Name Maria JUSTHAM Relationship with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Abt 1826 Milton Combe, Buckland Monachorum, Devon, England - 14 in 1841 census, 43 in 1871 census
Baptised 1 Apr 1827 St. Andrew’s Church, Buckland Monachorum, Devon, England Gender Female Occupation 1841 Lower Hellingtown, Buckland Monachorum, Devon, England Apprentice on the farm of Joseph Dawe - Lower Hellingtown was about a mile and a quarter from Milton Combe where Maria's parents lived.
Although the census just shows "Hellingtown" it is clear from the tithe apportionment listing of 1842 that Joseph Dawe and his large household lived at Lower Hellingtown. As well as the 38 acres that he owned with Lower Hellingtown Farm, he also farmed another 34 acres, Coombe Farm, owned by John Toll.
There were 20 dwellers at the Farm at the time of the 1841 census, shown split into 2 households. First was farmer Joseph Dawe, his wife and 6 children, aged 9 weeks to 11 years.
The other household was the servants and apprentices etc. There was one female servant (20 year old Naomi Nicholls), 2 female apprentices including Maria, 2 males servants - one aged 60, the other 20 year old Joseph Pike - possibly a relation of Maria's, and 3 male apprentices. The men and boys were probably employed on the farm and any moorland the farm had rights on; the women may have been involved with the farm, particularly dairy and young stock, but were probably also involved with housework for both households. Another 4 were in the servants /apprentices household : 2 elderly men of independant means (retired farm workers?), and 15 year old Mary Dawe, for whom the occupation field was left blank and a nurse, probably a short-term resident, her presence explained by the young baby.
