The Wynne Apperleys

Jackie Rainbow nee Apperley has in her possession The History of the Apperleys by Mary Apperley nee Hutchinson. The book contains several family trees that are faded and difficult to read.  In time, she hopes to rewrite it.  In the meantime, she has been most generous in allowing us to post on the website a letter written by Mary Apperley on completion of the book, a transcript of which is shown below.  The problems identified in its content will no doubt be familiar to many researchers!

The book's Prologue is dated 1913, and the book was printed in 1916.

 

 

My dear Herbert


It is nearly forty years since your brother Charlie wrote to his cousin, Mr Hugh Seymour Tremenheere, for information about the family pedigree and history. He though taking a great interest in his maternal ancestors, did not know much about them, and after making some enquiries among relatives, sent a pedigree, made out as well as then it could be, saying "I will send you all I know. Perhaps some idle man of the family may some day take the trouble of completing the record, which will be the more interesting as successive generations come to the front, and may want to know who preceded them."
It has been left to a woman, and one who is a member of the family only by marriage, to, not complete the record, for that unfortunately seems to be impossible, but at all events to add some details to it, and to put these into a connected form. Newton's long correspondence, begun in 1879, with his and your distant cousin, Miss Elizabeth Apperley of Withington, furnished much information, in addition to what he already knew.
Your kindness in telling me many things which would naturally otherwise have been unknown to me, gave much more; and I have been indebted to many other relatives and friends, named below, for the rest, to whom I must express many thanks.
Dr. Greenwell, to whom, in 1896, I showed the pedigree was good enough to interest himself in it, and to give me many valuable hints for its pursuit. He says, "You seem to have made out the latter part of the pedigree satisfactorily, but I am afraid the earlier part will be more difficult. For the later part of a pedigree, up to, say, 1550 parish registers and wills are the principal sources of information. Wills are invaluable. For earlier descents, the Inquisitiones post mortem was invaluable. But to make any successful research, you would need to spend a good round sum of money, and to employ a professional agent."
Round sums of money not being common in the family, the earlier descents have not been investigated, but a connected pedigree dating from 1622, has been made out, many wills unearthed, various documents of interest discovered, and as much information gathered together as perhaps is now obtainable. This search has been the occupation of amusement of many years of semi-invalidism, with their enforced leisure; and I am sorry to say good-bye finally to it.
I must end and by again thanking you, who have been informant, critic, and editor, and without whose help this book would never have been written.


Your affectionate Sister
 

Mary Apperley.

Look HERE for the Coat of Arms

It is intended that the this Apperley page will contain a summary of the history of the Herefordshire Apperley family up to and before 'Wynne' became an oft-used additional forename for descendants.  At present it concentrates on the descendants of Thomas APPERLEY b1730.

 Any additions / amendments would be very welcome.  Please contact me. Rosie

  • Thomas APPERLEY MD of St Owen's Hereford, aka Thomas of Leominster, b17 Jun 1701 Fownhope, d1740 as a result of a canon shot at Carthegena, 25 Jan 1722 St Mary Magdalene LND= Mary CASWELL b Withington, daughter of Sir George CASWELL former Leominster MP. 

  • Thomas APPERLEY, gentleman commoner at Oriel College, Oxford, matriculated Oriel College 7 June 1766 age 32*; JP; Deputy Lieutenant of Herefordshire, farmer, b 26 Feb 1730* Fownhope, d1811, WILL 1818,  Plasgronow, Denbigh 28 March 1773 (marriage bond)= Ann WYNNE b 13 Nov 1731 of Plas Gronow, d1818 daughter of Welsh poet Rev William WYNNE of Llanhafel.  Thomas was described by Nimrod in My Life and Times as 'of diminutive stature, not exceeding five feet five inches in height, but well-proportioned, and so active that he might be said to have run as many miles as he walked....... I believe he was somewhat of a beau of the old school...'  Thomas was a prolific reader and letter writer, but his son regretted that he only wrote one volume, entitled Moral Essays.  Nimrod described his well-educated, musical mother in the language of the turf as ''pretty well bred'.

He moved to Plas Gronow in 1774 and remained there until the early 1800s when he moved to Wotton in Gloucestershire.

According to Surtees, Thomas 'was anything but wealthy, an annuity he enjoyed for his services to Sir Watkin WYNN forming no inconsiderable part of his income.' 

Although Surtees asserted that Thomas ' buoyed himself up with the expectation of a reversionary interest he had in a small estate called Rudhall in Herefordshire' and that 'when it did fall in after Mr Apperley senior's death, Nimrod's elder brother was found to have sold the reversion', E. D. Cuming, in Nimrod's My Life and Times, said that Thomas had arranged the reversion of Rudhall so that his younger children could be provided for.  Since he only possessed an esxtate worth under £800 at his death, it is believed that, during his lifetime,  his signed over to his sons the money raised by reversion.

Charles James APPERLEY was the second son, and fourth of eight children, of Thomas APPERLEY b 1730 Herefordshire, d 1814, (tutor to Sir Watkin Williams WYNNE) 1778 Plasgronow, =Ann WYNNE b1731, d1818 intestate, daughter of Welsh poet Rev William WYNNE of Llangynhafel near Ruthin.  Charles  James APPERLEY (Major) aka  sports writer 'Nimrod', b 22 July 1778 Plas Gronow Denbighshire.  He was educated at Rugby School (boarder) from 1789 to 1798.  He entered commercial life briefly, assisted by the husband of his mother's friend, Mr FRYER of Taplow Lodge, Gloucestershire, a go-between for the foreign wool suppliers whose raw materials were made into cloth.  After an unsuccessful spell at Fryer's business in Aldermanbury, Fryer found Charles a position with a well-known clothier in Chalford, Stroud, but that too was rejected.  Eventually Charles received a commission in Sir Watkin Wynne's Fencible Cavalry Regt called the Ancient British Light Dragoons. He was gazetted as youngest cornet 1 April 1798, serving in Ireland during the suppression of the rebellion that year. He became a Lieutenant 18 months later on the 23 February 1799 and also acted as Paymaster.  In April 1800 the regiment was disbanded and he was discharged, drawing six months' pay up to 3 April.

He met his first wife in Bath where she was wintering with her widowed mother.

His first marriage: 25 August 1801 Llanegryn, Merioneth=Elizabeth WYNNE b 4 Jul 1777 Merioneth d 4 Jun 1834, daughter of William WYNNE of Wern, High Sheriff of Merionethshire (1772) and Montgomeryshire (1773) b1745 d  20 Jul 1796?,  Dec 1771=Jane WILLIAMS of Peniarth.  Elizabeth was also a cousin of Sir Watkin Williams WYNNE, Bart, of Wynnstay, Denbighshire.

After  marriage, they spent about a year with Charles's father at Wotton House.  Eventually, they rented a house in Hinckley Leicestershire.  In 1804, Charles Apperley moved to Bilton Hall, near Rugby, where he hunted with the Quorn, the Pytchley, and the Warwickshire hounds. In 1809 they moved to Bitterley Court, Ludlow, in Shropshire.  Between 1805 - 7, Charles enlisted in the Shropshire yeomanry. 21 May 1810 he joined the Nottinghamshire militia (known as the Sherwood Foresters) as Captain.  Later he moved to Brewood in Staffordshire, and then to Beaurepaire House in Hampshire, the ancient home of the Brocas family, where he lost considerable amounts of money in ill-founded farming experiments. He served in Plymouth before resigning his commission 21 February 1812.

During their marriage, they lived in a number of places in Wales and the Midlands, and when experiencing financial difficulties, Elizabeth's family helped them.  After her husband resigned his commission, he joined his family in Peniarth.

In 1813, Charles and Elizabeth moved with their children to Tygwyn, Llanbelig on the outskirts of Caernarvon, a house of an estate owned by William Wynne.

Charles and Elizabeth had seven children, three sons (one dying in infancy) and four daughters. 

In 1819, Charles moved to Brewood Hall, near Stafford, and also near Chiilington often visited by his intimate friend John Mytton.

After various difficulties, in 1820, Elizabeth left Charles and took her children to Hampton, Middlesex where she died 4 May 1834.

In 1821, Charles moved to lodgings in Blackfriars Road, London, remaining there until summer 1822 when he moved to Beaurepaire near Basingstoke.  That house remained his home until November 1831.  He created the role of gentleman hunting correspondent and wrote under a number of pseudonyms such as Acastus, Eques, 'A'. He wrote his first article for Sporting Magazine as Nimrod in January 1822. He was an expert on hunting, horse-riding and horse management, and he often indulged his other passion for coach driving, of the Holyhead mail and other North Wales coaches. He made money by buying and selling horses and by horse racing, sometimes choosing to ride himself. He was a member of the Kingscote Club.

From 1824 until 1828, he worked as the magazine representative, Nimrod, earning £1,500 p.a. (including travel costs and the stabling of his hunters).  In his heyday, he was known for his authority, skills and charm, but his secure reign ended with the death of magazine proprietor, Mr. Pittman, in 1827.  The new owners were unwilling to raise their writer's salary despite his protests, and so, by 1829, he no longer contributed to the magazine.  Previous private loans and insurance premiums led to disputes between Nimrod and his former employers, and eventually, in 1830 -1, he fled to Calais to avoid imprisonment for debt.  There he began writing for Sporting Review.


He found his new home in the Rue des Thermes to be a cheaper base from which to write. However, with the approach of cholera, he moved out of Calais to an old chateau where he remained for three years (although not without financial difficulty, which required the aid of friends).  Once he was regularly contributing articles under different pen names, even when his return to England would have been safe, he chose to remain and submit his articles to England. Often his writing was serialised, sometimes becoming books.  In 1835 he published three articles: The Road, The Turf and Melton Mowbray.


1842-3:he had an accident and returned to London for medical treatment. On the 19 May 1843 he died of peritonitis at 20 Upper Belgrave Place, Pimlico, and he was buried in Kensal Green cemetery.


After his wife's death, in 1834, he married his servant with whom he is believed to have had children, (2nd marriage) 11 Jul 1835 St Mary the Virgin, Dover, Kent=Sarah TAYLOR. Charles James died 19 May 1843 at Upper Belgrave Place, Pimlico, London, from peritonitis following a riding accident in France.  He was buried at kensal Green.

During his life, Charles sat for his portrait with two artists: Edward Francis Finden (1791-1857) and Daniel Maclise (1806-1870), history and portrait painter.

During their two years' stay in Australia (1845 - 1847), William Wynne (who was there to buy horses for the Indian army) and Catherine leased Bungarribee.  They were popular members of Sydney society and, as a result, their images were cast in wax before leaving Australia.

He retired in 1861 and received a pension from the Indian Government.  He died at Morne Lodge in 1870 and was buried at St Peters, Machynlleth.
