Where They Lived

Frances TAPPERN (or TAPPIN) was the daughter of Charles and Charlotte TAPPERN. I believe she may have been a cousin of Mary TAPPERN who married Edward's brother William.

At the time of the 1841 Census, Edward and Frances were living a few doors away from to William and family, and in close proximity to Richard and Rachel, and James and Charlotte. In 1861, they were still living in Checkendon with Ellen, Edward, Charlotte and James. In 1871, only Ellen and James were still at home. By the time of the 1881 Census, Frances was widowed, living at a house called "Lovegroves" in Checkendon, with son James, the Blacksmith.
