Set As Default Person -
Name Harriett SPURRELL Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born 7 Mar 1822 - Date from baptism entry
Baptised 1 Apr 1822 Wesleyan Chapel, Morice Street, Devonport, Devon, England
- From baptism register (image on FMP, viewed 4 Nov 2023)
Gender Female Occupation From 1861 to 1891 Shoebinder - According to the 1871 and 1891 censuses, no occupation shown for her in 1881, although she no longer had young children to look after (as she had in 1871). Shown as a shoe maker in the 1861 census, although I suspect she had the specific job of binder.
Residence 1871 No. 5, Catte Street, Plymouth, Devon, England
- With her husband and 7 children, aged 1 to 22. However, I believe the youngest, another Harriet, though shown as daughter, was actually an illegitimate granddaughter.
Residence From 1881 to 1891 55, High Street, Plymouth, Devon, England
- Occupying 2 rooms, with her husband and daughter Jane. There were a number of other households at the same address.
Died Dec Q 1891 Plymouth Reg Dist, Devon, England
- GRO ref: Grylls, Harriet q4 1891 aged 68 Plymouth RD 5b 231
(I think this death is this Harriett GRYLLS as she was in the 1891 census, but not found in 1901, and the only Harriet* Gr(i/y)lls with an age suggesting born 1820-1824 found in the BMD GRO index (on FreeBMD))

Although they only married in 1849, they appear to have had a son together born in 1845 so seem to have been a couple for a while.
