SAMUEL (1823 - 1870) and AMELIA FIDLER (1824 -
SAMUEL was born in Chelmorton, Derbyshire in 1823 whilst his future wife AMELIA was born in the same county but in the village of Holmesfield.
The first census where I was able to find SAMUEL and AMELIA was the 1851 Census and was very surprised to find them living in Crookes of all places. But the place where they were living was unfamiliar "171 Crookes Gardens" adjacent to Northumberland Farm House. Still SAMUEL was employed as a 27 year old coachman whilst his wife AMELIA was a year younger. Both were born in Derbyshire, SAMUEL at Chapel Mosboro, which I believe is Chelmorton near Buxton, and AMELIA, Holmesfield, a village in North Derbyshire that is about eight miles from Sheffield. Living with them is their eldest son WILLIAM FIDLER who is 3 years of age. Interestingly enough WILLIAM was born in Sheffield which means that SAMUEL had made the move from Derbyshire prior to 1848
They had more children
Samuel Fidler born 1852
Walter Fidler born 1854
Charles Fidler born 1856
In White's Directory for Sheffield in 1857 there is a record for a "Samuel Fidler, Greengrocer, 67 Broomhall street, Sheffield. Whether or not it is the same SAMUEL FIDLER I do not know at the moment. But the 1861 Census reveals that SAMUEL and AMELIA are now living 99 Broomhall Road together with their family, and SAMUEL is now a 38 year old Beerhouse Keeper.
