Thomas and Ruth Arrowsmith
« on: Friday 03 July 09 20:28 UTC (UK) »

George Evans married Jemima Drage at St Martins in the Field in 1820. A colleague has transcribed the witnesses as Thomas and Raph (? difficult to read) Arrowsmith.

They are likely to be Thomas Arrowsmith and Ruth Watson who married in the same church in 1812.

The Arrowsmiths are probably just friends rather than relations, but they don't appear to have had any children in the area, and I can find no other definite reference to them. Can anyone else?

And in the 1841 and 1851 censuses in St Martin in the Fields there is a labourer Thomas Arrowsmith born circa 1775. The 1851 census lists him in the workhouse, a widower from Beliffe (?) in Bedfordshire.

Hi

I actually read the enumerated birthplace as "Ocliffe" - which may be an attempt at "Hockliffe"(?)

Thank you for those; I had seen the 1851 entry and also read it as Ockliffe (but hadn't seen the 1841 entry) and thought it likely that it was the right Thomas, but will need to look for Ruth's death.

The 1833 directory entry is also new: judging by the George Evans, who was a messenger at the East India Company, I don't think he would be mixing with the fashionable, but who knows?!

Another possibility is Thomas Arrowsmith the printer who was publisher of the John Bull newspaper and the subject of several expensive libel cases in the 1820's. He was based in Fleet Street, not too far away from St Martin's in the Fields.
