The Eben family connects to the Man family with the marriage of William Sydenham Ebden to Nancy Claire Marshall on 3 December 1918.

William was the son of Edward James Ebden (1843 -1931) and Mary Bullock.

Edward’s parents were James Collett Ebden and Eliza Wylde (1802-1880) . They were married on  2 September 1828 at St. Michael’s Church, Millbrook in Bedfordshire.

Eliza was the daughter of Captain Sydenham Teast Wylde and Elizabeth Dorothea Powney.

Another daughter – Harriet Wylde – married Abraham John Valpy. [For more on the Wylde family see below]

Above, John Ebden (1751-1834) the father of James Collett Ebden. This John married Elizabeth Collett and died at Haughley, Suffolk (where his sepulchral tomb is). John was an army surgeon who is said to have taken part in the American War of Independence. A separate pdf file of Ebden family descendants can be shared upon request.

Below from the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Volume 45:

James Collett Ebden was born at Loddon, Norfolk, on the 16th of August, 1794, and died at the vicarage, Great Stukeley, Hunts, on February 15, 1884, in the 90th year of his age, being at that date the Senior Fellow of the Society. He was tho son of Mr. John Ebden of Haughley, Suffolk, by his second wife Elizabeth, daughter of Anthony Collett, Esq., of Eyke, and granddaughter of Robert May, Esq., of Sutton, Suffolk, who was High Sheriff of Suffolk in 1758. The Suffolk family of Collett had been settled in the county from the fifteenth century, and was a branch of the Colletts or Colets of Wendover, of whom was Sir Henry Colet, twice Lord Mayor of London, and father of the celebrated Dean of St. Paul’s. Mr. Ebden received his school education at Stowmarket, whence he proceeded in 1813 to Caius College, Cambridge. He graduated in 1816 as sixth wrangler, having amongst his competitors Dr. Whewell, the late Master of Trinity College, second wrangler, Professor Cape, fifth wrangler, and Richard Sheepshanks, sometime Vice-President of the Society, tenth wrangler. He was elected in 1816-17 a Fellow of Caius College, and in 1817-18 Fellow and Tutor of Trinity Hall, which post he held for ten years, numbering amongst his pupils Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, the late Lord Lytton, and other distinguished members of the college and university.  In 1821-22 he was appointed Vice-Master of Trinity Hall. He married in 1828 Eliza, daughter of Sydenham Feast Wylde, Esq., of the 7th Hussars, and granddaughter of Penyston Portlock Powney, Esq., M.P. for Windsor.

[After he left Cambridge James was an Eton tutor, which must be how he met his wife, and among his pupils were two great nephews of the Duke of Wellington. After Eton he was then Headmaster of Ipswich School and then became Vicar of Great Stukeley (and Rector of Abbots Ripton), Huntingdonshire.]

Mr. Ebden was one of the original members of the Athenaeum Club and of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, the annual meetings of which society he attended without intermission till he was past eighty years of age. He was distinguished as a classical and English scholar, and was well versed in the languages and literatures of several foreign countries. He was associated with Messrs. Riddle and Arnold in their lexicographical undertakings, and he is believed to have been engaged in earlier life upon other literary and scientific work, although he has not left any record by which it can be ascertained and verified. He was nevertheless possessed of accurate and very varied scientific knowledge, and took a warm interest in the objects and proceedings of the British Association until he was confined to his home by increasing age and infirmity.

Mr. Ebden was elected a Fellow of the Society on June 9, 1820.
