The descendants of John Wetmore and Elizabeth Cox

Returning to Thomas and Sarah Wetmore's second son John and his descendants, as stated earlier, although more distant cousins, they remain of interest, not least because of the marriages they made, with the surnames Ponting and Jones appearing again on at least one occasion with a smattering of Hewett's as well.

William returned to the UK "for a visit" leaving from New York on 22 May 1920. He returned to Canada on 4 October 1920. The passenger card suggests he had lost a brother to tuberculosis five years previously. In 1921, Reverend W S Wickenden was resident at Battle River, Alberta. He returned  to the United Kingdom and in 1939 was the vicar at Blanchard, Northumberland. Reverend Walter Spillman Wickenden died on 18 January 1956 and was buried at Widdrington, Northumberland.

In 1939 Percival S Barnett is shown as "married" but is listed at 1 Princes Street, City of London with 5 other bank employees. Alice was living at 23, St Mary's Street, Cambridge, with son Alan. They were most likely staying with Percival's brother and his family. Percival Stephen Barnett died on 3 January 1952 at 94 Bingham Road, Croydon.

In 1911 William and Mary's son William Frank Wickenden, aged 18, an assistant grocer was boarding with Martha Hinds at 73 & 75 Broad Walk, Rainham, Kent. The census confirms that he was born in Southborough. William Frank Wickenden died on 21 February 1919 and was buried at Cheriton Road Cemetery, Folkestone. He would have been around 26 years old. 

In 1921 William and Mary's son Robert Leslie Wickenden was visiting his sister Alice and her husband Percival Stephen Barnett at 46 Lovelace Gardens, Southend on Sea.

William and Mary's son Horace Watson Wickenden also seems to have emigrated to Canada for on 9 July 1933 he returns to England where he intends to stay at Yeo Farm, Down St Mary, Devon. He gives his occupation as a teacher. He returns to Canada on 19 August 1933. The passenger list indicates he had been in Canada from August 1920 to June 1933. Travelling with him was his daughter Mary Julia Wickenden born in Canada around 1930. In October 1933 his wife Edyth E Wickenden and son Thomas W age 10 months arrive in Quebec. The passenger listed shows that Edyth had previously been in Canada from September 1923 to May 1932. It had been Edyth Ellen Strong who arrived in 1923 with a view to teaching. I presume she met and married Horace in Canada. Edyth Ellen Wickenden died on 3 January 1953 Horace later married Margaret Mary Robinson. In 1957 Horace W Wickenden, teacher is listed on the electoral roll at 335 Wilbur Court, Saskatoon along with wife Margaret and son Tom.

On 27 May 1860 Richard remarried in the Holy Trinity Church, Westminster. He was a 36 year old widower, a silk mercer.  His bride was Amelia Coleman, aged 32, the daughter of Joseph Coleman, gentleman. 

I can find no trace of Richard and Amelia in the 1861 census. Richard and Eliza's daughter Eliza, aged 12, was staying with her uncle and aunt Walter and Sarah Pearman at 174, 175 and 176 High Street, Cheltenham. Their son Richard, aged 10 and a scholar, was staying with another aunt, Harriett Adams at 19 Oak Street, Bath. Harriett was a 44 year old widow who had born in Berkeley (circ.1817). 

By 1871 Richard and Amelia were living at 47 Hanover Square, London. Richard, now 47 describes himself as a "traveller". Daughter "Mary" was back at home. She is now 22 and a milliner. 

In 1881 Richard and Amelia are living at 5 Brigade Terrace, Battersea and Richard is a warehouseman in the woolen trade. Neither child remains at home.

William Jones had been baptised 2 June 1833 at Berkeley, the son of William and Ann Jones of Appleridge. Later censuses indicate that William's father William had been born in 1808 at Hill, and so I believe him to be William and Elizabeth's son.In 1841 William and Elizabeth are living in Hill where William is still farming.

William Jones had been baptised 2 June 1833 at Berkeley, the son of William and Ann Jones of Appleridge. Later censuses indicate that William's father William had been born in 1808 at Hill, and so I believe him to be William and Elizabeth's son.

In 1851 William Jones aged 70 was a freehold farmer of 20 acres was living in Rockhampton with one house servant, Mabel Leeder.

The only one of Henry and Elizabeth's children not at home in 1891 was Mary Louisa Young. Mary was a drapers assistant, living and working for Thomas Hewett Ponting in Westbourne Grove (Chapter 6). Thomas Ponting and Elizabeth Wetmore Jones were 2nd cousins through the Jones line and would be related more distantly through the Wetmore line. What had taken Mary to London? Did the family relationship provide the opportunity? Mary had also been born in Rudgeway which is close to where Sydney and Emily Ponting (Chapter 9) returned to live in the 1890's. Did this have an influence?

In 1901 Elizabeth was still farming Church Farm, Alveston. Her step children, Ada L Young and Harry S Young and Frances A Young, aged 24 and Wallace J Young remained at home.

Frances had married and her husband Frederick Chapman, aged 36, was similarly described.  Elsie Longdon, a 17 year old domestic servant was also at the address,  

Elizabeth Wetmore Young of Church Farm, Alveston died aged 75 (the burial record says 76) and was buried on 12 November 1921 at Alverston. 

In 1891 it's possible that Henry and Leah's daughter Susanna Teresa Young was visiting Daniel E Holbourne and his wife at East combe Farm House, Castle Coombe. Daniel was a 36 year old farmer, his wife was 32, both had been born in Wiltshire. "Teresa S" Young was 28 years old and born Rudgeway, Gloucestershire.  I can find no trace of Susanna in the 1901 census. it is possible that Susanna died, aged 45 and was buried on 8 March 1909 in Heavitree, Devon.
