James Larkam born c1826

[Sylvia C]

so, according to that will extract ..........

Bartlett Bennett was the "natural son" of Fanny Bennett (deceased), niece of Ann (Bennett) Terrill, and was to have any moneys left in Trust after the Death of William and Ann's eldest son William Feltham Terrill.


It is fair to assume after that finding, that Bartlett's schooling was paid for by the Trustees of William Terrill's will or on his orders.


William Feltham Terrill married Sarah Flower, June quarter 1857 (from Freebmd)

William Feltham Terrill was buried 26 August 1891, age 58, Coombe Bissett



So we now have the explanation of how Bartlett was able to be sent to such a good school

................. and NO relation to Sir William Burnett. That was all a false trail.

I really must sleep, this tree has a lot of records that tie in....and apparently David Feltham got married in Dunstable

William Harbone Terrill and Ann Bennett signed a Marriage Bond in Sarum (Salisbury) on 25 Jan 1832, but FMP only has the transcript not the image

https://www.findmypast.com.au/transcript?id=GBPRS/M/98050560/3

how sad ..............

Googling to try to find the marriage bond, I discovered a reference that said Salisbury had a big Cholera epidemic during July and August 1849, when over 200 people died. 31 people died on Castle Street

https://www.wiltshire-opc.org.uk/Items/Salisbury/Salisbury%20-%20Cholera%20Epidemic%201849.pdf

The reference then provides a list of ALL the people who died in Salisbury during those 2 months taken from GRO, noting that not all of them died of cholera. William Harbone Terrill is on that list.

Wow the plot really thickens on this one
Looks like Ann and William both died and left 6 children. Loads of records and this will

states that Ann is the niece of David Feltham late wife

And Bartlett Bennett is in it too....yay - small extract here - goes over 6 pages and lots are mentioned

the will


1860_1861 Will of David FELTHAM.pdf

that is said, Ann and Fanny dies really close together too, the whole family met with tragedy.

sorry missed this

[Katarzyna]

Well done everyone.
It appears that Bartlett despite being illegitimate was well loved and cared for by his family - that's really good to know. That didn't happen to many, certainly not to one of mine.

[karen michelle]

sorry just amended my post 50 - you can see the will with Bartlett in it!

yes i can thank you

I am so pleased we as a family continued to use the "Bartlet"t family name down though the generations.....my grandfather Edward Bartlett Taylor, my father * and now my 6 year old nephew *

[karen michelle]

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR ALL YOUR AMAZING RESEARCH, ITS BEEN A WONDERFUL FEW DAYS WATCHING THE STORY UNFOLD OF HOW BARTLETT BENNETT AN ORPHAN WAS ABLE TO HAVE SUCH A PRIVILEGED LIFE AND GO TO COLLEGE AND THEN GO ONTO HAVING A FARM.

One more question if i may to you all.....

Can any one tell me on the 1881 census I have Bartlett Bennett (36) & his wife Letitia (41) and a family of 7 children, occupation Proprietor of Steam Thrashing Machine, registration district Andover

Is there an address of the farm?? i would have liked to find out more about this farm if i can.

[karen michelle]

the will


[ATTACH=CONFIG]20006[/ATTACH]

It didnt have Larkam or Dixon mention in the Will, but Bartlett did get all the Silver and silver plate left to him by the late David Feltham.

[cbcarolyn]

no address, the following census he is at manor farm, so it could be the same? and a farm bailliff

[Chrissie Smiff]

I think he moved around.
In 1871 he is a farmer living at Red House - Civil Parish Chute Forest - Reg district Hurstbourne Tarrant - Andover
In 1881 he lives at just number 34 in the hamlet of Charlton - Parish of Andover - and owns a Steam Thrashing Machine. There are about 3 farms listed for that area, so he may have worked on all of them.
In 1891 as Carolyn says in Parish of Tangley - Sub district Hurstbourne Tarrant
In 1901 he is living at 44 (Dowley Pelts?) Tangley - and is an engine driver on a farm but it doesn't say which.
In 1911 he is living at Cott Street Farm - Swanmore - Bishops Waltham and is an engine driver on a farm.
Died 1913 Droxford Hampshire.
