JAMES FROUD 1820 - 1899

James was the 2nd child of William Froud and Lucy Bennett, he was baptised 10th July 1820 at Hartley Wespall. Soon after the family moved to Heckfield.

James married Eliza Tester on 25th May 1844 at Heckfield. Tom thinks that Eliza's parents were George and Ann Tester.

James and Eliza moved to Priory Lodge, Harrow Weald, where in 1861 James was an Under Gardener domestic servant. In 1871 no occupation was stated on the census. In 1881 James is an Agricultural Labourer, they were still living at Priory Lodge. The 1891 census states they were living in a Cottage with 4 rooms in Harrow Weald, James now aged 70 is a Labourer.

James died aged 78 in 1899. Eliza moved to Box Tree Lane, Harrow Weald where she was living for the 1901 census aged 78. She died aged 85 in 1908.
