Person:Elizabeth Reynolds (73)

Elizabeth Reynolds was baptised on 22nd October 1820 in the parish of St Nicholas in Warwick. She was the youngest daughter of Elizabeth Reynolds, formerly Dyke, and her husband Thomas Knowles Reynolds, a labourer. The family lived at Coten End, part of the main road out of the town to the east.

On 3rd September 1839, aged eighteen, Elizabeth married William Bastock, a plasterer. They married at St Mary’s church in Warwick. He was several years older than her, being 32 when they married. Elizabeth’s older sister Harriet had married William’s younger brother John in 1834.

Elizabeth and William went on to have twelve children in Warwick between 1840 and 1866, although one died when just over a year old in 1855. The family lived on Saltisford, the main street leading out of Warwick to the north-west. The 1841 and 1851 censuses both find the family living at Commercial Buildings on Saltisford.

Elizabeth’s father died in February 1863. Her mother died just five months later in July 1863.

The 1871 census finds Elizabeth and William living at 14 West Rock (also labelled on contemporary maps as ‘Saltisford Rock’) which was at the southern end of Saltisford, linking Market Hill and Theatre Street to the main part of Saltisford. The roads in the area have been remodelled and renamed since, such that West Rock now forms part of Theatre Street.

Elizabeth would live at 14 West Rock for the rest of her life. The 1881 census describes her as a laundress.

Elizabeth died at home at 14 West Rock on 29th August 1883, aged 62. William survived her by five years.
