Children
Anne Tomlinson 1821
William Tomlinson 1823 1829
Thomas Tomlinson 1827 1848
Harriet Tomlinson 1831
Jesse Tomlinson 1833 1894
David Tomlinson 1837
Joseph Tomlinson 1840
William Tomlinson 1843 1930 (Married Louisa Hall)
Judith & Thomas lived at Wickhamford for the rest of their lives. Thomas was a labourer. Judiths brother Joseph also lived with them until his death. They were tenants of Lord Sandys and had a cottage with a garden. There is a mistake in the parish register on the baptism of Joseph. It is entered as William in error. It is also confusing as William was not baptised until he was three either. I think that they worked for John Nind, as he was the tenant who lived at the Manor House in Wickhamford. After John Nind died his widow went to live at Beckford and Jesse Tomlinson went there to work. Harriet worked firstly as a gloveress and then a dressmaker. She is still unmarried and working on the 1901 Census but living in Evesham. Joseph Tomlinson married Jane (maybe in Aston) and returned to Badsey and had two children baptised there before moving to Edgebaston.
Thomas Tomlinson died on 17.7.1873 and was buried at Wickhamford on 21.7.1873 aged 74.
Judith was buried at Wickhamford on 1.12.1888 aged 87.
THOMAS HALL was baptised at Dumbleton, Gloucestershire on 17.8.1817
He married MARTHA MILLER at Lenchwick, Worcestershire on 22.7.1838.
Martha Miller was born about 1814 in Poynington, Somerset. Her parents were Abraham & Jane Miller, her father was a labourer. (Martha has a daughter, Eliza, when she was 19 and still in Poynington). They lived at Dumbleton, Aston Sommerville and then Badsey. Thomas Hall was a shoemaker. Martha was a gloveress.

Elizabeth Frances Hall 1843 Ashton Sommerville
Theodore James Hall 1846 1923 Badsey
Rachel Whitfield Hall 1848 Badsey (Named after her Aunt Rachel who married Samuel Whitfield at Dumbleton on 1.5.1848)
Owen Joseph Hall 1849 1899 Badsey
Thomas Hall 1852 1852 Badsey
Martha was buried at Badsey on 17.7.1852. Their son, Thomas, was baptised on the day after her burial.
I think Thomas Hall died in the September Quarter 1907 aged 91 in the Evesham District but havent done anything about this as yet.
Generation 6.
WILLIAM TOMLINSON
Born 16.3.1843 at Wickhamford.
Married Louisa Hall at Badsey on 20.11.1864
Louisa Hall was born on 14.12.1840 at Dumbleton, the daughter of Thomas & Elizabeth Hall. She was also known as Lucy.
Children
Anne Elizabeth Tomlinson born 6.10.1867 at Shenstone, Staffordshire.

Arthur Jesse Tomlinson born 3.12.1878 at Hallow, Worcestershire.
Florence Annie Tomlinson born 19.8.1882 at Hallow, Worcestershire.
Bertie James Tomlinson born 4.1.1886 at Foxton, Leicestershire.
William worked as a groom and gardener until the move to Hallow when he was a labourer. In about 1884 they moved to Foxton, Leicestershire when William started working as a stoker at the gas works in Market Harborough. About 1888 they moved to Great Bowden and remained there. This was more convenient as the Gas Works were just along the road from their home. We had birth certificates for the children as the first was baptised at Shenstone. Six more were baptised at Foxton on the same day. Bertie who was born there does not seem to have been baptised there though. Harriet never seemed to have been baptised either anywhere. Edith Ellen did get baptised at hallow and again at Foxton.
After William retired from the Gas Works he tended the churchyard.
William Tomlinson died on 14.11.1930 at Great Bowden and is buried in the cemetery there.
Louisa died on 24.3.1933 and is buried next to her husband.

David Tomlinson lived at Great Bowden, Leicestershire until about 1936. He was a groom for John Henry Stokes who was a famous horse dealer and breeder. After John Henry Stokes died David worked as a gardener for his widow. The he moved to Lubenham, Leicestershire and worked as a stud groom for Rev. Graham Dilley (the hunting parson). Then he retired and moved back into Great Bowden. He also looked after the churchyard.
David died on 30.12.18963 at Market Harborough Cottage Hospital.
Emily died on 22.7.1959 at Oakham Cottage Hospital.
They are also both buried at Great Bowden Cemetery.
I hope that I have got most of this right. I had a trip to Gloucester Records Office this July to look at Dumbleton Parish Records. They only start in 1758, as the rest were lost. There are bits of Bishops Transcripts.
I have had two trips to Worcester (2001 & 2002) to look at Wickhamford Records and copied lots of things from Badsey. I went on a Worcester Shopping Trip so only got about 4 hours each time.
I have looked at The Badsey site and the IGI for a lot of the rest.
