Photo Nathan RAND was christened on 20 Apr 1821 in Therfield, Hertfordshire. He was born about 1821 in Therfield, Hertfordshire. Nathan's father and grandfather were both called Nathaniel.
The Rand Family Nathaniel Rand (senior) and Sarah Dellow married on 12 October 1778 in Therfield and their childen were Molly (1778), Patty (1779), James (1786), Nathaniel (1789), Nathaniel (1781), William (1793), John (1796-8) and Sarah (1801-1830).
The rector of Therfield did his own censuses and noted that Nathaniel Rand (senior) lived at Dean End or Reed End between 1803 and 1807 and had a wife and four children. (He probably only counted dependent children.) Nathaniel was a charcoal burner. Charcoal burning is probably England's oldest industry. The production process worked on the principle of generating as much heat as possible with the minimum intake of air, just enough to maintain a smothered combustion. The charcoal burner would use 15 tons of timber at each burning, but it was in the building of the cone that great skill was required. The timber was split into convenient lengths then laid in a round conical shaped pile, with ashes and rubbish thrown on top. Then the pile was carefully but solidly beaten down and turf or bracken laid over it as a seal. Channels were then made to ensure that just enough air could enter to effect the combustion process, and then the heath was lit. Escape channels were then made for the combustion fumes, which were highly poisonous. The burning had to be continuously supervised for it always had to take place slowly to produce the maximum heat. If the pile caught alight too fiercely it was quenched with water. The pile remained alight for four days, at the end of which it was an incandescent mass. The cooling process was a long one, too, and it took many more hours before the charcoal could be handled.
On 4 December 1815 Nathaniel Rand (junior) married Margaret Neal(e) in Enfield, London. Margaret was born in Worthing, Norfolk the 14th of 16 children of Collison Neal and Margaret Kerrison. Nathaniel and Margaret's children were Collison Neal (1816), John (1819), Nathan (1821), Sarah (1823), William (1826), Frederick (1828), Thomas Cooke (1831), Emma (1834) and Margaret Cerrison (1837).
In 1821 Nathaniel Rand (senior) was listed as an agricultural worker and his family consisted of 1 male and two females. His married children were listed separately. James (neither engaged in agriculture or trade) had a household of 2 males and 6 females.
Nathaniel Rand (junior) was listed as an agricultural worker and his family consisted of 4 males and 1 female. The rector noted elsewhere in his records that Margaret was known as Peggy.
William (neither engaged in agriculture or trade) had a household of 1 male and two females.
In 1841 Nathaniel (junior) and Margaret lived at Chapel Green, Therfield and Nathaniel was a charcoal burner.
Nathan and Margaret lived with their children Collison (agricultural labourer), John (shoe maker), Nathan (tailor), Sarah, William, Frederick, Thomas, Emma and Margaret.
In 1851 Margaret was listed as the married head of the household (labourer's wife) in Chapel Green, Therfield and she lived with her children William (agricultural labourer), Frederick (agricultural labourer), Thomas (agricultural labourer) and Margaret. It is quite likely that Nathaniel and Nathan were not enumerated as they were working in the forest as charcoal burners.
In 1859 Margaret (junior) died.
In 1860 Nathaniel died at Chapel Green and was buried on 18 June 1860 aged 79 years.
In 1861 Margaret still lived in Chapel Green but was a widow and a charcoal burner and she lived with her sons Nathan (charcoal burner) and Frederick (agricultural labourer).
In 1861 Margaret (labourer's widow) still lived in Chapel Green with her son Frederick (agricultural labourer).
On 11 December 1878 Margaret died at Chapel Green at the age of 88. She was the widow of Nathaniel Rand, charcoal burner, and she died of "infirmity". Her death was regisitered by the mark of Kitty Welch on 16 December 1878. She was buried on 17 December 1878.
The rector's records for two of Margaret's sons who lived in Therfield show their marriages and children:-
William Rand (b.3 April 1826; m.Caroline Batt; d.19 June 1901) - children Walter (1855), Alfred Ernest (1857), Hephzibah (1862; bur. at chapel an infant), Emily (1865) and Bertha Caroline (1872).
Thomas Cooke Rand (b.21 September 1831; m.24 December 1857 to Julia Gatward; d.27 Aug 1884 at Sandon) - children Emily Agnes (1858), Clara (1860), Annie (1861), Albert Edward (1863), Arthur (1865), Frederick Thomas (1868) and Susan (1871).
In 1841 he was a Tailor in Therfield, Hertfordshire. In 1861 he was a Charcoal Burner in Therfield, Hertfordshire. In 1871 he was a Charcoal Burner in Haultwick, Little Munden, Hertfordshire. In 1881 he was a Jobbing Labourer in Barkway, Hertfordshire. He was prosecuted on 1 Aug 1883 in Royston Petty Sessions. In the case of Robert Austin versus Nathan Rand (Record 281), Nathan was charged with neglecting to maintain his wife and four children, whereby they became chargeable on the Royston Union. The case was adjourned for 14 days, then again until 26 September when he was committed for one month's hard labour (Record 302). He was prosecuted on 14 Nov 1883 in Royston Petty Sessions. In the case of Robert Austin versus Nathan Rand (Record 317), Nathan was accused of neglecting to maintain his family. He confessed the offence and was convicted and sentenced to 14 days imprisonment with hard labour. He was summoned on 27 Feb 1884 in Royston Petty Sessions. The Herts and Cambs Reporter records "Nathan Rand was summoned for unlawfully making a fire within 50ft of a cartway leading from Rushin Wells to Barkway, to the danger of persons travelling thereon, in the parish of Barkway, on the 16th February.
Defendant did not appear.
PC Collarbon proved service of summons, and said that the defendant said he was quenching a fire, and it was steam instead of smoke coming from the spot at the time complained of.
James Scripps said he lived in Barkway and knew the defendant. He camped by the side of the road called Rushinwells Lane at Barkway. On 16th of February, witness said he was going by with a wagon and horses, about 20 past six in the morning from Mr. Pigg's farm.
He came to Rand's place and saw some smoke which frightened the horses. He could not tell whether it was smoke or steam, as it was between dark and light. There was no flame in the fire. The fire was on the open ground. Rand was there himself and the witness stopped and told him about it. He stopped his horse as well as he could, and went back and complained to the defendant for making a fire there. It frightened the horses and drove them, he and the boy, all on the bank together. The horses wouldn't go by since then. The defendant has a hut there, or "a potato clamp". The fire was not in the hut. I work for Mr. William Pigg. The defendant told him he should not have thought the horses would be frightened at that after seeing steamers going by.
The chairman said the defendant would have to pay 6d fine and 9s 6d costs, or some days imprisonment. In answer to the Bench, Sgt. Tripp said he was afraid the defendant had nothing to destrain upon." He was sent to prison on 12 Mar 1884 in Royston Petty Sessions. The Herts Mercury reported " Nathan Rand, a man who with his wife and family resides in a miserable hut by the roadside in Barkway, and was fined last Bench day for making a fire near the highway, was now sent to prison for seven days in default of paying the money." He was summoned on 21 May 1884 in Royston Petty Sessions. The Herts Mercury reported "A Curious Dwelling Nathan Rand, a charcoal burner of Barkway, was summoned by Mr. Jonathan Boning, the inspectore of nuisances for the Royston Union to show cause why an order should not be made upon him to abate a nuisance of overcrowding, in a mud hut occupied by himself, his wife and four children by the side of the highway at Barkway.
Defendant pleaded that he had made the place larger. Mr. Boning said that the defendant had made a little deeper into the earth. He found the hut contained 207 cubic feet of air space for the six persons, and the only ventilation was a low doorway.
Dr. Anningston, medical officer of health, said the space only gave 35 cubic feet per person. He did not see how the place could be made habitable, and it would be overcrowded if only one person slept in it (laughter). It was, in his opinion, unfit for human habitation and he could scacely see how there was sufficient space for six persons to lie down flat at the same time.
Defendant said that his children were very small and he and his wife were often away. He was willing to get out of the place as soon as he could get somewhere else to go.
The Bench made an order upon Rand to abate the nuisance and told him he must obey the order in the best way he could. If it were not obeyed, a fresh summons would be issued.
It appears that Rand, having no house to take his children to, and having once been sent to prison for neglecting to maintain his children, set to work to erect the low mud hovel in question by the roadside, and there they have made their abode since the beginning of the year." Between 1891 and 1910 he was a Charcoal Burner in Barkway, Hertfordshire. He died of senile decay and heart failure (certified) on 11 Feb 1910 in High Street, Barkway, Hertfordshire.

His Will was proved on 9 August 1652 at the Prerogative Court of York. Aymer came from a long line of men who had lived at Bullhouse near Penistone. His 3x great grandfather, William, had bought Bullhouse from Thomas Appleyard in about 1405 and there had been a dealing about the land between the Nicholas Burdet and the Robert Rich (William's grandson and Aymer's great great grandfather) on 8 October 1453. Aymer had one brother, Richard, "of the Royd".
Aymer was the Chief Constable of Staincross Wapentake in 1624.

Spouse: Alice BURDET. Aymer RICH and Alice BURDET were married on 15 May 1587 in Almondbury, Huddersfield, Yorkshire. They obtained a marriage settlement on 24 Jul 1598 in Penistone, Yorkshire. On 24 July 1598, in consideration of her marriage (already solemnised) Alice was given property around Penistone (Smallshaw and Royd) as well as property in Thurlstone and Milnhouse as her settlement. In Thurlstone this included one fulling mill and one corn mill with a yearly rent of 13s and a messuage called Bullhouse with lands and a water corn mill. On 9 October 1611 the property at Smallshaw was itemised as Alice's nephew, George, had issues about the lands namely ten messuages, four cottages, one water mill, one water fulling mill, fourteen gardens, four hundred acres of land and 13s 4d rent charge in Smallshaw and Royd for £400. "William Riche of Bollows in Thurlestone to Francis Greave of Hunshelf and William Hinchcliff of Bilcliff, in consideration of the marriage already solemnised between Aymer Riche (one of the sons of Edward Riche son and heir of the said William) and Alice Burdett (one of the daughters of Henry Burdett of Walton), the manor of Smallshaie and capital messuage called Smallshaie and appurtenances in Smallshaie, Thurlestone & Thurlestone meare and the capital messuage called Roide and the capital messuage called Milnehowse and fulling mill and one water corn mill in Thurlestone with a yearly rent of 13/- out of several lands in Thurlestone (all lately purchased of Richard Turton of Pickeringe) and the capital messuage called Bollowes with lands, etc. and a water corn mill at Bollows in order that a fine may be levied, settling the estate on William, Edward and Aymer Riche in succession, with reversion to Richard Riche, brother of Aymer, in default of issue, also it is agreed that a settlement may be made on Alice of the Smallshaie and Milnhouse property for her jointure."
An agreement "to levy a fine on the manor and capital messuage called Smallshaw and the other disputed property" was recorded on 25 October 1611 between Aymer Rich and George Burdet of Denby Hall. The lands were "to the use of Aymer Rich". The matter rumbled on and had to be settled on 5 October 1627. Aymer Rich, his wife Alice and their son William and his heirs had the land in perpituity. It appears that George Burdet was trying to assert his influence as Lord of Denby.
Children were: Mary RICH, Edward RICH, Aymer RICH, William RICH, Dorothy RICH, David RICH, Daniel RICH, Elizabeth RICH.
