Harold Ernest Guillebaud

A christening on ancestry to investigate.

The Reverend Henry Lea studied at Cambridge, see attached image. Ordained deacon (Ely) 1841; priest (Ely) 1842; C. Hammpreston, Dorset, 1841-4. V. of Swineshead, Lincs., 1844-8. Sometime of South Grove, Gt Malvern and of Rosenlaui, Clifton, Yorks where he died.

“The land and patronage in the village of Thurgarton was in the hands of Trinity College Cambridge and they instructed a new house be built for the new vicar, Reverend Henry Lea Guillebaud. The plan of the house, originally called ‘The Manor House’ is still kept in the Nottinghamshire Archives and shows that not much has changed since it was first built.

“The 1851 census shows that Reverend Guillebaud was first living in the house as a batchelor with three live-in servants; a groom, housekeeper and a housemaid. He later went on to marry Jemima and had five children while continuing as the vicar of Thurgarton for 20 years, until 1872.”

“In 1848 the Rev. Henry Lea Guillebaud MA became the first vicar of Thurgarton and Hoveringham to live at the parsonage. The son of a Somerset clergyman of Huguenot descent he had followed his father’s footsteps into the church after gaining a MA at Trinity College Cambridge in 1841. He married in his late 30s and he and wife Jemima raised five children at Thurgarton. He left the village in 1872 shortly after establishing the Church of England village school.”
