Goldsbury
The Goldsbury family are living in Saxham Cottage from the 1880s to 1901. They may have been quakers.
The 1881 census names a widower Edmund Goldsbury age 61, living with his son also Edmund, age 36, living in Saxham Street, Stowupland.
Edmund, Snr was born in Dallinghoo, Suffolk whilst his son was born in 1844 in Clerkenwell, Middlesex. Edmund, Snr, had married Mary Ann Brain and brought up their 2 sons and 3 daughters around Islington and Clerkenwell, moving out to Suffolk after his wife’s death in 1872.
Edmund Snr’s profession is given as retired Drapery. Edmund (junior) is described as an assistant, but also an imbecile.
Two doors away are the Lingwood family at Grange Farm and nearby are the Barrett family. the father is disabled but the 19 year old daughter is described as a dressmaker.
On the 1891 list of eligible electors, an Edward Goldsbury is named as having a dwelling house in Stowupland, but this maybe be an error and the name should be Edmund?
Edmund Snr is not named in the 1901 census, he died age 81 on 28th March 1901 in Stowupland.
Twenty years later, Edmund, senior, has died and his daughter (age 45) Elizabeth M. is living with her older brother in Saxham Cottage. Elizabeth is a draper’s Warehouse Assistant whilst her brother at 57 is living-on-his-own means.
By now the Cobbilds have moved into Grange farm, and living in Grange (Farm) Cottage is a retired Police constable Joseph Cook and his wife Susannah with their son and daughter and a granddaughter.
Edmund Junior died age 71, on Oct 11th, 1915, and is buried in Combs, Suffolk. he may have moved from Stowupland to Creeting ST mary
