A few thoughts on my process and what remains outstanding. 

As I continue to get e-mails from people interested in Hubberstey history I get the chance to go over the work I have done and sometimes find new clues, or updated information that helps fill in more pieces of the jigsaw puzzle (and yes, there are still outstanding issues).

To summarise, I went through all the census records starting from 1841 and going forward to the latest one, 1911. I then mapped out all the Hubbersteys and made connections between the different census reports. I also worked from very old records of births and deaths and baptisms (1700's - early 1800's). When I put the two together I was able to find where older lines had carried forward to the present.

I identified two different lines. The Hubberstey/Culcheth line went back to the late 1600's and the Hubberstey/Bamber line to the late 1700's.  Of course I would love to know if these two lines are connected. If so, then all Hubbersteys can trace back to Robert Hubberstey and Mary Culcheth. If not, then there may be another joining up point, but probably further back.

Here is the big missing piece of the jigsaw puzzle. Robert and Mary had 6 children, three boys and three girls. Two of the boys we have records for (William and John) and one we do not, James. Also in the period 1730-1820 (pre-census) we have quite a few Hubbersteys that I can not trace living in the Preston/Samlesbury area. To make things even more difficult many are named James, John, Robert and William. The main question is "do these Hubbersteys connect to Mary and Robert, or do they come from different Hubberstey families, likely from the Wyresdale area near Garstang?" Of course the last possibility is that they could be descendants of a brother(s) of Robert (who we suspect came from the Wryesdale area).

That then is the biggest outstanding question. I have lots of Hubbersteys in the 1730-1820 period, but the records are incomplete and there is no apparent way to trace them from generation to generation. So ... I am looking at a few other possible ways of mapping them out, plus as more old records are put in line I may get some more help.

The most interesting piece so far comes from a question someone had about a John Hubberstey and Elizabeth Horn that lived in the Preston area around 1800.  John's first son was named James (born 1784), and his second son was named John. Based on what I have seen with other Hubberstey families, this makes it quite likely that John's father was named James (families seem to name their first born son after its grandfather, or sometimes after its father). If so this would make him a likely candidate to be the son of out heretofore untraceable James Hubberstey son of Robert and Mary. To addd an interesting element the third male child was named Robert (possibly after Robert and Mary???).  The first female child is listed as Maiam (Mary???), which if naming conventions were followed might be John's mother's name.


I guess my next step is to lay out all the Hubbersteys I can find from the area ... need more floor space.

Canadian Connections

I originally thought that I had figured out all of the Hubberstey connections to Canada, but I recently found out that there were in fact more connections than I had thought (thanks Dave). While these did not lead to more current Hubbersteys in Canada they do seem to show possible links between lines "way back then".

We start with Thomas Hubberstey who married Barbara Hawksworth in 1801. Thomas was a son of Robert Hubberstey and Mary Watson (so the Hubberstey/Culcheth line). Two of Thomas and Barbara's sons were Thomas (b. 1808) and John (b.1811).

Case 1:
Thomas married Ann Postlewhite (spelling varies). Their third son was Robert (b.1842) who married Elizabeth Kershaw. They had 5 children including a son Thomas William (b. 1872) who married Margaret Berry in 1896. Their son John Robert (b.1899) married Dorthy Pemberton in 1922. They lived in Bolton and had two children, Bryan and Dorothy. Bryan became an architect and in 1957 married Marguerite Hafner from a small village in Switzerland. Early in 1958 they moved to Montreal, Canada where they had three children.

Case 2:
Thomas and Ann (see above) also had a son Thomas (b.1840) who married Julia Rabbitt from Ireland in 1866. They had 5 children including daughters Catherine (b.1870) and Rose (b.1880). It appears that both of these daughters emigrated to Toronto Canada in 1923. Their landing documents are reproduced below.

There is also a voter list record for a C. Hubberstey in 1940 in Toronto.


Case 3:
John married Mary Bradley in 1838 and one of their sons, Robert (b.1852), married Margaret Ann Wilson in 1877.  They also had a son Robert who moved to Fernie, BC (Canada) and married Christina Dinsdale in 1909. They had two sons and a daughter.

Case 4:
From the John Hubberstey/Alice Bamber line we start with son James (b.1829) who married Ellen Dolphin and had a son John (b.1853) who married Mary Banks. Among their children were a daughter Elizabeth Ellen (b. 1875) who married a George Naylor, and a son John (b.1890).   From the document below we see that John moved to Montreal, Canada  in 1920, listing his sister as his relative in the UK. For his address in Canada he listed a W.H. Pendley of 47 Palm Street, Montreal.

From John in the UK we now know that John lived in Montreal until his death around 1972. His sister Alice (b.1885) also moved to Canada. (For photos of John please see the John Hubberstey/Alice Bamber page). There is a voter list record for a Jack Hubberstey (1940) , a Constable, living at 721 Notre Dame West in Montreal. There is another record in 1957, this time with Jack living at 932 Rue Laporte, and listed as Ordonnance.

James Hubberstey and Ellen Dolphin also had a son William (b. 1857) who married Ann Shuttleworth. Among their children was a daughter Theresa (b. 1883). Theresa married a William Walmsley in 1906. We don't know when she moved to Canada but we do know of the birth of a child William Gerard Walmsley around 1908 in Wentworth (Hamilton), Ontario.

So for this case we have 2 cousins moving to Canada at slightly different times. The birth in Hamilton is interesting because in the early 1920's there was another Hubberstey connection that passed through there on their way to Florida as well as one more connection from a John Hubberstey that lived in the US but in WW1 spent some time in Hamilton.


Case 5:
This case is also from the Hubberstey/Culcheth line and starts with James Hubberstey, son of Robert Hubberstey and Mary Watson. James married Anne Swarbrick and they had a son Robert (b.1820). Robert married Ann Barton. They had seven children including a son James (b.1848). James married twice and had a daughter Susannah (b.1877) by his second wife, Ann Copple.  Susannah appears to have moved to Ontario, Canada and married Ralph Thomas Webster.

Case 6:

Canadian government records show a Catherine Hubberstey immigrating to Canada in 1927 at the age of 59. Based on the age it appears that this may be the same Catherine as in case 2 above, though why one would immigrate twice is an interesting question.

Case 7:
The final case is quite sketchy and involves a Henry Hubberstey leaving Canada (from Winnipeg) for the US in 1906.  Henry was a cousin of Richard Hubberstey (married Jane Connor) who we see in the USA section.

Links to the USA

In this post we will try to see where the "USA" Hubbersteys came from. We actually have at least 4 distinct cases to look at. For now I am leaving this post pretty much as it was on the old blog as it has been rewritten a couple of times already.








Case #1:

The first case begins with an entry here with the arrival of John Hubberstey on the SS Caronia Liverpool, England via Queenstown, Ireland to New York, NY, 30 October 1910
Hubberstey, John 25y; male; single; Machinist (about this
is written: 16-2838);can read/write; Cit: England;
English race; Last Perm. Residence: England,Blackpool;
Relative from Whence Came: Mother, Kate Hubberstey,
4 Leeds Rd, Blackpool; Final Dest: Pa-Philadelphia; no
ticket; pd by self; $50; in US before-no; Joining:
Sister Mary Felix, The Convent, Philadelphia, Pa; in
prison-no; polygamist-no; anarchist-no; promise of
labor-no;health-good; deformed/crippled-no; 5'6-1/2" tall;
fresh complex;fair hair, grey eyes; no marks; Born,
England, Blackburn.
 
Looking backwards into John's past:
From the 1901 census we have a John and Kate Hubberstey residing in Blackpool, with a son John Joseph (pictured left), then aged 15 (so 25 by 1910). John Joseph had 5 other siblings. His father John was a confectionery shop keeper and his mother a baker. His oldest brother Robert was a beer traveller (I'm not sure what that entailed, but it sounds good to me).

John Joseph's father, John, had married a Catherine Lunt in 1876. In the 1881 census he was listed as a master ironmonger, having come from Clitheroe, though by then residing in Blackburn.

John was the son of Ann Barton and Robert Hubberstey. They married in 1846 and had at least 3 children (James, John, and Catherine). Robert (b. Oct 17, 1820?) appears to have been the son of Anne Swarbrick and James Hubberstey. (James was a son of Robert and Mary Watson)


Looking forward:
From the quote above we can see that John was heading for Philadelphia. We know from US Social Security records that he died November 1970 in Gasconade, Missouri.

The Missouri marriage records show John J. Hubberstey marrying Bertha F. Link (b. Oct 1, 1889). Bertha was his first wife which ties in with his being listed as a Canadian soldier in WWI, with a wife Bertha. In fact, John served with the Canadian Cavalry in WW1 (see attestation paper - here), and was at some point stationed in Hamilton, Ontario. There is a death notice for a Bertha Hubberstey (nee Calvert) in St. Louis for November 19, 1918. There is also a copy of the death certificate for a Dollie Hubberstey who died from typhoid fever. So it looks like Bertha went by the name Dollie. But in the same cemetery there is also the listing for a Serina Hubberstey (aged 6) who died just one month after Dollie. So it appears that John J. Hubberstey and Dollie had had a daughter Serina, who one must suspect may also have died of typhoid fever. (link here)

It looks like John was living in St. Louis at the time of the 1920 census where he is listed as widowed and being a clerk in a hotel. Interestingly he lists his birthplace as Canada and his parents as Canadian. Not sure why he would have done that.

Subsequently John Joseph married Pearl (b. March 11, 1897, d. April 21, 1992), a Swiss American, and the 1930 US census shows a John J. Hubberstey, with spouse "Pearl C." , living in Payne, Sedgwick, Kansas. There is a picture of the gravestone for John J. and Pearl here.

John Joseph lived variously in Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma. At some point he owned a ranch with horses at Marland, Oklahoma, the love of horses having continued from his time in the cavalry. He also was for a time in the oil business.

It is interesting that my Dad and my grandfather heard stories from the family about a Hubberstey who had gone to America and done well, even having a ranch with horses where you could ride all day!



Case #2:
This case took a bit longer to track down, but I think we now have a more complete story.
We will use as our starting point the California Death record of James Hubberstey born Feb 12, 1874 in England who died in L.A. on January 8th, 1944 at the age of 69. The listing shows that his mother's maiden name was "Dolphin". This allows us to identify him as the son of James Hubberstey and Ellen Dolphin ( See John Hubberstey and Alice Bamber for the family story - see James at the bottom of the page)

The same death records show
  • a Thomas Hubberstey, born March 18, 1903, died January 27, 1965 (aged 69), with a mother's maiden name of "Webster".
  • a James G. Hubberstey, born Sept 9, 1927 in Washington, died March 6, 1974 (aged 46) in Solana, CA.
  • a William Hubberstey born May 29th, 1938 in Texas and died Sept 8, 1982 (aged 44) in Solano, CA
  • a Vinette Josephine Hubberstey born May 29th, 1908 in Texas, died Oct 6, 1955 (aged 47) also in Solano
We know from an ancestry.co.uk posting that James had married an Elizabeth Webster. At the time of the 1901 census they were listed as "Hubberster", which of course is not even a standard variant. Anyway at the time of the census Elizabeth and James were living with Elizabeth's brother (John Webster) and his family in Preston. There were no children listed even though there had been two children born just previous (John b. 1899 and Elizabeth Ellen b.1900)


Thomas Hubberstey was born in England 3-18-1903. Later we have James Hubberstey and Thomas listed in the 1920 US census as living in King, Washington. James is listed as a widower and as a machinist in a shipyard.

We also have from an Ancestry.co.uk post
James G. Hubberstey was born in the US in 1929. His father was Thomas and was born in England in 1903. Thomas' dad was James I. Hubberstey and mom was Mary Webster both born in England . Grandfather James G. also had a brother, his name was Robert T., and was born in the US in 1929. Their mother's name was Minnie Cooper of Washington State. William was born in1938 but he had a different mother.
So Thomas married first Minnie Cooper and had sons Robert (born Bremerton, WA) and James, then married again to (Vinnette Alden ). There was a son William Alden, who appears to have been adopted. William married Charlene (who died in 1981). Minnie died in Washington state in 1969.

From the Social Security death records we have
James Hubberstey (b. Sept9, 1927, d. March 6, 1974) California
Robert Hubberstey (b. Nov 8, 1929, d. Feb 27, 2003) California (Robert's obituary is here , there is also an obituary for his first wife, Tommie Faye Harbin here). There is a photo of Robert's gravestone (and his wife Genevieve's) HERE.

There are a number of current listings for Hubbersteys in California, so it is likely that they are the descendants of Robert, James and/or William.

The 1930 census lists Thomas G. Hubberstey (27) as a mechanic and his wife Minnie (20) and sons James (2) and Robert (3 months) living in Washington State.\

The 1940 census gives us a bit more information: Thomas G and the family are living at 246 Ventura Street, Pasedena, California. Thomas is listed as having finished 7th grade and working as a Labor Foreman. His income for the year was $605. Minnie was listed as having finished 8th grade, and Thomas's father, James by then 66 was listed as a watchman for a gold mine having income of $210. The children Robert T. (10) and James G (12) were also listed.

Case #3:

Thanks to a head's up from a reader in the US we can also fill in another case of England to America emigration.

From passenger manifests we know that in 1921 a "R. Hubberstey", J. Hubberstey" and "W. Hubberstey" left Liverpool, England for Quebec, Canada. They then crossed at Detroit to move to the USA.

Tracing back was a bit challenging but we knew that W. Hubberstey was Wilfred Hubberstey, son of Richard Hubberstey and Jane (Conner) originally from Scotland. Originally I had not picked up Richard in the 1901 census, but I eventually found him in the 1901 Scottish census under "Hubbershey", living in Glasgow and working as a Reed Maker.

Going back to the files I found that there was a Richard in the 1891 census in Preston, of roughly the same age, also working as a reed maker. This Richard was the son of Elizabeth and Richard mentioned in the post HERE.

There is one more interesting part to this story, with a link to Canada. The WWI Canadian service records show a Charles Conner serving for Canada and listing Jane Hubberstey as next of kin. Charles was Jane's brother (there was a Charles Conner listed as a younger brother of Jane in the 1891 Scottish census). So it looks like Charles may have emigrated to Canada before Jane.

We also know from a comment on the index page of this blog that Wilfred married Veronica McCarthy and had at least one daughter. He also had a brother Charles (d.1961) who had two daughters (Jean and Esther) with his wife Esther Hattie Denner (obituary here). The family had a dairy farm in Florida. Jane died in 1945 and Richard in 1948, both in Florida.


Charles (then 26 and single) is listed on the 1930 census as a boarder living in Duval, Florida

Case #4:

We start with a Florida divorce listing for a William G. Hubbersty and Colleen N. Hubberstey....

It turns out that this instance is related, though distantly, to case 3 above. It looks like William is William Gerald Hubbersty, born May 20th, 1928 in Warrington, Cheshire, England. He looks to have married first a Colleen Wong (from Wisconsin??) and secondly Nella (Bach).
William Gerald Hubbersty and Colleen Wong apparently had one daughter, who took her mother's surname after her mother remarried.

William Gerald Hubbersty was the son of William Patrick Hubbersty and Margaret A. Marsh (married in Warrington September, 1927). William Patrick Hubbersty was the son of Rose Alice Hubberstey, born in
1901, with Rose Alice being unmarried at the time (so she kept the Hubberstey surname). Rose Alice herself was the daughter of Richard Hubberstey and Elizabeth Horn, and was the sister of Richard in case #3.




Update - May 12/08...And one more
...

This one is bit unusual. I don't have access to the journal so for now I can't follow it up...but it does look interesting.

Margaret Hubbersty alias Holland, was the owner of a plantation in Maryland. She was a recusant who, during the Civil War in England, assigned her property to her brother-in-law, a Member of Parliament, to save it from confiscation: see C10/97/55, Hubbersty v. Bell, also C9/27/83. (National Genealogical Society Quarterly Vol. 66, No.3, p.221 (Sept. 1978);




We still have one other Social Security record that need sorting out:

Genevieve (b. March 31, 1916, d. Jan 20, 2000) in California so possibly related to case 2 above. We know that Genevieve was Genieveve Clohe JORDAN and that she was born in Texas and that she married a Hubberstey (Robert or James above???). (But another record shows her born Pendennis, KS). It appears that Genevieve was the wife of Robert Thomas, though that is still to confirm.

John and Isabell (Weaton/Waiton/Eaton) - Thomas and Alice

This is third post on the children of John and Isabell. In this post we follow the family of their son Thomas.


Thomas married Alice Taberner and together they had quite a few children. In the 1841 census they are listed under "Habbarstay", but in the 1851 census they were back to Hubberstey. In the 1851 census they were living at Hill Top, Haighton (the image above labelled  Hill Top Farm which may be where they lived - I may have to go and check it out!) where Thomas was a farmer with 73 acres employing 3 labourers. Thomas is listed as having been born in Broughton and Alice in Preston.

As I mentioned, children were plentiful. In the 1851 census, 12 were listed (John, Henry, Elizabeth, George, Joseph, Robert, James, Isabella, Ann, Thomas, Peter, and Richard). That's as good a reason as any to give this family its own post.

By the 1881 census Alice was a widow and living with Joseph, Robert, Isabella and Ann at Fernhalgh Road, Mitts (Nutts?) Houses, Fulwood. Robert died in 1882, age 44.

By the 1901 census we have Annie and Isabella still living at Nutts Houses, Fulwood, both unmarried. What is quite interesting though is that they are living right next door to James and Ann Hubberstey and their son Robert (at Tan Pit Farm) who we saw in the Samlesbury post. It is Robert (descendant of William Hubberstey and Deborah Whittle) who ends up at Sorbose House later on. Maybe there is some connection here that I can't see yet between these lines of Hubbersteys.

Elizabeth (B.1831): Elizabeth Hubberstey married a Joseph Kitchen in 1855. In the 1861 census Elizabeth and John Kitchen had 3 children (Alice, Mary and Thomas) and an additional son, John Kitchen (age 1) was listed as a grandson at Alice and Thomas' residence.

John (b.1829): John looks to have married Jane Roberts in Blackburn in 1861. In the 1881 census he was listed as a farm laborer at Walley Banks, Little Harwood. There do not appear to have been any children.

George (b.1834): George married Mary Ann Dickson (Dickinson?) (b.1837) from Barley, Lancs. in 1861 (the 1861 census has them living in Preston, and Mary's 11 year old sister living with them). By the 1881 census Mary is a widow with 3 daughters (Elizabeth A, Mary A., and Ellen). In 1901 the census shows Ellen, unmarried, living with her sister Mary A., who had married John Walmsley in 1895.

Joseph: At the 1901 census Joseph was 64 and unmarried.

Thomas (b.1843): Thomas married a Jane Melling Wright in 1874. By the 1901 census he was a widower with two sons, John Joseph (b. 1875) and James Thomas (b.1877). There are death records for both a John Joseph Hubberstey born 1875, died 1912 and a James T. Hubberstey born 1878, died 1912. It looks possible that John Joseph married Florence Brady (although my records also show Bibby). What is interesting bhere is that Florence in 1922 inherited money from her father George Brady, a well know scientist


The late Professor George Stewardson Brady, Parkhurst, Endcliffe Grove avenue, Sheffield, formerly practising in medicine in Sunderland and honorary physician to the Sunderland Royal Infirmary, and for over 30 years professor of natural history at Armstrong College, Newcastle, who dies on 25 December last, aged 89 years, left estate of the gross value of £22,430 3s. 2d., with net personalty £18,971 11. 9d.

Probate of his will dated 23 May last has been granted to his daughter, Miss Emily Brady, of the same address, and Mr. Jonathan Barber, solicitor, 29, Bank Street, Sheffield. The testator left £500 to his daughter Mrs. Alice Atkin, stating that she was otherwise well provide for, and he left the residue of his property as to three-fourths to his daughter Emily Brady, and one fourth to his daughter, Florence Hubbersty or her issue.

Henry (b.1830): At the 1861 census, Henry (then 31) was working as a coachman at Haighton New House for the Anderton household (Landed Proprietors). By the 1881 census he was living at Gerrard Hall Cottage (either part of or next door to Haighton House) with wife Helen (b.1851) and sons Joseph (b.1880) and Henry Francis (b.1876). It looks like Henry married Catherine Hannah Kay in 1874 (possibly died 1877 - as a Mary Frances was also born at that time, and apparently did not survive) and then married Ellen Holiday in 1879. This is supported by the presence of a Mary Kay at the time of the 1881 census.

By the 1901 census only Henry Francis is listed (as a builder's labourer at St Anne on the Sea). The other members are nowhere to be found, however we do find a Henry Hubberstey age 73 that dies in 1902 (close age match). Later on, in 1910 there is a marriage of a Henry Francis to a Ann Kelly in Old Flyde.

Peter (b.1844): Peter is listed in the 1861 census, but that is the last entry I can find.

Robert (b.1837): Robert is listed with his mother in the 1881 census. He died in 1882, age 44.

James (b.1838): James is listed with his mother in the 1881 census. He appears to have died in 1898, age 59.



Richard (b.1846): Richard married Elizabeth Horn in 1868. Their children were Richard William (b.1868), Thomas (b.1870), Rose Alice (b.1873), Ellen Frances (b.1876), Frederick (b. 1881), Edward (b.1883), and Henry (b.1885). Richard was listed as a carpenter living in Preston on the 1881 census. Interestingly it is this family that gives us a number of present day Hubbersteys and all present day Hubberstys

By 1901, Elizabeth was a widow. She lived with Rose Alice (cotton weaver), Henry (errand boy), and Ignoralius (Ignatius?). Ignatius (age 3) is listed as a grandson, and the mother listed on the birth registration is "Hubberstey" implying that he was illegitimate. There was also a 4 year-old Richard Nutall (grandson) living with them likely the son of Ellen Frances who married Thomas Nuttall in 1896.

Ignatius was the son of Rose Alice. She also had another son, William Patrick, before marrying Thomas McCann. Both of these sons took the Hubbersty surname and are the lines for all current day Hubberstys. (more info here)

Son Richard William married Jane Conner from Glasgow, Scotland. They emigrated to the US (Florida) in 1921 with their son Wilfred and had another son Charles. They were actually listed on the Scottish census of 1901 under Hubbershey. It looks like, according to the passenger manifest on their emigration that prior to leaving they lived at 6 chimney Farm, Chimney Farm Road in Cheltenham. There is more about this street and the farm on it here: https://cheltonia.wordpress.com/tag/six-chimney-lane/ . Both Wilfrid and Charles eventually married in the US and had families.

Son Thomas married Sophia Noblett in 1899. Both are listed in the 1901 census, living at the Hampton Inn in Preston, where Sophia was a waitress and Thomas a warehouseman.

Son Frederick married Amy Kenyon and they had four children, Richard (b.1912) , Amy (b.1915), Frederick (b.1918) and Elizabeth (b.1908).

Son Edward married Alice Shepard in 1905 in Doncaster. They had three children, Elsie (b.1908), Henry (b.1906) and Rose Alice (b.1910 d. 1917). There was also a son Edward with a mother surnamed Johnson.

Son Henry married Elizabeth Alice Eastham. They had two children, Kathleen (b.1912) and Reginald Henry (b.1910). Henry is pictured at left circa 1937 (photo courtesy of a reader of this blog).

Links to other lands

Going through the Hubberstey history there are a number of instances of Hubberstey leaving the UK and heading off to foreign lands. For the most part they headed to the USA and Canada, but there were also a few that headed elsewhere.

1. Richard Nathan Hubbersty spent time in India and New Zealand before settling in Cornwall.

2. Robert Hubberstey from the James Hubberstey/Ann Swarbrick line headed to South Africa.

3. Thomas Hubberstey was the son of Robert Hubberstey and Cicely Fazackerly.
Thomas (b. 1822) was at Ampleforth where he was listed as a general professor. On a later census he is described as Professor of Languages. Thomas is believed to be Thomas Cyprian Hubbersty, who died in Melbourne, 1865
 4.  A descendant of Rose Alice Hubbersty moved to New Zealand.

John and Isabell (Weaton/Waiton/Eaton) - Robert and Jane

This post follows the descendants of John Hubberstey and Isabell Weaton/Waiton/Eaton. Obviously there was some confusion over the spelling of Isabell's surname, but it seems quite clear that this was in fact always the same person. As I noted in the previous post our best guess is that John was the son of John and Elizabeth, but we do not have concrete confirmation. Our best support is only circumstantial though we do also have the family tree that shows this relationship as well. 

This line comes out of the North Preston region, an area that includes Fulwood, Woodplumpton, Fernyhalgh, Broughton, Cottam, Haighton Green, Goosnargh, and Whittingham. If you add up all of the Hubbersteys in the 1901 census, a large percentage can trace their line to these areas.

The records show John and Isabell marrying on Oct 24th 1780 and having 7 children.  The children were Robert (b Nov 18, 1787),  Elizabeth (b. Dec 8, 1789), Maria (b.March 29, 1792), William (b. June 26, 1794), Helena (b. Feb 2, 1797),  Isabella (b. July 19, 1799) and  Thomas (May 28, 1803).  Robert, Elizabeth and Maria were christened at St. Mary Newhouse Roman Catholic Church very very close to Woodplumpton (with the mother's surname spelled Waiton). William, Isabella and Thomas were christened at St. Mary's church in Fernyhalgh, literally just down the road from St. Mary's Newhouse (with the mother's surname listed as Weaton) .

I recently found that daughter Isabella likely married a James Bonney, a 28 year old joiner, in 1824. Other than Isabella, I have only been able to trace relationships for Robert and Thomas. Since the descendants of both are numerous I will follow the line for Robert on this post and for Thomas on the next post.

It looks as if Robert first married Elizabeth Trelfall and had a daughter Elizabeth. He the married Jane Trelfall in 1813 (possibly her sister) and had five more children.  Both Robert and Jane appear to have been born around 1787-1788, and both lived well into their 70's. They lived on a farm in Sharoe Green Lane (near what looks to now be a golf course), Broughton (Fulwood?). Robert listed his birthplace as Woodplumpton and Jane as Liverpool (?). Their 6 children were born at Broughton (Thomas, William, Agnes, Edwin, Elizabeth and John).


In the first census records in 1841 Robert has all of the children at home. By the 1851 census the daughters have married and only William and Thomas remain at home. Son John is living next door. So we have:

Elizabeth (b.1811): (Elizabeth's mother is listed as Elizabeth Trelfall, not Jane on the Christening record) Elizabeth married Richard Bradley in 1844 and lived next door to her parents. Her brother John also lived with them. By the 1851 census they had 4 children (Elizabeth, Edward, Jane, and William).

Agnes (b. 1825) : Agnes married Henry Pearson in 1850. By 1901 she was 75, widowed and living with her brother Edwin on Fulwood Row.

Edwin (b. 1827): Edwin (Edvardus) married Ester Gardner. Then in 1893 he married Mary Jane Dobson. They were listed together on the 1901 census, along with his sister Agnes Pearson.

John (b:1819) John does not appear to have married. He lived first with his sister Elizabeth and then with his brother William. He died in 1896 at the age of 77.

Thomas (b. 1832): Thomas married Margaret Kelly, from Ramsey, Isle of Man, in 1865 and lived in West Derby. They do not appear to have had any children. Thomas died in 1893.

William (b. 1817): William married Margaret Hall from Goosnargh in 1859. They had 4 children (Jane, Mary, Robert and William). In the 1861 census they are listed as living at 11 Sharoe Green Lane, living with parents Robert and Jane and their first daughter Jane. They were also living next door to sister Elizabeth and her family (with husband Richard Bradley).

In the 1881 census they were still living at Sharoe Green Lane. William died in 1882 at the age of 65. By 1901, Margaret was living with her children Mary, Jane and William, all apparently unmarried, at The Grange, Broughton.

Son Robert (b.1866) married Catherine Bonsall (b.1866) in 1890. In the 1891 census he was listed as a school teacher in Skipton, Yorkshire. By the 1901 census Catherine is listed as a widow with 4 children (Margaret b.1892, Agnes b.1893, Mary b.1895, and Winifred b. 1898).

 

In 1901 (post census) it appears that William married Jane Moon and that they had at least 5 children - Margaret (b.1902), Ellen (b.1905), Mary (b.1907), John (b.1910) and William (b.1912).  I have not been able to confirm if either of the sons married and had children, but one of the daughters did have a son while unmarried and this son had descendants that still carry the Hubberstey name and so is the second example (the other being Rose Alice) where the Hubberstey name was carried on through the female line.



Miscellaneous tidbits

Here are a couple of links to some of the older posts discussing interesting pieces of Hubberstey/Hubbersty history.
1. The Quaker connection. It turns out that there were a few Hubberstys among the funding Quakers. In fact, two of them were part of the "Valiant 60". A Hubbersty also provided support for the gpoup in London.

2. Hubberstys at Cambridge. Also on the Hubbersty side of the family we have some records of a number of Hubberstys heading off to Cambridge. 

3. Some fun Hubberstey miscellanea

Fallen Yew - London

At various times in the distant past we have had isolated clusters of records of Hubberstys in the London area. By the 1901 census however, these had all but disappeared. We do however have one story that links from Kendal to Cambridge to London and then back up north.

The story starts in the Underbarrow/Fallen Yew area near Kendal with the following tidbit here.
Zachariah and Elizabeth Hubbersty

The Hubberstys were prominent residents of Heversham and Kendal. Zachariah Hubberstey married Agnes Parke in 1685. The Hubbersty family sent several sons to be scholars at the Queens College Oxford who went on to become lawyers and recorders in Cumberland and Westmoreland. Two memorials to the later 18th-century Hubberstys stand in Holy Trinity Church, Kendal
This family also had a habit of naming its male children Zachariah or Robert, and its female children Elizabeth. So if you run across a Zachariah Hubbersty in your research, it is probably from this line. The evidence that I could find this far back has so far been limited, with one rather significant exception: If anyone who reads this happens to be in Kendal one day and has a bit of spare time to visit the archives, file WDX 744 looks interesting, to say the least. I would love to see a copy of the family tree!

Correspondence with his brothers John Hubbersty and Robert Hubbersty 1748-1758; papers relating to Zachary Hubbersty's bankruptcy, 1763; other family papers 1763-1768. Papers relating to Isaac Braithwaite and son Limited, Drysalters of Kendal, and Braithwaite family not dated; transcripts of Hubbersty correspondence and Hubbersty family tree
Without the family tree the best I can do is to surmise that Zachariah and Agnes had at least 2 children, Robert (b. July 9, 1696) and Elizabeth (b. Mar 23, 1686). It appears that Elizabeth is the one who married John Philipson that I mentioned in the previous post on Hubbersty Head.

The location in Underbarrow is also of interest given that the area contains some of the earliest mentions of Hubberstey. Later on we have that Robert Hubbersty contributed to the building of the chapel mentioned below.
Underbarrow hath its name from its situation under the barrow, hill, or scar, which extends from north to south all along in this division. That part which is called Bradley Field received its denomination from a family of the name of Bradley, which came from Bradley in Lancashire. There was an ancient chapel at this place [Underbarrow]. In the year 1708, this chapel was rebuilt at the expence of the inhabitants of Underbarrow only (for Bradley Field is not in the chapelry). "
and the Westmoreland Hearth Tax survey of 1674 noted a Miles Hubaste and a Robert Hubaste in Underbarrow. The spelling may be different, but the sound is quite close to present day pronunciation.

After Zachariah and Agnes Parke, the next mention is of a Robert marrying Anne Knipe. It could very well be that Robert was the son of Zachariah. In any case Robert and Anne look to have had a number of children that are mentioned in Elizabeth's will. (This is not certain as the wording of the will, with three separate lines for nephews and nieces makes one suspect that there was perhaps another Hubbersty family in Underbarrow involved - maybe with Zachary and John being the children of another brother of Elizabeth, other than Robert).
- To nephews Zachary Hubbersty and John Hubbersty £20 each
- To nephew and nieces, Robert, Anne, Margaret, Agnes children of brother Robert Hubbersty, £40 each
- To niece Margaret Maskew, widow £20
From here the line follows a path with Zachary. We know that John married and had 6 children (2 died in infancy) in Sussex, but I have been unable to find any mention of them elsewhere. There are very few mentions of Robert.

Zachary (b. 1726, d. 1780), an attorney in Fallen Yew, married Phyllis Lodge of Barnbard castle, Durham. They had 6 children, one being John Lodge Hubberstey (b. 1760) who we meet again in the Cambridge Post, and another being Zachary (b.1758), whose line is the only one that I have been able to follow. A point of confusion is that there was also another Zachary born in Kendal in 1760, the son of Robert and Elizabeth (perhaps Robert above). Robert and Elizabeth also have a daughter "Anne" (b.1764), lending more credence to the idea of this Robert being Zachary's brother.



The picture to the left is inscribed as follows:

Sacred memory of Zachary Hubbersty  of Great Winchester Street, London, Esquire, who died on the 23rd September 1797, in the 41st years. of his age, leaving a disconsolate widow and six children. Few equalled and none excelled him in professional knowledge, and strict integrity; and of whom the learned and virtuous Lord Eldon in a letter of condolence to the deceased's brother observed, " His loss is not more to be lamented by his family than by the profession, of which he was an ornament, and an honour." Also of Phillis Sarah Hubbersty his second daughter who in the following years. lost her life by falling into the sea from the pier in Whitby harbour. This monument is erected by John Lodge Hubbersty, Esqre. Senior Fellow of Queen's College, Deputy High Steward of the University of Cambridge, and Recorder of Lancaster, who has never ceased to lament the loss of the best of brothers and friends.

This leads us to Zachary's widow and 5 surviving children in London after Zachary's death (last will and testament to the left - click on it to get a bigger version). There is a marriage of a Zachary Hubbersty to an Isabella Curties in 1814 and in 1815 we do have a Robert Curtiess Hubbersty born in London (b. Dec 12, 1815) and a Phyllis F or (J). Hubbersty born 1817 also in London. With both Zachary and Phyllis being relatively rare Hubbersty names, it appears likely that Zachary was one of the surviving children of Zachary above.

Zachary does seem to have had some financial problems as outlined in the London Gazette from 1845.

WHEREAS a Petition of Zachary Hubbersty, late of No. 65, Exmouth-street, Clerkenwell, in the county of Middlesex, Managing Clerk, and a Prisoner for Debt in the Debtors' Prison for London and Middlesex, at White Cross-street, in the city of London, an insolvent debtor, having been filed in the Court of Bankruptcy, and the interim order for protection from process having been given to the said Zachary .Hubbersty,.....

By the 1841 census we had Phyllis Hubberstey living with Isabella Hubbersty (b est. 1796), age 45. Later on, by the 1861 census, we had Phyllis living with her aunt, Martha Curteis, thereby providing another link to Robert Curteis Hubbersty.

In any case, Robert was baptized at Peter-Le-Poer, London Jan 17, 1816. He went on to marry Catherine Paley (b. 1819, Easingwold, Yorkshire, d. 1880) in 1849 in Stamford, Lincs. and they had 4 children, Catherine (b. 1850) and John Paley (b.1858) Lucy Sarah (b. 1865) and Robert Stephen (b.1862). In the 1861 census, Robert was listed as Perpetual Curate of Cartmel, Lancs. He was counted in a census in 1871 as Vicar of Cartmel and Landowner. In the 1881 census he was described as Rector of Casterton Parish, Rectory, Litt, Rutland (widower). More on Robert and Catherine and their backgrounds - http://www.john-attfield.com/paf_tree/attfield_current/fam2185.html

Catherine Hubbersty married William Paley Anderson in 1880 in Stamford, Lincs. (There is a "Paley" relationship here as might be expected - William Paley was Catherine's father's sisters' son - link here - so, cousins). She died in 1949.They had the following children: Edward William Paley Anderson, born in 1884 in Winsford, Somerset. and Laurence Robert D Anderson, born in 1886 in Winsford, Somerset. Edward William Paley Anderson married Hilda Westall and they had three children (Peter William Paley Anderson, Ruth Anderson, and Jane Anderson).

Lucy Sarah married William Henry Blake in 1896.

Robert Stephen was listed as a medical practitioner in the 1891 census, living in South Bishop Weamouth, Sunderland. He married Florence Brady(b.1864, d.1952) in 1897. They appear to have had 2 children, Catherine Paley (b. 1900) and Francis Stephen (b. 1903, d. Feb. 1991). The births were registered in Sunderland. Catherine Paley married John Edward Bowring in 1927. Francis Stephen Hubbersty is later referred to as a surgeon in Middlesborough. There was an article published in the British Journal of Opthamology in 1959 by a F.S. Hubbersty. Robert Stephen Hubbersty's obituary from 1939 can be read at the British Medical Journal, part of which is excerpted below.

Dr. ROBERT STEPHEN HUBBERSTY, who died on June 13, had been a member of the Sunderland Division of the British Medical Association for fifty-four years. He was born at Cartmel, Lancs, in December,. 1861, the son of the Rev. R. C. Hubbersty, and was a direct descendant of the Rev. William Paley, D.D. (1743-1805), Archdeacon of Carlisle and author of the Evidences of Christianity,

John Paley Hubbersty also married in 1897, to Mable Emma Boulton. By 1901 they had one daughter, Phyllis Margaret. (b.1898). Subsequent to the census they appear to have had another son Robert Paley in 1902. The births were registered in Leeds. The BMD records show the death of a John P. Hubbersty aged 72 in 1930 at Warfdale and Robert P. Hubberstey in 1937.

So on the male side at least this line ends with the death of Francis Stephen Hubbersty in 1991.


Additional London entries:

This one is quite confusing but fun.

We start with finding a John Hubbersty Mathews of 142 Hargate having died in 1886, links here and here, leaving a widow Marianne.

To make things interesting John Hubberstey Mathews (b. 1796) seems to have been the son of John Mathews (b. 1745, d, 1833) and his second wife Joan Anne Wright (b. 1760, 1848). Now if you are asking where did the Hubbersty in the name come from (after all neither of his parents was a Hubbersty), you are asking a good question.

The answer is that there was a Zachary Hubbersty (b.1759, d.1799) who married a Susan Mathews (b1754, d. 1838). More here. Susan was the sister of John Mathews (who married Joan Anne Wright). So it looks like the Hubberstey was added as a middle name for some family reason. The whole family tree is here.

And so we end with finding out that John Hubbersty Mathews was not a Hubbersty! Interestingly he did write a piece called "A treatise on the doctrine of presumption and presumptive evidence, as affecting the title to real and personal property (1827)"

If I find more I will add them later.

Kendal - Wirksworth

At left is a photo of the gravestone of Nathan Hubbersty (died March 27, 1799) in Haygarth in Docker, Kendal. Nathan Hubbersty was the father of Rev. Nathan Hubbersty who we will meet below. (Thanks to Nigel for the picture)

J
ust about all Hubbersteys today trace back to the Preston/Blackburn area. There is however one line that existed in the Wirksworth, Derbyshire area for quite a while. This line had some prominent members and was notable for one other reason; its earliest individual for which we have reasonable records was Rev Nathan Hubbersty, Church of England. This is striking because Hubberstey, at least in the Preston/Blackburn area has been pretty much a "Catholic" name. It seems though that outside of this area many were Church of England, as there are also a few other listings for "Hubbersty"s as Reverends at the Church of England site.

By the 1901 census however, there appeared to be only 3 members left of this family. While it may look as if this line was about to disappear, in reality it seems to have continued, as least for a while, in a slightly different form...as "Cantrell-Hubbersty". Here is the complicated story of this line.

A distant starting point?

The earliest reference to a Hubbersty in the area is to a John Hubberstey {with an "ey" ending} (reference here - Wirksworth records), but this reference is not very detailed at all. It does however indicate a possible longer term relationship between a few families in the area. It appears that a granddaughter of a John Hubberstey (Mary Haine) married a George Tomlinson April 30, 1730.

One of the children of George Tomlinson and Mary Haine was Philip Tomlinson. He married a Dorothy Wood and it is one of their daughters, Mary Dorothy Tomlinson, who provides our link back onto the Hubbersty line.

Haygarth, Docker, Kendal:

But before we link up, let's take a step back to the earliest direct ancestors of this line. We start with Nathan Hubberstey (b. 1722, d. 1799), whose gravestone is pictured above. Nathan married Elinor and had at least 2 children (John b. 1770 and Nathan b.1767) in the Haygarth, Docker, Kendal area. It looks as if John stayed closer to home (he was buried with his parents), while Nathan eventually made it to Wirksworth.

There is some archival information on the Haygarth Docker property which is interesting and hints at Nathan's ancestors. Unfortunately so far it has not been possible to pin anything down directly. We do know that there are documents, starting in 1726 that mention a Thomas Hubbersty and various transactions (leases, mortgages, etc.) about the property. They also mention Agnes as the mother of Thomas. There are a few tantalizing leads to head back further, but so far nothing concrete. Some of the properties in the area however did manage to stay in the family hands for some time, as we shall see later on.

On to Wirksworth:

This is where the clearer part of the line in Wirksworth starts. We begin with Rev. Nathan Hubberstey (b. 1767, d. 1828), who attended Clare College, Cambridge and who was also the Headmaster for the grammar school at Wirksworth. He married Mary Dorothy Tomlinson in 1801 and they had 6 children (Nathan, Mary Dorothy, Phillip, John, Henry, and Agnes Eleanor). Mary Dorothy died at age 23, while Agnes (d.1892) married Price Wood (one has to wonder if there is a bit more family line crossing going on as it was Philip Tomlinson who married a Dorothy Wood, but so far I have not found any eveidence of this).

There are a couple of good links for this line. First is a pedigree chart HERE. There is also the longer record HERE. The pedigree charts also note that there was a John Hubbersty, indicating that John may have spent time in Wirksworth as well.

We also have this cute comment from a Mary Brown:

Reverend Hubbersty's family in Wirksworth visited Aunt's family at Wood End. They had a daughter my age, and two sons older, Philip and Nathan. When I was a little girl I liked Nathan; he became a preacher in the English Church, and Philip a lawyer. Years afterwards I saw Philip at Hollins and Fritchley on business, but I did not tell him I was Mrs. Swettenham's little niece.
On the male side of the line:

Nathan: Nathan's first wife was Margaret Emma Hurt (d. 1845). He had 5 children with her (Richard Nathan, Charles John, Henry Alfred, Mary Margaret, and Margaret Emma) and then remarried after her death to Eliza C. Hartopp. His first child was Richard Nathan. It does not appear that any of the male children had children themselves.

One note from the pedigree chart. It shows a Margaret Emma (daughter of Nathan and Margaret Emma) born 1840. Other records show her born Nov 18, 1845 and marrying Francis White Popham on April 16, 1872 in Shanklin, Hampshire.

There is an interesting post at Roots Web HERE, and Wirksworth.org HERE about Richard Nathan Hubbersty.

He joined the army at 19 and went to India, but went to New Zealand on sick leave, then returned to England in 1868.. Then back to India, and on to Burma. He retired as Hon Lieut. Colonel in 1885. He died unmarried in Cornwall in 1886 aged 47. His father, Nathan, was Curate of Alderwasley. Richard Nathan descended from the famous HURT and ARKWRIGHT families.
There is also a much longer and fascinating post on Richard Nathan Here (go to the bottom of the page and read the note from John Harper in New Zealand).

Also a Reverend like his father, Rev. Nathan Hubberstey studied at St John's college in Cambridge and received a BA in 1827 and by 1829 was apparently the head master of the Wirksworth grammar school. He also had a number of correspondences and even a hike or two in Wales with Charles Darwin.

The connection with Darwin is doubly interesting when you find out that one of Nathan's sons, Henry Alfred, married Philip's daughter Francis Augusta (they being first cousins). I was wondering what Darwin would have thought about it, then realised that Darwin himself married his first cousin.

The only information I have been able to find on Charles John is that he had a business as a barge owner (Hubberstey and Co.) at Victoria Docks, Essex, but died in Cheadle after living in Bury where he had been a Lime Agent.

John: John appears to have married an Ann G. ??? and had two daughters, Adelaide and Constance.

Philip: Philip was a noted lawyer who (b. 1806, d. 1882) married Augusta Cantrell, and this is where "Cantrell" enters the picture. They appear to have had least three children. The children that I have found so far were Francis Augusta (b.1842) (who married Henry Alfred as noted above), Albert Cantrell (b.1843), and William Philip (b.1840). In the 1901 census we find Francis Augusta still living with Henry Alfred. The BMD records show the death of Henry Alfred in 1922 (aged 80) and the death of Francis A. in 1925 (aged 84), both in Chapel en le Frith (Derbyshire).

I should note here that Nathan and Philip, (and likely John) maintained possession of substantial landdholdings in the Kendal area throughout this period.

Docker Hollins Farm. With plans.Owned by Rev. Nathan Hubbersty and Philip Hubbersty. Customaryhold.
Also: Patton Patton Hall Farm and land. With plans.Owned by Rev. Nathan Hubersty and Philip Hubbersty. Freehold.
Also: Orton Enclosures and cattlegates in Orton. With plans.Owned by Rev. Nathan Hubbsertsy and Philip Hubbersty. Customaryhold
Also: Staveley - Nether Borwick Fold Farm. WIth plans.Owned by Rev. Nathan Hubbersty and Philip Hubbersty. Freehold.
Also: Whinfell Enclosures in Whinfell. With plans.Owned by Rev. Nathan Hubbersty and Philip Hubbersty. Freehold
From the London Gazette we get a description of lands that were to be sold in 1870 that had been part of the estate of John Hubberstey (d.1833), whose tombstone is pictured above. We also get a listing of the various family members and their positions at that time.

...that on the 10th day of May, 1870, the Reverend Nathan Hubbersty. of Eastwell Hall, in the county of Leicester, Clerk, Richard Nathan Hubbersty, a Captain in the 89th Regiment of Infantry, now stationed at Fermoy, in Ireland, Charles John Hubbersty, a Captain in the Merchant Navy, now on board the bark Halton Castle, of Liverpool, Henry Alfred Hubbersty, of Collingham, in the county of Nottingham, Land Agent, Mary Margaret Hubbersty and Margaret Emma Hubbersty, of Eastwell Hall aforesaid, Spinsters, Philip Hubberstey, of Wirksworth, in the county of Derby, Solicitor, William Philip Hubbersty, of Burton-upon-Trent, in the county of Stafford, Solicitor, Albert Cantrell Hubbersty, of Alfreton, in the county of Derby, Solicitor, Frances Augusta Hubbersty, of Wirksworth aforesaid, Spinster, and Agnes Eleanor Wood, of Wirksworth aforesaid, Widow of Nicholas Price Wood, Esq., (deceased)


Philip's son Albert eventually became Col. Albert Cantrell-Hubbersty, married Martha Lydia Jessop (Dec 6, 1876) (Martha was the daughter of William Jessop, Esquire, of Butterley Hall in the county of Derby) and so far I have found five children, WCE (or William Philip Cantrell-Hubberstey) (b.1878), George Albert Jessop (b.1882 d.1928), and Augusta Margaret (b.1879), Mary Frances (b.1892) and Edward DeBurgh (b.1888).

A note on Albert's (though listed a Arthur) rank of Colonel...and a link to the Robin Hood Batallion is here from 1908.
7th (Robin Hood) Battalion, Sherwood Foresters (Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Regiment) ; Lieutenant-Colonel Commandant and Honorary Colonel Arthur Cantrell Cantrell-Hubbersty, from the 1st Nottinghamshire (Robin Hood) Volunteer Rifle Corps, to be Lieutenant-Colonel with the honorary rank of Colonel, with precedence
as in the Volunteer Force. Dated 1st April, 1908.

It appears that for a time Albert Cantrell resided at the Felley and its Priory. There is an article with pictures HERE.

The house was let to a number of tenant farmers until in 1 8 8 6 Albert Cantrell Hubbersty, J.P., of Higham near Alfreton took it over, and after adding the drawing room block on the south and the kitchen on the north end lived in the house until 1895/6.
There is also information about the Cantrell-Hubbersteys at The "New Ragdale Hall"
The “New Ragdale Hall”, built in 1785 in the Late Georgian period by the 6th Earl Ferrers in the neoclassical style, was a large, cemented building, considered modern for its time. It was situated on an elevated position north of the village of Ragdale, and was surrounded by an ornamental water-filled moat.
...until 1908 when it was finally purchased from the Earl Ferrers Estate by Albert Cantrell-Hubbersty. The Cantrell-Hubbersty family ran the Hall and estates for the next 50 years and, being a fervent hunting family, were the mainstay of the Quorn Hunt and kept fox-hunting alive in Leicestershire through two World Wars.
With regard to the Quron Hunt we do know that Major P Cantrell-Hubbersty was the acting Master from 1940-47, and Mrs P Cantrell-Hubbersty from 1948-51. The last quote above brings us to the late 1950s and that's as far as I have gotten on this line so far.

It looks as if at least 3 of Albert and Martha's children did marry. First there is the marriage of William Philip Cantrel to a Phyllis Hermione Mary Bethel (b.1880) on February 7, 1923. What is interesting about the marriage is the background of the bride. She was the daughter of William Bethel and the Hon. Mairi Myrtle Willoughby, who in turn was the daughter of Henry Willoughby, 8th Baron, Middleton. The article on the left by Simon Blow mentions his great aunt Phyllis Cantrell-Hubberstey - (double click on the image to enlarge it for viewing).


Augusta Margaret Cantrell-Hubbersty married John Henry (Percy) Hales in 1898 and they had at least one daughter, Helen Margaret Hales (b.1908).

George Alberet Jessop Cantrell-Hubbersty married Hilda St. M. Willoughby in 1913. He filed for divorce in 1921 and died in 1928.

Edward DeBurgh Hubbersty married Elinor Leech. The only other mentions of him that I can find is HERE, where he is listed as living at 2 Aston Road Ealing, Middlesex in 1926, and also Here in 1940 where he is listed as "residing at The Rectory, Gedling, in the county of Nottingham. Gentleman, of no occupation" with regard to a bankruptcy issue.

Update: Thanks to Joan who discovered this blog and contacted me we now also have a picture of Edward de Burgh Cantrell-Hubbersty from 1917 when he was part of "C" Company No. 14 Officer Cadet Battalion in Fryth, Berkhamsted.

 


Summary:
Unfortunately, up until now, I have not been able to determine if there are any currently surviving members from this quite fascinating line.

A note on Cantrell:

There is this notice in the London Gazette with Queen Victoria authorizing Albert to use Cantrell along with Hubberstey.

Whitehall, February 3, 1894.
THE Queen has been pleased to grant unto Albert Cantrell Hubbersty, of Felley Abbey, in the union of Basford, in the county of Nottingham, Esquire, late Major and Honorary Lieutenant-Colonel, 3rd Battalion, Derbyshire Regiment, Lieutenant - Colonel Commanding and Honorary Colonel (1892), 1st Battalion, Nottinghamshire (Robin Hood) Rifle Volunteers, in the Commission of the Peace for the counties of Derby and Nottingham, Her Royal licence and authority that he and his issue may take and henceforth use the surname of Cantrell in addition to and before that of Hubbersty, and that he and they may bear the arms of Cantrell quarterly
with their own family arms; such arms being first exemplified according to the laws of arms, and recorded in the College of Arms, otherwise the said- Royal licence and permission to be void and of none effect: And to command that the said Royal concession and declaration be recorded in Her Majesty's said College of Arms.


                                          Double click image above to enlarge.

Update: Located AC Cantrell-Hubbersty (57), Mary Cantrell-Hubberstey (9) and WJC Cantrell-Hubbersty (23) on the 1901 census. They had been listed as Cantrell-Hubbersby. AC Cantrell-Hubbersty is listed as a Magistrate and Bank director. Judging from the number of servants listed (11), they were probably rather well off

Update #2: we have the following entry.

Phyllis Mary Hermione Bethell (26 Apr 1880-8 Sep 1962); m.7 Feb 1923 William Philip Cantrell Cantrell-Hubbersty (24 Oct 1877-22 Mar 1947)

This ties in above with the entry on the Quron hunt, with William Philip being the acting master until 1947 (the year of his death), and then his wife taking over after that. It also appear, given the birth dates that WCE and WJC Cantrell-Hubbersty are William Philip.

Update #3: From the BMD records it appears that
Albert C C died in 1915 at the age of 72 in Melton Mowbray
George AJC died in 1928 (age 46) at Bingham. George does not seem to have been picked up in the 1901 census.
Martha L C died in 1910, age 52 also in Melton Mowbray .

Update #4: Augusta Margaret Crantell-Hubbersty married John Henry Hales.
They had a daughter Henry Margaret Hales, born Nov 2, 1908. She married Thomas Leonard Bousfield HUSKINSON in 1929.

Update #5: The last record I have for a Cantrell-Hubbersty is the death of Mary Frances (daughter of Albert and Martha) Nov 7, 1980 (b.1892) at Milton Farm, Westcott, Dorking, Surrey.
.
Previous to that is the death of Phyllis Mary Hermione Cantrell-Hubbersty, Sussex, Widow, on Sept 8, 1962.

and Georgina Winter Cantrell-Hubbersty of Twickenham August 18, 1960 - I have no record to match with her birth.
