This is a basic family tree of our ancestors

This is William Worth, he was our great,great,great,Grandfather,

to put another way, he was the Grandfather of Minnie Dryer Martin who was the Mother of our Grandfather Albert Arthur Saggers,

He was a Wesleyan Minister ,he was born in Tiverton in 1781 to wealthy parents and became a Wesleyan circuit preacher ,he married Susannah Dryer born Exeter 1796 they had several children including Emma Bennet Worth (born 1832 Helston Cornwall ) she was the Mother of Minnie Dryer Martin ,William eventually became a Superintendent Minister ,which is the equivalent to a Canon in the Church of England.

His daughter Emma Bennett Worth married Alfred Martin (born Chartham ,Kent 1831) Alfred was employed as an assistant in a drapers shop in Islington owned by William Worth's sister Mary.

This is the marriage certificate of our grandparents,Albert Arthur Saggers and Eliza Eva Gertrude Jelley,the witnesses are their mothers ,Naomi Jelley and Minnie Dyer Saggers ,

Nan was living at 16 Quinn Square,Grandad was living at 98 Quinn Square

Worth House built 1791

This is the census form for 1911 it shows Grandad and his two sisters Florence and Lily,they were at that time living in two rooms in Clissold Road Hackney,the form would have been filled in by one of our great grandparents and has both their signatures,the section for how many children they had shows five,two had died ,it also asks how long they had been married ,that section was left blank, they had never married ,I have found a previous marriage entry for a Minnie Martin which if it is her would explain why they never married ,divorce at that time was only possible for the very rich and even then virtually impossible to obtain ,Minnie was eight years older than Frederick an was 33 years old by the time our Grandad was born Mum told me years ago that our great grandfather Frederick Arthur Saggers deserted Minnie and leaving her and the children to fend for theirselves, when Minnie died her death was registered in the names of Minnie Saggers and Minnie Dyer Martin ,Sylvie has the original Death certificate;

Minnie was the Grandaughter of a Weslyan Minister, his name was William Worth, he was born in Tiverton,Devon, he came from a very wealthy family from a village two miles from Tiverton called Washfield ,they owned Washfield for hundreds of years they built the church there and have their own private vault ,I visited the village four years ago ,the Worth family built their last family house a beautiful Georgian manor house in 1791 , it was called Worth House ,

By the end of the 19th century the last member of the Worth family sold up ,the house fell into disrepair,it was demolished and a new house of equal proportions was built in its place in 1936 (see photographs above) I contacted the present owners ,an American couple and they very kindly invited me to come and visit them and have a look around the house ,so far I have not found the time ,there is some information about the Worth family at Tiverton Museum and lots more at the Devon records centre including a portrait of our Great Great Great Grandfather , the Reverand William Worth, I have a copy of his portrait which I shall also post,

the Worth family lived in Washfield and Tiverton from the time of the Norman conquest.
