Brass Effigies of Thomas and Richard Cave

troypix1 — 2011-11-29 16:00:19Z

Does anyone have pictures of the brass effigies of Thomas and Richard Cave that are said to exist in the Chruch of Stanford, Stanford, Northamptonshire? Also said to include their wives and children. I've been trying to find pictures-including Google images-to no avail. The effigies are mentioned on several sites but no pictures. (There are pictures of effigies of later Caves and other Margaret Caves etc but not our Thomas, Richard etc. at the Stanford Church.)
Thanks

Re LeScope/Saxby. I found John LeScrope with an 'r' on Geni.com marr. to an Elizabeth Strathbogie of Atholl-her father David Strathbolgie (spelling?) Earl of Atholl. She was also marr to Sir Thomas Percy...a number of children are listed by both husbands but no son named Thomas Saxby. Thomas Percy is given in descent from Henry de Percy 'Hotspur' 1st Earl of Northumberland-(our 1st cousin-18x removed)-great grandson of our ancestor Sir Henry Percy of Alnwick-2nd Lord Percy. Is there any other source for Thomas Saxby being the son of John LeSc(r)ope? I cannot find any.
Thanks

jacquislade — 2011-11-28 21:23:45Z

I haven't found any mention of that, but I would have thought it's not so unusual at that time, when surnames often denoted place.

Re: Margaret Saxby marr. Richard Cave

troypix1 — 2011-11-28 21:12:09Z

Is the reason given for the name change from LeScope to Saxby? Thanks

Re: Margaret Saxby marr. Richard Cave

jacquislade — 2011-11-28 20:06:36Z

Thomas Saxby's father was called John LeScope. You can trace his line back through his g-grandmother Elizabeth Strathbogie, through the Chilham family to Richard Fitzroy, son of King John of England.

There's a line through the Comyn family right back to Charlemagne - if the links on Ancestry private trees are reliable, that is.

John Saxby (~1720 - 1790) Goldhill, Hadlow, Kent

janehbarber0909 — 2011-01-06 02:48:27Z

I am looking for parents and other ancestry of John Saxby born about 1720. His wife was Elizabeth. I believe it likely it was Elizabeth Basset, there is a marriage registered in Cowden in 1743, if this is the pair. John left a will dated 1790 and was living in Goldhill (Goldhill Mill) at Hadlow. Their first son was John born 1746. His daughter Ann, my ancestor, was born in Hadlow in 1754, married Richard Miles in Hadlow, and is mentioned in John Saxby's will as wife of Richard Miles. It would be interesting to know of Ann's other siblings, I have discovered John (1746) Elizabeth (1748) Henry (1752) Ann 1754 and Michael mentioned in will, or anything else about these Saxbys. Thank you.

The inquest on the suicide of Allen Saxby (aged 59) is reported in the Beckenham Journal 6-Apr-1895 p5f and Beckenham & Penge Advertiser 4-Apr-1895 p8b:

His daughter, Emily, saw him alive the previous evening but found him hanging from a hook on his bedroom door at 6am the following morning. His son, Thomas, said he had no home or business worries but had said that business was "dull". His doctor said he was now in good health but had had an inflammation on the brain 7 years previously. Neighbour Mr Apps said that he had "lately taken to drink a great deal" but his daughter said he had promised to sober up. Mr Apps added that he had had trouble with his wife (who had died some years previously) and with his children who had no one to bring them up. The jury thought that Thomas could have done more in the business. Verdict: "Suicide while temporarily insane."

Neither Emily nor Thomas are found in later Penge directories. The shop continued as a fishmonger's, but Thomas didn't take it over -- one William Quinnell is there in 1896.

Of the other two I listed, electoral rolls name the wife of William Thomas Saxby as Helen Sarah. No early ERs have survived for the Birkbeck Rd address. I haven't looked at Church registers.

That's all I have on Penge Saxbys. I'll post again if anything else turns up, probably more by luck than anything else unless someone can provide more clues.

Re: saxbys of penge

chrisdoran1 — 2010-05-17 03:38:38Z

A few bits from Penge directories:-

1878: Allen Saxby, fishmonger, Hawthorn Grove, Penge
1911-27: William Thomas Saxby, newsagent, 52 Maple Road, Penge
1911: Frederick C Saxby, 184 Birkbeck Road, Beckenham

And in the Beckenham Journal year summary for 1895:

25th March: Allen Saxby, Penge fishmonger, hanged himself.

(Probably more about this in the newspaper itself.)

Saxby's Nottinghamshire and Kent

gillusher — 2010-03-04 05:56:01Z

Hi, my name is Gillian and I have hit a brick wall with my research. I have gotten as far as John Saxby born circa 1775 in Nottinghamshire married Elizabeth Raynes Born circa 1770 in Bexley Kent. They married on 4 Dec 1792 in East Retford, Notts (possibly Clarborough). They had 5 Children Frederick (1795), George(1797), Amelia(1801) and John (1804) all born in Clarborough, Notts and William (1816) born in Kent. Does anyone have any information about John's parents? There is a rumour that there may have been a French connection ie that his parents may have been French emigres who anglicised their name.

tcdintino — 2009-06-30 19:26:08Z

I am searching on behalf of my wife's family.
There is very little to go on and the redundant use of the first name of Frederick becomes very confusing...as some times it is included and other times abbreviated (F.) or omitted altogether.If any one can help I would appreciate it greatly.
This is what we know...We were told they were Welsh and English (?) Harold Saxby married Harriet Foster in the late 1800's had a son named Frederick Herbert Saxby around 1890. Frederick Herbert emigrated to the US and married Margeurite Harris, we are not sure which came first, the marriage or emigration. They gave birth to my wife's father, Frederick Harold Saxby on 03-Nov-1917 in Watertown Mass. His father, Frederick Herbert, was a Radiologist and died by the time he was 10 of cancer. His mother remarried Ralph Tyler Mabie of Florida.
Thanks for any help or suggestions, I have been to LDS and most other websites without success. I am posting here as a last effort.

Re: JOHN SAXBY

CBrooks27 — 2009-02-20 17:39:28Z

A north west Kent link looks very likely.

This is what I have on John Wesley Saxby:

In Camberwell parish church on Christmas Day 1896, a Friday, John Wesley Saxby married Alice Matilda Veasey , born in Camberwell in the early summer of 1864. She was a domestic servant in 1881. In 1891, still living at home, she appears to have had no separate occupation. She was thirty two; he was thirty nine. Both signed the register. The witnesses were Edwin Samuel Hoskins (probably born around 1841, an iron merchant and employer, living at 98, Vassall Road, Lambeth in 1891) and Louisa Veasey (Alice’s younger sister).
John Wesley Saxby was the first person involved with the Veasey family to bear so significant a christian name as Wesley. He was born in Plumstead in Kent in the spring of 1857. His father, another John Saxby, born, like his wife in Crayford, did missionary work in London, having moved up from west Kent (from Plumstead via Bexley) at the end of the 1850s. In 1861, the Saxbys were living at 12, Portland Street, Lambeth; in 1871, at 26, Bessborough Place in St John’s, Westminster; in 1881, at 7, Chichester Street in the parish of St George’s Hanover Square (with a domestic servant). John Saxby, sr., died late in 1881. On the marriage certificate of John and Alice, he was described as a ‘gentleman’. John, jr., was a reading boy at a printer’s in 1871 and a compositor in 1881 (living at home in both cases). He had been married before, to Martha Jamieson, whom he wed in St George’s Hanover Square in the spring of 1881. Unfortunately, we cannot find John and Martha Saxby in the 1891 census. Martha had died in the Wandsworth district early in 1894.
At the time of the marriage, of John Wesley Saxby and Alice Matilda Veasey John’s address was given simply as Camberwell Green; Alice’s as 20 [?] Camberwell Green. In 1901, John and Alice lived in four rooms at 2, Wren Street, Camberwell, sharing the house with two other families. They had one son, Charles Wesley Saxby, born in the early summer of 1898. John Wesley Saxby died in the early summer of 1903, aged forty six. Alice Saxby is not apparent thereafter. Charles was probably living in Wandsworth in 1911.

Do we have any indication of Methodist loyalties in the family late eighteenth or early nineteenth centuries?

Ancestry tells me that while there were only 304 men with the first name Wesley in 1851, there were 1,428 by 1901...

I don't have a John Saxby b. 1836 but do have a John Saxby b. about 1818 and Mary Ann Pankhurst b. about 1819 who were married in 1840. I mention them because they were married in Erith, which is fairly close to Crayford, and could possibly be a related family.

I wish I could find more information on this Saxby line too!

I think we may belong to the same Saxby family, my ancestor was also Edwin, I believe named after an uncle. They came from Milton but lived in Faversham. Edwin was born in 1822 & married a widow, they had a large family. The line is on my late mother's side. Let me know if you think there is a connection
