ROBSON's Commercial Directory of 1839 gives 2 Jason WITHERS, one at Whitchurch baker, grocer and fallow chandler, the other at Overton grocer and draper. Wesleyan lay preacher -MF. MF has his d cert.: gentleman, d of obstruction of liver. His son (10) William Bramwell WITHERS wrote of him: 'My father knew the whole gamut of farm life for his apprenticeship began before the French Revolution. He believed in God and God's earth, and loved his vocation. He was not one of the moderns and still used the old speech sometimes. "Well, REYNOLDS, what bist thee gwine to have this week?" he would say as one of the threshers, for instance, would come to the pay table where in smock coat and hat in hand, the labourer awaited his wage.' The farm was rented by the WITHERS from the Earls of Portsmouth 'for hundreds of years', or so at any rate the writer believed. ['A Pilgrim Pioneer', Ballarat Star, Sept.-Dec. 1903.] ex MF. His will ex MF from the Family Record Centre [Ref. Prob. 11/2072, fol.189], indexed on p.148 of the l-z vol. of 1848, Prob. 12/263): 'I Jason WITHERS of Whitchurch in the County of Southampton Gentleman do hereby declare this to be my last Will and Testament. I give and bequeath to my youngest son William Bramwell [38422 4(10)] all that my dwellinghouse Shop Bakehouse Warehouse together with all other appurtenances ways and all rights of ways thereunto belonging situate in Duck Street in the aforesaid parish of Whitchurch and which ... are now in the occupation of my eldest son Jason Also I do hereby nominate and constitute Mr. William HENDY Cordwainer and Mr. Henry WITHERS of the aforesaid parish of Whitchurch ... Surveyor Executors for the due execution of this my last Will and Testament ... signed ... this 27th day of May in the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and forty seven. The mark X of Jason WITHERS Signed in the presence of George WEAVEN. James BARFOOT'. James BARFOOT ,baker, of Whitchurch swore to the authenticity of the will before William Mason DUDLEY, Commissioner in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, on 1 March 1848, probate was granted on 9 March. Several things about this will are noteworthy. As Jason laid claim to the title 'Gentleman' - which is itself slightly surprising, in view of the social level suggested by his bequests and associates - it is hardly conceivable that he was unable to sign his name. The cross therefore suggests that on 27 May he was too weak to write; this is compatible with his death four days later. The cordwainer William HENDY was presumably one of Jason's in-laws, perhaps his late wife's brother. The other executor could have been Jason's son Henry, which as he was not a beneficiary of the will would have been allowable, though in that case one might have expected the relationship to be mentioned; moreover Henry was a farmer, not a surveyor, as far as I know, and presumably by this time farming in Longparish. Probably the executor is another member of the family, perhaps Jason's brother, and Jason named one of his sons Henry after him. But most interesting of all is the bequest to his youngest son of property currently occupied by his eldest. According to the Australian Dictionary of Biography William Bramwell 'with a legacy of 300 in 1846 bought 300 acres of land in Natal, South Africa, and went there in 1849', Did he sell up the property left him by his father in order to make this purchase? If so, the Dictionary must have the date of the legacy slightly wrong, which is not impossible; this would do away with the need to explain why he waited 3 years between making the purchase and emigrating. And why was Jason to be deprived? Nothing is left to anyone but William Bramwell; and though in Henry's case that might be because the farm had already been passed on to him, it seems strange that the eldest son is merely to be deprived of property, without comment. Perhaps Jason the younger - by now in his forties - had an adequate living from some other source, and had merely been looking after the Whitchurch property for his father. It is strange, too, that this will is such a last-minute affair; no mention is made of previous wills but surely Jason cannot have waited till he was on his deathbed before he began to think of settling his affairs. Perhaps the opportunity to make the Natal purchase had recently cropped up, and this will is a father's attempt to provide for the only son who had still to make his way in the world (William Bramwell was 23 when his father died). -MF His will is available at http://www.documentsonline.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ Will of Jason WITHERS, Gentleman of Whitchurch,Hamps 09 March 1848 PROB 11/2072 m1 19.3.1804 Enborne, Berks sp-Eleanor "Nellie" WISE (1776 Ashbury,Berks. -26.11.1808) 3 children.

MF below: Major; spent a good deal of time in the near east. Married but childless; a widower when I knew him, which was when he was retired and living at Murcot (a hamlet on Otmoor, near Oxford). He had a delightful house made from several cottages knocked together, furnished with souvenirs of his army and overseas days. He and Lydia were at my wedding. None of these three siblings had offspring. He is still remembered today (A.D.2000) at Murcot for his good works in the neighbourhood; he did a lot for deprived lads in the way of providing training and opportunities. He was also a J.P. When I knew him in the 1950s and 1960s he lived on Otmoor, Oxfordshire. With his sister Thelma he attended my wedding in Oxford in 1960; I have a very good photograph of them arriving at the church. PMD: My brother Jim and I (Paul) were family guests at Murcot House for two or three summers in the fifties when we (I suspect) were being used as 'role' models (god help them!!) for his groups of underpriveleged boys. My mother (Molly DOWLING nee NEALE, Betty SHANNON, Jill's mum's sister) and her mother Agnes Ellen were really quite close to Bram (and Thelma) and I have lots of fond memories of him and the times spent in his extraordinary home. I recall one of his cars had, completely by chance, the registration plate OBW 80 which he told us stood for Old Bloody Withers nearly eighty but our mother was told Old Bramwell Withers nearly eighty - no wonder we loved him! He smoked an extraordinary tobacco mix which gave the house it's exotic aroma and encouraged us to try the stuff (I was 8) which we did before turning green and throwing up. The place was a warren of many low, rooms and winding, stair ways with floors and walls coovered with spears, swords, shields, Indian and African drums, elephant tusks and exotic pieces of furniture, just a wonderful treasure store in which stories were told of the exploits associated with the exhibits. He had a great friend too, a Professor John C?? (I'll try and get the name)who sat with him in the vast leather armchairs with us all around and they were a great double act - the Prof among other things spoke Cumbrian, a dialect now gone, (he was taught by his nanny) and Bram said he was the last man alive to know the language.Brian brianfrancoise"att"hewitt722.fsnet.co.uk 23.7.08 writes that he is researching his life.

MF has a photo of the couple & children. "She died before I was born. We lived in the north of England, during the war our only holiday was always a summer visit to my grandparents in Andover, where an endless succession of relations always seemed to be coming and going, so that I grew up with an awareness of the family as an immense web of which we were an integral part, however seldom we saw our relations. I was passionately interested in history, ... in pursuit of parish registers [church registers were kept in the churches in those days] I cycled out to Longparish when I was about twelve, where I met a descendant of the KENT family [see m1 of Henry Hulcup WITHERS, 38422 49] who gave me various bits of information about both families. Many years later, when my grandmother was in her eighties, I gave her a blank hard-backed exercise book with a request that she would write me an account of her early life, which she did. I wish I had thought of it sooner, because it was only six months or so before she died, and apparently she enjoyed doing it as much as I now enjoy having it: she covered about 60-70 pages. ... Another puzzle concerns the Longparish farm. What I remember about my inspection of the registers is that I found several WITHERS in Longparish in the C17th [I think in the first part of the century] but could not find my great-grandmother or her siblings; the old lady that I met there explained to me that the WITHERS were 'all Wesleyans' and therefore did not have children baptised in the parish church. This tallied with information sent me some years ago by my cousin Jill STRANG who has found an article written by William Bramwell [38422 4(10)] for a Ballarat newspaper: in it he speaks of his family having farmed Southside Farm 'for hundreds of years'. It is odd he should have thought that if his father was actually the first in the family to live there. And who were the C17th WITHERS? The relevant records will now be in Winchester ..." 38422 4951 9--Agnes Ellen "Nellie" NEALE (1880-1973)She is the woman on the R.

[MF Could this be 'Whitchurch' eg 'W'ch'?] ... 'with a legacy of 300 in 1846 bought 300 acres of land in Natal, South Africa, and went there in 1849'. He arrived Port Phillip November 1852; writer, historian, artist. "Prior to leaving England he advocated vegetarianism in the Health Advocate & suggested the holding of the Vegetarian Conference, whose 1st sitting, however, took place after he had left the country. In 1849 he went to Natal, & there contributed to the Natal Witness & the Natal Standard. In November 1952 he landed in Victoria, & proceeded at once to Ballarat, but returned to Melbourne where he was variously employed (being inter alia a reporter on the Argus) until June 1885, when he went again to Ballarat, & has resided there ever since. Mr WITHERS has made his mark in the literary world of Australia, not only as a newspaperman, but also as an appreciated writer .." - from "The Metropolitan District: its Residents" p 507. Became co-proprietor of the Ballarat Star; he wrote two novels. His "History of Ballarat" [near Melbourne] was first published in weekly installments in The Ballarat Star in 1870. In 1887 a revised edition was published by F.W. NIVEN in Ballarat. The Australian Dictionary of Biography has nearly two columns on his life. He returned on a visit to England in 1903 and wrote an account of his trip, which included visiting 38422 497 Agnes & George NEALE at Charlton with their family. MF has a note saying he sent articles about this trip to the Andover Advertiser. JS has written on his life & has a lithograph portrait of him, probably from one of his books. He never married; family memory has it that either he emigrated because the girl he wanted to marry died, or she was going to follow him abroad after he had had a couple of years to establish himself, but she died in the meantime. He visited a grave at Tufton on his return visit in 1903, and his History of Ballarat was dedicated to `L.N. the fragrance of whose memory time can never change.' However, in his later years he was living in Ballarat with a Mrs. Mary Ann DUSATOY, to whom he left his estate after a move to Sydney in 1901.

"Every 2 or 3 days we'd hear footsteps, someone opening and closing the front door. One night when Clem had gone out Iheard the front door open & close. I thought Clem had come home. Then the lounge door flew open with such force it hit the coffee table into the wall with a loud bang. There were no doors or windows open and no breeze. I went out with a poker but noone was there. Apart from that time it felt like a friendly presence. A few years later we looked for the grave of William George without luck. I wrote to the cemetery superintendent and got back the grave number. And here was the address where William George had died: 8 Fife Rd, Kingston - our old address! That was our ghost! I asked the people who'd moved in - but they never experienced the ghost. William George probably managed the wine shop below the house. His daughter Charlotte probably managed a wine shop in Surrey also in the Louibons chain, later bought by Wineways then Allied Lyons." m 3.1.1867 Brunswick Chapel, Milton St, Marylebone, Middlesex sp-Mary Eleanor WOOLGAR (26.3.1840 Paddington-13/8.2.1907; buried 13.2.1907 at Wilesden Lane Cemetery,Marylebone?; grave 12283/1.0) Born at 41 Princes St,Marylebone. 7 children.

"Is this the cottage where Jason WITHERS lived?" - a photo and article from the East Hampshire Post via Marlene.
"Jason rediscovered - down Memory Lane" is another photo & article on Jason from the East Hampshire Post, this one dated 9.6.1982.
Marlene recalls: "My one cousin took a trip to England in 2006. She went to visit Clanfield, where Jason was born. While there she was looking for the house that Jason lived in and dropped into a nearby restuarant. She inquired as to if anyone still remembered Jason WITHERS. A gentleman took her to a house there and spoke to a woman that is the oldest person in the town. Lo and behold, this woman remembers Jason as he use to visit her mother when he came into town to entertain. The lady pulled a manilla envelope that her Mother must have kept and there were the original newspaper clippings. What a find! She also had on her wall a picture of Jason's cottage where he was born, with her as a child playing outside with other children. I guess when Jason retired he was an entertainer and travelled around."The cottage in Clanfield where Jason was born. That house has been torn down now and is a restaurant.

Farmer, yeoman, built the Cross House (see photo showing the 1562 Celtic cross still standing) in Eastbury near Lambourn; its 1st deed is 1789. It bricks are blue-glazed -from the bottom of the kiln - and end on. Its plaques reads "VR 1897 The lamps in Eastbury were erected by public subscription to commemorate the diamond jubilee of HMG Queen Victoria" and "The seat in the churchyard was bought by the villagers of Eastbury to commemmorate the silver jubilee of QE2 1977." Roger PEARCE roger"att"eastbury.co.uk 2005 has an Eastbury site at www.eastbury.org Enter "Cross House" there for a number of photos & "Eastbury A Berkshire Village". On p7 of this one reads of the machine breakers reaching Eastbury 23.11.1830, 1st breaking machines of Charles SPANSWICK. In the afternoon they went to the farm of Jason WITHERS who told them his machine had already been broken. They demanded & got 2 sovereigns from him. Charles SPEARMAN, called up to help special constable Henry SPANSWICK, was attacked by the mov. Later 10 were convicted & the leader sent to Oz. p71: Enclosure map of 1776 shows the Plough (built c1750) owned by Edward QUELCH victualler & Inn-holder. He was then c38. His 1st child was b Eastbury 1761 so he may have been the Plough's 1st landlord. When he died 1801 it passed to his dr Mary, wife of Jason WITHERS - a "malster". When Jason died 1824 his 1820 will identifies the landlord as Wm MILDENHALL. p72 gives a photo of the 2007 staff - the family of Dennis WHITE, in 2001. See also 5.3 p93 on the Cross House (photo p94) - his grandson Edward WITHERS son of Edward owned the Cross House 1880 jointly with his mother Jemima before he left for NZ in 1884. A photo of Jason's blacksmith's cottage is in WITHERS Reunion Newsletter (WRN)4 p5 (1986). He rented(?) Bailey Hill Farm in 1811 from the Earl of Craven. The owner c1990 Mrs GEARY says it was built as a Hunting Lodge for King Charles 1. Some of the WITHERS children's initials EW [-1] & JW [-4] & so on are cut in the garden wall. The house has a priesthole for hiding Catholic? priests. Jason's name is inscribed on one of Lambourn's church bells for which he paid half. Referring to the Cross "At the Prayer Cross of St Antoling opposite the church itinerant preachers, trade union agents and anyone with a speech to deliver.. In the 19th century it was a lively centre for heckling and demonstrations. In the 16th century religious processions took place from this Prayer Cross to the Wodebury Cross at Shefford Woodlands. Street lighting came to Eastbury as early as 1897 and a plaque on one of the houses proudly announces this benefit to the old village." - from p56 of "The old Berkshire villagebook" by Berkshire Fedn of Womens Institutes, Countryside Books Newbury 2nd edition 1979.

3. SOME LINKS ON THE WEB: 3.1 GENEALOGY
Particularly useful are entries under "Ancestral File" since clicking on "Pedigree" allows one to scroll through the family. (One can refine the search using the red box on RHS, eg to Southwest Pacific. The bottom entry in the red box, Pedigree Resource File, links to whole family trees.)

g. TO DO See 3.1: I HAVE NOT YET HAD TIME TO CHECK THESE BATCH NUMBERS OUT! Check the PCC Berkshire Will and Admon abstracts held at the LONDON SOCIETY OF GENEOLOGISTS [ www.sog.org.uk library"att"sog.org.uk ] for your WITHERS (it is a major job!) but to date I have found one SPANSWICK reference (I think its called the Snell Index). They are bound in volumes (book form) in the Berks section of the Society of Genealogists all benificiaries, witnesses etc are listed for any will (or as many as could be found) relating to Berkshire. They are unindexed apart from by date - so take a lot of ploughing through - several visits ! The early wills appear to be detailed transcripts and later just abstracts... This series of books are all the originals all hand written (and on open access)- RH
