| Thomas Tailby was a son of Joseph Tailby of Desborough, who farmed at Brigstock before coming to Rushden where his half-brother George was farming. There Joseph had at least two children; Thomas born 1837 and Eliza born 1839.
Thomas married Annie (nee Hall) in 1865, and a daughter, Mary Ellen was born here in 1870. At that time Thomas had one man and a boy working on the farm, and there were two house servants. Thomas was recorded as a widower in 1881 and had probably waited until after the harvest to hold the sale. The farm is recorded in the census as Tailby's Lodge. Thomas moved to Wellingborough Road and was a dairyman, and George took over the farm together with his sand and gravel business. see also Tailby grocery business. |
