Early Life
The 1841 Census lists Cloudesley, then 6 years old, living with his parents and siblings at Merton College, University of Oxford, Oxfordshire, England.[5] The same happens with the 1851 Census, except that Cloudesley was 16 years old then.[6]
Education and the Church
Cloudesley enrolled at Merton College, University of Oxford, England, in 1853, aged 18, and received his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1857. He also received a Master of Arts in 1860 at the University of Oxford, England.[7] Cloudesley became rector of Edgcott in 1861, where he remained until 1868. The 1861 Census listed him as D. Marsham, 26 years old, rector of Edgcott, Buckinghamshire, England. However he was listed as resident in Caversfield, about seven miles away from Edgcott, where he seemed to be living with his parents and possibly 9 servants.[8] In 1868 he became vicar of Stoke Lyne, Oxfordshire, England. However, in the 1871 Census Cloudesley, then 36 years old, was still listed as living with his parents in Caversfield, Oxfordshire.[9] And in the 1881 Census he was listed, already married, living in
Stoke-Lyne, Oxfordshire, England and as the vicar of Stoke Lyne And Caversfield.[10] In 1888 Cloudesley became rector of Harrietsham, Kent, England.[11] The 1891 Census listed Cloudesley as head of his own household living with his wife in Harrietsham, Kent, England. He was listed then as a "Clerk in Holy Orders".[12] In the 1911 Census Cloudesley was listed as a clergyman and still residing in Harrietsham, Kent, England. He was listed then with his second wife, Edith, and four servants.[13]
