This issue of the Newsletter will focus on one of the Pitton, Wiltshire lines. From time to time inthis research you realize you have made and error and need to correct it. This requires not onlyexplaining the error but showing enough evidence to prove your correction and ensuring that futureresearchers do not just repeat the same error. In this case Quintin White had pointed out there weretwo Joseph Whitlocks’ born in the early 1700's in Pitton, and while we had two marriages forJoseph Whitlocks, there had been an assumption made that they were the same Joseph who marriedtwice. Quintin indicated they were in fact two different Joseph Whitlocks. The articles in thisNewsletter detail how the problem arose and show what I think is adequate proof that Quintin iscorrect. While this results in quite a bit of data transferring from the WHITLOCK50 chart to theWHITLOCK03 chart, it appears to only change the ancestors of one of our late researchers.

The latest package of research by Lawrence Otis contained extracts from many of the rural historiespublished across Canada detailing the stories of the pioneers who first settled each of these areas(R2791-R2814). These histories give insights into the lives of many of the Whitlock and Whitelockfamilies who played their part in opening the Canadian Prairies. Our thanks to Lawrence for addingthese to our collection.

Included in this issue is an article on the Whitlocks of Salhouse, Norfolk. I have corresponded forseveral years with Pat Kelly who lives in Victoria, BC. When Pat was a kid growing up in Victoriathere was a Whitlock family living next door and Pat was always curious about what happened tothem. He remembered there was a picture of his friend Ronald’s uncle on the wall. EdwardWhitlock had been killed during the First World War and using the British Military records Pat wasable, by following a step by step process, to finally to determine where the family came from inEngland. This allowed me to finally provide Pat with some information from our records. Over theyears Pat gathered some very interesting details relating to the First World War and specifically thebattle in which this Whitlock died. Hopefully the resulting article will be of interest.

I was interested to see the item (X6648) about John Whitlock Narraway who was the Mayor ofBideford in Devon in the 1800's. There must be some Whitlock family connection there but havenot determined it yet.

The scanning of our collection of documents continues steadily. I should finish the R1700's thisweek. I have also been working with Ancestry.com records to try to complete some of our censuscollection. A slow process but hopefully it will make our census collection even more useful asmore US states are complete from 1790 to 1930.

The amount of data being sent in has declined quite a bit in the past year, as you can see from theshorter additions lists included with each Newsletter. I still get a fairly steady stream of personswho contact me and having the ability to chat with researchers using MSN, Yahoo or Skype hasbeen terrific. Sometimes the computer to computer phone system has a bit of delay to it but onceyou get used to that, conversations flow normally. The best thing of course is that it is free. If youare stuck on a problem or need to ask a question and you can see that I am on-line, it is easy tocontact me and see if I am free to talk. So far I have done calls to Australia, England and Germanyas well as the USA and Canada. The trick is knowing what time it is at the other end!! Europe iseight hours ahead and the east coast is three hours ahead. I am normally on the computer from about5:30am until 11:00am if I am at home. While I am semi-retired, I do work from time to time. If youwish to book a time to call, just email me and I will set one up with you. All you need to do this acamera (with a microphone) connected to your computer and be registered with one of the freeinternet services, MSN, Yahoo or Skype.

Enclosed with this issue is your renewal form. The last two digits on your address line tell you thelast year paid. For those receiving the Newsletter by email, I will have downloaded your renewalforms and advised those who have prepaid for 2009. I hope the Newsletter continues to be usefuland that you will continue to support this research with a renewal for another year. The only changeI have made in rates this year is to round the British rate to £10 to cover changes in the exchangerate.

Also enclosed is our statement for the past year. While we did spend more funds than we took inthat was mainly due to the cost of converting from a dial-in internet connection to a wireless one.Hopefully funds well spent - considering the increased access to the files it affords.

As we head into December I would like to wish everyone all the best for the coming HolidaySeason.

JOY WHITLOCK - SINGERI recently saw a reference to Joy Whitlock’s new CD God and a Girl and was intrigued to know more. Isearched the Internet and discovered there were a great many references to this singer and decided to findout more about her. Joy is a true child of the 21 century - everything you could want to know about her andher music is available on the Internet. Just search for “Joy Whitlock” and it all lays out before you,websites, blogs, videos, music etc etc.

JNC’s weblog from Apr.30,2008 says that JoyWhitlock is Ardent Record’s newly signed singer.Kevin Davis’ Music and Book Reviews had thefollowing to say Oct.17,2008 “Joy is a folk-stylesinger-songwriter similar to KT Tunstall, KendallPayne and Jennifer Knapp. If every flock needed ablack sheep, Joy readily filled that role maybe tooeagerly seeking to numb a pain that could only behealed by the One who created her. ‘I tried to fill theemptiness I felt with anything that numbed or felt likelove – drugs… promiscuity… the usual stuff.’ Shelooks back with regret now at the pain she caused hermother and father as well as the embarrassment shesubjected them to with her actions, a theme she toucheson in the standout track Faith Don’t Fail based on Luke22:31-32. The scene Joy so vividly recounts is fromMel Gibson’s ‘The Passion of the Christ’. It’s notexactly a movie you look forward to seeing. But I wentand accepted Jesus that night.”

Kevin Davis reviews several of the songs on Joy’s CDand compares her to singers like Alanis Morrisette andKT Tunstall and finishes with “if you are looking forCCM's next Jennifer Knapp, look no further than JoyWhitlock.”


Vol.27 No.4Dec 2008

You can tell from Joy’s lyrics that writing songs is part of her healing process. Getting all that hurt out ispart of the necessary healing that needed to take place. In the song “Faith don’t Fail” are the lines:

“I just wanna get this outI wish I didn’t know what I know

These memories won’t let me go”

This has obviously helped Joy move on from one kind of life to another. A lifethat is hopefully now meeting Joy’s needs and fulfilling her. Changing your wholelifestyle is an amazingly hard task and many fail to achieve what Joy has.

Joy was born Aug.30,1980. She is an interesting addition to our Whitlock familyas her connection to the Whitlocks is by choice. Her father was born in Illinoiswith the surname Bean but was adopted by Ken Whitlock of Branson, Missouriand took the Whitlock surname. Joy is certainly doing her bit to make Whitlock awell known name in a unique and interesting way. Thanks Joy and good luck.

JOSEPH WHITLOCK OF PITTON 1741In September I received the following email from Quintin White:

“Peter, Found what appears to be an error in FILE: WHITLOCK 50. K7 son of John & Martha Whitlockshown as bpt 4 Nov 1702 married to 1st to Sarah Fry 2nd Martha Blake. It is my understanding it wasJoseph Whitlock, bpt 29 July 1703, .... son of George who married Martha Blake.”

This set me on a fairly lengthy analysis of everything we know about these two Joseph Whitlocks. Based onthe assumption the one who married Sarah Fry is different from the one who married Martha Blake Iattempted to divide our information into two separate files, WJO1 for the Joseph who married Sarah Fry andWJO14 for the Joseph who married Martha Blake.

Some things were obvious. The grave marker for Joseph Whitlock (1703-1741), Martha Whitlock (1703-1769) and their daughter Mary Whitlock (1725?-1751?) in the Pitton churchyard. The Will of JosephWhitlock, 1741 (See pg 8.) naming his wife Martha as executrix. The will of Martha Whitlock, 1769 (Seepg 9.) All WJO14.

Then I came to the notes by Ralph Whitlock on the 1851 census extracts. “There was a Joseph Whitlock(wife’s name not recorded) who was producing a family between 1725 and 1740. The children are:- Mary(1725); Anne (1727); Thomas (1731); Esau and Joseph (1739); Martha (1740). Actually the parentage ofEsau and Joseph is not recorded, but it seems reasonable to suppose that Joseph above would have namedone of his sons after himself. Again there are no marriages recorded, but we can assume that Joseph whowas the father of the above children was probably in his twenties when the eldest, Mary, was born in 1725.Checking back to the right period, we find that Joseph, the son of John Whitlock, was born in 1702.” Thisappears to be the first reference to Joseph who married Martha Blake and assuming he was the one born1702.

In 1716 there is an apprenticeship record for Joseph the son of John Whitlock of New Sarum, Wilts,Yeoman. Joseph was being apprenticed to Samuel Woodyer for £5 16s to be a blacksmith. This Josephwould therefore be WJO01

The Manor of Pitton records of a court held May 16,1739 show a reference to Jos Whitlock as one of theHomagers for that court.

The manorial documents for May 16,1739 also show:


Vol.27 No.4Dec 2008

We present Jos: Whitlock for making an Encroachment and making a Hedge to farring Highway in a Closeagainst Black Lane and that the sd Hedge shall be removed in its proper place by ye sd Joseph Whitlock inSix Months time under ye penalty of Forty Shillings.

In the Manorial records for Jun.21,1764:

Also we present Martha Whitlock to find a Tythingman for the Year ensuing and Thomas Whitlock her sonis sworn accordingly. This would be WJO14.

In the Manorial records for Jun.12,1766:

Also we present Thomas Whitlock to be Hayward for Pitton for the year ensuing and is sworn accordingly.

Sep.11,1730 Joseph Whitlock, George Whitlock his son & Francis Edmonds

Sep.15,1735 Joseph Whitlock, Martha his wife & Anne their daughter

After reviewing all this information about the two Joseph Whitlocks a couple things become fairly clear.Firstly the vast majority of the information relates to the Joseph Whitlock who married Martha Blake.Joseph son of John Whitlock shows in his apprenticeship records in 1716 and his marriage to Sarah Fry in1722. All the rest of the data appears to relate to the family of Joseph Whitlock who married Martha Blake.We know Joseph & Martha’s daughter Joan married Josiah Rolfe and there are several references to thisJoan. The clue that I think clinches Quintin’s theory is the deed dated Mar.25,1726. You will note abovethere are two references to this deed. One in the Strangways Collection that shows Joseph Whitlock ofPitton on the same deed with George Whitlock and Anne his wife. The second reference appears in theSurvey of Pitton, 1766 which refers to the original 1726 deed and shows the leasee as Martha Whitlock andher sons Mathias and Esau. The George Whitlock refered to is the one who married Ann MalloryApr.17,1682 at Alderbury, Wiltshire. George and Ann had two children, George b.1685 and Joseph b.1703.Think this is a fairly good indication that George Whitlock was the father of the Joseph Whitlock whomarried Martha Blake. (See George Whitlock’s Will on Page 13)

Our thanks to Quintin White for bringing this error to our attention. I have made the necessary changes tothe charts. I have now moved all the descendants of Joseph Whitlock from the WHITLOCK50 chart to theWHITLOCK03 one. If you have any questions about this change, please email me.

EDWARD WHITLOCK (1896-1914) OFSALHOUSE, NORFOLKSome years ago Pat Kelly of Victoria, BC. telephoned me to ask if I had come across a Ronald Whitlockfrom Victoria in my research. Pat had grown up in the Gorge area of Victoria in the 1930's and his bestfriend as a child was Ronald. At the time all Pat could remember was that there was a photo on the wall ofRonald’s uncle Edward who died November 1,1914 when the HMS Monmouth was torpedoed off the coastof Chile during the Battle of Coronel. Pat did not know where the family had lived in England beforecoming to Canada in 1934.

Over the years Pat plugged away at his research. He contacted the late Edward Whitlock in Regina who hadseveral family members in the Gorge area of Victoria. Edward’s family came from Chelsea, London butcould not see any connection to the Edward Whitlock that Pat was trying to trace.

Pat searched the Commonwealth Graves Commission site and found Edward shown as a Sick BerthAttendant with a Royal Navy service number of M5448. There was reference to him on the Plymouth NavalMemorial. This gave Pat a service number and armed with that he wrote to the Imperial War Museum.They did not have the service records but directed Pat to where they could be obtained.

Through putting details on the Great War Forum in Feb.2007 Pat was able to link with others researchingWWI records. This group found that while Edward’s birthdate was give as Sep.4,1893, he had lied about hisage as his birth was registered in 1896 in Salhouse, Norfolk. This was later confirmed by checking the 1901census. The forum listed several Whitlocks from Norfolk in the WWI files. William John Whitlock whoserved on the New Zealand turned out to be Edward’s older brother born Jun.4,1894. There was alsoreference to a Herbert Frederick Whitlock born Sep.5,1881 Salhouse, Norfolk who was Edward’s Uncle.

In February 2008 Pat contacted the Salhouse Village Magazine and website. They were able to provide1891 census information and Salhouse church records showing the marriage of Edward’s parents WilliamJohn Whitlock and Hannah Watts Holden Nov.16,1893 and several baptisms and burials for Edward’sfamily.

In March 2008 Pat was able to obtain a copy of the 1901 census entry for Edward Whitlock. It showed himliving in Salhouse, Norfolk age 4 with his parents as William & Hannah Whitlock and his brother Williamage 6. A sister Jessie Agnes born in 1898 does not show on the 1901 census and it is assumed she had died.

Pat contacted the Coronel Memorial organization and they were able to confirm what he already knew butalso provided information on how to obtain Edward’s service record from the National Archives.

Through the Great War Forum, Pat had also found that there were two service numbers assigned to Edwardthe M5448 he already knew plus K13540. Using information from these two organizations, in August 2008Pat sent £3.50 off the National Archives and was able to download both of Edward’s service records. Thesetold Pat what ships Edward served on since joining the Navy Dec.22,1911 for a 12 year term. While theinformation he gave at the time said he was 18 in reality he was only just 15. Starting with the Vivid II,Edward served on five ships before transferring to the ill-fated HMS Monmouth on August 2, 1914.

The Coronel Memorial website includes a description of the last signal received from the HMS Monmouth

“A new incident in the last fight of HMS Monmouth, sunk by the German cruisers in the action off Coronel,is related by one of the crew of the Glasgow in a letter received at Newport, Isle of Wight. After describinghow the [HMS] Good Hope caught fire and blew up the writer says:- That was the end of the Good Hope,and it did not make things very cheerful for our two remaining ships.

After about one and a half hours’ fighting the Monmouth caught fire too, but fortunately got it under. Shewas badly damaged. We also had several big holes below the waterline, one funnel smashed and several menwounded.

Shortly after the Monmouth hauled off and we followed. The Monmouth then reported, “Am making waterbadly forward. Engines disabled and in a sinking condition, but am making towards the enemy to try andtorpedo her.”

That was the last we saw of the good old Monmouth, and it made tears come into everyone’s eyes when thecaptain told us of the signal. It was impossible to lower a boat or stay behind to render them assistance as wehad all our work cut out to keep afloat, and there was a tremendous sea running.

So our captain ordered “Full speed ahead.” As the enemy were making us a good target, and if we had stayedmuch longer we should have shared the fate of the others. So we were defeated, but not disgraced by a longway.

Reproduced from a newspaper article dated 21 December 1914; the newspaper is unknown at present.

Supplied [to the Coronel Memorial site] by J.D.Atkinson.”

The Coronel Memorial organization also provided Pat with an interesting BC connection. In the ChilkoLakes area of British Columbia there are several features that have names connected to the Battle ofCoronel. Richard Preston Bishop, BCLS (British Columbia Land Surveyor) had suggested the names GoodHope and Monmouth for the names to be assigned to newly climbed peaks in the region. On May 6,1924 thenames were adopted for two mountains in the area.

----

From the information Pat Kelly was able to uncover I was able to place Edward Whitlock as part of theWHITLOCK58 chart, The Whitlocks of Norfolk #2. Edward’s father William John Whitlock shows born in1870 in Salhouse, the son of William Fowler Whitlock and his wife Emily Coe. The records indicate thatWilliam Fowler Whitlock was the son of John Whitlock and Elizabeth Kirk who were married inWoodbastwick, Norfolk Oct.18,1808. We are not positive of John’s parents but think they were ElizabethWhitlock and Jonathan Landermore. Our thanks to Pat Kelly for sharing his research with us and hopefullythis will help lead us to the elusive Ronald Whitlock.
