Ninth Generation


339. Henry IVE was born on 7 September 1844 in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. He was baptized on 2 May 1845 in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. He died on 18 June 1918 at the age of 73 in St Andrews Road, Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. Henry was buried on 20 June 1918 at Holy Trinity in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. He had his estate probated in 1919 in London.

The 1861 census finds Henry living in Chesham, Buckinghamshire, he is working as a Brewer's Clerk and is lodging in the household of William DARVELL, a Brewer, the journal kept by Henry's mother states: "Harry articled to Messrs Darvell of Chesham October 17th 1860..

Appears on the 1881 census living at Hart Street, Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire employed as a brewer.

On the 1891 census Henry is living at Market Place, Henley with his second wife Sophia and his children by his first wife, he is described as a Brewer and defined as an employer.

At the time of the baptism of his son Henry in 1894, his address is given as The Farm, Harpsden.

Appears on the 1901 census living in Henley described as a Brewer and Wine and Spirit Merchant.

Registration: R.D. Strand Vol 1b Page 703 between January 1884 and March 1884 . Henry IVE and Maud Mabel BURNABY were married on 21 February 1884 in Savoy Chapel, Strand, London. Maud Mabel BURNABY, daughter of Henry BURNABY, was born on 17 September 1860 in Ramsgate, Kent.
The date of Maud's birth is that contained in family documents, it has not been verified by a birth certificate as a record of her registration has not been found. Death Registration: R.D. Henley Vol 3a Page 521 between January 1888 and March 1888 . She died on 11 February 1888 at the age of 27 at Market Place in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. She was buried on 15 February 1888 in St Mary, Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. Maud was also known as Maud Mary BURNABY.

In 1871 Maud is living at Albion House, Loughton, Essex, the household of James and Fanny COCHRANE, she is described as "adopted". James COCHRANE's occupation is given as "Neither profession or business". Fanny COCHRANE died in 1880, the entry for her in the National Probate Index gives he address as Hope Lodge, Blackheath Hill, which is the same area as Helena CANHAM is living with Maud in 1881.

On the 1881 census, Maud is living at 96 Blackheath Hill, Lewisham, Kent, apparently the home of her mother, who's name is recorded as Helena DRAKE. Helena DRAKE's maiden name was CANHAM so quite how she fits into the scheme of things is a puzzle; also present in the household is Minnie CAMPBELL, who is described as Helena DRAKE's niece. Minnie CAMPBELL appears on the 1871 census as the adopted daughter of John and Ann JADIS, Ann JADIS is Helena's sister.

Maud died in February 1888 a week after the birth of her son Dudley, the burial register for St Mary's, Henley, records her forenames as Maud Mary.

There seems to be no trace of Maud's birth in the GRO indexes, nor does she seem to appear in the 1861 census, there is a Nurse Child named Maud LYONS of the right age and approximate birthplace in a household in Paddington in 1861 and the address does not seem to be that far from where Helena CANHAM is lodging so it is possible that she is Maud BURNABY under a different name.

Henry IVE and Maud Mabel BURNABY had the following children:

The following is a transcript from a report filed with the War Diary of the 6th Service Battalion Oxford and Bucks Light Infantry, the original is held at the National Archives in Kew.

HISTORY OF THE ATTACK on 7th Oct. 1916.

About 11/30 A.M. on the morning of the attack an hostile aeroplane flew over our lines. This aeroplane no doubt saw the concentration of troops for the attack, as considerable hostile shelling broke out about 1/30 P.M. A 77mm Battery was the Battery that apparently had been detailed for this portion of the Enemy?s front. The shelling was searching the front British trench, the assembly trenches in rear, either side of the SUNKEN ROAD running N. from MILLARS SON and considerable concentration of the Road itself the latter was kept up for about six hours making the road very dangerous to travel up and down.

At 1.45 P.M. (Zero Hour) the leading waves moved out of the British line and crawling up to the wire which was some 40 yards in front of our trench lay down, and as the Germans had manned the parapet some 60 yards to the front and was delivering a very hot fire from 6 machine Guns and rifles, our troops answered; shortly afterwards the advance began again some men were able to crawl through the wire, other men were able to move round through gaps, others by placing their feet on the top strand of the wire were able to get through.

The wire obstacle was on single length of Barbed concertina wire extending along the whole of the frontage of the Battalion?s left Company, it was about 2ft. 6in. in height and appeared more of an alarming obstacle that it actually was.

During period ZERO to ZERO plus 4 minutes, Enemy's machine Gun fire was very intense, at the latter time it was silenced, the Enemy left their trenches and ran back towards their second line unarmed, during their retreat our Lewis Guns did considerable damage to them, few Germans got back, and the enemy in the Front Line were bayoneted or surrendered.

The advance from the 1st German trench to the 2nd (MISTY TRENCH) was accomplished with comparatively little loss, although some casualties occurred by Snipers on our extreme right who took advantage of that flank being temporarily in the air; shortly after commencing digging in, a portion of the Division on our right pushed forward their attack and joined up with our troops and thereby made our extreme right secure. I should like to bring the following forward for reward. (attached on A.F.W. 3121)

The above appears to be an edited version of the actual War Diary dated 7th Oct. 1916, there is one important omission, the following appears at the end of the original entry:-

"The Battalion lost most of its Officers early in the attack, "A", "B" + "C" Company Commanders, killed and "D" Coy. Commander severely wounded."

"Casualties:- 13 Officers, 230 Other Ranks"
