(undated) - LETTER FROM ARDERNE HULLEY TO BOBBIE
Nanyman
25 March Zululand
My dear Bobbie I was very glad to have your bit of a letter and Ellies which, however, you forgot to post
and I was wondering why no one wrote to me.
I am glad to hear that Ben? is looking so well, but he is very old now and not able to do much work, he is
like his old master in that respect. I have a pony now, and on Saturday I am going to have a large hunt
about 14 miles from here, and will take the pony as I cannot walk as well as I could . We shall have tents
and remain there three days.
I wonder whether Mother would like me to send her a panther skin and a lot of rhinoceros sjamboks and
a rhinoceros head and and some horns. I have them all here as I brought them with me from UBombo? -
there is a fine pair of buffalo horns and a pair of Nyala horns, but they are not very pretty to look at, and
the sjamboks are in the rough and want paring down and polishing and then they will make nice riding
whips - M Corbel must have some of the sjamboks, and perhaps Mother could have the horns and head
made nice and get a chance of sending them to Uncle Durham in London -
You never say how you are doing at school, and I am so anxious to know.
Give my love to Mother, May, & Ellen and I am always
Your affect. Father
Arderne Hulley

Notes on the above letter
1. The letter is undated but there are a few clues in it to narrow down the period in which it was written.
2. I presume that the author is Arderne Hulley (1836-1927) who calls himself ‘Father’. ‘Mother’ will be his wife
Fanny C A who died in 1899.
3. I'm not sure who the recipient ‘Bobbie’ is. The only Bobbie in the family appears to be Jasper Robert
Arderne who was born in 1910, after the death of Arderne’s wife Fanny, so he would not fit in. The only
remaining possibilities are Jasper Done Clarence Hulley, his eldest living son born 1877 or Arthur Henry
Booth Hulley his youngest son born 1883. The letter implies that he is at school so I would speculate that he
is writing to his eldest son Jasper.
4. ‘Uncle Durham’ is the second husband of Ellen his sister born 1837. She married John Durham Hall in
1874. He died in 1898 so the period in question is between 1887 and 1898.
5. May is probably Mary Arderne born 1874 and Ellie is Ellie Gorton born before 1878, both his children.

1925 19 Jan - LETTER FROM PHILIP HOLLAND TO DONE HULLEY (London to Natal Jan 19 1925)

(Envelope) Date stamped London W.C Jan 19 12.45 PM 1925 D Addressed to:
D. Hulley Esq.
The Residency
Stanger
Natal
22 Taviton St.
Gordon Sq. W.C.
Dear Done
I was pleased to hear from you, and note all you tell me. It may be well I should tell you, that in my last
Will my trustees have set aside a sum from my Estate in trust for you. Sums have been allocated
to your sisters May & Ellen. You may have heard this from your father or Ethel? I was free to dispose of
what My father left to me as I choose I did however promise your Father and your Aunt Ellen Hall
(Nee Hully) that I would leave Something to you & May & Ellen. I know nothing of your dad’s disposition
of his Estate The One House Estate he sold however. The property had been in Hulley possession for
generations as perhaps you know.
Now, as I have touched 82 and am in good health with a fair memory, I can put you wise as to Hulleys.
Your grandfather Jasper Hulley married for first wife, a Miss Bostock who owned land. There were two
children Jasper & Mary. The former died of some illness unmarried. Later on, your Grandfather married
my father’s sister Maria Holland of Macclesfield Issue Holland, Arderne, Ellen, Maria, Elizabeth & Anne
(all own cousins to me) Holland died unmarried. Ellen married Dr. Henry Broderick of Indian Medical
Service who saw Service in the Mutiny prior to his marriage. He and Ellen spent some time in India.
Broderick died in India somewhere about 1868 of sunstroke I think. Ellen came home (no family).
Later Ellen married General Durham Hall of Central India Horse. On Hall’s retirement they lived in
London. (No family). Date of Hall’s passing on I don’t at moment recollect.
Ellen continued to live at Brechin Place S.W. until her death, when house passed on to Hall’s people.
Ellen was fortunate in enjoying the pensions from two husbands! Also use of house & furniture, and
some income from W.H. for her life. Maria Hulley married W. Chinner a man of some means. His father
was one of the first to make gas fittings shortly after gas came into use in houses. Maria has presented
you with some cousins (men). I have met only one, and have not kept in touch. Elizabeth married
the Revd. F. Binley Dickinson who was vicar of Ashford (no family). Anne married a parson one
Meurant. They lived near Derby (no family) both dead.
Some 30 years ago I had 13 own cousins. Hollands, Hulleys & Houghtons latter on my mother’s side
whose sister married a Houghton of Chorley Lancashire. All these cousins dead but Three viz. your
father, Jean Macrobin & Major G.F. Holland.
Your father & your Uncle Holland Hulley bought land at the Noodsberg in the fifties and kept Sheep &
cattle; a poor show as to profit. I went out to see them in Jany. 1865 and staid just a year. On my return I
continued my chemical studies in Manchester until death of my father in 1878. He had remarried in 1866
and lived at Windsor.
I can’t say when your dad married and lived at The Wilderness Holland (Hollie) came home and lived
with his half sister Mary in various places. When you write home keep this information to yourself. I am
the only one alive who can give you the details of your father’s connections on the Hulley side, and who
his sisters married of whom only one had children Mrs Chinner.
Your ‘dad’ began life as a mate in the Green’s ships. His first ship was The Windsor of Port of London. He
made voyages to India, Australia, China and possibly Japan and brought home some curiosities. Your
Great Grandfather raised a troop of soldiers at his own expense at time of threatened invasion by
Napoleon I whch ” was greatly to his credit”. All sons of farmers I was told. Napoleon, who had
constructed A flotilla of flat boats, Is reported to have said I have fifty plans for the invasion but not one for
getting back. So he never landed a man on our island.
The Sawyers are in Switzerland. Nesta is an exponent on skates and has won medals. I keep wonderfully
well save for small ailments, but spend the Winter in the house and keep busy with chemical research.
Love to all - affectly
Cousin Philip Holland

PS Did you ever meet John Ogilvie Holland, or his son John C. Holland latter is married has a job
connected with mine ventilation at ‘Joburg’. Formerly did assaying at “Knights Deep”. J.O.H. farmed at
Rietsprint, Transvaal, and died there some 4 years ago. Your dad is in A poorly way. I’m told nearly blind.
He gets to his club however in the morning with Ellie’s help, and chats with his chums.
I much fear these Communists will make for revolution. The Trade Unions sympathetic with them, and
are above the law. They want all mans of production of wealth to belong to the workers - such as mines,
Railways, docks, & ships!! You will read of the wild ideas of abolishing “the tyranny of Capital” in your
newspapers. What is feared is the start of civil war by means of strikes all over the country. … no coal, no
transport, no gas,all the same there will be some killing before all is Ended.

(undated) - LETTER FROM ARDERNE HULLEY TO BOBBIE
Nanyman
25 March Zululand
My dear Bobbie I was very glad to have your bit of a letter and Ellies which, however, you forgot to post
and I was wondering why no one wrote to me.
I am glad to hear that Ben? is looking so well, but he is very old now and not able to do much work, he is
like his old master in that respect. I have a pony now, and on Saturday I am going to have a large hunt
about 14 miles from here, and will take the pony as I cannot walk as well as I could . We shall have tents
and remain there three days.
I wonder whether Mother would like me to send her a panther skin and a lot of rhinoceros sjamboks and
a rhinoceros head and and some horns. I have them all here as I brought them with me from UBombo? -
there is a fine pair of buffalo horns and a pair of Nyala horns, but they are not very pretty to look at, and
the sjamboks are in the rough and want paring down and polishing and then they will make nice riding
whips - M Corbel must have some of the sjamboks, and perhaps Mother could have the horns and head
made nice and get a chance of sending them to Uncle Durham in London -
You never say how you are doing at school, and I am so anxious to know.
Give my love to Mother, May, & Ellen and I am always
Your affect. Father
Arderne Hulley

Notes on the above letter

1. The letter is undated but there are a few clues in it to narrow down the period in which it was written.
2. I presume that the author is Arderne Hulley (1836-1927) who calls himself ‘Father’. ‘Mother’ will be his
wife Fanny C A who died in 1899.
3. I'm not sure who the recipient ‘Bobbie’ is. The only Bobbie in the family appears to be Jasper Robert
Arderne who was born in 1910, after the death of Arderne’s wife Fanny, so he would not fit in. The only
remaining possibility is Arthur Henry Booth Hulley his youngest son born 1883. the letter implies that
he is at school so he could be the Bobbie in question .
4. ‘Uncle Durham’ is the second husband of Ellen his sister born 1837. She married John Durham Hall
in 1874. He died in 1898 so the period in question is between 1874 and 1898.
5. May is probably Mary Arderne born 1874 and Ellie is Ellie Gorton born before 1878, both his children.

Dear Done
I was pleased to hear from you, and note all you tell me. It may be well I should tell you, that in my last
Will my trustees have set aside a sum from my Estate in trust for you. Sums have been allocated
to your sisters May & Ellen. You may have heard this from your father or Ethel? I was free to dispose of
what My father left to me as I choose I did however promise your Father and your Aunt Ellen Hall
(Nee Hully) that I would leave Something to you & May & Ellen. I know nothing of your dad’s disposition
of his Estate The One House Estate he sold however. The property had been in Hulley possession for
generations as perhaps you know.
Now, as I have touched 82 and am in good health with a fair memory, I can put you wise as to Hulleys.
Your grandfather Jasper Hulley married for first wife, a Miss Bostock who owned land. There were two
children Jasper & Mary. The former died of some illness unmarried. Later on, your Grandfather married
my father’s sister Maria Holland of Macclesfield Issue Holland, Arderne, Ellen, Maria, Elizabeth & Anne
(all own cousins to me) Holland died unmarried. Ellen married Dr. Henry Broderick of Indian Medical
Service who saw Service in the Mutiny prior to his marriage. He and Ellen spent some time in India.
Broderick died in India somewhere about 1868 of sunstroke I think. Ellen came home (no family).
Later Ellen married General Durham Hall of Central India Horse. On Hall’s retirement they lived in
London. (No family). Date of Hall’s passing on I don’t at moment recollect.
Ellen continued to live at Brechin Place S.W. until her death, when house passed on to Hall’s people.
Ellen was fortunate in enjoying the pensions from two husbands! Also use of house & furniture, and
some income from W.H. for her life. Maria Hulley married W. Chinner a man of some means. His father
was one of the first to make gas fittings shortly after gas came into use in houses. Maria has presented
you with some cousins (men). I have met only one, and have not kept in touch. Elizabeth married
the Revd. F. Binley Dickinson who was vicar of Ashford (no family). Anne married a parson one
Meurant. They lived near Derby (no family) both dead.
Some 30 years ago I had 13 own cousins. Hollands, Hulleys & Houghtons latter on my mother’s side
whose sister married a Houghton of Chorley Lancashire. All these cousins dead but Three viz. your
father, Jean Macrobin & Major G.F. Holland.
Your father & your Uncle Holland Hulley bought land at the Noodsberg in the fifties and kept Sheep &
cattle; a poor show as to profit. I went out to see them in Jany. 1865 and staid just a year. On my return I
continued my chemical studies in Manchester until death of my father in 1878. He had remarried in 1866
and lived at Windsor.
I can’t say when your dad married and lived at The Wilderness Holland (Hollie) came home and lived
with his half sister Mary in various places. When you write home keep this information to yourself. I am
the only one alive who can give you the details of your father’s connections on the Hulley side, and who
his sisters married of whom only one had children Mrs Chinner.
Your ‘dad’ began life as a mate in the Green’s ships. His first ship was The Windsor of Port of London. He
made voyages to India, Australia, China and possibly Japan and brought home some curiosities. Your
Great Grandfather raised a troop of soldiers at his own expense at time of threatened invasion by
Napoleon I whch ” was greatly to his credit”. All sons of farmers I was told. Napoleon, who had
constructed A flotilla of flat boats, Is reported to have said I have fifty plans for the invasion but not one for
getting back. So he never landed a man on our island.
The Sawyers are in Switzerland. Nesta is an exponent on skates and has won medals. I keep wonderfully
well save for small ailments, but spend the Winter in the house and keep busy with chemical research.
Love to all - affectly
Cousin Philip Holland
PS Did you ever meet John Ogilvie Holland, or his son John C. Holland latter is married has a job
connected with mine ventilation at ‘Joburg’. Formerly did assaying at “Knights Deep”. J.O.H. farmed at
Rietsprint, Transvaal, and died there some 4 years ago. Your dad is in A poorly way. I’m told nearly blind.
He gets to his club however in the morning with Ellie’s help, and chats with his chums.
I much fear these Communists will make for revolution. The Trade Unions sympathetic with them, and
are above the law. They want all mans of production of wealth to belong to the workers - such as mines,
Railways, docks, & ships!! You will read of the wild ideas of abolishing “the tyranny of Capital” in your
newspapers. What is feared is the start of civil war by means of strikes all over the country. … no coal, no
transport, no gas,all the same there will be some killing before all is Ended.
1953 - lived at Cotmaton Cottage, Warblington Road, Emsworth, Hampshire.
1953 01 Apr - died at the War Memorial Hospital Havant, Hampshire. Probate London 15 Dec. granted to Ellie Gorton
Hulley spinster. Effects £3153 16s 8d.
