Sanitary Inspector "The Good Officer" (Article by Sandra Hurlock)

"The eldest son of George and Charlotte. As an adult, he gave his birthplace as Hoxton on one census return and as Hackney on three others but it was most likely the Hackney Road area. By the time he was four the family had moved to Deptford, then Kent/Surrey, where he grew up.

"What occupation he followed before 1856 is unknown but in that year he was appointed by the Limehouse District Board of Works to be a Street Inspector/Inspector of Nuisances, at the salary of £1.10s 0d a week. He was to remain doing this work and living in Limehouse for the rest of his life.

"On 1st October 1856 however, he was in Shoreditch at St. Leonard's again, to marry Ann Clapson, the daughter of William Clapson and Mary Diplock. Ann was born c 1829 at Riverhead, Sevenoaks, Kent but in 1856 had a Shoreditch address and the occupation of "druggist". her father's occupation was given as "Police Sergeant", and unlike George Hurlock Senior, he was traced to the Metropolitan Police. However, he seems to have left the Force under a cloud some years prior to the marriage. The witnesses at the wedding were Emily Hurlock, George Edmund's sister, and Walter Burgin, who was to be a colleague and friend of his for many years.

"Ann and George began their married life at Dudley Terrace, Limehouse. They were eventually to have eight children, beginning with Miriam, born in November 1857, and they moved house within Limehouse many times, living for various periods in Rhodeswell Road, Henry Street, Clemence Street, Aston Street and finally at 35 Locksley Street. It was said by their Scottish daughter-in-law Mary that if one visited them the only place to go for a walk was round the churchyard. Presumably the canalside and waterfront in that area were considered too rough, especially by those who had become used to the genteel purlieus of Chiswick. George was continuing a tradition of "policing"-type work begun by his grandfather at Billingsgate and exemplified by his father on the railway. For in 1856 Inspectors of Nuisances were a new and most personal layer of authority set over the lives of the "poor and huddled masses", although with their best interests at heart [!].

"As the population of London had grown and grown throughout the nineteenth century so the overcrowding and unhealthy living conditons had become ever worse. The 1848 Report by Hector Green on the Bethnal Green area, quoted in the chapter on Michael Hurlock, was just one of many. Medical men, Poor Law Commisioners, journalists and social reformers had presented reports and published papers in England in 1832. Water supplies, drains and sewereage were their main concerns but they included the overcrowding of dwellings and domestic cleanliness among their targets.".

On 1861 census, is shown as living with parents, George and Charlotte, + sister Charlotte in Deptford. Her age is given as 23 and she is unmarried. Charlotte's age is given as 16. It is in this census that her father's occupation is given as "Railway Constable".

On 1871 census, is living in Deptford St. Paul

Emily Williams c. 1843 (head)

In this same 1871 census Emily's parents George and Charlotte are living with their son and daughter William (future mayor of St. Albans) and daughter Charlotte, + Emily's own daughter Emily C Williams.

William H Carpenter (son) aged 22 Boot/shoe salesman
Alfred I Carpenter (son) aged 20 Budget (?) clerk

The birthplace of the three sons is given as Camberwell.

 

Quite possibly known as "Onez".

 

Emily (possibly known as Onez) was an interesting character who married twice, to Chas. Williams and then to James Carpenter. She had two children with Chas. and three with James. At the age of 15 she was apprenticed to a dressmaker, but it is doubtful whether she ever practised professionally. Apparently, she recalled walking to work in her brother's [William's] shops in Walwroth Road from the family home in Deptford.

Emily's early life seems to have been rather a chequered one. Both sons she had with James Carpenter died in France - Ivanhoe in 1916 and his elder brother, James Jr., in 1917. But the latter had married Hilda Shries and there were two sons of this marriage to sonsole Hilda and family. One of these was the late Edgar Carpenter.

It is not known what happened to Emily's first husband, but Emily definitely lied about her age at the time of her second marriage; the missing five or so years was discretely made up over the next 30 years or so - who knows whether the lie was really necessary to get Emily her second husband?!?

".....[had a] thriving business at Walworth Road, Elephant and Castle, comprising many shops on both sides of the road being drapers, gents' outfitters, furniture, boots and shoes, etc. and well known as Hurlocks, Elephant and Castle." - Edgar White.

 

He became Mayor of St. Albans. During the Boer War, being a staunch liberal, he spoke against the War and the local mobs broke all the windows in Ver House, his house in St. Albans.

 

By repute, employed most of his family in the business "Hurlocks" which he built up on Walworth Road. Made enough money to "move out" and had a house built in St. Albans, where he became mayor. Apparently, he outlived most of his children, some of whom had various problems, including drink-related ones.

Typed pages by Edgar White about the family and circulated amongst some relatives:

"My mother's parents by Edgar White [and, handwritten by Iris Wilson: "Grandson of Charlotte, Onez' sister"]

"Grandpa William Hurlock, I remember well as a tall very handsome man with a white flowing beard who lived at St. Albans and was the founder of the thriving business at Walworth Road, Elephant and Castle, comprising many shops on both sides of the road being drapers, gents' outfitters, furniture, boots and shoes, etc. and well known as Hurlocks, Elephant and Castle [Was Edgar mistaken in confusing Grandpa William (= George William who married Charlotte Hodsell) with William, the son who, according to most accounts, was the founder of Hurlocks and went to live in St. Albans?? PW]

"Grandma William Hurlock (nee Hodsell), I can remember seeing only once when I was very young, she was connected with the Banking House of Hodsell's, Lombard Street, City, which bank was merged with one of the 5 big group, and I think was the Westminster Bank. The Hodsell family home was known as the Rookery, St. Mary Cray, Kent. It had been a stately pile and the last occupier was Matilda Hodsell. I remember driving my sister Kate and her 2 children down to see the place over 30 years ago as it was being dismantled and we walked about the drawing room which had been very ornate and of immense size: the grounds covering many acres were already marked out with roads and a large building estate commenced.

"My maternal grandparents had 4 children: William, George, Emily and Charlotte, the latter being my own mother. Aunt Emily my mother's sister married Chas. Williams and had two children, one being a daughter Emily who married George Waller and had a numerous family. Emily was very beautiful and known as the Belle of Camberwell and her eldest son, Albert Waller, is the only one I now keep in touch with in Worthing. William carried on the family business and lived at Ver House, Holywell Hill, St. Albans (now a guest house) the river Ver passed through the centre of his beautiful gounds where I have seen him catch some fine trout of an evening. The grounds also contained a fine covered swimming bath with palms and marble statuary and a belfry with a fine peal of bells. Uncle William married Aunt Susan and had five children, William, Walter, George, Fred and Tottie. Walter married and lived at Little Missenden, Fred married and lived at Clock House, Horley. William had a family, one of whom was very successful in business, maker of the A.C. cars and the famous Cobra cars and died this year at his fine home, the Manor House, Thames Ditton. On the wall of the Manor House hangs a life size painting of Uncle William in the robes as Mayor and life Alderman of St. Albans. I remember that during the Boer War, my Uncle being a staunch liberal, spoke against the War and the local mobs broke all the windows in Ver House. I also remember that in the drawing room there stood an easel on which was set out the family tree, showing that the Hurlocks through the Hodsells claimed descent from John Hampden who resisted Charles I over Ship Money. His monument stands in Aylesbury Square and his motto was "Nulla Vestigia Retrosum" (no turning back). I am not aware John Hampden married one of the King's sisters, but I must look in the library at Oxted and see if this was so. I omitted to mention during our visit to the Rookery, St. Mary Cray, we went into the church opposite to view the large Hodsell family pew and the memorial tablets on the wall.

"My Father's Parents

"Grandma White (nee Bloomfield). School Mistress, very strict. Grandpa White died when my Father was 14; they had 4 children, Uncle Jack in Australia, Aunts Mary and Sophie Bloomfield spinsters, whom I sometimes saw as a child in their home at Kennington Park. I understand the Bloomfield family originated from Ireland and were connected by marriage with Ralph de Pomeroy of Pomeroy Abbey in Devon which property the Duke of Somerset seized. A picture of Pomeroy Abbey, until recently, hung on the wall of my eldest brother, Ernest's home, and my Father's homes were always called Pomeroy. Several of our family, including my parents, have visited Pomeroy which is a very attractive ruin and the Duke of Somerset's crest is to be seen carved in stone over the main entrance. All I know about my Grandfather is the following:

"He went to school with Sir Henry Doulton and was a partner in the well know firm of Doulton's Potteries, still on the Thames Embankment close to Lambeth Palace. He later separated from Doultons and started a pottery at Burslem Staffs. and through overwork dies when my Father was only 14 years of age adn my Father worked to help support the family. My father's sisters (2) were my Aunt Annie who married Uncle Jack Spratt, had one son Charlie, lived at Loughborough Park, Brixton. Jack Spratt was one of the managers of Cubitts the builders in Grays Inn Road, now Cubitts Holland & Hannen; he was there for 60 years and Charlie, his son, eventually had his Father's position in the same firm until he died. Charlie was married, had one son, Reggie, and lived at Stevenage, Herts. My Father's younger sister married Uncle Willie Oxenford, lived at Forest Hill and were childless. He was Chief Examiner of Wills and Probate at Somerset House, Strand, London. As a child I often enjoyed the pleasure of staying with them.

"My father, with his Mother and two sisters, moved to London and settled in S.E. district.

"Chas. Haddon Spurgeon, the well known Baptist Minister, was attracting huge congregations at what is now know as Spurgeons Tabernacle and my Father and Mother, as well as my Oxenford relations, regularly met there.

"My Father married Charlotte Catherine Hurlock, after marriage started their home in St. Albans where my eldest sister, Kate, was born, and where my Mother's Parents lived next door. The Hurlock family lived at Ver House, St. Albans. My father, not liking the daily journey moved to London, and bought a house in Cuthill Road, Love Lane, Denmark Hill, where I was born in 1879 and, curiously enough, I was asked to investigate the bomb damage there after the last War and standing in the breakfast room mentioned to the present tenant that I was born in the room above, to which the lady replied she was born there also. My father now became manager of F. and C. Braby and Co., Belvedere Road, Lambeth, Builders Merchants, prior to starting on his own account as T.H. White & Co. He bought a house in Brixton, which was called St. Albans.

"My Parents later on moved to Pomeroy, Clapham Park, eventually moving from Streatham to a house he bought and named Pomeroy in Worthing, where they eventually died. My father born September 24th 1850 died January 29th 1937, My mother born January 23rd 1845 and died December 4th 1936.".
