Uglow Family History

Looking from village pub to Denbury Down

"DENBURY, a scattered village, pleasantly situated, in a valley 3 miles S.S.W. of Newton Abbot, has in its parish 470 souls, and 1068 acres of land. . . . General Taylor owns a great part of the soil, and is lord of the manor, which belonged to the Archbishop of York in the Confessor's reign, and to Tavistock Abbey at Domesday survey. After the Reformation, it was held by the Russells, who sold it to the Reynells, one of whose co-heiresses carried it in marriage to Captain Taylor, in the reign of Queen Anne. The Rev. R.H. Froude, Mr. J. Badcock, and a few smaller owners, have estates here; and Denbury House, a large Elizabethan mansion, is the seat of Miss Froude. The Church (St. Mary,) has a tower and five bells, and has been restored and  beautified during the last four years, at the expense of Miss Froude and other subscribers. The rectory, valued in K.B. at £12. 7s. 6d., and in 1831 at £201, is in the patronage of the Rev. John Richard Bogue, B.A., and incumbency of the Ven. Robert H. Froude, M.A., who is also rector of Dartington, and Archdeacon of Totnes. . . ."
[From White's Devonshire Directory (1850)]

A parish in Haytor Hundred, the Archdeaconry of Totnes and the Diocese of Exeter. Denbury is south of Newton Abbot - its local archive society's website is at http://www.denbury.net

Here is a larger scale map of Devon and a  map to get you to Denbury - and here's a late 18th/early 19th century map of the area

Family 1: Richard and Elizabeth Found

Richard marries Elizabeth Found in Ashwater in 1789. I am uncertain of Richard's provenance

1. the suggestion that he may be the son of Richard and Elizabeth Worden born in 1762 in Boyton is probably wrong as Richard 1762 dies in 1801 in Boyton, unmarried.
2. the groom is described as a widower of Wolborough. This may be Richard 1757, the son of John and Grace Wells who married Mary Smetham in Bodmin in 1785 but whose twin girls, Susanna and Jemima, are born in Marhamchurch but die very quickly. Perhaps Mary also dies?...A heartbroken Richard (from a wandering family) disappears to the other side of the moor. Very romantic and very speculative
3. he is Richard Ugler in some places - this raises the possibility that he is from the Exeter Uglers, perhaps William and Agnes but all this has to commend it is the spelling, it's the period that William and Agnes were raising the family and the geography - Broadclyst and Exeter are nearer to Wolborough! But there's no sign of any link to those Exeter families in the 19th century...

Their first two children were born in Ashwater:

• daughter Mary 1790
• daughter Elizabeth 1791 - it is likely that she marries Thomas Cload in Totnes in 1817 - he may be the son of Thomas and Elizabeth Cload of Totnes.

• son Philip 1796 - my great-great-great grandfather is born in Denbury.

Family 2: Philip and Ann Peacock

Hannah Uglow outside Shute House, Denbury: December 2000

Philip, born in  Denbury in 1796, is the the son of Richard and Elizabeth Found. He was a farm labourer. In 1821, he married Ann Peacock, (1796-1876).

In 1841 they are living with father-in-law John Peacock, aged 75. In 1851 the family is at 7 Under Street - Ann is identified as a serge weaver. They have a large family, who mainly stay in the district.

Philip dies in 1860 - his gravestone is to be found in the churchyard at Denbury with Ann, his wife and Frederick, one of his sons also buried there. 

• daughter Eliza 1822 born in Denbury. In 1847 she marries Joseph Townsend in Denbury. Joseph is a farm labourer born in Widdecombe in 1821, the son of Daniel Townsend, labourer. Joseph is living in Broadhempston at the time of the marriage. The witnesses are Philip and sister Susan. In 1881, they are living at Bradley Lane, Highweek. Joseph is now a stoker and two sons are still living with them - Frank Philip born 1863 and an apprentice blacksmith and Paul Arthur born 1866 and an apprentice cordwainer.
  Eliza dies in 1900 - already widowed. she dies at Highweek Rd, Newton Abbot. Her daughter in law, A.M. Townsend, from Abbotsbury Avenue, Newton Abbot, is with her.
  
• daughter Susanna 1823 - she is not in the 1841 census at Denbury. However there is a Susanna who marries in Newton Abbot RD in the second quarter of 1849.
• son Richard 1824 - my great-great grandfather, a farm labourer in Denbury. 
• son Simon 1827 but dies in infancy
• daughter Mary 1828 - at the 1851 census, she is a servant at Highweek in Newton Abbot to Irenious Mayhew
• son Frederick 1832 - at the 1851 census, he is in Denbury. In the 1871 census, he is an agricultural labourer living with mother Ann. In 1881, he is living alone and unmarried at Rows Farm, Coffinswell. In 1891, he is living alone in East St., Denbury - it says he is married but that's doubtful. He dies in 1894 and is buried with his parents, unmarried and childless
• daughter Amanda 1834 is born in Denbury and there at the time of the census in 1841 and 1851. She marries in 1853 - probably to William Nicholls, since in the census in 1881 (and 1891+1901), there is an Amanda of the right age and born in Denbury. Their son, George 1859, is born in Denbury but later they live in Churston Ferrers where William is a labourer. There is a daughter, Louisa 1862, who marries a Windeatt, as well as Herbert in 1864 and John in 1874.
• daughter Elizabeth 1837 born in Denbury. An Eliza and an Elizabeth in the same family? Definitely! We can track Elizabeth through the census in 1841 and 1851 to Denbury. At the 1861 census, she is a dairymaid at Coffinswell, a village between Newton Abbot and Torquay. In 1867 she marries Thomas Prout and they have at least three children - Herbert 1869, Elizabeth 1871, Henry 1877 who is lame from childhood. Thomas dies before 1881 and the census in 1881 shows the widowed Elizabeth working as a laundress living at 5 Albert St, Dawlish with the children. But in 1889 she marries again, this time to Thomas Underhill, a naval pensioner and boatman from Bristol. The 1891 census finds them living in Dawlish with Elizabeth and Henry and they are still there in the 1901 census with unmarried daughter, Elizabeth, now 30 years old.
  
• son Thomas 1840 - dies within the year
• son William Charles 1849 - probably dies young [there may well have been two William Charles, one born 1839 and the other 1849, both dying young]

Family 3: Richard and Susan Underhay

Richard is born in 1824 in Denbury, the son of Philip and Ann Peacock and the grandson of Richard and Elizabeth Found.

In 1849, he marries Susan Underhay, born locally in 1829 in Combinteignhead. In 1851, Richard is a farm labourer working in Denbury, living at 67 Green St. In 1881, they are referred to as Velow but the family are living in East St, Richard still working on the farms and Susan as a charwoman. Their unmarried daughter, Mary, is living there as are four grandchildren - three of these are James's children as he is working in London.

Their granddaughter, Catherine Amelia 1879, is also living with them - it's not clear who her parents are and whether she is legitimate. In 1901 she's a domestic servant at Netherton Manor, Haccombe, close to her grandmother's birthplace. She marries Reginald Mills in Newton Abbot in 1904. He was born in Netherton in 1883 and was working for the Great Western Railway in 1911. They are living at Ludgvan, Long Rock in the west of Cornwall with three children, Reginald 1904, Olive 1907 and Winifred 1908.

In 1891, Richard and Sarah are alone in Denbury, still living in East St, and Richard is apparently still working on a farm. Richard dies in 1894, aged 69, and is buried in Denbury. After his death, in 1901 Susan lives with her daughter Susan in Liverpool. She returns to Devon and lives until she is 75. She dies in 1905 at Silverton, near Tiverton RD in 1905. She is also buried in Denbury.

• son James Underhay 1850. In 1871 he marries Catherine Ellis (1845-1875) who tragically dies within five years of scarlet fever at Buckfastleigh. With Catherine, there were three children:
  • Susan Ann 1872 born in Buckfastleigh, named after James' baby sister? In 1881, she is living with her grandparents in Denbury. She moves to London to live near her father - in 1891 she is in training for domestic service in Paddington. In 1899 she marries in Ashford in Kent, to Asher Rufus Morris and in 1901, they are living in Chartham, a village near to Canterbury. Like her mother, Susan has three children, Marjorie, Percival and Reginald. Like her mother, she also dies young in 1906 at Chartham. Asher Morris marries again, a mother for the children but the family history has it that as he lay dying he opened his eyes - looked past Marjorie and her step- grandmother and said" I'm coming Susan". [source: Shirley Sibiga]
    
  • Henry Richard 1873 born in Buckfastleigh. In 1881, he is living with his grandparents in Denbury. Probably he moves to London to live with his father. He joined the Coldstream Guards and is a sergeant, stationed at Caterham in 1900 - there is a newspaper report of a court case in which 'Harry' was acquitted. He married Lillian Maud Eliot (1875-1945), born in Polkerris, Cornwall but a kitchen maid in Brompton in 1891. They wed in Stepney. A policeman, plumber, electrician...dying in 1945 in Spalding
    
  • Mary Elizabeth 1875 born in Buckfastleigh. In 1881, she is living with her grandparents in Denbury. In 1891, she is living at Ramsden Road, Streatham (close to her father) where she is a domestic servant for John Wilson and his large family. In 1901, she is a nurse at York County Hospital.
  
  In 1881 he is in London in Bethnal Green at 53 Edward St, lodging and working as a smith. But he goes to Cornwall and in Mevagissey, St Austell in 1884 marries for a second time. His bride is Mary Jane Oliver, born in 1846 in Guernsey. In 1901 and 1911, they are living at 59 Trinity Rd, Streatham. [The 1901 census has them under 'Glow']. James was a plumber and decorator - in 1901 his brother John is living with them and helping in the business. James's nephew, Percy Teague, and his sister Vida, are also living there. In 1911, it is simply James and Mary with daughter Mabel and niece, Rosebeth Vuida teague. Later James is a journeyman blacksmith and general smith (at Richardsons, of Leeds?) and died in Spalding, Lincolnshire in 1929.
  
  
  • daughter Mabel Jane 1887 born in St Austell RD. She is living with her parents in Streatham in 1901 and 1911. She worked as a clerk in 1911 but in 1915 married Frederick Hutton. She died in Plymouth in 1958
  • son Nicholas 1890 born in St Austell RD but dies the same year
    
    
• daughter Jane 1851 - already a servant by the time of the 1861 census.
• son William Underhay 1852 - in 1874 he married a widow Sarah Jane Chudleigh (born in Newton Abbot as Furze 1845 and died Woolwich RD 1928) - Family 5 London. 
• son Richard Henry 1854 - my great-grandfather.
• daughter Mary Elizabeth 1857 born in Denbury. She is with her parents at the time of the census in 1861 and 1881 (as Velow). She married in 1888, probably to Samuel Frederick Narramore - the evidence for this is the 1901 census which shows a Mary Narramore, 44 years old and born in Denbury and the GRO gives Samuel and Mary Elizabeth marrying in Newton Abbot at the same time.
• daughter Hannah 1860 - by 1871 she was already in service in East Ogwell, a village near Denbury. But in 1880 she married Henry Gilpin, born in Ashcombe in 1858. In 1881, the family is found in Higher Town, Ashcombe in Devon. Henry is a farm worker - they have a young son George. Henry died in 1901 and Hannah is found in Pinhoe in Exeter working as a laundress and washerwoman. She remarried - this time to Edwin Bulley (1857-1937) a railway worker. Hannah died aged 71 in Thorverton in 1930. [Francis Gilpin of Thorverton had a book inscribed inside the cover "Hannah Uglow, her book March 14 1878, Gappah nr Chudleigh'.]
• son George Underhay 1862. A soldier - in the 1881 census, he was in Caterham Barracks. In 1890 he married Emma Marie (1872-1929) and they lived in Spital, in Windsor. See Surrey Family 4.
• daughter Susan Ann 1864 born in Denbury. In the 1881 census Susan is a general servant to William Montgomery of Tormoham - he is a tailor and outfitter. She marries Thomas Craven Taylor in Wandsworth in 1895 - in 1901, the family with sons, Thomas U. 1896 and John C. 1897, is to be found in Ancaster Road, Toxteth Park, Liverpool - mother Susan is living with them.
• son John Underhay 1866 born in Denbury. By the 1881 census he is in Woodland, as a farm servant to Alan Perrott. He is living with his brother, James, in 1901 as his business partner. He is single at that time and dies in 1903 in Wandsworth.
• son Philip 1873 who dies on the day he was born.

Family 4: Richard Henry and Elizabeth Trenerry

Richard Henry, my great-grandfather, was born in Denbury in 1854, the son of Richard and Susan Underhay. He was a gardener and perhaps florist himself. He worked at some point in Florian Lodge in Newton Abbot and tended the rectory gardens in Denbury. 

In 1875, he married Elizabeth Trenerry in the parish church at Denbury. In the 1881 census, Elizabeth describes herself as 23 and from St Just in Cornwall. This is my great grandmother and I am interested in where she came from and why she is so far from home.

The first problem is St Just - is this St Just in Roseland, south of Truro or St Just in Penwith, at the far recesses of Land's End? My best guess is that it is probably the latter.

Secondly on the marriage certificate, her father is George Trenerry, a carpenter. There are relatively few Georges on the censuses but:

in 1861, George is a tin miner in St Just with his wife, Grace, and children, George was born in Sennen in 1827 and Grace in St Just in 1826. This is Grace Edwards, found on the 1851 census as a servant in St Just. But very soon after, George and Grace are marrying in Tavistock - remember Tavistock is a tin mining centre at this time. They return fairly soon as all the children are born in St Just. There is Elizabeth (1852), Ellen (1855), Ann (1858), John (1858 - not on the 1861 census?), George Henry (1860), Jane (1864) and Ann (1866). Grace dies in 1870 but within a few months, George has married again, to Jane Perran Chappel - this is a second marriage for both as Jane (nee James) was previously married to a Chappel and her son, John Chappel, is living with George and Jane in 1871 and 1881.

in 1871, George and Jane are living in the hamlet of Boscean, just to the north west of St Just. The children now include Jane and Ann but also John, born in 1858 but not on the 1861 census. In 1871 Elizabeth is working as a servant for James and Rebecca Eddy on their smallholding in St Just.

in 1881, George and Jane are living in Cape Cornwall St in St Just with stepson, John Chappel, George Henry and Annie. John Chappel becomes a boot maker and moves to Plymouth.

in 1891, they are living in Queen St, New Downs, St Just where George is earning a living as a grocer. By 1901, George has died but Jane is still in St Just, working as a grocer and shopkeeper - in 1917, she writes to a niece in New Zealand '...My husband is dead 18 years next January prhaps you know i was marred twise. My second husband had 6 children the are all dead but two one of them is in Cambourne the other is near Exeter so i do go a little to one place and another'

So back to Elizabeth - so far, so speculative as this Elizabeth is the right age, right place of birth.But can we connect her to the Elizabeth who gets married in Devon a few years later? One small item of evidence is that, if Elizabeth was the daughter of George the tin miner, she had a sister, Jane, born in St Just in 1864. In the 1881 census, we find an identical Jane working as a domestic servant in Teignmouth, just a few miles from Denbury.

But how did the girls get to Denbury? - it's a long haul even now at 110 miles. perhaps the explanation revolves around a new school teacher in Denbury - in 1871, Miss Emma Lidstone is the school mistress but by 1881, the school master is George Casley - and he was born in St Just in Penwith and is the same age as George Trenerry. The Casleys in St Just are also linked to the Eddys - the family for whom Elizabeth was working in 1871. My tentative thoughts are that George brings Elizabeth to Denbury as a servant where she meets Richard Henry and they get down to the business of rearing the 3rd large generation of Uglow children in Denbury

In 1881, they are in the cottage adjoining the stable in Wolborough - Henry is working as a florist's assistant and they have three young sons - Hubert, Lewin and Ernest.

In 1891, they are living in West Street in Denbury and Richard is working as a gardener. All their children are with them - except Donald and Olive, yet to be born.

In 1901, the address is given as Shute House - RIchard is working as a domestic gardener. Frederick (working with his father), Winifred, Donald and Olive are also living there.

They lived in the village for some time before retiring to 3 Hillside, Talaton in SE Devon where they both died - Elizabeth in 1924 and Richard in 1940 .

Shute House, Denbury: December 2000

• son Herbert George Trenerry 1877 is born in Exeter. He is with his parents in the 1881 and 1891 census but is in Exeter Police Barracks with brother, Ernest in 1901. In 1902, he married Alice Dowsett in Ellacombe, Torquay - Family 5
• son Lewin Henry Trenerry 1878 - my grandfather - see Family 2 in Bideford
• son Ernest James 1880 - in 1881, he is in Wolborough with his parents; in 1891, they are living in West St, Denbury. By 1900, he was living in Tiverton as he is a witness in a court case. In Trewman's Exeter Flying Post (10th Feb 1900), he testified in the case of Row v Tiverton Corporation, involving Tiverton's fire brigade knocking over the pony and trap of Mrs Row.
  
  But by 1901, Ernest is a police constable and is living in Exeter Police Barracks, which was next to the prison. He is there with brother, Herbert. He probably doesn't stay long in the constabulary. He married Louisa Ellen (Lou) Lucas in 1905. She was born in 1872, the daughter of James (a farm labourer) and Sarah. By 1911 they are living at 5 Prospect Place, Tiverton - Ernest is a miller and Lou is a laundress. Later he worked in a brewery in Tiverton. Ernest died in Tiverton in 1941 and Lou died there in 1945. They had no children themselves but brought up:
  • Dorothy May (Dolly) 1906 daughter of Florence, born in Tiverton and living with Ernest at 5 Prospect Place in 1911. In 1931, she married William Olden who died in 1933 at the age of 29. Dolly lived in Tiverton and worked in the lace factory. Dolly died in September 1998
• daughter Florence Mabel Trenerry 1882 - in 1901, she (known as Mabel F.) is a domestic servant with Rev. Samuel Bingham, a CoE clergyman in Elmington, Torquay - possibly in the parish of St George and St Mary, Cockington. The vicar comes from Sheffield. Mabel is a free spirit and has a baby, Dolly in 1906. Later she married another northerner, John Thomas (Jack) Hargreaves in Newton Abbot RD in 1909. It is possible that he is a cotton weaver, born in Blackburn in 1878 - if so, in 1901, he is a convict serving a sentence of imprisonment on Dartmoor. That may explain why they emigrate to New Zealand where they have five children.
• son Frederick John 1884. In 1901 he is living with his parents in Shute House, Denbury, working as a domestic gardener. He marries in 1909 - Beatrice Annie Swift - Family 6
• son Reginald Herbert 1886. In 1901 Reg is living in North Street in Denbury, lodging with and working for George Miller, the baker and postmaster. Apparently he developed dermatitis - in 1909 he marries Jessie Reed, a farmer's daughter from Bridford, near Exeter and they emigated to Australia where he was cooking on a sheep station. They came home, sailing steerage from Sydney to Plymouth on the SS Otranto, arring in April 1914. They stayed with brother Lewin at Lamerton. In 1939 Reg was working with Hill Palmer in Exeter in insurance but they got bombed. He saw service in Budleigh. After the war, they had a shop at St Thomas but Jessie got cancer and died in 1950. Reg worked as Father Xmas at Waltons department store, Exeter. Reg survived until 1965, finally living with his niece, Iris.
• daughter Evelyn Ellen 1888 born in Denbury. In 1901 (as Eva) she is a servant in the house of Lucius Cary, a retired army colonel. They live in Torquay. Evelyn married a railwayman, John Young from Talaton in 1910. In 1940 they were living in Buckfastleigh and had children Mona 1911, Iris 1913, Joyce and Lawrence
• daughter Winifred May 1890. She was a nurse in fever hospital, then nanny to a family that went to India and she met  Patrick Coffey on ship and married him. He had taught hindustani in Indian army, later was headmaster at St Joseph's, a RC primary school in Battersea. They had 2 sons, Brian and Sean.
• son Donald Arthur 1894. In 1901, he is with his parents at Shute House in Denbury but my information is that, for a time, the family was living near Willand, near Cullompton and that Donald came from Willand to school in Thorverton in1906 from Ruffwell Farm. In 1911, he is working on a farm at Poltimore, close to Exeter and lodging with George Drew, the cattleman on the farm.
  
  In the war, Donald was a gunner in the Royal Field Artillery, part of the Royal Artillery Regiment. This had three sections - Horse Artillery, Field Artillery and Garrison Artillery. The RFA were responsible for medium calibre guns and howitzers deployed close to the front line and was reasonably mobile. Donald returned from the war shell shocked, came back to Talaton where his parents were living. But he was never able to work except as a gardener to the governor of his residential home in Exmouth/Exminster? where he died in 1955.
• daughter Olive Alice 1897. My information is that the family is living near Willand, near Cullompton and that Olive, like brother Donald, came from Willand to school in Thorverton in 1906 from Ruffwell Farm. Later she went to St.Margaret's School, Exeter. Olive was in the WAC  in WW1. In 1920 she married William Gilbert Glanville of Talaton who was a corporal in the RFA, Portsea. They separated after a few months but Olive went to Canada. She was an officer in Canadian air force in WW2, had a pilot's licence, flew freight, had a florist's business, as well as dabbling in salmon canning. She married at least one more time but had no children. She died in Vancouver in  1987.

Family 5: Hubert George Trenerry and Alice Dowsett

Hubert George Trenerry 1877 is born in Exeter, the son of Richard Henry and Elizabeth Trenerry and the grandson of Richard and Susan Underhay.

[Hubert or Herbert? - 1837online clearly states Herbert but his brother Lewin's marriage certificate and the 1911 census equally clearly says Hubert!]

He is with his parents in the 1881 and 1891 census. He is in Exeter Police Barracks with brother, Ernest in 1901. In 1902, he married Alice Dowsett in Ellacombe, Torquay.

He joined the Devon police and in 1911 is a police constable, living at 65 Woodville Road, Torquay. He later served at Abbotsham and Westward Ho! and  Exmouth.

Alice was born in Prittlewell hamlet, near Southend in Essex in 1869 - she was the daughter of John Dowsett, a shepherd and already 63 when Alice was born. She was living with her father in 1881. By 1891, Alice with her sisters, Mary and Eliza, have moved to West Ogwell, Newton Abbot where they work for Daniel Scratton JP and his wife, Maria. The Scrattons originally come from Essex. I can't find Alice in 1901.

• son Arthur Hubert 1903, born at Huntsham, Devon. In 1911, he is at 65 Woodville Rd, Torbay with his parents. In 1928 in Bideford he marries Lillian Curtis from Wales.

Family 6: Frederick John and Beatrice Annie Swift

Frederick John 1884 was born in Denbury , the son of Richard Henry and Elizabeth Trenerry and the grandson of Richard and Susan Underhay.

In 1891, he was living with his parents at 17 West St in Teigngrace, just north of Newton Abbott. In 1901 he was still with his parents in Shute House, Denbury, working as a domestic gardener. Soon after this, he joined the Royal Navy as there is a record of his service. He married in 1909 - Beatrice Annie Swift who was the daughter of Thomas and Sarah Jane: Thomas was born in Oxfordshire and Sarah Jane in Bristol. In 1901 Thomas Swift was a coachman in Torbryan but in 1911 was living in East Ogwell and was a domestic gardener. Beatrice was born in 1888 in Byfield, Northants and in 1901 was with her parents at East St, Torbryan.

In 1911, she was back with her parents in East Ogwell with two young children, Flora and Kenneth. This was because Frederick had gone to London to join the Metropolitan Police.
