Interestingly Richard HUDDLESTON does not record his father's name or profession and lives in St Paul's Sculcoates, Hull, where the wedding took place.  Nor does he seem to appear in any census until 1871. In the 1861 census George WREGHITT, aged 48, was a warehouseman and Parish Clerk born in Lund. Why was Hannah in Sculcoates? Why did the wedding take place in his parish?

By 1871 Hannah had started a new family with Richard Huddleston.

Modern day street maps show a new development to the south of the church along the old path to South Landing with streets called South Sea Road and South Sea Way.

Only two children from her previous marriage remained at home.

And, two children by Richard HUDDLESTON had been born one in the same quarter as the marriage. Was this the reason for a Sculcoates marriage away from Flamborough society?

After Hannah's death, in 1892, Richard went to live with his son John until his death in the first quarter of 1912 (GRO ref: Bridlington 9d 467). The Hull Daily Mail, of Saturday 10 February 1912 reports

The death of Mr. Richard Huddleston removes the oldest resident of Flamborough. He was a member of a family of thirteen of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Huddleston, of Kilnwick, and only one brother now survives. All the members of the family reached the age of four score years, while the father and mother reached the ages of eighty-one and eighty-two years. Mr. Huddleston went to Flamborough over fifty years ago. He had two sons, one of whom is now in New Zealand, and he has resided with the other for many years. He farmed South Sea Farm, but gave that up some years ago.

All of John and Maud's children are to be found in West Yorkshire, except John Kenneth who is known to have returned to Flamborough. (With thanks to Liz Vine)

The Crossley and Sons, Carpet Manufacturers record Arthur Huddleston being employed as a young person under 18 first employed on 10 January 1913. There is no record of his residence.

Arthur joined the Royal Navy as a 'boy' on 12 November 1914 and served on HMS Powerful until 28 February 1915. From there he made the first of many postings to the shore establishment HMS Vivid. Between 19 April 1915 and 30 August 1917 he was at sea, before returning the Vivid where he was promoted to Able Bodied Seaman (AB). Although his marriage certificate gives HMS Garland as his ship, his service record does not give a ship of that name. Between 15 November 1918 and 01 February 1919 he was serving of HMS Glorious after which he returned to HMS Vivid at the time of his marriage

The 1939 Register indicates that Jessie married a Turner. On 09 November 1944 she married James Pearson TURNER (GRO ref: Halifax 9a 997). An Ancestry record shows James Pearson being born on 11 October 1903 in West Derby, Liverpool and dying on 25 January 1987 in St Helens, Merseyside. However, there is no supporting GRO birth or death record. There is no obvious record of James Pearson Turner's birth or in the 1939 Registration.

Return to text HMS Delhi

HMS Delhi was a Danae-class cruiser that was laid down in 1917, launched in 1918 and commissioned for service in 1919, serving until decommissioning in mid-1945 due to extensive battle damage, and was to be scrapped in 1948 after lengthy war and peacetime service around the world. She served with the Royal Navy through the Second World War, from the Caribbean to eastern China.

Delhi served in the Baltic as part of a wider multinational intervention in the Russian Civil War against the nascent Soviet republics. Departing the Baltic, Delhi returned to Britain and spent the next three years with the Atlantic Fleet.

She was to be chosen in 1923, along with her sisters Danae, Dauntless, Dragon and Dunedin, for the Empire Cruise of the Special Service Squadron, representing the most modern and most powerful cruisers of the Royal Navy, as escorts to the battlecruisers Hood and Repulse. Returning in December 1924, she joined the 1st Cruiser Squadron with the Mediterranean Fleet in January 1925. After a brief ten-month detachment to the China Station, engaging in anti-piracy operations, she returned to the Mediterranean before being paid off to refit.
