1. William OWERS was born about 1787 in Great Leighs, Essex. This date of birth has been estimated from the Death Certificate. There are discrepancies between every Census and the best estimate has been taken from the primary evidence given on the Death Certificate. Equally, his place of birth is not consistent in the Censuses. Between 1841 and 1861 he was an Agricultural Labourer in Black Notley, Essex. In 1861 he was a Farm Labourer now pauper in Black Notley, Essex. He died of apoplexy (5 years) on 14 Apr 1863 in Bakers Lane, Black Notley, Essex. He was buried on 20 Apr 1863 in St Peter and St Paul, Black Notley, Essex.

William OWERS and Sarah BLOOMFIELD were married on 23 Dec 1816 in Black Notley, Essex. They lived in Rowe Green, Black Notley, Essex between 1841 and 1850. They lived in London Road, Black Notley, Essex between 1851 and 1860. They lived in Baker's Lane, Black Notley, Essex between 1861 and 1863. Sarah BLOOMFIELD was born about 1794 in Braintree, Essex. There is a discrepancy in the date of her birth between the Censuses and so the primary evidence from her death certificate has been taken. Her name may have been Broomfield. Between 1851 and 1861 she was a Laundress in Black Notley, Essex. She lived in Baker's Lane, Black Notley, Essex between 1863 and 1870. She died of an affection of the brain (6 months) on 14 Nov 1870 in Baker's Lane, Black Notley, Essex. She was buried on 20 Nov 1870 in St Peter and St Paul, Black Notley, Essex.
