She married Albert Yarrow who came from Thetford, Cambridgeshire on 9 December 1879 in the Church of St. John the Evangelist at Kilburn. At the time of the marriage Albert said he was living in Strand Street, Sandwich and Esther at 9 Cambridge Street, South, one presumes that this was in or near Kilburn. The witnesses to the wedding are interesting as they were Alice Mary, her sister, and Henry Harding, Charlotte's widower. In 1881 Albert and Esther were living at 17 Strand Street in the district of St. Peter in Sandwich. Albert was aged 28 and working as a Clerk in a wine merchant's store.

In 1910 she was living still at Strand Street with her husband. Hilda and Ethel visited her most years and Douglas Browne met her when later she was living in Deal.

Esther died a widow on 5 April 1941 aged 86, in the mental hopstial, St. Cuthbert out in Wells. She was evacuated there because of the Second World War. Her death was registered by the superintendent.

According to her Will, signed in 1931, she had been living at Trevlyn, Dover Road, Walmer. The Will was proved to the surviving executor, her solicitor. She left GB3,024 gross making GB2,490 net. The other two executors had been Charles Edward Brown, husband of her niece, Ethel, as well as Felix Dickeson Bolton, husband of her late niece, Mabel Alice Bolton.

Esther left GB20 to her godchild Daisy Louisa Bussey. GB20 each to her nieces, Esther Jennings, Doris Kennett and Mabel Annie Collier, and GB20 to Vera Carpenter, spinster of King Street, Sandwich. The rest of the money was shared between Ethel Mary Brown, Hilda Milly Browne and the children of Mabel Bolton deceased. In a codicil she left GB200 to Daisy Bussey of Effingham, Dover in addition to the GB20 previously left her and GB30 to a friend. 		KENNETT, Esther Jane (I4765)

Does anyone know of a William, Richard and Samuel MAPLESDEN in the vicinity of Tonbridge, Kent around 1690? Also an Anne MAPLESDEN, nee WELLER, married to another William. They are mentioned in the will of Richard WELLER of Tewdley (now Tudeley) in 1688, proved by his brother-in-law William MAPLESDEN in 1692. The first William and Richard and Samuel are referred to as 'cousins.'

Any help appreciated,
Richard

In Reply to: Re: Maplesden in Kent, England in 1690 by Keith Maplesden of 93

Thanks Keith. You ask the name of Richard of Tudeley's wife, but it would seem that he was unmarried. He doesn't mention wife or children in his will. So I am assuming that his executor 'William MAPLESDEN my brother-in-law' was his sister's husband (and not wife's brother.) He made bequests to 'my cousins William MAPLESDEN Richard MAPLESDEN Samuel MAPLESDEN .... and Anne MAPLESDEN' but it needs to be borne in mind that in 1688 the use of the term 'cousin' did not necessarily mean a first cousin as we would use the term today.

Thanks Gill. Richard WELLER's sister could indeed have been a widow when she married William MAPLESDEN. Unfortunately I have not yet found a likely sister and brother Ann and William WELLER and so from that the marriage of Ann.

A difficulty is that I do not know where or when the testator Richard WELLER of Tudeley was born. I do not even have a record of his burial, which might give a clue to his age, though unlikely in C17. He probably died in 1692, as his will was proved in June that year. Unfortunately the Tudeley PRs are not on the IGI and I live too far away to visit Sussex and Kent archives.

I greatly appreciate your effort on my behalf, Keith and Gill.

Richard

Richard,
Keith Maplesden has drawn my attention to your enquiry.
I have a record of a Richard and a Samuel Maplesden born 1691 and 1693 to a Richard and a Sarah. They were born in Lamberhurst, Kent.
I have also noticed a record for a William christened 6/3/1699 in Tonbridge to a William and Ann. I don't however have any links to the Weller family that far back.
I might suggest that you contact the Lamberhurst Registry Office for any assistance they my have as well as finding out the Lamberhurst local Parish council who may well have a local historian that could help; again, likewise for Tonbridge. Most of my family reseach has been around the Medway/Maidstone area of Kent.
Hope this helps.

1713-The daughter Elizabeth m John AVANN of Beckely, Sussex in Canterbury at St Mary Bredman.
I have no further records on this Maplesden family.
Does anyone have info on this family or associated families?

Actually, I would be interested in specific information re any MAPLESDENs in Sussex/Kent area .

The name is sometimes spelled MAPLISDEN or variants in the older records.

I have extensive AVANN info, and would welcome hearing from any Avanns as well.

Thank you,

=======================================================================
Last name: Maplesden
This uncommon surname, having long associations with Kent, is of Anglo-Saxon origin, and is a locational name from some minor, unrecorded, or now "lost" place believed to have been situated in Kent because of the high incidence of early surname recordings from that county. The component elements of the placename are the Olde English pre 7th Century "mapul", Middle English "mapel", maple, also forming the first element of Maplescombe, south east of Eynsford in Kent, and the Olde English "denn", pasture. "Denn", a widely occurring second element of placenames in the Kent and Sussex Weald district, generally indicated old pasture land. Locational surnames were originally given to local landowners, and the lord of the manor, and especially as a means of identification to those who left their birthplace (either voluntarily or otherwise) to settle elsewhere. One Stephen de Mapplisden was recorded in the 1273 Hundred Rolls of Kent, and on August 2nd 1545, Thomas Maplesden and Joanne Nyghtyngale were married at All Saints, Maidstone, Kent. A Coat of Arms granted to the Maplesden family depicts a silver cross formee fitchee on a black shield. Two arms embowed in armour proper sustaining on a gold staff, a red flag flotant to the sinister, emerging from an azure mural crown, forms the Crest. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of William de Mapplesden, which was dated 1272, in the "Hundred Rolls of Kent", during the reign of King Edward 1, known as "The Hammer of the Scots", 1272 - 1307. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

1468 eville's father was slain fighting for the Lancastrians at the Battle of Towton on 29 March 1461, and attainted on 4 November of that year. On 6 October 1472 Ralph Neville obtained the reversal of his father's attainder and the restoration of the greater part of his estates, and thereby became Lord Neville (1459 creation).[2]

On 18 April 1475 Neville was created a Knight of the Bath together with the sons of King Edward IV.[3] He was a justice of the peace in Durham.[citation needed] For his 'good services against the rebels', on 23 March 1484 King Richard III granted Neville manors in Somerset and Berkshire and the reversion of lands which had formerly belonged to Margaret, Countess of Richmond.[4] In September 1484 he was a commissioner to keep the truce with Scotland.[5] On 3 November 1484 his uncle, Ralph Neville, 2nd Earl of Westmorland, died, and Neville succeeded as 3rd Earl of Westmorland and Lord Neville (1295 creation).[6]

After the Yorkist defeat at Bosworth, Westmorland entered into bonds to the new King, Henry VII, of £400 and 400 marks, and on 5 December 1485, he gave custody (and the approval of the marriage of his eldest son and heir), Ralph Neville (d.1498), to the King.[7]

Westmorland held a command in the army sent into Scotland in 1497[8] after James IV supported the pretensions to the crown of Perkin Warbeck.[9]

Death[edit]
Westmorland's eldest son died in 1498. Westmorland died at Hornby Castle, Yorkshire, the seat of his son-in-law, Sir William Conyers, on 6 February 1499, allegedly of grief for his son's death, and was buried in the parish church there.[10] His grandson, Ralph Neville, succeeded to the earldom as 4th Earl of Westmorland.

Marriage and issue[edit]
Before 20 February 1473 Neville married Isabel, the daughter of Roger Booth, esquire, and niece of Lawrence Booth, Archbishop of York, by whom he had a son and a daughter:[11]

Ralph Neville, Lord Neville (d. 1498). As noted above, on 5 December 1485 his father had granted his custody (and the approval of the marriage of his eldest son) to the King. Accordingly, Ralph Neville married firstly, in the presence of King Henry VII and his Queen, Elizabeth of York, Mary Paston (born 19 January 1470), the eldest daughter of William Paston by Anne Beaufort, daughter of Edmund Beaufort, 2nd Duke of Somerset. She died of measles at court about Christmas 1489. There were no issue of the marriage. Ralph Neville married secondly, again in the royal presence, Edith Sandys (d. 22 August 1529), sister of William Sandys, 1st Baron Sandys, by whom he had two sons, Ralph Neville, 4th Earl of Westmorland, and a son who died young, as well as a daughter, Isabel, who married firstly, Sir Robert Plumpton, and secondly, Lawrence Kighley, esquire. After Neville's death in 1498, his widow, Edith, married Thomas Darcy, 1st Baron Darcy of Darcy, who was beheaded on Tower Hill 30 June 1537.[12]
Anne Neville, who married firstly William Conyers, 1st Baron Conyers, and secondly, Anthony Saltmarsh.[13]

Household official, prob. by 1537; j.p. Kent from c.1554, rem. by 1582, sheriff 1555-6, 1564-5.2
Biography
In May 1540, over a year after his father’s death, Kempe was granted livery of his lands in Kent, and by his second marriage, and by purchase, he increased his property in the county until he was a considerable landowner. His inquisition post mortem gives a long list of Kent manors, including the Moyle inheritance in the Bonnington district, and land in Crundale, Olantigh, Stowting, Waltham and other parts of the county. In March 1549 he and his father-in-law, Sir Thomas Cheyne, received a joint grant of the manors of Tremworth and Fames, formerly belonging to the college of All Saints, Maidstone, with the advowson of Crundale rectory. After the death of Sir Thomas, Kempe bought the manor and castle of Chilham from the heir, Henry Cheyne .3
The first reference found to his court career is at Queen Jane Seymour’s funeral in November 1537, when he was one of the four ‘henchmen that sat upon the chariot horses’. He attended the Earl of Suffolk in the party which met Anne of Cleves on her arrival at Dover, and in the summer of 1543 Sir Thomas Cheyne asked that he should be sent to Guisnes, ‘to gain experience’. No details of any military service have been found. He was evidently in some household office during 1546, since two receipts survive, signed by him, for jugs and knives bought for the King.4After his knighthood at the beginning of Edward VI’s reign he may have retired from the court.
In Kent he was an important official for over 30 years, serving as justice of the peace, sheriff and commissioner for sewers, an office which he held as early as 1540. In 1552 he sat on the commission for church goods in the lathe of Shepway, and during Mary’s reign there are references to his providing post horses for King Philip on his way through Kent, and supervising the enrolment of troops and the erection of beacons when an invasion was expected in 1558. In September 1565 he was one of those who met Lady Cecilia of Sweden at Dover and escorted her on her way to London. He sat in Parliament once only, being chosen at a by-election on 6 Feb. 1559 to replace the county’s first choice, Sir Richard Sackville, who chose to sit for Sussex.
Kempe was a generous benefactor to his own district of Wye, maintaining an almshouse there ‘only upon his charity zeal’. Towards the end of his life he agreed to repave the north aisle of Wye church, where his ancestors were buried, at his own cost, his ‘sesses’ for church repairs being consequently remitted from 1588 to his death. Further afield he was perhaps less generous: in September 1561 he was reported for not having paid his £10 towards the loan for Rochester bridge.5
In 1564 all the Kent justices of the peace were described by the archbishop of Canterbury as at least ‘outwardly conformable’ in religion. However, after his third marriage Kempe began to cause the ecclesiastical authorities anxiety. In 1578 he and his wife were noted by the ecclesiastical visitors as not having received communion, Kempe was put off the commission of the peace, and in 1583 he and ‘divers of their families’ were charged with absenting themselves from church. Lady Kempe was ‘a hindrance to true religion [who] refuseth stubbornly to communicate’. Kempe died 7 Mar. 1591, and was buried at Wye, 22 Mar. His inquisition post mortem, taken in June the same year, gives the age of the heir, his son Thomas, as 39. Four of his five daughters married Elizabethan Members — Thomas Chicheley, William Cromer, Richard Lee and Thomas Shirley I.6

Tales of the reach of the Internet

Page 7
Like all new inventions and uses of technology the internet has both good and bad effects on our lives. It has become a vehicle for the publication of material that many of us would rather was not so readily available and made a ready communication system for criminals and terrorists. However it also has brought people together in a way that would have been hard to imagine when first devised. Here are some examples, with the first from Marian Kuyper. As many of you know I am married to a computer whizz kid but unfortunately for me I was for most of our married life a total techno phobe. I can remember a conversation some years ago when Bob asked me in sheer frustration when I would become interested in computers to which I replied “When I can type in my shopping list and the shopping gets delivered to the door”, I never in my wildest dreams thought this would happen but it has and I am delighted. Another delight for me is email, so instant and so easy, no buying stamps no trips to the post box, no rushing to catch the last post and knowing it would take at least a day to reach the intended person. The internet is indeed a wonderful invention.You can imagine my delight when out of the blue a few weeks ago I received the following email from a total stranger in Australia.

“I notice from your church's website that you are the Church Secretary of Linford Methodist Church and I've taken the liberty of emailing you to see if you or anyone there can shed any light or background on my grandfather, John Hender Hooper. My name is Wes Hooper and I live about 100 kms north of Sydney in Australia.I have in my possession a copy of the Grays Circuit Plan of Public Religious Services from 1906, showing my grandfather listed as a Chapel Steward at your Linford church. I was pleasantly surprised to read on the church history summary on the website that he was also Sunday School Superintendent at the time of building your church (laying one of the memorial stones) and, from a Sunday School bookprize of one of his daughters (ie, one of my aunts), he was also (or still) Superintendent in 1907. The family emigrated to Australia in 1913.

Page 8
I am also curious that the minister from 1929 - 1932 was a Rev E H Lawrence - I am wondering whether he was a relative of John Hender Hooper’s wife (Emily Mercy Lawrence before her marriage), althoughI've not been able to find him or any link between them on Ancestry.com. Perhaps you may know or be able to readily find out his Christian names.I realise that this is a VERY long time ago but I am wondering if there is any readily accessible information that you may be aware of that gives any further background on any of this. By the way, I am Church Secretary of our local (in Australia) Baptist church, having also been Church Treasurer and also been on our church's Eldership for a 6 year term. Also, the aunt that I mentioned above became a senior Salvation Army Officer in Australia, from the1930s till her retirement in the 1960s, so obviously the Sunday School lessons at your church stayed with her and impacted the rest of the family over the years!

Kind regards
Wes Hooper

”It is marvellous to see that seeds of faith that were sown in the small village of Linford all those years ago travelled the world and survive to this day.
Marian

Some of you may remember last month the news of our new friend in
Australia, Wes Hooper. I took the liberty of sending him the link for the
St. Catherine website so he could read Pewtalk. Pleased to report back
that he did and he was very pleased to see that St. Catherine’s support
the Samaritans Purse as well. His Church has just sent off 395 boxes
their best effort ever. Although it was some 14 years ago Bob and I
were in Australia we were surprised on our travels that, even if the town
we were driving through only had a handful of properties, every town
had a police station and at least one large thriving Church 		HOOPER, John Hender (I15390)
