George Marten/Martin Coppard Bank manager

Mangles Brothers, the West Surrey Bank. This bank was started in 1836 in Guildford as Mangles, Keen & Co; the partners at around 1861 were Frederick Mangles of Bletchingley, Charles Edward Mangles of Poyle Park, Farnham and Ross Donnelly Mangles of Woodbridge Park, Stoke Next Guildford – gentlemen all. This bank was taken over by the English Joint Stock Bank in 1866, which failed in that same year (having been struggling for some time). We may feel uncomfortable about certain aspects of banking now, but these small joint stock banks, which once issued their own notes, went bust on a regular basis, taking the depositors down with them. Also see Bank Robbery where you will note that the West Surrey Bank building did not sound very substantial either. So, in 1861 the manager was Mr Coppard, born c.1818 Blackfriars; married 1844 Georgiana Tooloubief* Barcham (c.1816 Great Yarmouth-1893 Epsom). Son of a grocer, previously an officer of the Inland Revenue, living in Ewell, and then a maltster and wine merchant at Clay Hill . Lest you fear that his financial career was ruined when the bank went down the pan, you will be reassured to know that he became an agent for several insurance companies, Rate Collector for the local Board of Health and Secretary to the Epsom Gas Company. Died 8 August 1892 Epsom, then living at The Parade. *not a spelling mistake – this apparently was her name.

John Hopkins Master tailor

Born c.1815 Epsom. Married Maria (c.1815 Epsom-1877). Died 28 June 1874.

Children) - James (1832 Hatfield, plumber and painter, married Amelia John); Lydia Catherine (1834 Highgate-1909 Aston, Birmingham; married saddler John Adam Pearson); Charles Joseph (c.1836 Epsom-1879 Islington, plumber, married Isabella Matilda Clapham); Sarah Margaret (1838 Epsom-1920 Islington district, married 1865 engineer Henry Thomas Mather, who died just a few weeks later, and in 1884 she married Thomas Henry John, who died in 1886); Harriet Chesher (c.1841 Epsom-1926 Islington district, married James Antrim).

Thomas Breeden Farrier

Born c.1794 Reigate. Married 1817 Headley Harriett Penfold (c.1800 Epsom-1873). Died 28 September 1876 at High Street. Daughters Harriett and Jane took over the business and then went to live with the Nyes (see below). Children – Harriett (c.1819 Dorking-1910 Epsom, unmarried); Richard Thomas (c.1820 Dorking – see South Street); William (c.1822 Dorking, blacksmith, married Elizabeth Brown [nee Baldwin], in Paddington Workhouse in 1881); James (c.1825 Dorking-1892 Epsom, then living East Street, blacksmith, married Sophia Oliver, grandparents of George Oliver James Breeden); Mary Ann (c.1831 Dorking-1906?, married local builder and undertaker George Nye, who was later at 80 High Street); Charles (1831 Epsom-1899 Bethnal Green, farrier in Bethnal Green, married Sarah Ann Hopkinson); Frederic (c.1833 Epsom-1914 Camberwell district, cabman in Newington, married Jane Roberts); Jane (c.1835 Epsom-1923 Epsom, then living 30 Station Road, unmarried); Edward (c.1836 Epsom-1840); Ellen (1838 Epsom-1919 Croydon district, then living Thornton Heath, married cousin Thomas Breedon); Eliza (1840 Epsom-1914 Reigate, married tailor Charles Brown Yeoman).

Children – Emily (c.1835 Hatfield-1888 Eastbourne, married baker Henry Hampton); Edwin (c.1837 Hatfield-1883 Eastbourne, married Maria Pocock); Caroline Harriet (1848 Walworth). This seems a strange mixture of jobs, but perhaps neither paid sufficiently by itself. Before moving to the High Street he had been running a commercial day school in South Street. The High Street establishment took boarders and there were six lads in residence. In 1851 Mr Barker was a surgeon’s assistant in West Ham, but had been a schoolmaster previously. By 1881 Mr (now described as a retired chemist) and Mrs Barker had moved to Croydon to live with their widowed daughter Emily.

Mrs Mary Ann Lucock (widow) Poulterer

Nee Wells. Born c.1790 Dorking. Married 1814 poulterer William Lucock (c.1783 Reigate-10 August 1859 Epsom). Died 1874 Epsom. Children (probably all born Epsom except the first) – Emma (c.1815 Cripplegate-1866 Epsom, married grocer William Hailes; parents of James Hailes see Epsom Businesses 1911 ); Louisa (1816-45, married farmer James Botright [?] Cooke); Mary (c.1820, married miller Samuel Hooper); Eleanor (c.1823-98 Epsom, unmarried); William (1824, see below); Hannah (c.1827, married job master George Edward Kitchen); Elizabeth (c.1828-25 October 1888 Epsom, married William Barnard of Ye Olde House/Riddington’s); Anne (c.1831-1908?), married James Harrowell); Harvey Woods (1835-69 Epsom, married Caroline Wainford*). *It looks as if she died in 1878 and that son Harvey William ended up with Hannah Kitchen, who also took on Nellie later, although she was initially placed in an orphanage. Harvey William died in West Ham Borough Asylum in 1911, described as having been a lunatic for about two years, and Nellie married an Arthur Younger. There were a lot of waifs and strays among the Lucocks, most of whom ended up with William Barnard at Epsom. Owing to the lack of house numbering in the relevant directory I am not sure if the shop was at this building or at the residence of Mrs Lucock’s son, William (see below). It seems highly unlikely that they had two shops.

Timothy Barnard Junior White Hart Hotel Publican

Image courtesy of Bourne Hall Museum

Son of Timothy Barnard Senior. Unmarried. Committed suicide on 18 March 1869 by cutting his throat. Newspapers commented that he was a well-known local sporting character (his death did not get much coverage as it occurred on the same day as that of Squire Heathcote) and it is to be presumed that this involved horse racing and betting, which several Barnards were involved with - it was the financial ruination of at least two of them. I believe that the Barnard family owned the White Hart for some years.

By 1871 the Collingwoods had retired to Egham and lived in ‘Villa France House’. Died 10 March 1886 Hursley House, Egham, where he then lived.

John Adds Master Butcher

Born c.1810 Epsom. Married 1837 Elizabeth Terry (c.1813 Epsom-1892). Died 22 December 1877 Epsom.

William Barnard Confectioner

One of the legion of offspring of Timothy Barnard Senior, who may well have been Epsom’s most prolific sire. See The Barnards of Epsom This was the establishment known as Ye Olde House, and later Riddington’s, although you would scarcely recognise it from the drawing above. Here it is in the photo below (extreme right) with the Barnard sign on the left hand end of the roof.

Charles Collett Field Stove dealer

Born c.1812 Hoxton/Southwark. Married 1836 Jane Parsons (c.1813 Rochester, Kent). Died 1886 Croydon district. Children – Jane (c.1835 Hackney); Isabella Ann (1841 Hackney); Anne (c.1844 Haggerston, London; married greengrocer Frederick Wellings); Charles (1844 Haggerston, schoolmaster turned clerk, married Harriet Martha Wellings, sister of Frederick Wellings); Frederick (1847 Haggerston, married 1871 Eliza Sarah Elliot, daughter of James Elliott the Epsom Beadle; Sergeant Major in the Army at the time of his marriage); Isabella (1851 Epsom-1929 Portsmouth, married schoolmaster Francis James Boait [died 1922] and in 1929 John Warner Kimber). Since, as mentioned in the introduction, domestic gas supply was still in its infancy, Mr Field was probably dealing in solid fuel cast iron range cookers (along the lines of an AGA). My great aunt and grandmother both still had these, burning solid fuel, in the 1950s. By 1871 the Fields had moved to Hornchurch, Essex, where Mr Field became a gardener (which may have had something to do with the relentless march of domestic gas) and his wife was a schoolmistress. In between 1861 and 1871 he had been described as a bailiff and a farmer. Originally he was a shoemaker.

William Lucock Poulterer

Born 1824 Epsom, son of William and Mary Ann (see above). Married 1860 Emily Martin (c.1840 Croydon – between 1871 and 1881). Died 15 July 1863 Epsom. Emily remarried 1867 to hosier turned publican Thomas Seymour Thomas and had several more children; after Emily’s death Mr Thomas turned his hand to shirt and collar manufacture and then became a commercial traveller. Children – William (1860 Clapham-1863 Epsom); Emily (1861 Epsom, married Ernest Coventry Baynton); Edward Martin (1862 Epsom-63).

Owing to the lack of house numbering in the relevant directory I am not sure if the shop was at this building or at the residence of Mr Lucock’s mother, Mary Ann (see above). It seems highly unlikely that they had two shops.

James Gaston The King’s Shades Publican

Called The King’s Head Stores (I think – bad handwriting) in the census – this would be the King’s Shades. Born c.1818 Sutton.

Now at South Street

STRAYS

There seems to have been a perennial issue with old censuses as to where the High Street ended and South Street began. The enumerator has the following two establishments in the High Street but directories suggest that they were regarded as being in South Street at the time.

James Hills* Master shoemaker

Born c.1781 Angmering, Sussex. Married Sarah (possibly nee Hawkins and married 1806, died 1816 Epsom, aged 38) and then in 1819 married Frances Hawkins (c.1787 Essex-1875 Epsom). Died 1864. Children (all born Epsom) – James (c.1808, shoemaker in Ewell, married Mary); Henry (c.1810-67); William (1811-95 Epsom, shoemaker, married Mary, described as blind in the 1891 census); George (1814-84 Epsom, shoemaker, married Caroline Seaman); Ann (1815-79 Wonersh?, married shoemaker Richard Brett**); Sarah (c.1820); Frances (1827-88 Epsom, unmarried). I did mention in the Introduction that there seemed to be an inordinate amount of shoemakers around at this period and it appears that a large proportion of them belonged to the Hills family. *Trade directories give the address as South Street. **The Bretts started another dynasty of shoemakers, but this time in Wonersh.

George Augustus Ibbetson FRCS practising as dentist (it says)

Born c.1815 Marylebone. Described as a ‘visitor’ but there was also a Mr Matthew Bloxam ‘acting as assistant surgeon’. However, in medical registers his address is given as St George, Hanover Square before and after 1861 and he was fairly eminent, so this does look to be a visit (he may have been lending a hand to George Keeling, who had been having issues with the administration of anaesthetic). Unmarried at this point. Married Eleanor Gale Broun (died 1882, aged 32). Died 20 June 1894, then living Anerley, London. Child – George Broun Ibbetson (1877-1959 Valparaiso, Chile). In 1907 George Junior inserted an announcement in The Times saying that he would in future be known as Sir George Broun Ibbetson, claiming that he was the rightful heir to a Yorkshire baronetcy. Apparently he had made no official claim and it is presumed that he did not actually inherit.
