Thomas Avery baptised 1807, Barnstaple
Thomas Avery was born in 1807 in
Barnstaple to Berry and Grace Avery. He
was an inn keeper by trade. In 1831 in High
Bickington he married Harriet Andrew, the
daughter of James Andrew and Elizabeth
Andrew. Elizabeth was the wife of William
Andrew (1763) but moved in with James
when William died. She was also the mother
of our John Andrew above, so Harriet and
John were half siblings.
Thomas and Harriet had three sons, all
born in Tawstock. They were James Andrew
Avery born 1834, Thomas Avery born 1835
and Joshua Avery born 1837. By 1844,
Thomas Avery was at the Angel Inn, Quay,
Barnstaple and was recorded there in the
1851 and 1861 censuses. In 1861, he was
visited by our John Andrew’s daughter
Susanna, John’s granddaughter Emily
Bennallack and Charles Shimell – Joseph
Andrew’s son. In 1862 he was declared
bankrupt and spent a short time in Exeter
Gaol. Following his release he went to stay
with his brother Berry in Braunton and set
himself up again as an inn keeper.

He became bankrupt again in 1864 and
moved to Swansea (perhaps to avoid being
re-arrested?) where he lodged with his niece
Susanna Andrew – the same Susanna that
visited him in 1861. She was a grocer. He
died in 1878 with Enoch Adams present at
the death.
Thomas and Harriet’s children: James
Andrew Avery became an accountant and
emigrated to Buenos Aires in Argentina.
Joshua Avery married Catherine Elizabeth
Andrew in Swansea in 1860. She was the
daughter of Joseph Andrew and a sister to
Charles Shimell Andrew. They moved to
Exeter after the wedding.
