Henry Starling Treeton was born Henry Treeton Starling in Bushley, Worcestershire, in 1828 to Benjamin Treeton, a framer, and later his wife Elizabeth Starling. 

Henry first appears on the 1841 Census aged 13, living with his parents and younger siblings in Bushley Green, Worcestershire.

1851 finds Henry as a foot man for John Edmund Dowdeswell, Master in Chancery, a judge within the Chancery division of the High Court, at Pull Court, Bushley, Worcestershire. Also living with the family and working as a nurse is Emily Hunt. On November 9th 1852 Henry married Emily Hunt in Bushley, Worcestershire, using the surname Treeton Starling. The following announcement appeared in the Worcester Journal on 25th November 1852:

"Marriages-

Nov. 9, at Bushley, Mr. Henry Treeton, of the Upper Lode, Tewkesbury, to Miss Emily Hunt, of Bushley."

Their first child, a daughter, Fanny was born in 1854, followed by Emily in 1855, and a son Arthur in 1857.

By 1861 Henry had entered the employ of Reverend Watson Buller Van Notten Pole as a house servant at the rectory in Upper Swell, Gloucestershire. Emily and the children are living at Holdfast Hall, a farm in the town of Holdfast, Worcestershire. Ellen Treeton was born in 1865.

By 1871 Henry had risen to the rank of butler of the household. Emily, Arthur, and Ellen are still living in the town of Holdfast. Sadly Emily was to pass away in 1879

On the 1881 Census Henry had moved with the Van Notten Pole family to Goldalming, Surrey, where he is still the butler. His daughter Emily was to pass away in 1881.

In 1891 Henry had moved with Watson Buller Van Notten Pole to Ambler House in Maidenhead, Berkshire. On 11th February 1896 Henry was to pass away aged 66. The following announcement appeared in the Maidenhead Advertiser on 19th February 1896:

Louisa Herbert was born Louisa Dancy in 1834 in Maidenhead Berkshire to Henry Dancey, a labourer, and his wife Amy.

Louisa first appears on the 1841 Census, aged 6, living with her parents and siblings at Back Lane near Kidwells House in Maidenhead Berkshire. I have been unable to locate Louisa on the 1851 Census. In 1861 Louisa was working as a domestic servant in the home of Reverend Septimus Lee-Warner at Parsonage House, Little Walsingham, Norfolk. in 1865 Louisa married William Herbert in Maidenhead, Berkshire.

William Herbert was born in Hurley, Berkshire in 1839 to Ann Herbert, a laundress. I have been unable to locate a record of William's father.

The first record of William I can find is the 1851 Census, William aged 12 is living with his mother Ann in East Haddon, Northamptonshire. On the 1861 Census William is lodging at the home of Charles Marriott in Boyn Hill, Maidenhead, Berkshire. William's occupation is given as a joiner.

In 1871 William and Louisa were living at 22 King Street, Maidenhead, Berkshire. Lodging with them are Edward Broughton, and Thomas Wright, both carpenters. 

By 1881 William and Louisa had moved a few doors down to 28 King Street. They are still in King street in 1891, living with them as their servant Jane Hunt. Visiting William and Louisa is Frances Moyes. 1901 finds William and Louisa still living at 28 King Street, lodging with them at the time was George Fuller, a grocer's assistant. 

Louisa was to pass away on 29th June 1904. On  6th July 1904 the Maidenhead Advertiser carried the following announcement:

"Deaths-

Herbert - On June 29th, at 28 King-street, Louisa, wife of William Herbert. Deeply Lamented."

Benjamin George was born on 18th April 1806 in Southwark, Surrey to James George, a mariner, and his wife Sarah.

In 1830 Benjamin and Lucy's only child, a daughter Sarah Eleanor Elizabeth was born in Wets Malling, Kent.

On 28th February 1835 at St Mary's Church, Chatham, Kent Benjamin married Lucy Louisa Allchin.

St Mary's Church, Chatham, Kent

Lucy Louisa Allchin was born on 17th December 1809 in West Malling, Kent, to Sarah A Allchin (married name)

Benjamin and Lucy and their daughter Sarah first appear on the 1841 Census living in Swan Street, West Malling, Kent. Benjamin's occupation is given as a solicitors clerk. Living with them at the time is Grace Allchin

The family were still living in Swan Street, West Malling, Kent in 1861, Sarah is now listed as being a governess, living with the family is Lucy's mother Sarah A Allchin, and housemaid Eliza Woodger.

In 1861 Benjamin and Lucy had moved to 4 Watts Builds, Kingsland Road, Shoreditch, Middlesex. Benjamin's occupation is now listed as a patent bed merchant. Living with the family is domestic servant Susan Hopper.

By 1871 Benjamin and Lucy had moved to 7 Alexandra Terrace, Newcastle Upon Tyne. Benjamin's occupation is listed as Solicitor's Managing Clerk. I guess the patent bed business didn't work out. Living with the family is Eleanor Pullen, a domestic servant. Benjamin was to pass away on 30th September 1878 aged 73.

1881 finds the widowed Lucy living at Cromwell Cottage, 24 Bath Road, Maidenhead, along with Eleanor Pullen. Lucy and Eleanor are still at Cromwell Cottage in 1891. Lucy was to pass away on 17th October 1894 aged 85 years.

Edward Walcott Man was born in 1878 in Maidenhead, Berkshire to Edward Hovell Man from Barbados, a partner in Clairmonte, Man & Co, Trinidad, and his wife Marion (Minnie), sometimes listed as Mary Jane, Badcock from Maidenhead Berkshire.

Edward's parents married in 1877 in Maidenhead Berkshire. Edward was born soon after and sadly passed away at just a few months old. It seems that Edward and Marion had no further children.

Edward's father Edward Hovell Man was to pass away in 1902 in New York, USA, aged 65 years, leaving all his estate to Marion. Marion was to later pass away in 1935 in Essex aged 83 years.
