BARKER - Dodworth Bottom
I am researching my mothers family ,Barker of Dodworth -can anyone help me fill a few gaps

Dodworth and Dodworth Bottom. - Dodworth Bottom
I am looking for details of the parents of Robert Booth, born 1811 'On the Sea', but whose family came from Dodworth. He married Hannah Robinson, also of Dodworth,c1830 and they lived in and around Dodworth all their lives.Their youngest son Uriah, born c1855, a coalminer, disappears from the census of 1881, but reappears in Manchester in 1891, married, with family. Family legend has it that he fled from Yorkshire after a fight with blackleg (strike-breaking) miners, when he pushed a man off a train. Does anyone know of any industrial unrest in the area between 1871, when Uriah was 16,and 1880? This is the most likely age-range for hot-headed action, and may explain why he was not registered in 1881. Incidentally, this name is sometimes mistranscribed as 'Wiah' or 'Wriah'. Any information on the history of Dodworth, and the Booths, is welcome.

Uriah Booth - Dodworth Bottom
General unrest in area due to coal-owners cutting wages. But strike at Church Lane Colliery, Dodworth in May 1877 which lasted until Dec 1877 when the miners had to accept the lower wages. Owners brought in blacklegs from Wales and Durham, but they were confronted on the station platform by the Dodworth miners and "pursuaded" to return home. However, many families had already left Dodworth to find work in other places.

Hello, My G grandfather was Albert Ernest Scott who married Lily Gertrude Badley in Sept 1909 (I found this record). They lived at 80 St John's Rd, Balby, Doncaster & had 4 sons; Charles (1910 my grfth), Ralph (1916), Arthur (1917) & Roy (1922). I know Albert was deceased when my grangparents married in Sept 1940 but have no idea of his dates. On my grandfather's birth certificate it states that Albert was a telegraph engineer. He may be the 12 yr old Albert on the 1901 census (RG13, piece 4413, folio 60, p3, sched 20) but it's just a guess. I can't seem to find a birth or death which could be him.
