  After Mary's death, his household was cared for by a loyal servant, John CANNING who served him for 48 years. Every evening at 9, his servant brought him an old nightcap and coat to replace his 'good' coat and wig. After the substitution, Anthony enjoyed a white pipe with a waxed mouthpiece, cup of ale, and rum and water... Apparently, Anthony told his servant not to get him into debt and to keep a good household. Also he should bear the poor in mind.

Known children of Thomas APPERLEY=Mary CASWELL:

• 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'.  Between 1755 and 1760, Thomas APPERLEY received six letters from Thomas Percy about his travels; his poems; scholar Edward Lye; his efforts to learn Portuguese; his work with James Grainger on A Poetical Translation of the Elegies of Tibullus, with the support of Samuel Johnson; a delivery to Samuel Johnson; his transcript of a valentine poem to William Shenstone's servant, To Mrs. Hannah Farmer, My Own Sweet Love.

He moved to Plas Gronow in 1774 and remained there until the early 1800s when he moved to Wotton House 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 estate 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, d1814?, (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 Chillington 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.

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

Newton Wynne APPERLEY born 29 Jul 1846 Bungarribee and  bap 26 Sep 1846 St Bart's C of E Prospect, NSW, Australia, d 21 Jan 1925,  A1880 Durham= Mary HUTCHINSON b c1853 Bilton, Northumberland, only daughter of Alan William HUTCHINSON of Kyo, Durham. 

From MVB Perley's History and Genealogy of the Perley Family:

"NW was 'a veteran among private secretaries and of a handsome and distinguished presence. He was born...in Australia, where his father was Remont Agent to the Hon. East India Company.  When he was seven years old, the family returned to Wales.  He was educated at Dr. Huntingford's school, Hammersmith, and at Rev. F. Faithfull's military school near Epsom.  He was gazetted 13 Aug. 1868, a cornet in the Montgomery Yeomanry Cavalry, and after twenty years retired with the rank of Major.  He went to the North Country, upon the death of his father, in 1870, and engaged with the Marquis of Londonderry, becoming his private secretary in 1879.  He is a magistrate and visiting justice for his county, and last year his Majesty the King honored him with a membership of the Victorian Order.  It is almost needless to add that he is an excellent man of business.'......He married, in 1880, Miss Mary Hutchinson, only daughter of A.W. Hutchinson of Hollingside.  Major and Mrs Apperley have taken an earnest interest in our letters, have written patient replies to our manifold queries, and furnished much real assistance, - all in a manifestly neighborly spirit to aid us, and they merit our esteem."

Sadly, it appears that not all the family history cited by the writer was accurately transcribed, so the researcher is wise to check the book's 'facts' carefully.

Newton's wife, Mary, wrote the history of Elvet Hill, Durham. (See the APPERLEY publications on the Apperley References page for details of The History of South End). Newton Wynne was Capt, JP and Private Secretary to several Marquesses of Londonderry. (In 1885 Newton Wynne was left £1,000 in the will of a Marquess  "as a mark of friendship and gratitude".) Chairman of St Oswald's Parish Church.  He was a notable sportsman, hunting with 66 packs of hounds during his lifetime.  After living in NSW, Australia, he travelled on the Royal Saxon to Calcutta 1847.  Newton Wynne took over Morben Lodge, Montgomery from his father; as part of his duties, moved to County Durham; on to Ireland in 1886 when the Marquess became Viceroy. During the 1890s and early 1900s, lived at South End House, (formerly the Shepherd Inn), St Oswald's, Durham.  He named his house Newton Wynne.  Now it houses Durham Uni. Sports Dept.  Newton Wynne APPERLEY, KVO, JP, published  North country hunting half a century ago, in 1924, and A Hunting Diary,  in 1926.
