From Wendens Ambo, St Mary the Virgin, Essex Parish Register:
  • (1827) Novr 25th Thomas son of Job & Sarah Reeve (of) Wendens, Labourer (by) J G Milne Curate
The 1851 census shows Thomas is age 23, a rail labourer, born in Wenden, living in Wendens Ambo with wife Betsy (22) and daughter Eliza (1).

In 1861, he was age 32, a plate layer, born in Wenden, living in Newport, Essex with wife Betsey (32) and children Eliza (11), Ann (8), Jabez (5), Elizabeth (2) and Emily (5mo).

In 1871, he was in Newport, age 44, with wife Betsey (43), and children Jabez (15), Elizabeth (13), Emily (10), Job (8), Susan (6), Rosanna (3), and Thomas (1).

In 1881, he was still in Newport, age 53, a platelayer on the railway, born in Wenden. With him are wife Betsey (53) and children Jabez (25), Job (18), Rosanna (13), Thomas (11), and a farm laborer named Henry Boyton.

In 1891, Thomas was in Newport with wife Betsey (63), children Ann (37) and Joseph (Job?) (28), and grandson Alfred Jackson (4).

In 1901, Thomas was in Newport with wife Betsey (73).

Thomas has not been identified on the 1911 census and it is probable his is the death registered during the second quarter of 1904 in Saffron Walden Registration District, at the age of 76. See Research Note 2 below.

Research Notes

(1) The GRO Index to Births notes the registration of daughter Eliza REEVE during 4q1849 and of son Thomas Charles REEVE during 4q1869. Both births were registered in the Saffron Walden Registration District (which includes both the parishes of Wendens Ambo and also Newport) and both give the mother's maiden name as REED.
(2) While FreeBMD show multiple entries for the death registration of potentially multiple individuals with the name of Thomas REEVE during 2q1904 in Saffron Walden RD, the more recent GRO Index to Deaths has only a single entry for an individual age 76, placing that Thomas's birth around 1828 ; a good match for this individual.
