Curate in Barthomley
« on: Tuesday 18 October 11 22:12 BST (UK) »
Can anyone with access to information on Barthomley throw any light on the reasons why my 3xG grandfather Rev Thomas St Hill might have been working  at the church there?
 He and his wife Harriett have a daughter there in 1856 called Amy and on her birth cert Thomas is noted as a curate.
Prior to 1856 I have Thomas and Harriet in Trinidad (where Thomas was born in 1825) and they had a son there in 1849. I also have information saying that Thomas was ordained  in Jamaica sometime before that.
Harriet was born in London to Henry Manwell who was involved with the setting up of schools in the early 1800s. What I would love to know how Thomas and Harriett got to be in Barthomley.  Thomas father was a plantation owner and his mother is on the slave returns with Thomas and his siblings but is not married to Thomas father (John Randall st Hill)
ANY information gratefully received !

Thanks

Hi,

This is just for interest but Google Books has (full transcript) of "Barthomley in Letters from a former rector to his eldest son" (by Rev. Hinchcliffe) dated 1856

If nothing else there is a nice plate of Barthomley from the rectory gate (3rd page in but please note it is not numbered you'll have to scroll from the start)
