Edwin Nock

  Research Notes:

Helen Sasia notes:
EDWIN was born in 1818 in Rowley Regis and became a corn dealer living for a time with his brother Philip. He married fairly late in life at the age of 40, marrying Sarah Jane Bate ( always known as Jane) and they had four children, Elizabeth, Edwin Herbert, Harry Arthur, and Horace Dixon.( who only lived to be two years old)

EDWIN himself had a chequered history having been tried( and happily acquitted) for manslaughter. In 1865 he briefly worked as a coal master with his brother Joseph but after a bad accident at the Witheymore Mine that they co-owned they both were declared bankrupt and he returned to his former occupation as a corn dealer and ultimately also a miller. His second son Harry followed in his footsteps and became a corn merchant too. Edwin lived to be 84
