Narrative and Notes

Esther Elizabeth 'Lizzie' Garner was born on 30th May 1871 in Hinckley.

She was interested in nursing and was awarded a certificate by the St. Johns Ambulance Brigade. She worked for a while at Queen Charlotte's Hospital in London, which is probably where she trained to become a midwife.

Later, when she was qualified, she used to stay with various families, during the period of the wife's confinement. It was when she was at Mrs Hodgets at Stoke Court, Bromsgrove, that she met William Edward Weaver.

Esther and William were married at Hinckley on 13th April 1903 at Holy Trinity Church, Hinckley, the church closely associated with the Garner family. In 1906, their eldest son, 'Laddie', was photographed at the laying of the foundation stone for the new church.

Although a resident of Bromsgrove for only eight years, Elizabeth Esther Weaver had won the esteem of all whom she had met and as an earnest worker in the affairs of the Church of All Saints', where her husband was Vicar's Warden, she achieved a very wide measure of respect. She also interested hereself in other purposeful work such as the Bromsgrove Nursing Association and the British Womens Temperance Association, and in all she undertook thoroughness and sympathetic nature won for her a well deserved popularity.

Lizzie became ill just before her son Ralph was born in July 1911, and she died of consumption only two months later. She was likely buried in Bromsgrove Cemetery. William WEAVER bought grave space 413 letter I for £2 8s in October 1911 (although July is written then crossed out on the certificate).

SUDDEN DEATH OF A HINKLEY BUILDER

INQUEST AND VERDICT

It is our painful duty this week to chronicle the death of Mr. John Garner, carpenter and builder, Trinity Lane, which took place very suddenly on Sunday afternoon. As deceased was well known, not only in the town, but also throughout a large area of the surrounding district, the news of his demise will be received with profound regret.

Deceased was by trade a carpenter, and he also undertook building, having erected a goodly number of houses in the locality of Trinity Lane the whole work of which he superintended and carried out by his own workmen. Mr. Garner was apprenticed to Mr. Flavell, and after working his apprenticeship for many years worked for the firm of Messrs T. and G. Harrold. He was industrious and known to be a man of strict business habits. As is well known, the deceased was closely associated with the temperance movement in the town. He generally attended the meetings of the association, and on one or two occasions at the local licensing courts presented petitions in opposition to the granting of new applications. For many years Mr. Garner was a diligent director of the Hinckley Permanent Benefit Building Society, and in this capacity rendered signal help to the society. He also took a prominent part in establishing the coffee house (managed by the Hinckley Coffee and Cocoa House Co.) over a quarter of a century ago, and has since been a director of the concern. In creed Mr. Garner was a staunch churchman, and was a constant worshipper at the Parish Church of Holy Trinity. It may be mentioned that in connection with this place of worship he acted for many years as one of the wardens, besides being connected with other movements organised in connection with the church.

THE INQUEST on the body was held at the Union Hotel on Monday. Elizabeth E. Garner was the first witness called. She said the deceased was her father and was about 61 years of age. She identified the body. Deceased was a carpenter and builder, and died on Sunday afternoon. Deceased seemed quite as well as usual. After tea on Sunday he went into the front room and sat down on a chair. Witness was in the same room with him. About half-past five she noticed deceased to turn very pale; he gave two or three deep sighs, and then lay back in the chair. Witness went to him at once. She did not think he was dead then, as he was breathing a little. They sent for Dr. Hall immediately, but before the doctor arrived her father was dead. Deceased had never been poorly and she was not aware that he had ever suffered from his heart, as he had not complained of it. He had not been seen by a doctor for the last two years. Deceased had worked a little of late; he had been doing a bit of painting, but witness did not think he had been working harder than usual.

Dr. Hall stated that he saw deceased a short time ago, and he then appeared well. The cause of death was syncope.

34 - Email from Alan Eatwell
Author: Alan Eatwell - Grandson of Gladys Garner

In 1997 a man named Alan Eatwell sent me an e-mail regarding his

Garner ancestors. Here is what he had to say:

"My grandmother was Gladys Esther Garner (1896-1978). Her father was

Thomas Garner (1864-1934) and married Barbara Green in 1889. He was

born in Burbage. The family then moved to Hinckley (2 miles away).

Thomas' father was John Garner (b. 1839) who married Esther Bailey in

1862. His father was Timothy Garner, who married Mary Leigh.

It may interest you that my great uncle John Bailey Garner was a major

in the Royal Leicestershire Regiment and my g great uncle Willoughby

Garner was the Colonel of the Regiment around the beginning of WW1.

My family still live in Burbage." - Alan Eatwell

36 - Obituary for William Edward Weaver

THE LATE MR. W. E. WEAVER

SENIOR COURT LEET JUROR

A well-known Bromsgrove personality, and a member of one of the oldest families in the town, Mr William Edward Weaver, died in the General Hospital, Bromsgrove, on Firday, at the age of 91. Mr Weaver was the senior member of the Bromsgrove Court Leet, having been a juror for 57 years, and he had outlived almost all fellow tradesmen in the town amongst whom he had moved when a builder in business in Birmingham Road.

Mr Weaver was a son of Mr William Weaver, who founded the business that is now carried on from the premises between the Strand and the Alcester Road. The original builders' yard was in the Stourbridge Road, opposite what is now Parkside School, but this site was sold to the Shropshire, Staffordshire and Worcestershire Power Company to accommodate their showroom and depot more than 20 years ago. Mr William Weaver carried on business in various partnerships before he set up his own. He was associated successively with Mr Jonathon Brazier and Mr Joseph Tilt, and he a part in the erection of several of the principal buildings of the town including the Secondary School, the Library and Stourbridge Road Schools. He was later joined by his son, Mr William E Weaver, and the latter succeeded him, eventually handing over control to his elder son, Mr W.J. Weaver.

The late Mr Weaver will be best remembered because of a long family association with the Court Leet. His father was Bailiff in 1884, he held the principal office in 1936 and Mr W.J. Weaver, now the Marshal, was Bailiff ten years ago. A brother, Mr J.S.Weaver, was Bailiff in 1921-22, and a brother in law Mr T.W. Guest in 1922-23. Mr Weaver also had a long association with All Saints' Church and served for two periods separated by more than a quarter of a century, as church warden. He was first warden to the Rev F.L.Milward, 1905-13 and later to the Rev E Lumley 1939-46. For a period he was a member of the council of the Midland Federation of Building Trade Employers. Mr Weaver took a keen interest in all local affairs and particularly sport for both his sons played for the Town Rugby Football Club and he was keen on the game of bowls.

He was twice married, the first time in 1903 to Miss Esther Elizabeth Garner, of Hinckley. She died in 1911 and two years later he married Miss Lily Pickering. She died in January 1931, and subsequently Mr Weaver gave up his residence at Ambleside, Stourbridge Road, Bromsgrove, which had been his home for almost 30 years.

Latterly he had been a petient at the General Hospital, and until two years ago he made an annual appearance on Midsummer Day to greet his fellow members of the Court Leet as they marched in procession up the Birmingham Road to open the Horse Fair at Burcot Lane.

There survive two sons, Mr W.J Weaver of Lickey End and R.W.Weaver, of Old Birmingham Road, Marlbrook and five grandchildren.

The funeral took place at All Saints' Church on Monday.
