Edward Horlock Mortimer II (1786 – 1857)

  < BACK

   1. His childhood

Edward Horlock Mortimer II was born at Trowbridge, Wiltshire, England on 18 April 1786, the second child of Edward Horlock Mortimer I (1752/1756 – 1803) and Elizabeth Bythesea (1764 – 1826).1-5  He was christened on 12 January 1787 at St James Anglican Church when he was ten months old.3,5 Edward received a good education and matriculated on 17 April 1804 at the age of 18 years from Brasenose College, University of Oxford, Oxford, Oxfordshire, England.6,7 Trowbridge lies approximately 65 km north-east of Oxford.8 He was a still a very young man of about 17 years old when his father died.

Brasenose College was founded in 1509 by Sir Richard Sutton, a lawyer and William Smyth, Bishop of Lincoln. A Royal Charter, dated 1512, created the body of Principal and Fellows and established a College to be called ‘The King’s Hall and College of Brasenose’. The College’s unusual name refers to a twelfth century ‘brazen’ (brass or bronze) door knocker in the shape of a nose. Noses have been used as symbols for Brasenose College throughout its history.7

   2. His wife

2.1 Frances Lardner

The 22 year-old Edward Horlock married the 21 year-old Frances Lardner (1788 – Ω6 May 1828), the daughter of Richard Lardner of Tiverton, Devonshire (now Devon), England on 27 May 1808 at Harpford, Devon. The couple had eleven children. Frances died at the age of 40 when her youngest child was a mere four years old. She was interred in St James Churchyard in Trowbridge.1-3,9-122.2 Jane Williams

Edward, aged 45, remarried on 26 October 1831 to Jane Williams at Walcot (now a suburb of Bath) in Somerset, with Louisa Arnett and John Williams signing as witnesses. Edward was residing in Walcot at that time. The bride was the youngest daughter of Colonel Francis Williams of the Royal Marines and niece of General Sir Thomas Picton (1758 – 1815), who died in the Battle of Waterloo during the Napoleonic Wars.1,3.11-14 Together Edward and Jane had six children.

   3. His career

Edward Horlock Mortimer II did not become a clothing merchant like his father, but rather pursued a military career. He travelled extensively and worked in various places while in the service of the military unit of the British East India Company, a company trading in the Indian Ocean region that seized control of large parts of the Indian subcontinent and colonised parts of Southeast Asia and Hong Kong .1,3,15,16 It own armed forces in the form of the company’s three Presidency armies. By the time Edward Mortimer served in the Company’s forces, the British government itself had become more involved in India. The company continued to control commercial policy and lesser administration, but with time the British government increasingly became the effective ruler of India. The Company dissolved after the Indian Mutiny of 1857 to 1858, where thereafter the British government took full, direct control of India.15,16

Little is known about Edward Horlock’s career and his exact whereabouts during his lifetime. Sparse documents such as christening records provide a mere incomplete glimpse. It is known, though, that Edward held the rank of Deputy Lieutenant upon his resignation from the Company.16 It is not entirely sure when he resigned, but is seems to have been shortly after his marriage to his first wife in 1808, when he moved to the county of Wiltshire where all his children were christened at Trowbridge between 1809 and 1823.17-25 At the christening of his daughter, Frances Lucy, in 1814, his occupation was recorded as engineer.20 He later became the Justice of the Peace (magistrate) for Wiltshire. It is likely during this time that he acquired Studley House in the small village of Studley in Wiltshire,26,27 about 3 km west of Calne, 23 km east of Bath and 25 km northeast of Trowbridge. Three years after his first wife passed away in 1828, he remarried in 1831 in the county of Somerset at Walcot near Bath, and settled in Green Park, Bath.13,14 By 1841, he seemed to have moved his family to Clifton, Bristol, and by 1851 to Marylebone, London.28-31 Six years later he passed away, while still residing in London. In spite of moving to London, Edward Mortimer seemingly maintained ownership of Studley House until his death, as mentioned in his death announcement in the The Sun (London) newspaper on 18 November 1857.26

   4. His death

Edward Horlock Mortimer II died at the age of 71 years on 15 November 1857 at Park Place, Kensal Green, adjacent to Buckingham Palace and its large surrounding gardens. He was interred at Kensal Green Cemetery, Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, London.1,3,26,32

   5. His children

Edward Horlock II fathered 15 children altogether. Eleven children (six sons and five daughters) were from his first marriage, and they were:

5.1 Edward Horlock III

Edward Horlock Mortimer was born on 23 May 1809 and baptized on 21 Jun 1809 at Trowbridge. He died soon thereafter.3,17

5.2 Edward Horlock IV

Edward Horlock IV was born on 19 November 1810 at Trowbridge, and christened on 21 December 1810.1,3,18 Edward enlisted in the British Army to follow a military career and served in the 40th Regiment of Foot, a light infantry regiment. By the age of 29 years, while serving in India, he was appointed Lieutenant on 23 October 1833.1,33

He later returned to England and married Anne Elizabeth “Eliza” Hodson on 24 June 1840 at Pultney St Bathwick, with their wedding announcement appearing in the Reading Mercury on 27 June 1840.34-36 She was the daughter of Rev Frodsham Hodson (1770 – 1822), who was the Principal of Brasenose College, Oxford from 1809 until his death.35 Their first child, Edward Hodson Horlock, was christened on 19 April 1841 at Bathwich with Woolley, Bath, Somerset but he died three years later on 28 May 1844. The little boy was laid to rest om 1 June 1844 at Bathhampton, Bath.37-39 Possible other children were noticed in newspaper announcements: the death of Thomas Bythesea Moprtimer on 17 July 1836 in Banger, Wales and the birth of a daughter WJ (initials only) on 23 September 1938.36

Edward Mortimer IV died in 1866 at the age of 55 years at Kensal Green Cemetery, London, where his father was also buried nine years earlier.1,3,40

5.3 Thomas Richard Bythesea

The third child of Edward and Frances Mortimer was called Thomas and was born on 24 March 1812 at Trowbridge, christened on 29 Apr 1812.3,19 He married Catherine Helen Payne (21 February 1815 – 14 May 1872, London) on 21 October 1843 at St Andrew Church in Clifton, Bristol. Catherine was the daughter (ninth child) of Charles Payne (1781 – 1845) and Albinia Selwyn (1780 – 1860). Their wedding was a double matrimonial ceremony where Thomas’ younger brother, John Baskerville, also got married.41-43

Thomas and Catherine’s children were Bourke (*ca 1845, died as an infant), Blanche Kate (1847 – 1849), Bythesea (1849 – 1918, Portsmouth, Hampshire; who married Frances Beatrice Benham in 1888), Charles Lysaght (ca 1850 – 3 March 1937; resided at Redisham Hall, Beccles, Suffolk), Norah (*1852, died young), Sydney (18 Aug 1855 – 7 Jan 1895; buried in the same grave plot as his parents), Georgiana Edith (1857 – 1916) and Jessie (1859 – 24 January 1932). Thomas Mortimer initially served in the military in the 21st Regiment of the Royal North British Fusiliers. On 2 July 1837, he was promoted from Second Lieutenant to First Lieutenant, and at the time of his marriage in 1843, he help the rank of Captain. He later transferred to the 76th Regiment and finally to Her Majesty’s Royal Body Guard. Thomas retired from the military holding the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. He died on 4 May 1889, aged 77, in Paddington, Middlesex, London. He was laid to rest in Kensal Green Cemetery, London, in the same grave plot where his late wife was buried 17 years earlier.14,41,44-48

5.4 Frances Lucy

Her delivery into this world occurred a day after Christmas on 26 December 1813. She was christened on 14 April 1814 at St James Church. The 22 year-old Frances married Captain George Cuthbertson Marshall (21 September 1809, Preston, Lancashire – ?) on 23 January 1835 at Walcot, Somerset. Sadly, she died one year later in 1836, possibly during childbirth or due to complications thereafter.3,20,49,50

5.5 Emma

She was born in 1815, but unfortunately died 17 years later on 9 June 1832 after a short illness characterized with a rapid decline. Her death was announced on 14 June 1832 in the Devizes and Wiltshire Gazette, a newspaper based in Devizes, Wiltshire.3,36

5.6 George Frederick Baskerville

George Frederick Baskerville Mortimer was christened on 18 July 1816 at Trowbridge.3,21 Not much is known about his life, except that he made one appearance in first-class cricket for the Surrey Club against the Marylebone Cricket Club on 7 June 1852 at Lord’s Cricket Ground, London, England. He was not called upon to bat or bowl during the match.51 Two years later on 1 July 1854, he passed away at the age of about 38 years in Geelong, a seaport town in Victoria, Australia, where he was buried at Geelong Eastern Cemetery.52 Why George left England in ca 1853 is uncertain, but the gold rush that followed the discovery of gold in 1851 near Ballarat, 85 km northwest of Geelong, may have been a strong attraction. The Victorian gold rush that lasted from 1851 to the late 1860s caused a major influx of immigrants to these two towns.535.7 John Lewis Bythesea

John Lewis Bythesea Mortimer was born on 17 Dec 1817 at Trowbridge, and christened on 6 March 1818 in St. James Church.3,22 Like his brother Thomas, he also joined the 21st Regiment of the Royal North British Fusiliers. During his enlistment from 1833 until 1840, he was stationed on the island Tasmania where he was promoted from Gentleman Cadet to Second Lieutenant on 9 January 1838. Thereafter he was transferred to Calcutta (now Kolkata) in India, arriving there on the ship Fairelie. He remained there until 1843 when he was reassigned to the Royal Canadian Mounted Rifles in 1843. The following year, in 1844, John Lewis retired from military service and returned to England, having achieved the rank of Captain.54,55

In 1845, at the age of 28, he married Ellen Banbury (ca 1817 – 1877) at Henley, Oxfordshire.55.56 What his occupation was after his retirement and where he lived with family is uncertain, but in 1862, the 45 year-old John, his wife and their family of four sons and three daughters immigrated to New Zealand.53 His wife passed away on 21 July 1877, aged 58, and John Lewis on 4 December 1885 at the age of 68 years at Invercargill, Southland, New Zealand. They were buried at Saint Johns Cemetery, Invercargill.46,55,565.8 John Baskerville

John Baskerville (1819 – 1847) was the eighth child (and sixth son) of Edward and Frances Mortimer 23 and my husband’s great-great-great-grandfather. READ MORE on John Baskerville Mortimer.

5.9 Elizabeth Caroline

She was born on 2 September 1820 at Studley, Trowbridge, and christened on 1 October 1823, aged three years.24 She married William Augustus Townshend Payne (≈10 June 1816, Bristol, Gloucestershire – 2 April 1884, Exeter, Devonshire), then Captain of the 18th Royal Regiment, on 2 June 1842 at Bath, Somerset. He was the son of Charles Payne (1781 – 1845) and Albinia Selwyn (1780 – 1860) of Clifton, Gloucestershire.57-59 A year after her own marriage, Elizabeth’s two older brothers, Thomas Mortimer (see point 5.3) and John Baskerville Mortimer (see point 5.8) respectively married her sisters-in-law, Caroline Helen Payne (1815 – 1872) and Susan Rodon Payne (1820 – 1909), at a joint ceremony.

William Payne later retired from the British Army having achieved the rank of Major. Elizabeth died in 1896 at the age of 75 years, outliving her husband with 12 years.3

5.10 Jemima Maria

Jemima was born in ca 1822 and christened on 1 October 1823 at St James Church in Trowbridge, together with her three year-old sister, Elizabeth. Sadly, she died at the age of nine years on 9 January 1833 and was buried in St. Swithin Churchyard, Bath, Somerset.3,25,60

5.11 Rosina Laura

Rosina came into the world on 26 June 1824. Her mother died when she was four years old. Interestingly, Rosina was only christened on 29 July 1836 at Walcot, Bath when she was already 12 years old, at the same baptismal event as her half-sister, Julia Jane (see 5.12), half-brother, William (see 5.13) and half-sister, Wilhemina (see 5.14). Rosina died in Chelsea, London in 1845, aged 21.28,61

5.12 Julia Jane

She was born on 18 June 1832 at Walcot. Julia was christened four years later on 29 July 1836.29,62 The date of her death is unknown as no more information about her life could be found. She presumably died young.

5.13 William Picton

Thereafter he was ordained by the Bishop of Oxford in 1855 and began his ecclesiastical career with curacies in Shirburn and Exeter. After this, he was Association Secretary of the Church Missionary Society from 1862 to 1866 while he became Vicar of West Hartlepool. In 1871, he became Vicar of Newcastle-upon-Tyne where he stayed for eleven years until his appointment as Archdeacon of Lindisfarne in 1882 where he remained until his death in 1903.”66
