• Notes

  Born to Mary Dean, spinster, more than two years before she married (father named as William Astin in marriage record). In 1841 census as Thomas Astin, 6, with parents, Astin siblings and grandmother Fanny Dean. Possible (unlikely) 1851 record as Thomas Aston, 16, (Married??) in Ralph's Place, Manchester, as a journeyman baker, birthplace 'Abergameaves'; (not found in 1861 census). A report in the Burnley Express, 4.4.1888, headed 'Theft from a canal boat' stated, in part: 'Henry Chadwick, 14 . . . was charged with stealing an overcoat, a pair of leggings and a lantern, value ?35, property of Thomas Dean, boatman, of 3 White Bull St' (where Thomas and family were recorded in the 1891 census) 'from boat of which he was in charge on the Canal . . . the cabin had been broken open. PC Birkbeck said he saw the prisoner wearing the coat and leggings and carrying the lantern . . . he took off the coat, dropped it and the lantern, and ran away. Witness caught him and charged him. Prisoner said he had found the articles, and his mother said to put them on to see how he looked as a boatman. Bench said young fellows could not lark with other people's property. (Sentence not indicated.) A Leeds and Liverpool Canal Co note dated Nov 30 1888 to Mr Eaves at Blackburn Locks says: 'Dear Sir, We have this day received a telegram from Shipley as follows: "Order Captain Dean load stones at Skipton." Please give this your attention. Yours truly, M Haworth.'
