Notes |
- In 1849, awarded five shillings as ploughman's mate of Adisham in ploughing match at Noninton.
1851 census: at Out Elmstead, Barham, a waggoner's second mate, unmarried, aged 18.
A witness at Ash on the 19 February 1859.
1861 census: aged 28, a carter at Loventon Lodge, Lydden, Kent.
1871 census: at 2 Brunswick Street, Herne, Kent, John A (39, ale store keeper), Harriet E (29), John A (5), Eleanor E (4), Flora J (1) and Minnie (5 months).
1881 census: at 39 Trinity Road, Beckenham, Kent, J Minter (46, carter), Harriet (36), John (15, draper's assistant), Ellen [Eleanor] (14, domestic servant), Flora J (11, scholar), Minnie (8, scholar), Annie (5) and Edward (4 months). It looks as if Eleanor was counted twice: an Eleanor E Minter, 14, born Faversham appears as a general servant (domestic) at 5 Eden Villas, Compton (?) Road, Penge.
1891 census: at 6 Westgate Road, Faversham, Kent, John (58, brewer's labourer), Harriett (48), Edward (10, scholar), Alfred (7, scholar) and Rose (5, scholar).
1901 census: John died in 1899; his widow Harriet (56) was at 6 Water Lane, Faversham with sons Edward (20, brewer's labourer) and Alfred (16, general brickfield labourer).
1911 census: see widow's Notes.
For some reason John's death was registered as John Hawkins Minter, and he was buried as John Hawkins Minter of Water Lane. Hawkins was the second name of son Alfred.
April 2016: email from Madeleine Read, giving death as at 6 Water Street, Favesham on 8 May 1899. Madeleine has the death certificate. She adds:
"I have marriage & death certificates for him. I have been holding back getting his birth certificate as the middle name seems to change. On his marriage certificate states John Arthur, on his death states John Hawkins, on his son Alfred Hawkins & on his wife's death certificate states father & husband John Hawkins Minter!!!!!
Did he change his middle name & why???? Strange isn't it? Must be some connection but I have not been able at this stage to solve it.
Harriett Elizabeth his wife died 23 July 1933 at 17 Clarence Cres Sidcup Kent."
July 2016: Madeleine has sent me copies of:
- John Arthur Minter's 1864 marriage certificate. It shows his name as John Arthur Minter, age 31.
- son Alfred Hawkins Minter's 1884 birth certificate. It gives the father's name as John Hawkins Minter.
- John Arthur/Hawkins Minter's 1899 death certificate. It gives the deceased's name as John Hawkins Minter.
It's not known why 'Arthur' was dropped in favour of 'Hawkins' but the change must have happened between 1864 and 1884
