John CASSWELL - Sarah BARWISE
Suzanne,
According to the IGI the couple were married at Bourne, LIN on 27 April
1829 - her surname being recorded as BARWIS.
I then have them at Folkingham, LIN certainly by 1836 because daughter Fanny
Barwis (sic) CASSWELL was born there that year and baptized on February 28.
Fanny's baptism entry in the p'sh-reg details John as 'grocer' of
'Folkingham.
The 1841 census for Folkingham records the family household as follows:
Folkingham: HO.107.618.11.8-9 pp.9-10 - all born in Lincs
Casswell John . 50 . draper
Casswell Sarah . 40
Casswell Fanny . 4
Casswell John . 15 . shopman...... relationship unknown
Ripper Frederick . 15 . apprentice
Sandall Ann . 20 . female servant
Then in 1861 at Folkingham: RG9.2316.71 p.9/10 #.39
Casswell John . head . mrd . 74 . retired draper & grocer . LIN Pointon
Casswell Sarah . wife . mrd . 62/3 . LIN Market Deeping
Casswell Fanny Barwis . dau . sngl . 24 . LIN Folkingham
Atkinson John . ldgr . sngl . 29 . draper & grocer . LIN Rippingale
Atkinson Edward . ldgr . sngl . 22 . draper & grocer . LIN Rippingale
Sheepy? Robert . ldgr . sngl . 16 . assistant draper & grocer . LIN ---
Cooper Susannah . serv . sngl . 26 . house servant . LIN ---
... and also at Folkingham: RG9.2316.77 p.22 #.109
Casswell Sarah . wife . mrd . 33 . manager of draper's and grocer's shop .
LIN Folkingham
Casswell Thomas Felix . son . 6 . scholar . LIN Folkingham
Balden? Fanny . appr . 17 . drapers * grocers apprentice . LIN -?-
I believe Sarah above was the wife of Thomas Casswell, a farmer of
Folkingham.
John died at Folkingham on 11 March 1861 and was buried on the 15th.
His will dated 19 Feburary 1861 went through probate over a year later on 2
July 1862. Wife Sarah was the executor, daughter Fanny is mentioned.
Witnesses were Benj. Brackett & Edward Atkins. The value of the Estate was
£300.
The IGI appears to carry a baptism match for Sarah Barwis at Market Deeping.
I don't have access to the 1871 census for Folkingham nor any further
mention of Sarah and daughter Fanny. Possibly the pair of them married or
moved away.
