DANIEL BAGLIN (1813-1883)

Daniel Baglin (1813-1883), grandson of Thomas and Betty Hurcombe, married Ann Poulton (1818-1879) - Their two children were:

• James Poulton Baglin, born 1835, Uley, Glos., and

• William Edward Baglin, born 10th April 1839, Uley, Glos.

This branch of the Baglin family uprooted and moved from Uley, Gloucestershire to North Common, Bristol in the mid-19th Century. The crash of the Cotton Mills may have caused them to move. It seems from research that they owned a large amount of land in Uley. After the economic crash of the Mills, the local Council raised money to support the unemployed by charging very high rates to land owners, which in turn forced many land owners to cut their losses by selling up and moving on (source - The Story of Uley, by M. Lloyd Baker).

After settling in North Common, Daniel Baglin set-up a 111 acre farm in Staple Hill, Bristol, with his elder son (James Poulton Baglin). He worked 90 acres and his son worked 21 acres, they named the farm `Baglyn Farm'. In the 1960's the land where the farm stood was developed for residential housing - one of the Roads being named `Baglyn Avenue' (sources, census records and family).
