Charles Dadswell's story
Charles Dadswell was the youngest of the 10 children of James and Charlotte (Ovenden) Dadswell. He was born in March 1834 and baptised at Mayfield, Sussex on 3 July 1842.
In his early life, Charles worked as a servant at 'Rooks', Rotherfield, and as an farm labourer. By the 1860s he was a coach driver and family folklore has it that he drove the last horse-drawn postal coach from London to Brighton in the 1880s.
On 17 January 1853, aged 18, he married Ann Card, daughter of James and Ann Card, at the Ebenezer Chapel at Ramsgate, Kent. Just prior to her marriage, Ann was working as a servant cook at Rotherfield. The couple had five children.
Initially the family lived at Brighton but in 1881 they were at Stoneleigh Lodge, East Grinstead. Following the death of Ann in 1882, Charles lived with his daughter Elizabeth at Horsham, later with his son William in Brighton and in the 1911 census is shown living with his married daughter Adrianne Card at Horsham. Charles died at Brighton on 29 August 1917 at the age of 84.
His will, dated 1 August 1917, was proved at Chichester, Sussex on 1 November 1917. It appointed his son William executor of his estate.
