Just some notes on the (Houghton) Brown family:

Jack Houghton Brown of Lower Pertwood, Hindon, Salisbury, Wilts., formerly also of Hill Deverill Manor farm, Wilts., farmer, Hon. Col., 4th Battalion, Wiltshire Regiment, Territorial Army, Lt-Col, 1st Battalion, Wiltshire Regiment 1943-5, 5th Battalion, Wiltshire Regiment 1941-3, staff officer, Eastern Command (Hounslow) 1940-1.

He was s. of Archibald Houghton Brown (1865-1950), of Orchard Cottage, Fisherton Delamere, Wylye, Wilts., formerly of Witheridge, N. Devon, formerly of Wateringbury, Kent, G.P., and his second wife (m. 1905), Agnes Mary, dau. of William Stratton, and sister of Charles Harris Stratton, of Hill Deverill Manor farm, Wilts., and Heathcliffe, Sneydpark, Clifton, Glos.; the former property he left to his nephew Jack Houghton Brown, who sold it that same year (1940).

A. H. Brown's first wife (m. 1890) was Charity (1870-1923), dau. of  Westwood (in 1871 and 1881 census records, she appears in the family of Thomas Bones, of Danbury, Essex [her birthplace], alongside his wife, Sarah, and their son and two daughters, all 'Bones'; the 1871 census also features an Emily Westwood, born Chelmsford, 1851, 'daughter-in-law' [this, in older usage, also meaning 'stepdaughter', which might be relevant here] of Thomas Bones; there is a marriage record for a Thomas Bones and Sarah Westwood at Chelmsford in Sep. 1851, which I tentatively conclude to be this couple; possibly therefore Emily Westwood was issue by Sarah's first marriage, if one existed, or natural issue, whether of Thomas Bones and Sarah Westwood prior to their marriage, or otherwise). Charity married secondly, in 1912, Robert Smerger Albert Drought (1871-1951), M.B., B.Ch., of Brabourne, Collington Avenue, Bexhill-on-Sea, Sussex. [n.b.- possibly of one of the three families of that name- all Irish- listed in Burke's Family Index? His birth record gives his birthplace as Cork, and a baptismal record gives his parents as Robert Seymour Drought and Annie Lunham; Walford's County Families of 1886 lists Robert Seymour Drought, Esq., of Ridgemount, nr Frankford [now Kilcormac] King's Co. [now County Offaly]' whose son, Robert Seymour, b. 1828, of Pembroke, Passage West, co. Cork m. 1864, Annie, only dau. of Thomas Lunham, of Cork. A check of the estates owned by the Drought families in BFI shows that Whigsborough and Lettybrook are both in Offaly, making a link to one- or both- of these families (if one is a cadet branch of another) likely. BLG 1847 vol. II, under 'Seymour of Ballymore Castle', indicates the marriage of a Robert Drought, of Ridgemont, King's Co. to Eliza, dau. of Joseph Seymour (fl. 1760), whose grandson, Henry, by his eldest son and heir, Thomas, married Eliza, dau. of Robert Drought, of Ridgemont.]

A daughter of A. H. Brown's first marriage, Stella Charity Mildred (1903-1950), m. 1932, Harley Uncless Suart (1902-1953), of Bourne Cottage, Broxbourne, Herts., s. of Arthur Benjamin Suart; Harley Suart, per BLG 18th ed., vol. I. (1965), 'Cator of Woodbastwick' [Dorothy Cator's mother's family, Benson, appears in the second vol., (1969), but I don't have it and can't view anything on Google books], m. 2nd, 1951, Dorothy Jean, dau. of Douglas Cator, of The Old Pest House (sic.- not 'Peat'; it was built in 1763 as an isolation house against smallpox by Thomas Dimsdale, of Port Hill House [itself also known as 'The Inoculation House']), Bengeo, Hertford, Herts.

A. H. Brown s. of Henry Brown (1825-), of Christchurch Road, Lambeth, formerly of Battersea, chartered public accountant, and his wife Louisa (possibly 'Houghton'; all their children bore this as a middle name/ compound surname; there is an 1860 marriage at Marylebone for Henry Brown and Louisa Houghton, and the children's births would fit with this.) I was unable to identify a death (thus no probate record) for Henry Brown.

Herbert Coulson Gardner, 1st and last Baron Burghclere, was a "pre-marriage" son of Alan Legge Gardner, 3rd Baron Gardner. The 3rd Baron Gardner was a maternal grandson of Robert Smith, 1st Baron Carrington, founder of that branch of the sprawling Abel Smith banking family. One of Lord Burghclere's other daughters, Evelyn, was the first wife of the writer Evelyn Waugh; weren't  they nicknamed She-Evelyn and He-Evelyn? I can't tell you the current status of the Barony of Gardner. Out-of-wedlock births played havoc with the title (as happened with several peerages); at some point there were Gardner claimants in India.

Thanks very much!  I had not seen this posting, and had followed the usual sources instead. So, if I understand it correctly, Chiverton's mother was actually Arabella Bennett, sister of St.John Bennett, and not Anne, the daughter of St.John Bennett. And if so, then the descent I posted is correct except for that one generation and should read:

Hon. Elizabeth St.John; m.George Bennett (d.1657)

|

Arabella Bennett; m.Thomas Hartopp, of Quorndon (1655-1727)

|

Chiverton Hartopp (1690-1759); m.Catharine Mansfield (1701-1755)

Do I understand it correctly? Please let me know if I do not.   Thanks again!
