Jessie Whitehead Le Marchant (nee Kirton)

Life Events

     Jessie Whitehead Kirton was born on 14 July 1868 in St Austell, Cornwall, England, daughter of Robert Hill Kirton and Martha Emma Jesper.1

She appeared on the census on 2 April 1871, in the household of Robert Hill Kirton in 7 Biddick's Court, St Austell, Cornwall, England, as daughter, aged 2.2

Jessie was educated at Sidcot School, Winscombe, Somerset, England, a co-ed Quaker School and became Head girl. Her cousin Richard Tangye had attended the same school. between 1879 and 1893.3

On 16 April 1890, Jessie, aged 21, married John Hurry, in Birmingham, Warwickshire, England.4

Jesse was widowed with the death of John Hurry on 1 January 1894 in Davos-Platz, Switzerland.1,5

On 29 June 1896, Jessie, aged 27, married Reverend Alexander Hannavelle Le Marchant, aged 32, in Hendon, Middlesex, England.1,4

She appeared on the census on 31 March 1901, in the household of Reverend Alexander Hannavelle Le Marchant in 26 Stonebridge Place, Willesden, Middlesex, England, as wife, aged 32.6

She appeared on the census on 2 April 1911, in the household of Robert Hill Kirton in 22 Broughton Road, Handsworth, Staffordshire, England, as daughter, aged 42.7

She died on Tuesday, 31 July 1956, aged 88 years and 17 days, in Croydon, Surrey, England, from generalised arterial sclerosis. She had been living at 54 Rydal Road, heaton, Bolton.5

Jessie was buried in the Congregational Cemetery, Belmont, Lancashire, England.

Probate was granted on her estate on 26 October 1956 in Manchester, Lancashire, England, to Myrtle Burnet Hurry, spinster, and John Ashburn, solicitor. Her effects were valued at £2,677 8s 9d (approx. 2013 value = AU$232,000.00.)5

The headstone of Alexander Hannavalle Le Marchant and Jessie Whitehead Le Marchant (nee Kirton), is in the cemetery of what was originally the English Congregational Church in the village of Belmont, up on the Lancashire moors some five miles north of Bolton.
The English Congregational Church subsequently merged in 1972 with the Congregational Churches of Wales and Scotland and together with the Presbyterian Church of Great Britain created the United Reformed Church which still exists today.
Alexander was a minister ordained into the Congregational Church in 1888. Between then and 1905 he looked after three separate churches in London before moving with Jessie to Bolton. By all accounts, Jessie was a constant stalwart by the side of Alexander throughout the fifty years of his ministry.
In 1932 they left Bolton and moved to Belmont where they ran the Congregational Church until Alexander died in 1938.
Sadly the Bolton and the Belmont churches have both been demolished for what has proved to be pretty dreadful redevelopments.
