Note details re age and place of birth do not agree exactly with other rec ords
for Edward & Elizabeth, but gravestone of Edward confirms Burrow Fa rm as
abode at time of death and gives age as per other records. The deta ils on this
census return are probably wrong. 56 orginally transcrib ed by Ralpha Chave
should read 50. Also note gravestone and burial a ge do not agree with Baptism
entry or with 1851census.
Assumed error in age on gravestone and register. Census return don't mat ch
each other or either register. From Elizabeth's will the connection wi th Samuel's
family is clear. Also Edward described as of Uplowman, despi te living in Ashbrittle
on Barrow Farm (see gravestone and burial regist er and 1851 census). Edward's
sister, Elizabeth, was also describ ed as of Uplowman in the marriage register,
despite being baptised in Samp ford Peverell.
