London
- Dinton
I am researching Robert Rickard born Dinton 1809 and married to Ann Stevens born Aston Rowant 1829. In 1851 They were living with their 7 children at 135 Spring Hill, Dinton. I notice on the old map there is a Spring Hill Farm. As a farm labourer would this be as cottage on the farm? Does this still exist? On the 1861 census he has moved to the cotton town of Preston in Lancashire. I would like to know why the move from farming to weaving? Hope someone out there can shed light on these questions.
