Also at same address, Thomas MARTER, aged 54 years, an Agricultural Labourer, born In County, 'Y' and Sarah MARTER, aged 15 years, Financially Independent, born In County 'Y'. (HO107/1074/8, folio 55, Page 10 - Dunsford (sic) [Durnford] Mill, Chertsey, Surrey). The 1851 Population Census of England shows Sarah MARTER, aged 27 years, a Housemaid, born Chertsey, Surrey working in Ottershaw House, Addlestone, Surrey for Richard CRAWSHAY and his family.

Owners and Occupiers of Ottershaw Park: Richard Crawshay [owner 1841 - 1859] Richard Crawshay (1786 - 1859) was eldest son of the famous ironmaster William Crawshay who owned an ironworks at Merthyr Tydfil in South Wales. Richard shared in the prosperity of the family but preferred the life of a country gentleman. He married Mary Homfray by whom he had 4 sons and 8 daughters. Richard leased Honingham Hall in Norfolk where he indulged in his hobbies, brewing and farming. He also bought an estate at Rowfant in Sussex and later leased and finally acquired Ottershaw Park in 1842. It is interesting to speculate if the brewery which Richard Crawshay built in the Bothy at Ottershaw Park was done so out of his interest in brewing. He appears to have brought several members of his staff with him to Ottershaw from Norfolk, including the Bailiff, William Sapey and his wife, the cook, Martha Chitty and an old labourer, William Carr. Richard is recorded as having engaged in some risky pursuits including taking a ballon ride from Norwich to Yarmouth in 1831. He died of apoplexy in 1859 and was buried in St Pauls Churchyard, Addlestone. His wife died four years later and was buried beside him. In his will, apart from providing for his family members Richard Crawshay left small bequests to all of his servants including William Sapey, Sarah Marter (Housemaid) and Ann Bartley (Lady's maid). http://www.johnathersuch.com/op_website/op_owners_text.htm
