If you look at the end of Rosemary's letter which follows you will note the listing of the family of Henry T and Eliza Jenkins. From Rosemary's notes one could conclude it was Titheridge... however, see above and click here

Dear Mr. Tidridge,

Your entry in the August, 1986 HGS journal caught my eye as I too am interested in the name Titheridge. My connection seems to be in Southampton and dates back to the marriage of John Tithridge and Mary Tucker on 9th October, 1768. John and Mary were my great grandparents by 4. My line is from them as follows:
John Tithridge to Mary Tucker their children were: (For more information on John and Mary click here)
Mary born/bap(tized) 1770 m(arried) John Cooper 1789
Sarah b(orn) 1772 m(arried)Paul Diaper 1791
Anne b(orn) 1773 m(arried) Robert Giles 1794
Elizabeth b(orn) -1782 m(arried) James Wheeler 1806
John b(orn) 1784 1. m(arried) Harriet Diaper 1807 2. m. ? Jane?

According to John's will date 1824 all of his five children had issue.
Anne Tithridge married Robert Giles 22nd November, 1794 their children included Anne Giles bap(tised)/born. 1797 who married Thomas Gibbens in 1818.

The children of Anne Giles and Thomas Gibbens included:
Celia Gibbens born 1838 or 1840 who married Robert Tribbekk in May 1862.
The children of Celia Gibbens and Robert Tribbekk include my grandmother Rose Tribbekk, born 1870.

Unfortunately my time for searching any of the names I am interested in is very limited and I have not gone far into the Titheridge line. However, if you do not know already, you may be interested that the Wills index in the Hampshire Records Office at Winchester includes three Titheridges. The earliest is that of Annae T. (presumably latinised Anne) of Kilmeston dated 1730. On asking for sight of this will I was told it seems to be missing which is very disappointing. I was fortunate to obtain the will of John Titheridge mentioned above which is dated 1824, and was proved in 1825. If you have not already got this, and think it would be useful I would send you a copy which I would have to obtain from the HRO. Lastly, the Index refers to the will of Daniel of Kilmeston dated 1844, who was apparently a tailor. Again I would be pleased to get you a copy if you would find it helpful.

I daresay you are familiar with the geography of Hampshire and will know that Kilmeston is a small village a few miles south of Cheriton, which in turn is a few miles south of Alresford. I enclose a sketch plan in case you are not familiar.

To go back to my ancestor John. His will indicated that four of his children were alive at his death: Sarah the wife of Paul Diaper had died some years earlier. Also Mary his wife had died in 1817 aged 74.

John himself was a mariner, owned his own fishing smack and lived to the good age of 85. He was based at the east side of Southampton water - an area which has now been swallowed up and is probably better known as the district of Woolston.

I see that another HGS member, Mr. V.F .L. Grevitt (No. 1458) of 45 Holmwood Road, Chessington, KT9 lQU is also interested in the name Tithridge at Swanmore, Hampshire, circa 1830. No doubt we shall both be contacting Mr. Grevitt about our common interest in the Titheridges. Please keep me in mind if you come across anything of interest, and I will do the same.

To conclude here are a few other Titheridges I have come across :
Elizabeth T bap(tised) 6 April, 1828 Dau(ghter). of John T. Labourer and Sarah (Meonstoke parish Records:
Frances T m(arried) 18 Sept. 1785 to John Silly (sp(ecial) licence) Twyford Parish
Henry T m(arried) 27, July 1828 to Eliza Jenkins, All Saints, Southampton children include:
Henry Bap(tised) 28 June 1829
James Bap(tised) Sept 1830
Sarah Anne Nov 1834
Henry Sr, was a painter and lived at 14 Cross Street, Southampton
John. T. married 24 December 1789 to Mary Berry, Twyford Parish records.

Good hunting.

Yours sincerely,

Miss Rosemary Cole.

 

 
Joseph Blaik TITHERADGE [1872-1904]

Success was finally achieved when Ann Titheradge visited Allens plot at the far end of the cemetery.  This burial had been identified on the Billion Graves Website (https://billiongraves.com/ ) which had also included a helpful Google map showing the location of the grave. 

 

The gravestone read
 
In loving memory of Joseph Blaik Titheradge died August 16 1904 aged 31
Also Ada Caroline beloved wife of the above died February 25th 1936 aged 65
Christopher and Percival sons of above died 1904 Reunited.

 
 
So who are this family and what tragic events took place 1904 to leave Ada a widow and a grieving mother?  If you know the answer please get in touch.


Joseph Blaik Titheradge was one of six children born to James Walter Titheradge and Mary Ann Blaik.  Joseph was born in 1872 in Portsmouth.  He married Ada Caroline Matthews in September quarter 1893 in Portsmouth.  They had four children, William Joseph Blaik Titheradge born in 1895 died 1955, Walter Titheradge born in 1899 died 1955, Christopher born in 1900 died 1904 and Percival Titheradge born in 1902 died 1904.

Joseph was a stoker in the Navy.  He joined the navy on 14 May 1891 when he was 19, signing up for 12 years a service.  His first service was on HMS Asia and his last on HMS Firequeen.  The last entry in his naval service record is 5 May 1904, 3 months before he died.  He also served on HMS Euphrates, HMS Victory, HMS Serapis, HMS St George, HMS Duke of Wellington and HMS Racer.
 

 
The Portsmouth Evening News carried the following notice in the Deaths section on 19 August 1904

Titheradge On 16th August at 45 Liverpool Road Kingston Joseph Blaik Titheradge late Chief Stoker in Royal Navy aged 31 years.

 

In the March quarter of 1904 Joseph's son Christopher aged three and a half had died.  In the June quarter of 1904 his son Percival aged 2 had died.  We do not know what the cause of death was.  When Joseph died his son William was 9 years old and son Walter 5 years old.  After their father's death the boys were taken into a naval orphanage in Commercial Road, Although Ada was still alive I presume she did not have the means to support the children.  When the orphanage at Portsmouth closed the boys were moved to an orphanage in Swanage.
