     George had been born in 1818 at Dilhorne, the son of Thomas Harvey. However, by 1851 George Harvey (although shown as being married) was living with his married sister, Emma James, at Dilhorne, along with Hannah’s brother, John Gallimore. Hannah’s whereabouts at that time is unknown and her death has not been found. She was, however, the informant on 27 July 1842 when her grandfather, John Wood, died, and again on 14 February 1851 when her grandmother, Lydia Wood, died, both at Dilhorne Common. When her grandmother died, Hannah advised that she was present at the death but was unable to sign her name, making her mark with a cross, and reverting to her maiden name of Hannah Gallimore. It is possible that Hannah and George divorced, because in 1859 George Harvey married Kezia Challinor, who was aged 22, whilst George was aged 41. Kezia provided George with several children and they settled at Boundary where George changed his occupation from coal mining to farm labouring. However, by 1881 George was unlucky in love once again, and while he lived at Daisy Bank in Dilhorne with two of his children, George jnr. and Ellen, Keziah was living with William Simister with the balance of the children. By the time of the next census in 1891, George and Kezia had not re-united, but they were living next door to each other at Daisy Bank in Dilhorne. George was still with the same two children but Kezia by this time was living with William Heath, a farm labourer from Leigh, and had the two youngest children, Elijah and Martha (now with the surname of Heath) with her. George Harvey was 81 years of age when he died in 1899 at Dilhorne. Free of George at last, Kezia lost no time in marrying William Heath and they were married that same year at St. Giles Church, Cheadle. Kezia Heath died six years after her marriage to William at the age of 69 in 1905 at Cheadle.

John and Margaret produced three children at Dilhorne before following in the footsteps of his father and elder brother by becoming a publican. He and Margaret ran the Red Lion Inn at Boundary. However, John was only 53 when he died in 1884 and Margaret herself then ran the hotel. Finally, Margaret turned the hotel over to her daughter Amy Elizabeth, who had married Thomas Beardmore, and Thomas became the publican.

Also living at the Royal Oak was his widowed step mother, Hannah Salt, and his half brother, Arthur Joseph Salt. Herbert’s wife, Mary, was 59 when she died in 1887 at Dilhorne. By 1891, Herbert had retired from farming and was living with an inn keeper at Blythe Marsh, Sarah Brandrick. He married Sarah in 1891 at Forsbrook and they then took over the Wellington Hotel there.

The 1861 census shows Emma working as a domestic servant in Bowden, Cheshire, for a calico printer, Alfred Neild and his wife Lucy. Returning to Dilhorne, Emma married a farmer, John Martin, on 18 January 1866. John’s farm at Cheadle was 65 acres in size and three children were born to them there. By 1881, the family had moved to a 290 acre farm called Quentons Orchard Farm situated at Pipe Ridware in Staffordshire. Their younger two children, Kate and Ernest, moved with them and they had the help of four servants. In 1891, one of their helpers was Emma’s niece, 16 year old Clara Salt, the youngest daughter of Emma’s brother Samuel. By the turn of the century, John, Emma and Ernest had moved to Hamstall Hall in Hamstall Ridware and had the help of six various servants. Emma and John both lived into their eighties, with Emma dying on 14 November 1919, aged 81, and John dying the following year, aged 89, both at Hamstall Ridware.
After Mary’s untimely death, Joseph then married Ann Bettany in 1840 at St Peter’s Church, Stoke on Trent. Ann was born in 1811 at Dilhorne to Thomas and Elizabeth Bettany. Joseph and Ann produced two sons, although one died in infancy; (1) William Henry Salt born 1841. By 1861 William had secured an apprenticeship in Cheadle, with Lydia’s nephew, John Tipper (son of her brother George), a master carpenter. However, carpentry was not for him and by 1871 he had returned home to Dilhorne where he was living with his father, his new step mother, and his two young step brothers. His occupation is shown as ‘cattle dealer’. In 1874, William married Elizabeth Inskip at St. Peter’s, Caverswall. Elizabeth was born in 1851 at Dilhorne to Daniel and Sarah Inskip. They had three children together, the first boy in Dilhorne and the two girls in Caverswall. However, William was only 41 years of age when he died in 1883. Elizabeth continued to live at Caverswall with her children. (2) Frederick Salt born 30 March 1845, died in infancy on 22 December 1846, aged 20 months.
In 1841 Joseph and Ann were living next doorbutone to John and Lydia. The 1851 census shows Joseph and Ann living in Dilhorne with Joseph’s daughter Emma from his first marriage to Mary, and William, his only surviving child from his second marriage to Ann. Joseph at that time was a victualler and shopkeeper. Joseph suffered the loss of his second wife when Ann died in 1865 at the age of 55.

The following year at St Peter’s Church, Forsbrook, Joseph, who was still a publican, married for the third time to Hannah Mosley. Hannah was born in 1833 at Dilhorne to Thomas and Hannah Mosley and was 25 years younger than Joseph. Hannah produced two children in Dilhorne with Joseph; (1) Thomas Mosley Salt born 1867, died in childhood on 3 October 1872, aged five years. (2) Arthur Joseph Salt born 1870 lost his father when he was three years old. During his childhood, he and his mother lived in the Royal Oak Inn at Dilhorne, which was run by his much older half-brother, Herbert Salt. By the time he was 20, Arthur had moved to Chester in Cheshire and was boarding with 62 year old Mary Ingham and was working as a solicitor’s clerk. Returning to his widowed mother at Dilhorne, Arthur continued to work as a solicitor’s clerk at Dilhorne village.

Joseph died on 25 May 1873, aged 65, at Dilhorne, the year following the death of his five year old son, Thomas. Hannah was left with their three years old boy, Arthur. Hannah did not remarry and died on 24 June 1910, aged 77, at Dilhorne, outliving Joseph by 37 years.

After Mary’s untimely death, Joseph then married Ann Bettany in 1840 at St Peter’s Church, Stoke on Trent. Ann was born in 1811 at Dilhorne to Thomas and Elizabeth Bettany. Joseph and Ann produced two sons, although one died in infancy; (1) William Henry Salt born 1841. By 1861 William had secured an apprenticeship in Cheadle, with Lydia’s nephew, John Tipper (son of her brother George), a master carpenter. However, carpentry was not for him and by 1871 he had returned home to Dilhorne where he was living with his father, his new step mother, and his two young step brothers. His occupation is shown as ‘cattle dealer’. In 1874, William married Elizabeth Inskip at St. Peter’s, Caverswall. Elizabeth was born in 1851 at Dilhorne to Daniel and Sarah Inskip. They had three children together, the first boy in Dilhorne and the two girls in Caverswall. However, William was only 41 years of age when he died in 1883. Elizabeth continued to live at Caverswall with her children. (2) Frederick Salt born 30 March 1845, died in infancy on 22 December 1846, aged 20 months.
In 1841 Joseph and Ann were living next doorbutone to John and Lydia. The 1851 census shows Joseph and Ann living in Dilhorne with Joseph’s daughter Emma from his first marriage to Mary, and William, his only surviving child from his second marriage to Ann. Joseph at that time was a victualler and shopkeeper. Joseph suffered the loss of his second wife when Ann died in 1865 at the age of 55.

The following year at St Peter’s Church, Forsbrook, Joseph, who was still a publican, married for the third time to Hannah Mosley. Hannah was born in 1833 at Dilhorne to Thomas and Hannah Mosley and was 25 years younger than Joseph. Hannah produced two children in Dilhorne with Joseph; (1) Thomas Mosley Salt born 1867, died in childhood on 3 October 1872, aged five years. (2) Arthur Joseph Salt born 1870 lost his father when he was three years old. During his childhood, he and his mother lived in the Royal Oak Inn at Dilhorne, which was run by his much older half-brother, Herbert Salt. By the time he was 20, Arthur had moved to Chester in Cheshire and was boarding with 62 year old Mary Ingham and was working as a solicitor’s clerk. Returning to his widowed mother at Dilhorne, Arthur continued to work as a solicitor’s clerk at Dilhorne village.

Joseph died on 25 May 1873, aged 65, at Dilhorne, the year following the death of his five year old son, Thomas. Hannah was left with their three years old boy, Arthur. Hannah did not remarry and died on 24 June 1910, aged 77, at Dilhorne, outliving Joseph by 37 years.
