Notes for Benjamin Waite
Benjamin Waite was born in 1829 and christened in Manchester Cathedral on 9th September 1829. He was the son of William Waite (1795) and Susannah Carter. In 1841 he was living in Whittle Street, Manchester, in the household of Thomas Carter, a linen and woolen draper - and probably the brother of Susannah Carter. He married Mary Ann Bellingall (1828) at St. John's church in Manchester inn 1847, but is not the father of Mary Ann's son John, born in 1860. In 1847 he was described as a warehouse man and in 1848 as a draper. In 1851 he was living at 18 Rochdale Road, Manchester and described as a Draper & Furrier employing 10 men. In 1855 he was working as a draper's assistant at 111 Chapman Street in Manchester. He died of consumption in Manchester on 28th January 1856, and was buried on 2nd February. Benjamin is named, wrongly, as the deceased father of John Waite on John's marriage certificate in 1897.
