George Tooze (b. 1778) son of Thomas Tooze and Dorothy Woodbery, married Anne Clarke at All Saints Church, Holcombe Rogus on 27 Nov 1803.

George and Anne had seven children:

1. John Tooze bap. 2 Sep 1804 in Holcombe Rogus [1]

On all of the baptisms, George's occupation is listed as Chairmaker.

1841, George Tooze (60) Chairmaker; Ann Tooze (60) with Mary Tooze (12), John Vickery (6) and Susan Vickery (3) were living at Bulgins, Holcombe Rogus. Presumably, all three children were their grandchildren.

In 1851, living on Golden Hill, Holcombe Rogus, were George Tooze (74) Pauper Formerly Chairmaker and Ann Tooze (73) Pauper.

George Tooze died, at 75, in 1853 J Quarter in WELLINGTON-SOMERSET AND DEVON Volume 05C Page 275. Ann Tooze died, aged 81, in GRO Reference: 1860 M Quarter Volume 05C Page 306.

Pedigree of the Fullers

Many of us know where we are descended from one of George Fuller and Eliza Ellen Hockley's children, so here is a pedigree, showing just those of their direct ancestors I've been able to identify (each indent is a further generation). Click on the links and individual pages lead to other family members, offspring, siblings, etc., where I've researched them. This is a slower process than you could ever imagine, but at the same time, worth mentioning that pages will and do change when I add more research and link people to their relevant pages.

• George Fuller and Eliza Ellen Hockley

• James William Fuller and Maria Phillips
• Robert Fuller and Elizabeth Ann Bradley
• Robert Fuller and Elizabeth Bass

Joseph Phillips and Ann Clarke

Joseph Phillips married Ann Clarke at St Mary Magdalene church, North Ockendon on 12 Jan 1801, the first ancestors I've found in this branch.

Joseph and Ann had at least five sons:

1. James Phillips bap. 12 Feb 1804 (buried 21 Nov 1804) both at St. Nicholas, South Ockendon
2. Thomas Phillips bap. 25 May 1806 at St. Nicholas, South Ockendon
3. James Phillips bap. 17 Jul 1808 at St. Nicholas, South Ockendon (buried 2 Oct 1814 at St Michael, Aveley)
4. William Phillips born 25 Dec 1810, bap. 20 Jan 1811 at St Michael's, Aveley. (There is a burial of a William Phillips, aged 31, on 25 Apr 1841 in Rainham that may relate.)
5. Isaac Phillips bap. 26 Dec 1813 at St Giles & All Saints, Orsett

It's also possible that there was a sixth child, as there's a burial of a Joseph Phillips, aged 5, in Aveley, on 3 Dec 1815 (so also born 1810). However, I haven't been able to find a baptism to confirm he belonged to this family.

Haven't been able to find out for certain when Ann died, but there was a burial of an Ann Phillips (37) in Grays Thurrock on 18 Apr 1819. Then in 1841, there is a Joseph Phillips of the right age (65) with a wife Susan (50), Eliza Phillips (20) and Emma Phillips (1) in West Thurrock, Orsett, so perhaps he remarried.

There is a death of a Joseph Phillips in 1844, in Orsett, aged 67.
