    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.

    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.

    Children:
  • William Pope, born 1755
  • Ann Pope, bapt. 1760
  • - Pope, born 1775
  • Notes:

    They had at least six children.   Sometime between 1767 and 1770 the family moved from Sandford
    (near Crediton) to Ashburton.   The parents stayed in Ashburton, and were buried in Ashburton
    churchyard.     Of their six children, only three survived to adulthood

    Born: 1755

    Died: 7 Sep 1823, Ashburton, Devon

    Married: Margaret Kingwell

    Children:
  • William Pope, bapt. 1789
  • Father: William Pope

    Mother: Ann Browne

    Notes:

    of Belford Mill, in Ashburton
    William POPE Senior's gravestone in Ashburton Churchyard shows he died on 7th September 1823,
    aged 68 years, less than a month after making his will.    The will was proved on 24 March
    1824, five months before their marriage

    Baptised: 17 Jun 1789, Ashburton Parish Church, Devon 1

    Died: 1 May 1838, Ashburton, Devon

    Buried: 3 May 1838, Ashburton Parish Church, Devon

    Married: 17 Aug 1824, Ashburton Parish Church, Devon, Lydia Smerdon 1

    Children:
  • William Henry Pope, born 1825
  • John Pope, bapt. 1827
  • Thomas Smerdon Pope, born 1828
  • Father: William Pope

    Mother: Margaret Kingwell

    Notes:

    Jan Wood (1/9/11)
    In this Will, William POPE Senior had appointed Robert ABRAHAM (an Ashburton attorney-at-law
    and gent.) as trustee, to ensure that his oldest daughter Mary received £300, and interest,
    out of the rentals from Belford Mill, and that his older son William POPE Junior inherited
    the freehold Mill itself.
    
    He was buried in the same grave as his parents and his brother John, and the inscription referring
    to his death reads as follows:
    Also the remains of William POPE who died 1st May 1828 aged 38 years 
    
    The abstract to the title of Belford Mill states that William POPE, miller died INTESTATE (that
    is without having made a will) 'on or about the --- day of -----1829' (it was actually the
    previous year) having made no appointment under the power given him by his father's Will, and
    thus leaving William Henry POPE, his eldest son, as his heir at law.
    The early death of William POPE and his neglect in making a Will, meant that he made no provision
    for his two younger children, and thus only his eldest son William Henry POPE had any inheritance
    - and he got the whole property, as stipulated in  his grandfather's Will
    
    The POPE family had originally come from Sandford, near Crediton.  Lydia's father-in-law William
    POPE Senior had come with his father and mother from Sandford to Ashburton as a boy or
    a young man.  William POPE Senior was a miller, and purchased Belford Mills in Ashburton parish
    in September 1810.    An abstract of the title of his grandson William Henry POPE to the
    freehold title of  Belford Mill (otherwise known as Higher Lurgecombe Mill), which is now held
    in Devon Record Office,  indicates that William POPE Senior had purchased the mill from Sir
    John Lethbridge of Somerset, the great-nephew and heir at law of the deceased owner, John
    Periam Esquire, for £450.   The mill property, which comprised land, mill and dwelling houses,
    was bounded on the west by the road leading from the town of Ashburton towards Halshanger
    and Ilsington parish, on the east by the River Yeo, on the north by the lands of John Rowe
    BENNETT Esquire,  and on the south by the lands of woollen cloth manufacturers John and Richard
    BERRY, which were eventually bought by John F[abyan] AMERY Esquire, another resident of
    Ashburton parish who attended the Independent Chapel.   The mill, which was originally a water
    grist mill,  stood on land measuring 1acre, 1 rood and 29 perches or thereabouts. 
    Note that a man named Andrew BENNETT had witnessed the wedding of William POPE Junior's aunt,
    Ann POPE, to Richard SMERDON [one of the Buckland in the Moor SMERDONS] in Ashburton in 1784.
