1895; Three letters from Reverend Thomas Henry Gregory, Padbury Vicarage & Gore Villa, Padbury, Buckinghamshire.
Thomas Henry Gregory was born at Mount Villa,
Dringhouses
, York on 7 March 1842 and baptised at St Mary
Bishophill
, York on 2 April. He was the son of Thomas Gregory and his wife Mary.
At the time of the 1851 census Thomas (9) was living at Mount Villa,
Dringhouses
with his father Thomas (65), who was an importer and dealer in tea; his mother Mary (47); and his sister Mary Emily (21), plus their four servants.
They were still there at the time of the 1861 census. Thomas’s father had now retired and was serving as a magistrate of the City of York, and as well as his sister Mary another sister,
Janson
Alice Gregory (26), was home with them. They still had four servants. Thomas (19) was described as a scholar, and shortly afterwards on 23 May 1861 he was matriculated at the University of Oxford from
Brasenose
College. He obtained his
BA
in 1865 and his MA in 1870.
At the time of the 1871 census Mrs Mary Gregory (27) was living in Cheltenham at 16
Montpellier
Terrace with her new husband Thomas (29), who was then the Curate of
Ss
Philip & James’s Church in
Leckhampton
. Mary’s mother Caroline Gregory (57) was living with them, and they had two servants.
Mary’s mother Caroline appears to have returned to her sister-in-law at North Parade soon after that census, as she died there in 1874:
† Mrs Caroline Gregory née Cooper died at North Parade at the age of 59 on 1 May 1874 and was buried at St Sepulchre’s Cemetery on 7 May (burial recorded in the parish register of St Giles’s Church).
Thomas and Mary Gregory had the following three daughters:
Lucy Caroline Gregory (born in Cheltenham near the beginning of 1875)
Mary Constance Gregory (born in Padbury, Buckinghamshire near the beginning of 1877)
Grace
Tertia
Gregory (born in Padbury, Buckinghamshire near the beginning of 1881 and baptised there on 13 March).
The family moved from Cheltenham to Padbury in Buckinghamshire when Thomas was appointed Vicar there in 1876.
At the time of the 1881 census Thomas and Mary are hard to find, but heir children Lucy (6), Mary (4), and Grace (two months) were at home in Padbury vicarage being looked after by a nurse, cook, and a housemaid.
In 1891 Thomas (49) and Mary (47) were at home at Padbury vicarage with their daughters Lucy (16), Mary (14), and Grace (10), plus a cook and a housemaid.
Their eldest daughter was married in 1894 at the age of nineteen:
On 19 December 1894 in the Buckingham registration district (probably at Padbury church), Lucy Caroline Gregory married the solicitor John
Stanwell
Birkett.
In 1895 Thomas Henry Gregory was appointed Vicar of Whalley near Clitheroe in Yorkshire.
At the time of the 1901 census Thomas (59) and Mary (57) were at home in the vicarage at Whalley with their youngest daughter Grace (20) and one servant. Their other unmarried daughter Mary (24) was paying a visit to the family of a restaurant manager in Southport.
Mrs Gregory died six months after that census, and her body was brought to Oxford for burial with her mother:
† Mrs Mary Elizabeth Caroline Gregory née Gregory died at the Vicarage in Whalley at the age of 57 on 3 September 1901 and was buried at St Sepulchre’s Cemetery on 6 September (burial recorded in the parish register of St Giles’s Church).
Her sister Mrs Lucy Caroline Birkett was granted letters of administration.
Mary Gregory’s husband died three years later in London (although his home was still at the Vicarage in Whalley), and his body was brought to Oxford for burial with his mother-in-law and wife:
† Thomas Henry Gregory died at 9 Pembridge Place, Kensington at the age of 62 on 26 June 1904 and was buried at St Sepulchre’s Cemetery on 29 June (burial recorded in the parish register of St Giles’s Church).
In 1918 Thomas Henry Gregory’s three granddaughters sold Cutteslowe Farm to the Soden family. They in turn sold part of it to Oxford City Council in 1931 for a new council estate, and the remaining part, which is now Cutteslowe Park, to the council in 1936.
