1 The Wilkin's of Haddenham

Introduction

In 1999, I distributed three volumes of ancestral material to about thirty people relative to the ancestors of the Sharpe, Crosley, Taylor and Wilkin families .Over the last couple of years I have realized that I did not give my eight grandchildren any substantial information relative to their background and now hope it is included . In this production I am indicating some of the major details of their Ancestry. Doreen Margaret Sharpe, my wife, is a descendent of King Henry 111rd and has been noted in the "Royalty" records for many years In DEBRETT'S Peerage, Baronetage, Knightage and Companion age dated about 1900 there is a page entitled " The Descent of WILLIAM CLOUGH ESQ of Clifton House and New bald Hall , Yorkshire J.P. from the Blood Royal of England" From it one can conclude that royalty descendent William Cumberland married Elizabeth Pym Burt. Their daughter Rosina Cumberland married John Clough and they had a daughter Emma Clough who married William Gordon Lynch Cotton. One of the children of Emma Clough and William Gordon Lynch Cotton was named Ella Blanch Cotton and she married Herbert Charles Crosley ( Grandson of Sir Henry Crosley ) and they were the Grandparents of Doreen Margaret Sharpe. As the result of this substantiated information all of our eight grandchildren can legitimately indicate that they are descendents of English Royalty back to at least King Henry 111rd in the year 1200. Doreen, my wife, has written some of her own History and it is being included as follows :- "I had always known that my Mother, Hester Margaret Crosley, was born in India but have recently found from further research that my Grandmother, Ella Blanche Cotton, was also born in India. Her Father was William Gordon Lynch Cotton. He was a Water Engineer with the Public Works Department in India It appears that my Grandmother was sent to England to get her education My Grandfather, Herbert Charles Crosley, was born in England and attended Dulwich College, London . He went to India in about 1885. He opened up the Okayti Tea Estate in 1889, the same year he married my Grandmother, Ella Blanche Cotton. They started off married life living in a tent but photographs show that they later had a very nice bungalow with a very pleasant dining room . As manager of the Tea Estate my Grandfather was able to provide his family a very good life. My Mother, Hester Margaret, and her two sisters, Ivy and Eileen, and two brothers, were all born at Okayti, Darjeeling, India My Grandfather Herbert died in 1905 and my Grandmother and the three daughters returned to England and lived for a short time at Sandhurst Villas, Ampthill, Bedfordshire. I understand that after the death of my Grandfather, finances were just not available for my grandmother. My Mother was, I think, given secretarial training in London. My Aunt Ivy was quite an accomplished pianist and was encouraged in her music studies by Uncle Jack who provided a piano for her at some stage. She went to a

2 The Wilkin's of Haddenham convent school in Belgium, possibly because of her musical interest. She came back from Belgium by a somewhat adventurous route at the beginning of World War I and rejoined her family who were then living in Ealing. She worked at the Bank of England sorting out and dealing with 'dud' bank notes. Aunt Eileen went to a boarding school, St. Annes near Redhill, on the strength of a nomination by the Duchess of Bedford (the "Flying Duchess") who was an old friend of her Mother. Later she went to a domestic training college near Birmingham and then worked as a governess. A tape made in 1976 by Aunt Eileen for her grandsons, Stephen and Robin, is especially interesting and worth listening to as it gives a great insight to the lives of the three sisters in India, especially at Christmastime. The family tree shows that my Mother, Hester Margaret, also had 2 brothers but little is mentioned of them - we believe one died as a baby and the other at the age of two. Most of the photographs of the family in India were probably taken by my Grandmother's brother, Hugh Gordon Cotton, who was the Manager of the Ghatia Tea Estate, Jalpaiguri, Bengal. My Mother must have returned to Ampthill because she met and married my Father, Clement Richard Sharpe, in 1915. My Father was the son of William Thomas Sharpe, a building contractor inAmpthill. He served during World War I in the Royal flying Corps. My Mother and Father lived in Ampthill in a house named Chota-Koti (meaning small house in Hindustani). They played tennis and had a good social life. After 13 years of marriage I was born (1924) the same year that my Grandfather Sharpe died, so I never knew him but spent a lot of time in my growing up years with my Grandmother Sharpe who lived close to us. My sister, Pauline Patricia, was born in 1927 and that completed the family.We had some good times in our childhood, spending hours in make believe games,playing house, dressing up and most of it was between the two of us, sometimes joined by our older cousin, Mavis - as long as it wasn’t on a Sunday because she had a stricter upbringing than we did and games weren’t allowed on Sundays! To go back to 1924, and my Grandfather’s death; the business continued with my Uncle Norman (Norrie) handling the business side and my Father the supervision of the building side, labour, contracts etc. My sister and I often accompanied my Father as he supervised the building work on The Duke of Bedford’s Estate and for renovations on the Brewery’s public houses. I came to know the local area by where a public house or farm was rather than by street and village addresses. Something I was teased about later in life! I can remember having to visit a farm where work was being done by W.T. Sharpe Company and a case of foot and mouth disease in some of the nearby farms made it necessary for us to walk through a container of disinfectant to prevent the spread of the disease. This was very impressive to a young child Things changed a lot when my Father died of peritonitis at the age of 50. He had suffered from stomach ulcers for some time and as was the custom at that time spent many evenings in the local public houses where because of his medical condition - a little too late - they kept a glass of milk for him instead of the beer. Despite my Father’s equity in the family business, his interest in greyhound racing and other unfruitful pastimes had frittered away any part of that equity. There

3 The Wilkin's of Haddenham was only a Widow’s pension for my Mother and this was only enough to pay the rent on Chota Koti. My Mother started taking in boarders as a means of income. I left school at the age of 15 and worked in the cashier’s office of the local Department Store, taking private shorthand lessons in the evening. My Sister, Pauline, attendedLuton Technical College and by the mid 40s we were still living at home and able to contribute to the household expenses. Despite rather unusual and perhaps demanding circumstances due to my Mother’s aversion to going outside her home, I led a full life. I joined a Tennis Club (cycling three miles to and from), liked dancing, and was a member of the Youth Club. World War Two brought servicemen to our little town and I worked with the Women’s Voluntary Service in the canteen. Later I joined the Young Conservatives and the Amateur Dramatic Society. The Dramatic Society gave me some of the best times in my life up to that point. The War was now over and the opportunity to take annual vacations with girl friends occurred - I went to Wales, Torquay and the Isle of Man But people still weren’t going abroad. About 1949 my Grandmother, Lila Blanche, was unable to look after herself and came to live with us. This exposed me to the needs of the elderly and I was involved in much of her day -to -day care. She died in hospital in1950. After my maternal Grandmother’s death we began to persuade my Mother to go away to the seaside for two weeks in the summer. We stayed at cottages on the East Coast with my Aunt and Cousins. We had lovely holidays this way and it was great to see the change in my Mother once she was away from Ampthill. She was a straight forward lady in every sense of the word, with a sense of humour and a love of life. My fraternal Grandmother, the widow of W.T. Sharpe, Building Contractor, lived nearby and my sister and I often visited her. She was a very proper lady and would serve us glasses of homemade gingerette whilst we looked at her picture postcards through a bioscope. She died at the great age of 99 After two years I left the Department Store and went to work as a secretary at the Ampthill Rural District Council office and remained there for 13 years. It was there that I met my future husband who was a civil engineer on a contract with the Council. He became one of my Mother’s boarders and our friendship began and continued after he left the area to work in other parts of England. My Mother continued to take in boarders and our house was always used to capacity. Once again, it was another boarder in our house who met and married my sister. He was from Scotland but had work in London where they lived when they married in 1954. Their wedding was to be a small one, and as the older sister of the bride I was given a lot of the responsibility of the wedding day plans. The day before the wedding I was taken to hospital with suspected appendicitis. The wedding went ahead without a hitch but the only knowledge I have of it was the photographs my future husband took for me. For some years my Mother’s health had not been good and she was finally diagnosed with cancer in the throat and lungs; the fact that she had been a chain smoker all her life was doubtless the cause. Radium treatments were unsuccessful and her condition steadily deteriorated, She died at home on January 20, 1955. This was a time in my life when certain factors caused me to assess my future. The house my parents had rented all their married life was not transferable to me so I had to

4 The Wilkin's of Haddenham move out. I decided to leave Ampthill and go to London, where I had my sister, aunts, cousins and my best girl friend, Florrie (later to become Faye Zuppinger) lived. She helped me find a secretarial job in Bond Street and I found rooms in a private house. I think the experience of living in a big city was something I needed although ‘straphanging’ (via London’s underground system) to and from my job twice daily was a drawback. In1956 a letter came from John Wflkin. He had immigrated to Canada in 1955 and was writing to propose marriage. I can still visualize the morning I received his letter and walked on air to catch my bus to the office. I don’t think I had to spend any time considering John’s proposal despite the big change this would make in my life. It was hard saying ‘goodbye’ to my very good friends. In June, 1956 I flew out to Canada and was met at Windsor Airport by John, who had found room and board for me in Leamington. He also was boarding in Leamington and driving daily to whatever section of the new Highway 401 he was working on. I was made very welcome by several of the friends he had already made in his first year in Canada. I was fortunate to get a secretarial position in the Head Office of H.J. Heinz, Leamington within a short time of arriving in Canada. On December 1, 1956 we were married at St. John’s Anglican Church, Leamington with a guest list of eight! We bought a framed house In one of Leamington’s tree-lined streets. It was then that John showed his interest and ability in home renovation. The kitchen in this house was completely renovated by him and we were very proud of our new home. Our first daughter,Julie Margaret, was born at Leamington hospital March 24, 1959. John decided to leave the Dept. of Highways and went to work for a private construction company in Port Colbourne soon after Julie’s birth. We sold our house but even before we moved, the Company in Port Colbourne went bankrupt. Quick changes had to be made in our plans and John was offered work with a Windsor construction company and we bought a house on Woodlawn in Windsor. We were very fortunate that this unfortunate turn of events was overcome relatively well. Our second daughter, Vicki Carolyn, was born June 16, 1960 in Windsor during a visit from from England by John’s parents. In 1962 we bought another house on Thompson Blvd in Windsor which challenged John’s home renovation capabilities as up until three years previous it had been vacant for 13 years. However, the house was situate in a nice area with school, church, library and bus route close at hand. Projects started on this new home and continued for many years; with each one the house became a very good home to us. Our third daughter, Alison Jane, was born in Windsor April 10, 1964, and Julie was now going to kindergarten at Princess Elizabeth School, a 5 minute walk away.Vicki followed the next year, and Alison in due course. Thompson Blvd was a great neighbourhood and we had good times for the 20 years we lived there. Visits by John’s parents ,his brother and sister and my sister and her family, and the Zuppingers added to our good times. We had an in-ground swimming pool installed in 1972 and our back yard became even more popul ar with local children!

5 The Wilkin's of Haddenham

In 1975 1 went to work as a secretary to the Circulation Manager with the local newspaper, The Windsor Star. Julie graduated from the University of Windsor in 1982. She had married Kevin McKenzie in December, 1981 and this marriage ended in 1987. Vicki was attending St. Clair College in Windsor and Alison was at Wilfred Laurier University in Kitchener. This made us realize that the house and pool were more work than we needed and we sold the house and bought a house on the waterfront of Riverside Drive. Again, a house that needed John’s expertize! As I prepare these memoirs in 1998 I am very conscious that this last call on John's renovation skills was a physical drain on him at a time when he was holding a very responsible position as Director of Operations with the City of Windsor Public Works Department. In the summer of 1983 John suffered a mild stroke. After a short time he was able to return to his employment. Vicki was married to Jack Moore in 1987, and Alison was married to David Kunsch in 1989. 1 am not trying to cover their lives after marriage as I feel that is for their memoirs in the future, but with our daughters’ marriages came an enrichment of our lives which had started as two immigrants in the 5Os up to our family of eight grandchildren in 1998. Life has truly been kind to us. We have both retired now and lead pretty full lives with our grandchildren, my involvement in the church, our bridge games, and John's golf and computer. At the time of bringing these Memoirs to a close, Julie met and married Glen Cavers on August 8, 1998. They live in Campbellville, Ontario w ith Julies children Kyle and Greg,and also have regular visits from Glens’ children Steven and Laura." Martin John Wilkin notes the following:- I am Martin John Wilkin (called John),son of James Martin and Susan Hannah Wilkin and I was born on Dec 30th 1927 at Primrose Hill Farm, Pymoor, Near Ely, Cambs, England. I was born in a small Bungalow built by my father on Primrose Hill Farm and lived there for a few years until in 1936 we moved into a larger farmhouse which replaced the old home which had been the home of my father and his father and grandfather. My brother Roger James was born in the bungalow and sister Mary Kathleen in the new one. I remember quite a lot relative to my first eleven years being brought up on Primrose Hill Farm including attendance at school in Pymoor at a building which also was a Church on Sundays. In 1938 Primrose Hill Farm farm was sold to Mr Claud Starling and we moved to Carlton Road in Clacton on Sea, Essex. My father and his cousin Bertrand Harris purchased Cooks Green Farm in Little Clacton . Bertrand did not partake in the actual farming of the land and Dad did farm untill 1940 when because of air raids and the threat of a German invasion, the Cooks Green Farm was leased to a Mr Johnson for the period of the war. Our family then moved back to the Fens and lived in Highfield House, Hillrow in Haddenham. Dad farmed Frog Hall Farm in Aldreth and also some land in Hillrow , Haddenham which had been left to him by Constance Louisa Porter together with the house we then lived in . In the records which follow in this book you will see reference to Frogg Halll Farm and this had been in the Wilkin family for a great number of years. In 1945 at the end of the war in Europe we moved back to Clacton on Sea again and lived in

6 The Wilkin's of Haddenham

Albany Gardens I attended primary day school in Pymore for five years, the Pathfields School in Clacton on Sea for two years and secondary school at The Kings' School in Ely as a boarder for five years until 1945. In general I enjoyed school and even though there was a war on the activities with the other children was well worth while even though there was a lot of every day basics missing.I was 13 years old when I started living away from home and I notice the considerable difference this has m ade to me in my approach to many things. In 1945 I attended the Loughborough College of Engineering for three years and graduated in Civil Engineering in 1948. I was a border with a Mrs Pace and these three years set the ground for me as far as what I wanted to do. In 1948 I enlisted for my British National Service initially in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers and then in 1949 in the Royal Engineers. I was stationed in Honiton, Aldershot, Leamington, Gillingham and then sent to Germany where I was stationed in Hamburg and was then demobbed in 1950 when I started my working career. I started off my career as a Layout and Measuring Engineer on a Sewer and Sewerage installation project in Flitwick, Bedfordshire.I boarded in a close town called Ampthill with the mother of my wife Doreen.Subsequently I worked for various contractors in Aylsham in Norfolk, Cheltenham in Gloucestershire, Bath in Somerset, Banbury in Oxfordshire and Colchester in Essex. In 1955 I emigrated to Canada and was in Leamington Ontario initially and then moved to Windsor where I still live. In Canada I was initially a supervising Engineer for the Department of Highways of Ontario constructing major expressway roads between Toronto and Windsor. In 1959 I worked again for Contractors on road and sewer type works and then got the job of Assistant Engineer with the Windsor Public Works department. In 1961 I was promoted to the position of General Supertendent of the operations section . In 1964 I again went to work for Contractors engaged in Sewerage type work and also House building. Then in 1969 I applied for and became the Director of Operations for the Public Works Department in the City of Windsor and retired from that position in 1992 I married Doreen Margaret Sharpe in Leamington, Ontario on December 1st 1956 and we have three daughters Julia Margaret (born 1959), Vicki Carilyn ( born1960 ), and Alison Jane ( born 1964) Doreen in her notes has very well covered practically all of the family items and I will not add any of my own observations.

Descendants of Martin Wilkin

Generation No. 1

1. MARTIN1 WILKIN was born 1689, and died 27 Sep 1752. He married ELIZABETH AUSTIN 16 Sep 1712 in Foulmere, Cambs. She was born 1688, and died 27 Mar 1766.

Notes for MARTIN WILKIN: [Wilkin.ftw]

The christian name MARTIN has been in this Wilkin family consistently since at least 1689.The first indication we have is the inscription on a memorial stone in a Haddenham place of worship which is pointed out by Moira Neal in her book called "Branches Everywhere-The Story of a Family Tree". The inscription reads as follows:-

"IN MEMORY OF MARTIN WILKIN,A GENT WHO DEPARTED THIS LIFE SEPT.27 1752 AGED 63 YEARS. ALSO ELIZABETH HIS WIFE WHO DIED MARCH 27 1766 AGED 78. ALSO TWO SONS OF MARTIN AND ELIZABETH WILKIN viz MARTIN WILKIN DEPARTED THIS LIFE JAN 6 1734 AGED 20 AND THOMAS WILKIN DEPARTED THIS LIFE APRIL 21 1745 AGED 27 YEARS."

This Martin Wilkin is an ancestor and the most ancient one I have been able to locate in March 1998. I do feel however that the Wilkins who lived in Soham were in some way related and if any research is done on them in the period prior to 1689 then this may be shown to be true.

In August of 1997 I discussed at great length with my sister in law Pamela Wilkin (wife of Roger Wilkin my brother) the possible origination of Great Grandfather Martin Wilkin who the family bible says was born in 1815. He was my Great Grandfather but we and anyone else connected with the family to our knowledge has any idear who were his parents, where he was born and who he had as brothers and sisters. After looking at all the records I could find in Cambridge and in Huntington there seemed to be no records of our Martin. Pamela Wilkin has become a very active member of a Genealogy club in Clacton on Sea and has collected some very interesting information relative to possible ancestors of us Wilkin's. One of the document's she has is the Will of a Martin Wilkin (1689-1752) made in 1749 and it reads as follows:-- " MARTIN WILKIN of Haddenham

8 The Wilkin's of Haddenham

12 The Wilkin's of Haddenham

Martin Wilkin was a Shoemaker and his Death Certificate shows that he lived to be 86 years old. The witness at his death was Martha Maile, an unknown but possibly a nurse. Martin and his wife Mary Morriss did have several children but neither of the two Martin's are the father of my Great Grandfather Martin Wilkin (1815-- 1886) since they were both dead before 1815.

The last Will of Martin Wilkin reads as follows:- " This is the last Will and Testament of me Martin Wilkin of Wilburton in the Isle of Ely in the County of Cambridge, Cordwainer made this twelfth day of March in the year of our lord one thousand eight hundred and forty as follows (that is to say) .

Comment

It has now been established that Martin and Elizabeth Wilkin had at least two children namely Judith and John at the time they were involved in writing their Wills.Neither Pam nor I have been able to find the memorial stone in Haddenham that refers to the death of Martin and Elizabeth and two of their other children namely Martin and Thomas which was seen by someone from New Zealand a few years ago. I discussed this a little with the current Church of England minister in 1997 and found nothing. Its possible that it is in the Baptist chappel which I was not able to enter. The descendent chart shows the four children noted and another named Benjamin which Pam's research indicates was also in the family The Will by Elizabeth also indicates that her Grandaughter Elizabeth and Grandson Martin are the children of her son John Wilkin and his wife Alice Sumpter. Elizabeth married William Hitch and Martin married Mary Morriss. Martin Wilkin and Mary Morriss had the following children: -- Martin 1781-1782; Thomas 1783-???; Martin 1784-1810; Elizabeth 1788-1881; John 1790-1866; Sarah 1792-???; Mary 1795- ???; Josiah 1799- ???;and Alice 1801- ???. It appears to both Pam and myself that Martin and Mary are not the parents of our Gr Grandad and we do not know at the moment who he was. In reviewing the data supplied by Moira Neal of New Zealand relative to this problem she has concluded basically the same as us in that the family of

14 The Wilkin's of Haddenham

Martin and Mary is the correct one but the question is WHICH ONE ? is the parent. Basic observations on Gr Grandad indicate that he did not enter any Wilkin relative in the Bible, only those relatives of his wife Elizabeth Cockle. When he married Elizabeth she was pregnant and a special Licence was required for concent by the parents .She was 17 and he was 20, very young in those days for marriage and their first child Elizabeth was born on Sept 15 1835, seven months after they married.

InFeb. 1998 I received from Pamela Wilkin a copy of the special licence required by Martin Wilkin and Elizabeth Cockle when they got married. It is as follows:-

"On the 19 th day of Febuary 1835 appeared personally Martin Wilkin of the Parish of Haddenham in the Isle of Ely in the County of Cambribgeshire, Bachelor of the age of nineteen years but under the age of Twenty One Years, and prayed a licence for the solemnization of matrimony in the Parish Church of Haddenham aforesaid in the said County of Cambridgeshire between him and Elizabeth Cockle of the Parish of Haddenham aforesaid, Spinster of the age of sizteen years but under the age of Twenty One Years, and made oath that he believeth that there is no impediment of kindred or alliance, or of any other lawful cause, nor any suit commenced in any Ecclesiastical Court to bar or hinder the proceeding of the said Matrimony, according to the tenor of such Licence. And further made oath, that he, the said Elizabeth Cockle hath had her usual place of abode within the said Parish of Haddenham for the space of fifteen days last past. And he also made oath that he the said Martin Wilkin ( being illegitimate) hath no Mother unmarried nor any Guardian nor Guardians of his person lawfully appointed nor Guardian of his person appointed by theCom?? of Chancery having authority to give concent to such marriage: and he likewise further made Oath that the consent of Susanna Cockle mother of the said Elizabeth Cockle ( her father being dead and she having no guardian of her person lawfully appointed and her said Mother being unmarried) hath been obtained to such marriage. Signed by Martin Wilkim

Sworn before me John Griffith, Surrogate"

This does show that Martin was illegitimate and it might be difficult to find out how he grew up and what training he had. He was well educated so there has to have been someone of means who took care of him. He is shown as the child of an "Unmarried Wilkin" in this document. In 1867 Martin Wilkin wrote a letter to his daughter Mary Ann in New Zealand and this letter is reproduced in genealogical books in that country. The most significant part of the letter relative to his own birth is reference to some people who lived in Wilburton.

15 The Wilkin's of Haddenham

He notes "Uncle Wilkin is dead" and also " Uncle John Sutton is dead". Uncle Wilkin was John Wilkin the son of Martin and Mary and he died in 1866. Uncle John Sutton died in 1867 and was the brother of Sarah Sutton who had married John Wilkin. John Wilkin was apparantly the brother of Martin Wilkin and both were the children of Martin Wilkin and Mary Morriss. It appears that Martin was connected to that family and this document makes that assumption. Another connection with the Suttons was the fact that William the brother of John Sutton married Sarah Wilkin the brother of John Wilkin

Notes for MARTIN WILKIN: [Wilkin.ftw]

`MARTIN WILKIN (1815-1886)

.The Cambridgeshire County Archivist has indicated as follows:- "Land tax assessments show that Martin Wilkin came to the parish of Little Downham in 1839 and in 1847 first occupied the property owned by Thomas Vipan and known as Primrose Hill Farm." The farm was purchased from Miss Emily Preston and "others" by James Cockle Wilkin and James Martin Wilkin in 1922 and consisted of 154 acres.3 r .37p. It remained in the Wilkin family until Aug 25th 1938 when my father James Martin Wilkin sold it to a Mr. Claud Starling. Martin married Elizabeth Cockle at Haddenham on 28th Feb. 1835.She was born in Aldreth on Feb 20th 1818 the daughter of farmers John & Susanna Cockle.They had thirteen children who will be discussed later.Martin died on June 25th 1886 and was buried at Haddenham. Elizabeth died on April 27th 1915 at the age of 97 and was buried next to her husband.An excerpt from the newspaper account of her funeral follows:-

"Mrs Wilkin was the oldest resident of the parish,having reached her 97th year.Notwithstanding this great age,she had enjoyed excellent health up till within the last few months,and her intellectual faculties were marvellously maintained.She was always able to converse with her numerous friends on any topic,and during the past winter she accomplished the task of knitting a large quantity of scarves and comforts for our soldiers,which were despatched to the front with her good wishes.Mrs Wilkin was of a charitable disposition,and was always ready to help deserving causes.She had a large acquaintance of friends who held her in the highest respect owing to her genial disposition,having a kindly word to say to all she came in contact with.She was a staunch supporter of Wesleyanism,having been a member of the Oxlode & Haddenham Wesleyan Churches for nearly 90 years,and it had become her custom to entertain ministers on Sundays for 50 years. ------"

17 The Wilkin's of Haddenham

In about 1840 a Doctor who lived nearby painted a picture of Primrose Hill farmhouse showing Elizabeth feeding the poultry.This picture still exists and is owned by my brother Roger James Wilkin who I presume will pass it on to his son. Roger lives in Little Clacton, Essex, England.

The following is a copy of the Will of Martin Wilkin who died in October 1886. " This is the last Will and Testament of me Martin Wilkin of Downham Fen in Downham in the Isle of Ely in the county of Cambridge Farmer made this twenty fourth day of February in the year one thousand eight hundred and eighty six as follows (that is to say) I appoint my son Martin Wilkin of Worship Street London and James Cockle Wilkin and Henry Martin Wilkin residing with me Trustees and Executors of this my Will I give and devise all my farmhouse lands and hereditaments situate at Aldreth in Haddenham in the said Isle and County lately purchased by me from the devisees in trust for sale under the Will of John Read Cockle deceased unto and to the use of my wife Elizabeth Wilkin during her life but upon condition that she shall pay and discharge all the interest to become due during her life upon any principal money which for the time being may be owing on mortgage of the said hereditaments and shall also at her expense keep the said farmhouse and buildings insured against loss or damage by fire in the names of herself and the mortgagees of the said hereditaments in some public office of Insurance to be approved by the mortgagees and at a sum of not less than five hundred pounds and further that in case the said farmhouse or buildings shall be destroyed or damaged by fire then any money received from any Insurance office on account thereof shall be laid out as soon as conveniently may be in the rebuilding or repairing the said farmhouse and buildings which shall have been so destroyed or damaged and from and after her death I devise the said farmhouse lands and hereditaments unto my son Henry Martin Wilkin in fee simple subject to the said mortgage debt but if he shall die in my lifetime then after the death of my wife I devise the said farm house lands and hereditaments under my said son James Cockle Wilkin in fee simple subject as foresaid I give and bequeath unto my said wife all my household furniture and household effects dairying utensils and consumable household stores and my personal and other ornaments and wearing apparel upon condition that she allows my son James Cockle Wilkin so long as he continues to manage the business of the farm at Downham aforesaid held by me under Mrs. Darcy Preston or her trustees to have the free use and enjoyment of the furniture and utensils which at my death shall be in use or usually kept in the two kitchens of the farmhouse at the said farm and in the bedroom therein used by my son James Cockle Wilkin at the time of my death.

HANNAH WILKIN (1844- )

Hannah was born on March 22 1844 and I have very little information other than that she married a man named Blakey and moved I believe to London. Mary Ann Wilkin in New Zealand kept a copy of a letter written by her sister Hannah which indicates that she was well educated and very well able to express herself. The letter was published in THIS LOVE OF THE LAND by the Wilkin and Neal descendents, chaired by Roger Neal in 1985. The letter as printed in New Zealand was as follows :--

" Primrose Hill, June 12 1866, My ever very dear Pollie, You will be somewhat surprised that I should write a letter to you on this, the long to be remembered and most important occasion--" Your Wedding " but the fact that my heart is so full that that I cannot give utterance to the feelings of my mind. You have today ,Darling Sister , entered into quite a new course of life---you have been united to one in whom we all have the greatest confidence and I feel assured that he will be to you a most devoted, loving and kind hearted husband. It would have been impossible for you to have had one to whom we could so willingly have entrusted our dear, dear sister such a distance, as to him. Accept then a sister's best wishes on your marriage. I sincerely hope you may both long enjoy uninterupted happiness that your lives may be long spared and that you may prosper in that land wither you are going. Dear Pollie, rest assured we shall not forget to pray daily that God be pleased to grant you a safe voyage and we must all look forward with the pleasant hope that at some future period in our life we may share the unspeakable pleasure of meeting again. I consider you very fortunate having a husband when you have so many old maiden sisters. Just fancy you being the fifth and the second one that is married. We must be the queer ones, I think. Do not think it strange that I should give you this for I thought and should like you to have a lasting momentum of my sincere affection for you and as before stated

was fully aware I could not express in another way the sentiments of my heart. Again wishing you and yours every blessing. Believe me dearest Pollie, Ever to remain, Your devotedly attached sister, HANNAH WILKIN

My cousin Margaret Bruce ( Grandaughter of Maria Wilkin, sister of Mary Ann ) told me that Hannah is burried in Northwold near her sister Agnes Helen who was married to John Hopkin. There is no record that I know of that links Hannah to that area . Moira Neal has informed me of the fact that Hannah became a school teacher

MARTIN WILKIN (1852-1917) The first son of Martin and Elizabeth Wilkin was born on Nov 20th 1852 and they named him Martin.When Martin died On Oct 17th 1917 he was buried in Aldreth,part of Haddenham.It is known that he was an Accountant in London and we think he was a bachelor. In referring to the funeral notice it states that he had come from London because of the air-raids and died at his brother's Aldreth home a short time after.The obituary notes that" he was widely known and much esteemed and will be greatly missed for his benevolence by a large circle of friends".It is noted that his sisters Elizabeth,Mrs Skully,Mrs Blakey,Mrs Harris and Mrs Hopkins were there together with his two brothers James and Henry.There were a lot of notables also there and I feel that this was the result of his associates in the accounting field. In Martin's Will his London address was noted as 107 Farleigh Road , London, Middlesex which I suspect was not to far from Worshipp Street where he had his business. In his will Martin also notes that Sarah Jane Wilkin had three sons namely Thomas Henry Jackson, Fred Percy Jackson and Ernest Martin Jackson. She also had a daughter named Flora Beatrice Jackson who had married a Mr Williamson

Notes for HENRY MARTIN WILKIN: [Wilkin.ftw]

HENRY MARTIN WILKIN (1860-1935)

Henry (known as Harry) was born on Oct 28th 1860 at Primrose Hill and died in Aldreth on March 8th 1935. He was married to Emily Sutton who died on Jan 11th 1958 in her 92nd year.They were farmers in Aldreth and had no children. I remember visiting Aunt Emily many times in the early nineteen forties. My father then owned the Aldreth Frog Hall farm mentioned in many of the Wills back into the seventeen hundreds and farmed it until it was sold in 1944 to a Mr Haylock from Sutton who was a relative of Fred Darby. Bertrand Harris (son of Maria ) used to stay with Henry when he was very young and at one time he cycled to Aldreth from London. He also named the home he built in London "ALDRETH" which is an indication that he enjoyed his stays there. Henry was very adept at being able to repair many mechanical items and his ability to make repairs when no one else could is a well known legacy he has in the Haddenham area.

SUSAN COCKLE WILKIN (1838-1929)

Susan Cockle Wilkin was born on Oct 5th 1838 and died in Jan 1929.She married a Mr Albert Hastings Skully who was a very prosperous provision merchant in Bishopsgate, London.They had three or four children but the only one that I have any knowledge of was Emily who married Mr Albert Farrow a very well endowed businessman.At their wedding on Feb 11th 1886 the newspaper cutting notes that Martin Wilkin was the "best man".This was Susan's brother. Margaret Bruce(nee Harris) the Grandaughter of Maria Wilkin has more information relative to the Skully family.One interesting item is that one daughter of Emily named Irene (but called Renee) was a hostess at the Rainbow Club in Piccadilly during the second World War. She was held in great esteem by a great number of young Americans and they named one of their bomber planes after her.

Children of SUSAN WILKIN and J SKULLY are: 15. i. EMILY7 SKULLY. ii. TERESA SKULLY, b. 1873, London, Middlesex.

Notes for MARY ANNE WILKIN: [Wilkin.ftw]

MARY ANN WILKIN (1846-1922)

Mary Ann was born on June 20th 1846 and died in New Zealand On May 7th 1922.She married a man from Yorkshire by the name of Alfred Neal in Little Downham on June 12th 1866 and left within one week for New Zealand. For the details of Mary Ann's life one should read a book called "BRANCHES EVERYWHERE-A STORY OF A FAMILY TREE" written by Moira Neal,the wife of a Grandson of Mary Ann named Barry Wilkin Neal,who in turn is the son of Herbert Neal. Moira's address is 2 Uplands Road, Huia, West Auckland, 1250, New Zealand. Mary Ann had fourteen children so obviously there are many descendants of the Wilkins in New Zealand.The following is a quote from Moira Neal's

28 The Wilkin's of Haddenham book:- "Mary's childhood was a happy one,spent on the farm in the Fen Country near Ely.Her father grew vegetables for the London market.They were very up to date,having a carrot washing machine.Even in old age,Mary was very interested in fowls as her father had a great many which he sold dressed.It was the sisters task to kill,pluck and dress them. Their life was a busy one.Mary said she and her sisters sat around the long table at night sewing by hand all their dresses,petticoats,night-gowns etc.and making crochet trimmings while their father read tothem.Mary never talked of them being away from home and she did mention that they had a sewing maid who did the mending.------" I obtained a copy of another New Zealand Book on the history of the Wilkin's and Neal's when in England in 1997 and it was produced by Myrtle Neal, widow of Selwyn Neal the son of Herbert Neal, and Aileen Neal another descendent with a contribution by Roger Neal. The name of the book is "THIS LOVE OF THE LAND --THE STORY OF A GROWING FAMILY " and in Roger's forword he expresses a great deal of thanks to Myrtle Neal who had contributed a great deal of information. The New Zealanders have certainly put a great deal of effort into keeping the Neal and Wilkin history alive and the rest of us should be extremely gratefull that they have. Alfred Neal died on March 15 1919 in Port Albert, New Zealand of heart failour and Mary Ann Neal ( nee Wilkin) died on May 7 1922 in Port Albert of old age. Copies of the death certificates are on file with John Wilkin.

In Moira Neal's book she mentions that the Wilkin children had a teaching governess who married a Mr Jackson.These Jackson's went out to New

Zealand on missionary work and took back to England Mary Ann's oldest son who died in hospital in London on 14th Jan.1883 and was burried in Little Downham. I wonder if there is some connection between the Jacksons????.Ethel Harris,a daughter of Maria Wilkin ,always told her nieces Elaine and Margaret that two of Marias sisters emigrated to New Zealand and used to point them out on a picture.Hopefully we can get this sorted out in the future. During a trip to England in 1997 Myra Tyrell the daughter of Ivy Wilkin, my aunt,told me she confirms the name of the people who came from Liverpool was Williamson and that the brother in the forces was named Edgar.

MARIA WILKIN(1850-1936)

Maria was born on July 28th 1850 at Primrose Hill Farm as all the children were,and died in London in 1936.Maria married a Mr.Arthur John Harris, the son of William and Ann Cartwright who lived on Quebec Street in London. Arthur John Harris had attended the Bleucoat School in London. They had six children:--- Ethel, Edith, Arthur, Alice, Bertrand Martin and Harold. The marriage was an unhappy one and Maria left Arthur.A great deal of

31 The Wilkin's of Haddenham other recollections of Maria and her family can be made by her Grandaughters,Elaine and Margaret. Ethel Emily Harris did not marry and until her mother died lived with her.She was a very good needle worker and both she and Maria relied to a great extent on the generosity of her son Bertrand Martin until they both had died Arthur Harris married a lady named Blanch and they had seven daughters named Dolly, Doris, Grace, Muriel, Kathleen, Betty and Jean. Edith Mary Harris married Robert George Hogg and was a good friend of Bertrand Harris's wife, Blanch. No children were born to them. Alice and Harold both died when they were very young and Elaine Luton (nee Harris ) notes the following in Feb. 1996 :-- "A few weeks ago an old friend passed away and his funeral took place at Manor Park Cemetery. While I was there I decided to find the Grave of my Grandfather Arthur John Harris.I knew the grave square number etc. It was a maze so I went to theSuperintendent who was most helpfull. He shook me rigid by telling me it was an old grave. I told him it couldn't be as Grandad had died in1931, so was it a common grave ??." Certainly not, your Grandfather Arthur John Harris bought it in1881 and paid one guinea for the buriel of Alice Maud Harris. There is another child in the grave Harold Wilkin Harris " Oh no says I that's not right he is John. I have now found Harold Wilkin Harris in St Catherine's House and have their Death Certificates. Alice Maud died aged 22 months of Measels and Harold died of Bronchitis aged 3. I had always known him as John and I can only think that he grew to look like Arthur John and so he was given the nickname John ?? OR , could it be that his temper was like Arthur John's ?? I couldnt help laughing but at least the grave is tidy, the gardeners just run the mower over it." Maria Harris ( nee Wilkin ) who died in 1936 is burried in The City of London Cemetery across the road from Manor Park Cemetery in a grave paid for by her son Bertrand.As noted previously , Arthur's and Maria's marriage was not a happy one. Bertrand Martin Harris was born on Jan 9th 1883 and died on Oct 14th 1973 at the age of 91.He married Blanch Mabel Pinnock in 1927 and they had two children,Elain Mary born on Dec 22nd 1927 and Margaret Elizabeth born on Feb 5th 1932 Elaine married Alan David Luton in 1951 and has two daughters, Carole Ann born in 1954 married Jonathon Hagger in 1974 and they have have two sons William and James, and Elizabeth Mary born in 1958 who has a daughter named Emma. Margaret married William Frederick Bruce in 1952 and have a daughter Isobel Margaret born in 1954 and a son William James Martin born in 1965. I have known Bertrand,Blanch,Elain and Margaret most of my life and I know that both Elain and Margaret are interested in their family history.

James Martin, my father, lived in the same home until he was married when he built a small bungalow on the farm.On the death of his father dad took over the farm and after the death of his mother Sarah in 1933 he had the home pulled down and a new one built on the same site.James sold the farm in 1938 and so came to an end the Wilkin relationship with Primrose Hill Farm. My brother Roger and I were born in the new bungalow and my sister Mary was born in the new home built on the site of the old Primrose Hill farmhouse. I was eleven when we moved from this farm so I do have some very good recolections of it which I will write in another location.

Notes for JAMES MARTIN WILKIN: [Wilkin.ftw]

JAMES MARTIN WILKIN (1890-1979)

James Martin Wilkin was born on Primrose Hill Farm,Pymore, on July 31st 1890 and died in Little Downham on April 24th 1979. He married Susan Hannah Taylor on Dec 27th 1922 and they had three children, Martin John Wilkin, Roger James Wilkin and Mary Kathleen Wilkin. Susan Hannah died in Little Downham on April 16th 1981. James Martin Wilkin was always called Martin. He was born on Primrose Hill Farm and as he grew he worked on the farm together with his father and brother Albert Henry.He was very mechanically inclined and spent a great deal of his time in the farm workshop making equipment and repairing that used every day on the farm. Martin was very interested in getting into Mechanical Engineering type work and leave the farming to his brother Albert Henry but unfortunately Albert died and Martin was the only male remaining to take over the farm. Martin was very interested in cycle racing and was one of the first in the area to own a Motorcycle. He became very reliable in maintaining the engines on motorcycles and when the first war was in progress he enlisted in the Huntingtonshire Motor Cyclists Battalion and took along his "Indian" motor cycle. He was very quickly given the task of repairing and maintaining all the bikes in the Battalion and was respected by all. A transfer from motorcycles to Tanks took Martin to France where he was involved in several battles with the Germans and he was wounded and gassed. While he was in France his brother Albert died of "consumption" After the armistice he returned to Primrose Hill Farm and assisted his dad James Cockle Wilkin with the farm.In 1922 Martin together with his dad purchased the farm from a Miss. Preston and associates who lived in Haddenham. In 1922 Martin married my mother Susan Hannah Taylor and I was born in 1927.I quote from the newspaper when we left in 1938 to give an indication of what Mum and Dad had been involved in .

"With hearty good wishes from a host of friends Mr & Mrs J M Wilkin together with their family last week left Primrose Hill Farm,Oxlode to take up their new residence near Clacton on Sea. Both exceedingly popular, not only in Little Downham, but throughout the surrounding district, Mr & Mrs Wilkin will be greatly missed.In the parish Mr Wilkin held numerous important positions. He was a school manager for Pymore and St Owens

School, vice chairman of the Parish Council, chairman of the local branch of the British Legion, President of the Memorial Hall, a member of the Downham Feoffees, President of the Downham Cricket Club, the Swifts Football Club and the Pymore and Oxlode Cricket Club. Of all the clubs he was a generous supporter. Mrs Wilkin also took a prominent part in the social activities of the parish. For several years she was the popular president of the women's section at the Memorial Hall and for some years held the position of hon. treasurer to their Share Out Club. Before leaving she was presented with a magnificent oak framed clock ,a gift from the members as a token of appreciation of her work among them and the high esteem in which she was held by them all."

An article about the Little Downham Cricket Club notes " Martin Wilkin ,whose generosity and sportsmanship was of the highest order" and also notes that Martin Wilkin had given them a new pavilion.

I dont remember my grandfather James Cockle Wilkin who died when I was one year old. I do vaguely remember my grandmother Sarah Ann Pearce who died when I was six. My mother used to tell me that my grandfather allways came out after his midday meal dressed up with shiny boots and a clean suit.This tradition was not followed by my father who spent 90% of his time in the workshop. When we moved to Clacton on Sea in 1938, Martin had gone into partnership with his cousin Bertrand Martin Harris(son of Maria) in purchasing Cooks Green Farm in Little Clacton. The farmhouse was rented out as a guesthouse so dad and mum lived in Clacton on Sea and dad traveled about five miles every day to farm Cooks Green. Bertrand Harris did not take part in running the farm. In 1939 Constance Louise Porter,a relative through William Cockle, the brother of Gr Grandmother Elizabeth, died and left Martin a substantial amount of land and a home called "Highfield House" in Hillrow, Nr. Haddenham. Because the war with Germany was making life uncomfortable along the coast Martin decided to move the family to Highfield House, Hillrow that year. Cooks Green Farm was rented to a Mr Johnson and Martin farmed the land left to him by Miss Porter together with the land in Aldreth known as Frog Hall which had previously belonged to his Uncle Harry. This carried on until 1945 when dad sold the land in Aldreth to a Mr Haylock from Sutton and also some of the Hillrow property. Martin and family then moved back to Clacton on Sea. Back in Clacton on Sea there was no farm available because Mr Johnson would not give up his lease on Cooks Green until 1957. My brother Roger was interested in farming so Martin had purchased a few pieces of land in the general area and in 1951-52 they moved from Albany Gardens to a

39 The Wilkin's of Haddenham property called "Lazylands" in Tendring. Roger kept a few pigs and farmed a few acres around Lazylands, Tendring and then in 1957 Martin and son Roger went into partnership and farmed Cooks Green. Martin bought out the share of the farm owned by Bertrand Harris and in about 1960 Roger James Wilkin bought the Cooks Green Farm from James Martin Wilkin and continues to farm that land today (1997) . In about 1968-69 Mum and Dad sold Lazylands in Tendring and moved back to Cannon St in Little Downham to be with some of the people they had grown up with and a few relatives including Ella Broker, Dads sister, Allan White the son of Ivy White, Dads Sister and Jack Taylor the brother of Susan my mother Martin died in 1979 and Susan in 1981and both are buried in Little Downham.(Both were cremated)

Notes for SUSAN HANNAH TAYLOR: [Wilkin.ftw]

Susan Hanah Taylor ( 1905--1981 )

Most of the information up to the mid-nineteen eighties was researched and written by my cousin Betty ( nee Taylor ) and Ron Cleveland ( her husband ) and is published by them in another seperate book. The Cleveland book on the Taylor History should be read by all who are "Taylor " oriented and are interested in the very many intricate details that they found. I have included a considerable number of further Taylor names which have been supplied to me by other offshoots of the Taylor family. Susan Hanah Taylor, my mother, was born of Gillet Taylor ( 1867-- 1944 ) and Julia Cooper (1869 --1961 ) in 1905 and was a sister to Dorothy Emma , Phyllis, William, Ethel Julia, Florence Maud, George Gillet, Mabel and Jack.

Notes for MARTIN JOHN WILKIN: [Wilkin.ftw]

MARTIN JOHN WILKIN (1927- )

The writer of this Family History is myself Martin John Wilkin (called John),son of James Martin and Susan Hannah Wilkin and I was born on Dec 30th 1927 at Primrose Hill Farm, Pymoor, Near Ely, Cambs, England. I was born in a small Bungalow built by my father on Primrose Hill Farm and lived there for a few years until the large farmhouse was demolished and a new home constructed and we all moved into the new house. In 1938 Primrose Hill Farm farm was sold to Mr Claud Starling and we moved to Clacton on Sea where my father purchased Cooks Green Farm in Little Clacton in partnership with his cousin Bertrand Harris.Bertrand did not partake in the actual farming and Dad did farm the land untill 1940 when the farm was leased to a Mr Johnson and the family moved back to Haddenham where Dad farmed Frog Hall Farm in Aldreth and also some land in Hillrow , Haddenham which had been left to him by Constance Louisa Porter together with the house we lived in called "Highfield House". In 1945 at the end of the war in Europe we moved back to Clacton on Sea. I attended school in Pymore for five years, the Pathfields School in Clacton on Sea for two years and The Kings' School in Ely at the Cathedral for five years until 1945. In 1945 I attended the Loughborough College of Engineering for three years and graduated in Civil Engineering in 1948. Then I served my National Service in the Royal Engineers until 1950 when I started my working career. I started off my career in Ampthill where I met my wife

45 The Wilkin's of Haddenham

Doreen.Subsequently I worked for various contractors in Aylsham in Norfolk, Cheltenham in Gloucestershire, Bath in Somerset, Banbury in Oxfordshire and Colchester in Essex. In 1955 I emigrated to Canada and was in Leamington Ontario initially and then moved to Windsor where I still live. In Canada I was initially a supervising Engineer for the Department of Highways of Ontario constructing major expressway roads between Toronto and Windsor. In 1959 I worked again for Contractors on road and sewer type works and then in 1969 I became the Director of Operations for the Public Works Department in the City of Windsor and retired from that position in 1992 I married Doreen Margaret Sharpe in Leamington, Ontario on December 1st 1956 and we have three daughters Julia Margaret (born 1959), Vicki Carilyn ( born1960 ), and Alison Jane ( born 1964 )

Notes for DOREEN MARGARET SHARPE: [Wilkin.ftw]

My husband, Martin John Wilkin, has done extensive research to prepare family trees of his family (Wilkin and Taylor) and my family (Sharpe and Crosley). During the research on my side certain events seemed of particular interest to me and I decided to put these into print.. I had always known that my Mother, Hester Margaret, was born in India but now find from further research that my Grandmother, Ella Blanche, was also born in India. Her Father was William Gordon Lynch Cotton. He was a Water Engineer with the Public Works Department in India (see Photographs #1, 2, & 3) . It appears that my Grandmother was sent to England for her education (see Photograph #4 - Prospectus of a boarding school for children whose parents were in India). My Grandfather, Herbert Charles Crosley, was born in England and attended Dulwich College, London (see photograph # 6.of him age 15 when a pupil there). He went to India about 1885. He opened up the Okayti Tea Estate (See Photo #13, 14 &15) in 1889, the same year he married my Grandmother, Ella Cotton. They started off married life in a tent but later photographs show the bungalow (Photograph #17)) also the dining room (Photograph #18 and 19) ) As manager of the Tea Estate my Grandfather was able to give his family a good life My Mother, Hester Margaret, and her two

46 The Wilkin's of Haddenham sisters, Ivy and Eileen, and two brothers, were all born at Okayti, Darjeeling. My Grandfather died in 1905 (see Photograph # 26....) and my Grandmother and three daughters returned to England to live at Sandhurst Villas, Ampthill, Bedfordshire, for a short time. I believe, with the death of my Grandfather, finances were low. My Mother was, I think, given secretarial training in London. My Aunt Ivy was quite an accomplished pianist and was encouraged in her music studies by Uncle Jack who provided a piano for her at some stage. She went to a convent school in Belgium, possibly because of her musical interest. She came back from Belgium by a somewhat adventurous route at the beginning of World War I and rejoined her family who were then living in Ealing. She worked at the Bank of England sorting out and dealing with 'dud' bank notes. Aunt Eileen went to a boarding school, St. Annes near Redhill, on the strength of a nomination by the Duchess of Bedford (the "Flying Duchess") who was an old friend of her Mother. Later she went to a domestic training college near Birmingham and then worked as a governess. A tape made in 1976 by Aunt Eileen for her grandsons, Stephen and Robin, is especially interesting and worth listening to as it gives a great insight to the lives of the three sisters in India, especially at Christmastime. The family tree shows that my Mother, Hester Margaret, also had 2 brothers but little is mentioned of them - we believe one died as a baby and the other at the age of two. Most of the photographs of the family in India were probably taken by my Grandmother's brother, Hugh Gordon Cotton, who was the Manager of the Ghatia Tea Estate, Jalpaiguri, Bengal. My Mother must have returned to Ampthill because she met and married my Father, Clement Richard Sharpe, in 1915.
