Entries in Headley Baptisms for Andrew, Samuel, Mary Anne, Martha and William state they were living at Barford (Arford in the case of Mary Anne but I assume this is a typo).

In the 1861 census as Martha Fulick (sic - both on the original and in the index) aged 32 (26 would be more accurate), born in Headley, and living with her husband (Henry), two sons ( Samuell and William) and two daughters (Martha and Mary Ann) at Barford, Headley, Hampshire.

In the 1871 census as Martha Fullick aged 40 (36 would be more accurate), born in Headley, and living with her husband (Henry), seven sons (Arthur, Frederick, George, James, John, Samuel and William), and two daughters (Martha and Mary Ann) at the Furze Hills, Churt, Surrey (as this is the third entry in the Churt census starting from Pond Cottage, I think it must be Copse or Coppice Cottage where my father lived after 1906).

Her daughter was born on 1 April 1874, registered in in April-June 1874 in Farnham, and baptised on 17 May 1874 at St John the Evangelist, Churt when when they were living in Churt.

In the 1881 census as Martha Fullock (sic - in the index, Fullick on the original) aged 46, born in Headley and living with her husband (Henry), four sons (Arthur, Henry, Frederick, and Samuel) and three daughters (Ellen, Kate and Lilly - this was Lilly Hurst her granddaughter) between Simmons Stone and Wellmer's Cottage (I assume this was still Coppice Cottage), Churt, Surrey.

In the 1891 census as Martha Fullick aged 52 (should be 56), born in Headley, and living with her husband (Henry), four sons (Arthur, George, James and William), two daughters (Ellen and Kate) and grand daughter (Lilly Hurst) at Simmond Stone, Headley, Hampshire (I think this was at Field House).

Her husband died at Field House, Headley on 30 September 1895.

In Rogers' Almanack and Directory of Headley - 1896 Mrs Henry Fullick was living with Lily Hurst at Field House (Lily is not in the 1897 directory).

There are sixty six entries in Ancestry Public Member Trees for Martha Shrubb.

Note that Headley was in Farnborough until 1969 when it was transfered to Alton. The Headley Parish Records come under Surrey because it was in the diocese of Sutton which was in Surrey, and it should not be confused with Headley, Surrey.
