In 1851 Edith was living with her husband Joseph at Ashmore Green, Thatcham, Berkshire. She was 70 years old. With them were their grand-daughters Maria Pocock (20) and Ann Pocock (7).
On the night of 7 April 1861, Eddy Pocock is a widow, living with her grandchildren at Ashmore Green, Thatcham, Berkshire.
Next-door is the family of a William Pocock, likely her son, but I can find no record of his birth. He appears to have married an Elizabeth Mumford in 1843, when he records his father as a Joseph Pocock.
Death
Edith Pocock's death was registered in the first quarter of 1868 at Newbury (Vol: 2c, Page:134), she was 89.
