William Disney (4th great grandfather)

William was born in 1798 in Draycott and died after 7th April 1861 but in the second quarter that year. He married Sarah Gregory of Breaston at St Chads on 6th November 1821. He was an agricultural labourer all his working life.

They had 12 children; Joseph (1822), Jane (1823), Lucy (1825), Thomas (1825), Samuel (1829), William (1830), Ann (1831), Sarah (1832), Mary (1836), Eliza (1838), James (1840) and George (1842).

1841: also Ann, Sarah, Mary, Eliza and James
1851: also Eliza (lace ?), James and George
1861: also George (ag lab), Eliza (now Hinds a cotton factory worker) and her daughter Elizabeth (1860)
1871: Sarah and Eliza (operative) and her children Elizabeth (operative) and Thomas (1)
1881: Sarah, Eliza (cotton winder), Thomas and Sarah's son James (Ag lab)

In 1841 Joseph, Thomas and Samuel were on a farm. Lucy and William were on another farm and Jane was ?

James Disney (5th great grandfather)

James was christened in Langar on 1st April 1752. He married Jane Wild in Owthorpe and they moved to Ockbrook and then to Draycott. He probably died before the 3rd quarter 1837.

They had one son that I know about, William.
