Distribution of the COTTRELL family
name in 1881Current head (ancestry sought) is William COTTRELL, Mason and his wife Ann JANES, JAMES or GANES who were married in Ashbrittle, Somerset on 20.9.1801 (my 4xGGPs). Son William COTTRELL was also a Mason in the same village. COTTRELL/COTTERELLs are still farming in the area today.
Three sons are known: William COTTRELL (c1802), Richard COTTRELL (c1804) & possibly John COTTRELL (d. <1841?).
William COTTRELL possibly married Mary by 1824. They had at least two sons: George COTTRELL (c1824) & James COTTRELL (c1830). Both parents probably died in the 1840's as both sons were living with uncle Richard COTTRELL and family at Stawley in 1851. George COTTRELL probably married Elizabeth WARREN in 1852. James COTTRELL may have married Ann RAWLE in 1854.
Son Richard COTTRELL (n. c1804 Stawley), Builder, married Edith (n. c1802 of unknown family) in Stowey, Somerset sometime between c1822 and 1833 (my 3xGGPs). Richard COTTRELL was a Mason & Innkeeper in 1851 at the Globe Inn, Appley/Stawley. In 1851 he sold the Globe Inn to a man named HAWKINS. The area was 1 rod, 18 poles, with an orchard of 2 rods, 30 poles, totaling 1 sq. acre, 8 poles valued at 4 shillings and 8 pence.

They had the following children surviving in 1851: Charles COTTRELL (c1832), Lavinia COTTRELL (c1834), Emma COTTRELL (c1837), Elizabeth COTTRELL (c1839), Alfred COTTRELL (c1842) & Frederick COTTRELL (c1846).
Daughter Emma COTTRELL (n. c1837 Appley/Stawley, Somerset, pre GR) married William Walter or Walter William LANE 31.12.1855 at Taunton (my 2xGGPs).
Three monument inscriptions in Ashbrittle churchyard read:
"In loving memory of Anne COTTRELL who died March
26th 1863 aged 20 years,
Also James, husband of the above died July 14th 1887 aged 44"
[James n. c1843 - parents unknown; marriage unknown ~1863. He was a Builder

[parents not known]
"In memory of Henry COTTRELL who died June 14th
1868 aged 23 years"

Three monument inscriptions in Stawley churchyard read:
"In loving memory William George Warren COTTRELL"
[son of couple below]

[Elizabeth WARREN above]
"Mary COTTRELL d. 20.6.1858 (36) & William d. 29.10.1847 (45). George d. (date unreadable)" [would appear to be part of family tree].
