General Notes: Husband - Price Builth Manners Wood


8th Hussars, of Worcester. According to The Bell's New Weekly Messenger of September 24, 1843, he became an Ensign "by purchase" on September 22, 1843. According to Hart's Army List for 1851, page 259, in that year he was in South Africa in the Cape Mounted Riflemen. He reached the rank of Lieutenant on 24 September 1845 and the rank of Captain on 22 February 1850. His estate administration listed him as of Wyke House, Isleworth, Middlesex. According to the UK Regimental Registers of Service 1756-1900, he obtained the rank of Lieutenant "by purchase" and at that time, 1845, he was transferred to th 8th (The King's Royal Irish) Light Dragoons regiment. This was an English based regiment. According to this source he started as Ensign in the 73rd Foot Soldiers.

It is likely that his transfer to the Cape Mounted Riflemen came with his promotion to Captain in 1850. One officer in the Cape Mounted Riflemen, (which, at the time consisted of about 900 officers and men) describe it as follows:

"The anomalous position of the Cape Mounted Riflemen as a cavalry regiment, to all intents and purposes, though it was only endowed with infantry rank and pay, marked it out as essentially different from any other corps in Her Majesty's service, whilst its mixed Coloured and European elements, eminently fitting for it for performing with advantage the skirmishing tactics as useful in savage warfare, carried it still further out of the usual category." Lucas, "Sport and War", 1975, p. v.

The troops wore practical green uniforms and were used mostly for scouting and skirmishing. Price's transfer to this unit coincided with the 8th Frontier War. On December 24, 1850 a detachment of Cape Mounted Riflemen and other units was ambushed by the Xhosa starting this war, which continued until 1853. According to his obituary, Price retired at the end of 1851, which would coincide with his marriage. As his child was born in England it would appear he returned to England at the end of 1851 or the beginning of 1852. I have no further information of what engagements he might have participated in during this brutal war. For more on the war, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eighth_Xhosa_War

Birth announcement in The Morning Post for June 18, 1855, page 8.


General Notes: Child - William Manners Wood


1891 census lists him in parish Church Lawford rectory in Warwikshire. He lists Warwickshire as his place of birth. 1881 census lists Kempton, Worcester as place of birth. His residence is listed as Mill House in Chartham. Littleton is near Shepperton in Middlesex. According to the January 27, 1893 edition of the Coventry Herald, West Midlands, it was about that time that William received the appointment as Rector of St Mary Magdalene in Littleton. According to the Whistable Times and Herne Bay Herald for Saturday April 20, 1889 it was about that time that he left as Reverand for the Parish of Faversham to become Rector for the Church in Lawford. According to the Morning Advertiser for Friday February 13, 1857, page 8, he was born "at the Firs" near Worcester on Monday February 9, 1857 and his father was a "Captain". He was Rector of St Mary Magdalene in Littleton from 1893 until his death in 1933 (see photo of rectory). He is buried in the cemetery of this church, Grave C45, an ornamental cross in double kerb. Front: "In beloved memory of William Manners Wood M.A. Rector of Littleton 1893-1933 born 9 Feb. 1857 - died 20 June 1933 'Arise, shine: for thy light is gone' Isaiah LX.V.1 Also Gwenellen his wife born 16 July 1890 - died 15th March 1970." On the South side: "Basil Mountray Priest son-in-law of William Manners Wood fell asleep 7 August 1933 buried at Lewes 'They were lovely & pleasant in their lives'". The church has a stained glass window in his memory . He was appointed rector by his cousin Thomas Wood.

Rector who is an organ builder” by George A. Wade in Home Words for Heart and Hearth, vol. xlv (1915), pg. 284, reports “The Rev. W. M. Wood, Rector of Littleton Church, near Shepperton, Middlesex, is known far and wide not only as an energetic parish clergyman, but as a musician greatly above the average. The Rector has always been very musical in his tastes, and has, with his organist, made the monthly Sunday organ-recitals in the beautiful little country church at Littleton most successful, and helped in training a very efficient choir. But, though his parishioners know that the rector is a clever exponent of organ music when himself seated at the instrument, not all of them are aware that the rector is one of the finest amateur organ­ builders in the kingdom. The splendid organ at Littleton is certainly unique among instruments in our country churches, in that it cost well over £1,200 to erect, was chiefly designed by the Rector, and was also partly built by him. It possesses several notable features invented by the rector, and since copied by famous builders into other organs. Not least of the novelties is what is known as "the celestial organ," an arrangement that gives very lovely and soft effects, making the music appear to come from a distance - a useful accomplishment in such a small edifice, where otherwise the sound of the organ might almost drown the singing of the people.”

General Notes: Husband - John Jarman


His will states that he is a tobacco pipe maker residing in London. His marriage record at St Botolph, Bishopsgate, says he is from the parish and he was baptized at St Botolph. According to "London Clay Tobacco Pipes" by David Atkinson and Adrian Oswald, Jarman's clay pipe business on Half Moon Street in Bishopsgate catered to the less afluent smokers outside the center of London. I have attached a drawing of his pipe design as of 1805.


General Notes: Wife - Mary Jeffery


Her marriage record at St Botolph in Bishopsgate says that she is from the parish. Her burial record gives her age, from which her birth year is derived. The burial record is definitely the correct person since it mentions that she is from Half Moon St.
