Who Saw What Part Two
Proceeding to the great-grandparents of Charles Albert Eldridge, a little more is revealed about the origins of the Eldridges, in Surrey.
The map below shows the move from Mortlake St. Mary, which holds the records of the first Eldridges in Mortlake, to Putney St. Mary, where the next generation of children were to be born.

Who Saw What Part One
Since the tree of Charles Albert Eldridge is so long and convoluted the following sections provide an overview of his descent, together with some historical markers just to give a sense of the surrounding context and the events of the day. As can be seen, the Eldridges moved to the Wirrall in the nineteenth century but prior to that were living in Putney.
The map below meanwhile shows Lenham, the birthplace of Emily Coulter, Charles' grandmother in relation to Boughton-under-Blean where she was living at the time of the 1841 census.

Surnames and Their Meanings
This information about some of the major surnames in Hetty Jane Owen’s line has been copied directly from the website House of Names (https://www.houseofnames.com/). Other such surname derivation sites give broadly similar interpretations. No reliable information has turned up however regarding the origins of the Hounsell surname, or the Hadzor surname, aside from its Norman French pedigree and variants. There is however a village called Hadzor in Worcestershire that might provide some clue to the migrations of the family from Normandy to Ireland.
Bradley: This is an early medieval Anglo-Scottish surname. Recorded in a surprising number of spellings including Bradly, Bradley, Braudly, Broadley, Bruidley, Braidley, Breadley, Bradlie, Bradeley, Pradley, and Radley, it is residential and originates either from the varied villages called Bradley, or from now lost places which had the meaning of a 'broad clearing suitable for agriculture'. Derived from the pre 7th century English word "brad-leah", a large number of the English places are recorded in the famous Domesday Book of William, the Conqueror in 1086. Given a little French twist the spellings shown are Bradelei, Bradelea, and Bradelie, and from these it is easy to see how many of the later variant surname forms developed. Early interesting examples of the surname recording include John de Bradely of Berwick, who rendered homage to the republican government of Scotland in 1296, and James Bradley (1693 - 1762), the astronomer royal, whose family originate from Bradley Castle, near Wolsingham, in County Durham. Amongst the many recordings of the name in the church registers of the city of London is that of the marriage of John Bradley and Annis Whitby at St. Dunstans in the East, Stepney, on April 9th 1564, whilst James Braidley, originally christened as James Bradley in 1805, was a christening witness at St Pancras Old Church, on September 21st 1838. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of William de Bradelai. This was dated 1170, in the Pipe Rolls of Lincolnshire, during the reign of King Henry 11nd, 1154 - 1189.

Davies: recorded in the spellings of Davis, Davies, Davie, and several others, this is an English patronymic surname, although much associated with Wales. It means 'the son of David', from the Hebrew male given name meaning "beloved". The name is not recorded in any part of Britain before the Norman Conquest of 1066, and is regarded as being a 'Crusader' introduction. In the 12th century all the parts of Christendom joined in expeditions to free the Holy Land from the infidel. Although all the crusades were militarily unsuccessful, and have remained so to this day, the returning soldiers 'adopted' certain biblical and Greek names, of which David was one, and gave them to their children, particularly their sons. Amongst the very earliest recordings of the given name predating the surnames is that of 'Dauid clericus', (David, the clerk), in the rolls of the county of Lincoln for the year 1150, whilst Richard Davy appears in the Subsidy rolls of Worcester for the year 1275. Further examples include Thomas Dayson in the 1327 Pipe Rolls of Yorkshire, and Richard Davys is listed in the Register of the Freemen of the City of York for the year 1402. An interesting bearer of the name was Sir Thomas Davies (1631 - 1680), a bookseller, who became master of the Stationer's Guild in 1668 and was Lord Mayor of London in 1666, during the Great Fire of London. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of John Dauisse, which was dated 1327, in the Subsidy Rolls of the county of Cambridgeshire, during the reign of King Edward 111, known as "The Father of the Navy", 1327 - 1377.

Jones: This famous surname, widespread throughout the British Isles, and the most popular surname in Wales, one in ten Welsh people being so-called, is nevertheless of English medieval origins. It derives either from the male given name John, or its female equivalent Joan, both Norman French introductions after the 1066 Invasion. Both names are written as Jon(e) in medieval documents, and a clear distinction between them on the grounds of gender was not made until the 15th Century. However, because western society has almost invariably had a male as family head throughout history, bearers of the surname Jones are more likely to derive it from a patronymic form of John, than a matronymic form of Joan. The personal name John, ultimately from the Hebrew "Yochanan" meaning "Jehovah has favoured (me with a son)", has always enjoyed enormous popularity in Europe, and particularly so after the famous Crusades of the 12th century. The name, which is found in some four hundred spellings, is in honour of St. John the Baptist, the precursor of Christ. The surname as "Jones", first appears on record in England in the latter part of the 13th Century, and also features as one of the most numerous settler names in Ireland, having been introduced in the wake of the Anglo- Norman Invasion of 1170. It is now found in every Irish county, especially in the larger towns, and has also been Gaelicized as "MacSeoin". The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Matilda Jones, which was dated 1273, in the "Hundred Rolls of Huntingdonshire", during the reign of King Edward 1st, known as "The Hammer of the Scots", reigned 1272 - 1307.

Owen: Recorded as Owan, Owen, Owens, Owin, Howen, and according to the International Genealogical Index - Oen, Oene, Onn, this famous name is most strongly associated with Wales. It is said to derive from the pre 7th century Celtic personal name Ouein, which itself was either from the word 'oen' meaning a lamb, or the Roman (Latin) 'eugerius, meaning well-born. Both may have contributed, because in any case the surname is first recorded, not in Wales, but far away in the English county of Warwickshire as shown below. However for the past seven centuries at least, Owen has been probably the most popular of all Welsh personal names and is probably second to Jones in the list of surname popularities within the country. Some forty nameholders are featured in ancient Welsh legends and these include Owen Gwynedd, a 12th century chieftain, and Owain Glyndwr, 1353 - 1416, the greatest hero of Welsh history. He was the true Prince of Wales who established the Welsh parliaments and nearly became an independent King of Wales. He was defeated by the overwhelming forces of King Henry 1V of England.

Robinson: This is one of the most interesting and evocative surnames of the British Isles, whilst being recorded throughout the English speaking world. It is a medieval patronymic from the given name Robin, itself a diminutive of the popular Anglo-Saxon pre 7th century personal name Robert. This was originally a compound name with the elements "hrothi", and "berhta", meaning "fame-bright". As such it is first recorded in England in the famous Domesday Book of 1086. It is said that the name was originally made popular by Robin Goodfellow, whose mischievous tricks were later described in Shakespeare's, "Midsummer Night's Dream", and perhaps even more so by Robin of Locksley, otherwise known as Robin Hood, who it is said (without too much evidence) stole from the rich to give to the poor. The surname was first recorded in the latter half of the 13th Century (see below), and one Margaret Robines appeared in the Hundred Rolls of Cambridgeshire, dated 1279. In the modern idiom, the surname can be found recorded as Robyns, Robins, Robens, Robbings, Robinson and Robens. Recordings from early surviving London church registers include: the marriage of Helen Robinson and Thomas Grene on October 1st 1548, at St. Leonard's, Eastcheap, and the marriage of Christopher Robinson and Jone Millman on November 4th 1565, at St. Mary Abchurch, London. An early settler in the New World Colonies was John Robinson, aged 26, who sailed from London on the ship "Peter Bonaventure", bound for the 'Barbadoes' in April 1635. The Coat of Arms most associated with the name is a green shield charged with a gold chevron between three gold bucks standing at gaze. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Dera Robins, which was dated 1273, in the Hundred Rolls of Cambridgeshire.

West: This long-established surname is of early medieval English origins. It is topographical deriving from the Olde English pre 7th century word "west", and as such it described a person or persons who lived to the west of a main settlement. Alternatively it may have been a regional descriptive nickname for someone who had migrated from "The west" to another part of the country. Perhaps not entirely surprisingly it is first recorded in the county of Essex, which is as far to the east as it is possible to go. The surname is first recorded in the 12th century (see below), and other early recordings include: Goche West, who appears in the Pipe Rolls of Norfolk in 1197, and William del West, who is recorded in the Select Pleas of Essex in 1292. Nicholas West (1461 - 1533), sometime bishop of Ely, was frequently employed on diplomatic missions to Scotland, Germany, France and Castile during the period 1502 - 1525. He was also chaplain to Queen Catherine of Aragon, the first wife of King Henry V111th, and was opposed to the divorce proceedings of 1529. One of the earliest settlers in the English colonies in the New World was John West. He embarked from the port of London in May 1635, aboard the ship "Speedwell" bound for Virginia. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Maurice de West. This was dated 1152, in the Pipe Rolls of Essex, during the reign of King Stephen, known as "Count of Blois", 1135 - 1154.
http://www.surnamedb.com/Surname/West - ixzz53Eo6RjJr
Williams: Recorded in various spellings including William, Williams, and Williamson, this is a surname which can be of English, Scottish, Irish, and Welsh origins. Wherever found it is ultimately Germanic, and was introduced into England and Scotland around the time of the Norman Conquest of 1066. Carried by four English kings, it derives from the personal name "Wilhelm" composed of the elements "wil", meaning "of strong mind", and "helm", translating literally as helmet, but in this context meaning "protection". As a patronymic the short form of "s", meaning "son of", is often added, although the name is popular particularly in Scotland in its long style of Williamson. Political correctness is not a new phenomena, and after the accession of King William 1st in 1066, the name became the most popular British personal name, and with the creation of surnames from the 12th century, an equally popular surname. The list of prominent holders of the surname is almost endless, but one of the more unusual could be said to be the famous republican Oliver Cromwell, who "reigned" in England from 1650 to 1658, and whose family were formerly called Williams. They held extensive estates in Wales, but under instructions from King Henry V111 (1510 - 1547), the family name was changed to Cromwell. Griffith Williams, (1589 -1672), was the bishop of Ossory in Ireland, and a staunch supporter of the martyrd King Charles 1st. Edward Williams, (1746 - 1826), helped to preserve the ancient Welsh language being Chief Druid and bard of Wales. The first recorded spelling of the family name is believed to be that of Richard William. This was dated 1279, in the "Hundred Rolls" of the county of Oxfordshire, England.

Wombwell: This name, with variant spellings Wombell, Woombell, Woombill, Woomble and Womwell, is of northern English locational origin from a place in the West Riding of Yorkshire called Wombwell. Recorded as Wanbella in the Domesday Book of 1086 and as Wambwelle c.1200 in Early Yorkshire Charters, the name derives from the Olde English pre 7th personal byname Wamba meaning "rounded" (perhaps used here in a transferred sense to describe a mound or hill), plus the Olde English "Wella", a spring or stream; hence, "Wamba's Spring" or "the spring by the mound". The surname from this source is first recorded in the early 13th Century, (see below). In 1379 one, Isabella de Wombewell appears in the Poll Tax Returns of Yorkshire and in 1558 Thomas Wombwell and Annie Perye were married in St. Michael's Church, Cornhill, London. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Reiner de Wambewell, witness, which was dated 1219 - The Assize Court Rolls of Yorkshire, during the reign of King Henry III, The Frenchman, 1216 - 1272. 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.

The Line of John Jones and Gwen Davies
First Generation
|
|||
1.
|
John Jones
(1805-????) m. Gwen Davies (1806-????)
|
||
2.
|
i
|
Griffith
Jones (1821–1879). He was born in Llanrwst. He married Catherine Davies, also
of Llanrwst and they had six children. It was Griffith who apprenticed the
young David Owen and taught him
his printing and bookbinding trade. He was still following his profession in
Llanykil in 1871.
|
|
ii
|
Owen
Jones (1826–????). He was born in Llanrwst. Nothing further is known.
|
||
iii
|
Ellis
Jones (1827–????). He was born in Llanrwst. Nothing further is known.
|
||
3.
|
iv
|
Jane Jones
(1828–1900). As we know, Jane was
born in Llanrwst and married David
Owen in Bala in 1853. They had three children, to be investigated in due
course.
|
|
v
|
Edward
Jones (1830-????). Nothing further is known.
|
||
vi
|
John
Parry Jones (1836–????). In 1871 and 1881 he was boarding with the Davies
family in Denbigh and working as a printer’s compositor.
|
||
This
late nineteenth-century chapel would seem to stand more or less where 106
High Street, Bala would have stood. Note the old walls, just to the left.
Second Generation
(First cousins x1 removed of Hetty
Jane Owen)
|
|||
2.
|
Griffith
Jones (1821–1879) m. Catherine Davies,
|
||
i
|
Elizabeth
Ann Jones (1850–????) was born in Bala. In 1881, after the death of her
father, she was still living with her mother in Llanykil and working as a
milliner. Her mother is listed as a stationer’s widow, which may just conform
well enough with being a printer and bookbinder.
|
||
4.
|
ii
|
Owen
Evan Jones (1851–????). Owen was born in Bala, and was another printer’s
compositor. He eventually moved to London, where by this point he had
relatives. The 1901 census finds him living in Tottenham, still following his
trade and married to a Sarah A. Chamberlain of Stoke Newington with whom he
had six children.
|
|
5.
|
iii
|
Griffith
Jones (1853–????). He was living in Aston, Birmingham, in 1881, and married
to a Susanna from Ruthin. Griffith was working as an ironmonger and they had
a son called William. He was then living at 163 Clifton Road. His younger
brother, Peter, was living next door to him.
|
|
iv
|
Sarah
Catherine Jones (1859–????). Again, nothing definite.
|
||
v
|
Peter
Davies Jones (1861–????). He was another printer’s compositor. In 1881, he
was working in Aston, Birmingham, and living at 161 Clifton Road as a
boarder, next door to his elder brother.
|
||
vi
|
John
Jones (1864–????). He appears in the 1881 census, living with his mother, and
working as a grocer’s apprentice, after which there is nothing further to
report.
|
||
 This run-down workshop is also a candidate for having been 106 Bala High Street.
The
line of David Owen and Jane Jones (3) is excluded for now,
and so we move to the:
Third Generation
(second cousins of Hetty Jane Owen)
|
|||
4.
|
Owen
Evan Jones (1851–????). m. Sarah A. Chamberlain
|
||
i
|
Francis
E J Jones (1880–????). Francis is not in the 1901 Tottenham census, but is
present at 24 Victoria Road, Hornsey in what looks a like a fairly carelessly
taken 1891 census report. Since Sarah Chamberlain is recorded as being
fifty-nine years old and a full nineteen years older than Owen, a slight
dilemma presents itself, since none of the recorded children could have been
hers. The 1911 census clarifies the matter. Sarah was ten years younger than
Owen Evan, and hence born in about 1861.
|
||
ii
|
Griffith
Jones (1882–????) was born in Stoke Newington, and was working as a London
barman in 1901.
|
||
6.
|
iii
|
Gertrude
May Jones (1888–1951) was born in Stoke Newington and died in Stroud Green,
Middlesex. She married John Stanley White (1886-1950). They had at least one
child. In 1911 she was living with her parents and was a national telephone
operator.
|
|
iv
|
Donald
O Jones (1890–????). He is listed in the 1891 Hornsey census, but not in the
1901 Tottenham census. There is no further information to add.
|
||
v
|
May
W Jones (1892–????) was born in Stoke Newington. In 1911, she was living with
her parents and working as a waitress.
|
||
vi
|
Owen
E Jones (1896-????) was born in Tottenham. He was a watchmaker and repairer
in 1911, when he was still living with his parents. There is nothing further
to report.
|
||
5.
|
Griffith
Jones (1853-????) m. Susanna
|
||
i
|
William
Jones (1879-????) was born in Birmingham. That is as much as we know.
|
||
Fourth Generation
|
|||
6.
|
Gertrude
May Jones (1888–1951) m. John Stanley White (1886-1950).
|
||
i
|
John
Derek White (1929-2006). He died in Ipswich, and was a third cousin of Hetty Jane Owen’s children.
