Birth 1755 Admitted to freedom of city 1776 Married 1783-85 Furnes is now Belgium Marriage licence issued in Suffolk 28th March 1785. This is presumably for their remarriage in Flempton. Boyd's inhabitants of London: Joshua Jenour son of Joshua Jenour born about 1724 and Mary Harding married to Harriette Andrews daughter of Robert Andrewes. Joshua (1755) is described as a Master of the Stationers Co. and Manager and proprietor of the Daily Advertiser. . He had a large family and his children are listed: According to trade directories Joshua lived at 33 Fleet Street, London for many years. Joshua re-married after his first wife, Harriet's death and went on to have more children. There is census entry of a Joshua Jenour living in Eden Place, Gravesend in 1841 but he is only 70-74 years old and this too young to be this Joshua, the age in the census is likely to be wrong, as subsequent evidence suggests this is indeed Joshua’s 2nd family. Family is Henry 25, Amelia 10, Laura 20 and Amelia 40. (HO107/460/9 p12). The informant listed on Joshua’s death certificate is Laura of the same address at Gravesend in Kent. The ages of the children suggest Henry and Laura were either his step children or born before he and Amelia were married. Entry in dictionary of National Biography: In some of his obituaries (and on his death certificate) he was described as 102 year old centenarian and his year of birth given as 1852, but this appears to be a mistake. He was also refered to as Sir Joshua Jenour - so when did he receive his honour? "Joshua was a "miscellaneous writer" and the CHIGWELL WORTHIES From: 'Chigwell: Worthies', A History of the County of Essex: Volume 4: Ongar Hundred (1956), p. 24. URL: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.asp?compid=15538. PARISH GOVERNMENT AND POOR RELIEF From: 'Chigwell: Parish government and poor relief', A History of the County of Essex: Volume 4: Ongar Hundred (1956), pp. 37-8. URL: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.asp?compid=15543. "In 1792 one of the overseers was Joshua Jenour, a well-known author and pamphleteer and a man of advanced views. (fn. 16) In that year he planned to build a pest-house out of the poor rates. As he had not consulted either his fellow officers or the vestry, the churchwardens ordered him to desist. He moved a resolution at a subsequent vestry meeting that the house should be built, but this was defeated. Among his supporters were three local doctors, while the opposition came mainly from the farmers and larger ratepayers. In 1794 the vestry supported a plan proposed by John Conyers for the relief of the poor of the hundreds of Ongar, Harlow, and Waltham, but later withdrew support. In 1795 the high price of flour was met by subsidizing from the rates the bread bought by the poor from local bakers, and by the agreement of the wealthier inhabitants to use flour from which 7 lb. bran a bushel had been extracted. In 1800 it was decided to provide the poor with substitutes for flour, mainly rice and potatoes, and the ratepayers were urged to use similar substitutes themselves." Note: the account above certainly fits with the titles of some of Joshua’s published writing; “A plan for Meliorating the Conditions of the Labouring Poor” and “An Exposition of the treatment in private Mad-houses”. LONDON TRADE BOOKS From: The London book trades 1775-1800 "JENOUR, Matthew, printer, Giltspur Street 1724; 33, opp. St. Dunstan's Church Fleet Street 1763M-1786. D. 1786. Master Sta. Co. 1769. Printer of Flying post 1724. Established Daily advertiser, long a leading daily paper, which enriched the family until the end of the century 1734. Younger brother and partner Joshua Jenour l, master Sta. Co. 1772, d. 1774. Plomer; Howe, Nichols i 290-91, iii, 726-27, ix, 490; Timperley 760; Todd Aspinall; Werkmeister." This Joshua born 1755 is the one referred to as Joshua Jenour II and his father is Joshua Jenour I From National Archives Index: Contents:
Other possible references to Joshua or his relatives of the same name LEASING LAND IN WALES "Following the death of Sir Arthur Owen of Orielton, Pembrokeshire, in 1735, his lands in Anglesey, Carmarthenshire, and Pembrokeshire, were divided between his sons. The Rev. Arthur Owen, grandson of Sir Arthur, leased property in the Borough of Carmarthen to James Rice Williams of London and Joshua Jenour of Essex in 1801. From 1825, the Carmarthenshire properties were held by James Rice Williams and his children." {Note: one of Joshua snr’s daughters, Ann, (sister of Joshua b1755) had married a Reverend Richard Williams, so there may be some family conncetion between the two tennants.] ELEY'S PATENT WIRE CARTRIDGE According to wikipedia the patent holder was Joshua Jenour, born 1755 and former manager of the Daily Advertiser. Is the cartridge maker Joshua 1755 or another member of the family? The London Journal of Arts and Sciences vol 13, 1827 via Google Books on p221, has piece “Shot Cartridge, invented by Mr Joshua Jenour, jun, of William Street, Hampstead Row. It gives transcription of letter sent to the society by Joshua together with a description of the invention. Might this have been a younger member of his family, his son for example? This Joshua had a daughter Louisa Jenour who married Richard Upton, a 40 year old dancing master on 13th June 1841 at All Soul’s Church, Marylebone, Westminster. Louise was 23, both bride and groom were previously unmarried. Louisa’s father is Joshua Jenour a cartridge maker. Richard’s father is also named Richard and a dance Master. Louisa is most likely Joshua’s daughter with his second wife Amelia. Louisa was born about 1818 (making her 23 in 1841) before they were married, while his former wife Harriet was still living. |

Boyd's Marriage index records marriage in 1785 (at least from on-line index). This is the "remarriage" in Flempton. |
