Neave
Family
|
Aaron Neave was a well known Ludham farmer. His farm house still stands in the middle of the village and is thought to be one of the oldest remaining buildings in Ludham. The farm was later run by the Cooke Family who opened a shop in the farmhouse. The shop is long gone but the location is still known as Cooke's Corner.
Aaron Neave gave the land upon which Ludham Methodist Church now stands. You will notice that it is right behind his house.
It appears that the Neave Family is connected to the very well documented Garrett Family, so a look at the Garrett page may help your search. Pauline French has researched the Neave family tree with help from Liz Draper and this information is below.
There might be a connection with the Durrant family, so see our Durrant page also.
Look out for various spellings of Neave in census and other records.
This is the Neave farmhouse as it now looks. Notice the Methodist Church behind.
Aaron Neave 1822 - 1884
Aaron Neave was the son of Jacob Neave and Ann Vincent. He was born 12th Oct 1822 and baptized on the 17th of Oct 1822 in Barton Turf. He was the 4th child of 12. Aaron lived in Barton Turf until at least 1841.
Aaron married Harriet Whittleton in East Ruston on 30th November 1846. Both were full age. and both fathers were farmers. Aaron was also a farmer in Smallburgh.
Harriet and Aaron had 7 children:
Aaron. Born 27th Nov 1847 in Smallburgh abd died 7th Dec 1847 in Smallburgh, He was buried 12th Dec 1847 in Barton Turf aged 9 days. His death certificate states he died from convulsions which it looks like he had for 7 days.
Anna Elizabeth/Maria. Born 2nd March 1850, baptized 6th March 1850 in Ludham and died 17th March 1850 in Ludham. Buried 22nd March 1850 at Barton Turf aged 6 weeks. She was baptized Anna Maria but buried as Anna Elizabeth and on her death certificate it says she was 15 days old and died of debility. Despite this, we do know that they were the same child as the parents are the same on the birth certificate as on the baptism record and the burial date and death certificate match. The age is wrong but we can now prove that she was 15 days old when she died because of her birth certificate.
Frederick. Baptized 2nd May 1851 in Ludham. Died 1st august 1851 also in Ludham and buried in Barton Turf on the 7th of August 1851 aged 3 months. Cause of death - debility not certified and he was 14 weeks old.

Eliza Jane born 15th August 1864 in Ludham and died 7th August 1954 in Hoveton aged 90.

Aaron and his father Jacob were both farmers in Barton Turf in 1845. Jacob had Berry Hall Farm. However, by the time of his marriage to Harriet in November 1846 Aaron was a farmer of Smallburgh, his 1st child being baptized there in November 1847. When baby Aaron was buried in Barton Turf less than a fortnight later, his residence was given as Smallburgh. By March 1850, Aaron and Harriet were living in Ludham, baptizing a daughter there in that month. All subsequent children were baptized at St Catherine's church in Ludham.
At the time of the 1851 census Aaron was a farmer of 164 acres living at Johnson Street Ludham.

Aaron died 8th June 1884. He had a disease of the kidneys for 5 years and also died of cardiac syncope and hypertrophy. His brother Alfred Neave was the informant on his death certificate. He died in Ludham but was buried in Barton Turf Church Yard on 23rd June 1884.
His wife Harriet seems to be missing on the 1881 census. We know she died on 6th March 1886 in Neatishead. She is buried at Barton Turf. There is a census entry in Heigham Hall Asylum (a private asylum) in the 1881 census which could be Harriet but we cannot be sure as you only see the initials H.N. This person is shown as a 57 year old farmer's wife and a lunatic.She did not die in the asylum. Her death certificate says she died in Neatishead. Her nephew F. Neave was in attendance. She died of fatty degeneration of the heart.
Aaron was quite wealthy and left his estate in trust for his wife and two daughters. Harriet and Eliza Jane also had legacies. the value of his estate for probate was £9380 5s 4d which was a lot of money at that time. In 1873, the rent on Aaron's land was £753 10s 0d.
