Henry Anstey was born in Frampton Cotterell in 1827 and was living in Wickwick Farm at the time of the 1841 census. The family later moved to Elm Farm, Stoke Gifford. Henry married his first wife Jane in 1849 and they lived in Winterbourne Down before moving to Watley's End, where he is listed as a General Dealer and Shopkeeper. He had two sons, Henry Anstey & Robert Anstey. The elder brother, Henry, died aged 48, whilst Robert went on to produce nine children. Henry senior's second wife, Elizabeth, was also the mother of Robert's wife, Annie Louise, which must have caused some confusion with the grandchildren! Robert & Annie Louisa's eldest son, Francis Anstey, married Annie Garland, and their son, Sidney Anstey, was the father of Jane Whitehead's mother. Got
that? Well, if you're so clever, what was Henry Anstey Snr's
relationship to Jane? Answers Henry Anstey senior, seen here on the right in this splendid photograph, died in 1910 and is buried at Watley's End.
