Brief Description

William and Joan married at St Neot where they had their 3 daughters baptised between 1742 and 1752. They had moved to Sheviock by 1754 when William is recorded as contributing to the Church Rate that year and the following for a property called Martins and another called Grilles. In 1755 he also received 3 shillings from the Churchwardens at Sheviock for killing 3 otters.

After his death the Churchwarden's Accounts show that his widow had to pay 6s 8d 'for breaking the ground for Mr Lord'.

Their second daughter Joan was the first to marry on 7 Dec 1771. Their eldest daughter Frances had an illegitimate daughter Jane Lord baptised at Sheviock on 31 May 1772. She later married Sampson Trevan in the neighbouring parish of St Germans. They returned to live at Sheviock in about 1781. Their youngest daughter Jane married at Sheviock on 31 May 1772.
