He is described as being from Whichford in the marriage register.

Note N1258 Index

He mentions no wife or children in his will. Therefore I presume he had none. He does speak of his mother Mary, and his brothers Nicholas, Thomas, and Henry and his sisters Mary Timmes and Margaret Thornet, wife of Ambrose Thornett.

Note N1259 Index

In his attestation record when he signed up for WW1, dated February 16, 1916, he was still single and living with his parents at 1219. 13th Avenue, West, in Calgary. He gives his birth place as Wellburn, Ontario. He was a mail clerk. He appears to have been wounded in September 1918 with t gun shot wound to his left thigh.

In mid-September 1918, his wife Edith May was recorded as living at 17 Michael Street, Peel, Isle of Mann. Did they marry there?

I am begining to think that Edith dhad died before 1944, as he is shown as categroy W on an entry to Washington State taht year.and he list J Haley of Clagary as his contact. .

Note N1261 Index

His will was dated September 21, 1843, and proven March 28, 1848. It was proven by his daugher Kezia, wife of William Timms. So which William did she marry? I think that I have that right.
He also speaks of his "dear wife Kezia" and and his son "Edward Timms, the younger". From that I conclude that they were the only surviving children in 1843. But I have never found a son Edward, only John who died in 1839.

Note N1262 Index

As per his will, he did not marry his housekeeper but she bore him two children: Anthony and John. As she is referred to as Anthony's "late hosekeeper" in his will of May 25, 1855, she must have died before then.

Note N1263 Index

He was baptised Anthony Barlett, on December 25, 1818. His twin, Henry was baptised on the same day I cannot find his brother John's baptism. I know that he was in Michigan in 1855 but I cannot find him in any US census for 1850 or 1860. There is an Anthon Times in an insane aslylum in California in 1880. I believe that is very likley he. I say that based on a number of things, including the following:
Anthony Times. Committed by Judge Wm Churchman of Sonoma Co. April 21st 1862. Age 45 years. Native of the Island of Great Britain, last from the State of Michigan, has resided in Cal 4 years. Previous habits good. Cause of insanity family troubles. His class of insanity is lunacy (loss of reason). Present condition healthy. Admitted April 24, 1862. Has no Property. Died July 27th 1880 of Organic disease of brain.

Notes

Note N1264 Index

I have his will done on December 31, 1711. He speaks of his wife Elizabeth and his children William and Anne. Anne is clearly under 21 years of age because the will speaks of receiving her legacy when and if she attains that age. All of the property bequeathed by him is in Hook Norton. The will was witnessed by Edward Timmes among others. Since I know that Anne married Anthony Dickins, then she obviously survived to age 21.

Note N1265 Index

In his will of March 19, 1764, he speaks of his brother-in-law Nicholas Timms of Burryfield in Hook Norton. He speaks of his two friends, Thomas Brain of Long Compton and Thomas Snow of Tidmington, Gloucestershire. If I am right, then Thomas Snow was actually his brother-in-law. At the date of his will he had not children but he speaks of possible heirs to be born.

He also speaks of his sister-in-law Margaret Thornett, wife of Ambrose Thornett of Sutton under Brailes and his sister-in-law Mary Slatter, wife of William Slatter of Ascot. He also speaks of Thomas Timmes, brother of Nicholas.
He also speaks of his nephews William Timmes and John Timmes, sons of his late brother William Timmes. But most puzzlingly, he speaks of his mother-in-law, Mary Timmes and his brothres-in-law Nicholas and Thomas Timmes. I am forced ot believe, subject to the sloopy language, that he married his cousin Margaret Timmes, but then why the refence to Amrose Thornett of Sutton under Brailes, and his sister-in-law, Margaret Timms, wife of Ambrose?

It is actually quite a complicated will dealing with mortgages and the forgiving thereof. I need to read it again more carefully.
