      (FMP gives no archive refs, the 1st above is p.71 of whatever register it is in, the 2nd p.145, but a check when visiting the PWDRO will be needed to discover more about the 2 registers)
    Gender Male 
    Occupation From 1841 to 1851  Shiphay House, St. Marychurch, 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 
    House Servant 
    • A servant in the home of the Kitson family.
      In 1841 this consisted of a 70 year old clergyman, William Kitson, 65 year old Susanna and 30 year old Harriett (both of Independant means), 40 year old Thomas (also a clergyman), and 35 year old Mary (possibly Thomas's wife?) with 6 Kitson children aged 1 to 15.
      At that time there were 10 servants, 7 female and 3 male. Also present, but listed after the servants so maybe visitors were 4 others, 3 Sandys (of independant means) and another female servant (of the Sandys?).

      The extra information in the 1851 census makes the picture clearer.
      The Kitson family by then consisted of Thomas Kitson, Curate of the tiny parish of Haccombe, and Magistrate for Devon, Mary his wife, and 5 daughters aged 11 to 23. There were then only 6 servants, 4 female and Nicholas was one of just 2 male servants.
    Residence From 1871 to 1881  Barton, St. Marychurch, 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 
    • Just with his wife in 1871; with a niece, 21 year old Sarah Burgoyne, born Ashprington, in 1881, who was working as a Housekeeper - not clear, but I guess for Nicholas and Ann. (Two other Burgoynes also present in 1881, 55 year old Eleanor, born Box, and Emma, aged 12, born Ashprington).
    Died 7 Nov 1887  Newton Abbot Reg Dist, 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

    Notes 
    • (Research):Census registers show a Nicholas Vogwell born about 1810 in Plymouth; that and the parents' Christian names, there not being a surname Bogwell or Begwell and the baptism being in Plymouth when Nicholas (the father) appears to have been living there all point to the baptism being that of Nicholas VOGWELL (FOGWELL etc)
