Isaac, the son of John and Ann Stables, was born in Darfield and baptised at the Parish Church on April 7th,1811.

He went to work in the nearby parish of Wath, where he met and married Susannah Broom, the marriage taking place on January 23rd, 1837 at Wath Parish Church. His brother, Abraham, was a witness at the wedding.

Susannah was the daughter of William Broom and Mary Hewerdine of Cottesmore in Rutland and was baptised at Cottesmore on November 9th, 1817.

In 1841, Isaac and his family lived at the hamlet of ‘Lee Brook’ in the Brampton Bierlow district, where he was employed as an agricultural labourer.

Isaac and Susannah had five children: Mary Ann (b.1837), George (b.1839), Elizabeth (b.1841), Jane (b.1843) and Emma (b.1845).

On August 27th, 1845, he died suddenly, of a stroke, whilst at work in Stubbin Pit, near Rawmarsh. He had been unwell for a fortnight and it was his first day back at work. A work-mate found him laid on a corve. He was buried at Wentworth Church on August 31st, 1845, aged 33 years.

After Susannah was widowed, her brother, Henry Broom, went to live with the family.

She had three more children, outside of wedlock, after her husband’s death: Samuel William (b.1848), Hannah (b.1850) and Henry (b.1856). The father is believed to have been John Bisby, a butcher, who was the son of Samuel & Hannah Bisby.

On December 30th, 1857, Susannah re-married, marrying Joseph Haigh a miner from Street. He appears on the census to be ten years her junior, being the same age as her eldest daughter, Mary Ann. At least two more children: Joseph and Harriet, were born to her second husband.
