Name John Thomas WILLIAMS Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Abt 1862 Meavy, Devon, England
- From 1871 census where shown as aged 8
Baptised 20 Jul 1862 St. Peter’s Church, Meavy, Devon, England
- From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 27 Jun 2015)
Gender Male Occupation 1871 Meavy, Devon, England
Farmer son - John's younger siblings were shown as "scholars" but aged 8 John appears to have already left school. His older brother James was not living at home at this time so no doubt there was work for him to help with on the small family farm.
Occupation 1881 Meavy, Devon, England
Farm labourer - John's elder brother James was described as "Farmer's son" but, although he was living at home, John was in the census as "farm labourer" - I suspect his father's 36 acres were not enough to provide work for 3 men
