Narrative and Notes

John Garner was born in June 1839, and was apprenticed to a Mr. George Flavell as a carpenter, before working for Messrs. T. and G. Harrold.

In 1861 he was living in Trinity Lane as was Esther BAILEY whom he married some time after that census. (There were only seven houses between them on the census form.) No marriage certificate has been found.

He and Esther had five children: Arthur, Esther Elizabeth (Lizzie), Willoughby ('Wink'), Thomas (Tom) and John Weldon. His second wife was Elizabeth PICKERING. The photograph, taken about 1880, shows him standing beside his first wife, who had very similar features to her mother who was photographed in the 1860's, and also to her daughter Lizzie.

Willoughby may have been named for Willoughby BALFOUR, Rector of Burbage who signed his apprenticeship papers, but may have been an early mentor.

John was a staunch churchman, and closely associated with Holy Trinity Church, Hinckley. He also belonged to the temperance movement, and helped establish and manage a coffee house. On his daughter's (Esther Elizabeth) birth certificate he is described as a 'Carpenter journeyman' and was living at Rugby Road, Hinckley, but later formed his own business as a carpenter and builder operating from his home in Trinity Lane, Hinckley, Leicestershire.

John Garner died on 28th April 1901 at his home at 1 Chessher St, Hinckley from syncope (heart failure). His second wife Elizabeth, who was also closely associated with Holy Trinity Church, died on 16th April 1915, aged 76.

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.

On Easter Monday at Holy Trinity Church, Hinkley, Miss E. Garner, only daughter of the late Mr. John Garner, builder of Hinkley, was married to Mr. W. Weaver, builder and contractor of The Strand, Bromsgrove. The Rev C Davies officiated.
The bride wore a very pretty blue dress and carried a trailing bouquet of choice white flowers. Miss Ada Flavell and Miss Elsie Garner (niece), who acted as bridesmaids, also had very preety bouquets, and wore gold bracelets, the gifts of the bridegroom. The bride was given away by her brother, Mr. T. Garner, and Mr. Weaver was attended by his brother, Mr. J. T. Weaver, as best man. A very pretty scene was witnessed after the bride and bridegroom left the vestry, when Master Boyd Weaver and Miss Gladys Garner, who were dressed in white, went in front of the newly-married couple and threw flowers in their path, while outside the Church they were received with showers of confetti.
The ceremony was witnessed by a great many friends, the Church being nearly full. Amongst those present were noticed Mr. and Mrs. Willoughby Garner and Miss Margery Garner, Mrs. T. Garner, Mrs J Weaver and Master Boyd Weaver (Bromsgrove), Mr. and Mrs. T. Guest (Droitwich), Mrs Boulton Brooks, Mrs Flavell, Mrs C Davies, Mrs R.E.Hill, Misses Pickering, etc., etc.

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. The funeral of the deceased took place on Wednesday afternoon at Bromsgrove Cemetery. The burial service aws conducted at All Saints' Church, by the Rev. F.L. Milward (Vicar) and the Rev. H. J. Woodman (Curate). There was a large congregation. As the procession entered the church, the organist played "O Rest in the Lord".

DEATH OF MRS JOHN GARNER
Another old inhabitant of the town passed away on Friday last (16th April 1915, Elizabeth, aged 76), in the person of Mrs John Garner, builder and contractor, of Hinkley. Mrs Garner had suffered an illness of nearly four years being seized with a paralytic stroke, which deprived her of the use of her limbs and speech, and rendered her an invalid since that unfortunate happening. She was predeceased by her husband some 14 years, and both before and after his decease, Mrs Garner took a very active interest in the church work of Holy Trinity parish, and was a very energetic member of the working parties of the parish, which did so much to raise funds for the building of the new church. She had no children, but she most unselfishly devoted much care, attention and kindly feeling towards the three step-children. The funeral took place at Hinkley cemetery on Monday. The body was first conveyed to the precincts of Holy Trinity church, which she has worked for so well. The organist and the choir, were in attendance, and rendered most beautifully the choral portion of the service. The hymns were "Christ will gather in his own" and "Now the labourer's task is o'er". The mourners were Mrs. B. Brooks (sister), Mrs. William Flavell (sister), Mr. T. Garner, Mr. Willoughby Garner (stepsons), Mr W. Weaver (son-in-law)......Mr. A. Pickering, Mr. J. Pickering (Bromsgrove), nephews of the deceased. The wreaths included the following:- "Lill and Will" (Bromsgrove); "William (Laddie) and Ralph, to dear Grandma"; Mr. and Mrs. Willoughby Garner (Ealing) "in loving memory to a mother who always did her best".

50 - 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
