  M i David Dickson

John Hibidage [Parents] was born 1, 2, 3, 4 on 1 Jun 1804 in Witchampton, Dorset. He was christened 5 on 17 Jun 1804 in Witchampton, Dorset. He died 6 on 24 Feb 1880 in Commercial Road, Bournmouth.. He was buried in St. Peter's Churchyard, Bournmouth.. He married Sarah Chaffey X after 1827. John signed a will after 4 Feb 1880. He was employed as Builder & Carpenter employing 30 men.

John started life in humble surroundings but by the time of his death, in February 1880, he had accumulated properties to the value of £25,000. Only a few details of his life have been uncovered to date, although he must have been a prominent figure in the birth of Bournemouth. He is given a brief mention in a book by Charles H. Mate, titled "Bournemouth: 1810-1910".

By 1841 he had joint tenancy of some land adjoining Pool Hill, on the original "Bourne Property" that formed the nucleus of today's Bournemouth. The other tenants of this piece of land were; Messrs. George Berry and David Tuck. This land was part of the Gervis Estate owned by Sir George Tapps-Gervis, whose father, Sir George Ivison Tapps, Lord of the Manor of Christchurch, purchased 205 acres, including the East Cliff, in 1805. At this time the whole of Bournemouth consisted of 28 buildings, including 16 new holiday homes known as Westover Villas. The construction of these homes commenced in 1836, built by David Tuck, who had the monopoly of the work under Sir George until the arrival of John Hibidage. It is thought, but not yet confirmed, that John also had a hand in the construction of Westover Villas. Previous to this time, Bourne "mouth" had only a handful of buildings, the first being built for Captain Lewis Tregonwell in 1810. The land between Christchurch and Poole was baron heathland, inhabited by poachers and smugglers. A plank of wood was used to cross the Bourne Stream. An excellent website showing the growth of Bournemouth, with maps, paintings and historic details can be found here:

Research is pending to discover how many buildings, roads and other constructions were carrried out by John, but, in 1848, John Hibidage and David Tuck commenced building two large villas on the East Cliff for Rev. W. Timson and Dr. Mainwaring, Bournemouth's first resident doctor. John also built part of St Peter's church, where he and his wife are buried.

The 1851 census shows John as a Carpenter & Builder employing just 3 men, but his workforce had increased to 30 men and 4 boys by 1871. He was also listed as an undertaker in 1861.

At some period, he formed a partnership, concerning brickmaking, with Christopher Crabbe Creeke, an established architect and first Surveyor of the Bournemouth Commissioners. It is likely that John implemented at least a few of his designs. Christopher was made an exeutor of John's will and acted as plaintiff when the will was contested by Sarah Ann Butler, a niece of John's wife. The case was reported in detail in the Christchurch Times on 12 March 1881 and can be viewed here. A summary of the case follows.

Sarah Ann Butler was a daughter of John's sister-in-law, Elizabeth Hannah Wood and Thomas Butler. Thomas died when Sarah was still very young and she then moved in with John & Sarah Hibidage. After a while she took over the duties previously undertaken by John's stepdaughter, Angelina.

John made his first will in May 1873 leaving £200 to Sarah Ann Butler. He later made several codices to the will. Finally, in December 1879, leaving her 5 houses, including Linwood House, to the value of £7000.

Angelina (Sarah Hibidage's daughter by a previous marriage) was raised by John and treated as if she were his own daughter, until she left the family home to marry Thomas Lance (date unknown). When Thomas died, towards the end of 1879, she moved back with John & Sarah. Very soon after this John became ill.

In January 1880, John appointed Christopher Crabb Creeke, and a Miss Elizabeth Banger to make a new will changing his gift to Sarah Ann Butler to just £1000, leaving the rest to his wife & stepdaughter.

In the court case, witnesses were called to check the signatures. Miss Banger and other witnesses told the court that Sarah, who also helped John with his book keeping, caused many disagreements between John and his wife. The jury decided that the latest will, made on 4th February 1880, was genuine.

John also left a large portion of his will, including Linwood House, to a niece, Caroline Houghton. It is not yet known who she is, but she could be a daughter of John's sister, Ann Kent Hibdige, who married Edward Piper in 1838. No trace of Ann has been found after her marriage, but she could have had a second marriage to a Mr. Houghton. She probably died before 1873, as she was not named in John's will.

It has proved difficult to find any details of Sarah Hibidage's first or second marriage, but we assume her maiden name was Wood. Her sister, Elizabeth Hannah Wood, married Thomas Butler at Southampton in 1844. Elizabeth's father, and presumably Sarah's father, was Daniel Wood. Sarah's daughter, Angelina, by her first marriage, married Thomas Lance and, some time later (possibly when Sarah Ann Butler moved in with John and Sarah), adopted her cousin, Angelina Fanny Butler, who was also the sister of Sarah Ann Butler.

Notes for Christopher Crabbe Creeke (1820-1886)
Christopher was the first Surveyor of the Bournemouth Commissioners and played a major role in the early development and planning of the town. He designed beautifully curved roads around the chines, which were lined with grand villas, some of which were built by John Hibidage. Several of these have now been pulled down for redevelopment and construction of the Nuffield Hospital.

He also designed many of the towns landmarks, including the Central Pleasure Gardens, the cemetery and chapel at Wimborne Road, two wings of the Royal Bath Hotel and the reconstructed Boscombe Manor. He also designed Poole cemetery.

In 1856 he was given the title of 'Surveyor and Inspector of Nuisances' which he held until 1879.

A statue of Christopher with Bournemouth's founder, Captain Lewis Tregonwell, was erected in May 1999 near the entrance of the Bounremouth International Centre. Christopher is depicted sitting on a lavatory, portraying his role as the town's first sanitary engineer.

A letter from Dorothy Gibson/Heath (a great granddaughter of Mary Ann Smith/Pidgley/Kilcher, to Dorothy Bayford/Harris who shares the same great grandparents.

Dear Dorothy, A few details for you - at last! I haven't given up yet! As soon as winter is over, and the weather improves, I'm hoping to make a trip to a church in the New Forest to find out if it is true that our maternal great step grandfather is buried there. My mother always said that her mother was born on the Isle of Wight. Her father William Pidgley, was lost at sea. Her mother remarried a George Kitcher and moved to a farm in the New Forest. There were at least 3 daughters of the Pidgley family I knew aunt Lizzie whose married name was Phillips and lived at Lymington. There was also, I believe, a sister called Rose of whom I know nothing. Some of the family lived in the Stockbridge area. I know nothing of the Kitcher family except that he was a heavy drinker. This old lady rode horses and had commoners rights of grazing cattle in the New Forest. She lived to be quite old, apparently her second husband had a riding accident and was an invalid for some time before he died.

I once wrote to Binstead on the Isle of Wight but there were no records of the family there and we could find nothing in the Bishops Transcripts at the Records Office. I suppose I could write to the Admiralty as William Pidgley was a seaman.

Hope you are all well, we are not too bad! Weather has been very bad but so far we have escaped flu!! I've been having treatment for high blood pressure since a toe operation last August - which is a nuisance!

All the best to you all from Dorothy and family.
