James & Gregory Family History

suerussell — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 05:53:59 CDT

My James family history starts with William James born c. 1774. He married a woman called Lettitia (Tisha) who died of old age in Sandhurst in 1852. William had died between 1815 and 1851.

They had children named William born in Ashampstead c. 1795 and Henrietta Frances, born in Arborfield c. 1816.

William married(?) Jane Hazard, daughter of Thomas Hazard and Elizabeth all, I believe, from Wantage. William and Jane had children named Ann, William, Lettitia, Elijah, (Francis) Maria, Golias/Elias, Jeseriah/Jesse, Mary Ann and Freedom. Ann (1828) was born in Bradfield, William (1829), Lettitia (1835), Elijah (1837), (Francis) Maria (1845), Golias/Elias (1847), Jeseriah (1850) and Freedom (1841) were born in Mortimer, and Mary Ann (1853) was born in Sandhurst.

It was their son William (1829) who was my great grandfather. He teamed up with a lady call Ann Gregory, but they never married. They had children named Louisa (1857), Thomas (1859), Henry (1862), John (1863), Ann (1867), Joseph (Job) (1868), Elijah (1870), Samuel (1873), Patience Adelaide (1874), Jesse (1877) and Walter (1881) who was my great grandfather.

William died in 1890 in Yateley and Ann in 1921 in 4 Woodbine Cottage in Sandhurst, Berkshire. She is buried at St Michael's Church along with William.

Ann is a bit of a mystery! In the 1881 census, she appears with William and their children, Job, Elijah, Samuel, Patience Adelaide, Jesse and grand daughter Eleanor Justice, living along the lane to Up Green. She is 45 at the time and working as a "hawker of wares". Her birth place is given as Wokingham.

However, by the 1891 census, William has died and she is living in Cricket Hill, Yateley with her sons Jesse (1877) and Walter (1881) and her nephew, John Grainger, son of Ellen Gregory and Matthias Grainger. The mystery is, that she is now calling herself Victoria. Her age is correct although her birth place is now Sandhurst.

There are two entried in the 1901 census for Victoria and her son, Walter (my great grandfather). The first is in Little Sandhurst. Her age is 64 (correct) and William is 20 (also correct). Her birth place is given, once again, as Wokingham and she is a cocoa nest stall keeper. I have also found another entry for Victoria and Walter on the Yateley census living next to William and Ann Granger. On this census page, Victoria is described as a hawker of wicker and Walter as a bricklayer and both are down as having been born in Yateley. On both census records Victoria is a widow and both her and Walter's ages correlate. I have checked the 1891 census and there is only one Victoria and Walter James and there is only one Walter James born in the year and area Walter was born. I can only assume that either the lodger, Fred Smith, gave details for Victoria and Walter, or they were at home in Sandhurst and gave the details to the administrator and then went visiting in Yateley and gave their detials there too (or vice versa) - VERY ODD!

Anyway, Walter married Eliza Eyles and had children named Jesse, Walter, Bessie Victoria, Hilda, Lillian and Mary.

Jesse was my grandfather and he lived, until his death in 1970, on the land in Sandhurst that his grandfather, William, had reputedly won on a bet!
