  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.

• Notes

  Jane appears to have met and married Thomas when she was only 16 years old and he wasn't much older. Thomas was the eldest son of a large family whose father, Samuel, worked as a Blacksmith. One of his sisters, Elizabeth, was a straw bonnet maker when she was only 14. This is recorded in the 1851 census. Thomas himself worked as an Iron Roller then, aged 16. The young couple wed in 1852 and there was soon born the first of many children. By 1861 they were still living at Park St. Brierly Hill in Kingswinford in Staffordshire and they had 3 children. Thomas was now working as a labourer. In 1871 Jane appears to be living at 6, Queen Anne St in Christchurch in Southwark, which is in the Parish of St.Saviours, and describes herself as the Head of the family. She has 5 of her children living with her, the youngest being John, who was only a few months old. There is a real possibility that two of her little boys died here, John , only a few months old and Thomas, who was 5. She also seems to have had another child she called thomas later in the seventies, 1878. She described herself as a Charwoman, and there is no mention of her husband. I did assume she was then a widow but in 1881she is to be found in Poplar, living at 69, Culloden St, which is fairly amazing, since it was so close to where I was born. Thomas is there too, described as an Engine Driver, and Jane says she is a Dressmaker. There are still more children, the youngest now being Lillia, who was then one year old. In 1891 it seems she was indeed widowed, and is described as such. She is working as a Housekeeper to a Mr Hill, and has Evelyn, Thomas and Lydia Rose with her. The address is Clifton House, Erith near abbey Villas. By 1901 she is 64 years old and living at 4, Upper Abbey St, in Erith, in the Parish of All Saints. She has her 23 year old son, Thomas with her, who is working as a labourer, and there is a 5 year old grandson called William Sutton. I do not yet know whose child this is.
