| 8. | Albinia Frances Hayward (6.Elizabeth3, 4.Elizabeth2, 1.Thomas1) was born on 29 Jul 1773; died on 19 May 1860. Notes:
Was always much attached to Oldbury having been born there.
At the time of her marriage her father did not have possession of Quedgeley and did not declare his intention of making her an "elder son" until after her husbands death.
As a widow assumed upon succeeding her father in 1818 the name, arms of Hayward and the Quedgeley property.
The donative of Quedegely used to belong to the Dukes of Manchester. In William HW's time it belonged to a Mrs Fletcher the widow of a clergyman. She asked an exorbitant sum for it, and when he refused to give it she cut down some fine old elms in the churchyard to spite him though he offered twice what they were worth if she would leave them standing. Soon afterwards the donative was put up for auction and bought cheaply by Mrs Curtis. Before completing Mrs Fletcher told her that she had made a good purchase and one likely to increase in value since after the death of the present owner of Quedegely his succesor would probably enclose the common, "no " said Mrs Curtis " I am not the least likely to do that." After the sale Mrs Fletcher sent to fetch away the felled trees but was stopped by William HW who pointed out that they were now his daughter's property.
Lived at 18 Park S't Bath where her father probably died. She took over 13 Great Bedford S't from Phillip stanbury and was there in 1822 but not in 1826
