Romford...next door to Brentwood/Warley/Ingrave/East Horndon

Thomas Pasterfield and Lucy Ellis married on September 15th 1801, the 3 children listed as being christened at Romford date from 1806 to 1811 which probably means their was other children?

Thomas and Lucy appear in the Parish of St Edwards, Romford, Essex at the christening of their daughters Elizabeth Mary in 1806 and Ann in 1808, and their son who they also named JOHN in May 1811. ERO, Chelmsford.

The factual information above was obtained from the church records of the later day saints

1878 information provider is Kelly's directory
Mrs Ann Pasterfield is residing at the Unicorn Inn in Hare Street, Essex.

The Unicorn Inn dates back to at least 1772 when Richard Share was the licensee. 

Ann Pasterfield (nee Hall) was the licensee in 1878 and she is a widow at that time. John Pasterfield was her Husband. Was John the Licensee/Publican before his death in 1877?

In the September quarter of 1878 at Romford,  Ann Pasterfield married Thomas Wright  vol 4a, page 205.

1881 Census, Hare Street Unicorn Public House, Romford, Essex
In 1881 Thomas Wright (aged 71) is the publican and ANN Wright (maiden name Hall then Pasterfield aged 55 who was born in Romford, Essex) is his wife. It appears that Ann Pasterfield and Ann Wright are the same people! Ann married Thomas and he became the publican/licensee!
Also residing at the Unicorn in 1881 was Thomas Wright/son/aged 19, Henry Wright/son/aged 18, Alfred Pasterfield/son/aged 14 and born at South Weald, Essex and a Henry Benton who was a lodger/a driver/aged 20 from Writtle in Essex.

Hare Street appears to have vanished from the Romford map, it was there in 1919 and so was the UNICORN, at that time a George Edward Woodley (Licensee?) is the head of the household.
update......     http://www.essexpubs.net/HareStreet/unicorn.htm    displays old and modern pictures of the Unicorn pub. The Unicorn is now The Harvester 91 Main Road, Romford, are they the same pub and Hare Street has been renamed Main Road ? 

Alfred Pasterfield (son of John and Ann) is seen living as the head of the family at No 9 London Road, Romford in the 1919 directory (only lists head of household and no age).

The month of July 1875 was a very sad occasion for Charles and his wife S (Sarah).
Ernest their son aged 3 and Alice their daughter aged 1 died within 3 weeks of one another.
They died of Croup, Ernest having it for 5 days and Alice for 2 days.
Alice died on the 5th July and Ernest on the 24th July.

1875
In the December quarter of 1875 a Albert Edwin Pasterfield was born at London, Middlesex (Islington) volume 1b, page 403.
I have made a calculated guess in the absence of his birth certificate that he is the son of Charles and S.

Edwin T, Charles and Sarah's son dies the same year as his birth (did he die at birth?)

Samuel born about 1798 I have declared to be the son of William and Sarah, I have no evidence of this but hope to be able to obtain so in the near future.

Birth 1837
Samuel and his wife Sarah Matthews are stated as mother and father of newborn named Samuel Pasterfield on the 20th November 1837 at Grays, Essex.

Please note birth certificate of Samuel, born 1837, and then compare with census returns?

(note from census page of Lime Kiln Row that Frances Benson aged 15, whom William later married also lived there with her parents and her brothers and sisters), Eliza aged 15, John aged 15, Samuel aged 12, Mary aged 10, Uriah aged 8, Joseph aged 4 and Daniel aged 1 month.
A Joseph Pasterfield aged 30 (brother of Samuel 40?) is seen lodging just down the road at West Thurrock.

***please note***census directive to the officers conducting the census was when the individual/s did not know there age was for the officer to round down the age of the individual if over 15 upto the age of 45 to reflect his opinion of age to the nearest figure by five, ie 15/20/25/30 up to 45, for example if over 40 but under 45 the directive was to round down to 40. From the age of 45 upto the age of 60 the directive was to round up, for example if over 55 but under 60 the directive was to round up to 60. This reverted to rounding down once over 60. Registration of births/deaths/marriages became law in 1837 and by that act the accuracy of age understandibly improved.

12th April 1796
Samuel Pasterfield of the parish of Orsett at his marriage to Mary Barnes of this parish? married in this church by Banns. This twelfth day of April 1796, by me Thomas Norman
In the presence of....the mark of Ann Pasterfield (his sister)....and the mark of ?? Turvey who appears on several occasions as a witness at marriages of various people at this period in time, someone connected to the church who often stands in on such occasions.
This mark was solemnized between us
The mark of Sam Pasterfield
The mark of Mary Barnes

The above marriage of Samuel indicates he was 20 at time of marriage (I was told that he was born in 1776?) which is very young for a male of this period. His death recorded below indicates he was born in approxiamately 1768, which does have a variance on his age and appears to be inaccurate.

The following Baptism's took place at St Mary the Virgin Church at Great Warley, Essex
1801
William the son of Samuel & Mary Pasterville is baptised on the 3rd May 1801.
1803
Henry the son of Samuel & Mary Pasterville is baptised on the 23rd January 1803.
1805
Sarah the daughter of Samuel & Mary Pasterfield is baptised on the 14th April 1805
1810
Joseph the son of Samuel & Mary Pasterfield is baptised on the 13th March 1808.
1812
Mary the daughter of Samuel & Mary Pasterville is baptised on the 22nd November 1812.

CENSUS of 1841
at the Union Workhouse Billericay (at Great Burstead) it states Samuel is aged 75, but as you will note below, he died a year and a half after the census of 1841 in that same Union Workhouse aged 74. It appears that Samuel was born "give or take 5 years" around 1770. Samuel in the census of 1841 aged 75? is still working as an agricultural labourer.

Samuel Pasterfield died on the 8th November 1842.
He was declared as being 74 years of age and a labourer at the time of death.
He died of Apoplexy at Great Burstead in Essex at the Billericay Union Workhouse .
Witness at the time of death was B J Collis, of the Union workhouse, (Benjamin Collis in the census of 1841 is declared to be the Master of the Union Workhouse)
The death was registered on the 10th November 1842. December quarter, Billericay district, volume 12, page 7.

[Bryant]

Attaching James (Jas) is pure guesswork and gut feeling, no evidence whatsoever of how James came to be in the USA or if he is the first to cross the big pond, any evidence of where he came from or who his parents are would be greatly appreciated.

1830 census
Baltimore, third ward, line 1, page 129
Caleb Pasterfield aged 40 to 50 is the head of the household with wife of the same age, plus 5 children. One female aged 5-10, two females aged 10-15, one male aged 5-10 and one male aged 15-20.
---------------------------------------
James Pasterfield (son of James/Jas Pasterfield) as the head of the family is seen living in Parsons Creek with 2 free white males (one being himself), 1 x aged 5 to 10 and 1 x aged 40 to 50,
also recorded is 1 x  free white female aged 30 to 40. No slaves are recorded against them.
One assumes from the information above that James "junior" is at this time aged 40 to 50 years old and therefore born in the 1790's and also seeing that he married in 1815 one can also assume that it was pre 1795 at which time he would have been twenty years of age. His wife named Harriet one assumes wasn't born before 1798 at which time she would have been seventeen.
Taking in the information above and from the 1790 census of his father James one can also assume that James (junior) could have been born in the 1780's (1790 census states 2 males of the age 16 and under)
