    An early source of parish records was provided by the LDS, in the form of the IGI for the parishes and the Ancestral File for other pedigrees. One of these was the work of Lashbrook Laker (son of John Laker & Jane Tate, dau of George 1776) who showed George 1776 being married to Mary Tank, but no Parish Record evidence has been found. Unfortunately, this line appears in a number of places on the internet databases, in particular, the LDS AF. The marriage to Mary Neal is the only one between a George Tate and a Mary. There were none in the relevant period in Findon. They probably moved (back?) from Petworth to Findon about 1803.
    The West Sussex Record Office in Chichester has a good collection of parish and other records, which have been studied, but need further work (7/2004)
    Chichester will indexes were checked (9/2009); there are few relevant Tate wills, some Neal wills were transcribed, but none immediately relevant. No suitable Goddard wills were found.

Berkshire Family

    The Tate family came from West Sussex, inland from Brighton and married into the Dolman family of the Midlands. One of life's great mysteries is how Alice Tate, a girl born in 1863 to a publican in Brighton came to meet a meat salesman from Burton on Trent: an early holiday romance, perhaps as a result of new railway travel? For the Dolman family see Dolman 01. To add to this, Alice, after the death of her husband, Enoch, in 1898, moved with the family to Alberta, Canada. This might have been encouraged by her father-in-law, Enoch snr, who was a dealer in American meats.
    There were quite a number of Tate families around the country: a large one in the North East of England, and a prosperous one in London, with connections around Mitcham in Surrey, but our Tates of Sussex were rather more humble, employed in agriculture, as labourers and latterly as wheelwrights. Alice's father, Thomas jnr, was the publican.
    The family was originally documented by a family member, Lashbrook Laker, a nephew of our Thomas Tate snr, who emigrated to the USA in the mid 19thC. Some of his work is of uncertain accuracy, in particular the marriage of George Tate, 1766; see under his entry.
    Alice's mother, Ann King, was born near Reading, and so another mystery is how she and her husband, Thomas Tate jnr, met when they, with their humble backgrounds lived some 70 miles apart. Perhaps it was through the brewing trade: Ann was a nursemaid in a pub in Basingstoke in 1851. There are indications that Ann’s grandfather, William had interests further afield, in London, and her father was a carrier, so would have travelled around the area. The Kings and families, such as Watkins, they married into were widespread in the Reading area, but there is little or no clue of who they were or what they did – most probably agricultural workers.
    The Reading Record Office holds good records for the King family in the area: interestingly, there are Goddards (Alice Tate’s grandmother was Agnes Goddard) in the same area from which the King family originated. Maybe this was the connection. The King family were also agricultural based and mostly labourers around Swallowfield, south of Reading; the earlier ones left little trace beyond parish records.
     The Tate story that can be told with any confidence starts with William and Elizabeth Tate who had at least 6 children baptised in West Tarring, Sussex at the beginning of the 18^thC. The only likely William found was one of 2 born to George Tate (no mother recorded) and George and Rachel Tate in Midhurst, but whether this is the same as the one in West Tarring is a matter of speculation. His eldest putative son, William (there is no direct evidence that this William is correct, but it looks likely) was the ancestor of the Timber Mill family. The 4^th son, George, born 1707, is the best fit for our ancestor.
      The link between the family in West Tarring with the one 2 generations later in the Findon/Beeding area is the only one which fits the available information. The early writings by Lashbrook Laker had a line which cannot be proved by the parish records. The most plausible sequence is that George (1707) at some point migrated north from West Tarring, probably for work, and married Mary Peters in Newdigate, Surrey. George & Mary had 5 children in Newdigate, the 2^nd son being George Tate (1744). Mary Peters birth in 1712 to Joseph is the only one in the area, albeit rather old (26) at marriage, but before her parents it is difficult to sort out the extensive family in the Dorking area, who can be traced back several generations to the early 17^thC, although the size of the family makes it difficult to fix the line with any great certainty. Mary’s mother, Elizabeth Dandy, family are not known before her parents.
      George Tate married in Dorking, not far from Newdigate, Sarah Dale in 1770, and it is assumed this is George (1744); Sarah was born in Rusper, a neighbouring parish: her parents and grand parents are known. George & Sarah then had 3 children in Dorking, followed by a further 6 in Findon: the sequence of dates fits very well to be the same couple. One puzzling fact is that at marriage, George was described as of Staines. However, there are no other George Tates in Sussex and Surrey in the time period. It is probable that George was working in Staines, but knew Sarah or her family when in Newdigate, not far from Dorking. His move about 1775 to Findon, where there were many of the wider Tate family makes it more likely that he was indeed a member of that family, somewhat later, a John Dale of Rusper took on the tenancy of Aldhurst farm in Capel.
      From George & Sarah Tate in Findon, the descent is clear. Their 2^nd son, the first born in Findon, was George (1776); he had a number of children by his wife Mary: the only plausible Sussex marriage was to Mary Neal in 1798, at Petworth, when they were both of Petworth; she was from a local farming family, with forebears Garland and Peckwell in Petworth, Pulborough.
      In a similar way to his father, there is a sequence of children, the first 3 being born in Petworth, and the remainder in Findon, with a steady interval between them, like his father, it all makes sense for this to be same couple. George and his son George appear in the tithe map of 1839 next door to each other close to Findon Park, with small holdings. An additional corroboration that the Petworth George and Mary are the same as the Findon family is George jnr (1802) in Findon was born in Petworth according to the 1851 census.
    George & Mary Tate’s 3^rd son was Thomas Tate, born 1809 in Findon, Sussex. He was a wheelwright in Beeding, where he married his wife Agnes Carter Goddard (so called as she was born a couple of months before her parents, William and Philly/Kitty/ Philadelphia Goddard, married) in 1832. Kitty Goddard’s father was a school teacher in Beeding, where David & Philadelphia (Geering) kept a “respectable school for upwards of 57 years”. David Goddard was born in Beeding, his mother being local, but his father may have come from Petworth; this line of Goddards started with one Holland Goddard who had a family in Petworth: of his origins, nothing is known, but he may have been an immigrant, the only other one being in Bristol about the same time. There was another, apparently unrelated family in Steyning, Richard who died in 1828 was a labourer in his will, but left rather more than a simple man would normally have done.
     Thomas lived in Steyning in 1840[1], but by 1851 was a wheelwright or carpenter, in Beeding, where he remained for the rest of his long life, outliving his son, and was last seen, still called a wheelwright in 1891 aged 84, by then in lodgings in Portslade. He and Agnes had 9 children, the 4^th child and 2^nd son being Thomas Tate, born in Steyning in 1838 (Thomas jnr).
    Thomas Tate, jnr. who married Ann King from Swallowfield, just south of Reading, started life as an agricultural labourer, moving on to become a brewers labourer and then a publican. It seems likely that he worked for Robin’s Brewery which was in Waterloo St, Brighton from 1789-1924, before becoming a publican, firstly at The Anchor in Portslade[2], in 1863, and in 1865, The Half Brick Beer-house[3], initially referred to as Copperas Gap (a name for that part of Portslade). In 1865, he got away with serving out of hours as described in the paper “A POLICEMAN OUTWITTING HIMSELF”[4]. By 1867, he had the Half Brick licensed, where he remained for some years, before moving (up?) to the Clarendon Arms. A contemporary photograph of the Clarendon Arms proclaims it sells Robin’s Fine Ales. He appears in various papers, renewing his licence from time to time, and serving alcohol outside hours. The Clarendon Arms appears in the papers in the 1870’s as the location for inquests.
    Somewhat confusingly, there was also a Thomas Tate as a publican in Brighton, at the Bat & Ball.
    After Thomas died, Ann remarried Benjamin Wood, who took on the Clarendon Arms; Ann then died and Benjamin afterwards married Emma Sharp, his general servant in the 1881 census, and had several children by her, having had none by Ann.
    Ann and Thomas’s daughter, Alice Ada Tate was the one who married Enoch Dolman, then resident on Burton on Trent, but soon moving to Wolverhampton and died in 1898. Soon after the 1911 census when Alice was still in Wolverhampton, she emigrated to Alberta, Canada, where her daughter, Florence, married Frederick Kirk-Owen.
     In 1782, William Tate (brother or nephew of George) was known in the Findon area primarily as a timber merchant, with Thomas and James Tate were working as blacksmiths and Sarah Tate as a dressmaker. By the mid 1800s, the main trade was as wheelwrights and master carpenters. George, and then his sons James and George Junior would work with oak in the summer, and ash, beech and elm in the winter to produce cart and coach wheels for the local area. William’s great grandson was one of many people who went bankrupt in the 1820’s.

Parents: Enoch & Alice Ada (Tate) Dolman
Married: Frederic Kirk Owen Owen Pages (no trace on St C Indexes)
Died: abt 1968, Canada.

Ref Elizabeth Kirk-Owen (nee Chadwick), Florence's daughter-in-law:
Rex's mother was a Dolman from the Wolverhampton area, possibly Glenthorne, Penn, Wolverhampton. This of born out by birth records and the family bible which shows his mother's, Florence, mother to have been born Alice Ada Tate.
Frederick and Florence moved to Canada before the Great War to a farm bought by Alice Ada near Calgary after the death of Enoch, Florence's father. It is probable that they met in Canada or possibly in England: no trace of their marriage was found between 1912-14 on St C Indexes).
Florence was injured in a riding accident and walked with a severe limp for the rest of her life: EAK-O describes her as a "loving person". Photographs exist of her at Rex's wedding in 1947 and again in 1964.

6.1 THOMAS TATE – 1838 G6

KO06/07

The father of Alice Ada Birth PR checked & Marriage Certificate held.
Dolman Bible & PR Shows:
Born^2,9a: 31/1/1838, ch 4/3/1838 @ Steyning (PR only, no civil reg).
Parents: Thomas & Agnes Tate
Died (D/Cert held)^DC: 8/6/1876, age 38, Innkeeper, of peritonitis, at The Clarendon Arms, North St, Portslade. Ann Tate at death.

Will: He left a simple will, dated 7 June 1876, the day before he died, leaving all his real and personal estate to his wife Ann, who was also his executrix. He was described as a licensed victualler. The will was proved in Lewes 24/7/1876, with assets less than 100 sterling.

    The Dolman bible has an entry for Alice Blanche's birth on 18/2 and death 26/5 but in both cases with the year scratched out: the King census shows a Blanche aged 1 in 1851. Either Alice Blanche died early or maybe was illegitimate daughter of Ann King when she was very young. Ann was not at Swallowfield in 1851.

     His birthday is given as 30 Jan 1838 in the family bible, but his age in the 1841 census is given as 4, making him born about 1836-37. No civil record exists of his birth after legal registration in June 1837.
     The Parish records show Thomas Tate, son of Thomas & Agnes being christened 4/3/1838, his father being a wheelwright. His father's trade is confirmed on his marriage certificate: there is little doubt that this is the correct connection. He himself seemed a little uncertain about his birth: in 1861 he did not know his birth place, but by 1871, he gave it as Steyning. His father was a wheelwright in Beeding by 1851, when Thomas was a 15 year old labourer.
   He married Ann King in 1859 in Brighton, when they lived at Portland St: he worked as a brewer's labourer. When their daughter, Alice, was born, he was a beerhouse keeper at the Half Brick Beerhouse in Portslade (no longer existing in 1994). He died 1876 at the Clarendon Arms, North St, Portslade, although his family continued to live in Portslade. His wife remarried and remained at the Pub.
    He appeared in the newspapers several times, mostly in reports from the Pub licensing sittings, and a couple of times for selling alcohol outside hours, some of which he got away with:

A CURIOUS CASE—A CONSTABLE OUTWITTED[6]

THOMAS ISOM V. THOMAS TATE.—Defendant, the keeper of a public-house at Portslade, was summoned at the instance of the complainant, a police-constable of the East Sussex Constabulary, for selling beer during the hours of Divine service on Sunday morning, the 12th inst. Mr Runnacles appeared for the defendant.
Complainant stated—I am stationed at the Preston Barracks. On Sunday, the 12th inst., about ten o’clock in the forenoon, I was on duty in Portslade, in plain clothes. I was standing opposite defendant’s beer-shop at Copperas Gap, when I saw four men in succession leave the house— each of them having a basket. They were working men. About a quarter past ten I saw two men go towards the house, and they stopped and tapped at the window. Defendant pulled the blind on one side and he then opened the door and the men walked in. They appeared to be labouring men. I followed them in and asked for a glass of half and half. Before defendant served me, I said I had better have a pint. I had a pint and paid 3d. for it. The two men asked for a pint of ale; defendant served them and they drank it. One stood at the bar and the other went into the tap-room. One of them called for another pint of ale and it was served him. I afterwards went into the taproom and saw three men there. I soon left the premises about twenty minutes to twelve o CLOCK. I then tapped at the door and defendant pulled the blind on one side. I let him know that I wanted to come in. He shook his head at me and did not open the door. I then told him I was a police-constable, but he did not open the door for about three minutes. I then went in, and found the same two men still there that had entered with me—one in the bar and the other in defendants private room. They had got no beer. There were four other men in the taproom. They had no beer there, and defendant said they were lodgers. He told me that the other two came there to do some repairs to the gas. I did not see that they had any basket or tools. Defendant called me into his room, and said he had something to say to me. He then said, “Now, come, you can look over this." I said, “I can’t look over it.” He then said, “5s. will square this,” but I said, “No, not £5, nor yet £40. I must report this to my superiors.” He then said, “I’ll give you £2, and put his hand into his pocket,” but I said, “Its no use your pulling out any money for I shan’t take it,” and I then left the house. He did not ask me if I was a traveller.

Cross-examined by Mr Runnacles—I rode in a cart from Preston Barracks to Brighton, and then took the train to Portslade. I did not say that I was a traveller, or that I was on the road. He told me that the men had been doing something to the gas. I did go to the Clarence beer-shop that morning and ask for a glass of ale.

For the defence, Mr Runnacles called Henry Francis, one of the young men who went to repair defendant's gas pipe, and his evidence showed that the beer which they drank was given them by the defendant. When they entered the house, the constable came in behind them and defendant was about to shut the door upon him when he said he wanted a glass of ale. Defendant told him he could not supply him as it was Sunday morning. Complainant then said, I am on the road and shan’t stop a moment. Defendant then said “If you don't stop, you may have a glass and go.” He then served him with a pint of ale.

This was the whole of the facts of the case, and Mr Carpenter, in giving his decision, ruled that the constable had clearly made himself out a “traveller," and that he was therefore entitled to the refreshment of which he partook. He therefore dismissed the summons.

This decision created a good deal of surprise.

1841 Census: At Steyning: Thomas Tate (30), Agnes (30), Ann (6), William (5), Thomas (4), Emeline (1). All born in Sussex.
1851 Census, High St Beeding:
With parents: Thomas Tate (15, Agricultural Labourer, Steyning).
1859: Brighton, Kelly’s, not at Portland St; the listing would have been before his marriage.
1861 Census: At 41, Portland St, Brighton (Pavilion) just north of The Lanes:
Thomas Tate (23, a Brewer's Labourer, birth place N.K). Ann Tate (23, Swallowfield, Berks).

1863-5: applied for licence for the Anchor Beer-house, situated on the high road leading from the turnpike to the Railway station at Portslade. The house had been kept by applicant for a year or something more, and he had carried it on in a most unexceptionable manner. The neighbourhood there was an increasing one, and the house was well adapted to receive a license. There were several brick yards near, and some new houses were being built in the vicinity; in addition to which there was no public house near. Refused on technicality[7].
There was also a later application for a location referred to as Copperas Gap, an area of Portslade, the name used formerly for the seaward end of Portslade parish, known from about late 17th cent until mid 20th cent. Applied for the license, but refused. This was probably what became the Half Brick House, where he held a licence for some years.

1866: reapplied for a licence at the Half-Brick House, Portslade, where he had been resident for 2 years.

8.1 GEORGE TATE – 1776 G8

KO08/25 (2NCV-FD)

He was the father of Thomas Tate (1).

Ch: 26/1/1776 at Findon. (PR/IGI/AF)
Parents: George & Sarah Tate.
Bur: George Tate of Nepcote Findon 21/6/1846 age 70 (PR).
Findon in 1839[15].

    Tithe Awards, 1839, show George snr living next to George jnr a little north of the gates of Findon Park, in houses and gardens. He probably worked on the Findon Park.
1812: George Tate of Shoreham, lets a farm for 5 years at Findon, 100 acres, not him.
1841 Census, Nepcote:
Geo Tate (65, Wheelwright, Y), Mary (65, Y), Albert (6, inmate, Y).

George, the son, was at Nepcote in Census 51, born in Petworth 1802.

Mary, wife of George snr, age at death corresponds with date of birth in Pulborough.
     These facts show the connection with Petworth and West Sussex.

    The work of Lashbrook Laker shows George being married to Mary Tank, but no Parish Record evidence has been found. The marriage to Mary Neal is the only one between a George Tate and a Mary. There were none in the relevant period in Findon. They probably moved (back?) from Petworth to Findon about 1803.
     AF has a different spouse for George and repeat children entries under different reference numbers, both numbers are included, issue by Mary Tank & Mary Marner included: for more comments see at the end of this section.

8.2 WILLIAM CARTER

Without more information, it is not possible to select which of the many William Carters baptised about 1791 in Sussex – maybe one in Portslade 17/1/1790 of Thomas & Elizabeth, but a complete guess, being the nearest.

"Philly" Goddard married William Carter 27/11/1809^FMPt at Beeding.
This was probably her. IGI has Agnes parents as William Carter & Philly Goddard: they were married soon after this date.
Buried: William Carter, Upper Beeding age 61 10/12/1833^FMPt.

KITTY GODDARD

KO08/28

The mother of Agnes Goddard.
PR shows: Ch 24/4/1791 at Beeding (no doubt that she was "Kitty")
IGI shows: Phillidelphia ch 24/4/1791 at Beeding (parents same).
Parents: David & Philadelphia (prob).

1841 Census, Beeding: Phillip Goddard (25, Taylor), Ruth (30), Kitty (50).

IGI shows BMD Index: Philly Carter died Q2 1839, Steyning 7 316.
DC: Philly Carter, 13/5/1839, Beeding, 48, Consumption, Harriet Goddard, sister, of Beeding.

It is thus reasonable to assume that Agnes' father was William Carter, but the church was being somewhat pedantic about the names, as they were married a couple of months after Agnes' birth.

9.1 GEORGE TATE – 1744 G9

KO09/49

Father of George Tate

Christened: 19/9/1744, Newdigate, Surrey. (IGI & PR transcript)
Parents: George & Mary (Peters) Tate

PR: George Tate the oldest bur 1/2/1827 age 82 Findon (there being 3 generations of George Tate alive in 1827).

2006/7:
The AF and IGI have no real information on this George in Sussex, but Surrey IGI has the following (confirmed by later databases 10/2019). The age is correct and a line starting in Sussex can be constructed, so this looks likely. An assumption had been made in the AF that George was the son of William Tate (b 1696). There was no evidence of this and William would probably not have been having children by 1745.
It looks as though he may have married Sarah Dale in Dorking and then remained there for a while before moving to Findon where his later children were born. A study of the Surrey records show this to be a reasonable assumption. Rusper, where Sarah Dale was born, is the next parish to Newdigate.

PR for Washington, Storrington, Sullington, Petworth, Wiggin Holt, Westhampnet checked 1735-50 for George - nil (except Petworth, these are not on IGI).

Diana Tate ch 19/3/1749 @ Petworth, parents Thomas & Sarah - is this relevant???

Married: George Tate of Staines, bachelor, married Sarah Dale OTP spinster, 5/6/1770 Dorking, Surrey (PR transcript) – that she was Sarah comes from the children’s baptisms.

Allegations for Marriage Licences Commissiary Court of Surrey:
4/6/1770: George Tate of Staines, county Middlesex, abode 4 weeks, signs, bachelor, 21, and Sarah Dale of Dorking, spinster, 21 at Dorking.
Most allegations seem to have 4 weeks for the abode.

A George Tate paid tax in New Shoreham 1798.

Philadelphia Goddard buried Upper Beeding, 10/10/1847^FMPt, age 81.

Died 2nd inst (Oct 1947), at Upper Beeding, in her 81st year, Philadelphia Goddard, widow of the late Mr David Goddard, of that parish, where they kept a respectable school for upwards of 57 years[19].

A Phillis Goddard lived with Richard Goddard (David's brother), a schoolmaster, in 1841 and was a widow age 65. This was probably their mother, Philadelphia.

There were several families of Geering with issue on the Sussex coast in the period 1760-1780, but no Philadelphia’s (or Kitty’s).

There were a family of Goddards in Swallowfield and Shinfield contemporary with the Kings: Ann King, daughter of John of Swallowfield (see his entry), married Thomas Tate, Kitty's probable grandson.

11.1 WILLIAM TATE Gen 11

KO11/193

William Tate, father of George Tate (1709) and his brothers has not been identified positively. At least 2 alternatives existed:

William Tate ch 2/2/1672-3^LDSi, Midhurst of George,
OR
William Tate ch 7/3/1673-4^LDsi, Midhurst, of George & Rachel
Also by George & Rachel: Mary, 7/4/1681
George Tate married Rachel Henly, Shalford, Surrey (south), 13/5/1672^FMPt.
Rachel Tate buried 11/2/1681-2 Midhurst.

A George Tate buried Midhurst 11/10/1680^LDSi.

Will of William Tate of Midhurst, Blacksmith. Dated 5/5/1682, proved August 1682:
To wife Eleanor all goods & chattels to bring up 2 children for her life.
Then to 2 sons, John & William.

No marriage has been found, except for one in 21/11/1686 in Westminster to Elizabeth Freeman of Southwark. Too early and location unlikely.

Issue of William & Elizabeth, West Tarring.
1/1. William Tate, probably of this family, but not certain

The ancestral file has the William born 12/3/1696 (MFJ8-09) of William & Elizabeth, but he is not found in any databases. The ancestral file also had him buried in 1768, aged 72, but the PR does not have an age, so he might have been any age. The West Tarring records are a little sketchy in the period, so he may well have been missed off; he must have been born by 1803 from his marriage date. It does seem reasonable that he is of this family however.
He started the line which ended up as timber merchants later.

Married: William Tate & Margaret Robinson, ask 3^rd, 12/10/1721, Steyning^LDSi.

Bur William Tate, West Tarring, 5/12/1728 – not this one.

This line is a mixture of LDS Ancestral File and various contributors, Peter East being a major one.

AF has the following descendancy for William, claimed to be the father of our George Tate, b 1745: as of 5/1999, no record of this connection has been found. See under George's entry for 2006 info.

Ann, dau of William T jnr bur 13/12/1779 Findon^PR

He named 3 children, Lucy, William & John in his will and they appear at the right time in Findon by a wife Lucy, and the only marriage between a William Tate and Lucy in the period was:
Marriage of William Tate at St Botolph’s Aldgate, London, to Lucy Wheeler, 8/1/1794, with William a widower^LDSt, with a Faculty Office Marriage Licence. This looks geographically unlikely, but time is right: daughter Lucy born in 1795.

Buried 30/3/1803, Findon.

It seems likely that Lucy Wheeler is correct, and that she died, probably soon after the 3^rd child was born, but there is no record found of her burial. From his will, he then married an Elizabeth, the IGI suggested long ago that she was Elizabeth Last, but there is no evidence of that. There are no suitable Sussex marriages, but several in London, but no indication which if any is correct.

By 1785, William Tate, although primarily a timber merchant, farmed 99 acres of Findon agricultural land. He held seventeen acres by copyhold from Findon Manor and this was at Nepcote Green. In all he leased 82 acres from four other different Findon landowners. It could be said that Tate farmed on a comparatively large scale. In those days most tradesmen had agricultural interests, some of them considerable, so it is difficult to calculate which activity was the main source of Tate's wealth, the timber business or that of farming. William Tate is mentioned again in the Findon Court Book of 1795. Tate the timber merchant and farmer had been given the right to vote in county elections by 1798, so it appears he had climbed the ladder of success. He was also churchwarden at St. John the Baptist Church in the days when the Reverend William Payne was the vicar[23].

PART 3 THE BERKSHIRE FAMILY

The King family of Berkshire is described below. John King (1804-1893) is the only one about whom much is known. They seemed to have been humble agricultural workers, without many assets and so have left no property or will trails. An ancestry has been pieced together from the IGI, cross checked with the Parish Records (originals or transcripts). As with any lineage of this sort, it has elements of guesswork in it - not good for a court of law! At Mary 2007, a further study of the Reading area Parish records might clarify some of the earlier families.
A number of this line were christened at Reading St Mary (RSM); in interesting feature of the burial records in the 18thC was the number of individuals (not connected with us!) who were hanged. Several a year.

7.1 JOHN KING

KO07/15

The father of Ann King. PR/IGI/Census shows:
Born: abt 1804-5 (Cen51), ch 29/1/1804 (PR/IGI) @ Swallowfield, (Berks re census).
Parents (IGI): William & Jane
Death^DC: John King: age 89 of Swallowfield, 25/1/1893. (No Will)

John King was variously a small farmer, dealer and publican in Riseley Green, a small village South of Swallowfield, a larger village itself about 5-10 miles South of Reading in Berkshire.

1817: Enclosure map shows John King in same position as later in Tithe Map. He is referred to as "owner of an old inclosure" adjoining a small plot of land available for the poor to collect fuel.

1842 Swallowfield (Berks) Tithe:
John King shown as tenant of Sir Henry Russell of 2 plots:
103: cottage and garden (0-1-2) and
105: "King's Pightle", arable field (1-2-11). Pightle means a small field or enclosure.

Also noted was Thomas Goddard renting 68 acres. References to Goddards is fairly common in the records (parish and Tithe) for this and neighbouring parishes - was there any connection between these Goddards and those in Sussex. All these Goddards seem to be locally born. John's daughter Ann, married to Thomas Tate whose mother was Agnes Goddard. This could be an explanation of how two people of humble backgrounds from geographically well separated areas met before the days of rail travel.
1842 Swallowfield (Wilts) Tithe:
Sarah King (0-1-2)
Swallowfield at this time had some land which was part of Wiltshire, although the main part of that county is many miles away: this anomaly, probably originating since Anglo-Saxon times, was removed in the mid 9thC.

John King's plots are just west of the Blackwater River on a minor road south-east of Riseley, now at the junction of a road called School lane and a lane heading west. In 10/2001, the "fuel plot" is a horse paddock, surrounded by trees, still with the atmosphere it must have had when it was a remote wooded copse. There are small houses along the lane, but they appear relatively recent, but one is probably on the site of John's.

From Duncan Grover[iv] March 2003 & Feb 04.
…..I am descended from Mary King, John's daughter by his first wife, Rebecca Hunt. I believe this makes me a 4th half cousin to your wife! Mary married William Lee in Brighton on 28 April 1862 (interesting, another daughter marrying in Brighton: one witness at their wedding was Thomas Tate). Following their marriage, they emigrated to Indiana, Mary giving birth to their eldest son there, William Richard Lee, b 1863. They then returned to England, perhaps because of the US Civil War, and settled in William's home village, Amberley in Sussex.
Their daughter, Ellen, was my great grandmother and was William and Mary's eighth known child born on 1 May 1873 in Amberley. She married my great grandfather, William John Grover, the railway stationmaster at Amberley, on 7 July 1891 in Amberley Church.

Ellen and William had 5 children who reached adulthood, and the fourth, Albert Edward Grover, was my grandfather, born on 27 July 1906 in Brighton. Albert, a printer, married my grandmother, Beatrice Ena Loveland, on 12 May 1934 in Brighton. They had 2 sons, and the eldest, my father, Peter Albert Derek Grover was born on 17 September 1939. He married my mother, Margaret Rose Theaker on 21 December 1963 in Brighton. I am their eldest child, Duncan Peter Grover, born on 2 July 1967 in Brighton.

Berkshire Chronicle - Saturday 28 January 1860:George Reed, aged eleven years, was charged upon remind, with stealing a brass boiler, value 2s., the property of John King, on the 5th January, at Swallowfield. Mrs. King deposed: I am the wife of John King, labourer, and live in the parish of Swallowfield in this county. On the 5th of January inst., I last saw safe in my premises an old brass boiler. The next day I missed it. I did not see it again until last Tuesday in the hands of Superintendent Crook. It is now produced by him. It is beaten up and battered, but l know it by some holes in it to be the same. It is of the value of 2s., and my husband's property. The prisoner, George Reed, now present, lives near me. I have seen him about my premises, but I do not particularly remember that day.—George Thatcher deposed: I am 13 years of age, and live with my parents at Swallowfield. I saw the prisoner one day the week before last, about six o'clock at night, go to the premises of Mr. King, and take out of the garden near the house an old boiler. I was going to the shop of Mr. King for my father. I was going to the shop of Mr. King for my father. I saw him take it to a gate, and I left him there. I had seen it there before. About a week after that I saw him sell it to a man going about buying things. I saw the man give him 6d. for it. It was beat up when sold, but I do not know by whom. The prisoner said the boiler was his own when he sold it. I saw the man take it away. I have seen the battered boiler now produced; it is the same.—By the Prisoner: I saw the man give you two oranges, and you gave me one of them. —George Crook deposed : I am Superintendent of the Berks County Police. On the 17th of January inst., I went with Mr. King to a Mrs. Lyons, in London Street, Reading. She is a marine store dealer. I enquired if an old brass boiler had been sold. She said she did not know, but I might search. I did so, and under the counter I found as it is now, the boiler produced. Mrs. King identified it, and I took possession of it. I asked her what she gave for it. She said 6d per lb. It weighted 6 lb 8oz. The prisoner consented to the justices deciding the case, and was sentenced to seven days’ imprisonment with hard labour.

8.1 WILLIAM KING

KO08/29

The father of John King
PR shows: Born: ch 3/8/1766 @ Swallowfield.
Parents: William & Elizabeth (Cook) King
Death: William: age 64 of Riseley Common, 2/12/1831
Tombstone: Swallowfield Ch, "in memory of William King of Swallowfield died 27 November 1831, aged 68" - a substantial grave stone.

There are indications that this King family may have been more widely travelled than some. It looks pretty certain that William did indeed marry in Lambeth: the dates and names fit too well, and Jane White was born in Berkshire. Additionally, his daughter, Miriam, married in London to Aaron Coxhead (a William Coxhead was a watchmaker & Jeweller in Reading in 1868). This is backed up by William’s substantial grave stone, indicating he was of some standing in the community.

Married: Jane – the Lambeth marriage looks unlikely, but daughter Miriam was married in Westminster....
William King, bachelor, married Jane White, St Mary Lambeth, 30/8/1790, both signed, by banns.

FORBES ESQ. V. COXHEAD.

A special Jury was called in this case, but only two answered.

This was an action brought by Michie Forbes, esq. against the defendant Aaron Coxhead, for damages occasioned by the defendant’s omitting to fulfil the conditions of a contract.

The defendant in 1821 look a lease of a farm belonging to the estate at Sunninghill, which the plaintiff purchased in 1823. By the terms of the contract the defendant engaged to cultivate the land in a proper and husbandlike manner. The lease being determinable at the end of seven, fourteen, or twenty-one years, the defendant gave notice to quit at March, 1828. When the notice was given to the plaintiff, he hearing the defendant was cropping his land in an improper manner, sent his steward, who remonstrated with him on the course he was adopting. Defendant said he should farm as he liked, and Mr. Forbes might help himself. Mr. Roberts, plaintiff’s solicitor, served the defendant with a notice to induce him to abide by the contract. Coxhead however, did not attend to this notice, but cropped the whole of the land with corn, except an acre of potatoes and neglected to repair the fences or scour the ditches, leaving the farm in a most miserable condition. This statement was proved by the witnesses, one of whom estimated the damage, at a moderate calculation, at 71/. 1s. 8d. which was given by the Jury[34].

11.2 JOHN KNIGHT

The father of Elizabeth Knight, born Reading 1704.

The only one appearing on the databases was baptised Upton Nervet, a few miles west of Reading, 1/10/1667, of Elizabeth Knight, which seems too old.

There is no firm evidence of who he was, and who he married, the local children by John Knight have in addition to Temperance, mothers called Catherine and Elizabeth. The later ones at Shinfield have no mother named, so could easily have been the Temperance family. Were they non-conformists with his wife’s name Temperance? Elizabeth was the only issue specifically of Temperance.

Elizabeth Knight, of John & Temperance, Reading St Mary, 18/10/1704.
Joseph Knight, son of John, Shinfield, 26/10/1707
Margaret Knight, Shinfield, of John, 28/5/1710
John Knight, Shinfield, of John, 20/12/1713
William Knight, of John, Shinfield, 20/5/1716

There is a will of John Knight in Reading, but it does not look to be our John, his daughter Mary was married to Headland, and there is a Swallowfield marriage of Mary knight and Daniel Headland 24/10/1704:

Dated 20 August 1720, a John Knight buried 13/9/1720, Shinfield.
Inventory dated 15/9/1720.
John Knight, yeoman of Shinfield. Left legacies to sons Richard, Thomas, Samuel, Peter & Joseph, who was the principle heir (probably the oldest). Daughters Elizabeth & Mary, who was named Mary Headland, wife of Daniel and their 5 children.
The inventory shows him to have had household property and farm stock, including 8 cows and a bull, 4 bullocks, 2 fattening cows, 6 hoggs and 17 piggs, 37 sheep, 38 lambs (not a bad lambing proportion for the era) and 6 horses. Estate value £361-1-4d.

It is difficult to find the right combination of children to fit the above will
Richard Knight, son of John & Catherine, Swallowfield 24/11/1695
Joseph Knight of John & Eliz. Sulhampstead Abbotts (E of Burghfield), 22/8/1695.

PART 6 OTHER TATE BRANCHES

6 ANCESTRAL FILE & LASHBROOK LAKER

ANCESTRAL FILE

The LDS Ancestral File shows George Tate Snr marrying both Mary Tank and Mary Marner at Findon, but there is no evidence of this in the Parish Records. He is also said to have married Susannah Marner, but this George Tate came from West Tarring (now in Worthing) and was probably born in Sompting 16/10/1774 of George & Ann Holter. This marriage was 12/6/1802 in Findon.
PR: George T of West Tarring m. Susanna Marner of Findon 2/1802.

AF shows George Tate (incorrectly) married:

THOMAS and Sarah MARNER
They were the parents of Mary Marner and had other children: Hannah, Richard, Thomas, Elisabeth, William, Michael and Benjamin. (ref WDB).

MARY MARNER
According to AF, she was the mother of Thomas Tate (1).
She was born in Findon and christened on 21 Sept 1783. Her parents were Thomas and Sarah Marner.

Gordon Weaver who produced this line[vii] 6/2011.

This individual does not fit in with our George Tate George, son of William was too early for this Edward, and his son George was producing children at the wrong intervals for this to fit.
He appears as a descendant of William Tate, generation 11.

Hewlitt resigned from the Police Force on the 31 December, 1865. The New South Wales Police was actually formed early 1862 and prior to that New South Wales was serviced by a Military style Police Service consisting mainly of Colonial Soldiers.

Notes for Mary SMITH:
MARY Information supplied by Audrey BRIDGES. (Granddaughter of Mary's youngest child, Mary Australia SMITH)
Thomas and Margaret SMITH'S first child, Mary, was christened at Long Houghton, Northumberland, England, on the 4th April, 1830, and came to Australia with her parents, a sister and three brothers in 1841. They travelled to Dungog where Thomas, a blacksmith, commenced work for Mr McKay at 'Cangon'. Mary married Hewlitt John TATE who was born on 1st February, 1835, at New Shoreham, Sussex, England, at St. James Church in Morpeth which had been built by Lieutenant E.C. Close in gratitude for surviving the Battle of Albuera, when serving in the Duke of Wellingtons' army in Spain. Hewlitt TATE was a son of Edward and Priscilla (nee Platt) TATE who had been married on 29 December, 1826, in Shoreham, Sussex, where the TATES number among their kin, a Lord Mayor of London, a benifactor of the Tate Gallery and two famous English Test cricketers Frederick TATE and his son Maurice TATE. Mary and Hewlitt lived in Dungog and the surrounding district, Hewlitt being a Police Trooper when Thomas James was born in 1865 at Wollombi. In a letter written from Morpeth on 19 October, 1865 to George, Edward Tate describes a sudden critical illness Hewlitt was experiencing which necessitated bringing a doctor out from Maitland, as well as being treated by the local one at Morpeth, where Hewlitt, Mary and family were now living. Also mentioned was the fact that Hewlitt's mother-in-law, that is, Margaret Smith, had come down from Dungog to be with the family. Hewlitt recovered although he was only forty nine years old when he died in 1894.

After Paddy died Mary went to Newcastle to live with her youngest daughter, Mary WEAVER, until her death and burial at Sandgate Cemetary in 1909.
Audrey Bridges' grandmother, Mary (Tate) WEAVER, told her that Mary (Smith) TATE, her mother, always referred to George Stephenson as cousin George, but this fact remains unverified.
