Matthew ROBINSON [Parents] was born in Dec 1862 in Staithes, Yorks. He married Teresa CROOKS on 7 Mar 1886 in Hinderwell, Yorks. Matthew was employed as Fisherman.
Teresa CROOKS [Parents] was born in Jun 1862 in Staithes, Yorks. She died in Dec 1942 in Staithes, Yorks. She married Matthew ROBINSON on 7 Mar 1886 in Hinderwell, Yorks. Teresa was baptized on 25 May 1862 in Hinderwell, Yorks.
Teresa marries Matthew Robinson at Hinderwell Parish Church on 7 March 1886, her brother William is one of the witnesses. Matthew is a 23 year old fisherman, the son of Simeon Robinson, also a fisherman and his wife Lavinia. All that I know about Teresa is that she lived her whole life in Staithes, most of it, in a house, just two away from the one in which she was born.
It is mentioned in a paper she lives to the age of 78 years, which means she would have died around 1940.1891 Census

Coates CROOKS [Parents] was born in Sep 1864 in Staithes, Yorks. He died in Mar 1957 in Whitby RD. He married Elizabeth LONGSTER on 1 Nov 1906 in Hinderwell, Yorks. Coates was baptized on 2 Oct 1864 in Hinderwell, Yorks.
Apart from two years when he had a shop in Annfield Plain, he lived all his life in Staithes. He trained and qualified as a teacher, but became a fishmonger. On the death of his brother Bill, he became the oldest man in Staithes.
Staithes Record In Longevity.
Weather beaten Mr. Coates Crooks, blue-jerseyed fishmonger of Staithes, is probably the oldest "baby" in Yorkshire. He is 75!.
As he goes about his daily work in this quaint fishing village, the "youngster" is more or less under the solicitous eye of 89 year old brother William, 81 year old sister Elizabeth Theaker, and 78 year old sister Teresa Robinson.
His other brother, Tom who is 86, lives in Oldham, and occasionally drops a line to ask how "our lad" is going on. And, to be truthful, he's going on very nicely, but there is, perhaps, one regret in the life of Coates .... he thinks he might have done better if he'd carried on his original job of school teaching!
However, philosophically, he values the invigorating ozone of Staithes, the absence of rush and bustle, and the even tenor in which his life is pitched.
Mother Died at 90
Coates is one of 10 children, all born at Staithes. He lost his brother, Captain John Richard, who was 90, when he died in 1938. A ripe old age that, but longevity appears to be hereditary in the Crooks family, for the mother, Mary Ann Crooks, lived to be 90, though she had a foot amputated in the North Ormesby Hospital, Middlesborough, when she was 67.
Illness doesn't trouble the family much, Coates has had no sickness benefit, and his brothers and sisters enjoy good health.
Coates has been a member of the Oddfellows' Club since 1888.
William is a Methodist and a regular attender at Chapel, he was at two services last Sunday and expects to attend a great many more.
Whitby Gazette, Summer 1939"Mr. Coates Crooks, 82 year old, told me he was one of the first pupil teachers at the school in Staithes. For his first year there, he received £10 for his services, rising by yearly increments of £2 10s. until in his fifth year he received £20.
Thereafter, as a qualified teacher he was offered £50 per annum, and was forced to the conclusion that it was an uneconomical proposition! He abandoned it in favour of fish retailing.
He remembers: home-made kippers four pairs for 3d., salmon trout at 1s a lb., and herrings five for 1d were his prices."
Whitby Gazette 1946As school terms and years went by, there were scholars who revealed that they had abilities well above average and were, in addition, showing marked signs of responsibility and maturity. Among these were Coates Crooks, who was selected on the strength of his potential, to become a pupil teacher. A promising scholar, with a professional attitude could be employed in a probationary capacity, to give oversight to the children, under the direction of the head teacher. It was the head1s responsibility to pay close attention to lesson preparation and class management and to draw up regular reports on the pupil teacher' 5 progress.
There were many such pupil teachers of Staithes stock, among whom were Ruth Boyes, Fanny Grimes, Eliza Spink, Sarah Jane, Lavinia and Margaret Verrill and Matilda Trattles, who interrupted her teaching from time to time to accompany her father Captain John Trattles on his voyages. In 1892, at the age of thirteen, Lavinia Brown became a pupil teacher and embarked on a long and noteworthy career, which lasted until her retirement in 1944."Staithes, Chapters from the history of a seafaring town." by John Howard

Oldham Evening Chronicle 26 October 1907
Death of Mr. Jos. Toulson
We regret to announce the death of Mr. Joseph Toulson, which took place, in the 78th. year, on Wednesday, at his home in Greengate Street, Oldham. Mr. Toulson had been a meter inspector at the Government meter testing establishment in Oldham since June 1860, a period of 47 years. The place was formerly in Clegg Street but the present premises in Ascroft Street were entered in 1891. At the time Mr. Toulson began as an inspector he had one assistant and the number of meters examined annually was about 10,000. Now there are four assistants and the number of meters inspected is 52,000 each year. This increase is due to the growth of the meter trade in Oldham, many thousands of meters being sent away to foreign parts each year.
Mr. Toulson took much interest in religious work in connection with the Methodist New Connection Chapel, Union Street. He was also hon. secretary of the Oldham Mission from 1872 to 1892 and afterwards president of the same organisation for about eight years, advancing years compelling him to retire. He had not been in the best of health for some time and had not been able to attend to his duties as formerly.From a booklette 'The Diamond Jubilee' Working sub commetee, The Cheif Constable (Mr. Robert PEACOCK), Mr H L HARGRAVES, Mr J TAYLOR and Mr J TOULSON.
