Note on Husband: Henry Thomas MEECHAM - shared note

In 1851 Henry is living with William 26 and Martha Pepworth 25. Also at this address are James (Widower) 53 and William Gobey 19.

 

In 1861 Henry is recorded as living with William Fletcher (55) and Ann Fletcher (54) as a Lodger. As Henry is still recorded I presume he did not marry again

 

Henry's burial record shows he died in the workhouse aged 74 years

Note on Wife: Rachel PHELPS - shared note

Rachel's burial record shows her age as 39 at the time of her death
