  • Notes 
    • Ann, the last child of Edward Gregory and Ann Ruck, was born 15 March 1855. Her life is somewhat of a mystery and she was never forthcoming with her children about family information.

      Prior to her first marriage, Ann had had one daughter named Alice Jane who was christened at the Faversham Parish Church on 18 February 1876. Unfortunately, this little child died around the time she was 1 year old and her death is registered during the first quarter of 1877 at Faversham District.

      She married for the first time, a man by the name of Henry Kearn, an engine driver, on the 29th of July 1876 at the parish church of Faversham. Henry George Karn [sic] was buried at Faversham on 22 April 1880. Cause of death is unknown at this time as I have not requisitioned his death certificate. None of Ann's grandchildren knew of this marriage and it only came to light when her marriage certificate to Alfred Bodeker was received. Ann was shown on that latter certificate as being Ann Kearn, widow, father - Edward Gregory, mariner.

      Although Ann was living with Alfred Bodeker as his wife by the time of the 1881 census, their marriage did not take place until 31 August 1890. In 1881 the family lived at 3 Gatefield Lane.

      Between 1880 and 1893 Ann and Alfred had 7 more children. Edith Louise, born 4 September 1880; Minnie born during 1882; Rose born during 1885; Frederick born 25 October 1887; Ada Jane born 28 December 1889; and, Minnie Winnifred born 5 February 1893. Annie C., Minnie and Rose all died during 1886. It was not until a trip to visit with Dorothy Hardman and Edith Owlett during June 2003 that it came to light that their Lill was actually named Ada Jane. Up until that time, I had suspected that was the case as certainly there had never been a Lillian Gregory, Kearn or Bodeker registered at any time in the Faversham District. Unfortunately, though I had nothing to prove my suspicions. Edith Owlett suddenly revealed that her mother's name was actually Ada Jane entirely out of the blue. I was astonished and proclaimed my thanks to her for finally rectifying that piece of family history. Certainly during the 1891 and 1901 census Ada is living with the family - but no Lillian.

      During 1891 the family continued to live at 33 Westgate Road in Faversham. Alfred was a labourer in the gun cotton works and the only children then living were Edith, aged 12, Frederick, aged 3 and Ada Jane, aged 2. At 32 Westgate Road was Ann's second cousin once removed, Charles Bunting, a steam sawyer, and his wife, Fanny, who had been born at St. George's in London. Charles Bunting was the great-grandson of Thomas Nutt and Mary Herman, Ann's great-great-grandparents through her grandmother, Christian Gregory (nee Milsted). It is unknown what the relationship was like between Ann and her cousin. As the relationship was somewhat removed in time between Charles Bunting and Ann, it also makes me wonder if either of them was aware of their kindred bonds and it does not appear that Charles and Fanny had any children of their own that might otherwise have played with the children of Ann and Alfred.

      Alfred Bodeker eventually rose to the position of foreman at the gun cotton works. He was a rather confused and abusive sort and eventually deserted Ann around 1899. We are told that he had run off with a younger woman and certainly two entries in the Faversham parish registers bear this out: christened 8 August 1900 Alfred Heinrich Bodeker (G.R.O. June Qtr, 1899, Orsett, 4a, 578) and christened 26 May 1901 Hilda Mildred Bodeker (G.R.O. March Qtr 1901, Orsett, 4a, 649), the children of Alfred Bodeker and Charlotte Eliza Houseden. Curiously, his residence was given as being Stanford, Essex. The 1901 census shows Alfred and Charlotte and their two children living at 10 Fleet Street, Corringham, Essex. He was working as a foreman in the guncotton and explosive powder works. Living with them were two male boarders who had each been born in the U.S.A.. Hilda was shown as 2 months old at the time and Charlotte was shown as being 29 years of age and born in Faversham. A third child was found on the G.R.O. birth index - Charles William, June Qtr. 1902, Orsett, vol. 4a, page 653.

      Family tradition recalls that Ann's eldest daughter used to make the most of opportunities to discredit Alfred in front of his new love or employees, ranging from name calling, kicking of shins, through to stamping on Charlotte's feet one day when Alfred and Charlotte were encountered walking together through town.

      About 1903 Alfred was sent to South Africa to assist in the start up of a new gun cotton works. Word eventually came back to Ann that he had been killed there in an explosion. No one knows for certain that this is true. I have my doubts as a descendant of Alfred's brother still lives in Faversham today. She is Ella Epps, great-aunt of a lady, Ruth Bodeker (now Busbridge) who lives in New Zealand. All attempts at communication, prior to 2003, with these people failed miserably with Ella Epps more or less of the opinion that 'we' Bodeker descendants do not exist. This situation was rectified during 2003 with a contact made with Sandy Patterson. Sandy is also a descendant of Alfred's brother and more information concerning the Bodeker line can be found in the notes concerning Alfred and his family. Contact has also now been made with Ruth Busbridge in New Zealand.

      Edith married in Faversham a man by the name of George Sharp and had taken up residence with her husband in the Chatham area, where during 1902 she gave birth to her only child, George Thomas Sharp. The family history of Edith and George during these few years, before they came to Canada are quite cloudy and more information will have to be gathered from Pamela Harrison, Edith's grand-daughter.

      Ann, with family in tow, moved to Canada circa 1912 and settled in Toronto. Edith, George and their son also emigrated with Ann. The Sharps opened a fresh fish store on Davenport Road. Again, there is some cloud of confusion surrounding Ada Jane during this period. Family reports have it that Alice, Ada's first child was not Luke's daughter. She actually married Luke Owlett in Toronto during 1912.

      Ada "Lill" and Luke eventually purchased a home at 251 Silverthorn Avenue where the entire family lived together for awhile. Minnie met Victor John Hill, her future husband, while riding the tram to work. She worked at Eaton's downtown and he was a conductor on that tram. Shortly before the outbreak of World War I Victor and Minnie's brother, Fred, purchased a small farm property in North York. Edith Owlett can recall one incident that happened when she was about 8 years old. Apparently the family was then living on Silverthorn and had come down very ill during the winter. Edith Owlett recalls looking up and down Silverthorn for any signs of activity as the weather was so dreadfully bad. She says that much to her great excitement and relief she recalls seeing Victor walking up the street and realized that he was probably coming to bring them the medicine that had been ordered by their doctor.

      On March 13th, 1916 Frederick Bodeker enlisted for duty with the 198th Battalion. His description on enlistment indicates that he was 5'10-1/4" tall, had a fresh complexion, blue eyes and fair hair - traits that seem to run through the Gregory family consistently. He also had three distinctive tatoos on his right arm and eventually those aided in his identification at death. Fred shipped overseas aboard the 'Metagama' arriving in Liverpool, England on 17 April 1917. After serving briefly as acting Lieutenant his designation reverted back to Private. On 20 May 1917 he was stationed at Witley camp in Surrey, England not too far outside of Godalming. By May 27th he was assigned to the intelligence course and on 1 March 1918 landed in France. Fred was killed in action 28 August 1918 while serving with the 2nd Canadian Mounted Rifles. He was buried at Vis-en-Artois, France and decorated with the British War Medal and the Victory medal. Fred's death deeply affected his sisters. Minnie never accepted his death and for years attempted to find some evidence that he remained alive. Lill named her third child, who was born three months after Fred's death, in remembrance of the cemetary where he was buried - Matilda 'Artois' Owlett.

      Ann returned to England with her daughter Edith and George Sharp circa 1917/18. Edith and George had became very disillusioned with life in Canada. Their store had suffered complete destruction in a fire and Edith was having great difficulty in understanding the Canadian currency system having been used to the pounds, shillings, pence system in use in England. At first, upon their return to England, Edith and George Sharp operated a public house in Chatham, Kent. by the time of Fred's death in 1918 their abode was the Rose Inn, Wheeler Street, Maidstone. No word had been heard from Edith's descendants from the time of her death during the 1950s until I (Susan) was able to finally track down Pamela Harrison (nee Sharp) during summer 2003.

      For a time Lill and her daughters worked at Neilsen's chocolate factory in Toronto. Alice, Lill's eldest daughter, was gifted musically and spent many hours playing her violin at hospitals and hospices. Alice however, had a very tragic marriage and she felt as if she had been the cause of her baby's death. Alice turned away from the support of her family and eventually died as a result of years of alcohol abuse. Matilda, Tilly as she was known, died at the age of 55 unmarried. She too, had not had great success in finding a mate and after her last beau spurned her she took to eating nothing but wieners. Matilda died of cancer. I can remember visiting Silverthorn Avenue at least once during the severest part of Tilly's illness. I was about 7 years old but I can clearly remember that she was up in her bedroom and unable to come down. The adults, only, were allowed to go up to visit with her.

      FAVERSHAM. - CONJUGAL BLISS.
      At the police court on Tuesday Henry Kearn was brought up under a warrant charged with threatening the life of his wife Anne Kearn (a rather stylishly dressed young woman, with white kid gloves, scented pocket handkerchief, etc) at Preston on Saturday night. In her information the complainant alleged that the prisoner threatened to cut her liver out, and that in consequence of this and other threats she feared he would do her some bodily injury, and prayed that he might be bound over to keep the peace. The prisoner denied having threatened his wife at all. He said she had left him on her own accord. On Saturday night she was walking about the streets, and when he met her she followed and abused him. This was at half-past 12, and he asked her what she was doing at that time of night. She replied that she was going to her lodgings and that if he followed her she would have him locked up. On a previous occasion he had asked her to come back home, but she swore she would not and threw her ring at him. On two occasions he had found her at public houses, and once she was lying drunk near a pond. He had a witness to prove that he did not threaten her life on Saturday night. Complainant said her husband on one occasion threatened her life three times in bed, and he once knocked her down at the Cotton Gunpowder Works, where they worked. This the prisoner also denied, and ent on to state that his wife had been forewoman at the Cotton Gunpowder Works, where he also had been employed as engine-driver. She got him the berth and he supposed she also got him turned away. He repeated that he never threatened her, and said he thought too much of her for that, but she had not been what a wife ought to be to him. Still he was willing to take her back and she would not come. Mr. Hilton having said he would hear the prisoner's witness, John Austen deposed that he was with prisoner on Saturday night till half-past 12. They met the complainant, who abused her husband all the way down the street, and said she would have him locked up before the night was out. IN answer to the Magistrates the Complainant said it was half-past 11 when her husband threatened her. The witness said he was with the prisoner at that time and did not hear him make use of any threat. The magistrate told complaininant it was a serious thing to swear the peace against her husband; it would be putting a barrier between them which might prevent their ever coming together again. The complainant, however, persisted in her application, and said she would never live with her husband again. Mr. Hilton advised her to think again, reminded her that there was before him the evidence of a credible witness who said the prisoner did not threaten her and that she was walking the streets late at night which was anything but creditable to a married woman. However, if she persisted he had no opinion but to bind her husband over to keep the peace. Complainant did persist and her husband was bound himself in GB10 and required to find one surety in GB5 to keep the peace for three months. The surety accepted was George Duncan, the complainant's brother-in-law. The prisoner was released from custody but had to pay 12s 11d costs.

      At the County Police Court on Tuesday, Henry Kearn was charged with threatening the life of his wife, at Preston, on October 28th. It appeared that the woman had left her husband of her own accord, and her conduct has been such that it was with evident reluctance the magistrate (Mr. Hilton) bound the man over, but he said he had no option as the woman persisted in her request.

      AN OLD GRIEVANCE.

      Maria Lewis, married woman, of West Street, Faversham, was summoned by Ann Bodeker, of 3, Gatefield Lane, to show cause why she should not fine sureties to keep the peace and be of good behaviour. - Complaintant (Ann) stated that a grievance had existed between her and the defendant for ten or twleve years. Defendant had recently threatened to rip her open and cut her heart out. In consequence she (Ann) was afraid of her life. - Defendant (Maria) alleged that complainant went to London with her (defendant's) husband in a barge, and that notes were continually passing between them. Defendant (Maria) accused the complainant (Ann) with gross improprieties with her husband. She admitted saying to the complainant that she had stripped her once, and would again if she had the chance. - The Bench adjourned the case for a month in order for the complainant (Ann) to produce additional evidence as to the threats.

      APPLICATION FOR SURETIES OF THE PEACE.

      Maria Lewis of West St., appeared to an adjourned summons issued at the instance of a woman who gave the name of Ann Bodiker, who complained that the defendant had threatened her life, and applied that she might be bound over to keep the peace. This case was before the Bench last month, when the complainant enumerated the threats which she alleged the defendant had used to her, the defendant pleaded provocation if she had committed any offence, alleging improper intimacy between her husband and the complainant (Ann), and the case was adjourned for the complainant (Ann) to produce corroborative evidence. She now called Alfred Bodker, who said he heard the defendant threaten his "missus." She also stepped inside his door. - The defendant (Maria) here stated that the complainant (Ann) had come there in a false name; she lived with the last Witness, but her name was not Bodiker at all; she was married, but her husband would not live with her because of the proceedings between her and her (defendant's) husband. - The Mayor (to complainant (Ann)): You have given your evidence in the name of Ann Bodiker; is that your name? No, my name is Ann Kearns. As far as I know, my husband is living, but I have not seen him for many years, and I am known by the name of Bodiker. - The Mayor said there was sufficient evidence to show that the defendant made use of threats to the complainant, and however much she might have been vexed and annoyed by that woman, it was not for her to threaten her. In dealing with the case, however, the magistrates would mark their sense of what had transpired by calling upon the defendant to enter into her own recognisances in the sum of GB10, and to find one surety in the sum of GB5, to keep the peace for six months. The required surety was at once found, and the parties left the court.
