Mary's death notice was published in the Cambrian newspaper (Swansea Library)
Reported as having been aged 11 at the time of her death in 1829, she was described as having been the daughter of John Cadogan of Tudor Street .
This, together with the fact that John and Elizabeth had only just got married in January 1818, suggests to me that her father may have been a different John Cadogan, possible the son of Henry and Rachel

CensusRecord

In 1841 census for High Street, Brecon, John is described as being aged 20 and not born in Breconshire. This is consistent with him having been born in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire although no baptism record has been found for him. John was working as a Shoe and hat warehouseman in Brecon at the time and was living in the household of a Thomas Jones (brewer), whose daughter Sibil (sic) was later to become his wife.

On 24th August 1842 John was reported as having narrowly escaped from drowning on a visit to Newton pool, where he was rescued by two companions! I'm not sure where this is, but it could be down near Cardiff. Certainly not the Newton Pool in Northumberland!

On their marriage certificate, dated 2nd March 1843, John is described as being a shopkeeper, living in High Street Inferior, where his bride Sybil also lived, so perhaps he was still living in her father's house. One of the witnesses to the marriage was Thomas Baskerville Jones, who was either Sybil's father or her older brother of the same name. Another witness was Mary Williams, who might perhaps have been an aunt of Sybil's, if her mother really was called Ann Williams before she married, as I believe she was. However, I do not have an aunt called Mary Williams in my tree, so perhaps she was a cousin.

John was described as being a shopkeeper (draper) in 1844 and 1845 when his 2 eldest children were born, but as an innkeeper in Watton when Charles John was born in 1847 and a shopkeeper in Watton when his youngest child John James Roy was born in 1849.

According to "The Jurist - Volume 10 - Part 2" on 31st July 1846, John Cadogan the younger of Brecon, stay warehouseman, appeared at 11 District Court of Bankruptcy in Bristol. This was also reported in the Bristol Mercury on 24th October 1846

In the 1851 census, John was shown as being aged 30 and born in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire. His position was given as Canteen Lessee and he was living there with his wife Sybil (34) and their four children Henry (7), Emily (5), Charles (3) and John (1), all of whom had been born in Brecon.

John died in 1852 at the age of just 33 as a result of falling from his horse, leaving Sybil to bring up 4 young children. The Odd Fellows and Foresters showed their respect for their departed brother by following his remains to the grave, an example followed by the infantry and cavalry stationed in the barracks.

Caleb was born in the fourth quarter of 1837 and shortly after this he died of smallpox. There was apparently a widespread outbreak of smallpox in Abergavenny at around this time, despite the discovery of vaccination 40 years earlier.

The marriage to Diana Davies took place in the 3rd quarter of 1869 (v11a p738)
Dixwell emigrated to Australia in 1870 on the Ellen Stuart from the Port of London, arriving in Sydney on 8th December of that year. I am notsure what became of his wife Diana - there is no death record for a Diana Cadogan of the correct age in the UK.
His occupation in Australia was that of a Hawker.
According to Violet Healey he arrived to the Colony as a remittance man.
He died in Liverpool Asylum in New South Wales of paralysis on 21/01/1892.
He appears in the 1884 Sand & Sydney Directory living at No.2 Wethered Street, Sydney,
He had an affair with a maid in Mary Cadogan's household and had 3 sons out of wedlock.
According to recollections by Violet Healey's mother, Dixwell did not change his ways in the Colony and was known in family circles as "Dirty Dick"
