The one who has been left out was Rhoda, 1720-1788 who married Roger Anketell, 1715-1782 of Dernamuck, Co. Monaghan. They had a numerous family: Rev. John, 1744-1824, William, 1751-1828, Oliver, 1756-1835, Thomas, 1758, Roger, 1762-1839 & 3 daughters, Mary, Matilda & Rhoda.

Eliza was sent home to Essex in disgrace and gave birth to my grandfather, Andrew Henry Champness, who was brought up in London. In the 1960s I visited Glyde Court with my parents and met Mrs May and her husband who were living in the servants' quarters. The rest of the house was closed up. I went again with my husband in 2004, but the road was closed. Rumour has it that the younger son of the house may have been my great-grandfather, but who knows. Apparently, he died in a riding accident.EVWAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13051208654285987014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705771450596300887.post-82256211708085606332015-05-11T20:15:24.308+01:002015-05-11T20:15:24.308+01:00There appears to be no explanation as to how or wh...There appears to be no explanation as to how or why the house fell into such rapid and total dereliction within a relatively short space of time. There is no information and no mention of what must have been a considerable amount of "good" furniture which must have been sold. Does anyone know why? Someone must have inherited the estate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705771450596300887.post-44497266216808159302014-11-15T00:07:10.547+00:002014-11-15T00:07:10.547+00:00According to Debrett´s Peerage & Baronetage (1...According to Debrett´s Peerage & Baronetage (1980 edition), Glyde Court was lived in as late as 1979 by Mrs Dorothy Elizabeth Charlotte Vere May, née Foster, the surviving daughter of Sir Augustus Vere Foster, 4th and last Baronet. She was married to Lt-Col. Arthur Charles William May, a kinsman of the Earl of Ellesmere, who was apparently living in 1979. The couple was childless. The only now living Foster relatives that I know of are the several descendants of the sister of the 4th Baronet, who according to Debrett´s was still living in 1979.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705771450596300887.post-49543283192696128982013-04-16T08:52:28.256+01:002013-04-16T08:52:28.256+01:00One of this family was Vere Foster the educational...One of this family was Vere Foster the educationalist.
