Living in Belchamp Walter in 1851 at Puttock End.
The occupation listed in the 1851 census was Agricultural Labourer (Laborer in the terms of those participating in thereevesproject).
The 1891 Census has the Reeves living at multiple dwellings in Belchamp Walter.
The Reeves Family name is one that was common in the village in the 19th Century. They are slso seen residing in other locations in the village of Belchamp Walter in the 1891 Census.
In a similar manner to a lot of other research performed for the history pages on this website the reference to the Reeve Family was found when looking at something reasonably unrelated. The Reeve Family referenced in this case was found in thereevesproject.org website.
The Reeves found here lived at Puttock End in Belchamp Walter and the record is taken from the 1851 Census. The household is for Henry and Clarissa Reeve and family. The location is recorded as Puddock End, I have corrected that to the current (2023) location name.
