Isaac Inwood and Lucy Puttock ©

Based on information recorded on his death certificate, it is estimated that Isaac was born around 1762, it is also assumed he was born in Surrey.  A baptism of an Isaac, son of Thomas and Mary, baptised in Ewhurst, Surrey on the 27^th December, 1762, has been located¹.  Ewhurst is approximately 2½km West of Abinger, Shere and Ockley, and about 5km west of Cranleigh and 5km south of Dorking.

On the 1^st November, 1791, in the St James Parish Church, Abinger, Isaac married Lucia / Lucy Puttock, by Banns².  Both are said to have been of the Parish, Isaac made his mark, but Lucy signed her name.  The Curate, S Hoole conducted the service and the witnesses were John Puttock, believed to be Lucy’s father, and James Skilton. 

It is thought Isaac’s family were long-time local farmers, possibly land owners, and records show that in 1683 a William Inwood was a High Sheriff of Surrey, although no connection of my family to this William has yet been uncovered.  It is also interesting to note that on maps of the area, just a few short kilometres to the east of Ewhurst, lies Puttocks Wood, possibly the land holdings of Lucy’s ancestors.

Based on information on records held, it is assumed Lucy was born around 1768, also in Surrey.  Lucy Puttock, daughter of John and wife Sarah, of Fetcham, was baptised in St Mary and St Nicholas, the Parish Church Leatherhead, Surrey, on the 9^th April, 1769¹.

Parish records of the area indicate that during their married life Isaac and Lucy moved between Abinger and Ockley in Surrey and they had seven children:  Isaac 1792; John 1793; Charlotte 1795; James 1802, James married first Ann Giles 1824, and secondly Lucy Head 1838; Jemima 1805; Thomas 1808 and Michael 1815.  Abinger is part of a large well-wooded agricultural area that lies in the Mole Valley approximately 12km south-west of Dorking and until the mid-1880s was very much intermixed with the neighbouring villages of Ewhurst, Ockley and Cranleigh.  Recorded in the Domesday Book as Abinceborne held by William de Braiose, the total rendered at that time was £7.

Lucy died in 1835, and she was buried in Cranleigh on the 19^th May³.  She was 68years old, and her burial record indicates she was from Cranley, Newhouse.  Newhouse may have been referring to part of the Hambleton Workhouse, which was situated west of Cranleigh at the south end of Cranleigh Common, or to Newhouse Farm on the outskirts of Cranleigh.  However, it is thought that Isaac and Lucy lived, worked, and possibly Lucy died, at the farm. 

Isaac died on the 12^th December, 1839, also in Cranleigh⁴.  The cause of death was Ascites, which is an accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity often  associated with Liver Cancer.  His death was registered by Sarah Luff, who was present at his death.  Isaac was 77years old, his occupation was given as Farmer and his abode as Cranley Workhouse.  Isaac was buried in Cranley on the 16^th December³.
