Pitchers of Hodgcombe Farm
Posted: Mon Jun 09, 2014 4:59 pm
Further to my earlier search for George Richmond is it possible to find out more about what was happening in Dursley and Cam in the 1840s?
George born 1826, son of Hannah (1796) laundress, married to ? Richmond, grandmother Hester French (1771), journeyman tailor to Master Tailor Daniel Mitchell in Long Street, had 2 brothers, Thomas (1821) and William (1832) They all went to live in Birmingham at some point.
George married Mary Pitcher of Hodgecombe Farm, Cam/Coaley (born 1821) Is the farm still there?
Are there any records of school attendance from this time? Could they have attended Joseph Twemlow's school? Are there any marriage records? Could they have been dissenters?
What would a tailor be making at that time? What crops/animals would have been farmed then?
I would be most grateful for any information.
