Name John SPURRELL Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Jun Q 1848 Bickleigh, nr Plymth, Devon, England 
- From 1851 census where shown as aged 3
GRO ref: Spurrell, John q2 1848 Plympton St Mary RD 9 424; GRO online index shows mother's maiden name as Hodge
Birthplace shown as Roborough on 1901 census
Gender Male Occupation 1871 Miller - Miller's son in census, miller on marriage certificate (PR entry) later the same year.
Though the marriage entry shows him as resident in Stoke Damerel this may have been an address of convenience for the marriage, as he was living with his parents in Bickleigh at the time of the census, and appears to have lived there afterwards (certainly by the time his daughter Minnie was born in 1874)
Residence From 1891 to 1901 Milton Combe, Buckland Monachorum, Devon, England Occupation 1891 Contractor Occupation 1901 Carter on roads Died 1902 Plymouth Reg Dist, Devon, England - Place doesn't fit with where the family were living in 1901 and 1911 - perhaps John was visiting Plymouth or there at work when he died.
