Joseph Chesterman

Joseph Chesterman and Elizabeth Robinson.



They married in Wellingborough March 1845.They are the parents of Charles Frederick Chesterman.

There is a letter from Clara Bosworth to her brother Thomas Wright Bosworth and his wife Matilda in the National Archives in which is mentioned.
Cousin Elizabeth - Elizabeth Robinson, a sister of JH, Joseph Henry and Mary Ann, Mrs Kimbell. She married Joseph Chesterman in 1845.]
here more from this letter Selina Bosworth Owen, 'your affectionate neice', Thrussington vicarage, to Matilda Bosworth
She hopes Matilda Bosworth is better and is glad to find uncle well. Mrs Beasley's bailiff has been very ill of a fever 'which seems to have been very prevalent about you'.
She is sure 'darling Helen' is a 'sweet interesting little creature'.
She has been staying Barkby. 'Mr Hoare and Ellen brought Matilda home', she could not go back with them because of toothache.
She went with Papa to Leicester to have her tooth drawn, a 'dreadful operation'.
Mr Watts was at Barkby and also Mr Knight [Knight of Thurmaston/Thurcaston] a great friend of John Hoares. It is the week of Edward Hoare's examination and everyone is in a state, she fears he won't pass despite all his advantages and tutors.
'I am going to iron'.
they have had tea at the Simpkins and had a singing lesson. They also went to Tom Simpkins and saw the c
hairs worked on for Mr & Mrs S.

'Shalmerdine gave Mrs T. Simpkins a private lesson last night, she being poorley'. Mrs Fell thinks the current style of singing seems difficult

'I am sure some of the children will never understand it'. Many people came to hear the last session 'and to quizz'. Some of Shalmerdine's class of Melton will come too 'when we get on a little farther'. Mrs Fell sings nicely and sweetly, she plans to visit them soon. 'We are going to Rotherby with her some day, she is a capital clergyman's wife.'

Emma and Agnes Morgan have called and will be coming to tea.

It is Matty's birthday next Wednesday 'I shall be one and twenty.'

Papa has just had a note from Barkby saying that old Mr Hoare has died, he had seemed well. Mrs H 'will sink under her heavy trial' 'Mr Hoare of Barkley will now be paps vicar'.

She has had a letter from aunt Clara, she has borne the severe weather well.

The Tookeys have gone to Dumbleton but Clara thinks they will not go to Cheltenham, 'I thought we should have had them before they went there'.

Mr Barker drove his dear friend Mrs Bowman and others to see them. Mrs B is just the same as ever.

Cousin Elizabeth has been troubled with headaches.

'I suppose you have heard of Mrs Kimble being in the fashionable way of all married ladies, Lizzy says I will give you her words that Peter is very much pleased. She has heard a long account of a party they had been to at Mr Sharmans, 'an ironmonger at Wellingborough.'

Joseph Henry, 'has been quite an invalid for some time'. She wonders if Mrs Kimbell has ever thanked her for her present, she has had no word about hers.

Mrs Bowman gave a present that cost 3 guineas.

Has she heard from Mrs Bishop ?

Her love to Mr Jones etc.
