454	Jane appears to have met and married Thomas when she was only 16 years old and he wasn't much older. Thomas was the eldest son of a large family whose father, Samuel, worked as a Blacksmith. One of his sisters, Elizabeth, was a straw bonnet maker when she was only 14. This is recorded in the 1851 census. Thomas himself worked as an Iron Roller then, aged 16. The young couple wed in 1852 and there was soon born the first of many children. By 1861 they were still living at Park St. Brierly Hill in Kingswinford in Staffordshire and they had 3 children. Thomas was now working as a labourer. In 1871 Jane appears to be living at 6, Queen Anne St in Christchurch in Southwark, which is in the Parish of St.Saviours, and describes herself as the Head of the family. She has 5 of her children living with her, the youngest being John, who was only a few months old. There is a real possibility that two of her little boys died here, John , only a few months old and Thomas, who was 5. She also seems to have had another child she called thomas later in the seventies, 1878. She described herself as a Charwoman, and there is no mention of her husband. I did assume she was then a widow but in 1881she is to be found in Poplar, living at 69, Culloden St, which is fairly amazing, since it was so close to where I was born. Thomas is there too, described as an Engine Driver, and Jane says she is a Dressmaker. There are still more children, the youngest now being Lillia, who was then one year old. In 1891 it seems she was indeed widowed, and is described as such. She is working as a Housekeeper to a Mr Hill, and has Evelyn, Thomas and Lydia Rose with her. The address is Clifton House, Erith near abbey Villas. By 1901 she is 64 years old and living at 4, Upper Abbey St, in Erith, in the Parish of All Saints. She has her 23 year old son, Thomas with her, who is working as a labourer, and there is a 5 year old grandson called William Sutton. I do not yet know whose child this is.	Edginton, Jane (I1286)

469	Lance Corporal Frank Wheeler L/7766 1st Bn The Buffs (East Kent Regiment) Died 15 September 1916 Frank Wheeler was born in Chatteris on 2nd August 1886. Frank was the youngest son of William and Susannah Wheeler who ran the Old Ship Inn on Chatteris High Street and before that lived in Black Horse Lane when William was a farmer. Frank was a reservist before the war but Frank went to visit his sister, Florence in Sevenoaks, Kent and while there he enrolled at Canterbury into 1st East Kent Regiment (Buffs). Frank went to France with his Battalion on 11th November 1914 and fought near Ypres in 1915 before moving down to the Somme in 1916. Frank was killed in action on 15th September 1916, during the third phase of the Battle of the Somme. His Battalion were to attempt to capture the Quadrilateral, a complex of German trenches which had impeded the advance of troops for several weeks. Frank’s Battalion were in the 16th Brigade who were on the right flank of the attack. An article in the Cambs Times recounts a letter from one of Frank’s comrades. “On the morning of Sept 15th, in connection with the great advance, the battalion was ordered to take the second line of German trenches. The front line should have been taken by another regiment but owing to the heavy gunfire from the enemy that battalion failed to reach their objective owing to great losses on their ranks. Under the impression that the first line was taken we set forth to take the second line and like others before us we were held up in the same way. I was with Frank during the whole time the advance was in progress and owing to heavy casualties through shell and machine gun fire we sought shelter in a shell hole and it was in that same hole that poor Frank met his death. We had been in the hole half an hour, during which time we were watching for the signal to advance again when a sniper who had evidently been watching our movements fired and hit Frank in the left eye by an explosive bullet which proved fatal. He did not suffer for his death was instantaneous. He was buried on the next day. I learnt from my comrades that he was buried with other comrades near Ginchy.” This was the first time that tanks were used but unfortunately two broke down and one had to turn back so they were of limited use. Frank’s grave was lost so he is commemorated on the Thiepval Memorial to the missing. Thanks to Susan Jones for photos and information.	Wheeler, Frank (I639)

471	Lavinia was born on 24th February, 1853 at Scut Mill Road, Tupsley, in Herefordshire. Tupsley is obviously now part of the town of Hereford. She was unmarried at the time of the 1881 census when she lived with her parents and her nephew and niece, at the Rose and Crown near Coulsdon, Surrey. She was a dressmaker. She married in Croydon in 1882, aged 29 years. Her husband, William, was a Glass Painter who was two years younger than she was. Her father attended the wedding and was described as a carpenter. The wedding was witnessed by a Walter Fidler and Mary Ellen Stokes, whom I am assuming was her husband's sister.	Edginton, Lavinia (I1299)

493	Mary Ann seems to have been the last child of William and Mary. On her birth certificate it states that she was born at Ailstone Hill in the parish of All Saints in Hereford and Dore, in the County of Hereford. She was registered on the 5th March by Henry Griffiths. Her father was described as a railway carpenter. When she was only about 15 she married William, who wasn't much older, although it says on their marriage certificate that he was 20 and she was 18. He worked as a labourer in the gas works, but managed to rise to being a Gas Fitter by 1891. Their first child was either called Ann Elizabeth or Elizabeth Ann - it varies according to different censuses. In 1881 the family lived at !, Rose Cottages, Coulsdon, Surrey. Mary is recorded as being a shop keeper in 1891. The family then lived at 4, Hillside Cottages on the Godstone Road. They had a lot of children, and I can find no entry for a death, but Mary seems to have disappeared by 1901, and William was living with some of his children and a housekeeper, with her children.	Edginton, Mary Ann (I873)
494	Mary Ann was 82 years old when she died in 1898, which was a considerable age at that time. She lived on Godstone Road in Kenley, near Coulsdon, near Croydon. The death was witnessed by a M.A Stanford who lived at 1, Riddlesdown Cottages, Kenley which must have been nearby. Her son, John, lived near Riddlesdown in the 1881 census, but obviously wasn't with her when she went.	Hoare, Mary Ann (I1008)
495	Mary died aged 34 years in Edmonton, leaving a number of young children. She died of Phthisis Pulmonalis, which is a form of TB. Her death was formally witnessed by Eliza Gillann, a neighbour who lived at 12, White Hall Street in Edmonton. The certificate says her husband was William and that he was a wheelwright, which seems odd, but I am fairly certain that this lady was my great great grandmother.	Family: Edginton, William Henry / Chadwick, Mary (F413)
496	Mary was the second child of John Edginton and his wife, Elizabeth. Her older brother was also called John and I do not know what happened to him. Mary was obviously not a good girl, and when she was 21, she had a baby, Richard, who may more than possibly be a direct grandparent of mine, and then another son the next year called William Tuckwell, presumably after his father. It may be that this William was the one who became a farmer employing 9 labourers but it seems unlikely.	Edginton, Mary (I1305)

498	Memories of Mr Erskine Piper at Staplehurst about 1912 by an ex-employee. "He used to blink all the time. He was a thorough gentleman and used to bow to the customers when they left the shop." The writer was Sydney Hooker born 1898 so he would have been aged 14. Erskine got him a job with his brother Alfred at Hawkhurst.	Piper, Erskine (I104)
