Are The Ponton Family Of Longbridge Deverill Related By Marriage To The Artist Harry Fidler?

Friday 25th May 2012

Eric Ponton, who lives in North Yorkshire, is researching his family tree and trying to find out if his family is connected by marriage with the family of the artist, Harry Fidler.

Harry Fidler was born at Teffont Magna in 1851, the ninth of ten children of yeoman farmer William Fidler and his wife Jane Fidler. Harry Fidler spent his early years working on the farm, which no doubt accounts for his later career, painting country scenes, many of which portrayed heavy horses at work on the farm.

Fidler studied at Herkomer’s School at Bushey (later known as the School of Animal painting), under the famous equestrian artist, Lucy Kemp Welch. Fidler exhibited at the Royal Academy, London from 1891 onwards. He also exhibited at the the Royal Society of British Artists, the New English Art Club, the Goupil Gallery in London, and the Paris Salon.

In 1919 Harry Fidler married a fellow artist, Laura Clunas, and they made their home at the White House, Stoke, Andover, Hampshire, where they lived until Harry’s death in 1935.

Eric Ponton writes ~ My main interest is the Ponton family who were very prevalent in Warminster from about 1680 until the early 20th century. On your site, dannyhowell.net, you have grave locations for some Pontons in Warminster. All of these are my relatives.

In particular I am concerned with Thomas Ponton, born 1787 in Longbridge Deverill. He married Mary Ann Fidler, 11th April 1811, at Longbridge Deverill.

I have traced Mary Ann Fidler’s ancestors back to John Fidler, born 1735 at Great Bedwyn; and I am now trying to ascertain whether or not there is a connection with Harry Fidler the artist. I have had great difficulty in tracing his ancestors and wonder if you have any information which might assist.

If any readers of dannyhowell.net can shed any light as to whether Mary Ann Fidler (who married Thomas Ponton) was related to the family of Harry Fidler, please let us know, by emailing dannyhowellnet@gmail.com
