AGED 85

Lucy Prince, born in 1816 was the youngest of Frederick, and Betty's (nee Miller) eight children. She was baptised on 18th March 1816 at Beaulieu church. In 1817 the Rev Comyn noted them as a Baptist family living against the manor bank near to what is now Willow Cottage in East Boldre.

Henry Hendy was born in 1814 to William (a labourer) and Martha (nee Dicey). He was baptised on 17th July 1814 at Beaulieu church which recorded the family as living at 'Pernel'.

No record was found of Lucy and Henry's marriage but the 1841 census lists her as Lucy Hendy living with Henry and there two year old son Charles. They went on to have seven children together.

The 1851 census lists them living at Park Cottage, Beaulieu possibly on Park Farm or the property now called Old Park Cottage in Coopers wood. There is no trace of any of the family in the 1861 census online except for their second son Charles who was serving as a gun room boy with the Royal Navy and based in Malta. By 1871 Henry and Lucy are living in one of Lodge (Farm) Cottages with Henry working as an agricultural labourer.

In 1881 , now aged 67, Henry had become a fishmonger salesman and they were living in East Boldre. Still living there in 1891, Henry was working as a general labourer.

Lucy was buried at the chapel on 5th February 1893 by the Rev Henry New. Henry's burial post-dates the surviving chapel burial register.
