John Ferrabee Freehold of Thrupp Mill
An electoral survey conducted 11-12 August 1834 lists John Ferrabee as living freehold at Thrupp Mill.
The inventory for Gloucestershire lists no other Ferrabee. There are two Buddings, but neither is Edwin Budding.
It is highly likely that Budding's Patent Mower that John Ferrabee constructed was tested at the dwelling at Thrupp Mill or on the grass of the meadows.
The list also includes people with the surname of Chew, the same as Edwin Budding's wife.
