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.19

Note on Wife: Jane Ann HORTON

Jane's brother Samuel is farming at Start, Stokernham in 1881, and Jane is living with him and his family

 

In 1901 after William's death, William Edmund Partridge, 41, born in Woolfardisworthy, is Farm Manager, living at Muckwell. Is this a connection that results in Ann and husband living at Woolfardisworthy? Though the farmer next door is James Partridge

 

In 1902 Partridge marries Kate Pitts

 

In 1902 Kellys has Mrs Jane Ann Pitts, farmer at Muckwell.
