William Hide

We try to find as much as possible on the internet about people mentioned in the blog .

So we did copy a lot about the Hide family .

And the writer wrote us and explains herself the family ties .
Henry Priaulx married Amelia Hide, Amelia's brother William Hide was my Gt. Gt. Gt. Gt. Grandfather. 

William born October 1770 in Sussex, (I believe not proven), married Town Church, St Peter Port Guernsey, Channel Islands, Marianne Le Lacheur on 29 July 1820.

Amelia and Henry married 10 April 1828 Town Church.

Soon after the family of William and Marianne and Henry and Amelia sailed on the ship "Wave" of which William was the Captain to Tasmania.

The records of the ship passengers do not indicate Amelia and Henry went on the same boat.

However, a newspaper report by another person much later on stated that Henry arrived on the ship the Wave in 1828.

It seems likely that this is correct.

William did not take up this land request but Henry did.

William instead returned home to live on Guernsey at La Porte King's Mills.

William had a son born at sea during the trip, William George Davey christened in Hobart Tasmania as George, then rechristened as W G D on Guernsey.

This son when he grew up returned to Hobart and possibly lived with his Uncle, as he also worked at the Commissariat in Tasmania.

WGD moved to Melbourne, Victoria when the gold rush developed and married an Irish lass, a Bullen related to Queen Anne Boleyn.

They had a son William George Henry and he had a son William Walter Wallace Washington Hide named after WGD's brothers born Guernsey and he had my father William George Hide.

I was Leonie Elizabeth Hide now Freeman.
Elizabeth Phillips mother of Amelia and William, was the daughter of Thomas Phillips and Eleanor Bond. 

She was born St Austell, Cornwall and married William Hide St Peter Port, Guernsey, 3rd June 1795.
The Phillips family with related families from Guernsey moved to Prince Edward Island, Canada in 1805 on the "Neptune".

Have not proven Elizabeth went out there as she remarried Guernsey 1907, although a grave on PEI apparently had all her details but, with a date well after her will was proven in London. This remains a mystery!

Mrs Vlieland C.B.E

Saturday 01 January 1927 Exeter and Plymouth Gazette (extract)


No honour in the list is more thoroughly deserved than that. of the Commander of the Order of the British Empire which has been bestowed on Mrs. C. J. Vlieland, of Southernhay, Exeter, and it will give genuine satisfaction to her large circle of friends and those among whom he has worked so hard. The honour has undoubtedly to a great extent been given to Mrs. Vlieland in recognition of her untiring and unselfish work among the mothers and children of Exeter.

It is now 21 years since Mrs. Vlieland and a number of other’ enthusiastic members of the National Union of Women Workers embarked upon their infant welfare work in the city. The work was that of pioneers, for Exeter’s first infant Welfare Centre was started in the same year that the first similar organisation in London-St. Pancras -was established. ...

Mrs. Vlieland was one of the first lady Governors of the Royal Devon. and Exeter Hospital, for which her husband has done valuable work. She is also President of the Exeter Blanket Charity and a member of the Exeter Lying in Charity. In another phase of public work Mrs. Vlieland has done yeoman work. We refer to her work for the Conservative Party in Exeter. Up to quite recently she has been Chairman for a good many years of the women’s branch of the Conservative and Unionist Association.

Wednesday 11 December 1929 - Exeter and Plymouth Gazette (extract)

The Court having been opened, the Town Clerk read the resolution of the Council in regard to the freemanship. It recorded that Mrs. Alice Edith Vlieland, C.B.E., be admitted an honorary freeman of the City and County of the City of Exeter in recognition of the eminent services rendered by her to the city, and that a record of such admission be illuminated and suitably framed for presentation …

Mayoral Tribute “You, Mrs Vlieland, have devoted your life to the welfare of the city (Hear, Hear)…during the whole of the years that have passed you have devoted practically the whole of your life to those who have needed it most, to the helpless little children, especially the children of the poor, those who, without your help would not have bad half the chance of life your work has enabled them to have.”

Some Quakers have founded banks and financial institutions including Barclays, Lloyds, and Friends Provident; manufacturing companies including Clarks, Cadbury, Rowntree, and Fry's; and philanthropic efforts, including abolition, prison reform, and social justice projects.

Samuel Vlieland Candler

Trying to find the East lodge in Crook we found a reference to Samuel Vlieland Candler born Jun 1863 Henstead and death in Newcastle upon Tyne 1929

He was the son of Lawrence Candler and Anna Maria Vlieland.
entree in the Tasburgh baptism register.

690 12/04/1863 Isabel CANDLER Lawrence CANDLER Miller Anna Maria
691 12/04/1863 Thomas Edward CANDLER Lawrence CANDLER Miller Anna Maria
692 12/04/1863 Samuel Vlieland CANDLER Lawrence CANDLER Miller Anna Maria
Baptisms 1813 to 1880 we find 3 Candlers baptised on the same date.
The parish of Tasburgh lies in central southern Norfolk south of the city of Norwich and adjacent to the main A140 road which links Norwich with Ipswich. As its name suggests the village lies in the River Tas valley. The village is built on slightly higher ground in the angle between the Tas and a major tributary arriving from the east. The heart of the village lies on an westward leading lane off the A140 and running just above the flood plain on dry ground.

St Mary's church is old possible Anglo-Saxon in part as evidenced by the well preserved round tower which is often indicative of an early date. The church, built at the western end of the village, sits in a pleasant churchyard with views over the Tas valley. Other than the tower the main body of the church is typical Norfolk Perpendicular with the almost obligatory Victorian improvements, in this case an excellent hammerbeam roof.

Mr. R. H. Oughton was appointed to draw up plans 

and specifications for the extensions, and in this work 
he had an able assistant in Mr. Samuel Candler, a son of 
the late Mr. L. Candler, East Lodge. Mr. S. Candler is 
at the present time a valued member of the committee. 

And about the Mechanics' Institute Crook .
In the last few years many improvements have been made.
The building contains a large public hall, holding seven hundred persons, a library of nearly one thousand three hundred volumes, reading room and ante-rooms, and a bilhard room containing two tables. The billiard players attached to the place have always been of more than average local ability.
The membership varies from two hundred and fifty to three hundred,
paying an annual subscription of four shillings ; ladies paying two shillings.
Mr. Edward Milburn, now residing at Tow Law, was secretary for some years.
He was succeeded by Mr. Thomas Burnip, the present respected secretary of the local Co-operative Society.
Mr. Burnip held the post of secretary for twenty-seven years, and much of the
success attaching to the Institute has been the result of his capable handling of its affairs.
Mr. E. F. Peart is the present secretary, and Mr. Samuel Candler, a prominent townsman, is president.
The Institute possesses a handsome cup, valued at fifty-five guineas, which was won outright in a miners' billiard competition some years ago.
The billiard team, since that success, has also won the Bishop Auckland and
District League championship on five occasions, and the Crook and District League once.

he married Margaret Ellen Brougham on the 24 December 1888 in Durham .
The was a special license needed because the bride was to young.
Their son is Arnold Brougham Candler born dec 1889.Auckland.

gunboat

Rereading the text of yesterday .This passage made me try and find out once more about ship and captain.
Silliman says - our packet was called the Johanna Wilhelmina (Captain Vlieland.)

=This very packet was built for a gun-boat for the invasion of England ; she was taken in action by the English, purchased of them by a Dutch captain, and converted into a packet to sail between Rotterdam and London. She was however, in every respect inferior to the American gunboats., except that she was deeper in the hold, but, still we could not any where stand upright.=

Back to our gunboat in Dutch kanonneerboot.

Not many gunboats were auctioned of .

These are the only ones to be found in the newspapers.

1801

In 1805 we find 

NICOLAUS MONTAUBAN VAN SWYNDREGT en WILLEM VAN DAM J.H.Zoon, Makelaars, zullen, op HEDEN den 12 Maart 1805, 's namiddags ten 3 uren, Rotterdam, in 't Logement het Zwynshoofd, aan den meest biedenden, (zonder Afding) verkoopsn, een extra welbezeild BOMSCHlP, genaamd JOHANNA WILHELMINA, laatst gevoerd door Schipper Ary Vlieland, lang over Steven 37 voeten. hol 9 voetenenl duim, wyd, i9voeten.

which means .
The ship Johanna Wilhelmina last sailed by captain A Vlieland will be sold on 12 March 1805 Rotterdam.

More about the Johanna Wilhelmina
and the passage to Rotterdam .
Lloyds registers 
and more about the Wilhelmina which is probably the same ship.

There was even a gunboatwar during the Napoleontic war .

Harwich

Mixing holiday and hobby we ended up in Harwich .
The story of captain Vlieland who sailed from Harwich to Holland on his converted ship is told by Benjamin Silliman.
We did see the things he mentioned in this book ,as the custom house and the pier are still there .

they are 16th century so not from captain Vlieland.
