Coffins Farm, Lynton
« on: Wednesday 11 October 06 16:04 UTC (UK) »
Could anybody give me any information on this farm as my ancestors farmed this property from 1841-1891 (not sure as havent found them or property on 1901 census yet!).

It was first farmed by a William Jones born c1798 and then by his son-in-law another William Jones born c1828.

Any info, such as where it was, does it still exist would be much appreciated and any photos would be even better!  Smiley

Many Thanx

Have you got access to Ancestry ?

If so, you can examine the 'Enumerators Pages' - which describes their 'walk' around the district - and combined with the address shown for the actual enumerated names, should give you a feel for the location.

Photos ! Maybe the local Papers or Library ?

The younger William is at home with Father Richard on a property called Six Acres .. in 1851

Here's the older William in 1851 - the Farm is 160 acres, called 'Coffins' - the 20th dwelling on the Enumerators 'walk' - and close by 'Six Acre'  ... the District description doesnt help locate it, but does name a mixture of hamlets and farms that a local might piece together.

Later census may be more specific ...

If you go to "Old Maps", and choose "Co-ordinate" then enter 269293, 147998 you'll see Coffins Heanton Farm.  It's also shown on Get-a-map if you enter Lynton, then click once to the east. On there it's named as Caffyns Heanton Farm.

Hi Delyth

According to the "Return of Owners of Land - Devon 1873" a Philip JONES owned just over 7 acres of land at Lynton at this date. The land had a gross annual rental value of 10 shillings.

The return recorded all who owned an acre or more of land in the county in 1873.
