    Jan Wood says
    he married his second cousin [through the POPE family - not the SMERDON family -  her grandmother
    Ann SMERDON had been a POPE before marriage to one of my SMERDON gt. uncles (Richard SMERDON,
    born Elliotts Hill, farmed in Ashburton).  
    ], a Smerdon from my own Smerdon line - i.e. a girl descended from the Elliots Hill line, whose
    grandfather had moved to Ashburton.
    a butcher in Ashburton and East London
    Many of his descendants ended up within one or two generations as poor working class residents
    of Poplar and the London docks area, working in factories and beerhouses, and on the docks
    as labourers

    Married: 28 Aug 1849, Ashburton Parish Church, Devon, John Pope 7, 8

    They may have married in the parish church, but they attended the Independent Chapel in Ashburton,
    and had their three oldest children baptised there

    Children:
  • John Smerdon Pope, born 1849
  • William Pope, born 1851
  • Lydia Jane Pope, born 1860
  • Eliza Ann Pope, born 1860
  • William Henry Pope, born 1865
  • William Henry Pope, born 1867
  • Thomas Smerdon Pope, born 1870
  • Father: Richard Smerdon Smerdon

    Mother: Jane Murch

    Notes:

    Jan Wood says
    She only had one sister - a girl named Sarah Murch SMERDON -  as when they were small, their
    father [Richard SMERDON Junior] deserted his wife Jane &  family and disappeared to Australia.
    
    In any event, his deserted wife moved in with her widowed brother in law John SMERDON and his
    children, and as often happened in these situations they "hooked up" and had two more small
    illegitimate daughters together!   They never married, as she was still married to her errant
    husband.   But also John SMERDON'S dead wife had been Jane's sister!!  and marriage laws did
    not allow a man to marry his dead wife's sister.
    The family moved up to London in the late 1850s.
    They did not move up there alone, as Susanna's sister Sarah Murch Smerdon, who had married an
    Easterbrook in Ashburton, and also attended the Independent Chapel, also moved up to London
    with her husband and family.  Their mother also went with them as their uncle/defacto stepfather
    John Smerdon, the butcher and innkeeper, had died by then.
     In 1861 the 2 couples - the sisters and their POPE and EASTERBROOK husbands -  lived in the
    same building, or next door to each other in Poplar.    John POPE was a factory worker to begin
    with - he eventually became a beerhouse keeper in Mill Wall and died of liver disease in
    his 40s  - perhaps he had spent his time drinking the profits!    He and his wife Susanna Murch
    POPE nee SMERDON had had seven children that we know of, by then.

  • Susanna Murch Smerdon, bapt. 1824
  • Notes:

    daughter of RICHARD MURCH an innkeeper
    Jane, the deserted wife, moved in with her widowed brother in law John SMERDON and his children,
    and as often happened in these situations they "hooked up" and had two more small illegitimate
    daughters together!   They never married, as she was still married to her errant husband.
      But also John SMERDON'S dead wife had been Jane's sister!!  and marriage laws did not allow
    a man to marry his dead wife's sister.
    
    There is a John SmArden
    chr 13 Mar 1793  Ashburton, Devon, England with parents Richard & Anne SmArden (C050201)
    
    I think she was staying with Susanna in the 1871 census - see that entry

    Notes:

    Later one of the Easterbrook nieces who had worked in this beerhouse married her Pope first cousin,
    thus ensuring that the inbreeding continued!  This is the couple in the 1881 census
    - John Smerdon Pope Junior and Mary Jane nee Easterbrook.  
    They had eight children, but four of those died as babies or children.    Six of their children
    carried the middle name Smerdon.

    in a 3 roomed house in Millwall.  James (brother), George, James & Sarah Priscilla Easertbrooks.
    
    Things improved for these families once they got out of the East End after WW 2.

    1871 census
    A couple of doors away, at 5 Tooke Street, lived William GASKIN, who like John POPE, was a labourer
    at the chemical works, with his wife Jane and their six children including William Thomas
    GASKIN.  The GASKINS were East London-born, and all of the children had been born in Poplar.
     So Lydia and her husband must have met as children.

    no BMDs  fit
    Note Debbie Cook is a descendant of the Gaskins, and she bought the marriage certificate of Lydia
    and William Thomas Gaskin.   William was a dock labourer and a stationary engine driver,
     but by the time his wife died he was a newsagent and the Gaskins seem to have gradually moved
    up in the world over the next few generations.  They had 5 children, but two of their children
    died young.
