In 1850, Henry lived on a farm 4 miles from the family farm house (Maitland Farm) where his brothers Robert, John and James ran 236 acres. ¾ mile from them, brother William ran 100 acres of the farm. Another mile or so up the road sister Elizabeth and her husband ran a farm. So they were all situated close to each other.
BurialHenry was buried at Hagley Methodist Church cemetery (now the Uniting Church) in August 1904. The tombstone inscription reads: In Memory of
ChildrenAn article on page 10 of The Examiner of 23 April 1942 read: Henry’s eldest son, W J Hingston, of Butleigh Hill, distinguished himself for his consistently high yield of pure seed wheat, having grown an average of 30 bushels per acre for thirty years in succession. He also gave considerable attention to experimental plots, to test the relative value of different kinds of seeds, in which he had the willing and valued co-operation of Mr Frank Maddox. In 1888 a trophy was presented in connection with the annual show of the Northern Agricultural Society for the best managed farm in the district, and was awarded to W J Hingston, of Butleigh Hill. … The inscription on the cup reads: Northern Agricultural Society, Longford, 1888. – Presented to the Proprietor of “The Colonist,” for Best Managed Farm; Awarded to W J Hingston, Butleigh Hill, Cressy. The same article also noted: Three sons of Henry Hingston, of Glenore, have served extended terms of municipal government, and in the administration of the law – Andrew in the Westbury district, and William and Henry in Longford. EventsAn article on page 10 of The Examiner of 23 April 1942 read: While at Bishopsbourne they [Henry and Ann] were robbed by two masked and armed men, one standing at the door with a loaded musket, and the other foraging the cottage for plunder, which proved scanty. The same evening these marauders visited Charles Cooper’s (now Wallace Goss’) and played the same game. The forager was getting dangerously near a considerable sum of money in a drawer when Mrs Cooper, with remarkable nerve, bustled up beside him with the remark, “I’ll show you there’s nothing there.” Shaking up the contents of the drawer she concealed the money under her apron without being detected. The same evening they visited Green’s (Goss’ off place), but the result is not known. MarriageHenry Thomas HINGSTON married Ann Sarah Maria BANNISTER on 30 December 1843 at the Wesleyan Chapel in Longford. They were married by license by Minister Henry H GAUD. Henry was a bachelor aged 23 years. Ann was a spinster aged 24 years. On their marriage license application, Henry and Ann were both listed as being free. They were married according to the rites and ceremonies of the Church of England and the Wesleyan Society. witnesses to the marriage were Francis FRENCH [Henry's sister’s father-in-law] and James HINGSTON [Henry's father]. OccupationsHenry managed the property Hythe near Longford for a time in the owner’s absence in 1843. PropertyHenry purchased a small farm near Bishopsbourne Station some time after 1843. He later moved to the Oaks and finally to Glenore where he purchased the farm Rosaville on which his great grandsons, James and Brian, were living in 1985. An article on page 10 of The Examiner of 23 April 1942 read: The eldest son, Henry, after managing Hythe, near Longford, during the owner’s absence, married and settled on a small farm near Bishopsbourne station, and later moved to the Oaks, and then to Glenore (now Rosaville), at present owned by his grandson S J Hingston. In 1867, Henry appears to have co-jointly leased the farm at Glenore since The Examiner of 12 November 1867 has an advertisement for the sale of the Glenore and Cluan Estates on behalf of Wm Bryan, Ireland. Lot 4 of 595 acres let to Henry HINGSTON, Wm DOBSON and Wm FRENCH for 380 pounds per year. |
