Ann, the last child of Edward Gregory and Ann Ruck, was born 15 March 1855. Her life is somewhat of a mystery and she was never forthcoming with her children about family information.
Prior to her first marriage, Ann had had one daughter named Alice Jane who was christened at the Faversham Parish Church on 18 February 1876. Unfortunately, this little child died around the time she was 1 year old and her death is registered during the first quarter of 1877 at Faversham District.
She married for the first time, a man by the name of Henry Kearn, an engine driver, on the 29th of July 1876 at the parish church of Faversham. Henry George Karn [sic] was buried at Faversham on 22 April 1880. Cause of death is unknown at this time as I have not requisitioned his death certificate. None of Ann's grandchildren knew of this marriage and it only came to light when her marriage certificate to Alfred Bodeker was received. Ann was shown on that latter certificate as being Ann Kearn, widow, father - Edward Gregory, mariner.
Although Ann was living with Alfred Bodeker as his wife by the time of the 1881 census, their marriage did not take place until 31 August 1890. In 1881 the family lived at 3 Gatefield Lane.
Between 1880 and 1893 Ann and Alfred had 7 more children. Edith Louise, born 4 September 1880; Minnie born during 1882; Rose born during 1885; Frederick born 25 October 1887; Ada Jane born 28 December 1889; and, Minnie Winnifred born 5 February 1893. Annie C., Minnie and Rose all died during 1886. It was not until a trip to visit with Dorothy Hardman and Edith Owlett during June 2003 that it came to light that their Lill was actually named Ada Jane. Up until that time, I had suspected that was the case as certainly there had never been a Lillian Gregory, Kearn or Bodeker registered at any time in the Faversham District. Unfortunately, though I had nothing to prove my suspicions. Edith Owlett suddenly revealed that her mother's name was actually Ada Jane entirely out of the blue. I was astonished and proclaimed my thanks to her for finally rectifying that piece of family history. Certainly during the 1891 and 1901 census Ada is living with the family - but no Lillian.
During 1891 the family continued to live at 33 Westgate Road in Faversham. Alfred was a labourer in the gun cotton works and the only children then living were Edith, aged 12, Frederick, aged 3 and Ada Jane, aged 2. At 32 Westgate Road was Ann's second cousin once removed, Charles Bunting, a steam sawyer, and his wife, Fanny, who had been born at St. George's in London. Charles Bunting was the great-grandson of Thomas Nutt and Mary Herman, Ann's great-great-grandparents through her grandmother, Christian Gregory (nee Milsted). It is unknown what the relationship was like between Ann and her cousin. As the relationship was somewhat removed in time between Charles Bunting and Ann, it also makes me wonder if either of them was aware of their kindred bonds and it does not appear that Charles and Fanny had any children of their own that might otherwise have played with the children of Ann and Alfred.
Alfred Bodeker eventually rose to the position of foreman at the gun cotton works. He was a rather confused and abusive sort and eventually deserted Ann around 1899. We are told that he had run off with a younger woman and certainly two entries in the Faversham parish registers bear this out: christened 8 August 1900 Alfred Heinrich Bodeker (G.R.O. June Qtr, 1899, Orsett, 4a, 578) and christened 26 May 1901 Hilda Mildred Bodeker (G.R.O. March Qtr 1901, Orsett, 4a, 649), the children of Alfred Bodeker and Charlotte Eliza Houseden. Curiously, his residence was given as being Stanford, Essex. The 1901 census shows Alfred and Charlotte and their two children living at 10 Fleet Street, Corringham, Essex. He was working as a foreman in the guncotton and explosive powder works. Living with them were two male boarders who had each been born in the U.S.A.. Hilda was shown as 2 months old at the time and Charlotte was shown as being 29 years of age and born in Faversham. A third child was found on the G.R.O. birth index - Charles William, June Qtr. 1902, Orsett, vol. 4a, page 653.
Family tradition recalls that Ann's eldest daughter used to make the most of opportunities to discredit Alfred in front of his new love or employees, ranging from name calling, kicking of shins, through to stamping on Charlotte's feet one day when Alfred and Charlotte were encountered walking together through town.
About 1903 Alfred was sent to South Africa to assist in the start up of a new gun cotton works. Word eventually came back to Ann that he had been killed there in an explosion. No one knows for certain that this is true. I have my doubts as a descendant of Alfred's brother still lives in Faversham today. She is Ella Epps, great-aunt of a lady, Ruth Bodeker (now Busbridge) who lives in New Zealand. All attempts at communication, prior to 2003, with these people failed miserably with Ella Epps more or less of the opinion that 'we' Bodeker descendants do not exist. This situation was rectified during 2003 with a contact made with Sandy Patterson. Sandy is also a descendant of Alfred's brother and more information concerning the Bodeker line can be found in the notes concerning Alfred and his family. Contact has also now been made with Ruth Busbridge in New Zealand.
Edith married in Faversham a man by the name of George Sharp and had taken up residence with her husband in the Chatham area, where during 1902 she gave birth to her only child, George Thomas Sharp. The family history of Edith and George during these few years, before they came to Canada are quite cloudy and more information will have to be gathered from Pamela Harrison, Edith's grand-daughter.
Ann, with family in tow, moved to Canada circa 1912 and settled in Toronto. Edith, George and their son also emigrated with Ann. The Sharps opened a fresh fish store on Davenport Road. Again, there is some cloud of confusion surrounding Ada Jane during this period. Family reports have it that Alice, Ada's first child was not Luke's daughter. She actually married Luke Owlett in Toronto during 1912.
Ada "Lill" and Luke eventually purchased a home at 251 Silverthorn Avenue where the entire family lived together for awhile. Minnie met Victor John Hill, her future husband, while riding the tram to work. She worked at Eaton's downtown and he was a conductor on that tram. Shortly before the outbreak of World War I Victor and Minnie's brother, Fred, purchased a small farm property in North York. Edith Owlett can recall one incident that happened when she was about 8 years old. Apparently the family was then living on Silverthorn and had come down very ill during the winter. Edith Owlett recalls looking up and down Silverthorn for any signs of activity as the weather was so dreadfully bad. She says that much to her great excitement and relief she recalls seeing Victor walking up the street and realized that he was probably coming to bring them the medicine that had been ordered by their doctor.
On March 13th, 1916 Frederick Bodeker enlisted for duty with the 198th Battalion. His description on enlistment indicates that he was 5'10-1/4" tall, had a fresh complexion, blue eyes and fair hair - traits that seem to run through the Gregory family consistently. He also had three distinctive tatoos on his right arm and eventually those aided in his identification at death. Fred shipped overseas aboard the 'Metagama' arriving in Liverpool, England on 17 April 1917. After serving briefly as acting Lieutenant his designation reverted back to Private. On 20 May 1917 he was stationed at Witley camp in Surrey, England not too far outside of Godalming. By May 27th he was assigned to the intelligence course and on 1 March 1918 landed in France. Fred was killed in action 28 August 1918 while serving with the 2nd Canadian Mounted Rifles. He was buried at Vis-en-Artois, France and decorated with the British War Medal and the Victory medal. Fred's death deeply affected his sisters. Minnie never accepted his death and for years attempted to find some evidence that he remained alive. Lill named her third child, who was born three months after Fred's death, in remembrance of the cemetary where he was buried - Matilda 'Artois' Owlett.
Ann returned to England with her daughter Edith and George Sharp circa 1917/18. Edith and George had became very disillusioned with life in Canada. Their store had suffered complete destruction in a fire and Edith was having great difficulty in understanding the Canadian currency system having been used to the pounds, shillings, pence system in use in England. At first, upon their return to England, Edith and George Sharp operated a public house in Chatham, Kent. by the time of Fred's death in 1918 their abode was the Rose Inn, Wheeler Street, Maidstone. No word had been heard from Edith's descendants from the time of her death during the 1950s until I (Susan) was able to finally track down Pamela Harrison (nee Sharp) during summer 2003.
For a time Lill and her daughters worked at Neilsen's chocolate factory in Toronto. Alice, Lill's eldest daughter, was gifted musically and spent many hours playing her violin at hospitals and hospices. Alice however, had a very tragic marriage and she felt as if she had been the cause of her baby's death. Alice turned away from the support of her family and eventually died as a result of years of alcohol abuse. Matilda, Tilly as she was known, died at the age of 55 unmarried. She too, had not had great success in finding a mate and after her last beau spurned her she took to eating nothing but wieners. Matilda died of cancer. I can remember visiting Silverthorn Avenue at least once during the severest part of Tilly's illness. I was about 7 years old but I can clearly remember that she was up in her bedroom and unable to come down. The adults, only, were allowed to go up to visit with her.

Anne of Gloucester, Countess of Stafford (30 April 1383 - 16 October 1438) was the eldest daughter and eventually sole heiress of Thomas of Woodstock, 1st Duke of Gloucester (the fifth surviving son and youngest child of King Edward III), by his wife Eleanor de Bohun, one of the two daughters and co-heiresses of Humphrey de Bohun, 7th Earl of Hereford, 6th Earl of Essex (1341-1373) of Pleshy Castle in Essex.
Family
Anne was born on 30 April 1383 and was baptised at Pleshey, Essex, sometime before 6 May. Her uncle, John of Gaunt (third son of King Edward III), ordered several payments to be made in regards to the event.[2]
Her father was the youngest son of Edward III of England and Philippa of Hainault. Her mother was Eleanor de Bohun, the daughter of Humphrey de Bohun, 7th Earl of Hereford, and Joan Fitzalan. Her mother was also a great-great-granddaughter of Edward I.
Sole heiress and Countess of Buckingham
At the death of her brother Humphrey, 2nd Earl of Buckingham, in 1399, Anne was the co-heiress together with her two sisters Joan and Isabel, to his estates and titles.[3][4] Anne became the sole heiress of the family's estate and titles in 1400, as one of her sisters, Joan, having died on 16 August 1400, and the other, Isabel, having become a nun.[5]
She was subsequently recognized (and thereafter succeeded) as suo jure Countess of Buckingham, Hereford and Northampton as well as succeeding to the titles of Lady of Brecknock and Holderness[6][7].
Anne did however not use these titles, and instead styled herself as Countess of Stafford.[8]
On Anne's death, in 1438, the title of Buckingham (as well as her other titles) passed to her son Humphrey Stafford, Earl of Stafford, who in 1444 was created Duke of Buckingham. This title remained in the Stafford family until the attainder and execution of Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham, in 1521.
Marriage with Thomas Stafford, 3rd Earl of Stafford
Anne married three times. Her first marriage was to Thomas Stafford, 3rd Earl of Stafford (1368 - 4 July 1392), and took place around 1390. The couple had no children. After her husband's death, Anne married his younger brother Edmund.

Apparently a well known runner.
There is a death notice which would seem, unless the age was incorrectly recorded, to overturn or disprove that this fellow's father was the proprietor of the Tuapeka Times in New Zealand.

FERGUSON. About 3rd March, at MonteVideo, of yellow fever, John Ferguson (serving as third engineer on s.s. Weighbridge) fourth son of Andrew Ferguson (at one time proprietor of Tuapeka Times, Lawrence); aged 22 years.
When combined with this marriage notice, there is a definite disconnect between this Andrew Ferguson and the man who was at Lawrence, New Zealand:
Tuapeka Times, Volume V, Issue 262, 6 February 1873, Page 4
Marriage
Ferguson - Wilson On the 3rd February, at Port Chalmers, by the Rev. James Maxwell, Andrew Ferguson, of Lawrence, to Christina, second daughter of Mr. Lewis Wilson, of Craigston, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. | FERGUSON, John Nutt (I6451)

Apparently, there is a legend in existance that indicates that William Penny came to Newfoundland with two brothers, one of which also settled in Trinity Bay. "Three brothers, from Devon or Cornwall, came to Newfoundland, two settled at English Harbour (Trinity B.) and the third at Indian Islands (MUN Folklore)."
A descendant of the third brother at Indian Islands may be Charles of Indian Islands (Fogo district) 1858 (DPHW 83)
A 1753 census of Heart's Content reveals that there are two Penny men living there at that time: Robert Penney and George Penney. Inasmuch as this William had a son named Robert (for which there is no christening date) it is highly possible that Robert was the first born child of William and Ann's marriage. If that is the case, then it may be a strong indication that William's father was named Robert Penny. Robert is one of those names that tend to follow in families and is not normally given without some strong ancestral connection to another significant Robert in a family. | PENNY, William (I198)

The arms are identical, but the Editor has been unable to trace the connection In Week St. Mary registers the name is spelt indiscriminately Aleigh, Alleigh, Alee, and Leigh, but since 1700 it has been always Leigh.

Date: c1240-1825
Held by: Cheshire Archives and Local Studies, not available at The National Archives
Language: English
Creator:
Leigh family of West Hall, Cheshire
Custodial history:
It is clear that the Leigh family charters (no. 3 above) and some at least of the untitled group (no. 4 above) were known to, and used by Sir Peter Leycester, the 17th Century antiquary and historian of Cheshire. Several of the Westhall deeds are calendared in Sir Peter's manuscript books drawn up between 1664 and 1666 which are now in the Cheshire Record Office (ref. DLT/B2 and 3). Interestingly, his notes include various deeds which were then at Westhall which are now no longer in the collection. Unfortunately, his interests concentrated on Bucklow Hundred, and there is no evidence that he saw or used the Jodrell deeds or those of the Knutsford and Booth families. In the early years of the nineteenth century, the collection was extensively used and calendared by the Rev. Peter Leigh, second son of Egerton Leigh of Westhall; many of the deeds have his initials endorsed. He also corresponded with George Ormerod, the historian of Cheshire, in the 1840s.
The Twemlow:Knutsford and Booth deeds presumably passed to the Leighs of Westhall when Egerton Leigh bought the Booth family estate in Twemlow in 1862. The Jodrell deeds, on the other hand, can probably be traced to the marriage of Egerton Leigh and Elizabeth, daughter and co-heiress of Francis Jodrell of Yeardsley in 1778. In 1881, Egerton Leigh entrusted his records to J.P. Earwaker, who had a particular interest in the history of Cheshire and Lancashire, and acquired a large collection of books and manuscripts on the subject, as well as making extensive notes on the records of others. (His papers are now in the Chester City Record Office). Earwaker appears to have been responsible for sorting, arranging and endorsing them. In his report, dated 27th February 1883, he writes: "The Deeds were in a state of great confusion when they reached me ... By far the greatest number of the deeds were without any endorsement, and these had become mixed up with the few that were endorsed [by Peter Leigh], and had then been roughly stored away in the various boxes of all shapes and sizes, in which they reached me". The report divided the collection into four sections: "1. Deeds relating to the family of Leigh of the Westhall, High Leigh; 2. Deeds relating to the family of Leigh of the Easthall, High Leigh; (sic); 3. Miscellaneous deeds relating to Cheshire; 4. Miscellaneous Deeds relating to Lancashire and chiefly to Manchester". The first group appears to be the "Leigh family charters" (no. 3 in the list of contents); the second group was transferred by Egerton Leigh at Earwaker's suggestion to the Cornwall-Legh family of Easthall and is presumably among the records deposited in the John Rylands Library in Manchester in 1951; the third group is the untitled group of deeds ( no. 4 on the list of contents) and the Jodrell charters (no. 1 on the list of contents); the fourth group was given to Mr Earwaker by Egerton Leigh. Earwaker also had various family papers bound up into the seven volumes now in the collection. He also saw the Calico bag containing Peter Leigh's notes, and the collection of family pedigrees (including a pedigree of the Jodrell family, now not with the collection). The deeds of the former Booth family estate in Twemlow (no. 2 on the list of contents) were not lent to Earwaker until after he had completed his report; but he quoted from them in his "History of the ancient parish of Sandbach," published in 1890. By 1889, it appears that most of the collection as we now see it was back at Westhall, where it probably remained until the house was sold in 1924.
The collection is unusual in that it contains, almost exclusively, mediaeval material, and fewer of the seventeenth and eighteenth century leases and accounts which one would expect to find in a complete estate archive collection. This process of selection can also be attributed to Earwaker who, in a letter dated 20th Dec. 1882, refers to "sorting out those [documents] to take with me", and states that "Most of the later leases etc were left behind".
By 1932 the collection was in the possession of Major T.V. Booth-Jones, a descendant of the Booths of Twemlow, and it was probably he who had the deeds listed at the College of Arms. (Col. Malet of the National Register of Archives, in a letter written in 1951, refers to "the lists made at the Heralds College".)
===============================================================================
Highleigh, Cheshire
Unusually this village was the seat of two ancient landed gentry families for generations, namely: Leigh of West Hall and Cornwall-Legh of East Hall. Both halls have now been demolished, but both families are still represented today, the head of the "West Hall" family being Sir Edward Leigh MP but no longer associated or living within the parish and that of the "East Hall" family headed by Richard, 6th Baron Grey of Codnor. A member of a cadet branch of the Leigh of West Hall family was created a baronet in 1773 for Sir Egerton Leigh, but this title is now dormant and other cadet branches were the Leigh-Traffords of nearby Oughtrington Hall as well as the Barons Leigh of Stoneleigh Abbey in Warwickshire and the Barons Newton of Lyme Park. The third lordship of the manor was held by the Egerton family of Tatton and all three landed families swapped and consolidated their estates throughout the 18th and 19th centuries until the Egerton Leighs sold their High Legh estate to the Cornwall-Leghs just before World War I. When Maurice, 4th and last Lord Egerton of Tatton, sold off the remaining farms and land in High Legh in the 1930s, so ended a connection dating back to the 13th century.
East Hall was demolished in the early 1970s (while West Hall had been some 20 years previously) and the debris was used as foundations for the first Thelwall Viaduct bridge of the M6. High Legh Hall (the East Hall) resembled nearby Tatton Park and the West Hall (Egerton Leigh family) was a beautiful Tudor building similar architecturally to Little Moreton Hall.
In a mainly agricultural area, its proximity to Manchester and the area now known as Gold Trafford, has made it nowadays a most desirable residential area.
High Legh was recorded in the Domesday Survey as having two Saxons theins (Ulviet or Wulfgeat, and Dob). The boundary between Mere and High Legh is still known as Dobb Lane and is in fact the medieval boundary between the two parishes. A moated site was found some years before, alongside the Roman road which connected Wilderspool and Latchford to Watling Street (A556) and contained Samian pottery from Cirencester, a Roman cloak clasp and a beautiful flint knife. High Legh was also a high-status Bronze Age burial site. High Legh is the location of an early Methodist chapel in Northwood Lane, with Wesleyan connections. Northwood Methodist Chapel was founded by the Okell family of High Legh (who married into the Egerton Leigh (West Hall) family). In the early 19th century, Robert Moffat, a Scottish lad, came to work on the West Hall estate as a gardener, but in 1814 he joined the London Missionary Society and moved to Plantation Farm in Dukinfield. In 1816 he left with his wife for southern Africa where he became a missionary; his daughter met and fell in love with their student preacher, David Livingstone. The oldest building in the parish is believed to be St Mary's Chapel, formerly the domestic chapel of the Cornwall-Legh family of High Legh Hall (or East Hall), which is sometimes open to the public. However, other older buildings in the parish contain wattle and daub but no evidence of their dates is yet established. The Anglican Church of St John was formerly the domestic chapel of the Leighs of West Hall (Egerton Leigh family).
The park of East Hall, High Legh was laid out by Humphrey Repton for George John Legh in 1791, and John Nash was also engaged to create an idyll village (never completed). Repton removed the old toll road (the original Roman road) and dropped it to its present position (A50), removing the village and creating a more enclosed entrance to the estate and pleasure gardens.
Both mansions were used by the Government for the training of Royal Engineers during World War II after the families moved out; they never returned to their respective halls and subsequently sold the internal section of the estate to two building companies, Wimpey Homes and Crossley Homes. In the 1980s more of the estate pleasure gardens was sold off for housing to Ideal Homes. In the 1990s another estate was built on the former Army camp buildings, now known as The Belfry. All the street names in these developments have a connection with the history of High Legh through either one of the ancient landed families (Legh & Leigh), prominent people within the parish or parts of the former park (Pheasant Walk).

Email received from Dion Loach 10 Apr 2009:
Hi Susan,
I have no relationship to the Owlett family. My interest comes from researching the 50 names from WWI on my local cenotaph over many years. Thanks to the internet and the willingness of many people to share / exchange their research, I have been able to make great progress in the last 2 years and learn a great deal about the CEF. And I find it very gratifying to be able to help someone else with their own research.
Pte. William John Owlett had, until recently, been one of the enigmas on my list..... I had very little on him. I was baffled as to why his name was on the cenotaph because I had such a difficult time finding anything to link him to my area. I was beginning to wonder if it was a misspelling or variation of a common French name, Ouelette. Finally I found a mention of him in our local newspaper from July 1919 which indicated he stayed at the home of a well known local family when he was here. As a locomotive fireman he probably would have travelled extensively. It also mentioned that he was with the T. & N.O., which is the Temiskaming & Northern Ontario railway, which finally linked him to New Liskeard in some way.
Last year I acquired his CEF personnel file, and recently I began looking on Ancestry.ca to see what I could find. It was a pleasant surprise that things seemed to quickly fall into place. The Will (a form) in his CEF file named a brother Albert Arthur Owlett of Maleval, SK and a sister Mrs. Annie Miller (wife of Albert W. Miller) of Beachburg, ON.
I was able to find Albert Arthur Owlett in the 1901 and 1906 Census, which both have him in Manitoba. I have also found that he received a Western Land Grant in Saskatchewan.
Albert along with William appear on a passenger list of the Sardinian which arrived at port in Quebec City, Quebec 9 Jul 1894. On this list is written "Dr. Barnardo's party", which leads me to believe they were either orphaned or came from a family that was destitute. William appears in the 1901 census as a "domestic" with the family of James & Lavina Brodie in Whitchurch, ON.
Annie appears in the 1901 census as the daughter of John J. & Annie E. James of Bridgeburg, ON. In the 1911 census she is a boarder at the Hawn household of Bertie Township, Welland County, ON. She marries Albert W. Miller on 12 Sep 1911 in Bridgeburg, Welland County, ON. Her record of marriage shows John J. James and Annie E. Hawn as her adopted parents, and it seems logical to conclude that the Hawn household she is living at in 1911 is a relation to her adopted mother. Annie appears with Emily on the passenger list of the Sardinian which arrived at port, either Quebec City or Montreal, 22 Oct 1892. The girls are also part of a Dr. Barnardo party, but they came over almost 2 years earlier than their brothers. Again, it was an assumption that they were sisters given that the name Owlett seems to be uncommon. Sadly, Emily dies 1 Sep 1897 in Emily Township, Victoria County, ON. Her record of death indicates she was born in Kent, ENG.
At that point, I believed that I had only the parents and one other sister to identify to complete the immediate family of Pte. Owlett. I wasn't sure that I would ever be able to determine the parents or their fate. All that I had on the remaining sister was a card from William's CEF file which named a Mrs. Fowler of 72 West St., Faversham, Kent as a sister. As luck would have it, a fellow researcher pointed me in the direction of your site and those missing pieces were filled in!
You can find a copy of Pte. Owlett's CEF file here ..... it's approx. 55MB in size (28 pages).
The various images, etc. regarding the Owlett family I have gathered can be found here
One other thing of interest that I made a note of: Pte. Owlett was listed as missing, presumed dead which indicates his body was not recovered at or near the time of his death. However, his body must have been one of those recovered and somehow identified after the war as he is listed as being buried in Loos British Cemetery, Pas de Calais, France here
Based on what has been found so far, it would seem that the only possible living descendants in Canada from the Owlett family would come from Annie and Albert Miller. William and Emily both died fairly young, and so far there is no record that Albert ever married.
Of course, I would be very interested in anything you might discover about William J. Owlett, and if you happen to know the cause of death of his parents. I am also generally interested in the immediate family (marriages, dates and cause of death, etc.) as they sometimes lead to interesting details that may never have been found otherwise. Sometimes following up and reading the obituary of a brother or sister who lived to be 80+ or 90+ years old turns up additional information on the soldier / family. I generally don't look into the next generation (ie: children of a soldiers' brothers and sisters), but I have noted that very often one of these children are named in honour of the fallen soldier. Ideally my co-researcher and I would like to be able to provide at least some basic background information on every man on our list so that they can be portrayed as something more than just another faceless name and number.
I hope this information if of use to you. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions (or problems accessing the files).

Greetings,
I am researching William John Owlett who enlisted with the Canadian Expeditionary Force and was killed 21 Aug 1917. I just discovered his family as part of your family tree at the website mentioned in the subject line. It helps fill in some of the gaps I had, particularly in regards to his parents. If you are interested, I have images of a number of forms / documents in regards to William John Owlett (including his CEF personnel file), Albert Arthur Owlett, and Emily Owlett (who died in Canada 1897). As well, I have some for another sister, Annie E. Owlett who does not appear on your site. The 4 Owlett children who came to Canada appear to be some of the many Barnardo children.

Description
English: Mural monument to Tobie Newcourt (d.1612) of Pickwell in the parish of Georgeham, Devon. Pickwell Chapel of St George's Church, Georgeham. John Newcourt bought the manors of Georgeham and Pickwell in 1560. The oldest inscribed tomb in the churchyard is that of John Newcourt who died in 1602.
The monument is dedicated to his son Tobie Newcourt. The sculpture shows busts of six persons, two per row. It is thought to represent Tobie, his son John Newcourt and John's four sons John, William, Tobias and another John. The two female heads represent the wives of Tobie and his son. The inscription is now nearly illegible but was recorded many years ago as follows:
"To the pios memorie of Tobie Newcourt of Pickwell in this parish Esqr who married Mary third daughter of Arthur Harris of Heane Esqr by whom he had one son John and three daughters Elizabeth, Jane and Margaret. John (whose effigies is here presented) was buried the 6 June 1645 he married Mary the daughter of William Fry of Yeartie Esqr, by whom he had four sonnes John, Tobie, William and John. Jane the daughter of the said Tobie survived her two sisters her brother and all his four sonnes. She married Gregorie the son of Henry Chichester of Bittadon Gent, who erected this monument A. D. 16??" (From: A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE CHURCH IN GEORGEHAM by Denise Smith and Brian Harris, Georgham PCC, 2007[1])
Arthur Harris (1561-1628) of Hayne, in the parish of Stowford, 11 miles SW of Okehampton, Devon, was Sheriff of Cornwall in 1603 and was Captain of St Michael's Mount in Cornwall.

About Kenegie Manor – a grand manor house in Cornwall
A grand and elegant building, Kenegie Manor house in Cornwall is steeped in history. Built over 500 years ago, our Cornish manor estate enjoys a prime location near Penzance. It has prospered over the centuries through the different families’ ownership.
It was first owned by the Tripconey family, who were at the helm until they became embroiled in the Cornish rebellion – with the house eventually being confiscated by the Crown. Kenegie Manor then passed into the hands of the Harris family who, under Elizabeth I, flourished. The house was expanded and the family were appointed Lieutentants of Cornwall by Sir Walter Raleigh and were given responsibility for defending St Michael’s Mount. However, Harris was later convicted for Royalist activities by Oliver Cromwell’s Parliamentary forces. The last male member of the Harris family died in 1775 and the estate transferred to William Arundell, who later changed his name to Harris.
In 1884 William Arundrell’s grandson sold Kenegie Manor to a London surgeon, who restored the property. But, due to his failing health in 1886 Kenegie then passed into the hands of the Bolitho family – who had made their fortune in Cornwall’s tin and copper mining heyday.
The family who visited the hills above Gulval in Tudor times and decided to build a mansion there must have been inspired – by the views over Mount’s Bay towards St Michael’s Mount, by the fields and countryside surrounding the estate and by the feelings of peace and calm which Kenegie Manor exudes.

Not content with a mansion they clearly needed a summerhouse, built over 500 years ago to capitalise on the sea views. Still boasting Tudor features this summer house now claims the centre of the park, evoking the same atmosphere of mystery the original owners must have experienced.
In later years when the Harris family assumed their duties as guardians of the Mount what better place could they have found than Kenegie from which to fulfil their brief. Their hilltop retreat afforded them views over the bay giving them advanced warning of invading ships and pirate activity.
Whilst little has been written about the history of Kenegie local folklore tells it played its part in pivotal moments in Cornwall’s past life. Maintaining this heritage is of key importance to us here at Kenegie. Once again Kenegie is in the hands of a family which appreciates its location, its atmosphere and its place in history.
With the help of local friends of Kenegie we are now embarking on extensive research to uncover fully the history of this remarkable Estate in Cornwall so that visitors may fully appreciate not only the present day at Kenegie but also its undeniable historical significance. | HARRIS, Arthur Esq. (I14836)
