30. William PENFOLD [122], son of William PENFOLD [76] and Mary Ann Charlotte GUNN [99], was christened on 4 May 1851 in Hartfield.
31. Mary Ann PENFOLD [123], daughter of William PENFOLD [76] and Mary Ann Charlotte GUNN [99], was born before 7 November 1852.
32. Jane PENFOLD [124], daughter of William PENFOLD [76] and Mary Ann Charlotte GUNN [99], was born in 1854 (approx.) in Lingfield, Surrey. She appeared in the census on 7 April 1861 in Hartfield. 17 The address was: Hartfield Green. On 7 April 1861 she was a Scholar in Hartfield. 17 She died in 1936 in aged 84.
Jane was born in Lingfield, Surrey during 1854 and died in 1936.
"Jane was the third child born to William and Mary Penfold (nee Gunn). She was born in the last quarter of 1853 and the birth was registered in the East Grinstead district of Surrey, and Censuses give her place of birth as Lingfield. Although her parents were living in Hartfield, Sussex, Jane's mother Mary came from Lingfield, and no doubt Mary returned to her parent's home for the birth.
Jane was seven years old at the time of 1861 Census in Hartfield and had two brothers, John 4, and Arthur, 2.
By 1871 she was not at the family home in Hartfield and it is thought she went into domestic service.
In the last quarter of 1873 she married Edward Powell (in the Croydon Registration District). On 1881 Census she is 27, and her husband is 32, a General Labourer from Banbury in Oxfordshire and they are living in Church Street, Benedict Village, Mitcham, Surrey. My mother (Daphne) remembers visiting her at this address probably in the early 1920s. Jane was a very large lady who loved to sing, but never in tune!. Daphne also remembers her visiting the family home in Chapter Street, and then being seen onto the bus for the journey home.
Apparently the family always thought that Jane had a lot of money but none came their way when she died!"(From Diana Smith).

33. John Robert PENFOLD [100], son of William PENFOLD [76] and Mary Ann Charlotte GUNN [99], was born on 12 April 1857 in Hartfield. He was christened on 24 May 1857 in Hartfield. He appeared in the census on 7 April 1861 in Hartfield. 17 The address was: Hartfield Green. On 7 April 1861 he was a Scholar in Hartfield. 17 He appeared in the census on 2 April 1871 in Hartfield. 18 The address was: Hartfield Green. On 2 April 1871 he was a Labourer in Hartfield. 18 He married Mary Jane WILMSHURST [278] on 25 December 1879 in Heathfield, Sussex. He appeared in the census on 3 April 1881 in Mitcham. 38 The address was: Field Gate - Schedule No. 11. He appeared in the census on 5 April 1891 in Chelsea, London. 39 The address was: 25 Queens Road. On 5 April 1891 he was a Boot Maker in Chelsea. 39 He appeared in the census on 31 March 1901 in St. John the Evangelist, Westminster. 40 The address was: 52 Hogarth Bldg. On 31 March 1901 he was a Boot / Shoemaker in St. John the Evangelist. 40 He married Louisa MORFILL [279] on 6 June 1906 in Registry Office, St. Georges, Hanover Square. He died on 15 March 1924 in Charing Cross Hospital, London.
"John Robert was born on 12th April 1857 and was baptised in Hartfield on 24th May 1857. The family attended the Methodist Chapel there with weekly sermons by the Reverend John Lemon. It seems that John's father, William arranged with the local cordwainer to have him trained in the making and repair of footwear.
It is not known whether this was formal apprenticeship, or merely a friendly arrangement. The 1871 Census lists him at the age of 13 in Hartfield as Labourer.
John married at the age of 21 to Mary Jane Wilmshurst aged 22.
Her father was a farmer at Milsham Farm, Heathfield. They married at the Independent Chapel, Heathfield, and the Reverend John Lemon conducted the ceremony. Frederick Charles Pinniger and Ellen Wilmshurst were witnesses to the marriage. Apparently John would walk from Hartfield, approximately 20 miles to Heathfield each Sunday to meet Mary.
They moved to Field Gate, Mitcham, Surrey, the same year their first son, Frederick William, was born there on 8th December 1879.
They then took over a shop in Queen's Road, Chelsea. Their second son Arthur was born on 24th November 1883, in a house, several doors from their shop. It is not known why he was not born at the home address.
The shop was the centre of the family life. John took orders for boots and shoes and made them himself whilst repairs were done by an assistant.
A third son Charles Edward was born on 1st December 1885. At the beginning of 1886 John Robert's mother died. It is assumed that she was living with John and the family as the Registration of the Death was in Chelsea. She had obviously come up from Hartfield at some stage either because she was unwell or to help look after the children.
A daughter, Mary Jane, was born on 16th March 1888 and another daughter Mabel was born on 11th November 1890. The 1891 Census lists them at 25 Queens Road and Mabel is 4 months old. Sarah Wilmshurst, John Robert's mother in law was living with them too at this time.
All five children in turn went to the Christ Church National School, Chelsea. It was unfortunate that Fred, who had been selected for further education at the United Westminster Schools, had to leave within a few months to assist his mother with the business, as John Robert had a severe attack of rheumatic fever and several weeks elapsed before he was able to get about again. The doctor's opinion was that he should give up the business after a serious breakdown, and should seek a gradual return to full health in some open-air means of employment. Hence the shop was sold and the family moved. John Robert bought an insurance round, which brought in a small income and Fred found a job in Victoria Street, which brought in a little more money. This all occurred in 1895/6. John Robert set up a shed and bench in the yard of the house in West Chelsea, where he could perform light work.
Charles and the girls were taken in as new pupils at Ashburnham Road School, but after 18 months another move was made to 48 Rosenau Road, Battersea, but only for a short while.
John Robert had been elected as one of the six Labour members returned for the St. John Ward to Westminster City Council on Monday 9th November 1903 and he served for three years until November 1906.
During the 1900s, John's wife Mary Jane's health began to deteriorate, and she died on 29th January 1905 at the London County Asylum, Dartford, Kent.
By now the family had left the Battersea home and had become the first tenants of a flat on the fourth floor of 52 Hogarth Building, Millbank Estate.
John Robert had been running the footwear department of the Co-operative Brotherhood Trust, a store in Clerkenwell, but he now felt well enough to resume shopwork and a few printed cards announcing the opening of the shop advertised it to many on the estate. The shop was just around the corner in Chapter Street and was very convenient.
John married for the second time, Louisa Morfill, a widow, on the June 1906 at The Register Office, St. George Hanover Square. May Eliza Morfill, a daughter from Louisa's first marriage, and Frederick William Penfold were witnesses. Louisa ran a Sweet Shop in Rampayne Street, Westminster, but they lived in Lupus Street.
John Robert died on 15th March 1924 of Endocarditis and Multiple Emboli aged 66 years at Charing Cross Hospital. He was buried at Mitcham Old Churchyard where Lord Snell conducted a short meeting in the chapel prior to the interment. He is buried in unconsecrated ground with his sister, Jane and his daughter, Mabel." (From Diana Smith)
"We much regret to have to announce the death of Mr. John Robert Penfold, a well known local Labour leader and worker in Westminster for the past 30 years. Mr. Penfold passed away on Saturday last after a very brief illness. He was at one time a member of the Westminster City Council, representing the St. John's ward, in which he lived and worked as a shoemaker. There was no mistaking Mr. Penfold's zeal for the betterment of the working-classes; nor was it possible to question his rigid honesty and desire to "play the game." He had read widely, and was an interesting conversationalist. Ever ready to give a political opponent credit for the best of motives, he would plunge eagerly into an argument at any moment, and he was so original - often quaintly - that it was always delightful to listen to him. The writer had a talk with him a few weeks back, and he was profoundly thankful that he had lived long enough to see a Labour Government. And he was full of ambitious schemes for the future welfare of Westminster - from his own party point of view." (From the Westminster and Pimlico News, March 21, 1924 supplied by Diana Smith).
Mary Jane WILMSHURST [278], daughter of ? WILMSHURST ( - ) [956] and Sarah (1823?-1904) [955], was born on 1 May 1856 in Heathfield.

He died on 7th April 1901 at Fulham Infirmary from Cerebral Haemorrage/Coma. His occupation is given as House Painter (Journeyman) of 2 Seagrave Road, Fulham. His brother John Robert registered the death on 10th April 1901.
According to family hearsay Fredrick William had left the family at some stage prior to his death and Harriet, his wife, could not keep the family together and it seems that her son George was put into a Barnardo’s Home and sent to Canada in 1899 at the age of 10. (See entry written by him in the book entitled ‘The Home Children’). His sister Harriet did not go to Canada as she was 15 years old and had gone into service.
Their daughter Grace later preceded her mother Harriett to Canada and Harriett herself went to Bracebridge, Ontario, via Quebec, having travelled steerage from Liverpool in 1910. She seems to have left Fred, who was 14, in England but took Bert who was a couple of years younger with her. Fred stayed with Mary Jane Penfold at the Chapter Street flat in Westminster and attended Millbank School. He subsequently went to Canada, joined Harriett and Bert where he found employment.
Their oldest daughter Harriett, known as Hetty, became Mrs. Ward, had five children and remained in England” (From Diana Smith).

“Charles was reputed to be a devoted and abstemious family man who worked as a poorly paid post office sorter and supplemented the family income by repairing footwear in the evenings, often working into the night. He liked to keep the family well fed, and did much of the shopping himself. He and his wife were highly principled, and imbued their children with a kind of Christian socialist outlook (for want of a better term) but without priggishness and, so far as I can judge, without any strong affiliation with organized religion” (Letters from Peter Reich 2000, via Julie Hughes-Owen).
