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.

The Family of George and Annie

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.
