RICHARD ETGOOS or ETGOSE 14??-1503

From Jane Cox's "Old East Enders" [ISBN 978 0 7509 5291 0], page 68:
"During the years that followed the lime 'millionaires' were to become most important men in the running of Stepney parish."

From Jane Cox's "Old East Enders" [ISBN 978 0 7509 5291 0], pages 103-104:
"The DRYVER and ETGOOS families ran the Limehouse kilns for several generations and intermarried William DRYVER, who died in 1487, had a wharf and was rich enough to be buried in the sepulchre in St. Dunstan's, the prize spot. His son, limeman Richard (d.1520), was wealthier than his father; his household in Limehouse boasted a fleet of servants, fur-lined gowns, feather beds, silver cutlery, a 7ft dining table and a quanity of fine bed linen. Richard held the important post of churchwarden..... He lent £20 to his eldest son, Richard, 'on condition that he be good to his mother and comfort her at all times'. I hope he did - in due couse he would marry Elizabeth ETGOOS, the lime-kiln heiress.
Elizabeth ETGOOS was the granddaughter of limeman and property developer Richard EDGOSE (ETGOOS), by 1497 one of the foremost men of the parish. He first appears in the records as fisherman (more likely the owner of a fishing fleet), fined 4d for poaching the bishop's fish in the flooded Marsh in 1481. By his death in 1503 he had a ninety-nine-year lease from the bishop of lands in Limehouse; he ran local lime-kilns and also kilns in Greenwich; chalk for burning was brought up from Kent to his wharf in a boat which he called the Kateryn. He had 2 acres in London Field (formerly Galey's field, west of the church), where gravel was dug for ship's ballast, and 28 acres in the Marsh. He built himself a new house, with a brewerery and four other new houses adjoining it. On the wharf that he had bought from Joan DRYVER, the churchwarden's widow, he erected eight tenements. He also had 50 acres in the Marsh, a farmhouse, a barn and an orchard in Limehouse. His wife Alice was well furnished with jewellery.
When ETGOOS was 'pinched by the messengers of death' he directed that he should be buried before the Pauline cross in the churchyard in the tomb of John and Margaret LASKES. He left a generous corpse present of 20s, and a chantry priest was directed to 'sing for his soul' for two years and get paid 9 marks. If his neighbours were prepared to club together for a communal chantry, the period was to be extended to ten years. The £2 that he left towards the construction of the new Essex sepulchre was given on condition that it be 'began and forthward in makyng' within two years of his death. The limeburner was a businessman who sounds as if he was used to giving orders."

From Jane Cox's "Old East Enders" [ISBN 978 0 7509 5291 0], page 106:
"n the year of [Edward] WARYN's death [1497] there was a major falling out between the people of Bow and the people of Stepney over the status of St. Mary's chapel; it had been brewing for ten years at least. The leading men of both places attended two meetings. Stepney's contingent was lead by Sir Henry COLLET, with limemen Richard DRYVER, Richard EDGOOSE [sic] and Thomas BRETT (BYRTE). There were forty-eight delegates for the mother church, from the hamlets of Stepney, Poplar, 'Lymose', 'Redclyffe', Mile End and 'Bednalgrene' (in that order); the great matter of Bow was clearly something that was taken very seriously, and the 'public meetings' are a measure of the laity's concern with the Church at this time, giving a foretaste of the year's to come."

Richard ETGOOS sold five sacks of lime to the Carpenters' Company in 1503: "Itm pd to Richard ETGOSE for v sakkes lyme xd."
(Carpenters' Company Wardens Accounts Volume 2 1438-1516)

There are extensive references to Richard ETGOOS in 'Medieval London Suburbs' by Kevin McDonnell, principally pages 109-110 which follow:
"Two limeburners have left wills which throw light on the industry. Richard ETGOOS, yeoman, of Limehouse died in 1504. He held a 99-year lease from the Bishop of London and the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's of land and marshland in Limehouse and Stepney Marsh, where he had recently erected his house and other buildings. The house, his chalk-kiln, the wharf ground 'and other necessaries belonging to the said kiln', his chalk boat Katharine and its apparel, were all left to his wife and son John. So were the chalk-kiln and lands in Greenhithe, the four tenements by his dwelling house, the tan-house, the beer-house, the tenements, the wharf, a garden, once John PERCIVAL's on which ETGOOS had built eight new tenements, the land in London Field called the Gravel Pit, and the 32 marsh acres leased out to two butchers. (John SILVESTER and BAXTER).
Richard DRYVER of the parish of St. Dunstan, Stepney, died in 1540 (incorrect, see below). To his son William he left his farm in Northfleet in Kent and the horses and carts there, his unfinished new house in Limehouse with its orchards and garddens, four acres in 'donghill' field, three acres at the Crabtree and a piece of land beyond it, all on condition that William finished the house and allowed another son, George, to live there with him until a second house was ready; he also lefeft to William the house William then lived in. To George he bequeathed his limekilns, chalk, coals, two wharves, two lodges, six horses with all the limesacks, two chakers (chalk-boats), the cart-horses, carts and cart-wear, and the land at the back of the new house. Elizabeth, ETGOOS's wife (incorrect, see below) was to have the timber on the hill and the wharf, with 2,000 rushes,all his kine, the debts due to him from the City and the Tower, his brick-place, with all the bricks and everything else pertaining to it, and the corn in his two closes of wheat. Various tenements, and two small parcels of land, he left to his other sons. His ship was to be sold.
It is clear that these two men were having the chalk brought up to Limehouse from Northfleet or Greenhithe. The horses and carts which DRYVER had in Kent were probably used to take the chalk to the riverside. It was landed on their wharves in Limehouse and transported to the kilns; the lime was finally taken by horse or by cart for sale in London or to the Tower. Both ETGOOS and DRYVER invested their money widely and some of their investments, like ETGOOS's house-building and DRYVER's brick-place, must have involved heavy capital expenditure."

(McDONNELL's errors: Richard DRYVER died in 1549 not 1540. Elizabeth was not ETGOOS's wife, but rather John ETGOOS's daughter and wife of Richard DRYVER).

Mrs. Jane Cox refers to him in her "Tracing Your East End Ancestors":
"Limehouse acquired its name in the fourteenth century.... In the late fifteenth century, Richard ETGOOSE was the chief limeman, although he had started out life as a fisherman. By the time of his death in 1503, he owned the local kilns and also kilns in Greenwich, two wharves, had built some thirteen houses, owned a brewery and 50 acres in the Marsh."
(Page 28, Paragraph 2)

In his will made on 21 September 1503 Richard ETGOOS of Limehouse, Middlesex, refers to his brother Thomas ETGOOS; to his wife Alice; to his eldest son John ETGOOS; to his son William ETGOOS; to his son Richard ETGOOS; to his youngest son John ETGOOS; to his daughter Cristian; and to his cousin Robert MOSELY of Thistilworth (Isleworth). Apart from property in Limehouse he had a chalk kiln at Greenhithe in Kent.

He committed suicide on 5 March 1893, and a report of the inquest appeared on page 5 of the Norfolk Chronicle & Norwich Gazette dated 11 March 1893 as follows:
"ACLE
SAD DEATH OF AN OLD INHABITANT -

A very sad case of suicide occurred in this parish on Sunday morning last. Mr. Richard LEEDER, an old and respected parishioner, who had resided in Acle for more than fifty years, and who only a few years ago retired from the office of postmaster, was found drowned in the water-course known as the landspring-dyke. The old gentleman was seen to leave his home just before eleven and walk in the direction of the New-road. About half-an-hour afterwards one of the allotment holders named Glasspoole noticed a coat and walking stick hanging on the gate alongside the bridge, and suspecting something to be wrong, examined the dyke and found the body lying in about three feet of water only a few yards from the road. He immediately obtained the help of Mr. SMITHDALE, who happened to be near, but on their removing the body, life was found to be extinct. The greatest sorrow and sympathy is felt for the relatives of the deceased, who was universally liked and respected. He had a most genial and happy temperament and the act cannot be explained except on the result of some sudden mental failure. The inquest was held by Mr. CULLY, county coroner, on Monday morning. Nothing transpired which threw any light on the deceaased's motive, and a verdict of temporary insanity was returned. The remains were interred in the parish churchyard at half-past three oclock on Wednesday afternoon. The scene at the graveside was impressive and pathetic. All the blinds along the road leading to to the churchyard were drawn down, and there were many other tokens of esteem for the deceased's long and blameless life, and sorrow for its untimely end.

The Rev. C.G. WYNCHE read the burial service. The coffin was covered with wreaths and crosses, many of them the offering of the poorer villagers, who held the deceased in affectionate regard, and of whom there was a large gathering in the Churchyard. Many influential persons residing in the neighbourhood also attended as a mark of respect".

Will of Richard LEEDER:
"This is the last Will and Testament of me Richard LEEDER of Acle in the County of Norfolk retired Post Master.

RICHARD LEEDER 1842-1883

Richard LEEDER was born at Acle, Norfolk, on 2 September 1841, son of Richard and Elizabeth LEEDER.
(GRO September Q 1841 Blofield 13 24)
Richard LEEDER had married Elizabeth BROWNING at Limpenhoe, Norfolk, on 13 October 1840.

From the 1851 census of The Street, Acle, Norfolk:
Richard LEEDER, head, aged 31, hairdresser, born at Bungay, Suffolk;
Elizabeth LEEDER, wife, aged 29, shoe binder, born at Ramsden, Essex;
*Richard LEEDER, son, aged 9, scholar, born at Acle;
Ellen LEEDER, daughter, aged 4, scholar, born at Acle;
Julia LEEDER, daughter, aged 7 months, born at Acle.
(HO 107/1819/276/4)

Edith Naomi EDGOOSE (1898-1993) described him as a "gentleman's gentleman" by which she presumably meant a butler. He certainly visited Menton in the south of France and travelled up the Nile in Egypt (see letters to his parents).

He wrote to his parents from a boat on the River Nile, Egypt, on 29 December 1874. He appears to have been in the employ of the Hon. H. G. BAXTER.

On 29 August 1876 he presented his father with two books, "Those Holy Fields - Palestine Illustrated by Pen and Pencil" and "The Land of The Pharoahs - Egypt and Sinai Illustrated by Pen and Pencil". Each book was prefaced by an expensively produced bookplate in black and gold (leather?) inscribed "Presented to Mr. Richard LEEDER on his 56th birthday by his son Richard August 29. 1876". These books were treasured enough to be specifically bequeathed to Walter Leeder EDGOOSE in the will of Richard LEEDER senior. They are now (2002) in the possession of Jeremy Lester EDGOOSE.

He married Betsy FERGUSON according to the rites of the Congregational Church at 2 Union Place, Trinity, North Leith, Edinburgh, Scotland, on 26 February 1880. She was 31 years old, gave her usual residence as 2 Union Place, North Leith, and wawas the daughter of John FERGUSON deceased, a master joiner, and Janet FERGUSON his wife, nee MITCHELL. Richard LEEDER described himself as a fruiterer and grocer of 32 Thurlow Place, London, son of Richard LEEDER, a master grocer and draper, and Elizabeth his wife, formerly BROWNING. Witnesses were Alex McINTOSH and Jessie Martha PETERSEN.

From 1881 to 1883 he was a greengrocer and fruiterer at 32 Thurloe Place, South Kensington (Kelly's Post Office Directories). According to the directories William John HAND took over from William WARDER & SONS, fruiters, in 1877. He was replaced by Richard LEEDER in 1881 who was there until BOYALL & MINTON took over in 1884.

From the 1881 Census Return for 32 Thurloe Place, Kensington:
*Richard LEEDER, head, married, aged 39, fruiter, born at Acle, Norfolk;
Betsey [sic] LEEDER, wife, married, aged 32, born at Inchture, Perthshire, Scotland.
(RG11/47/97/5)
Also living at the same address were John SEYMOUR, 46, a butler and domestic servant, his wife Georgiana, 45, and their six year old son John A. SEYMOUR.

He died at Acle on 9 June 1883. On his death certificate he was described as a 42 year old greengrocer. His father was with him when he died.
(GRO 1883 June Q Blofield 4b 143)

On the 19 July 1883 Administration of the Personal Estate of Richard LEEDER late of 35 Queen's Gate Terrace, Kensington in the County of Middlesex, who died 9 June 1883 at Acle in the County of Norfolk, was granted at the Principal Probate Registry to Elizabeth LEEDER of 32 Thurloe Place Kensington, widow the relict.

RICHARD MILES 1732-1781

Richard MILES was baptised at Aldershot, Hampshire, on 1 March 1731/32.

"Early owners of Brookfield House were the Milward family. John Milward, wheelwright, is listed in the Hearth Tax of 1665 as having two hearths and an inventory of the contents shows his house consisted of a chamber over the hall, a milkhouse, a buttery and a second hall, which may indicate the plan of Brookfield House at this time. Between 1758 and 1838 the property was owned by the Miles family and it is thought that the date 1760 inscribed in black brick headers on the front elevation of the house commemorated the marriage between Richard Miles and Elizabeth Cordery at St Peter's Church Yateley."
(English Heritage: List Entry No. 1405941 Brookfield House, Yateley)

"Going further back in time, from 1719 to 1834, the house belonged to wheelwrights called Millard and then their kinsmen, Richard and James MILES. There were Millards in Yateley in the 16th century and the inventory for a house belonging to Robert Milward in 1581 includes a brewing tub and a malt quern and John Millard in 1641 left a malt quern to his son, but as yet we do not know if they lived here.
(Brookfield House by Norma Dowling, May 1997)

Richard MILES carpenter and Elizabeth CORDEROY [sic] were married by licence at Yateley, Hampshire, on 17 January 1760.

He was buried at Yateley, Hampshire, on 9 December 1781. He left a will.
