BiographyPainter 1861 census mentions Enoch, 18, painter. Therefore b.1842/3. (ref. Esther). He was very tall with piercing blue eyes. He never went bald and wore his hair quite long, and he had a long shaggy beard. He wore a "smoking" cap, like a fez with a long black silk tassel, which he seemed to wear all the time. His hair was bright auburn when he was young, and his beard reached to his waist before he was twenty. (ref. Esther)He had the reputation of being very quick tempered and when he first put his "false-teeth" in, he lost patience with them and taking them out, flung them across the room. The teeth hit the wall and smashed to pieces. (ref. Esther)He retired in 1906, and died aged 85 after spending the last twenty years of his life at Spring Grove. (ref. Esther)Could not find his birth entry in the PRO Hogley 1837-1854, Ogley 1837-1849. Nothing in Almondbury PR baptisms from 1841 to Clara's baptism in 1844.
