Name William Henry VOGWILL Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Abt 1864 Linkinhorne, Cornwall, England 
- From the 1871 and 1881 censuses where shown as aged 6 and 16 (no occupation shown in 1881)
GRO ref: Vogwell, William Henry q1 1865 Liskeard RD 5c 64; GRO online index shows mother's maiden name as Buckingham (and surname as Vogwill)
Gender Male Education 1871 Ulverston, Lancashire, England Scholar Residence 1871 Daltongate, Ulverston, Lancashire, England - With his parents and siblings, Eliza Jane and Silena. Also present were 2 boarders, both miners like George, and both born Cornwall 24 year old John Dawes in Linkinhorne and Elijah Penrose, 26, in Redruth.
Residence 1881 James Place, Greenfield, Holywell, Flintshire, Wales - With his parents and siblings. Strangely, given that he was aged 16, no occupation was shown for William, although he was not shown as being a "scholar" either.
(Flintshire is the modern county, not that of 1881)
Residence From 1888 to 1891 Gunnislake, Calstock, Cornwall, England - At the time of his marriage 1888, and when his dau Edith died 1891
Occupation 1888 Gunnislake, Calstock, Cornwall, England Miner - (from marriage data)
Residence 1901 39, Northumberland Avenue, St. Budeaux, Devon, England - William and his family were living in Station ward in St Budeaux (St Burdeaux Ecclesiastical Parish, but Devonport Civil Parish).
In a 4 roomed house, with at least 6 children (aged 1 to 10) I imagine the family could have made full use of the space, but they had 4 young men boarding with them. Three were "labourers on extension", the other a carpenter and joiner.
The census entry is missing daughter Gertrude but shows William's wife's name as Gertrude rather than Grace; I suspect 2 people have accidentally been combined by the ennumerator.
Occupation 1901 Points turner - William and his family were living in Station ward in St Budeaux; I am guessing that a points turner was therefore a job related to railway points, but I'm not sure.
Residence 1911 Henwood, Linkinhorne, Cornwall, England - With his wife, and 6 of his 8 living children: Gerty, William,, Ada, John, Percy and Georgie; Gerty was married and her husband was also living with the family.
The family were living in a 6 roomed house - a generous size for a miner.
Occupation 1911 Linkinhorne, Cornwall, England Miner in tin mines Residence 1927 Barn Street, Liskeard, Cornwall, England - Residence at the time of his death, as recorded in the burial register
