John and Lydia Farrant (nee Reed) of Devon and later Bristol
Home
JOHN FARRANT
baptised 17th October 1802 at Colaton Raleigh, Devon; died possibly Honiton,
Devon 1857? and before 1861. He was the son of JAMES
FARRANT
and JANE
FARRANT (nee TUCK). He married LYDIA REED 24th March
1829 at Venn Ottery, Devon. Daughter
of UNKNOWN
REED
and UNKNOWN
REED (nee UNKNOWN) some time of Upottery, Devon. I cannpt find
a baptism for Lydia Reed so have no idea who her parents are. Is she from the
Reed family that has lived in Upottery for many years?
About 30 years ago I visited
Upottery and passed a very old man who looked a bit like a Taylor. I wish I
had asked him about the Reeds because most likely he would have known the family!

LYDIA
REED, born abt 1801 in Upottery, Devon. She was the daughter of UNKNOWN
REED and UNKNOWN
REED (nee UNKNOWN) soemtime of Upottery, Devon. No sign
of her baptism in Upottery, Devon. There are a few Reed families who are farmers
in Upottery, to the present day who may be related. In 1861 Lydia seems to be
running her own Grocers buisness perhaps on the Hotwell Road at Woodwell Crescent
. Some of these buildings are still shops today. Lydia died in 1888 probably
in Bellvue Crescent, Cliftonwood, Bristol.
John Farrant a Venn Ottery Bachelor and
Lydia Reed a Venn Ottery Spinster were married in this chuch by Banns
with consent of--------------------------- this twenty fourth Day of March in
the year One Thousand eight hundred and twenty nine By me ? illegible Tucker?
This marriage was solemnized between us John Farrant and X the mark of Lydia
Reed in the presence of * William Farrant and Sarah Farrant -------------
William is I believe a brother of John Farrant, not sure
who Sarah Farrant is. Why is Lydia a Venn Ottery spinster?

No
idea why they all give their birthplace as Sidbury, Devon on this census. It
isn't true!
Lydia's daughter my gt, gt grandmother Elizabeth Farrant was living at Weston,
Somerset. As was her soon to be husband Joseph Taylor.
Elizabeth was pregnant with their
