Description
Above is a photograph that is in possession of and was shared by St. Petrock's Church. It depicts the men and boys of the church choir in 1885, along with the then vicar, Rev. Robert James Crosswell. At some point, the photograph was mounted on backing within a red border and placed in a gold frame. The handwritten attachment shown below the photograph was preserved separately, identifying eight of the thirteen gentlemen. Written below is the information, "First Time Surplices & Cassocks were worn". The group is gathered in front of St. Petrock's North Porch, built around1450 (1).
Rev. Crosswell stands in the centre of the back row. Born in 1838 at North Petherton, Somerset, Robert James Crosswell was the son of Thomas Simmons and Sarah (nee Deverell) Crosswell. The elder Mr. Crosswell was a Schoolmaster (2). On 21 April 1868, Robert married Blanche Nicolette in South Petherton, with his profession entered on the marriage certificate as "Clerk in Holy Orders" (3). By that point he had served as a Curate in the hamlet of Steeple (later merged with the village of Tyneham) in Dorset. By 1871 Crosswell was the Curate at St. John the Baptist in Bridgwater. In 1876, he became vicar at St. Petrocks (4). Arriving at Timberscombe, Rev. and Mrs Crosswell moved into the Vicarage (now divided into flats and known as the Old Vicarage) with their two daughters, Flora Nicolette and Cicely Eveline (5). Robert James Crosswell remained at St. Petrock's until his death in 1900. Blanche died in 1902 and their daughter, Cicely died in 1903. All three are buried at the St. Petrock's Churchyard. The stained glass window on the north wall of the St. Petrock's chancel was dedicated to Rev. Crosswell (6).
On the left end of the back row, the dark-haired young man identified as "Mr. J. BLACKMORE" is John Blackmore, born 22 January 1871 (7) in Cutcombe to George Blackmore, a Carpenter and Elizabeth (nee Hale) Blackmore, who was born in Timberscombe (8). Her parents were John and Eliza (nee Quick) Hale and Elizabeth was an older sister of Jane Hale, who married Samuel Stenner of Timberscombe in 1883 , where they became the proprietors of the Lion Inn (9). Like his father, John Blackmore became a carpenter and by 1897 had left Timberscombe, when he married Florence Jane Brewer at St. Luke's in Chelsea, Kensington, London (10). They settled in Fulham , London, where John passed away in 1940 and Florence lived until the age of 97, dying in 1970 (11).
To the right ofJohn Blackmore is the distinctly bearded man identified as "R. WILLIAMS (Postman)". He is Robert Williams, born in Timberscombe about 1841. When he was 10 years old, he lived with his grandparents, James and Jane Williams and their son, John, only six years older than Robert (12). At the age of 20, Robert worked as a servant for William and Mary Palfrey and their three daughters at Slade Farm (13) and when he was 28 married Sarah Jane Priscot, then living in Dunster, at St. Petrock's. On the marriage certificate, Robert listed himself as a Labourer (14). While labeled as a Postman on this 1885 photograph, Mr. Williams did not list that as his profession until the 1901 Census. Robert Williams died in 1910, when living at The Knapp on Church Street in Timberscombe. Sarah Jane Williams was still there when The Knapp was sold as part of the 1916 Auction of the Knowle Estate (15). One hopes she was not made to move as she died in 1917. Sarah Jane and Robert Williams were buried in adjoining plots at St. Petrock's (16).
Standing to the left of the vicar is "Mr. J FARMER", being Joseph Farmer. Not long after this photograph was taken, on the 15th October 1886, he will be married by Rev. Crosswell to Elizabeth Ann Moles from Cutcombe (17). Mr. Farmer was born April 1861, in Carhampton, to Issac and Eliza (nee Sparks) Farmer. His father was a Shoe Maker (18). Joseph became an Agricultural Labourer and when married to Elizabeth, they moved to Ford Cottage, near Ford Bridge at Timberscombe (19) and later relocated to the former Hill Cottage (it was demolished in 1979) at Hole's Square (20). Mrs. Farmer died in 1927 (21) and as a widower, Mr. Farmer lived at the Old Forge (22). They are buried together at St. Petrock's (23).
To the right of Rev. Crosswell is the gentleman identified as "Mr. JAMES (Policeman)". Unfortunately at this time there is no further information on him. To his right, identified as "Mr. OVERMASS (Schoolmaster)", is Samuel (Sam) Small Overmass, born in 1856 at Seaton, Devon, the youngest of the five children of Samuel and Sarah (nee Webber) Overmass (24). Both of his parents were tailors. By the 1871 Census, Sam's sister, Ellen, aged 18, was listed as a School Mistress and at the age of 16 he was a "Pupil Teacher". In 1880, Sam married Mary Ann Taylor at West Ham, Essex, London (25), at which time he was likely already the Schoolmaster at West Matfen in Northumberland (26). Sam and Mary Ann had a son, Walter Seaton Overmass, born in 1881 at Newcastle on Lyne (27). On the 9th of January 1882, Overmass was appointed Schoolmaster at the Timberscombe School, where his wife became the Schoolmistress. Fittingly perhaps, pictured here as a choir member, early in his term at Timberscombe, Sam Overmass wrote "I find several children have no voice for singing--consequently told them to be silent! (28)".
While in Timberscombe, Sam and Mary Ann had three more children, Clarence Norman, born in 1884, Hilda May, born in 1890 and Olive Millicent, born in 1894 (29). Samuel Small Overmass died, while serving as Schoolmaster, on 21 February 1904, aged 48 years. The school closed and he was buried at St. Petrock's on 25 February (30). Timberscombe School reopened on 29 February 1904, with Mary Ann Overmass as Head Teacher, a position she held until June of that year, when John Talbot became the new Schoolmaster (31).
In August 1906, Mary Ann's son, Clarence Overmass, enlisted with the 18th Queen Mary's Own Hussars. On the 15th August 1914, eleven days after Britain entered World War I, Clarence extended his service into "The Theatre of War", staying on with the Hussars (32). Between the 15th and the 18th of October 1916, at the age of 32 and holding the rank of Sergeant, Clarence Overmass died (33). He had been discharged on 16 May 1916 as no longer fit for service (34). It is not clear exactly how or where he died, but on the 11th of November 1918 "Sgt. Clarence N. Overmass" was listed on the ROLL OF INDIVIDUALS as entitled to a Victory Medal and /or the British War Medal granted under Army Orders (35). His mother applied to the British Army for a Clasp, in respect to Clarence's service. A Clasp was given on a medal to denote participation in a major ground conflict, implying Clarence was likely wounded in battle, resulting in his later death. The Clasp was issued to Mary Ann Overmass in February 1920 (36). Clarence was buried at the Bromley Hill Cemetery in the London Borough of Bromley, with his gravestone engraved "CLARENCE NORMAN OVERMASS, SERGEANT 18th (QUEEN MARY'S OWN) HUSSARS WHO GAVE HIS LIFE FOR HIS COUNTRY 15 OCTOBER 1916 AGED 32 (37)". His mother may have died in 1939, at the age of 84 and is possibly buried at St. Mary's 2 Church in Staines, Middlesex (38).
The young man to the right of Mr. Overmass is not identified. The first boy on the left end of the front row is identified as "Walter YEANDLE". There is a bit of mystery as there was a Walter John Yeandle, who was born and died on the 5th October 1878 in Timberscombe and was buried by Rev. Robert James Crosswell (39). This child was buried at St. Petrock's Churchyard (40) and Civil Registration Birth and Death Index certificates exist for Walter John Yeandle, dying on the same day in October 1878 (41). There also is a Civil Registration Birth Index certificate issued for a Walter John Yeandle born in October, November or December 1877 (42).
The Walter born in 1877 is likely the Walter John Yeandle pictured here in the choir, identified as the son of Thomas Yeandle and his wife Sarah (nee Bowden) Yeandle (43). Thomas, born in Timberscombe as the eldest child of Robert, a Road Contractor, and Harriet (nee Chapman) Yeandle, was baptised at St. Petrock's on 28 January 1855 (44). Also at St. Petrock's, on the 15th of May 1875, Thomas Yeandle married Sarah Bowden, also born in Timberscombe (45). On the 1881 Census, Thomas Yeandle was working as an Iron Miner and he and Sarah have a one-year-old son, William Henry Yeandle. Other sources indicate that they had a first son, being Walter John Yeandle, born in 1878, which is likely confused with the 1878 birth of the infant, Walter John Yeandle who died on the same day (46). On the same 1881 Census, Robert and Harriet Yeandle, the parents of Thomas have a three-year-old grandson, "Willie" Yeandle living with them, presumably the first child of their son and Sarah, going by a pet name. This boy, aged 13, is still with his grandparents on the 1891 Census, only now called Walter John Yeandle. If he is the boy in the choir photograph, he would only be about eight-years-old. His face appears mature for one that young, but his size certainly could be that of a boy around that age.
On the 1901 Census, 23-year-old Walter was still living with his grandparents, Robert and Harriet, but is listed for the first time as their son--not grandson. He is in Pitminster (about four miles southwest of Taunton) on the 4th of April 1904, to marry Bessie Shire. On the marriage certificate, Walter is now also working as a Road Contractor, with Robert listed as his father (47). Harriet Yeandle had died in 1902 and Robert died in 1911 (48). They are both buried at St. Petrock's (49). Thomas Yeandle, the birth father of Walter John, died in 1924 (50) and Sarah, his birth mother, had passed away in 1901 (51).
By the 1939 England and Wales Register, 62-year old Walter John and Bessie Yeandle were living at 1 Jubilee Street in Timberscombe and he was still working, upgraded to Road Foreman. And on the Register, he lists his birthday as 8 November 1877, signifying him as the infant named WalterJohn Yeandle born in that year. Mr. Yeandle died in 1954 and Bessie Yeandle died in 1955 (52). At the time of this summary the paternity of the baby named Walter John Yeandle, who lived only for that short while on the 5th of October 1878, is not yet determined.
The only other boy named on the front row is on the right end, identified as "S. Dorey". He is likely Solomon James Dorey, born 22 May 1872 in Tiverton, Devon (53), also the birthplace of his mother, Hannah Maria (nee Maunder, also seen as Maundy) Dorey. His father, James Dorey, born in London, was a Licensed Hawker (54). Solomon would have been around 13-years-old when the choir photograph was taken. He did have a brother, Stephen Dorey, seven years younger than him, so less likely to be the S. Dorey in the photograph. By the age of 19, Solomon was boarding with a family in Porlock and working as a General Labourer (55). During the Registration Quarter of July, August and September 1894, he was in Ormskirk, Lancashire, apparently marrying--but who he married is not clear. A Civil Registration Marriage Index, Volume 8b, page 12B suggests it could have been Jane Ann Conley. At the same place, in the same quarter, on the Civil Registration Marriage Index, Volume 8b, page 128b, Solomon James Dorey is marrying Mary Bridget Elizabeth O'Brien. Toward the end of the century, Solomon is in Devon at Bideford, with his wife listed as "Annie", born about 1866 in Ireland--which matches some records for Mary O' Brien (56). Regardless, Bideford is where Solomon's son, James Thomas Dorey was born in 1898 (57).
It appears that Solomon's wife and James' mother died in 1910 at St. Thomas, an area of the city of Exeter in Devon (58). On the 1911 Census, James was attending school and living with members of the Maunder family (his paternal grandmother's family) at St. Thomas. At a young age, he emigrated to Canada, serving with the Canadian Expeditionary Force during World War I. He died in 1937 and was buried at the Victoria Lawn Cemetary in Ontario (59).
Solomon James Dorey married again in 1919 at Bristol. His new wife was a widow, Rosina Courtice (60), born Rosina Hall in 1873 on Bread Street in Bristol (61). She died in Bristol in 1955 with Solomon preceding her in 1946 (62), seemingly a long way from the young choir boy in the photograph.
Rev. Crosswell stands in the centre of the back row. Born in 1838 at North Petherton, Somerset, Robert James Crosswell was the son of Thomas Simmons and Sarah (nee Deverell) Crosswell. The elder Mr. Crosswell was a Schoolmaster (2). On 21 April 1868, Robert married Blanche Nicolette in South Petherton, with his profession entered on the marriage certificate as "Clerk in Holy Orders" (3). By that point he had served as a Curate in the hamlet of Steeple (later merged with the village of Tyneham) in Dorset. By 1871 Crosswell was the Curate at St. John the Baptist in Bridgwater. In 1876, he became vicar at St. Petrocks (4). Arriving at Timberscombe, Rev. and Mrs Crosswell moved into the Vicarage (now divided into flats and known as the Old Vicarage) with their two daughters, Flora Nicolette and Cicely Eveline (5). Robert James Crosswell remained at St. Petrock's until his death in 1900. Blanche died in 1902 and their daughter, Cicely died in 1903. All three are buried at the St. Petrock's Churchyard. The stained glass window on the north wall of the St. Petrock's chancel was dedicated to Rev. Crosswell (6).
On the left end of the back row, the dark-haired young man identified as "Mr. J. BLACKMORE" is John Blackmore, born 22 January 1871 (7) in Cutcombe to George Blackmore, a Carpenter and Elizabeth (nee Hale) Blackmore, who was born in Timberscombe (8). Her parents were John and Eliza (nee Quick) Hale and Elizabeth was an older sister of Jane Hale, who married Samuel Stenner of Timberscombe in 1883 , where they became the proprietors of the Lion Inn (9). Like his father, John Blackmore became a carpenter and by 1897 had left Timberscombe, when he married Florence Jane Brewer at St. Luke's in Chelsea, Kensington, London (10). They settled in Fulham , London, where John passed away in 1940 and Florence lived until the age of 97, dying in 1970 (11).
To the right ofJohn Blackmore is the distinctly bearded man identified as "R. WILLIAMS (Postman)". He is Robert Williams, born in Timberscombe about 1841. When he was 10 years old, he lived with his grandparents, James and Jane Williams and their son, John, only six years older than Robert (12). At the age of 20, Robert worked as a servant for William and Mary Palfrey and their three daughters at Slade Farm (13) and when he was 28 married Sarah Jane Priscot, then living in Dunster, at St. Petrock's. On the marriage certificate, Robert listed himself as a Labourer (14). While labeled as a Postman on this 1885 photograph, Mr. Williams did not list that as his profession until the 1901 Census. Robert Williams died in 1910, when living at The Knapp on Church Street in Timberscombe. Sarah Jane Williams was still there when The Knapp was sold as part of the 1916 Auction of the Knowle Estate (15). One hopes she was not made to move as she died in 1917. Sarah Jane and Robert Williams were buried in adjoining plots at St. Petrock's (16).
Standing to the left of the vicar is "Mr. J FARMER", being Joseph Farmer. Not long after this photograph was taken, on the 15th October 1886, he will be married by Rev. Crosswell to Elizabeth Ann Moles from Cutcombe (17). Mr. Farmer was born April 1861, in Carhampton, to Issac and Eliza (nee Sparks) Farmer. His father was a Shoe Maker (18). Joseph became an Agricultural Labourer and when married to Elizabeth, they moved to Ford Cottage, near Ford Bridge at Timberscombe (19) and later relocated to the former Hill Cottage (it was demolished in 1979) at Hole's Square (20). Mrs. Farmer died in 1927 (21) and as a widower, Mr. Farmer lived at the Old Forge (22). They are buried together at St. Petrock's (23).
To the right of Rev. Crosswell is the gentleman identified as "Mr. JAMES (Policeman)". Unfortunately at this time there is no further information on him. To his right, identified as "Mr. OVERMASS (Schoolmaster)", is Samuel (Sam) Small Overmass, born in 1856 at Seaton, Devon, the youngest of the five children of Samuel and Sarah (nee Webber) Overmass (24). Both of his parents were tailors. By the 1871 Census, Sam's sister, Ellen, aged 18, was listed as a School Mistress and at the age of 16 he was a "Pupil Teacher". In 1880, Sam married Mary Ann Taylor at West Ham, Essex, London (25), at which time he was likely already the Schoolmaster at West Matfen in Northumberland (26). Sam and Mary Ann had a son, Walter Seaton Overmass, born in 1881 at Newcastle on Lyne (27). On the 9th of January 1882, Overmass was appointed Schoolmaster at the Timberscombe School, where his wife became the Schoolmistress. Fittingly perhaps, pictured here as a choir member, early in his term at Timberscombe, Sam Overmass wrote "I find several children have no voice for singing--consequently told them to be silent! (28)".
While in Timberscombe, Sam and Mary Ann had three more children, Clarence Norman, born in 1884, Hilda May, born in 1890 and Olive Millicent, born in 1894 (29). Samuel Small Overmass died, while serving as Schoolmaster, on 21 February 1904, aged 48 years. The school closed and he was buried at St. Petrock's on 25 February (30). Timberscombe School reopened on 29 February 1904, with Mary Ann Overmass as Head Teacher, a position she held until June of that year, when John Talbot became the new Schoolmaster (31).
In August 1906, Mary Ann's son, Clarence Overmass, enlisted with the 18th Queen Mary's Own Hussars. On the 15th August 1914, eleven days after Britain entered World War I, Clarence extended his service into "The Theatre of War", staying on with the Hussars (32). Between the 15th and the 18th of October 1916, at the age of 32 and holding the rank of Sergeant, Clarence Overmass died (33). He had been discharged on 16 May 1916 as no longer fit for service (34). It is not clear exactly how or where he died, but on the 11th of November 1918 "Sgt. Clarence N. Overmass" was listed on the ROLL OF INDIVIDUALS as entitled to a Victory Medal and /or the British War Medal granted under Army Orders (35). His mother applied to the British Army for a Clasp, in respect to Clarence's service. A Clasp was given on a medal to denote participation in a major ground conflict, implying Clarence was likely wounded in battle, resulting in his later death. The Clasp was issued to Mary Ann Overmass in February 1920 (36). Clarence was buried at the Bromley Hill Cemetery in the London Borough of Bromley, with his gravestone engraved "CLARENCE NORMAN OVERMASS, SERGEANT 18th (QUEEN MARY'S OWN) HUSSARS WHO GAVE HIS LIFE FOR HIS COUNTRY 15 OCTOBER 1916 AGED 32 (37)". His mother may have died in 1939, at the age of 84 and is possibly buried at St. Mary's 2 Church in Staines, Middlesex (38).
The young man to the right of Mr. Overmass is not identified. The first boy on the left end of the front row is identified as "Walter YEANDLE". There is a bit of mystery as there was a Walter John Yeandle, who was born and died on the 5th October 1878 in Timberscombe and was buried by Rev. Robert James Crosswell (39). This child was buried at St. Petrock's Churchyard (40) and Civil Registration Birth and Death Index certificates exist for Walter John Yeandle, dying on the same day in October 1878 (41). There also is a Civil Registration Birth Index certificate issued for a Walter John Yeandle born in October, November or December 1877 (42).
The Walter born in 1877 is likely the Walter John Yeandle pictured here in the choir, identified as the son of Thomas Yeandle and his wife Sarah (nee Bowden) Yeandle (43). Thomas, born in Timberscombe as the eldest child of Robert, a Road Contractor, and Harriet (nee Chapman) Yeandle, was baptised at St. Petrock's on 28 January 1855 (44). Also at St. Petrock's, on the 15th of May 1875, Thomas Yeandle married Sarah Bowden, also born in Timberscombe (45). On the 1881 Census, Thomas Yeandle was working as an Iron Miner and he and Sarah have a one-year-old son, William Henry Yeandle. Other sources indicate that they had a first son, being Walter John Yeandle, born in 1878, which is likely confused with the 1878 birth of the infant, Walter John Yeandle who died on the same day (46). On the same 1881 Census, Robert and Harriet Yeandle, the parents of Thomas have a three-year-old grandson, "Willie" Yeandle living with them, presumably the first child of their son and Sarah, going by a pet name. This boy, aged 13, is still with his grandparents on the 1891 Census, only now called Walter John Yeandle. If he is the boy in the choir photograph, he would only be about eight-years-old. His face appears mature for one that young, but his size certainly could be that of a boy around that age.
On the 1901 Census, 23-year-old Walter was still living with his grandparents, Robert and Harriet, but is listed for the first time as their son--not grandson. He is in Pitminster (about four miles southwest of Taunton) on the 4th of April 1904, to marry Bessie Shire. On the marriage certificate, Walter is now also working as a Road Contractor, with Robert listed as his father (47). Harriet Yeandle had died in 1902 and Robert died in 1911 (48). They are both buried at St. Petrock's (49). Thomas Yeandle, the birth father of Walter John, died in 1924 (50) and Sarah, his birth mother, had passed away in 1901 (51).
By the 1939 England and Wales Register, 62-year old Walter John and Bessie Yeandle were living at 1 Jubilee Street in Timberscombe and he was still working, upgraded to Road Foreman. And on the Register, he lists his birthday as 8 November 1877, signifying him as the infant named WalterJohn Yeandle born in that year. Mr. Yeandle died in 1954 and Bessie Yeandle died in 1955 (52). At the time of this summary the paternity of the baby named Walter John Yeandle, who lived only for that short while on the 5th of October 1878, is not yet determined.
The only other boy named on the front row is on the right end, identified as "S. Dorey". He is likely Solomon James Dorey, born 22 May 1872 in Tiverton, Devon (53), also the birthplace of his mother, Hannah Maria (nee Maunder, also seen as Maundy) Dorey. His father, James Dorey, born in London, was a Licensed Hawker (54). Solomon would have been around 13-years-old when the choir photograph was taken. He did have a brother, Stephen Dorey, seven years younger than him, so less likely to be the S. Dorey in the photograph. By the age of 19, Solomon was boarding with a family in Porlock and working as a General Labourer (55). During the Registration Quarter of July, August and September 1894, he was in Ormskirk, Lancashire, apparently marrying--but who he married is not clear. A Civil Registration Marriage Index, Volume 8b, page 12B suggests it could have been Jane Ann Conley. At the same place, in the same quarter, on the Civil Registration Marriage Index, Volume 8b, page 128b, Solomon James Dorey is marrying Mary Bridget Elizabeth O'Brien. Toward the end of the century, Solomon is in Devon at Bideford, with his wife listed as "Annie", born about 1866 in Ireland--which matches some records for Mary O' Brien (56). Regardless, Bideford is where Solomon's son, James Thomas Dorey was born in 1898 (57).
It appears that Solomon's wife and James' mother died in 1910 at St. Thomas, an area of the city of Exeter in Devon (58). On the 1911 Census, James was attending school and living with members of the Maunder family (his paternal grandmother's family) at St. Thomas. At a young age, he emigrated to Canada, serving with the Canadian Expeditionary Force during World War I. He died in 1937 and was buried at the Victoria Lawn Cemetary in Ontario (59).
Solomon James Dorey married again in 1919 at Bristol. His new wife was a widow, Rosina Courtice (60), born Rosina Hall in 1873 on Bread Street in Bristol (61). She died in Bristol in 1955 with Solomon preceding her in 1946 (62), seemingly a long way from the young choir boy in the photograph.
