Name John VOGWELL Relationship with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Abt 1813 Peter Tavy, Devon, England Baptised 16 May 1813 St. Peter’s Church, Peter Tavy, Devon, England - From PR (DFHS transcription, not seen PR image)
'John Vogwell', parents John and Joan, abode: South Godsworthy, father's occupation: farmer
Gender Male Occupation 1841 North Godsworthy, Peter Tavy, Devon, England Farmer - With his parents, his father also recorded as a farmer but his brother as an ag lab. Possibly the family farm wasn't large enough to provide work for all, and his brother had to work for a larger farmer.
Occupation From 1851 to 1861 Lower Grimstone Farm, Lower Grimstone, Whitchurch, Devon, England Farmer - Farm of 90 acres (according to both censuses)
1861 census shows employing one man and one boy
Occupation 1871 Horrabridge, Sampford Spiney, Devon, England Ag lab Died Jun Q 1872 Tavistock Reg Dist, Devon or Cornwall, England - GRO ref: Vogwell, John aged 58, q2 1872 Tavistock RD 5b 250
Residence to Jun 1872 Latchley, Calstock, Cornwall, England Buried 6 Jun 1872 St. Andrew’s Church, Calstock, Cornwall, England - From Cornwall OPC database
Shows John as aged 58 and resident at Latchley.
Given the place of death I did wonder if I had the right John, though didn't know of another b c 1813. However, the 1881 census not only shows his last wife as a widow, but also a daughter born about 1872 as born in Latchley, so I'm sure the death was of this John.
