The house was leased from Robert Mason Junior, as the trustee of Elizabeth Millard Hooper.

Emma died of measles in 1843, and was buried in St Martins chuchyard.

******************************

In 1851, George was living at Castle Farm in Dursley, working as a farm servant. Ten years later, he was back in Pitcourt, living with his parents and nephew, and working as a sawyer.

I can’t find George on the 1871 Census.

In 1881, he was living with his sister and her family at The Kings Head, in Uley (pictured above). He was working as an agricultural labourer. Ten years later, he was living as a farm servant in Heathfield, Berkeley. He died in 1895, aged 61. He was buried in North Nibley churchyard, and his residence recorded as Waterley Bottom.

Mary was living in Nibley with her parents in 1851. In the household was the 3-month-old Henry A (Arthur). This was Mary’s illegitimate son, born in Twerton, Somerset, but baptised in North Nibley in November 1852.

In 1861, Mary was working as a house servant in Hastings. Henry was living in Nibley with her parents. A year later, she married Edwin Deason, a seaman, in Hastings. Ten years later, the couple were living with their two sons in Southwark, London. Edwin was now a customs officer. In 1881, the family were living in Guerin Street, Bow, London, where they were still living in 1891.

Mary died in April of that year, aged 59.

In 1861 Sarah was servant in Woodmancote, Dursley. In 1866 she married George Summers.

In 1871 and 1881 the couple and their 3 children were running the Kings Head in Uley but, in 1891, they had moved to Binley Farm, at the far-easterly arm of Nibley parish, and George was recorded as a farmer. Ten years later, George was again an inn-keeper, at the White Hart Inn, in the centre of the village. In 1911, the couple were living at Crowell in the parish.

I can find no further records of Sarah
