Biography

John AMOS was allegedly the son of Solomon Amos (born abt 1746 in Iron Acton) and Elizabeth Mills. They were apparently married in Chipping Camden around 1771 and also had Gabriel (1772), Mary (1777), Mary (1780) and William (1788) all born in Iron Acton. [1]

John AMOS was born in 1775 in Iron Acton, Gloucestershire, England, was christened on 13 August 1775 in St James the Less Church of England, Iron Acton, Gloucestershire, England [2], died in December 1856 in Iron Acton, Gloucestershire, England, United Kingdom [3] at age 81, and was buried on 14 December 1856 in St James the Less Churchyard, Iron Acton, Gloucestershire, England, United Kingdom [4] [5] [6].

There are three records for John's wedding to Rachael. Two suggest the wedding took place on 4 February 1800 in Yates and one on 2nd February 1800 in Frampton Cotterell. Two out of three spell her name as Rachael, and one as Rachell. [7] [8] [9]

They had three known children, but likely many more:

In the 1841 census, John and Rachel were living in Iron Acton with George Amos (30-35yrs), Elizabeth Amos (25-29yrs) and John Reese (6yrs). John and Rachel were both listed as being between 60-65yrs old.[11]

A record for the burial of Rachel Amos can be found for 18 June 1843 at St James the Less in Iron Acton, Gloucestershire, England [12]

John was listed in the 1851 census as a widower, confirming Rachel died prior to this date. His occupation was a pauper hatter and he was living with his son George Amos (40yr old, unmarried agricultural labourer) and his grandson John Amos (15yr old agricultural labourer). The census listed his birthplace as Iron Acton. [13]
