Note on Marriage

Witnesses were Philip Loye and Ann Gillard Cole

Note on Husband: William Lawrence PITTS

At the 1851 Census William was staying with his Uncle John Prettyjohn Pitts and his Grandmother Sara in Stokenham.

 

The three daughters were all unmarried at Muckwell farm in 1901.

 

Mrs Jane Ann is still at Muckwell according to Kellys 1902 Directory, but by 1906 it is being farmed by William Henry Widger.29

Note on Wife: Ann Elizabeth Cole LOYE

In 1861 William Pitts is lodging with William Cole "learning farming" and presumably is already courting William'sstepdaughter or meets her there.
