St. Neot Hender Families

St. Neot Hender Families Compiled and Annotated by Don R. Hender Why would two brothers move from Lanteglos by Camelford to St Neot. Perhaps at the time it was a matter of livelihood, marriage or both. There is round about St. Neot a variety of various mines for mine workers to work in, including cooper and tin mines which Cornwall has long been famous for. As it is it seems that the first Hender family we can construct from the parish records is that of John and Jone Hender whose male line goes extinct. It is later that two brother, John Hender and Thomas Hender arrive from Lanteglos by Camelford. But back to that first John. I've yet to have found any families from which his family comes or that connects to them. So I'll just put up their family pedigree from the parish record of OPC and we can look upon it with wonderment.

Often looking at the burial records of the parish can put much more information into the identification of who people are. Three of the daughters of John died as infants or toddlers. The other three are immortal NOT. But perhaps they'll reappear somewhere else. Now between where the parish records give those first records to where one might begin to use the Census records to aid in the family study process. These inbetweeners are as follows: John Hender db27May1822 St Neot at age 5 the son of Thomas and Anne. This will be found to be their first son John. Charles Hender db11Jul1838 St Neot at age 7 of Ambrose Lake Cottage of the Croup. This Charles to be placed with the Ambrose Lake family? John Hender db6Jun1842 St Neot age 18 from Breaking of a blood-vessel. This will be found to be Thomas and Ann's second son John. John Hender of Coombe-Housedb23Feb1845 St Neot age 60 from Inflammation of the chest. By name, age dating, etc. he is determined Margaret's husband. We may have hoped to bridged a part of the gap but perhaps the best we can do is to help identify those who the census records will bring to bear. Now Thomas Hender and Anne whose son died at age 5, but perhaps we need to know look not only to the 1841 Census to see if we have any fits to families that are constructed from that, but we can also consult the parish marriage records. Just be sure to check both groom Hender names and bride Hender names. In this case I'll first set out the 1841 Census record and build from that, adding in what else is obtained from the other sources as well.
1841 Census To give a perspective of looking through a Census record, three pages of the 1841 Census relative to the Parish of St Neot is given below. Highlights and notes to the right will report what is seen herein.

While the Census can give a good rough picture of who is who, particularly the later one which name relationship and places of birth, parish records and wills also go a long way in solidifying these families and picking up what the once every ten year snap shot does not. The first son, John Hender, of Thomas and Ann would be entirely missed if not for the parish records. And wills can reveal for sure who married who and often also states relationships beyond immediate framily, including grandparents, grandchildren and neices and nephews. From reviewing the 1841 Census we roughly set out two families as placed below.
John Hender = Margaret b1786 (55 1841c) b1786 (55 1841c) Ambrose Lake Cottage John Hender William Hender b1826 (15 1841c) b1827 (14 1841c) On page 4 (Book 14 Folio 21 Page 4) of the Census was found a second son as a servant of John Nicholls Farm, John Hender age 15, likely a rounded age.	Thomas Hender = Ann b1786 (55/1841) b1786 (55/1841) Landtreise Cottage Thomas Hender Grace Hender John Hender b1821 (20/1841) b1826 (15/1841) 1839 (2/1841) Mother is Elizabeth Hender not seen here - may have died post birth of John Hender - no father listed.
There is also on this St Neot Census another John Hender age 15 on page 12 which may well be Thomas Hender and Ann's son John born 1824 with age rounded. And there is a David Hender age 65, an Ag Lab on Robert Body age 65 household. John could be the same John as on page 3, just at a different farm labouring on a different Census day, or he could be some immmediately unrelated John Hender to the first two families and related to David Hender age 65. David Hender could be but a labourer boarding with others or he could be an inlaw relative. There is nothing on the 1841 Census to clearly indicate which he is. But using parish records and other soures, additional bits of information begins to further form these families and add names and historical facts of interest.
We Look for John and Thomas as the Sons of John Hender and Elizabeth Avery of Lanteglos by Camelford (see this link to that page) (and that John Hender as son of John Hender and Elizabeth Hodge) The transition from Lanteglos by Camelford to St. Neot for these two brothers is complicated by the manner in which the 1841 Census rounds its adult ages, the fact that John Hender dies in 1845 before the 1851 census, and the fact that Thomas Hender's family is recorded/transcribed as Hendon rather than properly as Hender. It is the 1851 Census that ties Thomas Hender(Hendon) to being from Camelford where he associated himself from being from rather the just Lanteglos by Camelford. Given the above like to Lateglos by Camelford, it can be seen there the two brothers connection between Camelford (Lanteglos) and St. Neot. [Sue Dent's 5ggfather Thomas Hender?]

Why is 'peggy' the nick- name for Margaret, easiest said is, 'It just is.' The long of it is that it is a matter of British Intelligence. Short for the various forms of Margaret, Margot, Marguerita, Maggie, Madge, May etc. comes the ryhme for Mog and Meg as Pog and Peg and thus Brits ryhme meggie-peggie. It's just British ryhming games. In search from A to Z they passed, And "Marguerita" Chose at last; But thought it sound far more sweet To call the baby "Marguerite." When grandma saw the little pet, She called her "darling Margaret." Uncle Jack who's John and cousin Aggie Sent cup and spoon to "little Maggie." And grandpapa the right must beg To call the lassie "bonnie Meg." From "Marguerita" down to "Meg," And now she's simply "little Peg." ~ any mouse ~ More information about record ####### in the Baptisms database Day Month 27-Jun Year 1784 Parish/Reg Dist Lanteglos by Camelford Forename John Surname HENDER Sex son Father Forename John Mother Forename Eliz: Residence Father Rank Pro Notes Trans Notes Src: Exeter BTs Transcriber Sue Mutton More information about record ####### in the Baptisms database Day Month 15-Apr Year 1787 Parish/Reg Dist Neot, St. Forename Margaret Surname LANGSFORD Sex dau Father Forename Thomas Mother Forename Margaret Residence Father Rank Pro Notes Trans Notes src: Exeter BTs Transcriber J Evans/K Halley More information about record ####### in the Marriages database Day Month 05-Jul Year 1819 Parish / Reg District Neot, St. Groom Fn John Groom Sn HENDER Groom Age Groom Residence otp Groom Condition Groom Rank Profession Groom Sign/Mark (S/M) S Groom Father Name Groom Father Rank Pro Bride Fn Margaret Bride Sn LANKSFORD Bride Age Bride Residence otp Bride Condition Bride Rank Profession Bride Sign/Mark (S/M) M Bride Father Name Bride Father Rank Pro Banns/Licence (B/L) B Witness Fn1 Thomas Witness Sn1 Richards Witness Fn2 Joseph Witness Sn2 Growden Other Information Transcriber Notes Src: Exeter BTs Transcriber Kay Halley	Residence(s): Woodland, Village Occupation(s): Labourer Thomas Hender = Ann(e) Lang(s)ford c25Dec1786 \| c11Apr1784(dau Thos Langsford Lanteglos C \| St Neot & Margaret Willis) d2Feb1856 \| db15Nov1870 Higher Lantrease \| Higher Lantrease db5Feb1856 \| St Neot a88 St Neot a67 \| (Old Age) (Apoplexy) \| m26Dec1811 \| St Neot \| \| ________________\|________________ \| \| \| Thomas \| \| Eliz.

John Hender, son of John Hender deceased is marrying Mary Chealey. The father John Hender died of Inflammation of the chest from his working in the mines. His young son also works in the mines an at the age of 26 is getting married. Either John's brother Thomas Hender is one of the witnesses or perhaps John's uncle Thomas Hender is present and filling in as witness. The mother's famly is also present and providing support as John Langford is also acting as one of the witnesses. The deceased John Hender and his brother 'uncle Thomas' are the sons of John Hender and Elizabeth Avery of Lanteglos by Camelford north of St. Neot where they have had to come to work in the mines. It is not an easy life and brother/nephew has or will lose a leg in a mining accident. Once recovered with a false leg, William will return to work in the mines once he learns to work on an artificial, likely wooden, leg. The over all fit and flow of the supporting documents should give supporting evidence and help to judge that the fit is real and there are no glaring discripences somewhat like a mentally visual jigsaw puzzle. As the pieces come together a true to life overall picture. Since the times of Jesus Christ, the TIN MINES of Cornwall have been one of the centers of obtaining the necessary complimentry metal of tin fameous the then known world over.
A 'Skip Shaft' leading down into the mines and caverns hundreds and even thousands of feet under the earth where the mining would be done, often at levels threatened by sea and water tables. Now the mines are closed. They ranged both inland and in regions along the sea where tall cliffs mark the land and the mines endings along the sea coast. Some mines even reached beneath the sea level's bottom where the 'stone' sea bottom gave some degree of protection to the miners below. The 'Gateway' to the mines below the sea was from a shaft dug reaching depths of 240 fathoms, 480 yards or 1440 feet below the sea at Crown Mines. Workers could hear the waves crash above their head as they toiled. With the roar of the sea in their ears they knew that one false pick stroke could be their last with sea waters rushing in upon them. The 'costs' of such tin mining was many lives as well as limbs. At least in St. Neot the mines were more inland. Yet round about Neot there are a variety of mine and methods of mining. Both quary and pit, from clay works to tin. A listing would include the Gazeland China Clay Works, Gillhouse Mine, Kilham Mine with 'skip shafts' (Pensilva Tin Mine; Wheal Coryton), Parson's Park Pit (Parc St Neot Pit), Trefeagle Mine, Westerlake Mine and Wheal Cicely (Wheal Sicily). Before any cesus John Hender, brother of Thomas Hender, had died of 'INflmmation of the Chest, 1819. As the 1851 Census reveals, John's three sons, John, William, and Thomas, had become 'Tin and Copper Miners'. His son William would lose a leg due to his working in the mines. John's brother Thomas, who had also come to St. Neot, as of the 1851 Census, was still a Ag. or farm worker. [See: @http://www.mindat.org/loc-52639.html]
1851 Census (The Search for John Hender) On the Internet I hear the plea, 'I am looking for any information on a John HENDer born Liskeard/St. Neot. In the 1851 census he is aged 12 working as a farm servant in St. Neot.' Additional information follows concerning his later life, a marriage to a Rebecca N (surname unknown) and the following children: Elizabeth Manning Hender who married Thomas John A'LEE, Thomas John Hender who possibly married Cordelia Miller A'LEE, Charles Hender who possibly married Lucy Truscott COLLINGS.

Hender NOT Henden The difficulty 'above' does not appear in identifying the 'family' of this young John Hender, age 12, but rather his exact immediate parentage. According to birth certificate, he is the son of Elizabeth Hender and thence grandson of Thomas Hender and Ann Langsford as he appears with that family on the 1841 Census at age of 2. And unless Ann had a child at age 56, not impossible but unlikely, John Hender age 2 in 1841 and age 12 in 1851, must be the son of either Elizabeth, which would make him base, or Thomas [Langsford] Hender at his age of about 22 (Christened in 1819), or even John Hender, not at home, but would be but age about 17 (Christened in 1824), or even another son/daughter who never made the record books. The birth certificate transcription provided by the OPC would make him the son of Elizabeth Hender. John seems to appear in the 1861 Census at age 21 in Lanreath, ED4, Folio 38 Page 9 as a 'Plow Man' born in St Neot, farm servnt of William Searle. And if this is all correct, at age 30 (rounded?) in Pelynt, ED5 Folio 56 Page 16, married to Rebecca M. and children Elizabeth M. Hender and Thomas J. Hender. There it confirms he being born in St Neot and St Neot is a part of the greater district of Liskeard or the Borough District of Liskeard. In 1891 census he is in Lanreth ED3 Folio 26 Page 8, age 52 and born St Neot with wife Rebecca and son Charles. And in 1881 again Lanreth, age 41 born st Neot with wife Rebecca and sons Thomas and Charles E Hender.
Take care in finding John Hender a father. There was a stigma of being born while at the Workhouse in Liskeard. John Hender will always list his birth as St. Neot but there is none there. Both a birth record and a parish baptism record for John Hender has no father listed, mother named Elizabeth (Hender) as John takes his mother's maiden name. In St. Neot there is a natural born son of an Elizabeth, Christened 1 Jan. 1839 and named John Kent (her maiden name). This Elizabeth Kent marries on 5 August 1841 to a William Rundle 10 years her senior. They appear on the 1851 Census as husband and wife with son John Kent** Rundule age 12, a son born 1839, they being married in 1841. There are another Johns Christened in St Neot from 1838-1840 but none match a John Hender. There is one John Raynard Langsford, son of John a Cordwainer and his wife Ann, but that's about as close as it comes. Thus it seems John Hender took his mother's maiden name with no father. Either he is told St. Neot was where he was born or his presonal preference is to report it that way. John Hender is age 2 in 1841 and 12 in 1851 cesus records (see above).

More could be said here, but just follow the three ** notes and deduce yourself. James Lobb, Mason & resident of Deer Park Cot, who married Charlotte Hender, was son of Joseph Lobb Labourer. James Lobb, Apren. Mason, age 20, St Neot is at household of Richard Marks, Farmer and Mason on 1871 Census St. Neot. James Lobb, Scholar, age 11, is at home Stengelly with Joseph Lobb father age 55, St Neot; mother Martha Lobb age 52, Broadoak; and sister Martha Lobb, Scholar, age 7, St Neot; on the 1861 Census of St Neot. The 18551 Census of St Neot adds three more children to this family Jane Lobb age 13, St Neot, Mary Lobb age 7, St Neot and Joseph Lobb age 3, St Neot. James is also there age 10m, St Neot and at Stengelly (house). The 1841 Census adds two more sons, John Lobb age 9 and William Lobb age 6, Jane and an earlier Mary are also listed at age 3 and 4m. They are even then at 'Strengilly' with parents Joseph Lobb and wife Martha. It appears that Joseph Lobb married Martha Talland, 21 October 1828, St Neot, and according to the OPC parish listings they had eight children, John, William, Jane, Mary, a second Mary, Joseph, James and Martha which all confirms the census data. The first Mary Lobb died at age 2 of Scarlet fever and was buried 1 June 1843. Mother Martha Lobb appears to have lived to age 93, buried 5 April 1903, St Neot.
Thomas Hender, son of John Hender and Margaret Langsford This Thomas Hender appears to be the son of John Hender and Margaret Langsford. His Parish Christening has him listed as Thomas Hendra. On the 1851 Census he is living with his brother John Hender's family (See Above). His Marriage Record is of St. Neot (both being of full age) and his father listed as John Hender. Her father is listed as James Trezona. Also note: Fanny is the nickname for the proper name Frances.
