Eliza had been married to Timothy for 5 or 6 years.

What about any children of Timothy's marriage to Ann ( or were they childless ?) - is this where the bulk of the money / estate went ?

In 1880, £431 16s 0d would have the same spending worth of today's £20,860.26 { approx US$30,000 or AUS$ 35,000 }

1904 St. White's farm, which comprised 101 a., came into the possession of Thomas Harrison Burdess by his purchase of the moieties held by F. M. Lloyd and Eleanor Phillips. Eleanor's moiety derived from Elizabeth Bradley and in 1865 had been vested in, as trustee for sale under Elizabeth's will, her husband Thomas Adams Phillips (d. c. 1892), (fn. 24) the owner by 1870 of Mousell farm (44 a.). (fn. 25) T. H. Burdess died in 1915 and after his wife Hannah surrendered St. White's farm in 1954 Sir Launcelot Crawley-Boevey sold the freehold to the tenant farmer, Jesse Virgo. (fn. 26) The farmhouse, on the site of the medieval grange, (fn. 27) dated from a rebuilding in the 19th century. In the mid 20th century it was occupied by the Cinderford golf club (fn. 28) and in the later 1980s it contained several dwellings.

Mousell Farm was also known as Mousell Barn farm.

Today its roughly the land to the east of Doubleview Cinderford, coming down the hillside towards Littledean
