• Notes

  Richard Craven GARNETT, Clerk in Holy Orders for more than 49 years, was born at 5:15 pm on February 18, 1843---the first child of John Jasper GARNETT [q.v. #16] and Ann ACTON [q.v. #17]. At the time of Richard Craven Garnett's birth, his father John Jasper was farming the estate at Stoke Hall Manor, which had been inherited by John Jasper's mother, Elizabeth Craven Garnett [q.v. #33] from her father Richard Craven upon his death in 1804. Richard's sister Elizabeth Ann ("Lizzie") was born in 1844, followed closely by his brother George in 1845. Just three years later, their mother Ann (Acton) Garnett died of consumption on November 6, 1848 at the age of only 30 years. Richard was only 5 years old at the time. Following the death of his wife Ann, John Jasper took the three young children to live for a while with their grandmother Elizabeth Craven Garnett at Sweetbriar Hall on Hospital Street, Nantwich. A governess, Sarah Charlton was retained to look after the children. In 1851, grandmother Elizabeth also died (age 73) and afterwards John Jasper and the children went to live in Madeira, Spain. Richard's bother George later recounts in his family journal that they travelled to Spain on a brig called Comet Captive Earth and the voyage took 17 days. The children's governess, Miss Major, died in Madeira and was replaced by a new one sent out from England---Mary Elizabeth Pankhurst, who became a "regular nuisance" to the children as well as a paramour to both John Jasper Garnett and later to the children's cousin, John Edward Richardson (from whom she swindled large sums of money and property). Around 1855, the family returned from Spain and rented a house in the Welsh Row, Nantwich. Their great aunt, Ann Kent also died at this point and so John Jasper and the family took over a small farm house on the Stoke property, called Stoke Bank. Richard was sent off for tutoring at Mr. Grosvenor's boarding school. He went on to study at Trinity College, Cambridge where he received a B.A. in 1866 and and M.A. in 1869.
