## Biography

Job was born in Frome, a delightful town situated in eastern Somerset. His parents, Mary and William, were a married couple in their late twenties. According to the 1851 Census, Job lived at Waterside Mill in Kilmersdon with his parents and his three younger siblings, Theophilus, Emma, and Matilda. His widowed maternal grandmother, Miriam Matthews, also resided with them. During this time, Job was a school student. However, he later devoted his life to working as a coal miner, as documented on several census forms.

In the 1861 Census, Job continued to live with his parents and younger siblings in Charlton, a charming hamlet within Kilmersdon. Moving forward to the 1871 Census, Job was recorded as living with his first wife, Ann, and their three children — Edwin, Herbert, and George. It is worth noting that this particular census was the only one in which Job and Ann were listed as husband and wife, despite the fact that they had two additional children, namely Mary and Rosina.

After Ann's unfortunate passing, Job went on to marry her younger sister, Jane. The subsequent census records Job and Jane residing at White Post in the village of Chilcompton. In addition to George and Rosina, their household consisted of several children from Job and Jane's marriages, including Arthur, Albert, Margaret, Ernest, and William. The next census, recorded in 1901, lists Job and Jane living on Bowden Hill in Chilcompton. Their three children, Ernest, William, and Walter, also lived at the same address.

As documented in the 1911 Census, Job and Jane lived at 23 Haydon Cottage in the village of Haydon, along with their children William and Margaret and granddaughter Phyllis. The 1921 Census records Job and Jane living alone in Kilmersdon. In the subsequent years, Jane passed away. According to a few newspapers, including the Western Daily Press, Job was the oldest inhabitant of Haydon. The articles state that he passed away on Wednesday 20th April, 1932.
