At the time of the 1841 Census, Hannah, Mary, John, and their elder brother Lewis lived in the property numbered 666 in the Tithe Map below. They were the last of the couple’s seven children still living at home.

The cottage still stands, and can be seen in the photo.

The family were poor, and were frequently paid parish relief, and, even worse, Henry died that year.

In the ’51 Census, Elizabeth, recorded as a pauper, is living with Mary, a seamstress, in Nibley. Twenty years later, Elizabeth is living on Barrs Lane.

John died in 1842, aged 4.

Hannah, in 1851, was a servant in a Clifton boarding house.

After the 1851 Census, both Hannah and Mary disappear. Lewis moved to Newport, Wales, became a salt merchant, married, and died in 1869.
