Narrative

In the small North Devon village of Ashford, two miles west of Barnstaple, the John Cutcliffe family lived for more than 60 years. John Cutcliffe was born in Combe Martin, approximately 15 miles north of Barnstaple, in 1810. His parents were probably John Cutcliffe and Mary Bowden, married in Combe Martin in 1805, and his grand parents were probably Edward and Mary Boyles Cutcliffe, married in Combe Martin (or Ashford) in 1773. Back in Ashford. John Cutcliffe, 24, from Combe Martin, and Susanna Hancock, 20, born in Heanton Punchardon, (a town one mile from Ashford), were married in the Ashford church in 1834. They had a tatal of 8 children . John was listed as an inkeeper in 1839. By 1843 he was listed as a cordwainer (shoemaker). In 1871 he was listed as an assistant overseer (doesn't mention of what). By 1881 census he was again listed as cordwainer. His son George and Hayman were also listed as cordwainers. Son Edward was listed as "smith". Ann at 21 is listed as housemaid and Mary at 17 is listed as dressmaker. John died in Ashford in 1895 at the age of 85 and wife Susanna died in 1899, at age 85. Their son George's family continued living in Ashford and all except daughter Mary Ellen are listed on a gravestone in the Ashford Church cemetery. We know that two of John and Susanna's children emigrated to East Bethany, New York, USA. Daughter Ann married Henry Westacott in May, 1870 in Barnstaple and emigrated in June of the same year. Son Edward and wife Lizzie also emigrated to East Bethany. Ann and Henry had one son, George Henry, born in N.Y. in 1871 from whom the writer, Jane Sanders is descended. Edward and Lizzie had several children, (we believe 6). We do not know the history of the other siblings: William, Jane, John, Hayman, and Mary. Sources: We located the family in 5 different census lists of North Devon, Ashford (1851, 1861, 1871, 1881, 1891) and also located birth registrations for siblings Ann (1839) and John (1843). We also have copies of marriage registrations for Ann Cutcliffe and Hery Wesacott, 1870; John Cutcliffe and Susanna Hancock, 1834; John Cutcliffe and Mary Bowden in 1805; and Edward Cutcliffe and Mary Boyles in 1773. We found death listings for John and Susanna Cutcliffe, death dates on tombstones for George Cutcliffe and for John and Mary Cutcliffe in combe Martin.
