| Notes |
- From the Tackley fiche from Brian Stringer it says that William married Mary on the 21st December, 1829, with witnesses Thomas Harris and Elizabeth Jennings. The Banns were read on 6, 13, and 20th December. In the 1841 census, William is 30 and Mary is 25. He is described as a shopkeeper, and they have 5 children, Thirza being the youngest at 8 months old. All the family were stated to have been born in Tackley in Oxon. Tackley is obviously the Tickley and the Tuckley mentioned in later censuses; the village is just north of Oxford. In the 1851 Census, William is still married to Mary and they are both living in Tackley in Oxfordshire. The address seems to be something like 22, Nethercott. They say they were both born in Tackley. He was then 40 years old and she was 38 years old, although she could have been either two years older or younger, according to other statistics. His occupation is recorded as being a Carrier, as was his eldest son William, then aged 19 years. They had a large number of children: William was 19, Ann was 17, Jane was 15, Sarah was 12, Thirza was 9, Lydia was 7, Docrinda was 5, John was 3 and the baby Henry was 1. By the 1861 census, it appears that William and Mary had left the village, and there is no record there of the family in 1871. Indeed Lavinia was born in 1853 in Stafford, according to the 1881 census. Her birthplace is also recorded as being in Hereford (Mar.1853.Hereford 6a 433-family record centre). His occupation in 1881 is described as an agricultural labourer, but he is living in The Rose and Crown pub in Kenley, Coulsdon, with his wife, Mary. They have living with them an unmarried daughter called Lavinia, who is 28 years old and a dressmaker. Also living with them are grandchildren, Henry, aged 15 years (my Grandfather), and Sarah, aged 11 years. Henry is described as a shopboy.
