The RISING Family |
HorseyVillage
There were 7 children in the RISING family:
In 1803 Robert purchased the Horsey Estate from Sir G.B. Brograve and others, when it was of little value, being generally flooded. By repairing the sea-bank, draining the marshes, planting quickthorn hedges, and making a road to Somerton, he rendered it one of the most fertile estates in the county. In 1800 Robert married Mary PRESTON (b.1776; d.1862), and had 4 children:
in 1830 Robert married Elizabeth PARISH (b.1807; d.1882) and had 6 children:
The following information regarding Capt. Charles Compton RISING, kindly given by Tony Seymour, one of his descendants:
Capt CC Rising married Catherine Ursula
Reynard of Sunderlandwick Yorks 1874 ,they had one son Francis
Simon Rising b Peterborough 1878. Francis Simon became a
Commander RN then to Southern Nigeria with the Foreign Office as
District Commissioner. He died in Bath 1945, never having been
married.
On to Capt CC Rising, His wife Catherine
Ursula died Horsey 1890 I believe in the December. As you are
probably aware there is a window to her memory in the Parish
Church.
Not long after the death of his wife, Capt CC took
up with the wife of Jonathon Gedge, the Millman. This lady is my
Great Grand Mother Ellen. She was born Ellen Seymour in
Littler Munden, Herts 20th Jan 1859 and married John Gedge
at Horsey 23rd March 1880, John and Ellen had two sons b Horsey,
Frederick [my Grandfather] and George his
brother.
Captain CC, paid Jonathon Gedge a sum of money,
this in 1891-2. Capt CC then took Ellen and her two sons
away with him ,they lived in Norwich for a time where two children
were born, Frank Rising ,and Helen Rising, they then all moved to
Stradbroke Suffolk,where a farm was purchased [Seymours Farm] here
two more children were born Robert, who was registered Seymour b
1896,and Elizabeth registered Rising b 1899.
It was from this place that Frank Rising
[Capt first child to Ellen] and Ellens' two sons to J Gedge now
known as Seymour ,[Ellens maiden name] were entered into
Framlingham college as boarders.
In 1907,my Grandfather, Frederick [Gedge]
Seymour married Harriet Ellis in Colchester, at this time he was
stationed there with the Hussars, my Father William George Seymour
was b 1909 Colchester.
At this time Capt CC Rising was living with Ellen
and family at Withipole st Ipswich. It was in Ipswich in 1913 that
the good Captain died.
Sometime in 1914, Ellen ,who had not actually
married Capt Rising, moved to Ontario Canada with all her children
except one, my Grandfather Frederick, he remained in Ipswich.
Through a letter I posted on the net, I made
contact with my cousins in Canada. It would appear that Ellen when
she went out to Canada took along Capt Risings ashes, He lays
alongside her in Culross Cemetery, Ontario.
Captain Rising had one natural and lawful son ,as
stated in his last will and testament, dated 1913, viz:
Francis Simon Rising, son of CC Rising and
Catherine Ursula Reynard who was born 1878 at Peterborough.
At the time of Capt Risings death Francis was
noted as Commander RN.
Francis died Bath 1941 and was unmarried, this
then would be the correct end of the legitimate line, but of
course his descendents of his later illegitimate line are still
well and truly kicking along in Canada.
