More Harveys - in this case, Jacob and Esther (née Deaves) who were married in 1859. Esther was born in Wattisham, the daughter of Thomas Deaves, and she lived on until 1925. She bore nine children to Jacob between 1861 and 1886.

Ellen became a housemaid in the large family home of farmer and merchant William Squirrell, of Prospect House, Nedging.

Jacob, a farmworker, was the son of Jacob Harvey and Susannah (née Lister), and lived from 1832 to 1895. His son Daniel Reuben Felix Harvey, who married Isabella Bigg in 1908, was the grandfather of Tom and Ted Harvey, who now live in Cakebridge Lane.

 ... and more Bartons. James and Eliza had much in common with their Harvey neighbours - both of local stock over several generations, simple farmworking families, born in the 1830s and married in the 1850s. James Barton (1830-1898) was the son of James and Elizabeth Barton, nephew of John, Edward and Letitia, and cousin of Rachel Harvey. In 1851, he married Eliza Cutter, born in Kersey in 1833, the daughter of John Cutter.

Eliza and James had five children, of whom one - 2-year-old George - died in April 1870. Two other children had already died in infancy. Their son John left Chelsworth and by 1881 was a coachman living in Willesden.
