Unmarked grave Jesse Dealey (1882-1941)
Jesse was born in 1882 to labourer Joseph Dealey and his wife Martha.
They lived in the very poor area of Red Lion Yard where Jesse was to remain for his whole life.
In 1891 Jesse was at home with parents and five younger siblings.
He became a bricklayer’s labourer and married laundress Lizzie Humphrey, who was also living in the Yard, in 1901.
Lizzie and Jesse had four children who grew to adulthood: Winifred (1902), Florence (1903), Albert J J (1906) and Sydney W (1915). The 1911 census notes that 2 children had died by that date.
In 1921 they were at 7, Red Lion Yard. Jesse was employed by the Urban District Council as a carter, possibly a dustman. Winifred was a factory hand at H. Lee & Sons, mineral waters; Florence was a general farm hand at Haresfoot Park Farm and Albert was a butcher’s boy.
1939 they were still at 7, Red Lion Yard, but Jesse, aged 59, was shown as “incapacitated”
Lizzie died in February 1940 aged 64 and was buried 7 February.
Jesse died in January 1941 at 7, Red Lion Yard and is buried here with Lizzie.
His father Joseph died 1916 and is buried in this cemetery.
