**Jacob's Occupations** :

1813 - ? : Brush Maker (when William was married in 1843, his father's occupation was given as Brush maker)
**Notes**:
Most of the children were christened soon after birth, however the following facts seem rather strange:
John Lecour christened on 31/8/1910, was born of Sarah (deceased) on 2/10/1800. He was christened aged almost 10 !
This means he was born only 1 year after the 1st John... who perhaps died in his first year ?
Sarah is thus assumed to have died sometime between 1804 and 1810.
