<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The religious faith of Edenboroughs
in the United Kingdom were, in the main, of the Established Church (Church of
England) so it was of great interest to find a record of one Edenborough
appearing to be of the Quaker faith.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The above photo, “Clawson. John
Edenborah buryed ye 11th: 10th mo: 1716”, is taken from RG6/1397 – <span lang="EN" style="color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">General

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">Among the large number of religious denominations that emerged during the
early-to-mid-17th century in England was the Seekers. And while</span>
Leicestershire-born George Fox has been considered the founder and leader of
the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), the Seekers <span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">are best thought of as the forerunner of the
Quakers, with whom many of them subsequently merged</span>. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">George Fox’s journal attributes the name “Quaker” to a judge in 1650
calling them Quakers “because I bid them tremble before the Lord”. </span>Quakerism
gained a considerable following in England and Wales during and after the
English Civil War (1642-1651) increasing to a peak of 60,000 by 1680.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">By 1657, a Friends’ meeting had been settled
at Long Clawson and in 1673 a cottage and close for a</span> meeting house and
burial ground had been secured. </span></div>

of Oliver Cromwell's Puritan government, as well as that of Charles II, when
the monarchy was restored because Fox’s followers refused to pay tithes to the
state church, would not take oaths in court, declined to doff their hats to
those in power, and refused to serve in combat during war. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Although I have no proof at present, he may also be the Jno Edinborow of Hose who in 1683 gave a Quaker Intent of Marriage to Mary Blake of Harby. This would also tie in with the son Charles mentioned in the above will and I have a record of a Charles Edenborough born approximately 1686 in Hose, Leicestershire. My records show, though, that Charles practised the faith of the Established Church. So was John a one-off? Perhaps acquiescing to a Quaker wife?</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Annie Edenborough was born on 16
July 1888 at Paddington, New South Wales, the fourth of eight children born to
Edwin and Teresa Edenborough (nee Persiani). </span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Annie’s paternal grandfather was
Arthur Edenborough (Ancestor #1) who worked for many years as a tidewaiter for
the New South Wales Customs Department, an occupation that was to see him
forcibly carried away aboard an American vessel, the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Emerald Isle</i>, in January 1851. He was finally released in <st1:city w:st="on">Honolulu</st1:city>, and with the help of the British Consul there,
was returned back to <st1:city w:st="on">Sydney</st1:city> via <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New Zealand</st1:place></st1:country-region> in
June 1851.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Annie’s maternal grandfather,
Peter Persiani, was also involved with seafaring: family lore being that he was
a sea captain who went down with his ship! He certainly disappeared after his
daughter Teresa (Annie’s mother) was born in Sydney in 1862 but whether he
perished at sea or deserted his family remains a mystery. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Prior to marriage, Annie
Edenborough remained at home assisting her mother with younger children and
other domestic duties required in a large household instead of obtaining a
profession for herself. She </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">eventually met and married
James Dempsey at Paddington, New South Wales, in 1910. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Throughout their
courtship, James sent many beautiful greeting cards to Annie and, as was the
common practice of the day, Annie faithfully stored them in a postcard album
that had been an eighteenth<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></sup><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>birthday present to her from her older sister
Jessie and Jessie’s husband, Frank Booth.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">As a 21-year-old, Christopher Edinborough enlisted at Scio,
New York on 13 May 1861 for a term of three years and was mustered to the 65th
New York Infantry Regiment. A physical description of Christopher is gleaned
from his regimental <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Company Descriptive Book</i>
which states that he was 5 feet 5 inches tall, of dark complexion with brown
eyes and black hair. Born in London, England, his occupation was given as shoemaker.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Initially mustered into C Company as a Corporal, Christopher
was promoted to Sergeant on 15 Nov 1862 before being returned to ranks as a Private
on 1 Feb 1863. On 15 April 1863 he was promoted back to Corporal.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A document recently found on Ancestry.com entitled <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">New York, Town Clerks’ Registers of Men Who
Served in the Civil War, ca 1861-1865</i> revealed three other male
Edinboroughs also signed up. They were: Charles (enlisted 12 May 1861), Fergus
(3 Apr 1865) and Luther (3 Apr 1865). The document was a good find as the four
enlistees were in fact brothers, sons of Christopher and Sarah Edinborough, confirming
they had emigrated from England as a family in 1855.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Returning to Christopher (of the 65th NY Regiment), while so
far I haven’t located a marriage record for him I do know that he married an
American woman named Carrie and presumably this was after his discharge from the
65th NY Regiment. The US Census reveals that by 1880 they were living at Wilton
in Iowa with two children: a son, Arthur W (7yrs), and a daughter Jesse M (5yrs). </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Christopher died in 1892 and is buried at Grand Junction Cemetery,
Greene County, Iowa. Carrie survived her husband for a further 31 years and was
buried at Grand Junction Cemetery in 1923.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In 1933, the light cruiser HMS <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Phaeton</i>
was meant for the British Royal Navy but was purchased by the
Australian government prior to launching. It was renamed as HMAS <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sydney</i> (II), in memory of an earlier <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sydney</i> (I) that in 1914, had destroyed the
German cruiser <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Emden</i>.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Following her commissioning in 1935, the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sydney</i> spent the early part of her

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sydney</i> then remained
on local patrol duties after the outbreak of World War II before being assigned
to the British Mediterranean Fleet </span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">for an eight-month deployment from April 1940 –
during which time she encountered several engagements while receiving minimal
damage and no casualties.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Following her return to Australian waters in 1941, her
arrival in Fremantle on 5 February received a hero’s welcome. Upon arrival in
Sydney, a few days later, her crew received a civic reception and school
children were given a public holiday so they could watch her crew parade
through the city’s streets.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">On Armistice Day, 11 November 1941, the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sydney</i> sailed from Fremantle to escort the troopship <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Zealandia</i> to Sunda Strait where she was
to be relieved by the British cruiser HMS <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Durban</i>
for the last leg of a voyage to Singapore. The voyage was without incident and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sydney</i> was expected to arrive back in
Fremantle on the afternoon of 20 November 1941. Having not returned to
Fremantle by 23 November the Naval Board requested her to report by signal to
which there was no reply.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Piecing together the events of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sydney</i>’s disappearance, it was revealed that on the afternoon of 19
November the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sydney</i> had come upon
what was thought to be a merchant vessel but was, in fact, the German raider <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Kormoran</i>. In an effort to establish the
identity of the vessel, the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sydney</i>
closed the distance to a point where she no longer had any advantage of her
superior armament.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When concealment of the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Kormoran</i>’s
true identity was no longer possible, the German raider opened fire with all
armament as well as dispensing two torpedoes striking the Sydney. In the heat
of the battle the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sydney</i> also managed
to inflict severe damage to the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Kormoran</i>.
</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The result of the destructive engagement saw all 42 officers
and 603 ratings on board the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sydney</i>
perish. The crippled <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Kormoran</i> was eventually
skuttled by her captain, with her German crew abandoning ship. Of her 399 crew,
318 were found following a large-scale sea and air search.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Despite the approximate position of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Kormoran</i> being known, multiple attempts to locate the two wrecks failed
to find either ship until March 2008 when the wrecks of both <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sydney</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Kormoran</i> were located by shipwreck investigator David Mearns who had
directed a search on behalf of the Finding <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sydney</i> Foundation. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The discovery of the wrecks revealed much about the battle
and lent support to the generally accepted version of events from the surviving
German crew members of the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Kormoran</i>.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">On board HMAS <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Sydney</i>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Then, of course, there is also the Duke of Edinburgh! So far
I haven’t paid a lot of attention to the honorific title, but it does fall into
the realm of a one name study.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Named after the city of Edinburgh, Scotland, it is a title
that was created in 1726 for the British royal family. To date it has only been
used 4 times.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It was first created by George I who bestowed it on his
grandson, Prince Frederick, who would later become Prince of Wales. Following
Frederick’s death, the title was inherited by Frederick’s son, Prince George,
who became George III in 1760. At that time the title, Duke of Edinburgh, ceased
to exist.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In 1866, Queen Victoria re-created the title for her second
son, Prince Alfred. Alfred’s only son committed suicide in 1899 and, so again, the
title Duke of Edinburgh was to become extinct.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Then in 1947 the title was created for a fourth time. King
George VI, bestowed it upon his son-in-law, Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten, upon
his marriage to the Princess Elizabeth. Until Elizabeth became Queen in 1952, the
princess was known as HRH Princess Elizabeth, Duchess of Edinburgh.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, is now the longest-serving
and oldest-ever spouse of a British monarch. He is also currently the
oldest-ever male member of the British royal family.</span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The son of a railway guard, Alfred Thomas Edenborough was born
12 January 1857 at Paddington, London, MDX. The 1871 census shows the then 14-year-old
Alfred Thomas working as a telegraph messenger in the postal service. Alfred
Thomas remained with the postal service until joining the London Metropolitan
Police at Great Scotland Yard on 3 June 1878 where he was subsequently posted to
K Division (Stepney) as a constable. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The Metropolitan Police was established in 1829 by Sir
Robert Peel, the then Home Secretary, by an Act of Parliament. It must have
seemed to be a worthy occupation, as within a year of establishment the force numbered
3000 men from an initial recruitment of 895 constables, 88 sergeants, 20
inspectors, eight superintendents and two commissioners of police.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">By the 1881 census, Alfred Thomas had been posted to Y
Division (Highgate) where he was to remain for two years before being moved on to
A Division (Whitehall) for eight months. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Following his eight-month stint as a constable at A Division,
Alfred Thomas was then transferred to T Division (Kensington). He would remain at T
Division until his retirement on 29 April 1901 at the age of 44 years following
22 years, 10 months and 25 days of service.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Attached to his service number were the letters TR which
means that Alfred Thomas was <span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">part </span></span><span style="color: black; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">of the Reserve Force. The Reserve
was the top class to which a constable could aspire without taking
promotion. Many older officers achieved this and they would be used on
all the prestigious London events and had to maintain a higher standard of
dress, conduct and turn out than other officers</span><strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">.</span></strong></span><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">His pension record provides the following physical description
of Alfred Thomas:</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Height: 6 feet 0 inches</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Hair: Fair turning grey – bald on top</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Eyes: Grey</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Never injured</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Alfred Thomas married Mary Ann Smith, the daughter of a
butcher, at St Peter’s Church, Paddington, MDX, on 24 May 1882. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Over the next 15 years they were to have seven children: Alfred E, Annie M, Lizzie J, Matilda G, Daisy,
Rosa A and Harold T.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Among the many cases that Alfred Thomas was no doubt
involved in, was the following murder/suicide reported in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Times</i> of 5 February 1879<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">1</span></sup>:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Henry Edenborough, fifth child of Samuel & Sarah
Edenborough (née Bolton) was born on 14 May 1812 at Bruce Grove, Tottenham,
Middlesex. At the age of 15 he was employed by the Honourable East India
Company in the Mercantile Marine Branch as a midshipman, per <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Lord Lowther</i> (1827-28), and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Abercrombie Robinson</i> (1829-30). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> By late 1833, Henry had left the employ of the HEIC and had
made at least one voyage to Sydney as captain of the schooner <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Emma</i>. Then in 1834, he took up the
position of master of a newly-built 380-ton barque part-owned by his father
Samuel. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This first voyage as the newly
installed master of the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Augusta Jessie</i>
was to Tasmania, arriving 22 Jan 1835 with a cargo of 210 male convicts. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> Several more voyages to Australia followed before Henry married
Margaret Stedman in London in 1836. They eventually travelled to Australia, on
board the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Elphinstone</i> in 1840, to
take up residence at Wollogorang in the Goulburn district of New South Wales.
It is believed that the impressive homestead that still stands today was built
by Henry in 1846. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The first of Henry and Margaret’s six children, Henry
Bolton, was baptised in Sydney shortly after his parents arrival in the colony in
1840; the remaining five children though – Charles Allen (1842), Bishop Reynold
(1843), Margaret Annie (1845), Edith Jane (1846) and Spencer Neville(1848) –
were all born at Wollogorang.</span><br />
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The 1841 census of New South Wales shows that Wollogorang
supported four ticket-of-leave men, five shepherds, eight gardeners and
stockmen, and four domestic servants.</span><br />
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;">As if running a large sheep and cattle station wasn’t
enough, Henry also involved himself in the local community; gave an acre of
land for an Anglican church as well as a further acre for a cemetery and became
a Justice of the Peace before being appointed a Magistrate of the Territory in
1844. Henry is often quoted as being a colourful figure who owned a racehorse
but this statement is incorrect and it was in fact Henry’s younger brother,
Horatio who spent some time in New South Wales, who was the racehorse owner. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> The <em>Goulburn Herald</em> of 17 Jan 1849 stated that Governor
Fitzroy, Deas Thompson (the Colonial Secretary) and party “partook of luncheon”
at Wollogorang and “were much gratified at the off-handed and unpretending
hospitality of Mr Edenborough, for which the gentlemen of the district know him
to be so remarkable”.</span><br />
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;">In 1854, Henry sold Wollogorang and all stock to his
neighbour, J W Chisholm, and with his entire family returned to England
arriving there at the end of 1854.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> Henry died at Chesham Lodge, Surrey, on 6 Feb 1855, aged 43
years. Margaret survived her husband by 14 years dying at Sheffield Gardens,
Kensington on 26 Oct 1869.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> In 1992, Henry was honoured for his participation in the
development of Australia by having his name affixed to a plaque located near
the Overseas Shipping Terminal on Sydney Harbour.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The following obituary appeared in the <em>Morning Post</em> of 21
November 1865:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">DEATH OF A VETERAN SURGEON – On the 15th inst., Mr William
Edenborough, formerly of Coleman-street, departed this life at his residence,
Upper Holloway, after much suffering, in his 86th year. Mr Edenborough was one
of the oldest, if not the oldest, as he was also (up to his retirement from
active life, 10 years ago) one of the most respected and best known City
medical practitioners. The deceased, a native of Nottingham, was articled to Mr
Hunt of Loughborough, a man of much eminence in his day. So far back as the
commencement of the present century, Mr Edenborough entered St Thomas’s and Guy’s,
where he made the acquaintance of the eminent surgeon, Mr Cline, and also that
of Sir Astley Cooper, who was then commencing his distinguished career. Mr
Edenborough had a large and successful practice for nearly half a century, and
included amongst his patients many of the first bankers and merchants and other
celebrities of the City. He was a man of great decision and indomitable energy,
and, as a consequence, rarely failed in accomplishing any object of benevolence
on which he once set his heart. His extensive practice – ranging over so
lengthened a period – naturally presented numerous cases of distress to his
notice, to which he ever lent a ready ear, and generally afforded effective aid.
The deceased has left a widow to mourn his loss.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">Until the early
20th century, a man's promise of engagement</span><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">
to marry
a woman was considered a legally binding contract.
If the man was to then change his mind, he would be said to be in
"breach" of this promise and could be taken to court for damages.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The following
case was reported in the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Evening Express</i>
on 4 May 1895.</span></span></div>
<br />
<h4 class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: center;">
JILTED BY HER JOURNALIST LOVER</h4>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>His Love-Letters Were Many and Sweet and He Burst Into
Poetry Once</strong></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mrs Fanny Elizabeth Edenborough, a widow, living at Cadogan
Lodge, Cadogan-road, Surbiton, brought an action on Friday before the Sheriffs
of Surrey against Mr Lionel Rupert Brocklebank, a journalist, living at Christ
Church Vicarage, Chesham, for damages for breach of promise of marriage. </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mr
Wildey Wright appeared for the plaintiff, a pre-possessing young widow of
ladylike appearance. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The plaintiff, said Mr Wright, was not yet 27 years of
age. She was married when she was seventeen or eighteen, and her husband, who
occupied a very good position in the City, died early in 1892, leaving her with
two young children, and with an income of £150 to £200 a year. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In July, 1894,
she went to a little village near Polruan, in Cornwall, to stay with some
friends, and while there she met the defendant. Defendant was very attentive to
her, and took her for boating and driving excursions. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On September 26 defendant
came from Polruan to the house of his brother-in-law, now Vicar of
Christchurch, Chesham. The following day he visited Mrs Edenborough at
Surbiton, and then and there made a formal proposal of marriage. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A few days
after the engagement he wrote to her, addressing her as “My own darling Ponte,”
a name he had given her after a river in Cornwall, and telling her that he was
writing a short tale in “Tit-Bits”. He concluded, “With all my love and kisses,
my own dearest darling, loved little girl, from your ever loving Rupert.”
(Laughter.) In another letter which he wrote soon afterwards he asked her to “kiss
the kiddies for me, my darling,” and concluded in the same endearing language.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the next letter, after writing to her in similar language, he said: “My
brother-in-law has just gone out to marry a couple. How I wish it were you and
I! I will get him to do the job for us soon. What do you think?” (Laughter.) In
another letter he said his sister had “pumped” all the news of his engagement
out of him, and signed himself as “Your own loving boy.” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Other letters began in
the same way as the former ones, and ended, “My own dearest, truest, darling,
loved, treasured, precious pet, from your ever-loving Rupert.” (Laughter.) </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On
October 28 the defendant wrote the following letter: “My very own dearest Ponte –
Your darling letter arrived, which I was very pleased to receive, dear heart. I
am glad you agree with my sister in thinking I will make a good husband.
Dearest, I will try, and if I don’t succeed it won’t be my fault. Yesterday I
had a good day’s writing. I wrote an article on – what do you think, dear – 'How
to Propose'. (Laughter.) I hope 'Answers' will take it. I am sure it’s amusing
enough, if not instructive. I have let out all the secrets of the trade,
darling. (Laughter.) In another letter he said: I would rather spend one
evening with you, my darling little sweetheart, than attend all the balls and
amusements I could cram into a month.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> On November 29 he broke out into poetry:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
I cannot work, I cannot play,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
There’s nothing left worthwhile to say,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
The hours are long, the days are dear, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
Oh, how I wish my love were near –</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
My love’s away.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
The time will come, also the day,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
When I shall go down Kingston way,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
To see my darling once again,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
And join the links of an unbroken chain –</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
With love away.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(Laughter.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Towards the end of December the defendant’s letters got
cooler. Before this, however, defendant had told plaintiff that he had
previously been engaged to another lady, the daughter of a wealthy lady in
Manchester. Owing to the parent’s objection, the match was broken off. The
defendant also bought plaintiff two rings, which the other lady had returned to
him, but she indignantly refused to accept such second-hand goods, and he
apologised for offering them to her. When plaintiff wrote asking the reason of
his coolness, he replied on New Year’s Day that he was afraid he had made a
mistake in engaging himself to her, and his thoughts were constantly reverting
to the other young lady at Manchester.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> The jury awarded the plaintiff £250 damages. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
Judgment accordingly.</span><br />

Arthur was the ninth child of Samuel and Sarah Edenborough and was born 19 Dec 1820 at 37 Milk Street, London. He was baptised the following month on 19 Jan 1821 in the parish church of the united parishes of St Lawrence Jewry and St Mary Magdalene, London. Also baptised that day was an elder brother, Leopold.<br />

Arthur travelled to Sydney, Australia in 1840 per <em>Elphinstone</em>, in the company of his elder married brother, Henry and sister-in-law, Margaret. Henry had travelled to Australia to assist further brothers, Samuel and Bishop, in the emerging Australian wool market.
Continuing on with his travels we next find Arthur in Valparaiso, Chile, where in 1844, he married Jane Griffin, daughter of George Griffin, master mariner. <br />

While Arthur and Jane’s first child Emily was born back in London in 1845, shortly after, Arthur, Jane and the infant Emily travelled to Australia, where their next three children, Claude Dudley, Augusta Jessie and Edwin, were born.
<br />
<br />
In January 1851, while in the employ of the Customs Department in Sydney as a tidewaiter, Arthur was placed at a moment’s notice on board the Emerald Isle, an American ship anchored in Sydney Harbour, in an attempt to stop the ship from leaving the port until necessary repairs had been undertaken. Instead, Arthur was “carried off in a piratical manner by the captain”. <br />
<br />
Expecting to have only been a few hours on board the <em>Emerald Isle</em>, he had taken “neither bed or extra clothing of any kind with him, and was therefore obliged to sleep on the bare planks of the damp cuddy”. <br />
<br />
Arthur was eventually put ashore in Honolulu where he obtained the assistance of the British Consul General to obtain return passage to Sydney, via New Zealand, arriving home in June of 1851.
<br />
<br />
The ordeal left Arthur in a weakened state and within a few short years he was no longer able to continue employment and was suffering extreme poverty and abject dependence due to the deprivations he experienced from the clandestine departure of the Emerald Isle. <br />
<br />
He died in 1869 aged 48 years.

I have just heard about the 52 Ancestors in a Year Challenge and although it began last month I’m taking up the challenge to help me blog more about the Edenborough ONS. Obviously, I will have to input some ancestors quickly to catch up!

I've been putting off for a long time the job of checking the GRO index transcriptions of births, deaths & marriages for the Edenborough ONS against the original registers because it just takes so long to do. But two weeks ago I decided to bite the bullet and get on with the job. Even though I expected a few errors, I have been shocked at the number of mistakes and omissions that have been made. In some cases the volume and page numbers are not just a minor mistranscription, but are totally and completely different to what has been recorded in the registers!Jennie Fairshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10548660592120696545noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4766558092129734231.post-40775667631382549022009-06-14T13:20:00.000+10:002009-06-14T13:25:22.194+10:00FacebookFacebook.com have offered a free username feature for their website.

Chris put together the report to assist fellow <a href="http://www.one-name.org/">Guild of One Name Study </a>members who are considering DNA projects to complement their one-name studies. The report outlined his ONS results, benefits gained from running a ONS and lessons learned. Reading the report has given me a far better understanding of what I need to do with my own study. To start with, I think I waste a lot of time thinking about the ONS and collecting material willy-nilly instead of sorting and reporting on the material I already have. I've decided to set myself some goals, and by the end of July I hope to have achieved the following:<br />1. Description of the size of the Edenborough ONS.<br />2. A study history to date of the Edenborough ONS.<br />3. A report on the surname variants of the study.Jennie Fairshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10548660592120696545noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4766558092129734231.post-70886218876717851072008-07-11T15:09:00.000+10:002008-07-11T15:21:42.554+10:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSlsleHxms-Rgw1pd7eF8PWiU5NSDD9PPATQtgI4fCZoQWJGe8y1uU3qEJG_k04l40KsltDBQDcQVh7xcur_BL3aHeJf0xxIe3fc69cunhSdOVhkKe1RKULx1jsAm_LOCfqYoDxObIG-U/s1600-h/edenborough+bros.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSlsleHxms-Rgw1pd7eF8PWiU5NSDD9PPATQtgI4fCZoQWJGe8y1uU3qEJG_k04l40KsltDBQDcQVh7xcur_BL3aHeJf0xxIe3fc69cunhSdOVhkKe1RKULx1jsAm_LOCfqYoDxObIG-U/s320/edenborough+bros.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221619685827972946" /></a><br />This photo is of the seven sons of Thomas and Harriet Edenborough (nee Whitfield).

I'm also going to endeavour to post messages more regularly and, I hope to have an actual website, as well, in the not-to-distant future. It was certainly a great opportunity to meet up with fellow ONS researchers and while we are small in number in Australia compared to the UK we are just as dedicated.Jennie Fairshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10548660592120696545noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4766558092129734231.post-35866525420474715162007-10-15T20:20:00.000+10:002007-10-21T20:02:42.283+10:00Origin of NameTrying to find the origin of the Edenborough surname has proven far more difficult than I expected.<br /><br />Lower’s <em>Patronymica Britannica</em>, <em>The Oxford Dictionary of British Surnames</em> and Black’s <em>The</em> <em>Surnames of Scotland</em> all suggest it as being a variation of Edinburgh, the Scottish metropolis.<br /><br />Apart from three christenings of Edenburghs in the 1690s and the marriage of an Edingburgh in1809, I am yet to find any further appearances of the surname to support the Scottish theory.<br /><br />Henry Harrison in <em>The Surnames of the United Kingdom</em> suggests a connection to the King of Northumbria, Eadwine.<br /><br />And Charles Wareing Bardsley writes in <em>English Surnames</em> “that the manorial residence is still in many parts of England, with the country folk, the ‘bury’. To this or ‘borough’ we owe our Burys, Boroughs, Borrows, Buroughs, Broughs, Burghs” – all variations I have found in my Edenborough research.<br /><br />The surname is quite obviously locative and, with the help of some very knowledgeable fellow <a href="http://www.one-name.org/">GOONS</a> (in particular, Andrew Millard), Attenborough, Nottinghamshire, could be a strong contender for the place of origin.<br /><br />In recent correspondence to me, Andrew pointed out that findings of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Place-Name_Society">EPNS </a> show Attenborough as having been variously Addenbroug’ (1305), Adenburgh (1401), Adynburgh (1439), Addenborough (1496), Adenberow/Adenborrow (1535), Adenborowe (1570) and the spelling of Attenborough with “tt” rather than “d” or “dd” only appears from 1617. Furthermore, Andrew wrote “make the minor vowel change from A to E and you have Edenborough and its variants”.<br /><br />My studies into the surname have already shown a strong localisation to this area, so thanks to Andrew, I’ll now start looking into the Nottinghamshire contender as place of origin as well as widening my research of Edenborough to include variants of Addenborough and will post my finds as they arise.Jennie Fairshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10548660592120696545noreply@blogger.com0
