John Stell (1690 - ) and Mary Jackson

In August 2007 Anne Leedam, a Stell descendent, contacted me with additional information on the Stell family. Anne's information is written blue.

John Stell, Birth 1690

John Stell, the son of John (or Joseph) Stell, was baptized on March 16, 1690 in Keighley Parish.

Notes

Unfortunately, 1690 is missing from the LDS microfilm. The information was taken from the YAS transcription of the parish records and the LDS parish index.
Father listed as "Jo." in the LDS parish index and as "Joseph" in the YAS transcriptions.
John Stell (born 1690) is obviously connected to his descendants, Joseph Stell and George Stell, by virtue of the occupations, place of residence, and the Keighley Independent Chapel connections of his children and grandchildren.

John Stell, Marriage, 1716 Mary Jackson

John Stell married Mary Jackson on April 19, 1715 in St. Andrews in Keighley.

More on Mary Jackson: Based on an age of 20 at the time of her marriage in 1716 Mary Jackson was born no later than 1696. The only Jackson having children in the parish at that time was Avary Jackson who had a daughter Mary in 1688. It is not certain that this is the correct record for the birth of Mary Jackson. The records at that point do not contain much information and rarely give more than the name of the child, the name of the father and the date of baptism. The first record for the name, Jackson, in Keighley Parish was Agnes the daughter of Christopher baptized in 1599.

Note: Christopher Jackson married Isabelle Stell 8 May 1599.

Children of John Stell and Mary Jackson

John Stell, weaver woolcomber, (1716-) and Ann Clough, Fellane and Bingley
Baptism: John, the son of John Stell, was baptized on October 17, 1716 (Church of England).
Occupation: Weaver and wool comber.
Note: John Stell was listed as a comber and wool comber at the baptisms of his children in 1747 and 1749. These were the first records for Stells listed as wool combers. Unfortunately, occupations were not always listed in the parish indexes.
Residence: Fellane and Bingley. The town of Bingley is a few miles south east of Keighley on the road to Leeds. It is in a separate parish. There were other Stells in this branch of the family connected to Bingley.
In December 2006 Christine Dowthwaite wrote
"Although you know that Bingley is a small town about 3 miles from Keighley along the Aire Valley you are probably not aware that at one time Bingley Parish extended well over towards Keighley and ended only about one mile from Fell Lane. Because parishes were so much more important as a local government unit in those days someone could be described as living in a certain parish, even though geographically they were nearer to another town or village. So someone could live in Fell Lane and move to Bingley parish in about a 30 minute walk. I am not saying that is what happened in this case, but they did not necessarily have to travel for miles.
Church: Church of England
Marriage: John Stell married Anne Clough on September 30, 1741 (CE)
Note: Several baptisms listed on the IGI for Anne Clough in the area and right time frame.
Children:
1. The name of their first child looks like "Hadiale", son of John Stell, weaver, baptized on July 31, 1743 (CE). Not listed by LDS on the Parish Indexes.
2. John, the son of John Stell, weaver, was buried on December 18, 1743 (CE).
3. Ann, the daughter of John Stell, weaver, was baptized on May 20, 1744 (CE).
  Further Record: No marriage in later Keighley records
4. Sarah, the daughter of John Stell of, Bingley, was baptized on December 1, 1745 (CE).
5. William Stell
  Birth: William, the son of John Stell, comber, was baptized on April 29, 1747 (CE).
  Note: It is possible, even highly likely, that this William Stell married and had children in Keighley parish. The difficulty of establishing this fact with complete certitude is that there were two William Stells born at this time. See William Stell below
6. John Stell, (1748-) and Phebe Hebden, Fell Lane
  Birth: John, the son of John Stell and Ann, (no other information) was baptized on June 29, 1748 (CE).
  Occupation: Unknown
  Residence: Fell Lane
  Marriage: John Stell, bachelor, married Phebe Hebden, spinster and minor, on August 15, 1769. Witnesses: William Stell and Joshua Keighley (CE).
  Note: No appropriate baptism on IGI
  Children: The Bishops Transcripts indicate that they had:
  1. Anne of John Stell and Phebe of Fell Lane, 22 Jul 1770
    Death: Ann daughter of John Stell of Fellane October ?, 1770
  2. Sally of John Stell and Phebe of Fell Lane, 19 January 1775
    Death: Sally of John Stell of Fell Lane 24 January 1775
  3. John and
  4. Phebe, twins, in 1777
7. Hannah, the daughter of John Stell and Anne, wool comber, was baptized on April 5, 1749 (CE).
  Death: Hannah daughter of John Stell of Bingley buried March 30, 1750
8. Michael son of John Stell of Fell Lane buried 26 May 1754 (CE)
9. Michael son of John Stell of Fell Lane buried 12 June 1758
10. Thomas of John Stell and Anne 5 July 1759 - no other information
Death of John Stell: Unfortunately the LDS microfilm image of the death records for Keighley parish are at times completely illegible and the records for 1759 are missing entirely. Much of 1760, 1762 and 1763 are illegible. However it appears that John Stell may have died between 1759 and 1764. This is based on the marriage of Anne Stell widow in 1764.
There were three Ann Stells in the parish:
1. Ann Clough married to John Stell
Marriage Ann Stell widow married William Shuttleworth, wool comber, 13 July 1764 witnesses Joshua Keighley and William Townsend
Note: All the information on John Stell, his wife, Anne, and their children was taken from the Bishop's Transcripts for the Church of England, Keighley parish. John and Anne Stell did not have any children baptized in the Independent Church of Keighley.
James Stell, weaver (1718-) and Mary Crofts, Fellane
Baptism: James, son of John Stell, was baptized on January 12, 1718. This information was taken from the index and the IGI. The year is missing from the Keighley Parish Records that are available through LDS.
Note: This is the first time the name, James, appears in the Stell family.
Occupation: Weaver
Residence: Fellane
Church: Church of England and Keighley Independent (Congregational)
Marriage: According to the parish indexes, he married Mary Crofts on April 11, 1738.
Children: James Stell had the following children some of whose baptisms were recorded in the Church of England (CE) records and some whose baptisms were recorded in the Independent Church Keighley (ICK):
1. John, of James Stell, weaver, baptized on October 15, 1738 (CE).
  Death: John, the son of James Stell of Fell Lane, was buried on August 24, 1761 (CE). Note: Since there was only one James Stell having children in the parish in the 1700s, this death may be John the son of James born in 1738. John must have been 23 years old at the time of his death. He must have been unmarried and perhaps sickly to have gotten the designation "son of" at age 24. Otherwise it is an odd record that reflects another James Stell married and having children in the 1760s.
2. Joseph Stell (1740-) and ???
  Note: There were two Joseph Stells born in the parish in 1740. Joseph, the son of Michael Stell, yeoman and Joseph, the son of James Stell, weaver. Subsequent records show two marriages and two sets of children for Joseph Stell. At this point I am not sure which set of records go with which Joseph Stell:
  Birth 1: Joseph of Michael Stell, yoeman 10 February 1740 (CE)
  Birth 2: Joseph, of James (Jas) Stell, weaver, baptized on April 27, 1740 (CE).
  1. Joseph Stell, woolcomber, (born 1740 father either Michael or James) and Alice Iverson, Parkland
    Birth: Unsure he was the son of Michael or the son of Joseph.
    Marriage: Joseph Stell, woolcomber, married Alice Iveson, spinster, both of Keighley parish on November 22, 1763, Church of England.
    Children:
    1. Sally of Joseph Stell and Alice 22 Dec 1763 - no other information
    2. Robert Stell (1765-) and Isabel Atkinson
      Birth: Robert of Joseph and Alice Stell of Parkland, 23 June 1765.

Death of James Stell: Unknown
The information on James Stell was taken from the BT and indexes for Keighley parish, the IGI and the baptismal records of the Keighley Independent or Congregational Church.
Stephen Stell (1719-1773) and Esther Colton
Baptism: Stephen, the son of John and Mary Stell was baptized on January 01, 1720.
Note: This is the first time the name Stephen appears in the Stell family. The use of the name was limited in the Stell family to:
- Stephen's son born in 1746
- Stephen's grandson born in 1774 the son of Benjamin
- Stephen's great grandson born circa 1830, son of Joseph, grandson of Benjamin
- A son of Joseph Stell born 1828*
- A son of George Stell born 1839*
* See below for information on these Stephen Stells.
Note: Stephen was not a common name in the parish records in general. The LDSIGI indicates early records for Stephen Jackson in Ilkley or Otley (other parishes near to Keighley) and it is possible that the name entered the Stell family in honor of Jackson relatives. The IGI records are LDS member submissions and not from parish records.

    Marriage: Stephen Stell and Martha Peel 11 April 1795
    More on Martha Peel:
    Note: Stephan Bateson believes that Martha was the daughter of Jonathan Peel and Sarah Smith also born in 1774. He says: Martha Peel
    " married Stephen Stell in 1795. She died in 1842 and is commemorated on a headstone in Windhill Wesleyan Cemetery. Nothing about her husband on the stone, I'm afraid. The other faces of the headstone commemorate a Bateson Peel and his wife. He was Martha's nephew. He was also the son of John Peel, born Keighley in 1780. John Peel and William Peel (b 1788, but no IGI record of his baptism*) are presumed brothers, since they lived in the same place - Windhill - they married sisters and were listed together as Woollen Cloth Manufacturers in 1822. William was probably born in Goose Eye or Laycock, but retired to Kildwick, perhaps because his family came from there.
    Martha is more likely to be the child of Jonathan Peel and Sarah Smith but born in 1774.
    My research is just beginning, so I haven't checked any original material yet."

5. John, of Stephen Stell of Fellane, was baptized on October 13, 1757 Independent Church Keighley.
Note: The baptisms in the Independent Church indicate that Stephen and family were members from the start of the records in 1749. The subsequent records show that Stephen's children continued to be connected to the Independent Church in Keighley.
The following deaths were recorded for the children of Stephen Stell in the Church of England records:
1. Abraham, the son of Stephen Stell, on January 25, 1765
2. Hannah, the daughter of Stephen Stell of Fellane, on May 2, 1764
3. Joseph, the son of Stephen Stell of Fell Lane on April 26, 1766.
I did not find baptismal records for these three children in either Church of England or Keighley Independent .
Death: Stephen Stell of Fellane was buried on November 1, 1773 (CE).

Joseph Stell (1721-) and Mary Sharp
Birth: Joseph Stell, the son of John Stell, baptized in 1721 no place or occupation listed. This may not be the actual record. Nevertheless, a Joseph, son of John, was born around this time in Fellane and this Joseph Stell married Mary Sharpe.
Note: While the parish index as compiled by LDS lists a death for Joseph Stell the Bishop's Transcripts "Joseph the son of John Stell of Willey Green buried February 18, 1724". I believe that this was the son of another John Stell, not the son of John Stell of Fellane. There were too many Joseph Stells in the subsequent records but one of them born around this time is clearly the son of John Stell of Fellane. The connections of Joseph Stell and the other children of John Stell to the Independent (Congregational) Church are so exclusive that the Joseph who married Mary Sharpe has to be a descendant of John Stell of Fellane.
Marriage: Joseph Stell married Mary Sharpe in Keighley in 1749.
Occupation:
Residence: Fellane
Children:
1. George, February 1752 (ICK)
  Further Records: George Stell woolcomber moved to Birstall parish where he married Isabelle Lawson and had: Joseph, Samuel, Nathan, Benjamin, Ann, Mary and Betty. See George Stell

Important connections for this branch of the Stell family in Keighley

The connection to the Independent Church is of major significance. This was a small congregation and all of the Stells in the records were related to one another.
The Independent Church in Keighley ledger only includes baptisms. This was not uncommon. Many Independent congregations did not have their own burial grounds and for a long time it was required that marriages take place in the Church of England.
Of the six known children of John Stell one, Joshua, does not appear to have married. The others were:
1. John who had all his children baptized in the Church of England before the Congregational records started in 1749
2. James who had five children baptized in the Church of England before the Congregational records started in 1749 and three baptized in the Congregational parish after 1749
3. Stephan who had one child baptized in the Church of England before the Congregational records start and three baptized in the congregational parish after the records started
4. Mary Stell Rishworth, the wife of John Rishworth, who had six children baptized in the congregational parish after the records started in 1749
5. Joseph, the father of George, Nathan, and Mary, all baptized in the Congregational parish.

All of the Stells who were related to this branch of the family lived in Fellane (Fell Lane) or Bingley.
When an occupation was listed, all of the Stells who were related to this branch of the family were either weavers or woolcombers.

Nothing on the IGI

Mary born circa 1802. Probably not the Mary Holmes who married Joseph Stell in October 1826. The marriage of Mary Holmes to Joseph Stell is very close to the baptism of Marmaduke in October 1826. Again there were two Josephs both married to Marys and only one marriage record.

Benjamin Stell woolcomber, (1790) and Martha Wilson

ATTENTION: The marriage, (children, etc.) is speculation and it needs to be proven that this was or was not Benjamin son of John. There was a Benjamin Stell, son of George Stell born in Batley Parish in 1793 and this could that Benjamin Stell. However I believe that this is the correct Benjamin Stell. See Joseph Stell
