(11) Die 17 Junii 1775, Natus die 15 ejusdem Mensis, baptizatus fuit Carolus TILBURY filius Johannis & Ruth TILBURY (Conjugum) in Parochia de Otterborne. Patrinus fuit Richardus GOLDFINCH, Matrina Francisca LINKHORN.
A me Gul. WALMESLEY O.S.B. M. & P.
[On 17 June 1775, b. 15 of previous month, Charles TILBURY, son of John & Ruth TILBURY, was baptised in the Parish of Otterborne. Godfather: Richard GOLDFINCH; Godmother: Frances (or Francisca) LINKHORN. By me Wil. WALMESLEY O.S.B. M. & P.]

So far as I know, there is no proof to date that John & Ruth's son Charles was the father of Charles of Southampton, but it seems a very high probability: no other Charles b. Otterbourne is apparent at that time. In 1851 James TILBURY b. c.1772 Otterbourne, was living in Bishops Waltham, Hampshire, with his family. Both Charles and James may have been descended from the same line as James TILBURY d. 1817, probate Will 1818.

The 1818 Will of James Tilbury

"Eliza Robinson married 1840 Charles Tilbury - he was a widower at the time, living at Winchester Terrace, Southampton. Witnesses were James Tilbury and a Harriet Hiscock?
Charles was a gambler (lost all his money) - liked women and died 1866 in bed with another woman in Southampton. This I was told many years ago."
 
"After he lost all his money, Charles' children had to go out to work - they had been born into a comfortable middle class family.
 
The Royal Hotel Aldershot was apparently built when Aldershot developed as a garrison town during the early 1800s. It was demolished during the 1930s due to road improvements."
 
"Charles Tilbury (Sheriff officer) was a widower when he married Eliza Robinson in 1840. I've found out his 1st wife was Catherine Hayward Mundy. They married 3rd May 1838 All Saints Southampton Hampshire. Vol 7 page 207. This is what I don't understand (did he commit Bigamy?): his 1st wife Catherine Hayward Mundy died 3Q 1840 Farnham Hants Vol 4 page 97 so he remarried before she died. Actually reading about his character, I wouldn't be surprised!!!!!!"
[Or did he forget the civil registration of Catherine's death until after marrying Eliza?]

NISI PRIUS COURT - CLARK v. TILBURY
This was an action of trespass brought by the plaintiff who is a schoolmaster, of Southampton, against the defendant, who is a sheriff's officer, for an illegal distraint of six cows, at Bitterne, and other property at West End.
Mr. COCKBURN and Mr. BARSTOW conducted the case of the plaintiff; and Mr. CROWDER and Mr. SAUNDERS that of the defendant.
The point in question was whether 140l. advanced by Mr. CLARK to Robert SNOOK on his property was a bona fide transaction, or whether it was only [c]olourably done in order to enable SNOOK to defraud Mr. JEW, builder, of Southampton, to whom SNOOK was indebted a considerable sum. It appeared that SNOOK rented land of Mr. JEW, at Northam, and was in arrears for rent; in addition to which he owed him above 100l. and becoming involved in pecuniary difficulties applied to the plaintiff, who advanced him the sum of 140l. on a bill of sale on his property. The cows, which till then had been in pasture at Northam, were driven to Bitterne, and placed in Bitterne Park, arrangements having been made for their keep there for a week with Mr. HAYES, whilst a portion of the household was removed to a house at West End. A few days afterwards, the cows and property were taken in execution by the plaintiff [?defendant?], in the course of his duties as sheriff's officer, at the suit of JEW, and were afterwards sold. SNOOKS, in his evidence, admitted that he did not inform the plaintiff that he was indebted to JEW; that with a portion of it he paid a bill of sale which he had given him for 58l. 7s. 8d. and had expended the remainder upon himself.
Verdict for the plaintiff, damages 140l.

THE ALLEGED MURDER AT ALDERSHOTT
Mr. SHEBBEARE, one of the coroners for the county of Hants, and a jury, resumed the inquest, adjourned from the 6th instant, on Friday, at the Alliance Tavern, in the village of Aldershott, on the body of John GORDON, a private soldier, in the West Kent Regiment of Militia, now stationed at the camp at Aldershott [...]
Charles TILBURY, the landlord of the Alliance Tavern at Aldershott, deposed to the witness CHAMBERS coming to his house alone about eleven o'clock on the night of Saturday, the 3d inst., drunk, and applying for some beer, for which he tendered half-a-crown in payment, but he refused to serve him. CHAMBERS then struck at him, and a slight scuffle ensued, in which the half-crown fell to the ground, but was afterwards found and restored to him. After that CHAMBERS had a quarrel in his (witness's) taproom with some men drinking there, and witness turned them all to the door, and he never saw CHAMBERS again that evening. He had previously advised him to go to his quarters in the camp, for the picket would be coming round, and he (CHAMBERS) would get into a scrape, but he refused to follow his advice.
[...] The jury, after a short interval of deliberation, found that the deceased had come by his death from the wounds on his head, but how those wounds had been inflicted there was no evidence to show.

Chas. TILBURY, "Royal Hotel", Aldershott

Many large inns or hotels were the scene for inquests and preliminary hearings; there was a room on the first floor of the Royal Hotel, "where delinquents were brought up for trial". The following report is of an inquest into one of the so numerous deaths in childbirth.

From "Medical Times and Gazette", October 15, 1859
COMMITTAL OF A MIDWIFE FOR MANSLAUGHTER
Mr. CHANDLER, coroner for Hants, held an inquest on Thursday last, at the Royal Hotel, Aldershot, on the body of Bridget TURNER, aged 26, wife of a sawyer, whose death appeared to have resulted from the unskilfulness and neglect of a midwife named Ann YOUNG, whom the deceased had engaged to assist her.
It appeared that the case from the commencement of the labour exhibited a very serious aspect; but, notwithstanding some neighbours present urged that a doctor should be sent for, Mrs. YOUNG represented that it was quite an ordinary case, which she was perfectly competent to conduct. Ultimately, deceased was delivered of a dead child, and, falling into a state of syncope, Mr. RENTZSCH, Surgeon, was sent for. He saw immediately that the case was hopeless, and the patient died in about twenty minutes after birth. Great haemorrhage, described by Mr. RENTZSCH as a highly dangerous symptom, requiring most cautious treatment, had preceded the birth several hours, but of which it appeared the midwife had taken no notice.
The jury, after some deliberation, returned a verdict of manslaughter against Ann YOUNG, and she was thereupon committed by the coroner for trial at the next assizes.
