M. Whitfield - cowkeeper

18/10/2018

At a recent talk I spoke with Walter Whitfield. He told me that his father had been Matthew Whitfield who was a cowkeeper at 19 Browne Street, in Liverpool. Unfortunately, the dairy in Browne Street was bombed during the war, but the family relocated to Shropshire to farm there.

I also had a chat with Susan Sunderland and her family. Susan's mother used to work for Tom Parker, a hay and straw merchant located at the top of Smithdown Road, and she can recall the local cowkeepers (including the Hogg family) calling in to pay their bills.

Interesting as my wife is the great-grandniece of a Matthew Whitfield, b. 1856 in Dent, Yorkshire. He married Ann Woof, b. 1855 in Sedbergh where they married in 1855. They moved down to Liverpool by the time of the 1881 census. Matthew being a family name was the son of Matthew, b. about 1813 in Garsdale who married who married Hannah Shepherd. Matthew and Ann Woof also had a son Matthew, who was the 4th of 11 known children, b. 1883 approx. from the 1891 census in Liverpool. The Whitfield tree is not one I have seriously investigated as the Woof family are our ancestors. Any relation??
