Revised: 07 March, 2024


My grandfather William Hughes was born in Nayland, Suffolk, in 1884. He married Mabel Elizabeth Hatten in 1905 in Nayland, Suffolk, and died in Ipswich, Suffolk, on 30 Jan 1947. He was a grocer with a shop at 30 Wellington Street, Ipswich, in the 1930s and 40s. The children of William Hughes and Mabel Elizabeth Hatten were Cyril William (1905-86), Marjorie Mabel (1906-97), Mildred Elsie (1909-2007) and William Charles (1912-45).

Tradition in the Hughes family is that they were descended from Welsh drovers who brought sheep from Wales to the Suffolk wool markets. Andrew Malcolm Hughes has traced the family back to Thomas Hughes, born 1750 in Aberystwyth, Mid Wales, who married Elizabeth Green in Layham, Suffolk (near Hadleigh), on 5 Nov 1772. The family names is spelled "Hughes", "Hewes", "Hews" or even "Hues" in documents and censuses. Sometime brothers living in the same street even have their names spelled differently, but I have used "Hughes" throughout my family tree. William Hughes was the son of Philip Hughes and Eliza Vince, and the Hughes and Vince families were related by marriage to other South East Suffolk families such as Grimsey and Hynard.

"A History of the Lancashire Fusiliers (Formerly XX Regiment) Volume 1: 1688-1821", by Major Benjamin Smyth, Sackville Press, Dublin, 1903, with details of the places where Philip served from 1809 to 1818

Philip Hughes, born 1854 in Nayland, Suffolk, was the son of William Hughes (1829-1901) and Jane Baalham (1828-1905). He was named after her father Philip Baalham, who was a soldier during the Napoleonic Wars. Philip was born at Polstead near Nayland in Suffolk and joined the Army in Colchester on 7 Mar 1809, with his age given as 15. The most likely Philip Baalham was the son of Benjamin Baalham and Ann Hazell, christened in Polstead on 18 Mar 1794. Benjamin Baalham was christened on 19 Aug 1759, in Polstead, Suffolk, parents William and Ann Baalham, while Ann Hazell (not "Harell" as listed in some records) was christened on 14 Nov 1756, in Boxford, Suffolk, parents John and Hannah Hazell. I have more work remaining to discover the maiden names of Benjamin and Ann's mothers. Benjamin and Ann married in Boxford on 30 Sep 1783. Philip had these siblings: William (christened 7 Sep 1789),  Ann (christened 12 Aug 1791), and Sarah (christened 17 Aug 1797), maybe more.

Philip's service record was pretty eventful as he enlisted in the 20th Regiment of Foot who fought all through the Peninsular War including the Battle of Vitoria in 1813. Napoleon was defeated at the Battle of Leipzig in October 1813, after which the Allies invaded France and he was forced to abdicate in April 1814, being exiled on the Italian island of Elba. Thanks to Tim Lovering of "Family Tree Magazine" for the following information from "A History of the Lancashire Fusiliers (Formerly XX Regiment) Volume 1: 1688-1821", by Major Benjamin Smyth, 1903 (the 20th Foot - the "XX" Regiment - became the Lancashire Fusiliers in 1881): "The 20th Regiment of Foot sailed for Ireland from Polliack (Polak near Toulouse in southwest France) on 22 Jun 1814, disembarking at Monkstown just south of Cork on 7 July. They marched to Cork that night and then marched on to Mallow, where they stayed until 21 July. They then marched to Waterford, arriving on 1 August. Here the regiment was involved in suppressing meetings, enforcing payment of rents, and seizing illicit whiskey stills. The regiment remained here until 22 Mar 1816, when they marched in two separate detachments for Sligo and Boyle. From there, smaller detachments were posted out to various locations. The whole regiment converged on Dublin about 15 Jan 1818, being stationed at Dublin Castle Barracks, although detachments were stationed at Naas and Wicklow. The regiment finally marched from Dublin to Fermoy in December 1818, and eventually sailed from Cork to garrison the Island of St. Helena (where Napoleon was now exiled) in June 1819." Philip was discharged in Dublin on 27 Oct 1818, before his regiment was posted to St. Helena.

Philip married Mary, daughter of James Steward, at some point and they had a daughter Ann born in Dublin in 1819 (she married Edward King, son of James King and Lucy Crooks, in Polstead in 1840 and her birthplace appears on subsequent censuses as Dublin). Their second daughter Margaret was born in 1820, but she died in 1840 aged only 20, so I don't know where she was born, although Dublin is most likely. In 1820-21 the family left Dublin and sailed to England, probably Liverpool. Philip, Mary and their two small girls must have been making the arduous journey from Liverpool to Polstead on foot without any money because they appear in a record on The National Archives site from 19 April 1821 when Philip, Mary and their two daughters were served with a Vagrancy Order in Ashbourne, Derbyshire, and transported to Philip’s home parish of Polstead! The authorities almost certainly did them a favour getting them back to Philip's home, but the incident shows how badly ex-soldiers were treated in those days. Philip then became an agricultural labourer. They had more children in Polstead including my great-great-grandmother Jane in 1828 and Philip died in 1837, with his age given as 45 (if he had been born in 1794 he would only have been 43). Mary married again to Thomas Mathams in 1840, and on the 1841 Census her birthplace is shown as Ireland and age 40 (this is only approximate). Her father's name of James Steward comes from her second marriage certificate from 1840. I can't find Mary or Thomas Mathams after 1841, when she and three of her children (Thomas aged 15, Jane aged 12 and Philip aged 9) were living with Thomas in Polstead. Of the other children, Ann was married, Margaret had died, and Elizabeth aged 18 was living in Fen Street, Nayland (the street where my mother was born), with several other young women in what looks like a boarding house run by a Mary Lee, 77. Also resident with Thomas and Mary in Polstead was a 15 year old boy called James Rice, who may have been Thomas' son.

Philip and Mary's eldest daughter Ann Baalham and her husband Edward King lived in Stoke-by-Nayland and had nine children: Elizabeth (1845), Charles (1848), Mary Ann (1850), Eliza (1853), Henry (1855), Henry (1857), Emmany or Emeny (1859), William (1865) and Alice (1868). Alice is listed as a granddaughter aged 3 in 1861, but as a daughter aged 13 in 1871! It's possible she was the daughter of one of the three older girls, as Ann was 49 in 1868. Ann died in 1888, listed as aged 68. In 1871 Eliza married Robert Flack Oakes (1845-1927), the great-uncle of Mabel May Oakes (1885-1951), daughter of George Flack Oakes and Louisa Guyes, who married Ernest William Hatten in 1906 (this is why Eliza was already on my tree, see the Hatten page, and also because she was a witness to the marriage of her first cousins Philip Hughes and Eliza Vince in 1876). George Flack Oakes was the son of John Flack Oakes born 1842, the elder brother of Robert Flack Oakes, and Louisa Coker. Eliza and Robert had a son Arthur Robert Oakes born 1890. Lieutenant Arthur Robert Oakes of the Indian Army aged 54 died on 31 May 1944 and is buried in the Delhi War Cemetery. He was the great-grandfather of Nicola Clapp, who gave me much information about the Oakes family, again see the Hatten page. Up to Jan 2017 I didn't know I was related to Nicola, but her mother Patricia is my fourth cousin! Nicola sadly died in Sept 2019. Eliza's brother Emmany (a surname known in Stoke-by-Nayland) King married Harriet Rolfe in 1881. They had five children and their descendants are probably still living in the area today.

Elizabeth (Betsy) Baalham born in Polstead in 1823 married William Gardiner in Boxford, Suffolk, on 25 Dec 1849 with her sister Jane as one of the witnesses. William and Elizabeth had at least eight children: Jane (1845), Mary Ann (1847), Thomas (1849), Eliza (1850), John (1852), Susannah (1855), Sarah (1857) and George (1859). They lived in Hadleigh. A ninth child, James born in 1867, is listed on the 1881 Census, but I suspect he may have actually been a grandson! Again, they almost certainly have living descendants. Thomas Baalham born in Polstead in 1827 worked as an agricultural labourer all his life and died in Aldham, Suffolk, in Jan 1901 aged 77. I don't think he ever married. Philip Baalham junior was born in 1832, the second of his name, the first Philip Baalham junior was born in 1825 and died in 1827. I believe he is the Philip Baalham who was a Private serving with the 1st Battalion 12th Foot (East Suffolk) in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, in 1861, but I have no evidence of any marriage or children. Their youngest daughter Jane Baalham born 1828 had a son Charles Baalham (later Charles Hughes) in Polstead in 1850, and married Thomas Hughes in Stoke-by-Nayland on 12 Jan 1851, with Philip being born in 1854 and a third son Walter born in 1866, who married Emma Watts in 1889. Walter and Emma had four children: Harry (1887), Elsie (1894), Ethel (1900) and Gertrude (1907). Harry was listed as Harry Watts, Walter's stepson, on the 1891 Census, but as Harry Hughes on the 1901 Census, although I can't find him as either Harry Watts or Harry Hughes on the 1911 Census.

On 29 Oct 1876 my great-grandfather Philip Hughes born in 1854 married Eliza Vine, a widow with a son Thomas Fidget Vine, born 1873. One of the witnesses was Eliza Oakes née King, see above, first cousin of both Philip and Eliza.


This chart shows the relationships between Eliza King (later Oakes) and Eliza Vince on the left, and Eliza King and Philip Hughes on the right. Eliza K was the first cousin of Eliza V because her father and Eliza V's mother were brother and sister. Eliza K was the first cousin of Philip Hughes because their mothers were sisters. Eliza V and Philip were not related! For more about Eliza K's descendants, see the Hatten page.

Philip's wife was born Eliza Vince in Nayland in 1849, daughter of William Vince and Sarah King (the sister of Edward King who married Ann Baalham above), and first married George Vine, a private in the 10th Hussars, in 1872. Thanks to Helen Tovey of "Family Tree Magazine" for information that the 10th Hussars were in India from 1873 to 1878. They left Portsmouth for Bombay on 10 Jan 1873 aboard the troopship "Jumna", and were stationed at Muttra in Bengal until 1878. Beverly Hallam of FIBIS (Families in British India Society) has found a GRO Marine Death record for George Vine for 1876, so he must have died at sea.

My aunt Elsie Hughes (pictured at the top of this page), born 1909, remembered Philip living nearby in Nayland when she was a child. In the 1911 Census Philip was a widower aged 57, because Eliza had died in 1905. Philip Hughes died in Colchester, Essex, in 1927. Philip and Eliza had seven children: Ernest Philip (1887-93), Annie Eliza (born 1880, married Charles Willie Markham in 1901), Frank Henry (born 1882, married Agnes Rice in 1904), William (1884-1947), Martha Mary (born 1886), Ernest Philip (1887-88) and Richard Arthur (1891-1974, married Ada Eliza Wiseman in 1914). I don't have any marriage details for Martha, although she had a son, Clarence Richard Hughes, born 1907. In 1911 Clarence was living in Bury St. Edmunds with his aunt and uncle Annie and Charles Markham. Richard also moved to Bury St. Edmunds and inherited the shop at 30 Wellington Street, Ipswich, after my grandfather William died in 1947.

Thomas Sharman Hughes

Thomas Sharman Hughes, also listed in Censuses and other documents as Thomas Sherman Hughes or Hewes, was born in Polstead, Suffolk, in 1825, the second son of Edward Hughes and Elizabeth Bakes. Thomas married Sarah Wymark from Stoke by Nayland there in 1848. Thomas was a maltster and the family lived in Back Street, Stoke by Nayland, and their son James Thomas Hughes was christened there in 1863. The family moved to Coggeshall in Essex around 1865, and their son John Hughes was christened there in 1867. On the 1881 Census Thomas is again a maltster and he and Sarah are living in West Street, Coggeshall, with four of their six children. In 1891 Thomas and Sarah are living on their own in Watchmaker's Square, Robinsbridge Road, Coggeshall. Thomas died in 1899 and in 1901 Sarah was a widow living in the Almshouses, Queen Street, Coggeshall. She died in 1902. Their son Edward Thomas Hughes, born in Stoke by Nayland in 1852, is the great-great-grandfather of Annette Newlove from Coggeshall who has contributed much information to my tree. Their younger son Thomas Hughes, born in Stoke by Nayland in 1863, moved to Kent and married Roberta Emma Smith in Gravesend in 1887. They had six children, all born in Gravesend between 1889 and 1901, and it's possible their descendants still live in Kent today.


The Story of Anne Last


Anne Last (1822-1903) who married Thomas Hughes (1841), Thomas Hall (1856?) and Jesse Eastwood (1864)

There is enough material to write a book about the adventures of Anne Last, christened in Brighton, Sussex, in 1822. Her parents were John Edward Cato Last, also a carpenter, and Sarah Jane Stapleton, who also had two sons: Edmund, christened 1819, and Henry John, christened 1820. Anne married my relative Thomas Hughes, a carpenter born Colchester, Essex, 1801, son of William Hughes and Ann Blackwell, in Southwark, Surrey (now South London), on 19 Sep 1841. In the 1841 Census (6 Jun 1841) both Anne and her parents and Thomas and his parents were living in Southwark. Anne was Thomas' second wife - details of his first wife and any children are unknown. According to a family story she already had a daughter whose surname was Last, born around 1838-40, a half-sister to her Hughes children: Thomas Edmund (1844-73), William Edward (born 1846), Alfred Henry (1848-49), Walter Frederick (1850-95) and Clara Anna (1852-1918). In the 1851 Census Thomas and Anne were living in Bermondsey, South London, with their three sons and Mary A Halse, house servant aged 12, born "Brandford", Hertfordshire (I can't find a Brandford anywhere in England). It's possible that despite the surname difference Mary A(nn) was actually Anne's daughter! Alfred Henry Hughes born in Bermondsey in 1848 was probably the Alfred Hughes who died in Bermondsey in 1849 aged one, because he isn't on the 1851 Census.

I haven’t yet found a death record for Thomas Hughes but he must have died sometime between 1852 and 1856. Anne Hughes, a widow aged 38, sailed from Liverpool to Melbourne in Australia with her two eldest Hughes children Thomas and William in 1856. Anne had reportedly married Thomas Hall, a platelayer, born in Westmorland, aged 32, in Liverpool on 28 Sep 1856, but I haven’t found a marriage record and she sailed to Australia as Anne Hughes, not Hall. Thomas was not on that ship but he joined her in Australia because Anne had a daughter Lizzie Jessie Hall who was born and died in 1857 at Emerald Hill, Victoria, Australia, and a son James Thomas Hall, born on 5 Dec 1858. Anne’s two younger Hughes children, Walter and Clara, sailed to Melbourne from Plymouth in 1858, accompanied by a Bermondsey neighbour, Sarah Paine aged 22. Anne must have left her two Hughes younger children in Bermondsey with Sarah in 1856.

Tragically Thomas Hall was killed in a fight in the Golden Gate public house in Emerald Hill, Victoria, on 21 Mar 1859. Joseph Saunders was charged with his manslaughter. Anne subsequently emigrated to New Zealand with her surviving children and married Jesse Eastwood (born in England around 1820) in Dunedin, South Island, New Zealand, in 1864. She had daughter Charlotte Martha Eastwood in New Zealand, also in 1864. Anne is mentioned in her granddaughter Annie Hughes King's memoirs as Grandma Eastwood and being alive when Annie was about nine or ten (mid-1890s). It is also thought Anne ran a boarding house between Hokitika and Greymouth (Northwest Coast of South Island) at one stage. She died in Dunedin in 1903, and was reported as being in possession of a large amount of house property. Jesse Eastwood was a gold miner who spent a lot of time away from his family. He moved to New South Wales, Australia, around 1880 and died there in 1890 of "self-inflicted wounds". His will left everything to his daughter Charlotte Martha Eastwood with no mention of Anne.

I have little information about Anne's three Hughes sons. Thomas Edmund died suddenly while chopping wood in Woodstock, New Zealand, in 1873 at the age of 28, and Walter Frederick died in Dunedin in 1895 at the age of 44, leaving all his effects to his son Walter Hughes. There is an 1877 New Zealand birth record for a Walter Hughes, father's name Walter, mother's name Phoebe, but I have not yet found a marriage record. Mirren McLeod has also found Walter Hughes aged thirteen mentioned as a witness in a court report from 1890. William Edward Hughes is mentioned only in a land application in Kensington, Dunedin, in 1883, in association with his mother Anne Eastwood, although a William Edward Hughes crops up in court reports accused of drunkenness and theft! I can’t find anything else except the deaths of William Edwin Hughes in 1948 aged 70 and Jane Hughes in 1967 aged 85. As they were born in 1878 and 1882 they may have been William Edward’s son and daughter-in-law.

In contrast, the life of Anne's daughter Clara Anna Hughes (1852-1918) is well-documented. She married William Campbell King (1847-1920) from Paisley, Scotland, in Hokitika, South Island, New Zealand, in 1869. They had ten children, the eldest of whom was Jane Campbell King (1870-1954). Jane married twice, first to James Baxter Paton (1865-1900), with whom she had five children, and secondly to Richard William Hemingway (1869-1932) shown below right. Her son Richard William Hemingway Jr. (1902-84) was the father of informant Ian Campbell Hemingway. Jane's younger sister Mirren Stuart King (1875-1960) married Arthur Routley Richards-Reed (1871-1950). Arthur was born Arthur Routley Richards in Devonport in 1871, but added the "Reed" after he came to New Zealand. His descendants today just use the name Reed. Clara's eighth child Annie Hughes King (1885-1979) married George Salter in 1908 and wrote her memoirs in 1975 at the age of 90. These give a fascinating picture of pioneer life in New Zealand in the late 1800s/early 1900s. The photo of Anne Last and the photos of Annie's parents Clara and William left and right come from this document.

Anne's youngest son James Thomas Hall born 1858 subsequently became a well-respected grocer in Riddiford Street, Wellington, New Zealand, from the 1890s. He and his wife Sarah Ann Myall married in Dunedin on 7 Nov 1879 and had four children between 1880 and 1886. In 1931 James, described as aged 73 and a widower, married Theresa Andrews aged 23! He died in Wellington in 1941.

Jesse Eastwood had another daughter: the “West Coast Times” reported on 6 Jan 1869 that the wife of Jesse Eastwood had given birth to a daughter at her residence, Waimea Track, on 2 Jan 1869. However, since Jesse spent so much time away from his family, it’s possible that this unnamed “Mrs Eastwood” was not in fact Anne (who would have been aged 47)! I can’t find an Eastwood birth record for 1869 but sadly there is an New Zealand death record for an “Adah” Eastwood in 1870, aged 15 months, and an Ada G Eastwood was buried in Hokitika Cemetery on 13 Apr 1870, so the dates fit. Jesse moved to New South Wales around 1880 to work as a miner, and died in Sydney of "self-inflicted wounds" in 1890. His will left all his property to his daughter Charlotte Martha Eastwood, Anne was not mentioned.

Anne's youngest daughter Charlotte Martha Eastwood born 1864 married Charles John Peterson in Dunedin on 9 Mar 1892 They had no children, and moved to Picton in the North of the South Island after her mother’s death in 1903. Both Charlotte and her mother Anne Eastwood signed the New Zealand Women’s Suffrage Petition in Cumberland Street, Dunedin, in 1893. Charles is mentioned twice in the memoirs of Clara's daughter Annie Hughes King, which includes the story of a trip that members of the family including her Uncle Charlie made to Rotorua, North Island, in 1916. Charlotte Martha Peterson died on 6 Jan 1914 aged only 49, while Charles died in 1926.

Clara Anna King née Hughes' tenth child was George Alexander Last King (1892-1969), who was the grandfather of Mirren McLeod, née King. George was a prominent citizen of the Northwest South Island area, a printer and newspaper editor who also served as Mayor of Greymouth.

The last two photos come from Warren and Suzanne Barnaby. Warren is the grandson of Kenneth Mabey Barnaby (1906-82) and Louisa Chaster Richards-Reed (1912-2010). Also shown above is Mirren Florence Richards-Reed (1918-2005) who married Lindsay Noel Manning.

For information about the eventful life of Anne Last, thanks to her descendants Warren Barnaby, Pam Codlin, Ian Campbell Hemingway, Mirren McLeod, Peter Reed and Gwenda Mirren Russell. Thanks also to Katherine Blakely of the New Zealand Women's Suffrage web-site.
