Cork / Re: Anthony Perrier JP
« on: Wednesday 28 December 11 12:35 GMT (UK) »
My husband is great grandson of Henry Horace Newman Wheeler and his wife Julia.
One of their sons was Henry Quintin Osborne Wheeler, born 1888, died 1964. He married Dora Paterson in 1914. They had 2 children, another Henry Quintin Osborne Wheeler born 1916 and Sheila Marjorie born 1923.
The reason father and son had identical names is that the older one went to serve during World War One and was reported missing while Dora was pregnant. She did not expect him to return alive and named her son by his fathers names. But father did survive! We have press obitiaries for Henry and Dora.
Sheila married Herbert Hutchinson who died in the 1980's, and she lives in Oxfordshire.
Henry Quintin Osborne Wheeler married Jessie Dingwall in 1950, and they had two children, my husband, Alexander Quintin Henry Wheeler born January 1951 and Elizabeth Catherine born 1956. Alexander (known as Alastair) married me, Bridget, in 1974, and we have two children Catherine Alexandra born 9 -8-78 and Jennifer Mary born 29-4-1981. Jennifer married Christopher Durrant in 2007.
Hope you're keeping up with all this! Resorted to paper yet?!
Both Henry Quintin Osbornes, Dora and Sheila were all qualified medical doctors; Dora was one of the first ever women doctors to qualify, training in Edinburgh. My husband is a clergyman, currently Vicar of St Cuthbert's Wells, Somerset and Prebendary of Wells Cathedral.
Sheila and Bert Hutchinson married late and had no children.
Elizabeth Catherine, my husbands sister, married Robert Robertson in 1980, and they have two children, Iain and Claire. Iain married Sarah Dec 2010.
Auntie Sheila has passed down to us various items from the past, including a large tray presented to Henry Horace Newman Wheeler by the Royal Galway Yacht Club when he moved to Waterford from Galway; also a painting of Robin Redbreast rocks in Waterford, and a box presented to "Louisa" on her wedding day in 1841 containing all sorts of useful items of habadashery and stationery for a young bride.
We are in possession of a small number of photos of Henry Horace Newman Wheeler, and one of him in army uniform alongside Julia.
We also have a number of miniature paintings, including for example Henry Wheeler, father of Henry Horace Newman, and one of each of Sir Anthony Perrier and his wife. Also included are James Black and Jane Vereker - see other posts.
We traced the Osburne connection some years ago, and went to Lindville in Black Rock County Cork. This was the mental institution set up by Dr Osburne - the spelling of the surname varies - Osburne / Osborne. We have photos of the buildings, both the hospital itself and the family home next door with grounds running down to the sea, much as in the 1800's.
In Black Rock church is a plaque "Sacred to the memory of Dr John Osburne, Lindville died 27th June 1897, also of his son Cecil Anthony Perrier Osburne, Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons, Edinburgh who died 24th January 1922 at Old Catton, Norwich and is buried there. They devoted their lives to the care of the afflicted"
We have a hand-written nearly decipherable Wheeler family tree back to 1640.
Further information available if needed, but stopping here for now.
