Laburnum Terrace

Owners of No. 12 Gloucester Road

We have not seen the deeds of this property, but we believe that the house was transferred from John Hodges, the original owner, to his daughter, Emma and her husband, John Williams on August 27 1858.  Other properties, including numbers 14, and 22 were transferred to John and Emma at the same time.

John & Emma Williams continued to own the house until their deaths, both in 1897.  Before Emma died, she made arrangements for her properties to be transferred to her son, John Hodges Williams.  John accumulated a large estate of property in central Thornbury - click here to see more details of their landholdings.

Following the death of John Hodges Williams in 1934, the property was transferred to his son, Henry William Williams.  Henry moved to London and died in 1960 aged 88.  The properties have continued to be managed by his trustees ever since.
