[Penninah]

Hello all!
Several birds with one stone is the idea of this post!!

Im looking for any info on these people all of whom lived in or near Colchester around the 1880's; 1) Henry Arnold whom i believe was a pork butcher
2) Charles Edward Denton he was a solicitor (i have a little info about him and his family from the igi and 1881 & 91 census)
3) Thomas Flory, who was a brickmaker and Builder
4) Henry Winnock Hayward, who was an Architect/surveyor
And finally Louisa Bowman Hurnard (i have also some info on her and her husband James from what i have found on the lds site)
Im looking for any other information that i can get if anybody has these names or knows of plces i may be able to find further info on them that would be great!
thanks for looking!
regards

Hiyah,
         I will do one tonight, I have spent 10 hours at the ERO today, and absolutely kn****d. Henry Arnold shows up a lot in the Colchester area, eg Dedham, Ardleigh and varying ages. can you give more info, specifically age to look for. I have access to 1871, 1891 and 1901, for everywhere, and 1841, 1861 for Essex, Suffolk  and some other places, so all is available.

         Best
Kevan

Hi,
Re 1) Henry Arnold.
He was born c1825, Great Holland, Essex the son of John Arnold (1782-1873) and Mary. He had 10 , possibly 11 siblings.  Both his children with Mary were born in London - William J in c.1849 (not sure where) and Mary Ann Arnold bQ2 1854 Pimlico, London. By 1861 the family had returned to Essex and were living in Colchester but separately, Mary and the children in Wellington Street and Henry as a manservant elsewhere in Colchester.  I had thought Henry died in 1918 but I am not sure it is the same one. In 1901 Henry and Mary were retired and living in Colchester with their grandaughter Winifred Julia Arnold, who I presume was the daughter of William but I am not 100% sure of this.  As many blanks than certainties  I am afraid.  Hope this helps

Just thought I'd mention that the Denton name crops up in Coggeshall which is quite close to Colchester, they are found in both C of E and Non Conformist registers.

My Denton ancestors were in Coggeshall from 1701 to 1791 and no doubt there were Dentons in Coggeshall after that.

Modified to add: The Ha(y)wards were also in Coggeshall, a Rebecca Haward (possibly Howard) married my ancestor Everet Denton at Coggeshall in 1728.

Father Henry Hammond Hayward dies 11 January 1862, see above reference to his will.
The entire will is not on line only the name of the deceased and executors property value 12,000
pounds

Sometime after this I believe HWH and family went to Madras India I cannot find him in England 1871 and as yet 1881 plus his daughter Florence Elizabeth Mary Hayward (1861 census)married Edward Ghugnee Morrogh on 4 December 1878 Madras India. She was 22 he was 39. 

1871 Census Heath Road Lexden
Marianne Hayward 52 Independent  (his sister)
Emma E Salmon, niece 23 Governess

1881 not found HWH or his sister Marianne as yet, possible he was still in India and she had visited, they had to have returned by 19 July 1881 as HWH married 2nd Winifred Ellen Floris (see name census 1891) of St Mary's Wimbledon, she was 34  he was 57, her father John Evan Dibbs, so she had to be a widow, his father Henry Hammond Hayward.   

Marianne Hayward died 4 April 1884 in Lexden Probate at Ipswich 19 May 1884 executor George Anstice Hayward the brother of 10 Maxilla Gardens Notting Hill. value 5,357 pounds. Again the entire will is not on line.

1891 census Dedham, Chapel House

Winifred Ellen       44 born Islington
Robert Brooke Florie? stepson 21 born Hackney, science student.

Henry Winnock Hayward died 27 February 1893 Colchester, Probate London 10 February 1910 to Florance Morrogh, widow. 17 years after his death, probably his second wife Winifred had died and daughter Florence took care of the residue of the estate.

His sister Charlotte married Joseph Dennis Salmon 1844 Colchester registration she died 1876 age 59 Ipswich.
His brother George Anstice Hayward became a clergyman and school teacher.

If Henry Arnold was definitely born in great Holland c1825, he was base born to John Roberson and Ann Arnold (servant) 15/4/1824. The other Henry Arnold was born 3/10/1826 to John and Elizabeth, but he dies 15/10/1826 aged three weeks.
There are no other Henry Arnolds born in great Holland in this time scale on the parish registers?

License to marry was issued 12 April 1871, Charles Denton to Florence Elizabeth Bentley he was of St Giles Colchester Essex.
They were married 13 April 1871 at New Church, Christ Church Watney Street Middlesex. He was 26 and stated his father as John Denton, Insurance Agent, she was 24 and her father was William Mortlock Bentley. Witness Marian Bentley, John Jackson Creasy and Fanny Creasy.

* The fathers name is probably a ruse, however if poor laws exist for Colchester Charlotte may have made a request for support for Charles from the reputed father, worth checking.

26 January 1874 he was nominated to the Free Masons at Angel Lodge Colchester, He was initiated 11 September 1874 at United Lodge Colchester

Directory 's of Colchester 1882 and 1886 give an address of Roman Road.
