GEDCOM Note

From Carole: 1851 census shows John Sandford as a farmer at Marshwood (listed 1) farming 172 acres and employing men. Does not give how many, but more on that later. John was aged 53 and Hannah 47. She is listed as farmer's wife. It can deduced that at some point after their marriage, they moved from Hawkchurch to Chardstock, and betwen 1839 and 1843 to Axminster and thence between 1845 and 1851 to Marshwood in the parish of Cricket St Thomas, although on the map it is much closer to Winsham/Ford Abbey/Chard Junction.
