(courtesy of Ilkeston Reference Library) William was elected Mayor of Ilkeston for 1892-1893. In 1894 he disposed of the ‘ironmongery, plumbing, gas fitting and glazing departments‘ of his business. These were taken over by his two erstwhile assistants — Samuel Greenhough (1861-1944) and Benjamin George Johnson (1870-`1944). William and Elizabeth Hannah retired to Parkhyrst, below, in Park Avenue. William and Elizabeth Hannah both died there in December 1906 and December 1916 respectively. They were buried in the family grave at Ilkeston General Cemetery — about 40 metres along the central path, standing back and on the right, under a large stone Celtic cross. Buried in the same grave are their children, Annie Elizabeth (first child), Frank Cholerton (eldest son) and Annie (fifth daughter, despite what is inscribed on the gravestone). In July of 1917 the contents of the home were auctioned off and then in September 1919 Parkhyrst was opened as a Maternity and Children’s Home, having been purchased by Ilkeston Town Council a few months earlier. 2. In 1861 second son John Cholerton married Mary Hannah Boden, eldest daughter of Derby baker Francis and Ann (nee Wheeler). He then returned to Derby where he worked in the timber trade with his younger brother Thomas. John Cartwright recalled that he died about 1891 in Edinburgh, by which time he was employed as a commercial traveller. 3. Son Thomas also worked in the Derby timber trade, occupying premises in Albion Street. He married Caroline Mary Barton, daughter of Derby sculptor William and Betsy (nee Gregory) in February 1864. 4. Daughter Annie married at the Independent Chapel on September 13th, 1865, to William Christopher Moon, a travelling salesman in the chemist/druggist trade from the North East. The couple eventually settled at Gateshead. 5. Jim later on left the town (recalls Adeline) Youngest son James was the ironmonger of the family but having married Eliza Jane Turner in May 1868 he left Ilkeston about 1870 with his wife and two children allowing his brother William to absorb the ironmongery. James however continued his very successful trade at 86 St. Mary’s Road in Glossop and was there at the end of the century with his second wife Agnes (nee Hicks), eldest daughter of John Michael and Agnes Dolce (nee Whitehead). His first wife Eliza Jane had died in 1881.
