  • Name Benjamin SPURRELL 
    Relationshipwith Teresa Ann GOATHAM
    Baptised 3 Jun 1821  St. Bartholomew’s Church, Yealmpton, Devon, England See the place on a map and other information about it - if available (many more will be in time); also all individuals with events at this location

    Gender Male 
    Apprenticeship 1832  Yealmpton, Devon, England See the place on a map and other information about it - if available (many more will be in time); also all individuals with events at this location 
    • Yealmpton Parish records include
      "Spurrell, Benajamin apprenticed to Anthony, John" - ref, 731/799, year 1832
      Since it is in the Parish records it indicates an apprenticeship arranged by the parish to help relieve poverty; usually for boys this meant apprenticeship on a farm, learning general farm work.
      I'm sure that this must refer to this Benjamin, possibly as a result of the family facing poverty in the wake of his father's death.

    • The banns book definitely shows the 3rd reading as 21 March, though 25 would seem more likely.

    Married 13 Apr 1810  St. Bartholomew’s Church, Yealmpton, Devon, England See the place on a map and other information about it - if available (many more will be in time); also all individuals with events at this location 
    • Date and place from DFHS index of PR on FMP (viewed 30 Oct 2012)
      Easter was late in 1810, 22 April, so Benjamin was marrying in Lent - I don't know how common this was at the time.

      A 5 week old Eleanor was bur on 29 Nov 1823 and a 20 day old Robert on 14 Dec 1819; both may well have been children of this marriage
