The Mortlock Blacksmiths

The distinguishing features of these Mortlocks are (a) Mortlocks called Michael, (b) Mortlockswho are blacksmiths and (c (= a.b)) Mortlocks who are both. This is a similar pattern to theMortlocks of Chippenham, Cambs. Although there seems to have been a Mortlock in Hawsteadin 1568, the main family are all descended from a Michael who died and left a will in 1757.There’s a little unsolved puzzle here, which is why did Michael’s Michael became a wigmakerwith the smithy passing to the third brother, James? The smith, a mighty man is he - perhapsyoung Michael wasn’t, and did not grow up to have arms as strong as iron bands. His wigmaking,too was not profitable enough for his widow to escape the poor-house. One line leads to Londonvia the army and thence to Portsmouth.

The main line in Lawshall, of blacksmiths, complete with one called Michael, comes from thisHawstead family. However there are several other records in the parish register which do notseem to be connected with this line - perhaps non-Lawshall Mortlock brides marrying Lawshallmen. In another direction, there is a link to Freckenham via Michael’s son Charles; so perhapsthese smiths were Worlington Mortlocks originally, where Robert the smith died in 1650. All toldthere are at least twenty-seven smiths in these tables, most and probably all related, pumping theirbellows in Worlington, Hawstead, Lawshall, Cheveley, Chippenham, Freckenham, Long Melford,Barrow, Bury St Edmunds, Isleham and Woodditton.

Eventually the smiths branched out into general engineering, as can be seen from the tables. OneSamuel trained as a shoemaker - his two brothers became smiths, which suggests maybe Samuelwas physically not up to it. Nor, financially; his vicissitudes in this respect are related against hisentry in the tables.

For other Mortlock blacksmiths see also Samuel of Long Stratton, Norfolk, born 1794 [1851census] and Chevington(5) for William (not immediately related), journeyman of Cheveley; seealso the longer article about these Mortlock blacksmiths.

My interpretation of this situation is that Harriett was with Samuel Josephfor some years before he was able to achieve a place for her ‘on the strength’and get married. I think this may not have been unusual for soldiers.
