James Henry MALLETT
Abt 1871 --
Name James Henry MALLETT Birth Abt Dec 1871 Frithelstock, Devon, England [1, 2] - James is 9 in 1881 (1872), 18 in 1891 (1873), and 28 in 1901 (1873). All date are close to the civil registration date, so we'll go with that because it's more accurate.
Gender Male Census 3 Apr 1881 Cloister Farm, Frithelstock, Devon, England [3] - James was described as a "Farmer of 450 acres employing 7 men and 2 boys". James's older brother John was living with them, unmarried, occupation Iron Monger.
Occupation 4 Apr 1881 [4] Scholar Census 5 Apr 1891 Cloister Hall, Frithelstock, Devon, England [5] - Cloister hall is very likely the "estate of 1000 acres" described by Edith McCracken. She visited England before she was married in 1895, and "found a James living on the farm". According to the history of Frithelstock Priory, the manor was "about 1000 acres of which the monks farmed 500". The priory was taken from the church in the time of Henry the VIII, and was held by tenant farmers from that time until 1957, when it was sold, along with many other farms in the area by the Clinton Estate.
Census 1 Apr 1901 Cloister, Frithelstock, Devon, England [2] - All of the surviving children were still living at home in 1901 except for Mary, who by that time had married John Brent Reed and had a family of her own. Caroline was the oldest at 35, James the youngest at 28. Each of them worked on their father's farm in some capacity. James no longer had any Ag Labs, but the family still had one domestic servant.
Census 2 Apr 1911 South Farm, Budleigh Salterton, Otterton, Devon, England [6] - James is described as a "Dairyman", and employs one "Cowman". His son Stanley is just a few months old.
