Albert TANNER was born on 22 Nov 1855 in Bowling Green, Sway,
Boldre, Hampshire. He was christened on 7 Dec 1855 in St Luke's Church,
Sway, Boldre, Hampshire. In 1885 he was a Farmer in Saint Farm, Sway,
Boldre, Hampshire. The arrival of the railway in the late 1880's
opened up new opportunities and the following decades saw the village expand
greatly.
In 1847, Captain Marryatt used the surrounding countryside as the backdrop to
his book 'The Children of the New Forest' and this also raised a lot of interest
in the area. Between 1891 and 1919 he was an Innkeeper in the Noel Arms, High
Street, Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire. He was listed in Kellys
Directory of Gloucestershire for 1914 as "Noel Arms Hotel; family &
commercial & posting house; garage: open and closed motors for hire (Albert
Tanner, proprietor). T A "Tanner".
"The warm, golden Cotswold stone of Noel Arms has been a part of the Chipping
Campden landscape since the 1700s, and rumour has it that Charles II rested here
as he fled to the continent after his Scottish army was crushed by Cromwell at
the Battle of Worcester in 1651. But it's only been known as Noel Arms since
the 19th century. Before then it was The George, and it was through the inn's
carriage arch that packhorse trains would carry bales of wool, the source of
the town's prosperity, to Bristol and Southampton. It was at The George that
the legal business of the town was discussed too, and from here, around 1795,
that the wagon for London departed twice a week. In 1821 the name was changed
when the building was sold to the Hon CN Noel for the considerable sum of £25.
During Victorian times the Noel Arms was an important coaching inn - with an
omnibus meeting every train at the station - and provided the genteel face of
Campden, hosting balls, dinners, even opera in its assembly room, with its fine
oriel window, for the great and the good."
He died of cerebral haemorrhage and senile arterio sclerosis on 17 Jun 1939
in 41 The Avenue, Bournemouth, Dorset. He was buried in Lymington,
Hampshire. Albert is buried with his Mother.
Albert TANNER and
Martha Anna Pile SKINNER were married on 2 Jun 1885 in Battersea, Surrey.
Martha Anna Pile SKINNER (daughter of George SKINNER
and Anna PILE) was born on 27 Jan 1859 in Ashford, Kent. In 1881
she was a Housemaid in St Catherine's Hill, Guildford, Surrey. She
died of cerebral haemorrhage on 19 Mar 1902 in Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire.
Albert TANNER and Martha Anna Pile SKINNER had the following children:

Albert TANNER and Grace Valentina FEREDAY
were married on 16 Jun 1903 in Holy Trinity Parish Church, Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire.
They married by Licence. Grace stated that her father, William, was a Gardener
but did not state that he was dead. Grace Valentina FEREDAY
was christened on 3 Apr 1874 in St Nicholas' Church, Earl's Croome, Worcestershire.
Grace was one of the two daughters of William Fereday and Mary Anne Willis.
They had married at Christ Church Cathedral, Gloucester on 18 November 1873 and
Grace was born in the following year followed by Mary Ann who was christened
in Earl's Croome on 10 October 1875. (There may have also been a daughter, Gladys.)
William Fereday was born in 1854 in Upton on Severn, Worcestershire to Esther
Fereday (parents Thomas and Maria c. 25 June 1819 Upton on Severn). William was
illegitimate and another son, Henry William was born to Esther in 1859 and christened
on 24 April 1859 in Upton on Severn. By 1861 William was a Scholar in the household
of Samuel Clay (an Agricultural Labourer). It is unclear why he was not with
his mother. Had she died?
Samuel Clay was a Sawyer and he and Mary Ann Heath had married in 1849. In 1851
they lived in Rinnersley, Worcestershire with her father James Heath (47), an
Agricultural Labourer. By 1861 Samuel was an Agricultural Labourer and he and
Mary Ann had William Fereday as a lodger (although he was a scholar) and they
lived at Holly Green, Ripple, Worcestershire. William was still with them in
the same place in 1871 although he was transcribed as TERRADAY. By this time
William was an Agricultural Labourer also. By 1881 William still lived with Samuel
Clay in Ripple. He was classed as a boarder and was a General Labourer and at
the same address was Mary Ann Fereday (a five year old visitor). At the same
census William's wife, Mary Ann, was living at Underhills, Berrow, Worcestershire
with her daughter, Grace and her parents, Thomas and Janie Willis. Thomas was
a farmer. Perhaps William had to live near his work and had visits from his family.
In 1891 Mary Ann Fereday still lived at Berrow with her widowed father and Grace.
By 1901 Grace's mother was a widow and she lived on her own means at Eldersfield,
Worcestershire.
William's brother, Henry William (was their father called William?), was a 12
year old visitor with William and Ann Shalford at Court Street, Buryfield, Upton
on Severn in 1871. William Shalford was a Hay Trusser and by 1891 Henry had become
a Hay Trusser and had married a widow, Emily Bevan, in 1889 and had a stepson,
Ernest George A. Bevan (b.1882), and a son Henry H. Fereday (b.1890). But the
strange thing is that he lived with his family at Holly Green, Ripple where his
brother William had lived for so many years. She was born about 1874 in Earl's
Croome, Worcestershire. In 1901 she was a Barmaid in Evesham, Worcestershire.
She lived in Rose and Crown Hotel, Evesham, Worcestershire in 1901.
She lived in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire in 1903. One of the witnesses
to Albert and Grace's marriage, Lily Louisa Thornbury, lived at the Coach and
Horses in Tewkesbury and had done since at least 1881. She lived with her widowed
mother who was the publican. Perhaps Grace worked for them.
