Queens Street Chapel

Six children of Charles Lewis Land and Anne Dinsdell were baptized in Queens Street Chapel, Leeds between 1818 and 1833. See Charles Lewis Land

LDS has records for the chapel from 1756 to 1837 on mircofilm #828139 items 5-6.

The Chapel as listed in the Leeds Directories:

  • The 1830 Leeds Directory listed Queens Street Chapel as having:
    • Sunday services at 10:30AM and 6:00PM and a prayer meeting at 3:00PM
    • Monday prayer meeting at 7:00PM
    • Thursday sermon at 7:00PM.
  • By 1834 the 3:00PM Sunday prayer meeting had been dropped.
  • White's 1837 Directory says:
    "Queen street Chapel is a large and neat building, erected in 1824, and containing 1,200 sittings. The Rev. Thomas Scales is its minister."

Note: In general the Independents seemed to have more meeting times that the other denominations.

Thomas Scales was listed in the 1841 Census, York Place, Leeds, Thomas Scales independent minister age 50, Christiana age 50, Robert age 20, Henry age 20, schoolmaster, William, age 15.


Other Lands or Land Relatives in Queens Street Chapel

There were two other families with the surname Land who had children baptized in the Queens Street Chapel.

  1. Philomon Land, son of Philomon Land and Hannah, born November 12, 1802 and baptized December 1802. (Queen Street Chapel Records)

  2. Thomas Land and Anne Shirt
    1. Ann, of Thomas Land and Ann of Water Lane, born on March 23, 1817 and baptized on August 24, 1817, Queen Street Independent, Leeds (Queen Street Chapel Records)
    2. John Shirt Land, the son of Thomas Land and Ann of Water Lane, born April 11, 1822 and baptized on July 21, 1822 Queen Street Independent, Leeds (Queens Street Chapel Records)

John Dinsdale, the brother of Ann Dinsdall Land, had James Thomas Dinsdale, of John Dinsdale and Elizabeth, baptized on April 16, 1826 in the Queens Street Chapel (IGI, source 0826139).

I have not been able to make any ties between these three Land families. Consequently, I do not know if there were simply three families of Lands in this rather small congregation by coincidence.


Philomon Land and His Family

Philomon Land, born to John Land and Sarah Meyers in 1765 in Wakefield, lived in Weston and moved to Leeds.

John Land and Sarah Myers of Wakefield and Weston

Marriage of John Land and Sarah Myers

John Land married Sarah Myers in Wakefield All Saints on December 12, 1759.

Sarah Myers:

Sarah Meyers, the daughter of Joseph Meyers and Ruth Ellis Meyers, was baptized in All Saints in 1736. The other children of Joseph and Ruth Meyers were: Joseph, Mercy, David, James, Christopher, Ruth, Philomon, and Isaac. Sarah's mother, Ruth Meyers, baptized in All Saints in 1707, was the daughter of Philemon Ellis and Dorothy Crabtree.

Children of John Land and Sarah Meyers

There were 17 baptisms for the children of "John Land" in Wakefield All Saints between 1761 and 1774. Unfortunately, only the father's name was listed. Occasionaly a place designation was made. None-the-less, it is possible to determine several of the children of John Land and Sarah Meyers.

Subsequent records show that John Land and Sarah Myers moved to the parish of Weston no later than 1775 when their son James was baptized. When John Land and Sarah Meyers moved from Wakefield to Weston all of their children were young enough to have made the move with them.

The Land records in Weston are limited to the family of John Land and Sarah Meyers, their children and grandchildren. Four of the children of John Land and Sarah Meyers baptized in All Saints can be established, based on the subsequent records in Weston. They are: Joseph, Ruth, Mercy, and Sarah. Since there were two Joseph and two Sarahs baptized in WAS during the period of time Sarah Meyers was having her children it is not possible to determine which Sarah and which Joseph were the children of Sarah Meyer. Another child can be determined based on the unusual name, Philomon, a name used in Sarah Meyer's family for several generations.

Based on the Weston and Philomon connections Sarah Meyers Land was the mother of:

  1. Joseph Land (1763-) and May Young

    Baptism: Joseph baptized either March 26 1763 (son of John Land of "W") or August 1764.

      5. Rachael in 1822
      6. John in 1831
      7. James in 1838

I believe he may have returned to England." Peter Clapham, March 2008

    Note: My thanks to Philippa Willcox (nee Clapham) a descendant of John Clapham by his second wife, Honor Dennis, who contacted me by email and corrected the spelling of Clapham which I had as Chapham (June 2005).

He was again listed as a lodger in Leanington Priors in the 1881 census, age 78, marital status was not known, 'no profession dividends'. Felicities Land was not listed in any censuses.

      Death: Philomon Land, age 81, died in 1882 per vital records indexes (Warwick vol 6d page 328 June quarter 1882).

      A memoire by Martha Wedmore nee Clapham 1882:

      We are of Clapham descent and cousins of Hannah Clapham, Philemon's mother. I have just been going through some documents which included a "memoire of our family" by a cousin Martha Wedmore nee Clapham. She writes: 1882 Cousin Land died at Leamington 20 June. First cousin to my parents (They were also first cousins to each other. SW) He had married a german lady, and after the death of their only child Frederika . . . they separated by mutual arrangement, she staying in Dresden, he returning to England . . . . great friend of my father, . . . came to stay often, . . smoked cigars, only the best . . . every year same unbrella, and probably same clothes . . . . quaint figure, grey hair cut like a frenchman and a pointed beard. He left £125,554 to be divided amongst his numerous cousins, and his only debt was for one box of cigars!

      Sue Walther from Norfolk, November 2006

    Philomon Land in the directories in Leeds: No listing in 1822, 1829, 1837 or 1834

    Other instances of the name: The only other Philomon Land listed on the IGI is the son of Thomas and Ellen baptized in Otley in 1823. Thomas Land, the son of Joseph Land and Mary Young, was born in Weston in 1794. Thomas married Ellen Kettlewell in 1819 in Weston. Thomas and Ellen had Martha baptized in Inkley in 1820 and the following children baptized in Weston, Joseph in 1824, Mary in 1827, Sarah in 1831 and James in 1838.

  3. Ruth Land and Thomas Shirrow

    Ruth baptized November 1766.

    Marriage: Ruth Land married Thomas Shirrow in Weston in 1788.

  4. Mercy Land and Joseph Farmer

    Mercy baptized January 1769.

    Marriage: Mercy Land married Joseph Farmer in Weston in 1794.

  5. Sarah Land and John Forrest

    Sarah baptized in 1771 or February 26, 1774 ( more likely the latter).

    Marriage: Sarah Land married John Forrest in Weston in 1800.

  6. James Land and Elizabeth Dixon

    James Land the son of John Land was baptized in Weston in 1775 (IGI).

    Marriage: James Land married Elizabeth Dixon in Adel in 1801 (IGI).

    Children: James Land had the following children born Weston

    1. John in 1802
    2. James in 1804
    3. Sarah in 1806
    4. Joseph in 1808
    5. James in October 1811
    6. Thomas in 1813
    (All information on James Land and Elizabeth Dixon taken from IGI)
Notes:
  • Since it is likely that they would haved named a son after his father, it is possible that Sarah Meyer was also the mother of one of three Johns baptized in the parish (one in 1762 and two in 1770).

  • It is also possible that she was the mother of Christopher baptized in 1772. Christopher was another unusual name and and was the name of one of Sarah's brothers. Christopher, the son of John Land, was buried on April 23, 1773.

  • If Philomon Land, whose son was baptized in the Queens Street Chapel in Leeds in 1802, was a relative of Charles Lewis Land, whose children were baptized in the Queens Street Chapel between 1818 and 1833, they were, at best, cousins of some degree.

Was there any relationship between Thomas Land and Charles Land (Married to Anne Dinsdell)?

Thomas Land (married to Ann Shirt) and Charles Land were both members of the Queen Street Chapel, Leeds. Queen Street Chapel was a relatively small congregation. Thomas Land and Ann Shirt had two children baptized in Queen Street: Ann in 1817 and John in 1822. Other children born to Thomas Land were baptized between 1803 and 1812 in St Peters Leeds and in 1814 in George Street Independent Leeds. All of the known children of Charles and Ann Land were baptized in Queen Street Chapel: John in 1818, Elizabeth in 1820, Elizabeth in 1823, James in 1826, Charles in 1829, and Emma in 1833. Is their connection to Queen Street Chapel significant?

Thomas Land lived on Walter Lane Leeds and other places in Holbeck. Thomas was listed on Water Land in 1822, 1829, 1830 and 1842. Charles Lewis Land was listed in Holbeck in 1820, 1822, "Water Lane" Holbeck in 1826, Holbeck 1830, and Brewery Fields Holbeck in 1833, Canning Street (Hunslet) in 1834 and Hunslet in the 1841 census. Ann Dinsdell Land (the widow of Charles Land) was on Terrace Street Holbeck in the 1851, 1861 Censuses and at her death in 1871. Are the addresses at Water Lane significant?

Both Thomas Land and Charles named daughters, Emma: Thomas in 1812 and Charles in 1833. The name was not common in general nor in the Land family. Is there any significance in the name Emma?

Thomas Land was born circa 1782/83. Therefore, he could not have been a son of Charles Land (born 1767) and Elizabeth Dunford.

Was there any relationship between Thomas Land and the Other Lands in Hobeck, Leeds souteast and Water Lane?

Connections Between Charles Lewis Land, Thomas Land, and other Lands at Land's Court Waters Lane, Hobleck

  • The batismal records of Queen Street Chapel indicate that:
    • Thomas Land and Ann Shirt were living at Water Lane in 1817 and 1822.
    • Charles Lewis Land and Anne Land were at Water Lane, Holbeck, in 1826 at the baptism of their son, James Dunford Land.

    There were several other Lands at Land's Court in Water Land, Holbeck between1817 and 1861. I do not know if there is any relationship between Charles Lewis Land and the other Lands connected at Walter Lane/Land's Court, Holbeck. The records are sparce and not consistant.

    In the 1830 Leeds Directory there were five listings for the surname, Land. Three of them were listed in Water Lane as follows:

    1. Mrs Mary Land, 24 Land's Court, Water Lane
    2. Thomas Land, flax spinner, canvas and sacking mfr., Land's Court, Water Lane, home, 10 Providence Row
      Note: Thomas was born c 1783, see Thomas above.
    3. Wm Land, flax dresser, 21 Land's court, Water Lane.

    Charles Lewis Land was not listed.

  • In the 1834 Leeds Directory there were six Lands listed in Leeds.

    Charles Land, cloth drawer, was listed at 29 Canning Street.

    The following Lands were listed at Water Lane:

    1. Mrs. Mary Land, 26 Land's Court, Water Lane
    2. William Land, retail ale and porter dealers, Jolly Sailor, 10 Camp Land, Water Lane.
      Note: William born 1803 married Elizabeth Kent. See Lands in Leeds

  • 1837 Directory listed Land William, beer house, Camp lane and Land's ct

  • Lands Court was not listed in Holbeck in the 1841 census. There were no Lands listed in Holbeck in 1841. John Land was on West Street In Leeds. His father, Charles Land, was on Canning Street, Hunslet.

    Note: There still was a Land's Court as indicated by later records.

  • In the 1842 Leeds Directory there were seven Lands listed in Leeds.

    Charles Land was not listed.

    1. John Land, cloth dresser, was at 56 Back Nile Street. John Land was the son of Charles Land.

    2. Thomas Land, "gent", was at 19 Water Lane

  • Jonathan Bentley, tailor, was listed at Land's court Water Lane Leeds in the 1847 White's Directory. I do not have access to the whole directory. This tid bit came from the Internet.

  • Lands Court was not listed in the 1851 census. John Vickies, hair dresser, was listed at 14 Walter Lane, Holbeck, which was the address of Elizabeth Land Shopkeeper in the 1857-8 Leeds directory. By this time, John Land was in Wakesfield, Westgate Commons.

  • In the 1857-8 and the 1861 Leeds Directories the only known related Land was James Dunford Land, clerk, on Caledonia terrace.

    There was only one listing for Land on Water Lane: Elizabeth Land, shopkeeper, 14 Water Lane. She was not listed tin either the 1851 or 1861 censuses.

Note: I believe it is significant that Thomas Land and Anne Shirt Land and Charles Land and Anne Dinsdell Land lived at Walter Lane and belonged to the Queens Street Chapel.
