Name George VOGWELL Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born 1815 Peter Tavy, Devon, England 
Baptised 21 Dec 1815 St. Peter’s Church, Peter Tavy, Devon, England - From PR (DFHS transcription, not seen PR image)
'George Vogwell', parents John and Joan, abode: South Godsworthy, father's occupation: farmer
Gender Male Occupation Miller Between 1834 and 1864 Lower Mill, Peter Tavy, Devon, England - Sometime in this date range, not the whole period.
The Peter Tavy book (p.58) lists some of the millers who worked the mill between 1834 and 1864 and this includes George Vogwill.
Occupation Ag lab 1841 North Godsworthy, Peter Tavy, Devon, England - Living with his parents, his father and brother recorded as farmers. Possibly the family farm wasn't large enough to provide work for all, and George had to work on another farm, probably larger and probably also at North Godsworthy.
Occupation Farmer 1851 Peter Tavy, Devon, England - Living in the village of Peter Tavy, so probably farming close to the village.
Since his daughter Charlotte gave her birthplace as Godsworthy (in the 1871 census) he probably moved from there to the village after her birth in about 1845.
("The Book of Peter Tavy ...", p 51 - says George and Hannah lived in Lang Cottage, now Spring House, but it is not clear when this would have been)
Residence 1861 Harford Bridge Farm, Mary Tavy, Devon, England - Living at the farm, no children with him.
Two with his brother John, and one living near John, in Whitchurch; I don't know where the others were.
