Edward and Amelia Appleby of Layer de la Haye, Essex

We know that Edward married Amelia Hales in Layer de la Haye in 1801, but as yet we have not discovered where he came from. In several censuses, members of this family were living close by members of James and Sarah Norman's line and also members of the Wigborough line of Applebys. Sometimes their surname was spelled APPELBY.

The families of all four of Edward and Amelia's known sons remained living in Layer de la Haye, where they worked on the land. Surprisingly, when I looked for each family in the censuses of 1841 - 1911, it looks as if the families of three of the sons dsappeared after around 1861 or 1871. Did they emigrate, or did their children die young?

However, one of Edward's grandsons, John who was a shoemaker and later a greengrocer, married Lucy Lee in 1884 in Brightlingsea and they had seven children - all of whom were still living at the time of the 1911 census (though I have been unable to find two of them and think they may have been in the army serving overseas).
