East-the-Water Correlation of census records for the period 1841-1911 – North of the Bridge

Notes Last revised 11 August 2018 Due to numerous changes in street layout and house numbering it can be very difficult to follow an individual property in East-the-Water back through the census records. It is often only possible once you consider the locations of families at a street level, rather than a house level, then compare this with properties on the ground and information from other sources, such as deeds, plans, and trade journals. This document is intended as a finding aid to help locate who was where and which modern properties were associated with which families. All details have been transcribed from original images, but, as it is not intended as a replacement for the full census records, only heads of families are included in this document (except where further detail is useful for correlation) and places of birth have been deliberately omitted. Genealogists and those researching their house history should consult the further details, including places of birth and details for others on the premises, that are available on the full census records. These are available via the better online genealogy services, such as Ancestry, whilst transcripts of the Bideford census records are held by Bideford Archive. Where distinct correlations appear to exist, then these have been highlighted in colour. Where no distinct correlations tie together the dwelling sequences, then the alignments must be considered hypothetical. As further details become available it will hopefully be possible to refine these alignments. The 1911 Census has some odd house number sequencing around Vinegar Hill, with 1, 2, and 5, followed by 19, 9, 10, and 11, then 1 and 2 duplicated, but with different occupants, followed by 3. The 1901 Census lacks house numbers, so the numbers shown are the enumerators item numbers. There is also evidence that the enumerator did not work methodically in some streets, e.g. Torrington Street, making them impossible to align in this period without further evidence from third parties. This seems to be less of a problem in the Barnstaple Street area, but the reader should be aware of it. On the 1891 Census the returning officer appears to have alternated between the sides of Barnstaple Street to some extent whilst working southward along the eastern side, then picked up the remaining dwellings on the west by returning northward. Some dwellings are given house numbers, but a number are not. The majority of these are assumed to be on the western side of the street, except where they clearly fit better into the overall pattern if placed on the eastern side. Whilst the census sets out to record all who were present, even by 1881, when the census was no longer a novelty, the local press could report an individual with the attitude that “She was not going to put all down,--it would be letting they London folks know to much.” [“Bideford” North Devon Journal 07 April 1881 p8 c1] There seem to be a number of gaps in the census returns, especially from the lower income housing areas, presumably because a return was not made. The 1861 Census has several individuals added on the last page, with their address just “East-the-Water”. These are James Collacott, 79, receiving parish relief; Thomas Dark, 36, shipwright; William Hancock, 29, Sawyer; Salathiel Herbert, 23, ag lab. They don't immediately seem to link with any individuals from 1851 or 1871, so they can't be fitted in yet. The handwriting on the 1841 census is particularly difficult, all the addresses are given as “East the Water” with no differentiation into streets, and there the demarcation of properties in not particularly clear. As the 1841 census has no enumerators numbers sequence numbers have been assigned to help visualise the enumerators route, so that sequences of properties can be linked.

Vinegar hill falls at this point in most enumerator's records. The details for this alley are listed separately. The following section of Barnstaple Street had several cottages set back behind those on the street, that, coupled with a rapid turnover of occupants, makes it difficult to be certain about alignments, especially with Elliot's Cottages. An auction advertisement in the Bideford Weekly Gazette of 14 May 1889 [p4 c2] gives the location of Elliot Cottages. It identifies Lot 1. as "All that excellent Shop and Premises, No. 9 Barnstaple-street, now in the occupation of Mr Thomas Shute.” Whilst Lot 2. was "All those Four Cottages to the rear of Lot 1, and known as Elliot's Cottages, in the occupation of Messrs. Skerry, Channon, Palmer, and Bissett.” Mr. Gerald Ford recalled that his father had been born in one of the cottages that lay roughly behind the Ship-on-Launch Inn, and that these were known as Shute's Cottages. At the baptism of Gerald's father, the child's parent's gave their 1 On Mar 6 1898, at 6 Barnstaple Street, the 8 month old daughter of “T and A Backway” died.

Evidence from a court case in 1894 identifies John Peard immediately N of Way’s Yard in c. 1854, and John Swain at the same location in 18942.

In October 1848 the executors of Henry Tucker sold Clarence Wharf and a range of adjacent properties, included three cottages, now occupied by John Collacott, Elizabeth Tyke, and Frederick Jones. During the intervening years this group of three cottages would have been owned by the Bideford Anthracite Mining Company. The documentation for the sale of this area by that company, in 1865, indicates that it contained a dwelling house, with offices, and a group of three cottages that adjoined it. A similar group of three cottages, and a dwelling house on Clarence Wharf were offered as two of the lots in a property auction, advertised in November 1867. In the 1865 the cottages as advertisement the cottages were occupied by John Collacott, George Bird and Thomas Lane. In 1867 Thomas Lane, John Collacott, and John Bright occupied them. In 1867 they are described as comprising “a Kitchen, Pantry, and other convenient offices, and 2 Bed Rooms.” These cottages are clearly the three known, in 1871, as William Row or Williams' Drang. Tenants seem to have been on a yearly tenancy, so the occupant had often changed between censuses. In 1867 the house was occupied by Mr. Simon Lake. It is described in 1867 as comprising “2 Front Parlours, 2 Kitchens, Wash-house, and other suitable Offices, on the ground floor; and 4 excellent Bed Rooms and a Water Closet, on the first floor. It had a garden well stocked with fruit trees and measuring 112 feet length, by 37 feet breadth.

The high street number of Canada Cottages suggests these were on the west of Barnstaple Street, but this needs confirmation. In July 1887 Messrs. Sanders & Son., of Barnstaple, offered Canada Cottages for sale, and they were bought by Mr. J. Lugg for £285. The auction also included the Old Pottery in North Street, which failed to sell. [Bideford Weekly Gazette 19 July 1887 p5 c2] In Dec 1926, no's 1-3 Canada Cottages, Barnstaple Street, were advertised as lot 2 in an auction, when their respective occupants were given as “Messrs. S. Glover, F. Tithercott, and W. T. Waters.” Other properties in this auction included 24-26 Meddon Street, a shop in Tower Street, Northam, and a new dwelling house, 1 Tynaway Terrace. [North Devon Journal 16 December 1926 p1 c2]. In 1900 one E. L. Blake, dressmaker, gave her address as 43 Barnstaple Street [Bideford Weekly Gazette 19 June 1900 p4 c4], though in the 1901 census that address is not specifically listed. Shipwrights listed on the 1841 census could have been living on vessels that were under construction, or in temporary wooden constructions.

Vinegar Hill Vinegar Hill is a narrow pedestrian thoroughfare, which formerly had houses both along it and in groups lying off it. The area had a very high turnover of occupants and, at times, it seems that the occupants did not all make census returns. Before house numbers were used it is very difficult to identify the route taken by the enumerating officer. At various times houses were demolished, further complicating the picture. 1841 1851 1861 1871 1881 1891 1901 1911 Seq 135 Frederick Rooke, EN 117 Barnstaple Street, EN 162 Vinegar Hill, 1 Vinegar Hill, Cornelius EN 63 Vinegar Hill, 4 30, Ind Thurza[?] Rook, Hannah Fendon [or Rook, Head, Married, 41, rooms, Augustin Rook, unmarried, Dress Maker Fenclou], Wife (husband Painter head, M, 38, Bargeman, out at work), Mar, 34, worker Laundress
