    3359 The Shrapnells were manufacturing clothiers, at Trowbridge, in Wiltshire.
    James Shrapnell was the son of Richard Shrapnell, clothier, of Trowbridge (born 1655, died 1730), and was born July 25th, 1683. The name of his mother, who died in 1718, was Margaret.
    From an interesting manuscript, written by James Shrapnell, some extracts may be culled. Inside the cover is written, "James Shrapnell, London, 1725." Then, after quoting Psalm xv. 1 - 3. ... " Memorandums of God's goodness to me and mine, and some dealings of His providence." ...He writes thankfully of recoveries from sickness and disease in the case of himself, his wife (nee Hester Reddish, of Maiden Bradley) and his daughters, Margaret and Joanna, and his brother Edward's escape from drowning in the river Avon....For example, "July 21st, 1727, went for Trowbridge, had a comfortable journey : while there my brother's maid was taken ill and died, and the town of Trowbridge very much afflicted with the small-pox, and was mortal. During my absence my family and habitation was preserved....His brother Edward, who worked the fine cloth mill at Trowbridge, involved James in much extra anxiety on his death. He was his executor, and bought the business at a valuation, and appears to have put in his sons, James and Edward, to manage it. The former is our ancestor. ... " The management of the funeral was by his will left to his wife and me, and was done after the following manner. I invited most of the gentlemen and middling men of the town, which in general came ; invited also all our near relations of both sides ; was treated with beer, red and white wine, white gloves given to all. The six underbearers had good silk hatbands and gloves, the six pall-bearers received very good silk hatbands, rings of a guinea price, gloves and scarves. Two clergymen, Mr. Hussey and Mr. Thompson, had the same: two Dissenting Ministers, Mr. Graham and Mr. Lucas, had the same except scarves, at which distinction they was both very much offended."
    Edward Shrapnell left a widow and three young children (one of them posthumous), but two years later one daughter and the only son were carried off by small-pox. James Shrapnell remarks upon this, " Thus does God seem to us to be reducing i6 some families, while He builds up others : but just and righteous is He in all His ways."

    Will of Edward Shrapnell, Clothier of Trowbridge, Wiltshire 19 January 1733 PROB 11/656: mentions wife Elizabeth, daughter Elizabeth, son Edward, brother James.

    3362 The son, described as John Elmes of Lilford, esq., made his will, a very long one, in November, 1540, and it was proved 7 February, 1544-5.
    By it he left £10 to his 'grandfather' William Brown's almshouses at Stamford and small gifts (including 6s. 8d. to Warmington) to many churches, the gild of our Lady at Oundle, etc. His son Edmond was under 22 years of age, and other children and kinsfolk... His wife, who survived, was Edith, daughter of John, lord Mordaunt of Turvey, Beds.

    In 1539 charges had been brought against him in the Star Chamber, which may explain the defamation mentioned in his will. The inhabitants of Lilford, Warmington and Barnwell claimed common of pasture in these places, and alleged that Elmes had closed up highways in Papley, etc., converted arable into pasture and impounded their cattle. ...The son Edmund succeeded in 1543, and made in 1579 a settlement of his manors of Lilford, Papley and Warmington (this latter being the Stock estate); and he died 12 March, 1601-2, holding these manors of the bishop of Peterborough, having settled them on his second son Thomas. The heir was a son John, then aged 40. No reason is given for thus giving them to a younger son, but his widow Alice (sister of Oliver St. John of Bletsoe) in her own will directed that her late husband's will was to be carried out, and left household stuff at Lilford to John on condition that he did not disturb it; Thomas was to have the household stuff at Papley. Thomas Elmes, who thus succeeded, had already several children-William, John, Edmund, Thomas and Anthony being named. (www.lilfordhall.com/History/Jacobean.asp)

    WALKER-April 23rd, at her residence, Prince-street, Jane, the beloved wife of Captain David Walker, of the A.S.N. Co., aged 35 years. Deeply regretted by a large circle of friends. (Australian Steam Navigation Co.)

    Sydney Morning Herald 1st July 1873
    On the 19th June, at St. Mary's Church, Balmain, by the Rev. Canon O'Reilly, WILLIAM GEORGE WATSON, M.A., M.B., M.R.S.C.L., &c., eldest son of William Watson, Esq., of Balmain, to EMILY JANE, eldest daughter of Captain DAVID WALKER, of Balmain.



    The Marine Board of New South Wales, after hearing voluminous evidence as to the cause of the wreck of the Cahors, has attributed the cause of the disaster to the default of Captain David Walker and his first officer. The certificate of the former has been suspended for six months, and of the latter for three months. Captain Walker's friends have held a meeting in Sydney to sympathise with him, and friendly speeches were delivered by two members of the Government, Mr Dalley and Mr Dibbs. The following resolutions were passed:- l. "That while abstaining from expressing any opinion on the determination arrived at by the proper tribunal, this meeting desires to record its sense of the courage, invariably courtesy, and vigilance which has characterised Captain Walker as commander for more than 30 years on this coast, and its continued confidence in him as a sailor." 2. "That, as by reason of his misfortune, Captain Walker has been left at an advanced period of life in rather impoverished circumstances, this meeting resolves that a subscription list be opened to provide a fund for his relief."


    Shipwrecks-Evans Head
    Cahors - Police from Evans Head camped on the beach to protect cargo washing ashore from the wreck of the Cahors on 10 June 1885. On a voyage from Sydney to Brisbane, the new iron steamer with about 200 passengers and a large cargo, belonged to the Australasian Steam Navigation Company (ASN). Travelling at top speed, Cahors ran up onto Evans Reef about 6pm, as Captain David Walker was debating their position in the chart room. The terrific impact heeled the vessel around and a huge sea crashed over the decks flooding the saloon and putting out the engine fires. One of the lifeboats capsized but the crew were
    recovered. The wrecked vessel was dramatically lit up when burning cotton waste soaked in kerosene was attached to iron poles. Blue lights and rockets were fired and about 10.30pm, the steamer Burwah approached. The male passengers and some crew were pulled aboard the Burwah by line through the sea. This was made more thrilling when a large shark waited close by.
    By 5am, most had been evacuated except for the married men, their wives and children - the latter numbering about 40 people. These were taken off at daylight by the bow crane. Second Mate Thompson was apparently drowned during later salvage work. The wreck was sold at auction but not recovered.
    Cahors was an iron screw steamer built in 1883 at Scotland with a length of 76-metres and tonnage of 1254 tons and a compound engine. Registered Sydney as 54 of 1884, British Register of Ships and Official Number 89867.

    THE TROOPS FOR SOUTH AFRICA
    Of the 1000 men wanted for service in South Africa 260 have now been enrolled, 88 having passed all the tests yesterday. Details of separate testing carried out yesterday are as follows; Out of 113 submitted to the doctor 94 passed. Out of 76 sub- mitted to the firing test 74 passed. Out of 84 sub- mitted to tho riding test 78 passed. The class of men offerng is, in the opinion of the military authotitles, a great improvement on the type available at the last recruiting for the war. The true bushmen are now coming forward and their quality may be judged to some extent by the high percentage of passes in riding and firing. During the remainder of the week considerable further arrivals of volunteers are expected from the country The following addi- tional provisional enrolments were announced in a camp order issued last night, the men being posted to companies as noted :-

    Alfred d'Epaignes held all of SPAXTON in demesne in 1086 except for 1½ hide occupied by an unnamed knight. (fn. 28) In 1166 Robert Fichet held the fee and in 1227 Hugh Fichet. (fn. 29) The latter or another Hugh died c. 1261-2 and was succeeded by his son Robert (fn. 30) (d. c. 1272) and by his grandson Hugh Fichet, (fn. 31) who held the fee c. 1285 and in 1303. (fn. 32) By 1314 Hugh had been succeeded by his son (Sir) John, (fn. 33) who was followed by his son (Sir) Thomas before 1344. (fn. 34) Sir Thomas was dead by 1367 (fn. 35) and was followed by his son Sir Thomas (d. 1386) (fn. 36) and by his grandson also Thomas Fichet. (fn. 37) Thomas died under age in 1395 when his heir was his sister Isabel, wife of Robert Hill. (fn. 38) Isabel predeceased her husband, who died in 1423 leaving a son John. (fn. 39) John Hill (d. 1434) (fn. 40) was succeeded by his son John who died in 1455 leaving as his heir his daughter Genevieve, wife of Sir William Say. (fn. 41) Genevieve died in 1480, (fn. 42) but her husband occupied the estates until his death in 1529. (fn. 43) The heirs were then the descendants in the female line of John Hill (d. 1434), (fn. 44) half the manor going to John Waldegrave and half being divided between Thomas Hussey, William Clopton, and Ellen, wife of George Babington. (fn. 45) John Waldegrave (d. 1543) acquired Ellen's share and his son Sir Edward (d. 1561) obtained the remaining shares. (fn. 46)

    3369 The Visitations of the County of Somerset 1531 and 1573, edited F.W. Weaver (1885):

    page 33 - Christopher Hadley married Anne daughter of Giles Hill of Hounston (Giles was aged 24 and more in 1493)
    page 43 - Sir Andrew Luttrell of Dunster (died 1547) had as second son Thomas Luttrell who married Mary, daughter of Christopher Hadley of Withycombe.


    Thomas Luttrell... entered into a contract of marriage with Margaret, daughter and heiress of Christopher Hadley of Withycombe, a lady who brought him a considerable landed estate on the east of Dunster and Carhampton...the marriage ...was pronounced invalid in the reactionary reign of Mary, ... The matter was referred to Pope Paul, ... ordered them to go through a new marriage, ... The re-marriage was solemnized at East Quantockshead in August 1560, the bride being described in the Register of that Church as Mrs. Margaret Hadley. The inscription on the monument of Thomas Luttrell, set up some sixty years later, mentions expressly that he was " lawfully married " to his wife.

    He appears to have lived for the most part at Marshwood in the parish of Carhampton, ....In 1556 he obtained from Robert Opy a surrender of his lease of Dunster Castle, ... Lady Mary Luttrell should live so long... survived her brother-in-law by several years, so that, though he seems to have lived at Dunster Castle in the later years of his life, he never held it and the Barony in fee. He died in January, 1571, being at that time Sheriff of Somerset. It would appear that the monument to his memory in Dunster Church was not erected until about fifty years after his death.

    3371 The Will of Sir Henry Thwaites of Lund, Knight.[Reg. Test.ix.124 a.]
    June 30, 1520.

    "I, Sir Herry Thwaites, of Lounde, knyght. To be bur. in the church of Alhalowes of Lound, in the chauncell where Agnes my late wiff is buried. ... To Anne, my wiff, my cheyne of gold.

    Henry, son of Henry, son of Edmund ...
    From a Feodary's book relating to the Percy estates in Yorkshire, which is now before me, I find that Frances, Sir Henry's daughter, was her father's heiress. She married Sir Thomas Gresham, and had Lund for her portion. From the Greshams Lund went to Sir Henry Neville, and from him to the Remingtons. Beatrix Lady Greystock mentions her son Herry Thwaites & Agnes his wife. She was probably the wife of William Killinghall, Esq., of Middleton St.George, co. Durham. He left a widow, Eleanor, living in 1526 (Surtees's Durham, iii. 222)

    3373 Their eldest son, Sir Michael Blount, was born about 1529; an inquisition taken after the death of Sir Richard Blount, in the seventh year of Elizabeth, 1564, was found that he held two parts of the manors of Howberland, Healpore, and other lands, and that Sir Michael, his son and heir, was thirty-five years old, and held lands in the counties of Devon, Somerset, and Oxford.



    Sir Michael Blount, of Maple Durham, born in 1529. ... On the 1st of April, 1570 Queen Elizabeth sent her letter of trust to Sir Michael to receive the loan money. In 1581 (4th February) he purchased the manor of Maple Durham Chawsey, for £900, ... He was sheriff of Oxfordshire in 1586 and 1597. On the death of Charles Blount, Earl of Devonshire, 3rd April, 1606, Sir Michael Blount claimed the Barony Of Mountjoy, ... but unsuccessfully.
    He married Mary, sister and co-heir of Thomas Moore, esq. of Bicester, in Oxfordshire, by whom (who d. 23rd December, 1592) he had five sons and six daughters, namely, i. Richard (Sir), his successor, ll. Thomas, b. 2nd April, 1567, m.Brocket, iii.

    Mother: Elizabeth ALLEN


    ...By the earlier 17th century wages in the cloth trade had fallen and there was distress... Shortly before 1630 the Devizes poorrate rose... Moreover since country clothiers competed with town clothiers some attempt was made by the latter to enforce apprenticeship. .. By the middle of the century Devizes weavers were finding it hard to retain their apprentices, (fn.89) .. None the less the old 'clothier' or woollen-draper families such as the Batts, (fn.91) the Morrises, (fn.92) and the Flowers (fn.93) continued to govern the town and fill the mayoralty. New ones who now arose did the same: Pierces, (fn.94) Erwoods, (fn.95) Webbs, (fn.96) and Paradises.(fn. 97) William Erwood and Richard and Robert Flower were all mayors and so were Edward Northey and John Stephens, also clothiers. (fn.98) That some at least of these manufacturers possessed gentle status and were prosperous is in various ways attested. Northey (fn.99) and John Pierce (d. c. 1642) (fn. 100) sent their sons to Oxford, and Richard Batt bequeathed £130 in cash. (fn. 101).
