• Notes

  Alfred was a bone dealer in the 1881 census for Darlaston, England. His parents are listed as James and Sarah Barnsley Dimmack in his death record in West Virginia. It says he was born in the same place as his likely brother, Ephraim was listed as Hayden Hill, co. Worcester, ENG which was probably on the border of co. Worcestershire. I say this because his brother Ephraim by the same 1881 census says he was born in Aydenhill, Stafforshire, England which I believe is the same place, spelled phonetically. I haven't been able to find it's locality on the Internet but the border areas changed counties often according to my research. He and his family lived at Herbert Park, 2 House Jones Blds., Darlaston, Stafford, England. His name was spelled Dimmack in his likely marriage record which occurred in Wolverhampton Parish, England though in the census it was spelled Dimmock. His wife and children immigrated in Nov./Dec. of 1881, so it is likely that he immigrated before them between the taking of the census and Nov. of 1881 when they are listed as passengers on the "City of Chester". They are listed as brothers if they are the Alfred and Ephraim who were sons of James and Sarah Dimmock in the 1851 census for Rowley Regis, co. Worcestershire, England. They both were the older generation in the Wheeling, West Virginia directories by virture of the fact that they both owned a similar business and their own residences --- or at least they weren't boarders any longer. Alfred is listed as a dealer in cotton rags, wrought and east iron scraps, old rope, bones, gum shoes, etc. In 1888, his location of his business and his home was the same at 2406-2408 Chaplline, Wheeling, WV. By 1892-3, his business included: metal refiner and smelter, mfr. plumbers' solder, babbitt metals... also dealer in cotton and woolen rags, tailors' clippings, rope, rubber, zinc, lead, heavy and light brass, coper, wrought and cast iron, stoves, heavy lump steel, heavy lump cast iron, steel scrap, bones, .... ect. He is listed as an Iron Dealer in his death record.
