TopThe legatees
John HINGE the eldest son: in 1841 he was living at 190 High Street, presumably the 'freehold house & shop' bequeathed to him by his father. He was '45'(ie 45 - 49) and living with him were Elizabeth (67, his mother presumably) and Jasper (37) and Joseph (28). All the men were farriers, born Middlesex. William GUNNER (14) and apprentice and Maria GUNNER (11) completed the household.The 1851 census shows essentially the same household but without the mother Elizabeth. John HINGE was a retired farrier, Jasper William HINGE a veterinary surgeon master employing two men, Joseph HINGE and William GUNNER farriers. The HINGEs were all born in New Brentford and none of the three brothers had married. William and Maria GUNNER are identified as nephew & niece of John.
See the HINGE family tree for more details.
