Made with Xara

On October 30th. 1821 he  married Ann Down in the  parish church of St. Mary in  High Bickington. There they  had four children, Susanna in  1822, Caroline in 1825, John  in 1826 and James in 1828. 

John had inherited from his grandfather and had watched his cousin Joseph, become a  wealthy man. Joseph lived in Swansea and had acquired the business and properties built up  by his father Philip. (Refer to their history files for details). John was perhaps blind to this and  just saw that there was money to be made and that he could also do it. With Joseph’s help he  moved his family to Swansea around 1830, probably using his inheritance.   John and Ann had another four children; Joseph 1831, Ann 1834, Harriet 1836 and John  1840. John (1826) died in High Bickington whilst Caroline, Harriet and John (1840) died in  Swansea. Joseph never married so only John’s son, James would keep the family’s name alive. 

John Andrew was  baptised 21st. March 1792 in  the small village of Alwington.  When his father died the  family moved to Atherington  and lived with his uncle,  James Andrew. James was a  maltster and must have  influenced John because he  too took up the profession.
