In the 1891 Census, Old Joseph Salter 66 (Keith's great, great grandfather from his mother's maternal family) was recorded as working as a Liveryman for the Hornsley Family at Upham House. Joseph was living at Little Stables with his wife Elizabeth W. Salter (also 66, nee Elizabeth Palfrey).
Joseph was recorded as having been born in Ottery St Mary's, Devon (where many Salters are recorded as farmers / farm labourers).
In 1881, Elizabeth (55) born Ottery St Mary, Devon, appears to have been caught temporarily as the Head of Household, at Widler's Lane, Upham, with daughter Mary A. (23), dressmaker, son Robert (21), shepherd, and son Henry (21), agricultural labourer. All the children having been born in Upham, Hampshire.
In the 1841 Census Elizabeth Palfrey was 19 and living with Sarah Denning aged 70 in Mill Street, Ottery St Mary, Devon.
By 1851, Elizabeth had returned home to live with her family - but her future husband (Old) Joseph Salter was a "visitor" in the household. He was then 26. They obviously married the following year - he came a visiting, and marriage ensued! Samuel Palfrey, Elizabeth's father was a farmer of some 26 acres.
The above Joseph Salter's father was Robert Salter, born c 1777. He was married to another Mary (of unknown surname born about 1787). The 1841 Census shows the Salter family living at Raxhayes Farm, near Ottery St Mary.
Robert Salter 64 Farmer
Mary Salter 54
Joseph Salter 16
There are records apparently of an investigation into the probity of the tenancy granted to Robert by another Salter (Roger) on behalf of the Charity Commissioners.
