John Jerred (b. 1833) son of Joseph Jerred and Sarah Elsworthy, married Frances Ann Orchard (bap. 3 Jul 1831 in Dulverton, Somerset), daughter of James Orchard and Elizabeth How, on 20 May 1862, at the Parish Church of St Thomas a Becket, in the village of Thorverton, Devon, as both of them resided in the parish. John's occupation was listed on marriage as Cooper.
John and Frances had two children:
- Lewis Jerrad (sic) b. 19 Mar 1863 in Silverton, Devon
- Frances Mary Jerrad (sic) b. 3 May 1869, in St Thomas, Exeter
In 1871, at Bishops Court Lodge, Sowton Village, St Thomas, Devon, were John Jerrad (sic) (35) Gardener (Bishop’s Court) from Thoverton, Devon; Frances A Jerrad (39) Ag keeper from Dulverton; Louis Jerrad (8) from Silverton, Devon and Frances M Jerrad (2) born in Heavitree, Devon.
In 1881, they had moved to Church Cottage, Halberton and John (46) had gone back to being an Agricultural Labourer. Daughter Frances Mary was still at home. Louis Jerred (18) was a Baker's Apprentice to George Hannabus, Master Confectioner from Cadbury, Devon, in Angel Hill, Tiverton.
In 1891, John Jerred (56), still working as an Ag Lab, and Frances Ann were living at Court Cottage, Corner, Halberton. Frances Mary Jerred was working as a Servant to Alfred T Gregory in Alsa Terrace, Tiverton.
In 1901, John (66), once more working as a gardener, and Frances Ann (69), had moved into the centre of Tiverton to 12, Hammetts Square. Frances Mary Jerred (31) was working as a Cook for Rev. Donald M Owen, Clergyman in the Church of England, at 25, Bampton Street, Tiverton. (That address is now an ugly modern building in use as the Royal Mail Tiverton Delivery Office.)
In 1911, John (78) and Frances (79), were living at 1 The Fords Homes, Old Blundells, Gold Street, Tiverton, Devon. (Alms Houses?) This confirmed they'd been married 49 years and had two children, both still living.
