Thomas Frederick Hebblethwaite

Thomas is the son of James Hebblethwaite and Mary Whiteley and was born on the 1st of October 1821 in Oporto, Portugal, and he was christened on the 28th of April 1823 in Oporto. He died on the 2nd of December 1890 in 9 The Crescent, Scarborough, North Yorkshire at the age of 69 and was buried three days later on the 5th St. Mary’s in Scarborough.

Thomas does not appear on the 1841 census. It is possible that he was still in Portugal at that time.

Thomas married Louisa Percivale Walmesley, daughter of Thomas Forbes Walmesley, on the 21st of June 1845 in St John the Evangelist, Westminster, London, Middlesex. The marriage was witnessed by Thomas Forbes Walmesley, Arthur Walmesley, Mary ##### Walmesley, ###### Walmesley, ##### Mary Walmesley, Francis John Howarth??? Louisa's middle name is difficult to read on the marriage certificate. Her age is not given, and Thomas' is given as Full. At this time Thomas was working as an engineer.

Thomas Forbes Walmesley (Walmisley) was born in London in 1783 and was a noted composer of hymns. In 1812 he became assistant organist of St. Martin’s in the Fields in Westminster. This could explain why Thomas and Louisa married in Westminster.

The York Herald of the 28th of June 1845 had the following notice;

MARRIAGES

On Saturday, the 21st inst., at St. John’s church, Westminster, by the Rev. John Jennings, rector, Mr. Thomas Frederick Hebblethwaite, of Hessle, third son of the late James Hebblethwaite, Esq., of Leeds, and formerly of Oporto, to Louisa Perceval, the youngest daughter of T. Forbes Walmisely, Esq., of Westminster.

In 1846 Thomas and Louisa were living at 11 Bowlally Lane, Anlaby Road, Kingston upon Hull, Yorkshire. But on the 24th of September 1846 following the premature birth of a still-born son Louisa sadly died. Her death was announced on Friday the 2nd of October 1846 in the Hull Advertiser;

On Thursday the 24th ultimo, aged 21 years, Louisa Percivall, the wife of Thomas Frederick Hebblethwaite, Esq., of this town, and youngest daughter of Thomas Forbes Walmsley (sic), Esq., of Westminster.

Thomas remarried just over a year later when he wed Mary Frances Gleadow on the 18th of November 1847. At the time of the wedding Thomas was given as living in Anlaby Road in Myton, Kingston upon Hull, this is likely to still be 11 Bowlally Lane, since in 1851 it was still his address. At the time of the wedding he was still making a living as an engineer.

The wedding was announced the following day in the Hull Packet and East Riding Times;

November 18, At St. Stephen’s Church, by the Rev. J. Deck M. A., Thomas Frederick, the third son of the late James Hebblethwaite, Esq., of Leeds, and formerly of Oporto, to Mary Frances, daughter of Robert Ward Gleadow, Esq., both of this town.

On the marriage certificate to Mary Frances Gleadow, the marriage was witnessed by J W Gleadow, S R?? Hebblethwaite, Anne May Wilkinson, Anna Eliza #####.

The marriage was also announced in the London Daily News on Tuesday the 23rd of November 1847;

HEBBLETHWAITE – GLEADOW. Nov, 18, at Hull, by the Rev. J. Deck, M.A., Thomas Frederick, third son of the late J. Hebblethwaite, Esq., of Leeds, and formerly of Oporto, to Mary Frances, daughter of R.W. Gleadow, Esq., of Hull.

On the 17th of August 1848 the couple’s first child, Eleanor Mary was born at Anlaby Road.

A year later on the 28th of October 1849 their first son, Percival was born. Again the birth was at Anlaby Road.

In 1850 they had a third child, Charles Edward who unfortunately died just a year later in 1851.

Around 1851 Thomas established the T. F. Hebblethwaite Land Agency. One of his sons William Henry later joined the business as a land agent’s clerk. In an 1851 trade directory T. F. Hebblethwaite was recorded as being located at the Post Office buildings, Victoria Terrace, Anlaby Road. The firm later became Hebblethwaite & Son and was situated in the Post Office buildings on Whitefriargate.

T. F. Hebblethwaite, who acted for several notable Hull based families such as the Harrison–Broadleys, had an annual turnover varying from £46,170 in 1856, the first year for which figures are available, to £156,173 in 1873, the year of highest turnover between 1856 and 1880. No other Hull based agent dealt with amounts of that magnitude. According to the Bank of England by 2015 this would be equivalent to £15 316 967.30 based on an averaged inflation of 3.2% per year. The Hebblethwaite land agency and surveyors company ceased trading in the mid-1980s.

The Hull City Archives possess a lot of Thomas’ documents from his time as a Surveyor and Land Agent, such as;

Kingston upon Hull City Quarter Sessions Files CQP/20/1 and CQP/20/2 ref CQP/20/3-4

Surveyor on the York and North Midland Railway branch to the Victoria or East Dock.

CQP/21/2 ref CQP/21/5 Surveyor on the Hull and Holderness Railway.

The 1851 census shows that Thomas and Mary are still living in Anlaby Road. He is working as a land agent and land surveyor, suggesting that he established his agency before April 1851. The census says that he was born in Portugal (British Subject). At this time the family employed two servants, Mary Servis, aged 24 is a house servant and Elizabeth Large a 15 year old house maid.

Thomas was possibly born near to the British Factory House in Oporto. It is is an 18th-century Neo-Palladian building associated with the influence of Britain in the Porto Wine industry. This building is part of a group of buildings and infrastructures that mark the British presence in the city of Porto, that include the Oporto Cricket and Lawn Tennis Club (founded 1855) and the Oporto British School (1894). In this context the Factory is an establishment for traders to carry on business in a foreign country. It included a chapel and chaplain so that the merchants could attend English language, Protestant worship.

Later that year on the 12th of August their son, William Henry was born.

Thomas’ new profession it appears came with some authority and of course financial success. By 1852 he was able to put a deposit of £1000 down to help others in the 1852 General Election. This would be the equivalent of £126 000 in 2016.

On Friday 26th of October 1852 the Hull Advertiser reported;

In the matter of the election petition, signed by Jonathan Pullyan and Henry Whytall Walker, relating to the town and county of the town of Kinston-upon-Hull.

Thomas Frederick Hebblethwaite, of Anlaby Road, in the parish of the Holy Trinity, in the town and county of the town of Kinston-upon-Hull, land agent, maketh oath and saith that he is in possessed of personal estate above that will satisfy his debts of the clear sum of one thousand pounds.

THOS. FREDK. HEBBLETHWAITE.

Sworn at the House of Commons, this 19th day of November, 1852.

Before me George K. Rickards

George K. Rickards,

Thos. Fredk. Hebblethwaite.

As it turned out the 1852 election in Hull was declared void on petition. Hull's right to representation was suspended and a Royal Commission appointed to investigate. Once it had reported, a new election was held, which none of the four original candidates contested. It’s not known whether Thomas lost his £1000 due to this.

The following year Thomas and Mary had their fifth child, Jessie in Scarborough.

In Slaters Royal National Commercial Directory of the Northern Counties Vol 1 of 1855 Thomas is listed in the directory as being a Land Surveyor in 1855 in Post Office Buildings.

In the Durham, Northumberland and Yorkshire Royal National Commercial Directory for 1855 Thomas is listed as Hebblethwaite, Thomas F. land surveyor, Post Office Buildings, Whitefriar Gate, Hull.

In 1856 their son Louis was born on the 22nd of February in Kingston upon Hull.

On the 1st of December 1859 Thomas and Mary lost their daughter, Mary Louise who was born earlier that year. She may have been the twin of Emmeline who was also born in 1859.

The following year, 1860 Mary gave birth to another daughter, Kate.

By the time of the 1861 census the family had moved to 7 Park Street in Myton, Kingston upon Hull and Thomas was still a Land Agent and Surveyor and Mary's ‘occupation’ is listed as Land Agent's wife.

In 1862 the couple had a daughter, Alice Maude, and the following year in 1863 they had another daughter, Minna.

They were still at living at 7 Park Street at the time of the birth of Amy, the couples eleventh child of thirteen and their seventh daughter of nine on the 17th of August 1864.

However sometime after Amy’s birth in 1864 the family appear to have moved to as they can be found at 2 Granville Terrace, Beverley Road in Sculcoates, Kingston upon Hull, between 1864 to 1869. In 1868 this is known just as Beverley Road, Kingston upon Hull.

In 1867 both T.F. Hebblethwaite and Hebblethwaite and Patrick, land agents and surveyors are listed in a trade directory as being situated in the Post Office buildings on Whitefriargate.

On the 3rd of May 1867 the Hull Packet and East Riding Times reported;

TOWN COUNCIL MEETING

MR. HEBBLETHWAITE AND THE CORPORATION.

Mr. Boulter called attention to an order to pay Mr. Thomas Frederick Hebblethwaite £10 10s., being one year’s salary due the 30th of March 1867, as farm surveyor to the Corporation. He had a note in his hand informing him that this Mr. Hebblethwaite was the gentleman who went against the Corporation in the arbitration case between them and the proprietors of the Baths, &c., on the Humber-bank.

The town clerk said that Mr. Hebblethwaite had ten guineas per annum for attending to the Corporation’s farms. One year’s salary was due, and they would be bound to him.

Mr. Mosely severely condemned Mr. Hebblethwaite for consenting to give evidence against the Corporation, when he knew he was required to give evidence on behalf of the Corporation.

Mr. Beeton said the office which Mr. Hebblethwaite held was a complete sinecure, and he should move on a future occasion that it be abolished.

Also in 1867 the couple had another daughter, Fanny but unfortunately she was to die in 1871 at the tender age of 4 in Patrington, Yorkshire. Her death was after the 1871 census on the 2nd of April.

In 1868 their last child, Lucy was born.

The 1868 Poll Book for the Borough of Kingston upon Hull.

Candidates; James Clay, Charles Morgan Norwood, Henry John Atkinson, Robert Baxter.

Holy Trinity & St. Mary

Hebblethwaite, Thomas Frederick, Beverley Road voted for Atkinson and Baxter.

This shows that Thomas’ political leaning is towards the Conservatives as

Atkinson was a Conservative and appears to have been on the same platform as Baxter.

Norwood and Clay were the sitting MPs and were elected in 1868, They both stood for the Liberal party. It was not until 1872 that secret ballots were introduced for elections.

On the 1871 census the Hebblethwaite household at 2 Granville Terrace was considerable. Not only were Thomas Frederick, his wife Mary Frances and 11 of their 12 children present, but also four servants. Percival Hebblethwaite was not in the household that night, in 1871 he was a scholar at Trinity College, Cambridge.

The four servants present were;

Harriet Smith, 39 years old, born in Tydd St. Mary's, Wisbeach, Lincolnshire.
Annie Credland, 26 years old, born in Scotter, Lincolnshire.
Susannah Jones McKeen, 26 years old, born in Dover, Kent.
Sarah Hannah Elsham, 15 years old, born in Hull, Yorkshire.

In 1875 their first child Eleanor Mary died in Lambeth in Surrey at the age of 27.

By this time the couple’s children were beginning to get married and the first was William Henry when on the 1st of June 1876 he married Sarah Ann Cherry at the Parish Church in Barrow upon Humber, Lincolnshire. The marriage was witnessed one of William’s siblings, his brother Louis.

On the 16th of January 1877 the couple celebrated the wedding of their eldest son, Percival to Annie Selina Nichols at Holy Trinity in Cambridge.

In 1878 it was the turn of another son Louis to get married in Hull to Maude Mary Robinson.

In 1879 Thomas and Mary were now living at 9 The Crescent, Scarborough in North Yorkshire.

By the time of the 1881 census two of their daughters Minna aged 18 and Amy aged 16 are boarders at a private school, the Mansion House in Islington, London. But back at the Crescent in Scarborough the family home comprises Thomas and Mary, daughters Jessie, Kate, Alice Maude and Lucy and five servants.

In July 1887 their daughter-in-law, Maude Mary the wife of Louis sadly passed away in Sculcoates at the age of 34.

On the 4th of September 1888 their daughter, Minna married the Reverend Sidney Pell Potter in St. Mary’s Parish Church in Scarborough. Both Thomas and Mary witnessed the marriage along with her elder sister A Maude Hebblethwaite, (Alice Maud).

In the North Yorkshire Directory of 1890 Thomas’ address is given as 9 The Crescent, Scarborough, North Yorkshire.

On Tuesday the 2nd of December 1890 Thomas died and the following day the York Herald reported;

Gleadow, S R?? Hebblethwaite, Anne May Wilkinson, Anna Eliza ?????

At the time her marriage Mary was living at York Parade in Kingston upon Hull.

In 1891 Mary who is now widowed is listed as living off her own means. She still possessed a considerable household with five servants looking after her and five of her daughters, Emmeline, Kate, Alice M, Amy and Lucy who were all aged between 22 years and 32 years old. None of the daughters has an occupation.

From the Durham University Journal dated the 5th of November 1892 the following appeared;

On 28th June, at St. Mary’s Scarborough, by the Right Rev. the Bishop of Hull, assisted by the Rev. W.H. Nixon M.A., the Rev. F.F. Rudolph DOWNIE, L. Th., 1887, curate-in-charge of Bingfield, Northumberland, third son of Henry Downie, of Collingwood House, Tynemouth, to Lucy, youngest daughter of the late Thomas Frederick Hebblethwaite of Hull and Scarborough.

On the 3rd of January 1894 Mary’s son Louis, a widower, remarried at St. John the Evangelist in Charlotte Street in London to Alethea Lucy Knight.

Mary was witness to the marriage of Albert Shaw and her daughter Amy on the 18th of December 1895 in Scarborough.

1898 saw the marriage of her daughter Jessie, at the age of 45, to the Rev. William Henry Abraham on the 20th of April, at the Parish Church in Scarborough. There must be something about marrying into the clergy as Jessie was the third daughter to do so.

On the 1901 census the family household has shrunk to Mary her daughters Kate and Alice M., but she still has five servants. By the time of her death in 1903 she was living at 9 The Crescent in Scarborough, her home for at least 22 years. The home, where she died, was also the place where Thomas, her late husband passed away.

Louis Hebblethwaite – 2 Feb 1856 to 7 Jun 1924

The Hull Daily Mail on the 10th of June 1924

MR LOUIS HEBBLETHWAITE.

DEATH OF A WELL-KNOWN HULL BUSINESSMAN

The “Mail” regrets to record the death at his residence, 47 Hymers-avenue, of Mr. Louis Hebblethwaite, head of the firm of Messrs Hebblethwaite and Son, land agents, Custom House Buildings, Whitefriargate.

The business was founded in 1849 by the father of the deceased, Mr T. F. Hebblethwaite, and in 1872 Mr Louis Hebblethwaite was taken into partnership. The combination was very successful, and the firm obtained the management of a number of well-known estates in the East Riding, notably that of the late Col. Harrison Broadley, Col. Lowthorpe, and the late Mr C. J. Ringrose, of Ottringham.

The firm were prominent in the negotiations for the acquiring of land for the making of King Edward-street and Jameson-street, and of the construction of the H. and B. Railway. Deceased also gave evidence in various arbitrations as to the value of land in which the Corporation of Hull have been engaged. He was a member of the Surveyors Institute, and was held in the highest esteem by a large circle of professional men with whom he came into contact.

Deceased, who was 68 years of age, has left a widow, two sons, and three daughters. The business is now being conducted by Mr Arthur Hebblethwaite.
