The REYNOLDS Family

The Reynolds family was originally from Leicestershire but they have moved around, presumably looking for work. Absolom, the father, is listed as a farmer in the 1841 census.

Absolom REYNOLDS married Mary (unknown surname) in about 1822 and they had their first child (Catharine) born in Dunton Bassett, Leicestershre in 1824. They had 3 children in Dunton Bassett then moved about 5 miles east to Arnesby, Leicestershire where they had two more children. Then they moved about 10 miles southwest to Willey in Warwickshire and had two more children. Finally they moved about 20 miles northeast to Belton and settled at College Lodge.

Name Born Location
Catharine 1 June 1823 Dunton Bassett, Leic.
Elias 22 January 1826 Dunton Bassett, Leic.
Absolom 30 March 1828 Dunton Bassett, Leic.
Mary 9 May 1830 Arnesby, Leic.
William 21 March 1832 Arnesby, Leic.
George Robert 14 June 1833 Willey, Warwick.
Elizabeth 26 February 1837 Willey, Warwick.

Mary died some time between 1837 and 1841. There is a burial for a Mary REYNOLDS in the Non-Conformist registers for 17 November 1839. By 1841 Absolom and six of his children were living at College Lodge, Belton, adjacent to Lambley Lodge and the GOODLIFFE family.

Absolom died in 1850 and was buried at Belton, Rutland on 17 August 1850.

Six of the children continued to live at College Lodge. Elias, William, Catherine and Elizabeth remained at College Lodge until after the 1891 census. In 1881 they had been joined by Frederick John REYNOLDS, their nephew, then aged 4. Frederick stayed at the farm, eventually taking it over and in the 1911 census was living there with his wife and son.

None of the family stayed on at Jubilee Lodge. In the 1911 census, the Lodge was occupied by Mr Dick BRADLEY, a Yorkshireman, his wife Annie and son Guy, her parents Alfred and Ann Crossley and two farm helpers.


Mary Elizabeth: I cannot find her in the 1911 census. Nor can I find a marriage or death record for Mary.


Annie Maria: was still single in 1911, aged 38 and living with her brother John on a farm at Stannon Thrapton, Kettering. She did not marry and died a spinster on 24 June 1955 at Carlton Hayes Hospital, Narborough, Leicestershire.


George William: married Lucy Lavinia INGRAM in 1905. They had seven children - Oliver Ingram (1906), George William (1909), Leslie (1912, birth not registered) Albert Henry (1915), Leonard (1918), Catharine May and Dennis (1920 - twins). In 1911 George and Lucy were farmers (graziers) at Great Glen, Leicestershire. George died in 1923, aged 49 apparently after falling off a horse.


John Thomas: in 1911 was single and a farm labourer at Stannon Thrapston, Kettering. His sister Annie and his Aunt Ellen Ward (born Lambley Lodge) were also living with him.
