• Notes

  CARDINGTON BEDFORDSHIRE Cardington, a little English village that had 260 houses in 1830, is three miles south-east of Bedford. The village stands on an affluent of the river Ouse. It is here that Joseph was born in 1800 to Thomas and Edith (nee Hillyard) Thorowgood (as it was first spelt). With the railway having a station there and the fine soil for farming it was not surprising that Joseph became a ploughman. Agricultural labourer was the main occupation in the early 1800s. Oats and wheat dominated the crops
