Name Cecilia Foote NORTHMORE Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Baptised 14 Dec 1828 St. Peter’s Church, Meavy, Devon, England 
- From Dartmoor Press info, also on DFHS Tamerton Deanery CD - Cecilia Foote Northmore, day of Richard and Grace, father a farmer, abode Goodameavy
Gender Female Residence From 1871 to 1913 Urgles, Goodameavy, Meavy, Devon, England - At Urgles by the time of the 1871 census, still there when she died.
The 1911 census shows this was a 6 roomed house (rooms including kitchen but excluding any scullery, warehouse, office etc., also excluding the bathroom if they had one)
Urgles Farm was sold in 2011, reported to have remained in the Williams family for 'over 100 years'. As Cecilia's father-in-law was recorded at 'Hurgles' in 1857, it was well over 100 years, at least 150 years.
Occupation 1911 Urgles, Goodameavy, Meavy, Devon, England Farmer - Despite being aged 82 Cecilia was described as a farmer at the time of the 1911 census. While she was shown (by corrections to the census entries) to be employing 2 it appears that these were her daughter Mary (37) and granddaughter Amelia (16) but these 2 were shown as doing the dairy work. Mary was shown as married rather than widow, but Mary's husband was not present.
I suspect the census enumerator only showed 2 because he just knew of 2 'employees'. Family tended not to view their own children etc. as employeers and there was another.
Whilst not present at Urgles, son Mark in his census entry showed he was working as a farmer's son - which implies Urgles.
Died 28 Mar 1913 - Date from gravestone inscription:
[with husband]
"Also Cecilia Foot
the beloved Wife of the above
who died March 28th 1913
Aged 84 Years."
Grant of Administration 31 Jul 1913 London, England Granted to her son James Richard - "Williams Cecilia Foot of Urgles Meavy Devonshire widow died 28 March 1913 Administration London 31 July to James Richard Williams farmer.
Effects £782 14s. 7d."

Father Richard NORTHMORE, bap. 22 Apr 1787, St. Peter’s Church, Meavy, Devon, England , d. 21 Apr 1849 (Age ~ 61 years) Mother Grace DRAKE, b. Abt 1792, d. 21 Oct 1830 (Age ~ 38 years) Married 8 Jun 1819 Walkhampton Church, Walkhampton, Devon, England - From the DFHS index, as on FMP (viewed 24 Sep 2012)
(also in Dartmoor Press info)
The fact that Richard's will names his children as John, Anne, Mary, Martha and Cecilia and his brother as Mark shows that the Richard who married Grace was the son of John and Ann, not the son of Richard and Cecilia - unless the latter also had a son named Mark who I haven't found!
