CommentsCop Lippett, Cheddar published by Les Martels - 8 years 6 months 21 days ago. | | My 3 x great grandparents lived in Cop Lippett, Cheddar and that is the address for 1841, 1851, 1861. 1871, 1891 but 1881 it was 6 The Lippetts, 1901 it was Lippiatt and 1911 it was The Lippett. No mention of Top Lippiatt for my family's address. It may have changed as indicated by the later census returns. I wonder why street names are changed. I rather like the charm of Cop Lippett as there must have been a reason why it was called that in the first place.

Freda SCHOFIELD - b 1916 published by Pat Hase - 8 years 6 months 21 days ago. | | Looking again at your query - at the moment I don't know of an Albert Terrace in Axbridge itself - is that the whole address given on the birth certificate? Was the informant, presumably her mother, living at the same address?

Harry Schofield published by jacobsrepton - 8 years 6 months 21 days ago. | | There are 4 death records consistent with a 1876 birth for Harry Schofield. One that might fit with children going into care is in 1915: Harry Schofield, age 39, d 1915 Worcester (Q2 1915 Worcester 6c 140).
This would mean that Freda Louise was conceived after Harry had died. This might account for Emma moving away from the Midlands to Axbridge for the birth.

SCHOFIELD - Axbridge c 1916 published by Pat Hase - 8 years 6 months 22 days ago. | | It looks as if Freda Louise SCHOFIELD was the only child of that family to be born in Axbridge - was she the youngest child?
You may already have this - but as there is a marriage between a Harry SCHOFIELD and an Emma DOWNES registered in the Walsall District in 1902 and the 1911 census shows 5 children - there are further births of a Robert Victor SCHOFIELD in 1912 and a Kathleen SCHOFIELD in 1915 registered in the Walsall district - both with mother's maiden name of DOWNES and of course Freda in 1916. Making a possible 8 children in all.
On the 1939 Register I can see that Emma SCHOFIELD, described as a widow was living in Gedney, Holbeach, Lincolnshire - she was a Cafe Proprietress and had her eldest daughter, Maud, living with her.
In 1939 Freda is living in Wolverhampton with a family called ECCLESHALL - was that the family who took her in? You may be able to find others of the SCHOFIELD family on the 1939 Register - available on Findmypast - their relations may know what happened to Harry and whether they went into a home or Workhouse.
If you think they went into a home while they were in Somerset - the Records for Axbridge Workhouse for the 20th century are in the Somerset Heritage Centre at Taunton and are complete for that period.

Cop Lippett, Cheddar published by - 8 years 6 months 22 days ago. | | Hi Karen,
The place you refer to is The Lippiatt, Cheddar and Lippiatt Lane, Cheddar. This is an area of Cheddar and it appears that the Census Records should read 'TOP LIPPIATT'In 1871 the person making the record just referred to the area ie 'Top Lippiatt' meaning at the top of the Lippiatt as there was probably no house names. You should be able to locate the area quite easily on a map of Cheddar.
Cheers,
Arthur REDMAN | |
COP LIPPETT CHEDDAR SOMERSET published by - 8 years 6 months 23 days ago. | | Hello Karen
Having looked at the 1871 census for Cop Lippett, I see that either side of this location are the list of residents in The Lynch, Bradley Cross and The Batch, Draycott.
Using the modern digital map system for Somerset[ ie Know Your Place], link
http://maps.bristol.gov.uk/kyp/?edition=banes
Locate Lippiatt and Bradley Cross and somewhere between could be Cop Lippett. The new maps show a modern map over a previous Ordnance Survey map.
Hope this helps
