford in Lincolnshire but had died 5 years earlier in July 1880 when he was 36. This first marriage appears to have been childless and after her first husband's death, Elizabeth had returned to Ashby to live with her father, John Elgen, who was a farmer there.

Family

After they married, Robert and Elizabeth lived for a few years in High Street, Burton-on-Trent, where Robert carried on the trade of haberdasher. In 1887 at Burton-on-Trent, Elizabeth gave birth to their first and apparently only child, Ernest Robert Healey. After Ernest was born, they moved to Derby where Robert abandoned his career as a draper and worked for a time as a coal merchant's clerk.

Later Life

Robert died in Derby in 1935. It is not known when his wife Elizabeth died but she almost certainly pre-deceased him.

Their son Ernest became, like his late cousin John Spencer Trease who lived in Ashby, a railway official. In 1913 he got married. His wife, Gertrude, did not want to have children but eventually after 7 years of marriage, they produced a son followed three years later by a daughter. Ernest died in Derby in 1939.

Esther & Elkanah Healey

Early Life

Mary Esther Healey, was born about 1863/1864 in Liverpool. She was only 4 years old when she was orphaned and came from Liverpool to Burton on Trent. Although her Uncle John Healey was officially her guardian it seems that, in practice, she spent much of her time in Burton on Trent with her grandparents, John and Esther Trease, with whom she is recorded as living in 1871 and 1881. She was close in age to her cousin William Henry Trease, William's son, who also appears to have been living with her grandparents since about 1862. It is surmised that while living there she would have been educated by and received much attention from her aunts, Ann and Mary, who were schoolmistresses in Burton on Trent

Early death

In 1884, when she was 20, she was diagnosed as suffering from tuberculosis. In 1885 she attended the marriage of her brother Robert in Ashby de la Zouch. She battled with TB for 2 years before dying in Burton on the 28th March 1886 at 133a Horninglow Road in Burton on Trent. Her Will, which she made the day before she died, stated she was lately of Stourbridge so she must have been living there shortly before she died. The air would almost certainly have been better for her at Stourbridge than at Burton but so far we do not know who she was staying with. It may have been that she had undertaken work there as a governess or something similar before she had been diagnosed as suffering from TB. A poignant verse on her funeral card reflects the sad end to her short life - 'Weep not for the beloved dead, Our loss is her greatest gain; She to a better home has fled; Where there is no more pain.'
