The Descendants of Thomas Wetmore and Elizabeth Perrett

Thomas Wetmore was believed to have been born around 1734, he was thought to be the son of Thomas Wetmore and Sarah Burroughs.

Thomas Wetmore married Elisabeth Perrett on 23 December 1756 at Hill (Bishops transcripts).

 Elizabeth Perrett had been baptised on 26 February 1735 in Berkeley, the daughter of John Perrett. 

Thomas and Elizabeth were my great x 7 grandparents.

Thomas and Elizabeth had four children, all baptised at Hill

• Elizabeth Wetmore. Baptised 14 September 1757
  
• Sarah Wetmore. Baptised 23 July 1759
  
• Mary Wetmore. Baptised 16 June 1761
  
• John Wetmore. Baptised 27 April 1763
  

Thomas Wetmore appears in the Land Tax Records for 1775.

The poll book for 1776 records Thomas Wetmoor having tenure of his own land and a house and land owned by George Watts of Didmartin in Rockhampton. 

A Thomas Wetmore was buried at Rockhampton on 2 August 1783 and another on 21 May 1797. No ages are given. It is not clear which is our Thomas.

Elizabeth Wetmore, widow was buried on 29 September 1801 at Rockhampton. Again no age is given. The administration papers of Elizabeth's estate are held at National Archives IR26/345. Administration was granted to John Wetmore, "one of the material and lawful children" on 5 October 1801. Elizabeth is described as a "widow, late of Rockhampton". Her estate is valued at "less than £600".

Our line continues through Thomas and Elizabeth's son John Wetmore, but I have tried to follow some of the other children's lines forward with some interesting stories emerging. 

Elizabeth Pritchard nee Wetmore

Elizabeth Wetmore was baptised on 14 September 1757 at Hill, daughter of Thos and Elzth Wetmore.

On 27 June 1777, Elizabeth Wetmore of Hill married William Pritchard of Hill at Hill. Both are described as "minors", presumably meaning under 21. The witnesses were Samuel Hale and John Clough.

A William Prichard had been baptised on 4 October 1756 at Hill, the son of William Prichard and Mary. This could mean he was just under 21 when he married. 

A William Pritchard of Thornbury was buried at Thornbury on 23 June 1794 aged 55. This appears too old to be Elizabeth's husband, but too young to be his father. 

Elizabeth Pritchard of Thornbury died in 1838 aged 80 and was buried at Hill on 21 June 1838.

Sarah Adams nee Wetmore

Sarah Wetmore was baptised on 23 July 1759 at Hill, daughter of Thos and Elzth Wetmore. 

On 17 February 1778 Sarah Wetmore of Hill married John Adams of Rockhampton at Rockhampton. The witnesses were Mary Wetmore and John Burroughs.

John and Sarah had five children all baptised in Rockhampton. Nothing is known with any certainty about any of them, save perhaps;

• Thomas Adams. Baptised 16 January 1780. Thomas is believed to have married Mary Caddy on 1 December 1800 in Thornbury. They had two children. Mary died in 1826. Thomas Adams of Redwick Monmouthshire died aged 48 and was buried at Rockhampton on 29 February 1828.

Sarah Adams died at 56 and was buried at Rockhampton on 24 May 1816.

John Adams, died aged 84 and was buried at Rockhampton on 3 February 1830.

Mary Leonard nee Wetmore

Mary Wetmore was baptised 18 June 1761 at Hill, daughter of Thos And Elzth Wetmore. 

On 31 January 1782 Mary Wetmore of Hill married Samuel Leonard of Hill at Hill. The witnesses were John Wetmore and John Knight.

In 1841 John,  50 year old butcher and his wife Ann, aged 35 were living at Hill (ages were rounded). Also listed is 15 year old Hester Leonard, The relationship to John and Ann is unclear.  

In 1851 Samuel was a 63 year old butcher was living with his 50 year old wife, Ann in Hill.

In 1841 the couple were living at Rockstowes, Uley. Miles is described as a "Mealman" (one who deals in grain).

Miles and Mary Ann had six children:.

• Mary Ann Leonard. Baptised 1 March 1818 in Uley. Miles is described as a "millwright" from Street.
  
• John Leonard. Baptised 16 July 1820 at Uley. Miles is described as a "millwright" from Street. It is possible that John Leonard died aged 6 months and was buried at Kingscote on 29 October 1820. Kingscote is about 2 miles from Uley.
  
• Henry James Leonard. Baptised 23 June 1822 in Uley, aged 2 1/2 years old, Miles is described as a 'fuller' from Kings Stanley.

In 1841 Henry, aged 19, Elizabeth, aged 16, Samuel, 14, Lavinia, 12 and Emma aged 7 were listed. In 1851 the family was still at Uley and Miles is again described as a meal man. Children, John, aged 38, miller, Henry, aged 28, Lavania, aged 21 and Emma, aged 17 were at home. The youngest four children are described as "mealman' son or daughter.

Mary Ann Leonard died in 1860 (Reg Gen March 1860 Clifton 6a 91).

In 1861 72 year old Miles, widower, was living at Rockstowes, Uley with his son John, aged 40 and daughter Mary Ann, aged 43. Miles is described as a miller, John as a "millers son" and Mary Ann, a "millers daughter". Both are shown as unmarried.

Miles Leonard of the parish of Uley, mealman, died on 23 August 1867 aged 78. Probate was granted to Joseph Powell of Lyle Farm, farmer and George Paradise of Sheephouse Farm Dursley. His estate was worth less than £1,500.

• Mary Ann Allen nee Leonard

Miles and Mary Ann's daughter, Mary Ann Leonard married Stephen Allen, a widower at Berkeley on 19 May 1869. Stephen, a farmer was the son of Thomas Allen, a cattle dealer. The certificate below confirms that Mary Ann was the daughter of Miles Leonard, miller.

In 1871 Stephen and Mary Ann were living at Cold Elm, Berkeley where he was farming 16 acres. Also living with them, Mary's stepchildren, 18 year old Emma Allen and 10 year old Thomas Allen. 

In 1881 and 1891 they were still at Cold Elm Farm, where Stephen was now farming 24 acres . 

Mary Ann Allen of Heathfield died aged 75 and was buried on 19 January 1895 at Berkeley. Her husband Stephen Allen of Heathfield died aged 82 and was buried on 1 October 1898 at Berkeley.

• Henry James Leonard and Sabarah Wakefield

Miles and Mary Ann's son, Henry James Leonard married Sabarah Wakefield on 18 April 1852 in Uley. Henry was the son of Miles Leonard "mealman". He would have been around 32 years old. Sabarah was the daughter of George Wakefield, mason.

In 1861 Henry and Sabarah were living at The Street, Uley where 39 year old Henry was a miller. 

Sabra Leonard died in 1868 aged 46 (Reg Gen Sept Qtr 1868 Dursley 6a 127). 

Henry Leonard died in 1877 aged 56 (Reg Gen Dec Qtr 1877 Dursley 6 159) 

• John Leonard

Miles and Mary Ann's son John Leonard was living at home with his parents until at least 1861. It is possible that he never married and in 1881 he is a 60 year old brewer and beer house keeper at The Nags Head, Uley.

• Elizabeth Marston nee Leonard

In 1841 Miles and Mary Ann's daughter Elizabeth Leonard was 16 years old and living at home. 

It is likely that Elizabeth married Charles Henry Marston, possibly in Dursley in 1849. In 1861 was living with the 33 year old physician at 5 Southbroom Place, Devizes with six children, the eldest 9 years old. The census shows she was 36 years old and born in Uley, Gloucestershire. The marriage has not been traced, but the name of their eldest daughter suggests I have the correct family. They had eight children in total. 

• Selina Elizabeth Leonard Marston. Born 1850 in West Bromwich
• Ann Marston. Born 1852 in Uley, Gloucestershire. 
• Alice Kyme Marston. Born 1853 in Reading

Charles Henry Marston M.D. formerly of Devizes in the county of Wiltshire, but late of 101, Castle Street, Reading, Berks died on 18 September 1870 at 101, Castle Street. Probate was granted to his widow Elizabeth Marston. 

In 1871 his widow Elizabeth Marston, aged 46 and described as "formerly a doctors wife" was living at "Beach", Weston Super Mare with daughters Alice, Eleanor and Emily and son Robert. 

I have been unable to trace Elizabeth Marston's death at the present time.   

In 1871 Charles and Elizabeth's daughter Selina Elizabeth Leonard Marston was an assistant governess at Ipswich Street, Stowmarket. In 1891, aged 40 and "living on her own means" was boarding at 40 Sterndale Road, Hammersmith with Walter W Robinson, builder and decorator and his family. In 1901 aged was still "living on her own means" now 50, by herself at 79, Wood Street, Chipping Barnet.  In 1911, still single, she was living on "private means" at 78, St Andrews Road, Exmouth.

In 1871 Charles and Elizabeth's daughter Alice Kyme Marston was 17 years old living with her widowed mother.  Alice Kyme Marston, spinster, of Peking, China died on 23 May 1900 in Nagaski, Japan. She would have been around 46 years old. Administration (with will) was granted to Henry John Marston, M R C S, Was this "our" Alice? Who was Henry John Marston? 

In 1871 Charles and Elizabeth's daughter Mary Ann Louisa Marston was a 15 year old pupil boarding at Clifton Road School, Clifton. In 1881, Mary Ann, a 25 year teacher was visiting Catherine M Cooper, a 49 year old born in Jersey and living on "interest and dividends" at 69, Adelaide Road, St John's, Hampstead.  Mary Ann Marston may have died in 1899 aged 44 years old.  

Charles and Elizabeth's son Willie Marston may have died in 1876 in Sussex, aged 18 years old. 

In 1881 Charles and Elizabeth's daughter Eleanor Agnes Marston, a 20 year old teacher was also visiting Catherine M Cooper at 69, Adelaide Road, St John's, Hampstead.  Eleanor Agnes Marston married Cecil Henry Polhill-Turner on 2 May 1888 in Paoning, Langzhong, Sichuan, China. Cecil was a missionary. In 1901 Cecil and Eleanor were living at 52, Salthill Park, Hampstead where Cecil, aged 41 was a protestant missionary.

• Herbert Victor Morris. Born 20 December 1885. Baptised 24 September 1901, son of David and Sarah Ann. Register notes "Father died at Newport Mon", He is shown as a colliery agent.  On 12 October 1909, Herbert Victor Morris, aged 23, merchant was initiated into the Freemasons in Alexandria, Egypt. This  would account for why I have been unable to trace him in the 1911 census or later records.

Thomas Wetmore and Ann Collins

John and Hester's son Thomas Wetmore of Hill married Ann Collins of Thornbury on 20 May 1824 at Thornbury. The witnesses were John Wetmore and Elizabeth Cullimore

In 1841 they were living at Oldbury on Severn and 21 year old Anna Wetmore was living with them.

In 1851 they were living at Oldbury Naite, Thornbury. The census shows

• Thomas Wetmore, head, aged 60, farmer, born Hill
  
• Ann Wetmore, wife, aged 63, farmers wife, born Thornbury
  
• Anna Wetmore, niece, aged 31, farmers daughter, born Monmouthshire
  
• Eliza Workman, niece, aged 25, farmers daughter, born Newport
  

I believe Anna Wetmore could have been the daughter of Thomas's brother John Wetmore who married Susanna Collins (see above). Anna Wetmore later married Joseph Weeks (see above and Appendix J).

It is not clear how Eliza Workman fits in at present, but she would seem to be a relative of Thomas's wife Anna.

In his will made on 8 March 1851 and proved on 28 October 1853 he appoints his brother William Wetmore and his cousin John Wetmore of "Scotland Farm, Hill" as his executors. John and Thomas Wetmore were 2nd cousins. John was the son of John Wetmore and Hannah Hewett, grandson of John Hewett and Elizabeth Cox. Thomas and John were both great grandsons of Thomas and Sarah Wetmore.

Thomas Wetmore leaves £200 to his wife for her immediate use. He bequeaths his wife all of the grounds called "Long or otherwise" situated in Hill whether leasehold or owned outright. He also leaves his wife his interest in his late mothers estate for her life and after his wife's death this is to pass to his nephew Thomas Wetmore, son of his brother William (see below).

Thomas's executors are given all his farming goods and chattels, money and securities to sell and convert to money except such household goods "furniture, plate, books, pictures, etc" his wife wants to retain which shall be hers absolutely . The proceeds are to be invested and he gives and bequeaths

• £200 to Anna Wetmore , daughter of his brother John Wetmore (see above)
• £100 to Eliza Workman, relation of his wife free from legacy duty
  
• £10 to each of his executors William Wetmore and John Wetmore "as a small acknowledgement for their trouble in carrying the trusts of this will"
  
• The bulk of the estate is to be invested in trust for the following equally
  
• "My Nephew John Wetmore" (see above)
  
• "My wife's sister the wife of John Crowther"
  
• "Mary Wetmore, children of my said brother, John Wetmore" (see above)
  
• "My and nieces, John , Thomas, Charles, Ellen and Sophia, children of my sister Hester wife of Henry Ponting" (Chapter 3)
  
• "My nephews and nieces John, Elizabeth and Ann Morris, children of my late sister Elizabeth by her husband John Morris" (see below).
  
• "My nephews William and Thomas Collins the children of my sister Ann, the wife of William Collins" (see below)
  
• "My niece Mary, daughter of my said brother William Wetmore" (see above)
  

If I am reading the will correctly it goes on to say that after his wife's death his executors are to call in, sell and convert all his estates in "Oldbury in the manor of Thornbury" and to keep all his monies in trust for all his nephews and nieces "aforesaid" except Anna Wetmore and Eliza Workman.

• John Morris and Mary Hannah Moyse

In 1861 John Morris, 27 year old farmer, born Taynton, Gloucestershire was visiting Felix Smith, a farmer of 200 acres, his wife Mary Ann and family at Fellhampton Farm, Upton Bishop, Herefordshire. Was this John and Elizabeth's son?

Mary Hannah Moyse was baptised on 31 Jul 1833 in Saint Agnes, Near Truro, Cornwall, the daughter of William Moyse and Mary Paul Letcher. 

By 1871 John Morris was a 40 year old farmer of 160 acres employing 5 men and 1 boy at Huntington Farm, Huntington, Herefordshire. His wife Mary Hannah was 37 years old. The census confirms that John had been born in Taynton, Gloucestershire and Mary Hannah in Wheel Rose, Cornwall. The couple had 4 daughters, all born in Huntington,

• Annie Isabel Morris, born 1866,
  
• Florence Gertrude Morris born 1868,

By 1911 John Morris was a widower, a retired farmer, aged 80, he was living at 12 Baggallay Street, Hereford with his 46 year old daughter Annie Isabel Morris.

It is likely that her husband signed up to fight with the Imperial Yeomanry in the Boar War on 21 February 1900 and died in 1917 in the Transvaal, South Africa.

Nothing further is known about John and Mary's daughter Marian Emily Morris after 1881 when she was 12 years old and living with her parents.
