Northamptonshire / Re: MASTERS family tree
« on: Thursday 15 December 05 18:49 GMT (UK) »
Hello, Bev
I think I'm getting my Frederick's mixed up! Are you saying that Joseph Masters and Ruth Darby of Litchborough had a son called Frederick and he is your g/grandfather? If so, perhaps you could fill me in with this side of the family. I have only got Joseph and Ruth having two daughters, Harriett (who married a man called Seaton, first name unknown) and Annie who married a Charles Williams. I know there must be a male line because there are Masters graves in the Litchborough Churchyard - John Brown Masters d 27 April 1928 aged 81 yrs and his wife, Elizabeth d 18 November 1935 aged 88 yrs. Also one for Albert Sidney Masters, b 30 January 1924, d 27 February 1992 - this was had fresh flowers on it when we visited the churchyard.
The Frederick Masters (who is my g/g-grandfather) was a son of Joseph and Mary Ann Masters. Yes you are right, he married Catherine Costello on the 12 October 1867 at St Judes Church in Dublin. He was a Lance Corporal of the 48th Northamptonshire Regiment. They had three children, Mary Ann, b. Fermoy 23 July 1868, Clarence Robert, b Malta 1870 and Joseph, b 1872 in the East Indies. On Mary's birth certificate, Catherine's surname is spelt Costelow.
Clarence (known as Robert) did marry Amy Jane Garrett on the 16 Sept. 1889. My uncle, Raymond Masters, can still remember going to visit Clarence at his home at 4 Weston Place, Northampton (now St Peter's Way) when he was a boy.
Do you have any information on Clarence's birth in Malta? I have drawn a blank trying to get a copy B.Cert.
Both Clarence and his father Frederick died at the Northampton Workhouse and are both buried in unmarked graves at Billing Road Cemetary in the town. A sad end I think.
Emma (d of Joseph and Mary) married a William ?Jesse Slater on the 24 December 1855 at Brampton.
Incidentally, Samuel Masters (Joseph's dad) was also buried at Brampton but I wasn't able to find a headstone for him. The burial record says that he was buried on the 30 April 1832 and that he had been Clerk of Church Brampton for 26 years.
Hope this is helpful. I can always send you photocopies of documents if you wish.
