Charles William Kendall

Charles was born in Sandford, Hampshire in 1856. His father was John Kendall (1827-1908). His mother was Elizabeth Chamberlain Rogers (1832-1915).

Charles had four wives and ten children.


Charles's first marriage was to Annie Manston of Ringwood in 1877. Annie was born about 1857. Her father was George Manston. I've found no record of any children.

In 1881, Charles was boarding in Southampton, and reported himself to be single. I've found no further record of Annie.

Soon after, Charles had three children with Janet Kendall (formerly Kendall):
  1. Ada May Kendall (born 5 May 1883 in Ringwood)
  2. Charles William Kendall (born 5 May 1885 in Ringwood)
  3. Bertie Tom Kendall (born 28 Dec 1887 in Bransgore)

In the 1891 census, these children were living with their grandparents John and Elizabeth. Charles and Janet were nowhere to be found.

Next, Charles had five children with Mary Ann (formerly Brookes/Walker):
  1. Arthur Adrian Kendall (born 20 May 1894 in Southampton)
  2. Albert Edward Walter Kendall (b. 3 June 1896 in Crow, Ringwood)
  3. Annie Julia Kendall (b. 25 June 1898 in Northam, Southampton)
  4. Frederick Lewis Stanley Kendall (b. 25 April 1900 in Northam, Southampton)
  5. Walter Charles Kendall (b. 15 Nov 1907 in Ringwood)

Mary Ann died in December 1907 and Charles married Rose Maud Gordge in 1909. They had two children:
  1. Dora Gladys Kendall (died July 1909 age 2 months)
  2. Edward Alexander Kendall (1910-1984)

Charles died in 1910 and Rose took Edward to Devon. He married Alice Maud Littlejohns, and they had six children, most of whom had large families.

Charles is buried at the Ringwood Cemetery on Hightown Road, next to his baby daughter Gladys.
Their unmarked graves are located just in front and to the right side of the large bush shown here.

The picture was taken from a position north-east of the bush, in section P of the cemetery. To the left, you'd see the cemetery entrance and parking area. Charles is buried in grave Q54, and Gladys is buried in the eastern half of grave P54. Click here for a map.
