Hingston Tree HI

Descendants of John Hingston, married 1739 in Dartmouth

This tree has been produced by me almost entirely from the IGI lists and the census information, in an attempt to draw together some of the Hingston families in the Dartmouth area where the name Langworthy is a common thread. It must thus ALL be regarded as highly suspect until the original sources have been checked. It may though form the basis of future research.

Generation No. 1

1. JOHN HINGSTONE. He married ELEANOR LANGWORTHY 31 Jan 1739/40 in St Saviour, Dartmouth.

There was another family, John Hingston and Elizabeth Trust (married 17/7/1733) in Dartmouth, possibly having children at the same time. Only those children that can definitely be linked to John and Eleanor are noted here. It is possible that the two Johns are the same, and that Elizabeth died, in which case this list will need to be reviewed.

Children of John Hingstone and Eleanor Langworthy are:

(Jonathan Turner has an Ancestry site about this family). At the birth of their first child George was described as a Ropemaker, but he was later described as a Merchant and by 1873, when his son Frederick married, he was a Gentleman. Mary died soon after the birth of her son Frederick and was buried at Dartmouth Townstall on 3 Apr 1838, aged 41. Frederick seems to have been cared for by their niece, Ann Colton Hingston. We have not yet tracked down what happened to the rest of the family. George died aged 82 at Plymouth in 1876.

In the 1851 census the family are shown as living at King St, Brixham. Richard is described as a Lloyd's Agent, born at Dartmouth. By 1881 Jane has been widowed and staying with her brother-in-law, John Puddicombe, a surgeon, in Dartmouth; he was the husband of Richard's sister Helen Susan.

Most of the information for this family comes from Rosemary Neale <RosemaryNeale@breathemail.net> who is researching the Holditch line.

7. FREDERICK HINGSTON was born 8 Mar 1838, the son of 5. George Hingston and Mary Bullen. His mother died at or soon after his birth. In the 1841 census he is shown as living in Bolton Terrace, Brixham, in the home of his cousin, 6. Richard Langworthy Hingston. Richard's sister, Ann Colton Hingston is also living there and is presumably caring for young Frederick. In 1851 he was a pupil at a school in Wolborough (Newton Abbot), while by 1861 he was shown as a clerk at Bank of England and lodging at South Town, Dartmouth with Ellen Ashford; he was listed as her cousin. In 1871 Frederick Hingston, 33, a Bank Inspector, born Dartmouth, visitor, at the home of James Mayston, draper, at 1 Lower Market, Tavistock. On 14 Aug 1873, aged 35, bachelor, Bank Manager, he married MARY ELLEN ROME age 22, spinster, daughter of Joseph Rome, Gentleman, at Enderby In Leicestershire. See transcription of the church records on Enderby web site. Both Frederick and Mary are described as being "of Enderby" but neither Hingston nor Rome appear in the 1871 and 1881 censuses there. Frederick's father, George, was described as a "Gentleman". He probably died aged 51 at Northampton in 1889.

Frederick and Mary seem to have had three children:-
