Note on Husband: John MADGE (1)

In 1881 John was a boarder in Mill Street with maiden aunts Mary Ann Madge, Eliza Madge, and Thirza Madge at Mill Street, Crediton. With him from Liverpool was 26 year old half-brother, Silvanus Madge, Carpenter. They were in the house of Thomas Marles, also a carpenter.

In 1891 John was working as a butcher's assistant for butcher John Hellier at Snake Ash, Newton St Cyres. His place of birth was recorded as Crediton, though it was Liverpool. He has been brought up in Crediton by his aunts.

In 1901 John and Ellen were living at 7 Beltran Road off Wandsworth Bridge Road in South Fulham, London. They had a 22 year old lodger, Irish labourer Michael Nihill.

At the time of Edith's birth the family were living at Mill Street, Crediton, where John was a Master Butcher

In 1911 they had moved to Bath - to 15 Camden Cottage, Hedgemead. John and Ellen were with Evelyn, Edith and Dorothy. John is a butcher journeyman. They returned to Mill Street, Crediton12

Note on Husband: John MADGE (2)

In October 1920 John was a victim of the wartime bureaucracy, when he was fined 10s with 1 guinea costs, for selling imported meat that was not labelled as being foreign. He claimed that having not been open during the war years, his wife, who was standing in for him at the shop, whilst he was away, was unfamiliar with the regulations. Seven Crediton traders had fallen foul of the Food Orders and appeared at the same court hearing that day.

Note on Wife: Ellen REDDY

In 1891 Ellen is Housemaid for 65 year old Miss Ann Saul at 21 Cathcart Place, Brompton, South Kensington.13
