1833 Parochial Assessment Great Marlow Spitalcrofts, Marlow Bottom etc

The next part of my gradual transcription of the original handwritten working notebooks used to compile this assessment. These faded notebooks are in the possession of my family, and also contain some pencilled in corrections from the later 1830s, though not in these parts, and related correspondence with some landowners etc.

This properties are all on the outer limits of the historic Great Marlow parish.

Thirza wife of above. Died Christmas Day 1916 age 84.

Research:

Thirza Carter married Thomas Stanmore at Marlow in 1870.

Thomas joined the army in 1856. He belonged to the 95th Derbyshire's also known as the Sherwood Foresters.  After he left in 1866 he worked as a coachman for Thomas Owen Wethered at Seymour Court. The two men both supported the Marlow branch of the Bucks Volunteers. Thomas won their shooting challenge cup for 2 years in a row. 

Thomas died of bronchitis. He had been an invalid for some time before that.

Thirza worked as a dressmaker after her marriage but was a servant prior to that. She grew up in Oxford Road Marlow, while her husband was from Wiltshire.

The couple's single known child was Thomas junior who went on to be a clerk at the Wethered family brewery in the High Street.
