William Bury Hender

     William Bury Hender was born in Callington about 1809 where his father, William Hender, Surgeon had settled with his wife Elizabeth Bury whom had married in Crediton, Devon on 31 July 1807. The following transcribed record provided by the Callington Heritage Center recorded his 'baptism.' And later the OPC also added it to their parish records accumulation.

  |Callington | Baptism | Annabella Ann| HENDER  | 24-Jul | 1812 | " | William & Elizabeth, | " |

This is the basic information from the record of baptisms of William Bury Hender
and his sister Annabella Ann Hender, the son and daughter of William Hender and
Elizabeth Bury, who were married on 30 July 1807 at Crediton, Devon. William
Bury Hender was born with his baptisms completed before my 3rd great grandparents
married. And the two separate baptisms of Annabella Hender, daughter of William
Hender, Surgeon and Gentleman and his wife Elizabeth Bury, and that of Elizabeth
Rowe Hender, duaghter of William Hender, clock and watchmaker and his wife
Elizabeth Rowe where done in 1812, meaning that neither are most likely NOT the
daughter of either of the other two parents. My Wiliam Hender was a cousin of the
father of William Bury Hender, who was also named William Hender. My ancestors,
William Hender and Elizabeth Rowe married in Callington in 1811, two years after
the baptism/birth of William Bury Hender. That recorded marriage is also listed
below as also so recorded by the Callington Heritage Centre, in the same year
William Hender and Elizabeth Bury had likely conceived their second and child. My
ancestors would give birth to their first child, Elizabeth Rowe Hender, in the next
year 1812 after their marriage per that parish record. This is given to help aid in
the sorting out of the two families.

Thus William Bury Hender's father was married in 1807, his father's cousin, his
uncle, was married in Callington to Elizabeth Row[e] in 1811. There were actually
three William Hender familes living and working in the Callington business district,
William Hender Surgeon, William Hender Clock and Watch Maker, and William
Hender Inn Keeper. The following is my 3rd Great Grandfather's marriage record as
given by the Callington Heritage Centre as listed below.

    William Bury Hender is also my cousin, though distant for sure, as we share the common ancestor 'great grands' of John Hender and Grace Luskey, my 5^th great grandparents and but William Bury Hender's great grandparents. Now it is just absured the way some 'genealogists', as they may think of themselves, BUT ARE NOT, build their prescribed pedigrees. For example:

William Bury Hender is not son of William Hender clockmaker and Elizabeth Rowe nor the husband of Elizabeth Ann Peter. He is not a 'Corn Dealer' or 'Cordwainer'. William Bury Hender was a Medical Physican. Look at the census records [1881 Census ED1 Civil Parish of Callington, Folio 26 Page 45]. William Bury Hender was an MD schooled at Edinburgh [Edinburgh Medical School]. And his children were such as Elizabeth Rose Anne Hender and Herbert Langley Hender. William Bury Hender was the son of William Hender, surgeon and Elizabeth Bury. My 3rd great grandparents, were his 2nd cousins not his parents. ~ His profession is WRONG ~ His parents are WRONG ~ His wife is WRONG ~ His children W R O N G !

As to the death and fate of his wife and two youngest children, one may presume that they removed to live with family out of Cornwall, perhaps first to Devon. My database shows she died in the 3rd quarter 1897 at Cardiff, England. Those interested should look for her birth at Stoke Damerel, Plymouth, Devon beginning in the year of 1823. As for their children, my database states their full names as Laura Louisa Hender, William Brimacombe Hender, Robert Bone Hender, Herbert Langley Hender, and Elizabeth Rose Ann Hender. Elizabeth Rose Ann Hender I have as a spinster and a death date of 2 November 1926, Glamorganshire, England. Herbert Langley I have marrying a Minnie Author with a will dated 4/9/1940, Llandaff, England and a death date of 15 February 1940. Robert Bone Hender I have being married in Cardiff in 1891 and perhaps this is who the mother ended with. I don't have a line on the other two children.

Morgan,Boarder,S,,22,,Usher in Grammer School, Mon: Portwenydd Exactly what has brought the remaining 'live at home' family to Monmouth, Wales is unknown. I don't know if they still distantly associated themselves as being Welsh with the surname of Hender [Hendower/Hendwr] or not. Yet here they are. I've transribed the record best I can, here is a selected area copy of the entry. click to see enlarged image Monmouthshire District Monmouthshire is in the corner of southeastern Wales bordering England. It lies within the 'Powys' region of the three Princes/Kings of Wales. It is that historic region from once came the Hendower family to Cornwall in the 1300s. A distance from Cornwall yet party to the Cornish, Irish, Scottish and Walsh Celtic kinship of old. Just why did the a 'modern' family of Hender relocated there in/by 1891 from Cornwall?	A Cesus Study The Census is a series of snap-shots of life taken every ten years. Such is the family of William Bury Hender, taking him from age 32 in 1841 (rounded as age 30), age 42 in 1851, age 52 in 1861, age 63 in 1871 and age 72 in 1881. In 1841 William Bury Hender is living at home. Father William is a Surgeon, age 55. Mother Elizabeth's maiden name is Bury—son's middle name. Annabella, sister, is in the household. William is a Physician in practice with father. In 1851, father William Hender is retired, was born in Alternun, general practicioner medicine [not practicing]. Mother Elizabeth had passed away. William B. [Bury] Hender was a graduate Edinburgh and was parcticing, not married, born in Callington. The transcription wrongly attributed the son who was educated at Edinburgh as having no profession and likely in practice. Sister Annabella, unmarried, is living at home. A visitor is 'Eliza R. P. Bone', solicitor's daughter, born Stoke Dameral, Devon. By 1661, William Bury Hender had moved and married Miss Bone. It states he is a Physician, a Graduate of Edinburgh and born in Callington. His wife, Elize P. R. Hender, is reported born in Plymoth Devon-Stoke Dameral. They have three young children, Laura L Hender, William B Hender and Robert B Hender. A visitor confirms the wife's maiden name is Bone as it is a sister-in-law Maria F Bone. Just when life is good fate steps in. William develops health problems as noted by the medical case from the British Home for Incurables. He is afflicted with paralysis and asthma. The case report speaks for itself. On the 1871 census below William is no longer in practice. In 1871 William B Hender, now disabled [see case report above], has moved to Tavistock Row. At age 63 he is retired with confirmation he was born at Callington. Eliza P R [Bone] Hender is his wife, confirmed as of [Stoke Dameral,] Plymouth, Devon. We gain the names of two more children, which now number his five, Laura L Hender, William B Hender, Robert B Hender, Eliza R Hender and Herbert L Hender. Finally, in 1881 we find William Bury Hender, age 72, his full name confirmed. The family is at Tavistock Row, he is still retired from Practice and of Callington. His wife's age is off, but she is Eliza Hender of Plymoth, a Gentlewoman. Only the youngest two children remain at home, Eliza Rose Anne Hender and Hebert Langley Hender. Taken as an album, these decade pictures yield solid identification of Willaim Bury Hender, his parentage, his wife, his profession, who his five children are, and where he was born. Update Recently the family Hender family remnant had moved and was found upon the 1891 Census record in Abergavenny of the District of Monmouthshire, Wales. Other than a son's profession, what brought them to the north of that south coast county? Son William B., single, has returned to live with the family. Is he might be the cause of their moving to Wales? Mother at her age is on her own means and as parent is denoted as the family Head of household. Herbert Langley Hender does have a profession as a 'telegraph clerk' and perhaps the residence in Wales. The best I can make of William B Hender's profession is 'Tatoo in private family.' They do rent to boarders. Note: Though respectfully denoting mother Eliza Hender as Head of the house, it is likely due to the profession(s) of the sons that they are now moved to Monmouthshire, Wales.
