Transcription of the parish record of his baptism gives his name as Jenoar. I haven’t seen the original record entry. Parents Mathew and Mary Jenoar. Subsequently all documents including those signed by Joshua give his name as Jenour. Family members are consistent in this spelling but others often include double ‘n’, Jennour. With his older brother Matthew was proprietor of the London Daily Advertiser. He died before his brother, but his sons also Matthew and Joshua inherited the majority of the interest in the newspaper. Admission papers for freedom of the city were lodged and signed (but not dated) by Matthew for his son Joshua. Admission is on basis of father’s status as stationer with freedon of city (and Joshua’s legitimacy as his father’s son). (Addmisions records for Nov 1736 to April 1737. Joshua would have been 21 in 1736). The admission paper was also signed by his brother Matthew how had been admitted a few years ealrier when he was 21. Joshua signed a marriage allegation on 16th April 1750, the day before his marriage to Ann. He gave his age as 34 years and his parish as St Sepulchre and her age as 25 years and her parish as St Martin in the Fields. A poll/electoral register of 1750 lists both Matthew and Joshua Jenour as printers, opposite St Dunstan’s church, Fleet Street. A Joshua Jenour, widower (of the parish) married an Eleanor Lawrence, widow (of St Martin’s Ludgate) on 2nd July 1772 at St Dunstan in the West [Parish record image via Ancestry.co.uk]. In 1803 Eleanor is listed in trade directories as a stationer. Is this the same Joshua remarrying after the death of Ann or could it be a cousin? [The Bath Chronicle, 9th July 1772 reports the marriage of Matthew Jenour to Mrs Eleanor Lawrence, but the parish record must be the accurate account and the signature in the record clearly reads Joshua Jenour.] In his will made and signed 3 June 1774 he mentions a late wife and a current wife but doesn’t name either of them. He leaves most of his estate equally between his sons Matthew and Joshua, but does make bequests to his daughters and to his current wife. He appears to appoint his brothers Matthew and Thomas (mainly mentioning his brother Mathew whom I think he asks to sell properties to invest for income for the support of his children - writing is difficult to read so this may not be correct) as trustees over parts of his estate, the copyhold houses and other premises, including at Stanmore in Middlesex, and instructs them to divide the benefits equally between his children. He lists his daugthers Ann, Mary, Charlotte, Sidney and Jane (Presumably Elizabeth has died before he made his will). A selection of Newspapers put the date of Joshua’s death as July 1774, not December as in the trade biography. One London newspaper from Wednesday 6th July 1774: “Yesterday morning, after three weeks illness aged 58, at his house in Fleet Street, Mr Joshua Jenour, Printer of the Daily Advertiser.” The greater London Burial index records that Joshua Jenour of St Dunstan, London was interred in the Minister’s Vault at Little Stanmore, Middlesex on 10th July 1774. This appears to be in line with his wishes expressed in his will to be burried in the vault with his first wife. The notes on the burial index say: “affidavit made; buried in the minister's vault” A Biographical Database of Members of the London Book Trade 1701-1800 gives Joshua’s death as 22nd December 1774 but all other evidence suggests that this is wrong. |
