Extracts from Jackie Green's (nee Liggins) correspondence ...
... I tried to find a reason for Annie Summers' first child to be born in Crowmarsh, Oxfordshire. It was customary to go home to Mum for the first baby, but failed to find a connection. It's too far not to have a special reason.
Extracts from Nancy Summers' (nee Ross) correspondence ...
William and Annie lived in Ivy Hatch, Ightham, Kent. In the 1881 census, William is noted down as a Farmer's Assistant (Ag Lab) but later was a Water Bailiff.
Extract from the 1881 Census has Household Record for:
William SUMMERS Head M Male 45 Ightham, Kent, England Farmers Assistant (Ag Lab)
Annie SUMMERS Wife M Female 34 Thurkburgh, Warwick, England
Helene Anne SUMMERS Daur Female 8 Crowmarsh, Oxford, England
Charles Wm. SUMMERS Son Male 5 Ightham, Kent, England
Sarah Ann RABSON Boarder U Female 20 Malling, Kent, England Mothers Help
Dwelling Ivy Hatch
Census Place Ightham, Kent, England
This must have been before he was a Water Bailiff.
He lived next to a Thomas Taylor who “Farmed 480 Acres, employed 34 Men and 8 Boys”
and had the same address;
Thomas TAYLOR Head M (Married) Male 54 Ightham, Kent, England Farmer 480 Acres 34 M 8 Boys.
There were a lot of farm workers who lived in the same area (from the 1881 census).
