Sprotbrough Hall, Yorkshire, former seat of the Copley family


Her daughter Elizabeth Cree was baptised on 21 September 1744 in St Georges, Doncaster, Yorkshire, England.5

Her daughter Ann Cree was baptised on 9 March 1745/46 in Sprotbrough, Yorkshire, England.6

Her son John Cree was baptised on 22 November 1747 in Sprotbrough, Yorkshire.7

Her son William Cree was baptised on 17 September 1749 in Sprotbrough, Yorkshire.4,8

On 14 February 1750/51 Martha Cree appeared as a witness in the House of Lords. (Her name is recorded in error as Mary; the fact that it was Martha Cree is shown in the record for 5 Feb where she and others were ordered to attend on the 14th.)

The Order of the Day being read, for the Second Reading of the Bill, intituled, 'An Act to dissolve the Marriage of Godfrey Copley Esquire with Anna Maria Brace his now Wife, and to enable him to marry again, and for other Purposes therein mentioned,' and for hearing Counsel, as well for as against the same...

Then Mary [error for Martha] Cree was produced, sworn, and examined, as to the Marriage, her knowledge of both the said Persons, the Condition of Mr Copley's Health, what Persons resorted to his Wife, and her Elopement, and not returning.

Jane Bray was next produced, sworn, and examined as to any and what Familiarities she had seen or known between one Mr. Perkins and Mrs. Copley, and related certain very indecent ones.

Sarah Tanner, Servant to Mrs Copley in the Year 1743, was also called, sworn, and examined in relation to the same Matter, and gave an Account likewise to the House of very indecent Familiarities between the said Mr. Perkins and Mrs Copley...9

A receipt dated 26 March 1757 exists for "£60 received by Joseph Nicholson from Henry Townrowe for the use of Martha Cree, widow." Henry Townrowe was a schoolmaster of Conisborough.10

A quitclaim of 8 August 1793 refers to "Martha Cree of Sprotborough, widow, late Martha Nicholson, one of the daughters of John Nicholson, late of Conisbrough, yeoman, deceased, to Ann Nicholson, widow of Joseph Nicholson, late of Conisborough, yeoman, deceased. Title to an annuity of 40s. and legacy of £60."11

Martha Nicholson died between 9 August 1793 and 29 August 1793. She was buried on 30 August 1793 in Sprotbrough, Yorkshire. "Martha widow of William Cree."12

With regard to the new Housemaid as I don't know what your notions are as to "a nice one" I cannot very well answer your enquiry, but in my opinion she is a tidy, modest, tolerably good-looking lass, & having thus answered your important enquiries I must wish you good night...

  6. [S392] Webpage Sandeman Yacht Company (http://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/details/230/…), extracted 7 Sept 2011, "Gulnare was one of the last boats to be built by Lymington Shipyards (became Berthon) before they were bought out by the Rev Thomas Berthon. She was launched on the 17 January 1900 and named QUEENIE (the original Lloyds Al certificate still exists). She was sold in 1901 to Mr F A Richards who renamed her GULNARE after a rock in western Scotland. In 1906 she changed hands and was bought by Charles Cree, a barrister. He sailed her with his family until his death in 1920 when his son Donald Cree took over ownership. Donald, who was also a barrister, was Honorary Secretary of the Royal Cruising Club during the 1930s and beyond. There are many references to GULNARE in the Clubs journals including an interesting account of a cruise to France and the West Country in 1932 (copy available). Donald Cree moored the boat on the Hamble and she was well known in the Solent. The long family association ended in 1962 when she was sold to John Panton."
  7. [S253] UK Census 2 Apr 1911, The Gulmare, official number 128695, was recorded as a pleasure sailing vessel of 4 and 5/8 tons. The census schedule had been delivered to the yacht on 1 April at Mersea Quarters, an isolated mooring in a creek off West Mersea. She must have sailed to Rochester on the 2nd, a passage of some 40 miles amongst the shifting sands and tides of the Thames Estuary.
