Note: if you are descended from an Australian Titheradge, and cannot find your family on these trees, it is possible you are descended from Frederick Titheridge who late spelt his name Titheradge. In this case please see Tree 1J at this link.
- Only individuals born before 1918 are included in the interest of privacy. (Individuals born between 1918 and 1967 are shown as unnamed boxes. Individuals born after 1967 are omitted).

The Titheradges from Portsea (Portsmouth)
(This account was updated to reflect current knowledge on 27 June 2020)
It is the Titheradge Family Tree into which we have put most of our effort. We have contacted some 20 family members and with their help, we have managed to construct a family tree of some 582 individuals stretching across 11 generations. Because of the size of the tree, in our written account of the family history, we have had to concentrate mainly on the males, since it is the male line that hands on the name. Despite this large tree we still have a few Titheradge individuals who were born between 1837 and 1948 who remain a mystery and are not attached to the tree.
One common characteristic that we have noticed about nearly every Titheradge that we have contacted is that they do not seem to be very close-knit families. Many people, including Mike before we started this hobby, know very little about other family members and do not keep in touch, other than with their immediate family.
The Titheradge family tree began by Daniel Tytheridge marrying Rebecca Baker in Portsea, Hampshire in 1744. Daniel’s surname is spelt Tytheridge at his wedding, but the spelling varies with the birth of each of his children until finally by the time the grandchildren are producing offspring the name is consistently spelt TITHERADGE. Unfortunately, we know nothing of the origins of Daniel and where he was born remains a mystery, although there is a Daniel born at the right sort of time in Kilmeston – but we have no evidence to link the two. The Titheradges mainly stayed in the Portsmouth area until about 1836 when Henry (born 1808) moved to London. His children, James (born 1830), Edward (born 1832) and Luwish George (born 1842) all produced large families, that went on to establish the Titheradges in the London area. Initially they were living around Kensington, Paddington, and Pancras and later they were also living in West Ham and Walthamstow. While Henry had moved to London his cousins, James Fabian (born 1816) and George Robert (born 1825), stayed in the Portsmouth area, establishing the Titheradge family there.
This updated account contains some corrections we have made to the tree. There are a lot of additions and corrections to George Robert’s family, where new records have come to light, showing there were errors previously.
We have more information on modern Titheradges but in the interest of privacy we have chosen not to publish details of individuals born in the last 100 years.
SUMMARY OF TITHERADGE FAMILY TREE
a. DESCENDANTS OF DANIEL AND REBECCA BAKER
Daniel Tytheridge married Rebecca Baker at Portsea St Mary 6.1.1744. Their marriage produced five children:
John baptised 15.12.1745 at Portsea St Mary
Daniel baptised 28.12.1746 at Portsea St Mary
James baptised 4.12.1748 at Portsea St Mary
Elizabeth baptised 1.09.1751 at Portsea St Mary
Daniel baptised 27.10.1754 at Portsea St Mary
Both the Daniels died young in 1750 and 1756. Daniel senior also died in 1756, while Rebecca died in 1765. We do not know what became of John, but he could be the John who appears in neighbouring Itchen Ferry in Southampton in 1768, although there is a discrepancy in the date of birth, so this cannot be proved.
The third child, James, is the only son to produce children. James married Mary Fabian at Portsea St Mary 30.11.1771, and they produced six children.
Mary baptised 6.09.1772 at Portsea St Mary
Beckey Fabian baptised 17.05.1778 at Portsea St Mary
James Fabian baptised 4.07 1784 at Portsea St Mary
Elizabeth Fabian baptised 4.01.1789 at Portsea St Mary
Lizzy baptised 16.01.1791 at Portsea St Mary
Christopher Fabian baptised 16.12.1792 at Portsea St Mary
Mary’s surname Fabian is given to four of her children and is then passed down for many further generations. Both of the sons produce future generations of Titheradges, with James’s sons producing the line that moves to London (see sections b, c, d, and e) and Christopher’s sons producing the line that mainly stays in the Portsmouth area, or emigrate to Australia (see sections f, g and h).
b. DESCENDANTS OF JAMES FABIAN AND MARY HEATHRELL
On 4.07.1806 James Fabian married Mary Heathrell at Portsmouth St Thomas and they produced seven children.
Henry baptised 3.07.1808 at Portsea St Mary
James Fabian baptised 8.10.1809 at Portsea St Mary
Mary Heatrell baptised 15.11.1812 at Portsea St John
Ann born 1816
Mary born 1821
Joseph Fabian born 5.3.1824 at Alverstoke
Eliza born November 1827
Mary’s surname, Heathrell, is again given to one of the children and is then passed down through Henry’s line to the present day, although there have been many spelling variations over time.
The second son, James, went to America and married Juliann Shoman in Baltimore, Maryland on 23 April 1838. James was a ship’s captain. James and Juliann had 2 daughters, Sarah born 1835 and Amelia born 1844. They also had a son, Joseph, who was born in 1845 and died in Charleston, South Carolina in 1858. James died aged 40 on 14 September 1847 in Philadelphia, USA.
The third son Joseph Fabian moved to Paddington, London and married Mary Frances Hamilton in Paddington St James on 10.02.1856. Joseph was a private in the army, in the 3rd Dragoons and was discharged in 1868. He died in 1871. We know of no further Titheradges by this line.
Henry, the eldest son, married Eliza Jenkins at All Saints Southampton on 27.07.1828. Henry and Eliza had twelve children.
Henry baptised 28.06.1829 at All Saints Southampton

Elizabeth Ann birth registered December Quarter 1844 in Kensington
Frederick birth registered June Quarter 1846 in Kensington
Joseph birth registered December 1847 in Kensington
Henry and Eliza moved around from place to place, presumably in search of employment. This is about the time the railways were being built, therefore people were able to travel around more freely and were also more likely to move to an area like London where there were jobs to be found. In 1829 and 1830 Henry and Eliza lived at 14 Cross Street, Southampton. In 1832 they were in the Landport area of Portsmouth, but by 1834 they had returned to Southampton to 8 Waights Terrace. By 1836 Henry and Eliza had settled at 43 Caroline Place, Bayswater, London and it was here in 1836 that Henry, aged 7, died and was buried at St Mary Paddington Green. Between 1841 and 1856 Henry and Eliza lived at 69 Moscow Road, Bayswater. Henry’s trade was described as a painter, a plumber and a glazier. Henry died in 1857. Eliza was making a living as a shopkeeper in 1861 at 69 Moscow Road, while in 1871 she was at 12 Douglas Place and in 1874 she was a confectioner at 75 Moscow Road. Eliza died in 1875 at Paddington workhouse. Six of Henry and Eliza’s children died in childhood, Henry in 1836, William in 1837, Mary Ann in 1839, John Thomas in 1844, Frederick in 1846 and Joseph in 1848. The other three sons all produced Titheradge family groups (see sections c, d and e).
c. DESCENDANTS OF JAMES AND EMMA MAYOR
James, second son of Henry and Eliza in section (b), was a painter. In 1851 he was living on his own at 2 Chapelside. He married Emma Mayor on 11.07 1852 at St James Paddington. Emma appears to already have a child Rebecca when they got married. James and Emma had four children.

Between 1877 and 1885 he served on numerous ships such as Fishguard, Impregnable, Ganges, Tyne, Victor Emmanuel, Moorhen, Duncan and President.

d. DESCENDANTS OF EDWARD AND ELIZA PETERS
Edward Eatrill, the third son of Henry and Eliza (section b above), was a plumber and painter like his father, although by 1869 he had changed his occupation to a tobacconist. In 1851 he lived in 20 Salem Gardens, Bayswater on his own. He married Eliza Peters on 31.03.1852 at St James Paddington. They had 8 children:
Emma Eliza born 20 September 1852 in Kensington
Sarah Ann born 8 May 1854 in Kensington
Henry John born 7 December 1855 in Kensington
Annie Sophia birth registered September Quarter 1857 in Kensington
Alfred born 3 September 1859 in Kensington
Elizabeth Emma born 17 Jul 1862 in Kensington
Emma Eliza born 11 July 1864 in Kensington
Edward Hetrell born 19 September 1866 in Kensington
Edward and Eliza were at Royal Hill, Paddington in 1855. They then moved near to his mother so that by 1861 they were at 85 Moscow Road, 1869 they were at 69 Moscow Road and from 1871 until 1874 they were at the same address as his mother, at 75 Moscow Road. The eldest daughter, Emma, died in 1859 aged seven. In 1869 tragedy struck the family when their house caught fire and Elizabeth aged 7, Emma aged 5 and Edward aged 3 all died. Edward Eatrill died five years later in 1874.
Alfred was living with his family on the 1861 census, but in the accounts of the fire in 1869 there is no mention of him at all. In the 1871 census he is not at home but appears at Kirby and Darenth Home for Little Boys in Farningham. He then reappears in Paddington on 16 September 1872 when he is admitted to St Matthews School Westminster from previous school at Farningham. Why he went to the home for little boys remains a mystery. In 1881 Alfred married Phoebe Perrett in Paddington. So far, we have failed to find Phoebe’s death or find any record of Alfred or Phoebe emigrating. The next finding of Alfred is in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA in 1888 when he is now married to Elizabeth. Alfred and Elizabeth had at least eight children, all but one died under a year old. The surviving child was Maud born in 1889. Alfred died in Philadelphia 30.04.1902.
Henry John, the eldest son of Edward and Eliza, was a saddler and harness maker. He married Louisa Dennis 31.10.1875 at St James Hampstead. They had 7 children:

Alfred Henry, the younger son, married twice. Alfred Leonard was born to Alfred Henry and Jessie Whorlow in 1912 and he died in 1992 and another son was born to Alfred Henry and his second wife Bertha Cook.
Henry and Louisa’s eldest son, Edward Hetrell, is Mike’s grandfather. He married Rose Warding Moss on 25.12.1898 at St John the Evangelist Kilburn and they produced a large family of nine children:
Harold Edward birth registered June Quarter 1900 in Paddington

They lived in the Walthamstow district of London. Edward Hetrell died in 1942. Edward Hetrell was a compositor, printer and most of Edward’s sons worked in the newspaper industry in Fleet Street. Herbert was a compositor printer, John was a machine minder, and Stanley was a Clerk. Of the nine children only three produced Titheradge offspring, although all did marry. Harold Edward married Dorothy Freeman in 1926 in West Ham. Francis Hetrell married Dorothy Judd in 1929 in West Ham, then married Joan Wren in 1951. John Alfred Henry married Dorothy Howarth in 1929 in West Ham. John and Dorothy had one adopted daughter Barbara who was killed in a bombing raid in 1941.

The youngest of the nine children, Eric Norman (known as Bob), is Mike’s father. He served with the Kings Royal Rifle Corps in the army in World War 2. During the war he saw service in North Africa, Gibraltar, the Normandy landings, Holland and Germany. He met Beatrice Ellen Postle while posted to Morpeth, Northumberland and they married on 13.05.1944. They had two children Robert Edward born 3.9.1947 and Michael both born in Morpeth. Robert (Bob) was divorced and had one son. Bob joined the Fleet Air Arm and trained as an aircraft engineer. After leaving the navy he spent a lot of time as an aircraft engineer working abroad, combining his love of travel with his hobby of sailing. Sadly, he died of cancer in March 1993. Michael (Mike) married Ann Christine Meaker in Newport, Gwent. They have two sons and one daughter, all born in Brighton Sussex. Mike obtained his B.Sc. and Ph. D. in Medical Biochemistry from Birmingham University. He is now retired but was a Lecturer at Sussex University.

He specialised in decorating panels of ornate pianos and gilded frames when there was an exhibition at the Royal Academy of Art. Lewish is a most unusual Christian name, but its origin is unknown. He was apparently proud of his unique name and would say “not Lewis but Lewish spelt with an h and Titheradge spelt with an “r a d”. In the 1861 census he is confusedly referred to as George. According to his daughter, Eliza Jane (known as Jenny Harris after her marriage), Lewish was “an affable, warm-hearted man who spent his money as quickly as he earned it by treating his friends and so in his old age he had nothing left”. Lewish married Sarah Ann Loop 25.12.1862 at St James Westminster. They had eight children:
