The 1841 census records that William was an agricultural labourer and he and his young wife and son were living at Ceaslet House, Mottings Hill near Rotherfield.

The 1851 census records that Maria was head of the household and it is believed that William may have been in prison at the time or deserted his family (there is a gap of 4 years between the birth of his 5th and 6th children). Maria is recorded as a pauper and an agricultural labourer and she, five of her children and her elderly mother were living at Hamsell Bridge, Rotherfield.

The 1861 census records that William was an agricultural labourer and he and his wife and five of their children were living at Leechpit, Rotherfield. Mary’s very elderly mother was still living with them. The 1871 census records that William was an agricultural labourer and he and his wife and four of their children were living in a cottage near the Park Corner Inn, Rotherham.

During the 1870’s William was awarded 5th prize in the best managed cottage garden section of the Tunbridge Wells Horticultural Society’s annual competition. The 1881 census records that William was a general labourer and he and his wife and three of their grandchildren (10 year old Louisa Allcorn, 8 year old George Allcorn and 7 year old Myra Swift Rushman were living at Birchden, Groombridge. It is believed that William was working in the kitchen garden at Eridge Castle at the time.

William suffered from pleurisy in later life and this required that his lungs were drained of fluid from time to time. This together with a weak heart caused his death at Birchden on 30th January 1888 (Uckfield 1888 March qtr Volume 2b Page 83) aged 70 years. He was buried at Eridge Green on 4th February 1888.

Maria had a stroke in about 1880 which left her paralysed until her death. The 1891 census records that Maria and her two grandchildren (George and Louisa Allcorn) were living with her daughter and son in law (Emily and David Bassett) at Birchden, Rotherfield.
