  •  

  • The register entry for his baptism gives his date of birth.

  • Baptism:

    His parents would have been present but who else is not known.

  • Occupation:

  • frm 1820 to 1875 (age 13-69)

  • gardener and dairyman; Tottenham, Middlesex1

  •  

  • The earliest record of William's association with dairying is the baptism of his oldest son William in September 1828 where the register gives his occupation as a cow keeper which is repeated for the baptisms of all his other children. The 1841, 1851 and 1861 Censuses all give his occupation as a gardener with the 1861 Census being more specific as a domestic gardener. However, on balance it is thought that William was probably a market gardener who also kept cows. This view is reinforced by the 1851 Census where his wife Mary's occupation is shown a milk vendor.
