    John’s son Joseph was born in Glos in 1787 and baptized on 24 June that year;  he died in 1868, still in Gloucestershire.  He married an Elizabeth (1798-1858), and they had three children:  Charles, born in 1823 [“register at Stoke Gifford, Glos”] and died 1867;  George, born 1836 Gloucestershire, died 1896, occupation:  grocer in Hambrook, 1887;  Richard, born 1838 [register at Stoke Gifford, Glos], died 1897.

    John’s son William was born in 1788 in Gloucestershire and baptized on 11 January 1789;  he died in 1849 in Gloucestershire.  He married twice:  first, Hannah Orchard, by whom he had six children:  William Bence, born 1812 in Gloucestershire;  John, born 1814 in Gloucestershire and died 1838;  Elizabeth, born 1816 in Gloucestershire;  Richard, born 1818 in Gloucestershire, died 1880, lived in Westerleigh;  Hannah, born 1820 in Gloucestershire and died the same year;  Mary Ann, born 1823 in Gloucestershire and also died that year.   Hannah apparently died on 12 March 1821, aged thirty-four [and therefore Mary Ann’s birthdate, or mother, is incorrect].  William’s second wife was Sarah Pullin, whom he married on 23 April 1811 [wrong date, surely?]:  they had children:  Jane, born 1825 in Gloucestershire;  Joseph, born 1826 and died 2 March 1841;  Ann, born 1827 in Gloucestershire;  Thomas, born in 1829;  James, born 1830 in Gloucestershire and had children Alice, Selina, Maggie, Hannah and Jane;  Mary, born 1832 in Gloucestershire and died in 1850;  George, born 1833 in Gloucestershire;  Ruth, born 1835 in Gloucestershire;  Joseph, born 1837 in Gloucestershire and died in 1841;  John Pullin, born 1839 in Gloucestershire;  Sarah Ann, born 1841 in Gloucestershire;  Emma, born 1843 in Gloucestershire, married Charles Henry Hopkins on 2 Apr 1867 in Hawkesbury and had children Ada G (born 1870/1), Charles E (1875/6) and John Limbrick (1879/80).

        William’s son William Bence was born on 10 June 1812 in Hawkesbury, and died on 16 January 1886.  He married twice;  he and both wives are recorded in Yate churchyard:  first, Ann who died on 27 July 1852, aged  forty-two;  secondly Mary, born 13 May 1820 in Sherston Magna, Wilts, died 19 November 1892.  The 1881 census has the family living at Court Farm, Horton, Glos:  the children are William, born 1851/2 in Iron Acton;  George Percy, born 1853/4 in Yate;  Mary Emily, born 1858/9 in Yate;  Margaret born 1861/2 in Yate.  There was also apparently a daughter, Sarah Ann, born in ?1843.

                William Bence’s daughter Sarah Ann was born in 1843.  She married Richard Wickham Arnold (born 1860??, son of Thomas and Sarah Ann née Limbrick) in 1876, by whom she had four children:  Lucie Emilie born in 1880, Albert Richard in 1881, Grace Madeline in 1883 and Thomas Percy in 1887.  Richard later remarried, Elizabeth Ann Limbrick (see elsewhere in these notes), by whom he had another child, Pat.

        William’s son Richard was born in Hawkesbury, Glos, in 1818.  He lived in Westerleigh and died in 1880.  He married Susanna Lawrence (born 1825, died ?1907), by whom he had nine children:  Eliza, born in Westerleigh in 1846;  Edmund Orchard, born in Westerleigh in 1847;  Emma Jane, born in Westerleigh in 1848;  George Lawrence, born in Westerleigh in 1850 and died that same year;  Elizabeth Ann, born in 1851;  William, born in Westerleigh in 1853;  another George Lawrence born in 1854;  Jane Ann, born in Westerleigh in 1858;  and Susanna Mary, born in Westerleigh in 1864 and died in 1866.  In 1851 the census recorded Richard and Susannah with Emma Jane, Eliza and “Edmon Archord”, together with a live-in servant, Charlotte Iles.

                    Richard’s daughter Elizabeth Ann was born in Westerleigh in 1851.  She married twice:  first, FK Godwin, by whom she had three children – Richard, Ernest and Winifred;  and secondly Richard Wickham Arnold (see above), by whom she had one child, Pat.

            William’s son, Thomas was born in Gloucestershire in 1829.  On 15 March 1856 he married Sarah Shipp at Hawkesbury:  at the time he was apparently “of Hawkesbury and Wickwar”.  The couple had at least nine children:  Hannah M born in 1858/9, Thomas W in 1860/1, Frederick J in 1862/3, Albert G in 1863/4, Sarah A in 1865/6, Mary E in 1866/7, Fanny Jane in 1868, Bence J in 1869/70 and James P in 1871.  The 1861 census records the family at Chipping Sodbury, and that of 1871 at Hampstead Farm:  Thomas was a “farmer of 226 acres”.  Sarah died on 14 October 1901 and Thomas on 2 June 1902.

    John’s son Isaac was born in Gloucestershire in 1790, being baptized in the October of that year.  He worked apparently as a “vet, inn-keeper, victualler”.  He married twice:  first, Susannah, by whom he had four daughters:  Elizabeth Ann, born in 1817;  Hester, born in 1820 in Chipping Sodbury and baptized there;  Jane, born in 1821 in Chipping Sodbury and baptized there;  and Anne, born in 1824 in Chipping Sodbury and baptized there.  Isaac subsequently married Sarah, by whom he had a son, Isaac, born in Chipping Sodbury in 1824.  This younger Isaac worked as a veterinary surgeon;  he married Emma and had three children:  Sarah (who married John Goodall), Isaac and Emma.

    John’s son George was baptized (born?) on 24 April 1796.  He worked as a farmer.  He married Ruth on 14 December 1824 at Hawkesbury, and had seven children :  Elizabeth, born in 1825;  Martha in 1827;  James in 1828;  Joseph in 1830;  William in 1831;  Richard in 1833 and George in 1837.

        George’s youngest son George was born in Horton, Glos in 1837.  He emigrated to New Zealand, where he worked as a “mariner and store-keeper”.  On 22 September 1864 he married Mary Ann Beamish (born in Hackney, London c. 1847) at the Church of England in Dunedin;  they had five children:  George Alfred Joseph, born on 13 October 1864 (married Edith Pell and had children Stella and Ruby);  Charles Henry Shadforth, born on 17 November 1866 (married Evelyn Gertrude Mann and had a son Reginald Cuthbert);  William Henry Herbert, born on 21 June 1873;  Francis Richard, born on 11 April 1876;  and Horton Sydney, born in 1878.  George apparently abandoned his family, and later married Mary Ann’s sister Sarah Jane in Victoria and had a second family.

            George’s son Francis Richard was born on 11 April 1876 at Arrow River, New Zealand, before moving to Tasmania.  Shortly after arriving in Tasmania, George left his family;  Mary Ann died in the Lachlan valley a short while later and the children were fostered out.  Francis was fostered in the Wilton family and married one of their daughters, Lilian Mary (born 10 March 1878), on 5 April 1897.  They had twelve children:  Foncie Jessie, born on 3 June 1897 at Lachlan, New Norfolk;  William Reuben, born on 15 February 1899 in New Norfolk;  Charles Redveres, born 1 April 1900 in Lachlan Valley, New Norfolk;  Stanley Wilton, born 17 September 1901 in the Lachlan Valley, New Norfolk;  Sarah Ann (“Sade”), born 25 December 1903 in the Lachlan Valley, New Norfolk;  Evelyn Gertrude May, born on 21 December 1905 in New Norfolk;  Leila Mary Ruth, born 1 December 1907 in the Lachlan valley, New Norfolk, and died on 5 May the following year;  Lilian Daphne, born 12 January 1909 in the Lachlan valley, New Norfolk;  Allan Dudley, born 21 May 1911 in the Lachlan valley, New Norfolk;  Mervin, born 22 May 1913 in the Lachlan valley, New Norfolk;  Ruby Mira, born 25 August 1915 in the Lachlan valley, New Norfolk;  and George Alfred Joseph, born 9 February 1918 in the Lachlan valley, New Norfolk.

Thomas’ son Richard was born in Frampton Cotterell (or Rangeworthy?) in 1821.  In 1839 he married Eleanor (‘Ellen’) Wall, still in Rangeworthy, Glos.  The 1851 census for Rangeworthy has Richard & Ellen with four children, all born in Rangeworthy:  Charles Henry born in 1841/2, George James in 1843/4, Mary in 1846/7, and Hannah in 1849/50;  Richard was an “agricultural labourer”.  In the following years they had five more children – Eliza born in about 1851, Harriet in 1856 (dying three years later), Emily in about 1858, John in about 1862 and William Joseph in about 1871.  At some point the family had emigrated to Australia, to join Eleanor’s brothers at Kyneton near Melbourne.  Richard died on 27 July 1871 in Carlsruhe, Victoria, being crushed by a tree that fell on him while he was clearing land; he was buried two days later in Kyneton cemetery.  Ellen died on 18 March 1886 in Carag Carag, Victoria and was buried two days later in Rochester.
