Note: Anne was the daughter of Thomas MORSE (b 1744 d 1844 aged 100)
One of her brothers, Thomas Morse had a son Frederick (b 1820 d 1911) who, with partner Henry Glasspoole WOODS formed a brewery company called "Morse and Woods" and occupied the Lowestoft Porcelain factory premises. You can see the pages for Lowestoft Porcelain hereThomas and Ann possessed a farm in the parish of Blundeston-cum-Flixton, and one wonders, since they had no children, if this
might have been the same property later occupied by the Morse family. An 1879
report from the Ipswich Registry Office states that both Thomas and Anne had
died at Blundeston Hall and that the will of Anne Glasspoole was proved in
London in July 1853 and is on record at Somerset House, and that the will of
Thomas Glasspoole would also have been proved in London. Thomas Glasspoole
Esq of Blundeston had his residence on the road from Lowestoft to Yarmouth.
Thomas could not have owned Blundeston Hall, which was held by the Woods
family since 1767, so must have held one of the other farms in the parish.
His
niece was wife of John Jex WOODS who was an owner of Blundeston Hall and
therefore a neighbour. Mrs.Anne Glasspoole, the widow of Thomas, was living in
1851 in a cottage on the Blundeston Hall property in her old age (Ref: ?). Prior to
this, in 1844, Ann Glasspoole appears as a farmer in Blundeston . The will of Thomas
Glasspoole of Blundeston, dated 3 June 1835 with a codicil apparently made the
same day, was proved 6 May 1840 by the oaths of his relict Ann Glasspoole, John
Jex Woods, and the testatorÕs nephew Thomas UTTON, the executors. In it he
disposes of property both freehold and copyhold in Blundeston and Aldeby, and
names a large number of relatives since he himself had apparently no children. He
also makes provisions for his farming implements, cattle, horses and sheep, crops
of all kinds, and everything related to the farming business, in addition to his
household goods, furniture and linen, wine and liquors, all his dairy and brewing
utensils, all his books, prints and pictures, and various sums of money and
investments. The main beneficiaries were his wife Ann for her benefit in her
lifetime, and his nephews John Jex Woods and Thomas Utton, and the surviving
children of his late brother John Glasspoole. Another nephew, William Utton, was
removed by a codicil having gone to America (Ref: PRO will: Thomas
Glasspoole). Anne Glasspoole (nee Morse), the widow of Thomas, also made a
will, dated 20 May 1849 with codicils 1 July and 7 July 1849, which was
witnessed by William W. Woods and Henry Jex Woods, and proved 29 March
1853. She mentions her friend Mr John Jex Woods of Oulton, the executor, and
her brothers, Mr James Morse of Swaffham, Thomas Morse and John Morse [Ref:
PRO will: Anne Glasspoole].
Thomas was a member of the Mutford and Lothingland Association for prosecuting felons, membership of which was advertised in the Ipswich Journal of Feb 27 1836, Feb 22 1837 and Mar 3 1838. He was also one of the executors to Thomas WOODS, and published advertisements in the Ipswich Journal of 25 Feb and 3 Mar 1837 as follows:
Commutation of tithes
We the undersigned being Landowners, or duly authorized agents of landowners within the Parish of Blundeston, in the county of Suffolk whose interest is not less than one fourth part of the lands subject to Tithes in the said parish, do by this notice inn writing under our hands, call a parochial meeting of land owners and tithe owners within the limits of the said Parish for the purpose of making an agreement of the general Commutation of tithes within the limits of the said parish pursuant to the provisions of an Act, passed in the 6th and 7th years of the Reign of his present Majesty, intitled, "An Act for the commutation of Tithes in England and Wales." And we do hereby also give notice that such meeting will be held at the School house, in the said parish, on Thursday the sixteenth day of March next at the hour of eleven in the forenoon. Given under our hands this twenty second day of February one thousand eight hundred and thirty seven.

25 Henry GLASSPOOLE m Mary HARRIS abt 1765
Note: Henry lived for a time at Burgh Castle. Beryl Platts notes that John
Glasspoole (1761-1825), the son of John Bedford Glasspoole who follows next,
was living at Burgh Castle at the time of his marriage to Elizabeth Coote, and
thinks he must have been there helping his uncle Henry Glasspoole to farm. She
has compiled a table (which however I do not have) for a Glasspoole family that
later lived at Belton Hall and also owned Caldecot Hall in Fritton, and who were descended from this Henry and Mary (Harris) Glasspoole. Henry Glasspoole of
Belton in the county of Suffolk, gentleman, made a will on 2 June 1821, which
was proved at London on 3 January 1825, the executors being his wife Mary, his
son George Glasspoole, and his daughter Mary Glasspoole. In it he disposed of
his lands, messuages, dwelling houses, and tenement and heredits lying in Belton,
which at that time were in his own occupation and those of his tenants. These
were to pass to his wife and then his daughter and any issue she may have during
their lifetimes and finally to his son George Glasspoole (who presumably already
had substantial property of his own). Also mentioned in his will were Catherine
Hudson, Mary Ann Glasspoole, and Catherine Maria Glasspoole, his
granddaughters, whose maintenance and education was provided for in the will
until she reaches the age of twenty one. For this purpose several large legacies of
1500 pounds each were set aside. Among the personal effects disposed of were
his china and silver, while the residue of his estate was to go to his son George
subject to his wife's use in her lifetime
From 1770 tp 1787 Mr. H. (Henry) Glasspoole, who was a large rate-
payer, continued to be the only Churchwarden of Burgh Castle, Suffolk. After
him, in 1789, Mr John Neslen became Churchwarden, followed by Mr George
Neave, when Mr John Glasspoole took office. John Glasspoole was then
Churchwarden of Burgh Castle from 1791-1799. Although no statement of their relationship
has been found there is hardly any doubt that this Henry Glasspoole of Belton
Hall was the uncle of this John Glasspoole who was son of his probable brother
John (Ref: pem comment). In 1803 Henry Glasspoole of Caldecot-hall, which he
held from the President and Fellows of Mary Magdalen College, Oxford, the
ultimate owners, appears in a list of names of the several persons acting as
Gamekeepers according to the system of deputations or appointments resulting
from an Act of Parliament passed in the 31st year of the then king's reign

Note: William and Judith Glasspoole apparently lived first in Burgh
Castle, then in Somerleyton parish, and (from before 1773) in Blundeston parish
before settling in South Wootten, Norfolk. This William appears in Blundeston
documents in 1775 and 1781, having undertaken to pay the rental of the
Blundeston "Town Pightle" and adjoining tenements (presumably for the benefit of
the poor) for a term ending in 1781, and one of these documents bears his
signature. Sometime after 1788 he and his family moved to Norfolk where the
family seems to have had property all along. William Glasspoole made his will in
January 1802 with a codicil in 1806, which was proved 30 July 1807. In it he
disposed of his messuages, tenements, and hereditaments both freehold and
copyhold, in Somerleyton, and names various members of his immediate family.
William and Judith (Brame) Glasspoole had 11 children, the first three baptised in
Somerleyton, and the rest in Blundeston.

The estate was valued at under £300. Signatories to the bond were Henry Glasspoole, Thomas CLOWES of Caister Norfolk, solicitor and Joseph LANCASTER of Gt Yarmouth, gentleman.

Note: Elizabeth was the daughter of William and Elizabeth COOTE of Somerleyton Hall. The wedding (by licence) may have taken place at Burgh Castle, although recorded at Somerleyton. William died 6 Mar 1814 aged 77 and Elizabeth d 2 Apr 1805 aged 60 both in Somerleyton. William COOTE may have married again as a widower: in 1813 in Ashby the ratebook records the name "Widow Coote", evidently one of the landowners of the parish.
John GLASSPOOLE was said to be "of Burgh Castle" at his wedding to Elizabeth, and after apparently living in Somerleyton for a while settled in Manor House Farm Herringfleet from 1800 to 1812. He was a churchwarden in 1791 to 1804, and seems to have been followed as such by an un-named son from 1817 to 1822, although one source suggests that he remained churchwarden until 1825. Since there are usually two churchwardens, it is possible that they were both in this post. It is recorded that 'in 1799 the Clerk (Mr Glasspoole) receives
'on account' 5 shillings, presently 2s.6d., and finally wages due 7s.6d. Poor man, was he
badly off, or had the Churchwarden no money in hand?: It was a wintry time, for on
February 27 he paid Henry Pope 2s.6d. for flinging snow out of the Church path
According to his grandson, Arnold George Glasspoole, John left considerable property in his will which took several years to administer.
Ann Arnold was already living with the family when Elizabeth died, and thus became the carer if not the de facto mother at her death. Was Ann a nurse?
John was a member of the Mutford and Lothingland Association for prosecuting felons, membership of which was advertised in the Ipswich Journal of Feb 27 1836. [Thanks to Giles Colchester for this]

50 George GLASSPOOLE m Sarah JENNER
Note: George Glasspoole, son of Henry Glasspoole of Burgh Castle and his wife
Mary, is mentioned in his fatherÕs will made 1821 and proved 1825. He lived and farmed at Caldecot Hall in Fritton. George Glasspoole, of Fritton in the county of Suffolk, gentleman, made his will
10 January 1838, which was proved at London 4 January 1839 by the
oaths of George Glasspoole, his son, and James Larkman, his son-in-law,
two of the executors, the other executor being his wife Sarah Glasspoole
for whom the same was reserved. In his will he disposed of his property in
Fritton, property he had previously purchased in Gorleston and Bradwell,
and the family property in Belton which was then in the use of his sister,
Mrs Bell, in her lifetime but to revert to her brother or his heirs on her
decease.
George was a member of the Mutford and Lothingland Association for prosecuting felons, membership of which was advertised in the Ipswich Journal of Feb 27 1836, Feb 22 1837 and Mar 3 1838. (the last three years of his life) [Thankd to Giles Colchester for this]

Henry also appears in an administration bond as one of the next of kin to John Bream Glasspoole, as a "brazier"

Note: Richard wrote a highly interesting narrative dated 1809 describing his capture by Chinese pirates who held him for ransom off Macao whilst he was on an East India Company voyage on the ship "Marquis of Ely".
In 1804 he joined the East India Company as a midshipman on board the "Surrey" and became 4th mate of the "Marquis of Ely" in 1808. Soon after his release by the pirates he became 3rd Mate and then served in the "Rose" and the "Buckinghamshire" as second mate. He made three voyages to China on the "Canning" and was sworn as the master of the "Buckinghamshire" on June 25th 1823. He remained in command of this ship until he retired from the sea in the season 1830 to 1831
He was one of the two biggest landowners in Ormsby and "had a fine collection of India and Chinese productions, purchased by the owner when in the East India Company's service" Rebecca was the daughter of William BRANFORD and Rebecca WOMACK

Note: He was a botanist from Ormesby, Norfolk who put together a herbarium of specimens from southern England and the environs of Great Yarmouth and the eastern Norfolk Broads. He recorded the first instance of a plant for Britain as a whole, together with two for Norfolk. He was a member of the Norfolk and Norwich Naturalists Society from its inception and contributed a number of biographical memoirs of botanists to the Society's Transactions. He was also a contributor to the Science Gossip Club, was Honorary Curator of Botany at the Norfolk and Norwich Museum and Botanist at Alexandra Palace, and was a member of the Norfolk Microscopical Society and the Queckett Microscopical Club. He bequeathed his herbarium, comprising around 500
specimens, to his friend and fellow botanist Herbert Geldart, and
the resulting larger collection can be seen by appointment in the
Shirehall Study Centre in England.
