Great x3 Uncle John Henry Nott

My Great x3 Uncle John (1852 - ?), was an elder brother of my Great Great Grandmother Bessie Staddon Edworthy (nee Nott) (1859 - 1919).

John was born in Jul/Aug/Sep 1852 in the district of Crediton, Devon, to William Nott (??), an agricultural labourer, and Grace Nott (nee Cobley) (about 24), a wool weaver.

John was baptised on 19th September 1852, in Morchard Bishop, Devon. At the time of John's baptism, the family resided at Leigh.

John was the second of nine children (four sons and five daughters):

  • William  1850 - after 1861
  • John Henry  1852 - after 1861
  • Frederick  1853 - 1927  (74)
  • Mary Emma  1855 - after 1871
  • Eliza Lydia  1856 - 1869  (12)
  • Bessie Staddon  1859 - 1919  (about 60)
  • Walter  1860 - 1916  (55)
  • Jessie Rose 1864 - 1947  (83)
  • Agnes  1866 - 1924  (57)

1861 Census:

I'm presently struggling to find John and his older brother William after the 1861 Census. Did they move away, pass away young, change their names?
