Whoever was Elsie's mother, it appears that at the time of the «b»1911 census«/b», Elsie was a pupil at a school (Row Hill?) in Chertsey, Surrey . Her age is shown as 13 and her birthplace as Stamford Hill, London (which is in the Hackney area). Elsie would by 1911 be an orphan, regardless of whether her mother was Lydia (Carter), who died in 1900, or Ellen Rhoda Minter.

12124 September 2007
The inclusion of Robert Cossey Minter as a child of Robert Minter and Lydia Cossey is based on several pieces of circumstantial evidence. In view of some of the information gathered, perhaps the most likely probability is that Robert was born to Lydia Cossey before she married Robert Minter. The facts that have been gathered are as follows:
1. When he died on 20 December 1848 (as Robert Minter) Robert's age was said to be 36. The only other indication of Robert's age is from the 1841 census which gives it as 25 but exact ages of adults were not required at the 1841 census. If Robert was 36 when he died in 1848 his birth year would have been 1811 or 1812 - Robert Minter and Lydia Cossey were married in September 1811.
2. Robert is known to have married Alithea Curtis. The only record of their marriage that has been found is an IGI entry for the marriage at Rackheath on 23 March 1834 of Elitha (sic) Curtis and Robert CONEY - probably a mis-trancription of Cossey.
3. At the marriage of Robert and Lydia Minter's son William in 1834, one of the witnesses was Robert Cossey. It's possible that Robert witnessed this marriage as William's brother.
4. Robert and Alithea (Curtis) named their son born on 24 April 1844 William. It seems highly probable that this was the individual who on 21 April 1881 married as William Cossey Minter. Although his age doesn't quite tie-up (he said he was 34, implying a birth year of 1846/47), he gave his father's name as Robert Minter deceased, farm labourer.
5. Both Robert and his wife Alithea died young, from TB, in 1848 and 1847 respectively. By then they had had a number of children, although exactly how many is uncertain. Certainly by the time of the 1841 census they had three, Robert (5), Mary (2) and Rebecca (2). By the time of the 1851 census, their parents having died, some of the children seem to have been in the Horsham St Faith Workhouse. Altogether there were 7 Minter children there, Elizabeth (8), Lydia (7), Robert (15), William (6), Samuel (10) and William (9), all born in Salhouse. Some of these were almost certainly Robert and Alithea's children but the Mary who lived with Robert and Alithea in 1841 was probably the Mary (age given as 15) who was living with her grandparents Robert and Lydia Minter. If this was the case, it would reinforce the idea that Robert Cossey Minter was the son of Lydia Cossey, ie (by adoption) the son of Robert and Lydia Minter.

May 2008: email contact with David Brown of North Walsham. His wife's maiden name was CURTIS and she shares an ancestor with Alithea Curtis. David has provided details of Alithea's ancestry. David originally believed that Alithea's married name was COSSEY rather than MINTER because (to quote David) "My wife's distant cousin Ann Foakes (nee Curtis) made contact with someone called Linda who is Alitha's 4Xgreat-grand-daughter. It was she who first reported "Alitha's daughter Rebecca Cossey maried William Tungate....."".
David also says "Concerning Rebecca, daughter of Alitha, I have from somewhere gathered her date of birth as 10.6.1839 at Salhouse and Rebecca MINTER is the only girl fitting those facts at the 1841 census so presumably that was the surname in use. However, it was Rebecca COSSEY whose birth was registered at St Faith's June Quarter 1839 and who married William Charles TUNGATE (marriage registered December Quarter 1864 at Blofield) with whom she had five children in Norfolk and a further four after moving to Yorkshire. There must be a strong inclination to say that they're the same person - the problem is to prove it."
I have since discovered that Robert and Alithea's second child Mary was also (probably) registered as COSSEY, in Q4 1837 at St Faith's 13/87.

February 2016: email from Linda Ferguson, the 'someone called Linda' referred to above. Linda has sent copies of (a) the marriage register entry for the 23 March 1834 marriage between Robert COSSEY and Elitha CURTIS and (b) the 10 June 1839 birth certificate of Rebecca COSSEY.

March 2016: email from Denise Nelson:
"My gg grandparents are Robert Cossey Minter and Alethea Curtis; their son William Cossey Minter married to Mary Peacock are my g grandparents; their son Harry Sidney Minter married to Elizabeth Sophia Jollands are my grandparents and their daughter Elizabeth is my mum."

VICTORIA
Melbourne, January 2
A sad fatality occurred near Murchison yesterday afternoon, two sons of Michael MINTER, of Dhurringile station, losing their lives. One of the youths named Geoffrey went into the water for a duck he had shot. He got out of his depth, and being unable to swim he sank. His brother Charles plunged in to his assistance, but was heavily weighted by leggings and shooting gear, and was unable to regain the bank. Both were drowned.

The drowning incident was reported in at least three newspapers. Their reports include a great deal of detail about how the accident happened and include what are in effect obituaries of the two young men.
Thanks to Tim Kendall I have copies of the 3 reports.

12132 September 2009: from www.chelseamilitaria.co.uk/MedalList41.pdf:
Clifford Leonard Minter, who was born at Colchester, Essex in January 1902,
entered the Royal Navy as a Boy Servant in May 1918 and quickly went to sea
in the battle cruiser Princess Royal, serving aboard her from August 1918 until
June 1919. He was subsequently awarded his R.V.M. in June 1922 for
services as an Officer's Steward aboard the Renown during the Prince of
Wales' tour of India and Japan, and the L.S. & G.C. Medal while serving as a
Petty Officer Steward in the submarine depot ship Dolphin in January 1935.

12133 September 2010: email contact from Murray Smith. Thomas Smith was Murray's great grandfather - Murray is a descendant of Thomas Smith's second marriage.
Murray comments as follows:
"I have Thomas' naval record (he served two terms starting as a stoker in 1856) and he ended up in the coastguard service on the West coast of Ireland, dying in Scotland in 1917. He seemed flexible when stating his date of birth (1.1 1837 or 1838), possibly because he wanted to join the RNavy without parent's consent, and the census return for 1901 suggests both he and his wife were 10 years younger than they were. His place of birth on the navy records is stated as Holborn and I am trying to find his birth records to get to his parents but it is of course rather difficult."

Murray provided the details shown here of Thomas and Mary Ann's children, 'information largely sourced from family bible'. Murray also provided details of Thomas and Maria's children.

Thomas's birth date is given by Murray as 1 January 1837 or 1838.

12135 September 2011: Janice Taufana reports that George was first baptised on 26 December 1834 in the Thorpe-le-Soken Baptist Church by Min. William Bolton, who was sent to Thorpe to open the first Baptist Church in 1800.
The reason for George's second baptism in 1837 at St Michaels Church isn't known.

1851 census (indexed as GAMBARO by Ancestry): George, 14, born Thorp Green, Essex, was a page at a lady's school at 50 Hamilton Terrace, St John, Marylebone, London.

1861 census: at 12 Sykes Place, Mile End Old Town, London, George (25, beer house keeper, born Essex), Martha (27, born Essex), William (brother, 16, potman, born Essex), Ellen (sister, 21, servant, born Essex), a lodger John Weller and a boarder, name unreadable.

Janice Taufana writes:
George first came to the Southern Hemisphere in 1859 on the Royal Mail packet steam ship ONEIDA as forward bedroom servant (... my father Aubrey would tell us children that his Grandfather, George, was the Captain I only found out after my Daddy died that in fact, George was crew.!!) The ONEIDA arrived Sydney, New South Wales 23rd Jan 1859.
His second voyage arrived Sydney NSW 4th May 1859. This steamer would carry mail and passengers from the Northern Hemisphere to the Southern. A steamer in turn would arrive from New Zealand to pick up mail etc. from Sydney or Melbourne.

George changed his name to de Garnham when he arrived in New Zealand. All the de Garnhams in the world are direct descendants of this man.
We have no idea why he put the "de" in front of GARNHAM when he settled in NZ. I do know for certain that he spoke the French language. Where he picked it up? Well that is anyone's guess. The first documented evidence that I have where he is named George de Garnham is 2nd Jan 1867 Southland Times Newspaper New Zealand.

George's wife Catherine Kirkham's father was a convict, Thomas Alfred Kirkham.

The website at:
http://roger.lisaandroger.com/getperson.php?personID=I12840&tree=Roger
indicates that George and Catherine had 9 children, the first of which, Thomas George de Garnham, was Janice Taufana's grandfather.

12136 September 2012, Mary Hutching, by email, believes that William was the brother of her great grandfather. All of William's 8 siblings (bar one who died in childhood) emigrated to New Zealand.

1861 census (1): in Padlers End, Moreton, Essex, William HUTCHIN (sic) (30, widower *, ag lab, born Magdalenlaver, Essex) and his son William (4, born Moreton) were lodging with William HUTCHIN (66, ag lab, born Magdalen Laver), his wife Ann (50, born High Laver) and their sons George (13) and James (10). William senior was presumably William junior's father. Next door was John HUTCHIN, his wife and 3 children - probably William's brother.
* Jane had died in Q3 1859.
1861 census (2): William's daughter Sarah (2, born Moreton) was with her grandparents William NOTTAGE (51, ag lab, born Abbots Roothing, Essex)) and Rebecca NOTTAGE (55, born Harlow, Essex) and their son Samuel NOTTAGE (23, ag lab, born White Roothing, Essex). They were living in Farfield Road, Moreton, Essex.

1871 census: at 32 Laurel Grove, Penge, Surrey, (all HUTCHING), William (41, labourer, born Moreton, Essex), Mary (44, born South Wales), William (14, scholar, born Moreton) and Sarah A (11, scholar, born Moreton).

1881 census: at 11 Tennyson Road, Beckenham, Kent, (all HUTCHINGS), William (50, labourer, born Essex), Mary (53, born Blanavon, Wales), Sarah A (22, laundress, born Moreton) and Ann (m in l, widow, 71, born High Laver, Essex).

1891 census: in the District Bromley Union Workhouse, Farnborough, Kent: William HUTCHING, 60, widower *, general labourer, born Magdalen Laver, Essex.
* Mary had died in Q2 1890.

September 2012: Mary Hutching has established from an index of Workhouse inmates that:
William was admitted to the Workhouse on 31 August 1890 - his next of kin was given as son John Minter of 19 or 21 Tennyson, Penge.
William's wife Mary was admitted on 12 Jun 1890, next of kin husband William, 21 Tennyson Road, Penge. Died on 16 June 1890.
William's son William was admitted on 14 July 1888. No next of kin given. Died on 1 June 1890.
Mary Hutching subsequently got the following from Arthur Holden, Senior Customer Services Assistant, Bromley Local Studies and Archives:
There is no discharge date in the first volume of the Creed Register for William, as when the volume was filled up, they transferred the details of each person still in the workhouse into the next volume and then entered further detail there when necessary. So, I have checked the next volume of the Creed Registers which shows that William died 11 November 1895.

12137 September 2012: David Murphy, Joyce's son writes by email:
"Her father, a farmer, hung himself on 31 May, 1916 on a property known as "Stoneleigh" near Barmedman. It is believed that financial problems were the cause of depression.
After his death, the family was split up and Joyce was sent to the Sydney suburbs to live with Maud Langford Minter, Joyce's aunt. In Mum's own words, "She was a veritable tyrant and a huge woman".
Mum lived with her for many years, became a milliner ….and then there are gaps that I'm trying to fill…married had children and a good life and then passed away, blind."

12138 September 2016: John J Minter provided the following:
Barnsley Chronicle Saturday, 29th December, 1888.
«u»Marriages«/u»
"On December 25th at St. George's Church by the Rev. R.H. Law, BA
Joseph Ibbeson to Elizabeth Ann Minter."

1911 census (transcript, supplied by John Minter, Preston): at 6 St Barts's Terrace, Dobie Street, Barnsley, Yorkshire:
Henry BARTON (head, married, 48, coal miner hewer, born Barnsley), Elizabeth Ann BARTON (wife, married 10 years, 43, born Barnsley), Annie IBBESON (daughter, single, 19, grocers assistant, born Barnsley), Ada IBBESON (daughter, single, 15, machinist, born Barnsley), James BARTON (son, single, 10, born Barnsley) and Elizabeth MINTER (mother in law, widow, 77, born Barnsley).

John J. Minter writes: Elizabeth Ann was Mrs IBBESON and later Mrs Henry BARTON. One of the IBBESON girls is illegitimate, born between Elizabeth Ann's marriages - I think it is Ada. Elizabeth Ann was a tailoress living at home on Oak Street when her "extra" child was born.

Elizabeth Ann was buried alone as the wife of George RENSHAW, as of 22 Castlereagh Street, Barnsley. John J Minter comments:
"the Grave of Elizabeth Ann Minter/Ibbesson/Barton/Renshaw [is] in Barnsley Cemetery. Very plain and derelict now, but it does show her initials on the closer view. I wonder who arranged this grave? Almost all other Minter graves have no markers, never mind sidestones. I presume it was her third husband, who lived until 1941. When he was younger he was a general remover and carrier. He had a bit of money, as he left £328 in a Will to his son Denton Renshaw." 
Minter, Elizabeth Ann (I159)
 
12139 September 2017: email from Cristi Whitehead:
"Gertrude Minter is Ada Gertrude Minter
b. 25 Dec 1918
d. 21 Jun 1991
Her husband was Moses Stone.
"Gertie" was my grandmother and Moses my grandfather."

As a result of this email I've found more information at findagrave.com.

12140 September 2020: email from Simon Scowen in New Zealand:
"Rebecca Caroline Minter is my 2nd great grandmother I have done a DNA test and have reason to believe my 2% Nigerian blood comes from the Minter side as my Mothers 1st cousin has 6% and Rebecca Caroline Minter is his great grandmother any info will be of great help thank you."
I replied to the effect that I can't see where the Nigerian blood might have come from.

12141 September 2020: ever since I created this record, I have assumed that Henry's name, in full, was Henry Daniel Minter, but I can't now find any justification for this assumption. There's a baptismal record at familysearch.com for a Henry Bradley Minter. The details (copied from familysearch.org) are as follows:
Name: Henry Bradley Minter
Names Note: Abode: East Walworth
Event Type: Christening
Event Date: 16 Sep 1821
Event Place: Southwark, Surrey, England, United Kingdom
Event Place (Original): St. George The Martyr, Southwark, Surrey, England
Gender: Male
Birth Date: 2 Mar 1817
Father's name: Wm. Minter
Mother's Name: H... Minter
I think these details almost certainly refer to the Henry who is the subject of these Notes and so, although the middle name Bradley doesn't seem to appear on any other document, I'm adopting it here.

1841 census: at George Yard, Lambeth (apparently a separate house from his mother, also in George Yard), Henry (20, fisherman), Phoebe (20) and Phoebe (6 months). All born Surrey.

When Henry Daniel was baptised in 1845, his parents were shown as Henry & Phoebe Maria, of John Street, Henry a fisherman.

When William John was baptised in 1848, his parents were shown as Henry & Phoebe, of 15 New Street, Henry a labourer.

1851 census: at 3 Miles Street, Greenwich, Henry (34, labourer), Phoebe (31), Henry (6), Rebecca (4) and William (2). This was the address when John Deane was baptised in February 1851 and buried in April 1851 aged 5 months.

When Harriet Ann baptised 1855, her parents were shown as Henry & Catherine, of Old Woolwich Road, Henry a labourer. Same address when Harriet Ann died a month later.

When children Francis Daniel and Alice Emma were baptised on the same day in 1859, their parents were shown as Henry & Catherine, of East Street, Henry a labourer.

There is some uncertainty about what happened to Henry Minter in the 1850s. It would seem that some time between 30 March 1851 (when the 1851 census was taken) and 1 December 1851 (when Henry married Catherine Clinker), Henry's first wife Phoebe "disappeared". Despite extensive searching, no trace of her whatsoever after the 1851 census can be found. If she died, the death does not appear to have been registered.
November 2010: thanks to Christine Small - it seems likely that Phoebe died in 1851 and that the entry in the BMD index for Phoebe Maria MINTON in Q3 at Bury St Edmunds 13/295 refers to her.
It was originally thought that the Henry Minter who appeared on the 1851 census with Phoebe, and the Henry Minter who married Catherine Clinker in 1851, were different people. However the following information, courtesy of Carol Kilford, has persuaded us that this was not so. Carol wrote in May 2006 in an email to Christine Small:
"1. Both [the Henry who married Phoebe and the Henry who married Catherine] were born around 1816.
2. My cousin who sat at the knee of her grandmother, Rebecca Minter daughter of Henry of Lambeth, wrote to me that Henry died on board a cable laying ship on his last voyage. Your Henry died aboard a coastal vessel in 1859.
3. My ancestor Rebecca Minter was sent off to her maternal grandfather in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk pre 1867. Was this because her father had died and stepmother felt unable to look after the children of both marriages?
4. The last child of Henry & Phoebe was bapt in 1848 Lambeth, and the first of Henry & Catherine 1853 in Charlton, London. The time periods dovetail.
5. None of the Christian names of the children of the two families are duplicated.
6. Henry & Phoebe were known to be living in Greenwich at the time of the 1851 census. Catherine is living in Greenwich at the time of Henry's death in 1859**.
7. The Henry who married Catherine was a widower. His father was William Minter a shoemaker. The Henry who married Phoebe, his father was William Minter a shoemaker. "
** thanks to Simon Scowen, we now have a copy of Henry's death certificate. It shows that Henry died on 24 November 1858 on board the ship Warwick(?) off Port Greenwich. Henry was 43, a stoker. He died of diarrhoea & dysentry. The informant, on 26 Novenber, was Catherine Minter of 6 Bennett Street, Greenwich, who was present at the death.

1861 census: at 14 East Street, St Alphage Greenwich, Catherine (widow, 44, charwoman), Alice (8) and Walter (4). Also what looks like Frances (but possibly Francis or James), described as son, 16, labourer. All born Greenwich. This could have been either Catherine's son, down as Minter, or Henry's son from his first marriage. But there is no trace of him in 1851 or 1871 and no trace of the birth of a Francis or James Minter about 1844. Catherine definitely wasn't living at 14 East Street in 1851.

1871 census: at 1 Wybourns Place, Greenwich, Catherine (widow, 56, laundress), Alice (19, born Charlton), Walter (14) and Ada WINSLOW (grandchild, 5, born Greenwich).

12142 September 2023: email from Stella's daughter Carina. Carina says that her mother was raised by her sister Marie after her mother died. Marie had 4 of her own children to Frank Manzi - Kay (also in Australia), Paul, Gina (deceased) and Carl.

Carina goes on "My mum moved to Australia and married my father George Jefferson who she had met in England and followed him to Australia. He already had a daughter from his previous marriage, my sister Jackie."

Carina says "[Mum's] d.o.b is 1/3/44 (actually 29/2 as it was a leap year but they registered her birth as 1/3)"

12143 September 2023: Jim Minter points out that Robert's death record at NSW BMD shows F George Martin M Joan Martin - should be Joan Margaret. Minter, Robert George (I4095)
 
12144 September 2023: the significance of the following isn't clear:
Volume 9, No. 1 (Jan 1924) of the Journal of Negro History discusses "Free Negro Owners of Slaves in the United States in 1830" and has a table which, under the City of Richmond, Virginia, shows that a Betsy Tinsley aged 24 - 36 owned 1 slave. The total number of people in Betsy's household was 2 ie herself and the slave. This table appears to have been based on the 1830 census.
Given that 'our' Betsy would have been only about 15 in 1830, it's questionable whether the Betsy mentioned in the table refers to her.

The burial record shows age at death as 77, which doesn't agree with her age at the time of the 1861 census. 
TINSLEY, Elizabeth "Betsy" (I1894)
 
12145 Served as a PFC in the US Marines in Korea.

When I received the record for William Bruce Minter, his (only) wife was shown as Connie, and they were shown with 5 children:
Ana Marie
Megan
Elizabeth
Robert
Keith

I can only find Megan (as Megan Michell) as William & Connie's child. But I found Charles Keith as the child of William Bruce and an earlier wife.

For the time being I've deleted Ana Marie, Elizabeth, Robert and Keith.
