Martin Dadswell's story
Martin Dadswell was the third and youngest son of William and Sophia (Turner) Dadswell. He is believed to have been born in 1831 and was baptised at Tunbridge with the name of Dodswell on 9 Feb 1832.
The 1841 census shows the nine-year-old Martin living at the Kidders Ash, Sussex home of his parent William and Sophia. By age 19, he was an apprentice blacksmith working for his brother-in-law George Verrall at Leech Street, Rotherfield.
In 1858 he married Eliza Hemsley, again under the name of Dodswell, although their four known children carried the Dadswell name. Martin continued at his trade and became a master blacksmith working at Blacksmith House, Boarshead, Sussex.
Eliza died in November 1899 aged about 66, Martin died in 1915 aged 83.
