    • Occupation: 1891-1911; Stud groom

    Notes:

    Not found on 1881 census, however there is a James Nunn born Chevington (not Chedburgh) on both the 1891 and 1901 census and that appears to be him. He named one of his daughters Elizabeth Drake Nunn, which strongly indicates this is the same James Nunn. Other children in Wm Nunn and Elizabeth Drake Rolfe's family were born Chedburgh and baptised at Chevington. Chevington and Chedburgh are so close that the place names are often interchanged.
