BOB C.
Bob tells us about his research work regarding his Titterington roots.
My thirst for knowledge about my own family's history was instinctive. I wanted to learn as much as I could of that past. In my youth, my elders were reluctant to talk about such matters whereas now it has become the fastest growing leisure pastime. Despite parental reluctance to open up, I came to know that my roots lay in Ireland on both sides of the parental and, as it turned out - religious divide. As all seasoned Family History Researchers know from bitter experience, if one's roots are embedded in Ireland the Researchers' task is made particularly difficult owing to the destruction, during the Dublin Easter Rising, of The Four Courts.
I had hazy recollections of my Grandmother Esther Currie, nee Titterington (1869-1942) whose husband James Currie (Labourer) died in 1913, some twenty five years prior to my birth. Thus, I never knew him. When I finally got round to researching my Currie ancestry, my dad and his siblings were already dead within a few short years of one another. That ruled out any possibility of reminiscing and broadening of my limited knowledge beyond what I already knew viz., that Grandfather James Currie had a sister Mary; that as children they were orphaned, and that poor Mary had been shipped off to Canada as a child Labourer sometime in the 1890s. That said, the intriguing name of Titterington (the maiden name of my Granny Esther) was indelibly etched on my mind.
​
During the 1980s. I managed to obtain copy of the marriage certificate of Esther Titterington's parents namely, Alexander Titterington (Labourer) (1844-1887) and Mary McAleenan who were married on 6th May, 1867 at Moira Parish Church by W.H.Wynne, rector of Moira. I had already learned that the name Titterington was derived from the village of Tytherington in Cheshire, England which came as something of a surprise. Other than that, I knew nothing. Back then I assumed the name Titterington to be a somewhat uncommon name and so I decided to consult the Telephone Directory for Moira to ascertain if any of that name was resident there. I found only three Titteringtons registered in the directory. I wrote each of them in similar terms, explained my purpose, gave the bare details already researched and put the question 'could we be related'? The three duly contacted one another and agreed that one namely, Kay Simpson, nee Titterington of Cherrytree Farm, Moira, should respond on behalf of all three. You can read more about Kay and her work on her page.
​
As for me, I was born on 12th April, 1937 at 5 Silvergrove Street, Bridgeton, Glasgow. This working class district stands at the centre of Glasgow's East-end. It was here Alexander Titterington and his wife Mary nee McAleenan were domiciled when they arrived in Glasgow and here, just a stone's throw away that Hugh and Margaret Paterson also lived. Until the mid 1960s, Bridgeton remained an industrial heartland of Glasgow with its Cotton Spinning Mills, Carpet Weaving, Bleach Works, Tanneries etc., that featured alongside a wide range of manufacturing industries that serviced the British Empire. The 19th century Irish who migrated to Glasgow were largely domiciled and found work there and, I must add, poor wages!
My branch of Titterington's were poor Irish. Alexander was Protestant by birth. His wife Mary - Roman Catholic. An interesting aside of several mixed marriages that adds interest to my story. By contrast, my Paterson relations were decidedly better off. They were all of them Protestants. Great-grandfather Hugh was a self-employed owner-occupier of a Beaming Shop in Bridgeton where the local Handloom Weavers brought their cloth to be 'dressed'. He was, nevertheless, working class.
