1501 House near Ted's orchard; his house blew over, on the ridge near Ti Tree Hill. - Alvin's note, 24 Apr 1972.

29 May 1998. In the map that I've recently xeroxed, a house is shown in the sou-west corner of Lot 149 as 'Torkington's house'. Ted believes that this is William Torkington's house. See James Torkington. -- Alvin

This would mean an age at death of 89, not 95 as give in BDM and death notice, so perhaps this is not correct.

"Jemima's birth date is from the family bible with no surname or place of origin. No baptism for Jemima BILTON has been found, and she may have been Jemima SANDS daughter of Elizabeth SANDS baptised on 21 Dec 1777, at Trusthorpe, Lincolnshire. [Baptism date matches birthdate in family bible.] Had Elizabeth been unmarried the register is likely to have stated 'bastard,' so it appears that Jemima's father was deceased, mirroring the circumstances of Jemima's own daughter's baptism in 1799.

John Skipworth (junior) was a witness at the marriage of William Bilton and Jemima Sands on 10 Jan 1799 at Halton Holegate. The register records the baptism of Elizabeth daughter of Jemima Bilton on 27 Oct 1799, William having apparently died. John appears to have married the widow, and her daughter is recorded as Elizabeth Skipworth in the family bible. Jemima's grandson named Sands Skipworth supports this scenario. "

Robert Ward
Robert Ward
Number:16126
Unit: 7th Lincolnshire Regiment
Rank: Private
Commemorated: Theipval Memorial France

PERSONAL DETAILS

Married to Alice, Robert resided in Mill Lane, Kirkstead prior to the war. He was the third son of Mr. W. Ward, Farmer of Witham Road, Woodhall Spa. He left 3 children and was 28 years old when he died. He was a member of Kirkstead Wesleyan Chapel where, following his death, a memorial service in his honour was held as conducted by Mr. R. Curtis

SERVICE DETAILS

After enlisting at Lincoln in 1915, Robert was drafted into the 7th battalion of the Lincolnshire Regiment. Raised following Kitchener?s call to form a new army, the 7th battalion was in the 51st Brigade of the 17th (Northern) Division. The division began its formation in September 1914 and comprised of units from the Midlands, the North of England and Dorset. It was based around Wareham Dorset. The division soon received its orders to proceed overseas and, on the 6th July 1915, divisional advance parties left Southampton. The remainder of the division began its embarkation for France 6 days later. When in France, it concentrated around St. Omer. By the 19th July it was being sent to the front in the area around Ypres. Instruction into trench warfare was soon complete and the division saw its first major action in August 1915, when it attacked the village of Hooge.

By 1916, the British were being placed under intense pressure by the French, to launch their Spring offensive, thus relieving the French armies at Verdun. Haig managed to stall the French until the 1st July 1916 when the bloody battle of the Somme commenced. This was to be the blackest day in British military history for, at the days close, British casualties totalled some 60,000. Although not concerned with the opening attacks, on the afternoon of 1st July the 17th division received orders it was to clear the village of Fricourt the next morning. Intelligence gleaned from prisoners soon established the enemy were withdrawing from Fricourt and, although in a ruinous condition, the Lincolns occupied the village with relative ease. Immediately they were ordered to press on to take their second objective, Fricourt Wood.

The Lincolns prepared to attack whilst the South Staffords sent out patrols. Whilst meeting minor resistance, it was again found the Germans had, by 3pm on the day, evacuated the woods. So far the division, and the Lincolns, had been very lucky. The next day, the 3rd July, the division was ordered to, again, attack the enemy. It was a fine, bright, sunny day. The Lincolns were sent to capture Crucifix trench, which lay west of and parallel to the road from Fricourt to Contalmaison. There was no preliminary barrage, which worked in the Lincolns favour, for when they sent in their bombers, the enemy was taken by surprise. On seeing the success of the bombers, the rest of the 7th went over the top to secure the trench, only to be met by a hail of machine gun bullets. In spite of dreadful casualties, the Lincolns pressed on, finally driving the enemy out. By early afternoon, all the objectives of the 17th Division had been taken and secured. The 7th Lincolns had, however, suffered heavy casualties ? 4 Officers and 36 other ranks being killed; 6 Officers and 160 other ranks wounded or missing. Robert was one of those who had fallen.

Now, you will be interested in the following - an extract from the typed paper on the Charles Hills family mentioned earlier (again, I believe this was created in the first half of the 20th century directly from one of the Hills in Auckland.

"They first lived in a two roomed Cottage (which was the only house procurable) in Hobson St., (near the corner of Wellesly St. West, on the South side) , their immediate neighbours being Messrs. Shannahn and Griffin. They next resided in Vincent St., then at the N.E. corner of Havelock St. and Wynard St., then in Wellesley St. Mr. Hills built a row of Cottages facing Wellesley and Albert Sts. Mr...[Charles Hills] later commenced business on his own account and built the first cab and first dogcart in Auckland. The cab was made to the order of Mr. H. Hardington, who ran a bus service to Onehunga. The dogcart was built to the order of Mr. Wm. Coldicutt, a farmer residing in Epsom. Mr Hills removed to Thames, on the outbreak of the gold-fields there. When "Oil" was discovered at Poverty Bay Mr. Hills removed to Gisborne he subsequently returned to Auckland, where he died in 1892."

Charles, Maria, and their children Ellen Mary (b. Ely, England July 19th 1843), Emily Maria (b. Ely - England 1845) and Frederick Alexander (b. Ely England 1847) arrived in Auckland NZ on the ship 'Creswell' [sic], 574 tons, Capt. Barnett, on September 13th (or ?6th) in 1863 after calling at New Plymouth, Taranaki to offload passengers and cargo.....Mr Hills was a carriage builder by trade, but finding no work in NZ worked as a coach builder for Mr Jeffrey's (a pioneer coach builder). There is more detail if you wish to know - about where they lived in Auckland. Mr Hills moved to Thames at the outbreak of gold fields, and then Poverty Bay in Gisborne when oil was found. He returned to Auckland and died in 1892.

Matilda Maria Hills (nee Prior) died in Auckland on January 21st, 1818 and is buried in Symonds Street.
