John Wardle, b1847 Kegworth

James' younger brother John Wardle was born 8-Sep-1847 (in Kegworth) and was a successful mill owner/baker/greengrocer (the 1901 census lists his occupation as a farmer). He married Sarah Jane Bray, born 1843 in Hammersmith, on 27 July 1870 in Kegworth.

Their children:

• Frederick Bray, born 1872 
• Alice, born 1874 married Thomas Rose (born in Sunderland). Died 1952
• Florence, born 1876 married George William Haywood (born in Kegworth). Died 1957
• Edith, born 1878 became Mrs Shepherd

I wonder if Mr Shepherd is related / the same as found in the Baptist Church photograph

Note: information below (about the mill and grocers store) were incorrectly attributed to John's father (also called John)

John Wardle owned a mill on the sideley at Kegworth (photograph above - unknown date), as well as a bakers and grocers store in Kegworth.

The white building in the centre of the photograph (left, date also unknown) has on its sign:

WIDDOWSON 
Plumber -something- Painter
Gas Fitter

The shop on the right has the sign WARDLE BAKER GROCER. One of the carts in front of the shop has 'WARDLE & Co' on its side.

As an aside ... a sideley is a side ley. A ley or lea being O.E. a field, originally a clearance in a forest, stretch of open grassy country. Common in place names, spelt -ley, -leigh, -ly &c. Therefore Kegworth's sideley means the side field, pasture, meadow &c.
