Unmarked grave Herbert Arnold Manners (1869-1931)
Herbert was born in Southwark in 1869 to stove fitter William Manners, born in Oxfordshire, and his wife Mary Ann, from Deal in Kent. He was their second son.
In 1871 the family lived in York Grove, Camberwell. Aged 11, Herbert found himself a patient in the vast New Cross Deptford Smallpox Hospital which was one of several built in the 1870s in London following a series of outbreaks of the disease. It could take over 300 patients.
Fortunately Herbert survived the illness and is recorded in 1891 living with his parents in Newington. He was employed as a clerk and his father had changed occupations and was a horse keeper and carman – essentially owning his own delivery vehicle. Herbert’s mother, meanwhile, was a fishmonger.
Aged 25, on 28 July 1895, Herbert married Betsey Amelia Foreman in the parish of St George the Martyr, Southwark. Their only child, Herbert John William, was born in Newington in 1896.
In 1901 Herbert was employed as a railway clerk and the family lived at 40, Henshaw Street, Newington, in rooms in a house shared with two other families.
By 1911 they had moved to 12, Henshaw Street. Herbert was a railway accountant with the London & NW Railway Co. and Herbert jnr. was a solicitor’s clerk.
The family had moved to 253, High Street, Berkhamsted by June 1921. Herbert was an accounts clerk for the London & NW Railway and Herbert jnr. was a “Continental clerk” for South Eastern Railways.
Herbert died 31 January 1931 aged 61.
