Tree 17. Descendants of Philip MICHELMORE
(Buckfastleigh 170x)
This is one of four trees originating in Buckfastleigh (Tree 16, 17, 18 and 19). DNA evidence suggests that it shares a common origin with Trees 15 and 18 but says nothing about its relation to Trees 16 and 19. A discussion of possible links between the various early Buckfastleigh trees and subtrees is available here.
In the first five generations of this tree, the eldest son of the eldest son was always called Philip. But then one of them apparently failed to produce a son. The tradition may have started earlier, in which case the first Philip would have been the son of Philip junior [Tree 352], whose father was married in 1707 at Buckfastleigh. The absence of many mid-17th century records prevents any further extrapolation.
This is arguably the wealthiest M*CH*MORE tree. The earliest known members of this tree lived in country houses and often farmed substantial estates, gradually spreading outwards from Buckfastleigh to occupy estates in Staverton, Ashburton, Broadhempston, Berry Pomeroy and Ashprington. They were churchwardens, their daughters married stewards of the great houses owned by the aristocracy, they had their portraits painted, and their memorials were erected in their churches. In the 19th century, many sent their sons to boarding schools and several became solicitors or land agents, settling up practices in Totnes, Newton Abbot and Exeter that still exist today. They were also prominent in public life, with Jeffery John and his son Alfred becoming mayors of Totnes and Henry William and his son William Godwin mayors of Exeter.
A summary of the several solicitor firms and land agencies founded by members of this tree is available here.
The first man to leave Devon was Charles Frederick, who spent some time in London in 1850-1851 and had returned to live there permanently by 1871, and his brother Henry, who emigrated to Canada in 1861 but had returned by 1865. Jeffery Edwards and his brother Philip both moved to London in the early 1880s, and Charles Stuart moved to Bath in the 1880s and then to Wales in the 1900s. Several emigrated to Australia: Charles's wife Sophia and three of her children went to New South Wales in 1876, followed by a fourth child in 1877, and the brothers John Alfred, William Trevoso and Ernest Pitts moved to Queensland between 1886 and 1893. Also, Thomas Wilson moved to New York in 1894 and Mary Kate emigrated to Canada about 1940.

Painsford House today Painsford House is described in White's 1850 Directory as follows: "Painsford, an ancient mansion, on the banks of the river Harbourn, is the seat and property of Mr. Philip Mitchelmore, and has been successively held by the Piperell, Halwill, Somaster, Kellond, Courtenay, and other families. It was formerly much larger than at present and its dilapidated chapel, though disused since the middle of last century, still retains its pulpit, pews, and altar-piece, and has a suit of armour hanging over the communion rails. The left wing of the house has a fine row of arches." (Photo courtesy of Martin KELLOND.)

Thomas may have been in partnership with his brother Jeffery in running the Dart Vale Harriers. Elizabeth [Tree 09] was a servant at Berry Barton, a neighbouring farm, in 1851.
Apparently the Thomases won the 1858 case, since a related account was opened at the Chancery Pay Office on 30Apr1860—presumably from the proceeds of the sale of MUDGE's property in Paignton. Payments were made out of this fund in 19Jan1865 and 18Dec1899, but the account remained open until at least 1923.
In relation to average earnings, Thomas's estate would have been equivalent to about £3,000,000 today.
Altogether, five Totnes MICHELMOREs (Thomas, Charles and his wife Sophia, Jeffery and Henry) were found guilty of bribery in 1867. As a result of this and similar judgements, Totnes was stripped of its parliamentary representation.
In relation to average earnings, Agnes's property would have had an equivalent rentable value of about £33,000 a year today. Her estate would have been equivalent to about £800,000 today. |

The Wills memorial, The plaque reads: "In honor of William John Wills. Native of Totnes. The first with Burke to cross the Australian continent. He perished in returning 28th June 1861. Erected by public subscription. August 1864."
A total of five Totnes MICHELMOREs (Charles and Sophia, Thomas, Jeffery and Henry) were found guilty of bribery in 1867. As a result of this and similar judgements, Totnes was stripped of its parliamentary representation.
Charles' circumstances in his later life suggest that he was unable to get work as a solicitor after the Totnes bribery scandal. In relation to average earnings, his estate would have been equivalent to about £1,000 today.
Sophia
It appears that it was her eldest son Charles who accompanied Sophia to Sydney in 1876. There are records placing him in Australia from 1878, but there are no records at all for his brothers Charles Henry and Charles Frederick Moore in the period 1871-1885.
Three years after Cecilia died, Rev Edwin James STURDER married her cousin Emily.
Charles Frederick must have had an obsession with his first name, naming all four of his sons after himself.
In relation to average earnings, Amy's estate would have been equivalent to about £22,000 today.
A case MICHELMORE vs STUDDY was heard at the High Court of Chancery in 1888. The contents are not known.

Sir John Vanden Bempde JOHNSTONE (1799-1869) was the 2nd Baronet of Hackness. The head of Shrewsbury school in 1851 may have been his son.
The Shrewsbury School records state that Henry later became a Newton Abbot solicitor, but they appear to have confused Henry with his cousin Henry.
In relation to average earnings, Henry's property in 1873 would have an equivalent rentable value of about £25,000 a year today.
The 1876 record might refer to Henry's cousin Henry, who is also known to have played cricket for Totnes.
It would appear that Henry and his family moved to Paignton shortly before he died.
In relation to average earnings, Henry's estate would have been equivalent to about £1,800,000 today.
The business H Michelmore & Co was continued after Henry's death by his wife Mary Ann and his daughter-in-law Edith.
The 1901 census gives Mary's grandsons' surname as MICHELMORE, but the 1911 Irish census shows that the children were her daughter Harriett’s sons Hubert Charles & Henry James FRANKLIN. Mary & her husband were in Ireland on both dates.
In relation to average earnings, Mary Ann's estate would have been equivalent to about £27,000 today.
In relation to average earnings, Annie's estate would have been equivalent to about £600,000 today.
Harriet's husband Wilberforce was a professor of singing.
Maud continued to use her maiden name as a stage name after she married.
A history of the Carl Rosa opera company is available here.

A total of five Totnes MICHELMOREs (Jeffery, Thomas, Charles and his wife Sophia, and Henry) were found guilty of bribery in 1867. As a result of this and similar judgements, Totnes was stripped of its parliamentary representation.
In relation to average earnings, Jeffery's 1873 property would have an equivalent rentable value of about £100,000 a year today.

Henry was one of five Totnes MICHELMOREs who were found guilty of bribery in 1867 (the others being Thomas, Charles and his wife Sophia, and Jeffery). As a result of this and similar judgements, Totnes was stripped of its parliamentary representation.
In relation to average earnings, Henry's property would have an equivalent rentable value of about £120,000 a year today.
Hooper & Michelmore had offices on Market Street, Newton Abbot, from at the latest 1867 until 1879, when the firm became Hacker & Michelmore. The new partner was Sidney HACKER, whose son Norman later also became a partner—until both withdrew in 1917. The successor firm, Harold Michelmore, is still at the same location.
In relation to average earnings, Henry's salary as Clerk of the Peace would have been the equivalent of about £600,000 today.
Exeter Castle in 2008 Exeter Castle (also known as Rougemont Castle) was built by William the Conqueror in 1068. Henry would have worked in the buildings erected on the site in the 18th century (just visible on the photograph), which until recently housed the Devon County Council, county courts and related offices.
In relation to average earnings, Henry's estate would have been equivalent to about £650,000 today. Two obituaries are available here.
Elizabeth's father was a JP, manager of the Exeter branch of the West of England Bank and subsequently a director.
In relation to average earnings, Elizabeth's estate would have been equivalent to about £30,000 today.

The 1877 information, taken from his daughter Ethel's baptism record, must have referred to his wife's residence; Charles would already have been in Australia by that time.
The 1891 and 1901 households presumably included a live-in maid. |

Charles's brother Charles had emigrated to Australia 10 yr earlier.
Charles was secretary to the 1887 election committee of Charles Edward JEANNERET, property developer and later mayor of Hunter’s Hill, who became Charles’s father-in-law the following year.
Presumably, Charles had two female servants in 1891.
The Field of Mars Tramway Committee was set up to promote a tramway through Marsfield, where several of its members had recently purchased land. The Chairman of the committee was Charles’s father-in-law.
Hillgrove was a gold mining town in the Northern Tablelands of New South Wales. Irvinebank was also a mining town.
Ida’s 1921 advertisement states that there were three in her family—presumably herself, her daughter-in-law Margaret (widowed in 1917) and her grandson Douglas @ 4. The house Wybalena was built by Ida’s father in 1895. Ida may have inherited the house when he died in 1898 and then moved there after her husband died.
In relation to average earnings, Ida's estate would have been equivalent to about $1,300,000 today. |

A 1925 account of John's life is available here.
John and Jessie
Michelmore's store in 1901
John’s residence, Homefield, was named after his parents’ farm in Frogmore, Devon.
It appears that the whole family were in England on the occasion of John's father's death on 13Jun1905.
Plane Creek, the original name of Sarina, was where his brother William had settled.
Michelmore & Co's
Michelmore's warehouse shortly before its demolition in 1983
Some of the entries for 1924-1947 may also refer to John’s son John.
The 1925 record is in error: Byerwen was his father-in-law’s residence and a long way from Nebo.
John Alfred
Memorial to John & Jessie
In relation to average earnings, John’s estate would have been worth about ₤4 million today.
Michelmore Street in Paget, Mackay, is presumably named after John.
The admission of Jessie and her daughter Marjory to a quarantine hospital in 1918 was undoubtedly a precaution against the influenza pandemic raging at the time.
The ATHERTON family were among the first settlers of the Sarina area. Further information is available here.
In relation to average earnings, Jane’s estate would have been worth about ₤180,000 today. |

Bill's brother John had settled in Mackay 5 yr earlier, and his brother Ernest settled there 2 yr later.
There is a Michelmore's Hill off Broad Street, on the northern edge of Sarina, presumably near where Woonon Station once was. It was the centre of the original Plane Creek settlement, renamed Sarina in 1907.
After Thomas ATHERTON died, his widow Jane married Bill’s brother John. Thomas's son Edmund was living at Marklands in 1939.
Bill's memorial In relation to average earnings, Bill’s estate would have been equivalent to about ₤300,000 today.
The first name of Diamantina's father was actually Wellmande. Further information is available here. |

The firm Hacker & Michelmore existed between 1880 and 1917, interrupted by a period 1905-1910 as Hacker, Michelmore & Wilkinson.
The firm of Harold Michelmore, solicitors, continued in existence in Newton Abbot until 2011, when its name was changed to Wollen Michelmore. The name is presumably taken from the 1865 firm of Michelmore & Wollen: No WOLLEN is listed as an officer of the new company.
Extracts from Fishing facts and fancies are available here.
In relation to average earnings, Harold's estate would have been equivalent to about £3,000,000 today |

Coxville Zoo was about 20 km north of Austin International Airport. Dorman's son John died in the same crash. It is possible that they were both on their way to a car race in Austin.
The US public records in Dorman's name appear to have been associated with his third wife.
