1 CONC Text from an unpublished manuscript by Rowland William (Bill) Serjeantso
1 CONC n. 1992
1 CONT
1 CONT "REV WILLIAM SERJEANTSON 1836 - 1924
1 CONT Grandfather was born on 14 February 1836 some two-and-a-half months aft
1 CONC er the death of his father. Great-grandmother went back to England and rem
1 CONC arried her first cousin, Arthur Wills in 1840.
1 CONT
1 CONT In those days it was said there were only three occupations open to gentle
1 CONC men. If your son was clever, the law; if strong, the army; and if neith
1 CONC er clever nor strong, the church! Grandfather must have been an exceptio
1 CONC n, for although both strong and reasonably clever, he took `Holy Orders
1 CONC '. He was an Exhibitioner of Balliol College, Oxford BA.MA and was ordain
1 CONC ed as priest in 1860. He became Rector of Acton Burnell in 1862; a livi
1 CONC ng he held for 60 years. See photos of church.
1 CONT
1 CONT Being a son of a mere army captain he was not well off; however, he marri
1 CONC ed Emily Meyricke from an old Welsh family somewhat more affluent. The sti
1 CONC pend (income) of Acton Burnell was only ú5.00 per week. Grandfather's life
1 CONC style could easily absorb three times their total income. 
1 CONT
1 CONT COUNTRY LIFE IN THE 19TH CENTURY
1 CONT For those on the `right side of the metamorphical fence", life in the 180
1 CONC 0s must have been pretty good; for those on the wrong side, awful. Parso
1 CONC ns like my Grandfather were on the fringe of the good life; they mixed wi
1 CONC th the wealthy land owners, went to the same University etc. However the
1 CONC ir social aspirations were much curtailed by paucity of income; in short t
1 CONC hey often lived beyond their means. Grandfather was no exception.
1 CONT
1 CONT Before the 1915 War, the staff at the Rectory included three maids, a coo
1 CONC k, a gardener-come-coachman and an additional gardener. The War result
1 CONC ed in inflation and the introduction of income tax, causing the sta
1 CONC ff to be reduced to one maid, a cook and a gardener. The horses were reduc
1 CONC ed to a pony and trap and the gardens reduced in size and the tennis cou
1 CONC rt abolished.
1 CONT
1 CONT In the early 1920s (when I knew them) the rectory gardens were still exten
1 CONC sive. There was a large `kitchen garden', an orchard including a walk-in `
1 CONC fruit cage', protecting raspberries, strawberries, loganberries, black- a
1 CONC nd red-currants, etc. Peaches grew espaliered against south-facing brick w
1 CONC alls and there was a large conservatory. 
1 CONT
1 CONT As a child I can remember the gardener, John Marston, moulding new form
1 CONC al garden designs using a mixture of mud and cow manure, on which were gro
1 CONC wn fine displays of colourful annuals (See photo).
1 CONT Grandfather was one of the last of the breed of sporting parsons. He ro
1 CONC de with the hounds, fox hunted; and was one of the best shots in England w
1 CONC ith the result that he was invited to `shoots' all over the country. Indee
1 CONC d, he once went to Russia to shoot at a Russian's Prince's Estate, all exp
1 CONC enses paid. I remember a bearskin `mat', complete with head, on the Recto
1 CONC ry `morning-room' floor - a trophy of his 
1 CONT Russian visit. In later life, he was invited as usual to a `shoot' by t
1 CONC he local squire, Sir Walter Smyth, whose extensive estate and deer park ad
1 CONC joined the Rectory. Sir Walter, who was a bad shot, had wounded, but not k
1 CONC illed, a stag. Grandfather went into the thicket to put the animal o
1 CONC ut of its misery, when 
1 CONT the excitable Sir Walter decided to have another shot. He peppered Grandfa
1 CONC ther with lead and amongst other things, blew Grandfather's nose off. Yea
1 CONC rs later when I came to live at the Rectory as a small child, I can reca
1 CONC ll being terrified of Granddad. He used to have a pink celluloid nose he
1 CONC ld precariously in place by black elastic bands to the back of his head. W
1 CONC hen he got agitated, which was fairly often, the nose would fly off and di
1 CONC splay two holes. Grandfather was intimidating enough at the best of times.
1 CONT
1 CONT A `G0-GETTING' PARSON
1 CONT The new vicar of Acton Burnell was a man of action. The church built in 12
1 CONC 00 AD was in a serious state of disrepair. Normally the local Squire cou
1 CONC ld be relied upon to find the money, however, the Smyths of Acton Burne
1 CONC ll were Catholics and therefore could not be expected to donate more th
1 CONC an a token amount to the restoration of the Church of England. Undeterre
1 CONC d, Grandfather set about the task with great energy. He found, for instanc
1 CONC e, that they were able to sell the lead in the roof for enough money to re
1 CONC place the roof 
1 CONT timbers which had been ravaged by the death-watch beetle. The church had h
1 CONC igh box pews, preventing the priest from seeing who was asleep during h
1 CONC is sermon, so they were cut down.
1 CONT
1 CONT Uncle Frank carved the ends of the new pews, the choir stalls, the very de
1 CONC corative pulpit and the background to the altar (See photo). A new organ w
1 CONC as installed which was ably played by my Aunt Marian. Few rectors and the
1 CONC ir families have ever done so much for their church and all with limited 
1 CONT financial resources. Thousands of daffodils were planted in the church yar
1 CONC d; today buses come from Shrewsbury in the spring, not so much for the occ
1 CONC asional service, but to see the flowers.
1 CONT
1 CONT When Grandfather came to the village in 1862 the houses had no running wat
1 CONC er. There was a Roman road going up a nearby hill. A stopping point on t
1 CONC he hill was a natural spring, no doubt where, in 75 AD the Roman soldie
1 CONC rs would have watered their horses. Grandfather organised the wat
1 CONC er to be piped to the village enabling the inhabitants to enjoy a consta
1 CONC nt supply of water absolutely free. Who financed it, I don't know, perha
1 CONC ps this time he `conned' the Smyth family to meet the bill.
1 CONT
1 CONT Unfortunately in 1990 church-going in England is almost a thing of the pas
1 CONC t, with the result that many village churches and church yards are in disr
1 CONC epair. Acton Burnell no longer has a resident Church of England or Cathol
1 CONC ic priest. The population of this Shropshire village has remained almost s
1 CONC tatic. Like so many similar places the people have left the countryside th
1 CONC ey love, to find work in the cities.
1 CONT
1 CONT By good fortune, the Lee family ruled the area in the 16th century. They w
1 CONC ere ancestors of the famous American General, Robert E Lee, leader of t
1 CONC he Confederate Army, during the Civil War. The church has a magnificent to
1 CONC mb belonging to the Lee Family. (Refer LHS of photo of the interior of t
1 CONC he church). 
1 CONT
1 CONT A rich charity known as the `Sisters of Virginia' has a project called `Pi
1 CONC lgrims Way' dedicated to the preservation of historic links with Great Bri
1 CONC tain. Acton Burnell Church comes under their ambit and is left in beautif
1 CONC ul condition. "God Bless the Yanks", no, I should say the Confederates.
1 CONT
1 CONT Grandfather, complete with nose, is on the right of the tennis group. I ca
1 CONC nnot identify most of the others. The lady with the tennis racket is Au
1 CONC nt Marian. On another page is a Sunday School Picnic held in the paddock b
1 CONC ehind the Rectory around 1910?
1 CONT
1 CONT It will be seen that it was not all shooting, hunting, fishing and playi
1 CONC ng tennis. The Parson had many secular duties to perform. The farmers a
1 CONC nd villagers had only a very basic education. The Rector was nearer to t
1 CONC he people than the Squire. They would therefore approach the `Reverend' wi
1 CONC th their day-to- day problems such as the rotation of crops, cross-breedi
1 CONC ng of cattle and of sheep etc. This was an area in which Grandfather had s
1 CONC ome expertise. He was a judge at Crufts Dog Show and a founder member of t
1 CONC he famous Shrewsbury Flower Show.
1 CONT
1 CONT Grandmother died early (1903) and Aunt Marion took her place. Over and abo
1 CONC ve running the household, there were a lot of church- related matters, su
1 CONC ch as teaching in Sunday School and religious studies at the village schoo
1 CONC l. She took food to the impoverished and visited the sick besides worki
1 CONC ng for such institutions as the `Waifs and Strays' and `Dr Barnados'. T
1 CONC he clergy, despite taking part in fox and badger hunting, were in some wa
1 CONC ys environmentalists. You have only to read such works as Morris' Briti
1 CONC sh Birds to realise much of the sightings and documentation was made by t
1 CONC he clergy; Uncle 
1 CONT Frank, for instance was an expert on butterflies. My father used to tell s
1 CONC tories about my Grandfather, two of them particularly appeal:
1 CONT
1 CONT `One day Grandfather was in the middle of a Sunday sermon when two boys st
1 CONC arted squabbling. The Rector put down his notes, descended from the pulpi
1 CONC t; picked up the boys by the scruff of the neck, one dangling from each ar
1 CONC m, and walked slowly down the length of the church, and threw them o
1 CONT the north door. Walking back with great dignity and after ascending the pu
1 CONC lpit, he said, "now where were we."
1 CONT
1 CONT Soon after having been appointed Rector at the age of 26, he had to atte
1 CONC nd the Church Synod. During the lunch break he was heard to remark "that t
1 CONC he Bishop of Shrewsbury was a pompous, incompetent, old ass". Some `crawle
1 CONC r', wishing to get on, reported him to the Bishop who foolishly demand
1 CONC ed a public apology. Grandfather got up before all assembled and said "
1 CONC My Lord Bishop I have stated `that you are a pompous, incompetent, old ass
1 CONC '. I am sorry for it." Thus rendering the meeting uncertain as to wheth
1 CONC er he was `sorry for making the statement' or whether he was sorry that t
1 CONC he Diocese of Shrewsbury was encumbered with a POMPOUS, INCOMPETENT, OLD A
1 CONC SS of a Bishop! He made his point, but it could have had bearing on the fa
1 CONC ct that he never rose any further up the Church of England ecclesiastic
1 CONC al ladder! We Serjeantsons have a habit of speaking our minds on occasio
1 CONC ns when it would have been 
1 CONT wiser to keep our mouths shut!"

1 CONT "A ROLLING STONE: CHARLES ROWLAND SERJEANTSON 1866 - 1945
1 CONT When Charles told his father he was fed up with his desk job and intend
1 CONC ed to go to America he was told, "Son, a rolling stone gathers no moss
1 CONC ". to which Charles replied, "maybe, but it gets a dam good polish".
1 CONT In the event they were both right, particularly the "gathering no moss" bi
1 CONC t. My father made quite a bit of money at various times but during my upbr
1 CONC inging we were as poor as the proverbial church mouse.
1 CONT My father told me that the social life in Liverpool was not sufficie
1 CONC nt to offset the dreariness of a cotton broker's office. Social life inclu
1 CONC ded tennis (my father won a few cups), theatre, and dances (which were int
1 CONC eresting because they were held in the hold of Brunel's famous ship, `T
1 CONC he Great Eastern'). This colossal ship was the wonder of the world - 692
1 CONC ft long, 82ft beam. She had both paddle wheels and screw propulsion, wi
1 CONC th six masts and 6500 square yards of sail! The paddle wheels were driv
1 CONC en by two 3411 HP steam engines and the 27 ft diameter propeller by a 48
1 CONC 86 HP engine. She proved to be uneconomic and was last used to lay the fir
1 CONC st Transatlantic cable from the UK to America. The holds were stripp
1 CONC ed to accommodate the huge `reel' of cable. After the job was successful
1 CONC ly completed the giant was `laid up' in 
1 CONT Liverpool and the cable `room' used as a huge ball room. (See photo).
1 CONT
1 CONT THE NEW WORLD
1 CONT Unfortunately when leaving for Australia I foolishly threw out much fami
1 CONC ly memorabilia including all my father's photo albums of Canada and U
1 CONC SA - only six photos were retained. In 1887 my father moved to Florida, US
1 CONC A. At the time land costs were next to nothing and my father took up pinea
1 CONC pple farming with some success, so much so that Uncle Reg gave up ranchi
1 CONC ng in Argentina and joined Dad in 1889. I am not sure exactly where they f
1 CONC armed, but I know Dad was an early member of the Hope Sound Yacht Club (ne
1 CONC ar Miami?), now a prestigious establishment. Dad used to sail to Cuba to b
1 CONC uy pineapple ships. I kept photographs of his yacht `The Eta May' whi
1 CONC ch he largely built himself. It was a yawl with a fair-sized cabin divid
1 CONC ed by a centre board; (necessary to negotiate shallow reefs). (See photo
1 CONC ). 
1 CONT
1 CONT Somewhere around 1899 Florida experienced the worst frosts in living memo
1 CONC ry and which were not matched for another 30 years. In consequence all t
1 CONC he farmers (including my father) went broke. Around this time the real est
1 CONC ate boom bust and the banks became insolvent. Uncle Reg who by now had a f
1 CONC amily, went back to England. My father, still a bachelor, liked the clima
1 CONC te and the way of life, decided to `soldier on', at one time getting a two
1 CONC -year job measuring tides for the authority which was building the Flori
1 CONC da Keys railway. To do this he lived in the ETA MAY; my father was a ve
1 CONC ry tidy man, and he put that down to living in a small cabin for two year
1 CONC s. To get the job, he had to become an American citizen. At one time he h
1 CONC ad a small photography business, making his own plates. And once when thin
1 CONC gs were at a low ebb, he drove a tram during a strike (in Jacksonvill
1 CONC e, I think). He soon gave that job away when the strikers threw bricks thr
1 CONC ough the windows.
1 CONT
1 CONT Dad could never attribute any base motives to anybody. I never heard him s
1 CONC ay ill of anyone. This blind faith in ones fellow man resulted in my fath
1 CONC er being `taken down' and cheated throughout his life. No more so th
1 CONC an in the rough and tumble of the New World.
1 CONT
1 CONT BRITISH COLUMBIA
1 CONT Eventually he naturalised British again and moved to a less competitive pl
1 CONC ace. Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. The province was well nam
1 CONC ed because it is very British to this day. Vancouver Island in 1990 is mo
1 CONC re English that the English. Dad settled in the island capital, Victoria.
1 CONT
1 CONT GOLD
1 CONT Early island settlers had reported that Indians in the north of the isla
1 CONC nd wore large gold nuggets about their person. My father and his brother-i
1 CONC n-law set out to locate where the precious metal came from. Streams in th
1 CONC is area showed plenty of evidence of small quantities of gold. One of the
1 CONC se streams had a lower waterfall, and logic decreed that the deep pool bel
1 CONC ow would contain much gold. There were no aqualungs in those days, so t
1 CONC he only thing to do was to divert the stream and pump the pool dry. Aft
1 CONC er months of work they achieved their objective but the bottom of the po
1 CONC ol yielded no gold.
1 CONT
1 CONT In 1908 my father married Lucy Gower Curtis, daughter of Captain Curtis, R
1 CONC oyal Navy. (See photo). One's mother's genes are equally important as one
1 CONC 's father's so I will include some background on the interesting Curtis fa
1 CONC mily later on. My father was involved in real estate and did well for a ti
1 CONC me, enabling him to have an extended honeymoon in England on the occasi
1 CONC on of the Coronation of King George V 
1 CONT in 1910.
1 CONT
1 CONT The real estate boom bust in 1918 and so did my father, yet again. Dad w
1 CONC as what in Australia we call an owner builder, probably helped by his brot
1 CONC her-in-law, George Curtis, who was an architect. I was born on 17 May, 191
1 CONC 5, in the house he built in Cook Street, Victoria. (See photo). During h
1 CONC is last years in Canada, my father turned to his real love, gardenin
1 CONC g. He had a nursery business in Burnside Road. He specialised in alpine pl
1 CONC ants (rock gardens etc). He helped Mrs Bouchart lay out and stock her n
1 CONC ow famous gardens in her husband's Old Quarry in Victoria.
1 CONT
1 CONT AUTOMOBILE TRANSPORT IN CANADA (1915-1920)
1 CONT Dad's first `car' was a 1910 AC `Sociable' three-wheeler. It had a 5 HP si
1 CONC ngle cylinder, air-cooled engine driving the back wheel which incorporat
1 CONC ed a two-speed epicyclic gear box in the wheel's hub. It had no reverse: y
1 CONC ou had to get out and turn the vehicle around. In his garage he got over t
1 CONC he problem by installing a turntable (See photo). The nursery required som
1 CONC ething bigger for delivery purposes so he bought a second-hand EMF not not
1 CONC ed for reliability so his Chinese foreman said "EMF - Every Morning Fix Hi
1 CONC m". (See photo). Around 1919 he traded it in on a more reliable used ca
1 CONC r, a National Chevrolet 490. This famous car did for General Motors what t
1 CONC he Model T did for Ford. By 1927 Chevrolet passed Ford, selling a milli
1 CONC on cars.
1 CONT
1 CONT 1920 A VERY BAD PERIOD
1 CONT My father had a series of business setbacks but worse, my mother develop
1 CONC ed cancer. My father, clutching for hope, became a Christian Scientis
1 CONC t. Of course, it was a vain hope and Mother died, aged 51, in 1921. I w
1 CONC as 6 at the time. Father, at a low ebb, lost heart. Grandfather wrote sayi
1 CONC ng if we came back to England "he would pay for my education", meani
1 CONC ng at a greater Public School. Public Schools in England are absurdly nam
1 CONC ed because they are anything but public, and are in fact the privile
1 CONC ge of the rich.
1 CONT My father sold up in Canada, but by the time mortgages were paid, he had v
1 CONC ery little left. Returning to live in the English country Rectory on
1 CONC ly to find Grandfather was living in a dream world, he could not raise a p
1 CONC enny for my education. Leaving Canada was the worst thing Dad ever did.
1 CONT One good thing happened; Dad could not afford to ship the `Chev' to the U
1 CONC K, so he told his friends to `get what they could for it'. Instead they ra
1 CONC ised money and sent the car to England. The first he heard of it was advi
1 CONC ce that it was awaiting collection at Liverpool Docks. Although ha
1 CONC rd up we had the second car in Acton Burnell. Grandfather, however, wou
1 CONC ld not venture in any vehicle not pulled by a horse.

1 CONT Text from an unpublished manuscript by Rowland William (Bill) Serjeantso
1 CONC n. 1992
1 CONT
1 CONT "AN EARLY MIGRANT TO AUSTRALIA
1 CONT William Serjeantson was born in Yorkshire on 10 November 1796. At the a
1 CONC ge of 16 he joined the 28th Regiment as Ensign and fought against Napole
1 CONC on in Spain and at the famous battles of Quatre Bras and Waterloo. (See ph
1 CONC oto)The photograph was taken by my father of an etching which in turn is f
1 CONC rom a painting by Lady Butler in the United Kingdom National Gallery. Th
1 CONC is was of course only an artist's 
1 CONT impression of the battle. The family interest is because great-grandfath
1 CONC er was the man holding the flag in the action in question. In those days t
1 CONC he youngest lieutenant in the regiment had the honour of holding the fla
1 CONC g. Older members knowing that he would be a prime target! Prime targ
1 CONC et or not, the French did not manage to kill great- grandfather, who g
1 CONC ot a medal and was given a portion of the captured French flag.
1 CONT
1 CONT In 1822 he exchanged to the 40th Regiment becoming a captain in 1829. He s
1 CONC erved in NSW 1824-1825, Van Diemans Land (Tasmania) 1825 - 29; India 18
1 CONC 29 - 1833. He married Marian Willis at her parents' home of `Wansted Par
1 CONC k' near Launceston (1826). He obviously liked what he saw of Tasmania beca
1 CONC use on retirement he decided to retire there. He bought, or more likely, w
1 CONC as granted, one thousand acres of land near Cambelltown. It is easy to s
1 CONC ee why he picked the location. The river and valley and undulating 
1 CONT countryside would have reminded him of the family home in Yorkshire. 
1 CONT
1 CONT Here in 1833 great-grandfather built a house which he named Hanlith, aft
1 CONC er the original family home in Hanlith, Bellbush, Yorkshire. The English h
1 CONC ouse as he would have known it is shown in the print. Later, towards the e
1 CONC nd of the 19th century, the house was enlarged and extended to the right h
1 CONC and side, refer photo taken in 1930. Another photograph is of my Aunt Mari
1 CONC an and three unknown fellows outside the front door (1900s).
1 CONT
1 CONT We are lucky in having a photo of the original Tasmanian house, see phot
1 CONC o, because cracks developed in the end walls and the building was demolish
1 CONC ed in the 1930s. It was replaced by a wooden structure which was in turn b
1 CONC urnt down.
1 CONT
1 CONT A lovely modern brick house stands on the original foundations. The proper
1 CONC ty is currently owned by the Freemans who bought it in 1957. They kindly s
1 CONC howed Joan and I over the place in 1989.
1 CONT
1 CONT Our first family migrant to Australia did not live very long to enjoy h
1 CONC is retirement. On 30 November 1835 he decided to ride the eight miles fr
1 CONC om his house at Hanlith to his father-in-law's property `Wanstead Park' wh
1 CONC ere his pregnant wife was visiting. On his way he was murdered by a bush r
1 CONC anger named Hunt. Press cuttings and extract from the book `The Bushranger
1 CONC s' vary in detail but not in substance, see 
1 CONT news cuttings. 1988 was Australia's Bi-Centenary, so Joan and I (now natur
1 CONC alised Australians) decided that it was an appropriate time to visit my gr
1 CONC eat-grandfather's grave, and erect a small commemorative plaque. He had be
1 CONC en buried in what was at the time the `Wanstead' property. Over the yea
1 CONC rs Wanstead was broken up and the grave is now in the adjacent Taylor's 10
1 CONC ,000 acre property. 
1 CONT
1 CONT When we visited the Taylors, Mr John Taylor (Senior), a man in his late 8
1 CONC 0s was able to advise his son John Taylor as to the whereabouts of the gra
1 CONC ve. He told us there used to be some sort of building above an undergrou
1 CONC nd vault. However, the locals had used the stones, amongst other things, f
1 CONC or building a dog kennel! 
1 CONT
1 CONT John Taylor (Junior) drove us to the site which is in rough terrain and on
1 CONC ly distinguished by a slight dome-shaped mound. Here we dug a hole and ere
1 CONC cted the plaque. I wonder whether my grandchildren will visit the place? (

1 CONT
1 CONT June 24th, 1815  
1 CONT
1 CONT My dearest Mary,
1 CONT
1 CONT Before this letter reaches you, you will, from the papers, have heard of o
1 CONC ur great actions of the 16th and 18th out of both of which I have escape
1 CONC d. I am at present as well as ever I was in my life although we have had m
1 CONC ost severe marches we having followed the enemy almost night and day sin
1 CONC ce the last action.  We lost in both actions 22 officers killed and wound
1 CONC ed and upwards of 200 men.  My company alone lost 2 officers and 22 men wo
1 CONC unded and 4 men killed.  We are at present about a league on the Paris si
1 CONC de of Valenciennes.  We don't expect to have another action till we arri
1 CONC ve at Paris where we shall be in less than a fortnight and where Bone inte
1 CONC nds making his last stand.  We killed his brother Jerome and Vandamme on t
1 CONC he 18th.  The mail is going.  I will write you a full account the first ha
1 CONC lt, until when adieu.  Give my best love to all at home and complimen
1 CONC ts to who you please, and believe me, Dearest Mary,
1 CONT
1 CONT Ever affectionate Brother,
1 CONT W. Serjeantson.
1 CONT I am in the Dispatches recommended for a Lieutenancy which you may expe
1 CONC ct to see in the first Gazette.
1 CONT
1 CONT With this letter he enclosed a small portion of one of the French colour
1 CONC s, which is now in the possession of his son, the Rev.W.Serjeantson of Act
1 CONC on Burnell.  It doubtless formed part of the "flag belonging to the 25th F
1 CONC rench Regiment taken by Private John O'Brien of the 28th Regt., who the mo
1 CONC ment after received a severe wound which ultimately occasioned the lo
1 CONC ss of his leg.  The trophy however was preserved, and sent to Major-Gener
1 CONC al Sir James Kempt, who commanded the Division, when the Regiment arriv
1 CONC ed at Paris."*
1 CONT
1 CONT William Serjeantson received the promised Lieutenancy on July 19th, 181
1 CONC 5, and remained in France with his regiment till they returned to Englan
1 CONC d, March, 1817.  The strength of the Regiment was then reduced to a pea
1 CONC ce footing, and he was placed on half pay.  In 1822 (Dec. 5) he exchang
1 CONC ed into the 40th Regt. on full pay (by paying the difference)and became Ca
1 CONC ptain 17 Dec., 1829.  He served in New South Wales 14 June, 1824, to Ju
1 CONC ly 1825; Van Dieman's Land,  25 July, 1825-March 1829; India, 9 June, 18
1 CONC 29 till 1833, when he sold out and left the Regiment.  He then settl
1 CONC ed at Hanlith, Tasmania; but two years later was shot (30 Nov.,1835) at Gu
1 CONC ydores Bottom, Tasmania, when trying to ride down Hunt, a noted Bushrange
1 CONC r.  The following account of the capture of his murderer appeared in the L
1 CONC aunceston Observer..-
1 CONT
1 CONT CAPTURE OF CAPT. SERJEANTSON'S MURDERER.
1 CONT
1 CONT Particulars of the murder of Captain Serjeantson by a bushranger named Hu
1 CONC nt will be probably in the memory of our readers.  The ruffian has been ap
1 CONC prehended through the heroic conduct of a settler and his wife.  The follo
1 CONC wing extract of a letter will be read with interest.  " We are delight
1 CONC ed to communicate to the public the joyful intelligence that Hunt the bush
1 CONC ranger, the supposed murderer of the lamented Captain Serjeantson has be
1 CONC en apprehended on the Nile rivulet, by a man and his wife of the name of K
1 CONC err.  The conduct of this couple deserves, and no doubt will ensure the
1 CONC m, the highest consideration from the Government, as well as the than
1 CONC ks of the community.  It appears that Hunt came upon Kerr with a loaded pi
1 CONC stol while he was digging potatoes.  Hunt desired him to kneel down, and w
1 CONC hile in the act of pulling the trigger to shoot him Kerr sprang at him, se
1 CONC ized him by the throat, and threw him down.  In the struggle Hunt drew a p
1 CONC istol from his breast, when Kerr seized him by the wrist.  Hunt then dr
1 CONC ew another pistol and was in the act of discharging it when Kerr roared o
1 CONC ut murder and his wife came with a gun to his assistance.  Seeing the m
1 CONC en on the ground she exclaimed, " Which is you, Jem ? Shall I sho
1 CONC ot ? " " Yes, do!  " he replied.  The gun missed fire, the priming havi
1 CONC ng fallen out.  There was no more powder in the hut and she broke the sto
1 CONC ck of the gun on Hunt's head, repeating the blows until he surrendered him
1 CONC self."
1 CONT This is a noble instance of the courage woman possesses in extreme dange
1 CONC r. It appears that a reward Of £700 had been offered for the apprehensi
1 CONC on of the murderer, who since his imprisonment has died of the wounds infl
1 CONC icted upon him by Mrs. Kerr.
1 CONT
1 CONT Captain Serjeantson was married 23 Sept., 1826, by special licence, in t
1 CONC he drawing room of Wanstead Park, Tasmania, to Marianne Willis (daught
1 CONC er of Richard Willis, J.P., of Wanstead, Tasmania), born 27, Nov., 1803.

1 CONT
1 CONT
1 CONT Prescott was born in Lancashire in 1725 and sprang from a family who had l
1 CONC ost their estates owing to their opposition to the revolution of 1688.  Ad
1 CONC opting the profession of arms, he joined the 15th Regt. of Foot, and in I7
1 CONC 55 was gazetted a captain.  He served in the expedition against Rochefo
1 CONC rt in I757 and against Louisburg in 1758.  In the following year he was ad
1 CONC jutant to General Amherst and later served under the celebrated General Wo
1 CONC lfe. In I761 he took part in the attack on Martinique, and on the outbre
1 CONC ak of the American War of Independence he was present with the 28th Reg
1 CONC t. at the Battle of Long Island, and the storming of Fort Washington in 17
1 CONC 75.  He took part in the expedition against Philadelphia in I777, and foug
1 CONC ht at the Battle of Brandywine River.
1 CONT
1 CONT In 1789 he became colonel of the 28th Regt., an appointment which he he
1 CONC ld till his death.* In the autumn of I793 he was in command at Barbados, a
1 CONC nd in the following year captured the island of Martinique, of which he w
1 CONC as appointed governor.  He was a man of great determination and strongly r
1 CONC esented any interference with his rights.  An amusing instance of th
1 CONC is is found in an order to the troops when he was commanding in Martinique
1 CONC :-
1 CONT
1 CONT "Lieut.-General Prescott orders
1 CONT
1 CONT St. Pierres, 16 June, I794.
1 CONT Whereas Vice-Admiral Sir John Jervis has given orders, I am told, frequent
1 CONC ly here on shore, and particularly by note dated off Point Petre, June 11t
1 CONC h, I794, which must have arisen from great ignorance, or great presumpti
1 CONC on and arrogance.  If from ignorance, poor man! he is to be pitied, b
1 CONC ut if from presumption and arrogance he is to be checked.  It is therefo
1 CONC re Lt.-General Prescott's orders that in future no attention whatev
1 CONC er is to be given to such notes or orders and his signature to su
1 CONC ch to be as little regarded as that of John Oakes or Peter Styles!"
1 CONT
1 CONT In Martinique he was extremely popular, but failing health compelled h
1 CONC im to relinquish his command, and he returned to England in Feb., I79
1 CONC 5.  In April, 1796, Prescott was sent out as Governor of Canada and Nova S
1 CONC cotia; and New Brunswick were afterwards added to his command; In 17
1 CONC 99 he returned to England and settled down at Rose Green, near Battle, whe
1 CONC re he spent the last 16 years of his life. "A martinet he lived, and a mar
1 CONC tinet he died ; and his last whisper on his death-bed was to enquire wheth
1 CONC er there was a Hessian sentry at his door. He died 21 Dec 1815, at the ri
1 CONC pe age of 88, and was buried 28 Dec. in the old Church at Winchelsea. H
1 CONC is wife only survived him for a year and was buried by his side at Winchel
1 CONC sea 28 April, 1817, aged 74. 
1 CONT
1 CONT *"On the death of the late Robert Prescott, the General's grandson, the o
1 CONC ld colours Of thC 28th Regt. were found among his effects and return
1 CONC ed to the Regiment.  They had doubtless been worked by the fair finge
1 CONC rs of the old General's wife"  (Susannah Serjeantson). -Dalton's Waterl

1 CONT Dear Meyricke Serjeantson,

1 CONT I am researching and annotating the works of Elizabeth Boyd, an 18thc

1 CONT Colyear, 2nd Earl Portmore to the Duchess of Leeds.  Following is some
1 CONT information I have collected, which you may be interested in from a
1 CONT genealogical perspective:
1 CONT
1 CONT Juliana Hele, sometimes spelled Hale, Duchess of Leeds and Lady
1 CONT Portmore, was born about 1705, presumably in Halwell, Devonshire,
1 CONT England, and died 20
1 CONT November 1794 at Stratford Place, St. Marylebone, Middlesex. She was the
1 CONT daughter of Roger Hele of Halwell and Juliana Prestwood. She married, as
1 CONT his third
1 CONT wife, Peregrine Hyde Osborne, on 9 April 1725 and became Duchess of
1 CONT Leeds in 1729 when Peregrine acceded to the title. Peregrine died 9 May
1 CONT 1731 and the title
1 CONT passed to his son by his first wife. Juliana next married, on 7 October
1 CONT 1732, a year and a half after she was widowed, Charles Colyear, Earl of
1 CONT Portmore.
1 CONT
1 CONT Charles Colyear, 2nd Earl of Portmore, was born 27 August 1700 and died
1 CONT 5 July 1785 in St. Marylebone, Middlesex, England. He was the son of
1 CONT David Colyear,
1 CONT 1st Earl Portmore, and Catherine Sedley, Countess of Dorchester and
1 CONT Baroness of Darlington (and mistress to James II, by whom she had two
1 CONT children). He
1 CONT acceded to the title upon his father's death in 1730 and married Juliana
1 CONT Hele Osborne in 1732 (see above). According to the Dictionary of
1 CONT National Biography, "He
1 CONT was a great patron of the turf, and conspicuous in London society by the

1 CONT This parish lies westward of the river Swale, and in the rich and fruitf
1 CONC ul vale of Mowbray. The surface is an unpicturesque level, but the so
1 CONC il is fertile and produces good crops of wheat, barley, and turnips. The p
1 CONC arish comprises the townships of Burneston, Carthorpe, Exelby-Leeming a
1 CONC nd Newton, Gatenby, and Theakston, whose united area is 7,411 acres, of wh
1 CONC ich 1,185 acres belong to the township of Burneston. Its rateable val
1 CONC ue is £2,198. The inhabitants of the parish, who are chiefly employed in a
1 CONC griculture, in 1881, numbered 1,888, of whom 253 resided in the above town
1 CONC ship. The principal landowners are Villiers Dent, Esq., (lord of the manor
1 CONC ); the Hon. Mrs. Dawson-Damer, eldest surviving daughter of the late Lo
1 CONC rd Rokeby; W. D. Russell, Esq., and Mr. W. Dovenor, Burneston Grange. 
1 CONT
1 CONT The village is pleasantly situated about four miles S.E. of Bedale. The Ch
1 CONC urch (St. Lambert) is a large and ancient edifice, rebuilt in the Perpendi
1 CONC cular style in the 15th century. It consists of a lofty clerestoried na
1 CONC ve with north and south aisles, chancel, south porch, and a west tower sur
1 CONC mounted by a spire. The building was thoroughly restored and refurnish
1 CONC ed by the Duchess of Cleveland, and a handsome east window of five ligh
1 CONC ts inserted in memory of her husband William Henry, first duke of Clevelan
1 CONC d. A three-light pictorial window on the north side of the chancel, subjec
1 CONC t, " I am the resurrection and the life," commemorates the death of Robe
1 CONC rt Russell, in 1876. There are also tablets here to the Carter, Harriso
1 CONC n, and Elsley families, and two brasses to the Chaloners and Andersons. T
1 CONC he lofty proportions, the sombre hue of its carved oak roof, and the elega
1 CONC nt gothic arches of the aisles give the interior a very handsome and impos
1 CONC ing effect. Some of the ancient dark oak pews remain. These, an inscripti
1 CONC on on one of them tells us, were added in 1627 at a cost of £50, left by T
1 CONC homas Robinson, Esq., of Allathorpe. The font is octagonal with the date 1
1 CONC 662 on one of its facets. There are six bells in the tower, three of whi
1 CONC ch were added by subscription in 1874. In 1887 about £200 was spent in dra
1 CONC ining the churchyard and planting it with trees, and at the same time near
1 CONC ly an acre of ground was added, the gift of W. D. Russell, Esq., the patr
1 CONC on of the living. The vicarage, valued in the King's Books (temp Henry VII
1 CONC I.) at £37 6s. 8d., is endowed with one-third of the great tithes of Burne
1 CONC ston; the other two-thirds belong to G. J. Serjeantson, Esq., Camp Hill, a
1 CONC nd Charles Carter, Esq., Theakston Hall. Its present value is £480. 
1 CONT
1 CONT The Wesleyans have a chapel in the village, a plain brick building rebui
1 CONC lt in 1859, on the site of the old one. 
1 CONT
1 CONT A Free Grammar School and Hospital were founded here in 1680 by Matthew Ro
1 CONC binson, M.A., Vicar of Burneston, an ancester of the late Lord Rokeby, w
1 CONC ho endowed them with a rent-charge of £43 5s. on a farm at Scabbed Newto
1 CONC n. The building along, narrow, antiquated structure of two stories, former
1 CONC ly contained both almshouse and school, the master and usher of which h
1 CONC ad free apartments in the house. In 1852 the constitution of the school w
1 CONC as altered, and separate premises were erected by subscription and grant f
1 CONC rom the Committee of Council of Education. The other property of the insti
1 CONC tution consists of 12 acres 3 roods of land at Carthorpe, purchased from 1
1 CONC 795 to 1818, with various gifts, legacies, and contributions, and now l
1 CONC et for £27 a year. There are five almspeople in the house, four women a
1 CONC nd one man, the youngest of whom has passed the allotted "three score a
1 CONC nd ten," each of whom receives 11/6 monthly, 5/- in July for coals, 2
1 CONC /- in September for a dinner, and 7/6 in January for a dress. 
1 CONT
1 CONT The Poor's Land, seven acres, at Exelby, was partly bequeathed by Richa
1 CONC rd Foes, in 1673, and partly purchased in 1780 with £80 benefaction mone
1 CONC y, and £73 10s. raised by subscription. It lets for £12 a year. The poor h
1 CONC ave also the rent of a gravel pit (£2 a year) and the interest of £100 sav
1 CONC ed from the profits of this pit. 
1 CONT
1 CONT CARTHORPE township (area 2,056 acres, rateable value £2,890) is chiefly t
1 CONC he property of George John Serjeantson, Esq., J.P., Camp Hill; William Poo
1 CONC le, Esq., Little Danby; Mrs. Ryott, Southport; and John Stead, Carthorp
1 CONC e. The land is generally low, and the soil partly clay and sand, exce
1 CONC pt in the north west about Intake house where it is of a peaty nature, ind
1 CONC icative of a lake or marsh in former times; its name too, Carthorpe - t
1 CONC he thorpe by the Carrs - is corroborative of this. Some fields here bear t
1 CONC he name of Boghills from the numerous little hillocks which they contai
1 CONC n. These we are credibly informed, when levelled down, rise again in fo
1 CONC ur or five years. The rise of the mounds is not gradual but sudden; the ex
1 CONC planation of the phenomenon we leave to others. 
1 CONT
1 CONT The village occupies a low situation about a mile S. of Burneston. The Wes
1 CONC leyans and Primitive Methodists have chapels here, and there is also a pub
1 CONC lic elementary school, the property of, and solely supported by Mr. Serjea
1 CONC ntson. About half-a-mile from the village is Camp Hill, the residence of t
1 CONC he above named gentleman. The estate and manor were purchased by the prese
1 CONC nt owner's father, from the Rev. Mr. Lambert in 1796, and very considerab
1 CONC le additions made to the mansion. The Serjeantsons have been settled in Yo
1 CONC rkshire for more than 400 years, and for 300 years have held land at Hanli
1 CONC th. The present representative now, (August, 1888) in his 89th year, is t
1 CONC he last of the family. In a portion of the village called Hall-garth is t
1 CONC he shell of an ancient chapel, now used as a lumber shed and cow-house. No
1 CONC thing is known of its history nor of the period of its erection, but Mr. L
1 CONC ongstaffe assigns it to Saxon or early Norman times. 
1 CONT
1 CONT An ancient stone hammer was found at Breach House in 1856, and a few yea
1 CONC rs ago three skeletons were discovered 12 or 15 inches below the surfa
1 CONC ce at Howe Hill on the east side of Carthorpe. 
1 CONT
1 CONT The poor of the township have £3 a year, left by John Gale of Bushy, Hertf
1 CONC ordshire. 
1 CONT
1 CONT EXELBY, LEEMING, AND NEWTON are three separate places, forming, conjointl
1 CONC y, a township containing 2,439 acres, and 690 inhabitants. For rating purp
1 CONC oses it is valued at £4,223. It is in Bedale union and Electoral divisio
1 CONC n, and Northallerton County Court district, The manor and a large porti
1 CONC on of the land belong to W. D. Russell, Esq., whose father, the late Cap
1 CONC t. W. N. Russell, inherited this estate from the late dowager duchess of C
1 CONC leveland (daughter of R. Russell, Esq.,) who died in 1861. Thomas Sturge
1 CONC ss and Mrs. A. Bell have also estates in the township. 
1 CONT
1 CONT Exelby is a small village, about two miles E.S.E. of Bedale, consisti
1 CONC ng of a Wesleyan chapel and a few cottages. 
1 CONT
1 CONT Leeming village, three miles E.N.E. of Bedale, is so called from its situa
1 CONC tion on Leeming Lane, a portion of the old Roman road (Watling Street), wh
1 CONC ich extended northwards into Scotland, The name, according to Dr. Stukele
1 CONC y, is compounded of two British words, Lhe Maen, signifying the "stony way
1 CONC ," in allusion to the stones wherewith it was paved. A more probable orig
1 CONC in is lime, which is here abundant, and which, in the old Frisian diale
1 CONC ct of Yorkshire about the time of the Conquest, was called leahm. A chap
1 CONC el (St. John the Baptist) was erected here in 1424, and endowed with £2 17
1 CONC s. 3d. per annum out of the Exchequer. This edifice having become dilapida
1 CONC ted, was rebuilt in 1839, at a cost of about £600, raised by subscriptio
1 CONC n. It is a very plain brick building. The living, formerly a perpetual cur
1 CONC acy, was constituted a vicarage in 1880, the district assigned including L
1 CONC eeming, Newton, and Londonderry. It is in the gift of the vicar of Burnest
1 CONC on, and is worth £160 per annum. 
1 CONT
1 CONT There are also in the village chapels belonging to the Wesleyans and Primi
1 CONC tive Methodists, the former erected in 1844, and the latter in 1853, and e
1 CONC nlarged in 1862. 
1 CONT
1 CONT The school belongs to the church, but was transferred in 1874 to the Scho
1 CONC ol Board, who pay one shilling a year as an acknowledgment. It is attend
1 CONC ed by 120 children. 
1 CONT
1 CONT Newton, or, as it is sometimes called, Scabbed Newton, is a hamlet about o
1 CONC ne mile S. of Leeming. Newton House, the seat of W. D. Russell, Esq., J.P
1 CONC ., is a handsome stone mansion, surrounded by pleasant, well wooded ground
1 CONC s. It was rebuilt by William Henry, first duke of Cleveland, on the si
1 CONC te of an older edifice. Londonderry is a village on the great north roa
1 CONC d, about two miles from Leeming Bar station. A neat lecture hall has recen
1 CONC tly been erected by Mr. Russell for the benefit of the inhabitants. 
1 CONT
1 CONT CHARITIES. - The poor of this township have the bequests of Ralph Cowle
1 CONC y, in 1663, and Thomas Isles, in 1684, together amounting to £7 per annu
1 CONC m. Isle's dole is given to the poor of Exelby only. 
1 CONT
1 CONT GATENBY (the by, or town on the gata or road) township, containing 849 acr
1 CONC es, is chiefly owned by W. D. Russell, Esq., but Mrs. Shaw and Charles a
1 CONC nd Abraham Gowland have also land here. The hamlet is small and scattere
1 CONC d, and situated on high ground on the west side of the Swale, 4½ mil
1 CONC es E. of Bedale. Church service is held every alternate Sunday afternoo
1 CONC n, in the Ivy Cottages, by the vicar of Burneston. The rateable value of t
1 CONC he township is £1,145. 
1 CONT
1 CONT THEAKSTON township (estimated area, inclusive of woods, 919 acres) is chie
1 CONC fly the property of Charles Carter, Esq., J.P., Theakston Hall. The Gran
1 CONC ge farm belongs to W. D. Russell, Esq. The village of Theakston, i.e., t
1 CONC he thatched town, is pleasantly situated, midway between Burneston and Exe
1 CONC lby. Theakston Hall, the seat of Charles Carter, Esq., is a handsome mansi
1 CONC on, surrounded by well wooded grounds. Mr. Carter succeeded his father, t
1 CONC he late E. J. Carter, Esq., D.L., in 1863. He is a magistrate for the Nor

1 CONT Text from "The Serjeantsons of Hanlith" by R M Serjeantson. Privately publ
1 CONC ished. c 1908
1 CONT
1 CONT "Richard Willis (born 13 June, I777) was a native of Kirkoswold, Cumberlan
1 CONC d, but was brought up in 
1 CONT London. He was in business for a time, but obtained (30 June, 1823) a Bris
1 CONC bane grant of 2,000 acres of 
1 CONT land in Tasmania, which, augmented to 8,407 acres, became the Wanstead Est
1 CONC ate, near Campbell Town. 
1 CONT He sailed in the " Courier," and arrived at Hobart 21 Dec., 1823. He was m
1 CONC ade a justice of the Peace, 30 
1 CONT January, 1829; and was a  member of the Legislative Council from 4 Januar
1 CONC y, 1830, to 24 October, 1838, 
1 CONT when he resigned, prior to his return, in I839, to London.  He was a promi
1 CONC nent colonist, and in November, 
1 CONT 1826, imported the celebrated stallion " Peter Finn." His wife was Anne Ha
1 CONC rper, daughter of Thomas 
1 CONT Harper, of St. Kitts, West Indies, and British North America.  Harper w
1 CONC as a man of considerable influence 
1 CONT in America, and on the outbreak of the War of Independence, the colonis
1 CONC ts pressed him hard to take their 
1 CONT side.  He was however a staunch loyalist, and resolutely declined their ov
1 CONC ertures. When the rebellion 
1 CONT broke out, his little daughter Anne (the future Mrs. Willis) was on a vis
1 CONC it to friends at a distance, who had 
1 CONT joined the revolutionary party.  They actually went so far as to detain t
1 CONC he child, refusing to give her up 
1 CONT unless her father agreed to espouse their cause.  He refused however, a
1 CONC nd after great difficulty at length 
1 CONT succeeded in recovering the little girl, and getting her out of the countr
1 CONC y. When she grew up she married, 
1 CONT about the year 1800, Richard Willis of Wanstead, by whom she had eighte
1 CONC en children, the second of 
1 CONT whom was Marianne, wife of Capt.  Wm.  Serjeantson.  Anne Willis died at G
1 CONC reenwich 19 Sept., 1848; 
1 CONT and her husband Richard Willis at Southsea, in 1855."
1 CONT
1 CONT Note from Zenda Cullen (nee Willis)
1 CONT
1 CONT I have corresponded with Phillipa Baird who now owns 'Wanstead Park' and s
1 CONC he has sent me a couple of 
1 CONT photos of the house. Richard Willis and his wife Ann Simpson left Engla
1 CONC nd in 1823 with 11 of their 
1 CONT children arriving in Dec. of that year. They took up a grant at Campbell T
1 CONC own and built 'Wanstead Park' 
1 CONT about 1826, where they lived for some years, enlarging and improving on th
1 CONC eir property to almost 9000 
1 CONT acres. Have you read any of the information about Marianne in the "Clyde C
1 CONC ompany Papers"? There is a 
1 CONT wealth of information about her and William Serjeantson both in India a
1 CONC nd Tasmania. Ann's father was a 
1 CONT Silversmith, very prominent in the Masonic Lodge both in England and the U
1 CONC SA. There is a newspaper 
1 CONT article about Wanstead being haunted by Marianne who was 'pining for her h
1 CONC usband', it's amazing what 
1 CONT they will print.

1 CONT
1 CONT [early 1990Æs]Thomas was found as a result of tracing back from Matilda T
1 CONC rant, the second  wife of Thomas Wainwright of Barnsley.         Thos.Tran
1 CONC t. is shown to be the GG/f of Matilda.
1 CONT It would seem that Thomas ôjust arrivedö in Hemsworth - - there is no his
1 CONC tory to show where he came from, or any parentage.
1 CONT [early 2000Æs] [following a  tip from Janet Avent of Australia]    Later r
1 CONC esearch found that Thomas was the 2nd son of Gabriel Trant @@ Lowthe
1 CONT           
1 CONT He was first noted in the baptism register (at Hemsworth) as the fath
1 CONC er of first son William Thomas TRANT and the subsequent christening of h
1 CONC is other children. Later, in the search for a wife he is recorded aga
1 CONC in in the Hemsworth marriage register when he married Alice Archdale.
1 CONT At this time it was found that Alice was already a widow. Further search (
1 CONC in the burial reg.) showed that a Thomas Archdale was buried at Hemswor
1 CONC th in 1745.
1 CONT  [12 Apr 1995] The IGI then produced the evidence that Thos. Archdale. w
1 CONC as married to Alice Serjeanison at Wakefield in 1738. 
1 CONT This has to be a cross match.
1 CONT So, Thomasæ wife is in fact Alice Serjeanison, - - - of Wakefield.
1 CONT [Serjeanison û this spelling is as is in the Wakefield Mar. Reg.]
1 CONT
1 CONT Though ôRev.ö No evidence could be found for any connection in any way wi
1 CONC th the church in Hemsworth or elsewhere. In all registers, though record
1 CONC ed as Rev. he is also noted as ôschool-masterö.
1 CONT On the basis of this marriage date, it was estimated that his birth wou
1 CONC ld be circa 1720 ish. From this it was then further estimated that his ôUn
1 CONC iversity daysö would be around 1745 or so. Search of the Alumni Cantabrige
1 CONC nisis for evidence of Clerical training failed to find any entry at eith
1 CONC er Cambridge or Oxford. It was at this time felt that the REV. part of h
1 CONC is title may well have been self appointed - - and probably of no valu
1 CONC e, - - hence the Schoolmaster role.
1 CONT [This estimation of age later proved to be totally wrong, hence, earlier f
1 CONC irm identification was missed.]
1 CONT Married life continued in Hemsworth, and it is known that the family prod
1 CONC uced eight children, three boys and five girls. One girl, Mary died in a m
1 CONC atter of months, and one boy, the last, who was born after the death of h
1 CONC is father died at about three years. In each case,  the bpt. is record
1 CONC ed at Hemsworth, and again, in each case Thos. is shown as ôRev.ö and aga
1 CONC in as ôSchool Master.ö
1 CONT Hemsworth burial register shows that Thomas was buried in January of 175
1 CONC 9. He did leave a will, and also a family of very young children - - - t
1 CONC he youngest not yet born who was named somewhat appropriately as John Post
1 CONC humus T.
1 CONT      The burial register dose clearly indicate that the burial for Rev. Th
1 CONC omas was at Hemsworth,
1 CONT      At a later date a search for the grave and m.i. was not successfu
1 CONC l. No grave marker could
1 CONT  be found.
1 CONT
1 CONT [March 1999]When the IGI was finally mounted on the Internet, a search w
1 CONC as made for possible ancestors, and it was found that a GABRIEL TRANT bapt
1 CONC ised a family of boys, including a Thomas at Lowther, in Westmoreland betw
1 CONC een 1699 and 1705. This was considered a definite possibility, though n
1 CONC ot proof. It was felt that the distance separating the two locations (Lowt
1 CONC her / Hemsworth) at that time made a connection impractical and therefo
1 CONC re unreliable. It was also a good 20 years earlier than the up to then est
1 CONC imated birth for Thomas. This entry for Gabriel / Thomas was the only Tra
1 CONC nt entry for the whole North of England. The data was logged as possibl
1 CONC e, but not yet accepted in the record
1 CONT
1 CONT [May 2000]. Following my entry in the - Genealogical Research Index [200
1 CONC 0] - I received a contact from a Mrs Jean Avent, in Australia who was resp
1 CONC onding to my call for: ôTrant -1700+ - Hemsworth & Leeds YKS, Eng.ö 
1 CONT She felt that a connection was possible between her Rev. William and my Yo
1 CONC rkshire line
1 CONT
1 CONT Buxton Lib. was able to obtain a (photo-) copy of a page from the Alum
1 CONC ni Cantabrigenisis that showed that there were three Trant brothers at Cam
1 CONC bridge in 1715. [I had previously searched 1745.] all sons of the now dece
1 CONC ased Gabriel Trant.  - - - William, Thomas  & John. This seemed to sugge
1 CONC st that our two lines were indeed linked.
1 CONT Pushing the research on a bit further, ThomasÆs Will was obtained from t
1 CONC he Borthwick Inst. York. 
1 CONT A key point in this document was a line that, after appointing his executo
1 CONC rs . . . read
1 CONT ô he did urge them to consult with his brother William, Rev. vicar at Brou
1 CONC ghamsö
1 CONT
1 CONT       This was a sure link. It confirmed that our two lines were indeed pa
1 CONC rallel lines that had to come down from, - - and that Gabriel, at Lowthe
1 CONC r, Westmoreland was the common father to both lines.

1 CONC ecord book does not mention this occurrence.  This is most probably a Morm
1 CONC on guesstimate ôrelatives submissionö to the IGI.
1 CONT
1 CONT Alice was the third child, [2nd dau.] by Robert and his first wife, Ma
1 CONC ry Smith. She was born on the 20 May 1714 at Hanlith, but was only 9 yea
1 CONC rs of age on the death of her father in 1723.   Her mother having died ju
1 CONC st previously in 1721.
1 CONT
1 CONT The following family information is given prominence in RMSÆs book, ôSerje
1 CONC antson of Hanlithö
1 CONT Both her parents were buried at Kirkby Malham. After their parentÆs dea
1 CONC th the son, William, was cared for by his G/father William Serjeantson (se
1 CONC n.), who was to die in just a few years in 1727, thereafter the boy was ca
1 CONC red for by a trust of older relatives. No mention is made of the care of t
1 CONC he girls. It is known that the elder sister, 16 yr old Frances, died in 17
1 CONC 29 and is buried in Wakefield Cathedral. (? see page 45). This was close
1 CONC ly followed in 1730 by the death of the maternal g/mother, Priscilla Smit
1 CONC h, also buried in [The High Quire] at Wakefield Cathedral.
1 CONT It is just possible that whilst the boy was in the care of the paternal g
1 CONC /f, the girls were taken in and cared for by the motherÆs maternal (Smit
1 CONC h) family in Wakefield.
1 CONT In 1736, William (jun.) married Susannah Moore. In doing so, at this ti
1 CONC me he agreed to make a settlement that would care for his wife in the eve
1 CONC nt of his early death. 
1 CONT        It was from this time onward that Wakefield became the centre of t
1 CONC he Serjeantson girlsÆ life
1 CONT It was at Wakefield, at the age of 24, Alice married her first husban
1 CONC d, - - - Thomas Archdale, - - - of Hemsworth on the 11 Dec 1738. She liv
1 CONC ed at Vissit, the Archdale estate, nr. Hemsworth, until her husband di
1 CONC ed in 1745.
1 CONT [It has to be noted that this occasion was recorded in the Wakefield Pa
1 CONC r. Reg. with the name spelt æSERJEANISONÆ].
1 CONT On 6th Dec 1746, in the parish church at Hemsworth, she married her seco
1 CONC nd husband, - - - the Rev. Thomas Trant, - - - the local schoolmaster.   (
1 CONC Details of family is on husbands biography page - -  TrantRevT.dos)
1 CONT He died in 1759 after only thirteen years. He left her with a family of ve
1 CONC ry small children, the eldest, a son was only 12 years old.
1 CONT On husbandÆs death, he left a will that did provide for her and childr
1 CONC en - - allowed home and income).
1 CONT Alice then lived on for a further 23 years: She died on 20 May 17
1 CONC 82  - - aged 68, and was buried on 26 May 1782 at Hemsworth, Yks.  So s
1 CONC he lived long enough to see her son - - 24 year old  Wm.Thomas marri
1 CONC ed in Leeds.  Whether she was able to attend the function is not known. 
1 CONT She would also have been around to witness the birth of grand sons at Leed
1 CONC s, though whether she was able see or visit them at Leeds [now aged c 60
1 CONC +] is not known.
