ELIZABETH AGNES CHADWICK (1915-)
Alice (Kirk-Owen) Maitland's mother Elisabeth Chadwick was born in 1915 in
Canada, but of an Irish family who were the descendants of William Chadwick (b
1636, the first documented Irish Chadwick and were latterly always known as the
Chadwicks of Ballinard) who established himself in Tipperary. The families,
even in Canada, seem to have stuck with the Irish diaspora: the only non Irish
line was that of the Bells & Barclays: John Craven Chadwick, jnr, married
Louisa Bell before moving to Canada.
The family was thoroughly researched and documented by Edward Marion
Chadwick, a barrister in Toronto and brother of Frederick Jasper Chadwick,
around about 1900. EM Chadwick’s researches were extensive, but in summary, “the
family of Chadwick is said to have descended from a Saxon Chieftain, Cedde, or
Caedde, who, at the time of the Norman conquest, lived near Rochdale on the
border of Yorkshire and Lancashire in a place named from him Caeddes-wyck:
Chad's stronghold, from which his descendants subsequently took the surname
Chaddewyk”.
The Canadian branch of the family descended from William who, possibly
under Cromwellian influence, moved to Tipperary, William to Gortnekilleen
Cullen, and his brother Richard to Ballinard, Tipperary, Ireland. Both
properties were close together, about half way between Limerick and Tipperary.
On Richard’s death, Ballinard came under the ownership of William and remained
within the family until the 20thC.
Several generations later, John Craven Chadwick (1811-1889) emigrated with
his wife Louisa Bell to Ontario, Canada, soon after his wedding in Ireland in
1837. Little is known of him except for his militia service and a church
involvement. One of their sons, Frederick Jasper became a prominent businessman
and newspaper owner in Guelph. Frederick married Elizabeth Stewart also of
Ontario but from a Northern Irish family (Antrim), her Great Aunt and Godmother
(Kitty Pakenham) married Arthur Wellesley and became Duchess of Wellington. Their
3rd son, Frederick Austin Pakenham Chadwick was raised in Ontario.
He took Holy Orders, and started his ministry in Arthur, Ontario, where he met
his future 1st wife, Alberta Dice; while in Windsor, Ont, he met his
2nd wife, Creina Henderson; their daughter was Elisabeth Chadwick.
He later took on a parish in Vancouver, BC. See the Henderson
Genealogy.
Louisa Bell was of a family of Quaker merchants, originally from
Cumberland, but moved to London in 1703. Her great grandfather, Daniel, was an
eminent minister in the Society of Friends. He had a variety of commercial and
industrial interests via the Society. One real puzzle is how John Craven
Chadwick from Tipperary met Louisa Bell from Tottenham in London. There is no
indication how John Craven Chadwick and Louisa Bell met: there is no sign
anywhere of any connection, and their almost immediate emigration to Canada,
but I makes some speculation in the Bell family section.
The Stewart & Pakenham familes are described in more detail in their
own volume, but they descend from the Stewarts of Tyrcallen, sometime lawyers
in Antrim, and the Pakenham family, also of Antrim, the titled branch being the
Lords Longford. The Pakenhams have a genealogy stretching back to Norman times.
The Stewart volume has some interesting letters from Edward Michael, the
Canadian emigrant to his parents.
One of the early English ancestors was David Barclay, whose son was one of
the founders of Barclays Bank, along with Joseph Freame. Katherine Barclay was
the grandmother of Louisa Bell.
Footnote to EMC Page 44: David Barclay was of Royal descent thus:
Sir John Beaufort, Earl of Somerset and Marquis of Dorset, son of John of
Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster and grandson of King Edward the III married Margaret
daughter of Thomas Holland, Earl of Kent and grandson of Joan the "Fair
Maid of Kent", who was granddaughter of King Edward I. Their daughter,
Joan was married to King James I of Scotland, whose daughter, the Princess
Annabella was married to George Gordon, Earl of Huntly, from whom descended
Catherine Gordon, married in 1648 to Col David Barclay of Urie, co. Kincardine,
whose son Robert Barclay was the father of the said David Barclay. These were
the Barclay family who became bankers.
Ballinard:
This house was the seat of the Chadwick family in the 18th and 19th
centuries. The present house dates from the early 19th century and incorporates
parts of an older building. John Chadwick was resident in 1814 and William
Chadwick in 1837 and at the time of Griffith's Valuation. The house was valued
at £33 and held from the Earl of Portarlington. The Chadwicks were still living
at Ballinard at the beginning of the 20th century.[1]
By the end of the 17th century the Chadwick family was established at
Ballinard, county Tipperary. In 1738 Richard Chadwick of Ballinard married as
his first wife Rebecca Ellard. In 1799 John Craven Chadwick married Elizabeth
daughter of Samuel Cooper of Killenure Castle, county Tipperary. They had seven
sons and four daughters. The eldest son William had three daughters and when he
died in 1876 he was succeeded by his son in law Richard Austin Cooper, who
assumed the additional name of Chadwick. At the time of Griffith's Valuation
William Chadwick held land in the parishes of Shronell and Solloghodmore,
barony of Clanwilliam and Donohill, barony of Kilnamanagh Lower, while Mrs Anne
Chadwick held land in the parish of Shronell and the representatives of Richard
Chadwick in the parish of Cullen. In the 1870s William's grandson William
Cooper Chadwick owned 882 acres in county Tipperary. In November 1882 the
estate of Thomas Dowling at Clonbrick and Cotifiagh, barony of Clanwilliam, was
advertised for sale. Richard Cooper Chadwick was the tenant.[2]
John Kelly of Hillview, Chadville, Cappawhite Co. Tipperary Ireland wrote in
2002:
…… the Houses of the Chadwick Family Ballinard and Chadville formerly known as
Bearna Dhearg were owned by two different Denis Kelly's. Bearna Dhearg's name
was changed to Chadville owning to the name Chadwick and the "Ville"
meaning house or place….. See under Rev Richard Chadwick (Appendix 7.8) for
more on these houses.
Irish Estates Commission:
The Chadwick lands in Tipperary were rented, many from the Damer family. They
appear in the Irish Encumbered Estates Commission reports from 1855 onwards.
This Commission was set up to deal with the big Irish estates being rendered
bankrupt after the Irish famine: they had too many fixed liabilities and so
many tenants either defaulted, died or left Ireland.
There are may references to the Ballinard area.
Also some to the Pakenhams.
The hope of emigrants is that they and their families will have a better life in their new country, including improved employment opportunities for themselves and educational and employment opportunities for their children. For many of the early Irish immigrants to Upper Canada (Ontario), who were predominantly landed gentry, this meant the opportunity to become part of a colonial landed gentry class that owned rather than leased their land as they had in Ireland.
Many of the landed class may also have expected to recreate
the life they had enjoyed in Ireland, that is, that they would have large
landholdings and lease out smallholdings to those who would actually farm the
land. However, in Upper Canada, while farmers commonly used hired labour to
assist them, government land grants generally reflected the family size,
particularly the number of sons, and thus a landowner could not initially
expect to accumulate large estates or to live off rents from their land.
Instead, their land allocations reflected what they and their older sons could
realistically farm themselves, they would be actively involved on the farm and
they depended on profits from the sale of their agricultural produce. (from a
paper on an unrelated family).

Footnotes contain other matters which should not be on web pages such as email

The bulk of the Chadwick history up to about 1900 is from The works of
Edward Marion Chadwick, extended by other sources as given in the text. That of
the Bells and Barclays has been greatly extended from other sources.
Much of the earlier Chadwick information comes from a family history
compiled by Edward Marion Chadwick (his text here), of Toronto (EMC), at the end of the 19thC. Some is
quoted verbatim. Its veracity is not known, but agrees with other sources, but
it may in fact have been used as the primary source for other supposed
independent write-ups.
This volume contains relevant lines from EMC, but some of
the indirect lines are not included here unless additional information has come
to light.
Most internet databases are approximate, probably from sources such as EMC
inserted by others. All Ontario relevant entries are included.[3]
EMC: Edward Marion Chadwick
His diaries from 1858-1921 were microfilmed, and copies held by the Archives of the Diocese of Toronto, and another to the Canadian Heraldic Authority in Ottawa. (the former was reported as lost in 2001)[4]. This diary apparently has a lot of social content and might be worth looking at for other family references
CGT: The Chadwicks of Guelph and Toronto and Their Cousins, by EMC.
These two publications are very similar, and have been the primary sources for the outline of the Chadwick family. This outline has been “fleshed out” by other sources, particularly the Bell/Barclay lines.

A PEDIGREE OF A FAMILY NAMED BELL OF HUNDITH HILL IN COCKERMOUTH, CUMBERLAND[i]
Part of a small archive relating to this Bell family, the pedigree was written by one of their number in an otherwise blank booklet printed in the late 19th century. It is not clear whether some of the dates given relate to baptisms or births, the dates being pre-fixed solely with a ‘B’. Many of this family were staunch Quakers, and some of their correspondence is published separately (see under correspondence).

Betty and Creina, looks like it was taken at the cottage in Hampshire
Born5: 17/8/1915, Victoria BC, St John’s Rectory,
1611, Quadra Street.
Parents: Frederick Austin Pakenham & Creina (Henderson) Chadwick.
(She claimed to be born 1916 after Alice was born - no young mother should be
over 40!)
Married, 1st5, William Beatty-Chamberlain, Lt RNVR, married
16/3/1941 at St John's Church, Victoria BC. His father was a doctor in the Isle
of White. According to Betty, his sister married Wingate of Burma fame but this
does not appear to be so. Went to St John's Newfoundland June 1941 on SS
Baccalieu. EAC joined him for 1940/41. His parents had new house 1156 Goodwin
St, June 1940.
They were married on a Sunday as he was on a ship that had to go to the
Atlantic at 24 hours notice. Betty I later papers says she was married 1940,
but if it was on Sunday 16th, it must have been 1941 as I originally recorded.
Married, 2nd5, Reginald (Rex) Kirk-Owen, Victoria, BC, 25/3/1949; he
died 1959. More about Rex Kirk-Owen
Married, 3rd, Richard Leveson Vernon, 1978, Titley, Herefordshire.
Married, 4th, Ronald Stuart Thomas, 17/8/1995,
Died: 26/8/2012, Bryn Awelon Nursing Home, Criccieth, Wales at the age of 97.
Her funeral service was at St Johns Church, Porthmadog, Wales, with a cremation
afterwards at Bangor. The service was conducted by Dr Barry Morgan, Archbishop
of Wales, who referred to her as feisty lady in his address. A party, as
instructed in her will, followed at Portmerion Hotel in North Wales.
Issue5: Alice Charlotte Kirk-Owen, 3/10/56-14/3/97, married Antony
Maitland, author of this text.
Betty was born in Victoria BC to her father's second
wife, his first having died accidentally; he was, by her account an priest of
the old style, with an extensive knowledge of the classics. Their life sounded
rather Victorian in style: she had a governess until age about 10 when she went
to Norfolk House School, Victoria, staying there until about 16 or 17. She had
some further education at BC university. She did some volunteer nursing before
and during the war. She had 2 older, half brothers, Freddy and Jack, who seemed
to have spoilt her as a child: the arrival of her younger brother took some of
the attention away from her....
She married William Beatty-Chamberlain in 1941, moving with him to
Newfoundland almost immediately after their marriage, she travelling overland
by train, he by naval ship through the Panama canal. She was a Red Cross nurse
in St John's for a period between arrival in 1941 and her return to BC later in
the war, about the time the Japanese landed on Vancouver Island.
Worked at Comox Hospital (Vancouver Island BC) before marriage.
After she and Rex were married in 1949, they lived in Prince George (North
of Vancouver) for a while where Rex had a cold storage business which was not
successful.
She and Rex met first about 1940 (in a streetcar), but did not re-meet until
after the War, when Betty had been married to WBC, and Rex to Jocelyn Farmer.
In about 1950, they left BC for Toronto by car via California, Mexico and
Southern US, Washington etc, staying with brother Freddy in California. Worked
in The Whitney Block, Toronto. Lived in 83, Centre Street West, Richmond Hill,
Ontario, Nr. Toronto for about 12 months. Sailed from Montreal 25/10/1952.
On arrival in London, they first lived in Norfolk Sq, Holland Street (28A).
Rex worked as an engineer for London Council before studying for the Bar. While
in his pupillage, he worked late nights for the GPO to supplement their income
(trainee lawyers were not paid at the time). After Alice's birth, they moved
out of London to a cottage called Tudor Thatch Cottage, Oakhanger, Bordon,
Hampshire, owned by John Burton's wife, Jacqueline, who had lived near them in
London, and then to Ropley (Hampshire). They later bought Blagdon House,
Keevil, Wiltshire, where Rex died. Betty worked 6 months in Bath after Rex
died.
Betty somewhat later moved to live with Richard Vernon, a friend from Keevil,
in a rented house in Bwlch, near Eglwsfach, where they met RS Thomas, who was
the incumbent at the time (1954-1967). They moved again to Bryn Gwyn, Llanegrin,
near Twyn, Wales where Alice grew up. After Alice left Dr Williams School in
Dolgellau for Hatherop Castle in Gloucestershire, about 1971, Betty and Richard
bought Burcher Cottage, Titley, Herefordshire, which was nearer for Alice's
schooling (a convenience so that Betty could get to the school more quickly to
extract Alice from scrapes). Here Betty involved herself extensively in the
local social scene and was a member of the Hereford sketching club.
I, Antony Maitland, can make an unusual claim: to have given my
mother-in-law away in marriage not just once, but twice; she came back each time.

As read (& Composed) by grand daughter Isabel at Betty’s
funeral
As I am sure you can all calculate, I came late onto the scene in Granny’s
life. From all accounts, before my arrival Granny had already seen and done so
much. Anecdotes from each part of her life suggest that her attitude was to
squeeze in as much as possible all done with enthusiasm and panache.
Elisabeth Agnes, or Betty as she was known, was born in the town of Victoria,
in British Columbia, Canada on 17th August 1915. The year of her birth had in
fact, until quite recently, been noted down as a year later, 1916. To all who
needed to know or indeed bravely asked, Betty would have had you believe that
she was born in 1916, not 1915. This discrepancy was only uncovered recently
when my father was undertaking some family history research. When he questioned
her about the year difference, Betty turned to Daddy and said “well, no young
mother should be over 40!” A neat reversal of her birth date by a year meant she
was 39 when Mummy was born! Betty remained in Canada for her school days and
young life before moving to London with Rex Kirk Owen, her then husband, in
1952. Granny may have left her home country behind when she was relatively
young but she successfully retained her distinctive Canadian twang for ever
more. They settled into life in England, with Rex studying at the Bar. After
mummy’s birth, in 1956, they moved out of London to Hampshire. Initially
renting a cottage, they soon bought Blagdon House in Keevil where they remained
until Rex died, three short years later, in 1959.
After this sad moment in Granny’s life, her tough survival attitude kicked in.
Not to be defeated, she dusted herself down and soon found friendship and
ultimately marriage with Richard Vernon. Richard was a kind, gentle country
loving man who became my mother’s father in all but name, known fondly as Uncle
Richard. They, with mummy, moved away from Hampshire to North Wales where
Granny’s love of this part of the world began. They spent ten happy years near
Twyn until practicalities required them to leave and move just over the border
to Titley, in Herefordshire. Here Granny involved herself extensively in the
local community and social scene. As a child, I can remember large Christmas
drinks parties, Lent soup lunches and the annual attendance at the local Point
to Point and Hunt Meets. Life at Burcher Cottage continued in this vein for
over 20 years until Richard’s death in 1996. During this time, Granny was not
wholly occupied with the social whirl of the area but was also dedicated to
looking after her daughter, my mother, during her illness. Granny tirelessly
gave support and practical help during this difficult time.
By the mid 1990’s, Granny was a woman in her 70’s. One would imagine,
therefore, that life would start to slow down. Not a bit. She found herself in
a whirlwind romance with the poet RS Thomas. Leaving Herefordshire behind, they
returned to North Wales to live firstly in Anglesey and then to the local
village of Pentrefelin. They married in 1996, on her 81st birthday I may add,
and Daddy believes he may be one of few to claim that he has given his
mother-in-law away not once but twice – to both Richard and Ronald!
Granny played a large role in the formative years of the life of me and my
brother. Here are some stories, albeit through the eyes of a child, which I
hope give a flavour of the Betty you all may have known and remember. When we
were small, she used to collect us from school and the parcel shelf of the car
was always so full of delicious treats that she quickly earned the title of
“Snack Trolley Granny”. She was a devil in the kitchen too. Historic roasts on
a Sunday; followed by vanilla ice-cream and butterscotch sauce; light fluffy
Angel cakes for everyone’s birthdays; and lashings of brandy butter at
Christmas.
In the school holidays, Granny would whisk Ollie and me off to stay in Tenby in
West Wales or to the Basil Street Hotel in London to give our parents a well
earned break. I distinctly remember how deeply impressed I was that you could
leave your shoes outside your bedroom door in the evening at the Basil Street
and they would reappear in the morning shining brilliantly. These trips were
always full of generous treats and fun activities but there was never any doubt
about who was in charge. Granny! Any step out of line and firm granny made a
brief appearance.
Trips away were not limited to the confines of the UK. In fact, Granny was
rather more adventurous than that. Quite regularly, even when she was in her
70s, she would disappear to a far flung part of Europe. I remember her
returning from Albania in the mid 80’s when it was far from being the most
stable country. She happily recounted to us that she had returned from the trip
with barely a thing left in her suitcase having given clothes and cosmetics to
women she had met who had nothing. Carefree, generous and adventurous indeed
she could be.
Much of what Granny did was finished with a jaunty twist. Her rather
traditional kilt skirts were always teamed with a matching jumper and tights
topped off by a quirky beret and a slick of red lipstick. If you looked closely
at home, little details hinted at her charming eccentricity - ribbons tied
around the TV remote control, corners of cupboards, and walking sticks so they
were easy to find; a bizarre collection of alcoholic drinks from herby
Chartreuse to the angostura bitters to make her famous drink, Pink Gin; and
funny little ornaments and keep sakes from every place she had ever visited.
Even the type of cigarette that Granny smoked was more colourful and exotic
than others. An annual Christmas request was a packet of the brightly coloured
cocktail cigarettes made by Sobraine. In fact, one artist painted her and
entitled the piece “Sobraine, So Beti”. Impressively, this twinkle and original
personality never went away. In the nursing home we did not make trips down the
lane in a wheel chair but in her “chariot”; she would tell me she didn’t want
to eat too much so that she could keep “her girlish figure”; and when
Christopher first met her she surreptitiously asked him to pop some gin into
her plastic beaker.
Finally, I leave you with a thought from Winston Churchill, perhaps less
serious than such a situation demands but certainly in keeping with the
carefree, slightly naughty livewire Granny was – “I am ready to meet my Maker,
Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another
matter”.

Died5: 21/12/1952, Oak Bay, Victoria BC. (BC Deaths Index)
Frederick Chadwick was born and raised in Ontario, the son of a local
businessman: both his parents were first generation Ontarians, of Irish
families. He entered the church in 1896 in Ontario. He was married twice, his
first wife dying of heart failure in 1902, leaving him with 2 sons. He married
his 2nd wife in 1912, by which time he had moved to Vancouver; she
was Creina Henderson, from Windsor Ontario. He spent the remainder of his life
in British Columbia, initially in Vancouver and later in Victoria.
He was a gentle, erudite man (keen on the Classical languages), helped by a
strong wife. He was a diabetic. He was a graduate of Trinity College Dublin (or

"NEW RECTOR PREACHES FIRST SERMON HERE"
"Rev F.A.P. Chadwick to be Inducted at St Paul's Church on Thursday
Evening"
"Rev F.A.P. Chadwick, who has just arrived from his old parish in Windsor,
Ont., to take up his work as rector of St Paul's Church, preached his first
sermon to his new congregation on Sunday morning. The new rector has a quiet
style of speaking, with slow generous gestures, with which he emphasizes the
many natural illustrations of his discourse.
"For the first sermon at St Paul's Mr Chadwick chose the text from the
Eighty-fourth Psalm, "Blessed are they that dwell in thy house. They shall
go from Strength to Strength".
A précis of the sermon followed.
"PASTOR AND BRIDE RECEIVED"
More than two hundred of the congregation of St Paul's Church were present
at the reception which was given last night in the Church hall in honour of

honeymoon. Mr and Mrs Chadwick were married in Windsor, Ont., where Mr Chadwick
had charge of a congregation. The chair was occupied by Bishop De Pancier,
Archbishop Pentreath of Columbia, also being on the platform. In his address of
welcome, the bishop spoke of the warm feeling which existed between the pastor
of St Paul's and his congregation, and stated when he presented to Mrs Chadwick
a beautiful bouquet of chrysanthemums that it was a token from the congregation
of which she was to be one of the guardians.
In reply to the address Rev. Mr. Chadwick warmly thanked them for the welcome
they had given to himself and his wife on their return. There was a splendid
musical programme during the evening.[8]
A

the bridal party during signing of the register they sang “O Perfect Love”.
Miss Henderson who was given in marriage by hei father,
was attended by her sister. Miss Kathleen Henderson in brown moiré with a large

and the Northwest, amid showers of confetti from a large number of friends who

OLD DEAD SHOT,
CAR CAPTURED
The credit and .the reward for capturing “Old Dead Shot" Colonel” Stanley in his ”one-shot’’ Cleveland Six. in which he arrived in San Francisco last Monday, goes to John P. D. Chadwick of Blythe, Witter & Co.
Hailing Colonel Stanley and his wife as they drove along Mission street about 10:30 a. m., Chadwick drove his car across the street ahead of the couple and called on them to submit to him.
With a laugh, the colonel held up his hands and said: “You’ve got us, son; get in the car and take ii ride up to the Chandler-Cleveland Motor Company and get the reward."
Upon arrival at the local establishment: of the company, Chadwick was presented with a check as a reward. Sales Manager Charles Bowman praised; Chadwick highly for his cleverness.
Scores of people had attempted to intercept “Dead Shot" during the early morning hours, but the swiftness of the Cleveland and the alertness of the colonel had made possible his escape. One pair of young men hailed the colonel at the beach, but were informed that he could only be apprehended in the city limits. They followed in, making a vain attempt to keep pace with the 1925 Cleveland, but were lost somewhere in the winding paths of Forest Hill when : the Cleveland broke all speed laws.
Following the arrival here the colonel spent some time with members of the Chandler-Cleveland Motor Car Company sales organization, telling them of the performance features of the Cleveland on its cross-country: trip, his enthusiasm over the new “one-shot" lubrication system of the car and the positive reliability of the automobile under all weather and road conditions.
On Wednesday a parade of automobiles through the city paid further tribute to "Dead Shot" Stanley and the Cleveland Six automobile which he drives, over a score of automobile being in the line.[16]

Lieut. Chadwick Says New U-Boats Slugged It Out With Surface Guns
X By JOHN LEBLANC
A NORTH ATLANTIC PORT (CP) — Nazi submarines surfaced and slugged it out with
Canadian and British warships in the Atlantic convoy battle which marked the
resurgence of U-boat activities and in which the Canadian destroyer St. Croix
was lost.
Men on Canadian ships in the fight told here how the Germans, instead of
seeking safety by submerging, boldly remained on top and pitted their gunfire
against that of the escort ships at close range. Apparently more strongly armed
than previously, they showed a strong disinclination toward turning tail, the
Canadians said.
And they did get one escort vessel by surface gunfire—the British frigate
Itchen, which went down with many of the survivors of the St. Croix, which the
Itchen had picked up after the St. Croix was torpedoed a day earlier.
In wolf-pack formation, the submarines attacked strongly for days, staging one
of the heaviest scraps ever engaged in on the Atlantic. The battle began
Sunday, Sept. 19.
“The same day some ships were attacked,” said Lieut. E. Maurice Chadwick, a big
fellow from Victoria who is first lieutenant on one of the Canadian ships that
took part in the fight .The officer, who sports a luxuriant red beard,
described the action.
(A son of Canon F. A. P. Chadwick, 1156 Goodwin Street, Lieut. Chadwick was
mentioned in dispatches November, 1942, for “courage, resolution and devotion
to duty")
“Our ship dropped depth charges over the spot where we figured the submarine
was”
Lieut. Chadwick said. On the way the vessel passed survivors in the water. The
submarines were heavily attacked that night.
Late Monday they started up new attacks on the convoy. It
was then that the St. Croix was sunk.
ALL-NIGHT SKIRMISH
“Afterwards, they kept attacking,
but we had no trouble shaking them off for the rest of the night,” Lieut.
Chadwick said. 'The skirmishing went on all night, though.
*The Polyanthus and the Itchen were in on that (loss of both these ships
already has been announced), but we were off to one side of the convoy and
didn't get in on much of this.'*
That night the Polyanthus was sunk. The next night—Tuesday - the U boats got
the Itchen, said Lieut. Chadwick. “We were just astern of her.”
On this particular ship the crews were “dosed up**—meaning they were standing
by at their action stations—for a full six hours. All told, the men on this
ship put in 79 hours at action stations on the voyage.
The last message from the St Croix was from her captain— Lt-Cmdr. A. H Dobson
of Halifax, one of the missing, saying he was quitting the ship.
Men of another Canadian Navy vessel told here of getting the final signal from
the St Croix and then seeing her go under as the result of two torpedo hits.
She was struck first as she chased a sub that was trying to get a the convoy
she was defending,
An aircraft had sighted the sub and the St. Croix was racing for the spot when
the first explosion ripped her. It put her out of commission, and the crippled
vessel was lying without headway when another torpedo struck.
NIGHT IN BOATS
Survivors of the four-stacker spent the night in boats before the British
frigate Itchen picked them up. But the Itchen herself was doomed to go down the
next night, carrying with her all except one of the Canadians—Stoker Bill
Fisher of Black Diamond, Alta.
Describing the death of the Itchen, Lieut. Chadwick said:
“We were just astern of her, when she got it.”
“Both of us were, chasing the same surfaced submarine. The Itchen engaged her
at about 300 yards. We were another 600 yards off as they exchanged fire.* “Then
those aboard this vessel saw’ the Itchen suddenly disintegrate in a glaring
explosion, apparently from a lucky hit from the sub’s gun. As the other warship
threw up star shells for illumination, those on her could see a 500-foot pillar
of smoke that marked the spot where the Itchen had been.
“We ran right past,’* said Lieut. Chadwick, “and all w could see was a patch of
oil and a calcium flare.”
His ship was too busy to look for survivors—it still had the sub to cope with—but
later a merchant ship picked up three men who had lived through the blast. One
of these was Stoker Fisher, He was taken to another port is aboard the
merchantman.

His Obit:
MAURICE CHADWICK, 87 SAILOR AMD PAINTER
He survived 'mutiny' on HMCS Uganda to command destroyers in the Cold War
A senior officer aboard Canada's biggest ship during the Second World War, he watched the crew make military history by voting itself out of the conflict. In retirement he became a marine artist.
Just 17 days before Japan surrendered to the Allies on Aug. 14. 1945, HMCS Uganda slipped away from the fighting in the Pacific and headed home to the naval base at Esquimalt B.C.
It was not a happy voyage, to say the least. Six weeks earlier, (600 sailors out of Uganda's crew of 900 had voted not to volunteer to continue the war against the Japanese. even though they'd spent five months fighting the enemy as part of the 4th Cruiser Squadron of the British Pacific Fleet.
Astonishingly, the RCN's most powerful ship of the Second World War was "the only ship in recorded naval history whose own company had actually voted her out of a war." wrote Tony German in his 1990 book The Sea is at Our Gates.- A History of the Canadian Navy.
Uganda's executive officer. LCdr Ernest (Chad) Chadwick was mortified. After spending almost all of the war al sea fighting the Germans and the Japanese, he felt he deserved to be present at the end to help finish the job.
The trouble started when Prime Minister Mackenzie King, mindful that a federal election would be held in June of 1945, decreed that only volunteers would be sent to the Pacific theatre of operations. He arrived at his decision against all military advice. When the news reached Ugan¬da, there was general incredulity and the crew immediately took sides in a bitter difference of opinion.
Mr. Chadwick, the ship's second-in-command, tried his best to convince his shipmates to sign on the dotted line and stay m the war, but many sailors were fed up for a variety of reasons.
Uganda had been built for northern climates and was badly ventilated, which made living difficult in the heat of the Far East. Fresh water was always In short supply and the food, provided by the Royal Navy, was poor.
"Canadian sailors weren't alone in their discomfort. Most had endured tough years at sea, growled and got on with it. They'd signed on to fight. II they were told to go somewhere they'd go. But give anyone in any fleet the choice of the Pacific war or going home, wrote Mr. German.
Naval headquarters in Ottawa didn't know what to do. How could they quickly replace 600 men? What about the 300 who wanted to stay? Suddenly, they were entitled to 30 days leave back home before shipping out to the Pacific again. The controversy was an administrative disaster, so the brass decided to take the easy way out and recall Uganda.
The son of an Anglican clergyman who wanted him to study medicine. Chad Chadwick grew up in Victoria. The call of the sea proved too strong, and he spent most of his free time sailing his open sloop in the waters off Vancouver Island. By then, he had also started producing accomplished watercolours and drawings.
Al 17, he decided he wanted to be a naval officer and passed the entrance examination for the Royal Navy's Vindictive program, which trained young men from the dominions for a career in the "Senior Service." There were no opportunities for him in the RCN of that era, since it boasted less than a dozen ships.
After graduating, he was posted to HMS Revenge, a battleship sporting 15-inch guns. In August of 1939, he and Revenge took part in the reserve fleet review, where King George VI inspected the ships preparing for war. "I was midshipman of [Revenge's] launch at the time and distinctly recall lying to and saluting as the Royal Barge steamed down the lines, and meeting King George's eyes as he passed a few yards away," wrote Mr. Chadwick.
The Second World War erupted the following month and by 1941 Mr Chadwick had transferred to the RCN. His first ship was HMCS Skeena. where he earned a "mention in dispatches" for his part in the sinking of U-588 in the North Atlantic on July 31, 1942. "This officer displayed great coolness and skill during the long period of attacks under difficult conditions." the citation read "He proved himself to be capable of rapid and accurate thinking."
After Skeena. Mr. Chadwick served on Gatineau, a River-class destroyer he got to command for 39 glorious days at the end of 1943. He was just 22, and was at that time the RCN's youngest commanding officer. His tender age didn't prevent him from growing a luxurious beard, though. He kept it for the rest of his life.
And then came HMCS Uganda, 11,700-tonne cruiser originally commissioned by the Royal Navy in 1942 and acquired by the RCN two years later. With the latest steam turbines and nine six inch guns, the Uganda should have been the hardest-hitting ship In the fleet. Instead, after the so-called "mutiny," the cruiser meekly set a course for home.
What should have been a triumphant return became a sad and pathetic voyage. Stopping in Pearl Harbour to refuel, Uganda was ignored by the U.S. Navy, wrote Marc Milner in his 1999 book Canada's Navy: The First Century. "No admirals paid their respects, no bands played, and no ceremony was observed."
For Mr. Chadwick, the whole sorry episode left an unpleasant taste in his mouth. "With our tails between our legs and wounded pride we slunk back to Esquimalt," he wrote decades later in an unpublished memoir. "The salt was real, rubbed in our wounds when we were greeted in Esquimalt by bands playing and cheering crowds "welcome back, you heroes!' I, and I am sure, most of my shipmates, had great difficulty in looking anyone in the eye."
Even so, he decided 10 make the navy his post-war career. On Sept. 27. 1947, assumed command of HMCS St. Stephen. A sailor's sailor who led by example, his orders were to take the river-class frigate to the Labrador Sea and provide weather forecasts for the International Civil Aviation Organization. The airlines had started flying over the Atlantic and needed accurate weather reports.
Transmitting every three hours and assisting aircraft with radar fixes - when the radar actually worked. Mr. Chadwick noted acidly in a memoir he and his crew coped with the atrocious weather on Station Baker usually encountered between Greenland and Labrador. He loved it, though, because it was an independent command and no one was looking over his shoulder.
For the next two years, he recorded his daily battle with the elements."22 Dec. 1947: Wind still rising from NW up to 85. Heaviest seas yet during morning and forenoon, Every rivet shrieking with strain ... frequently rolling over 49 degrees to leeward with frightful buffets - like driving into a brick wall."
During the Cold War Mr. Chadwick filled several staff positions but got plenty of sea time commanding two modern destroyers. Nootka and Sagnenay. It was the golden age of the postwar RCN, with the fleet boasting 20.00 men and 50 ships. Captains like Mr. Chadwick were a vital part the fleet.
Immensely proud of sailor father, Nick Chadwick remembers him as a "bit of a martinet who wanted things done properly. He represents a link lo an earlier age when service came first [and] being a gentleman was important. He epitomized an age when God and country meant some thing."
In 1968, Mr. Chadwick retired with the rank of commander after just 30 years of service. He was only 47 but the unification wars of the sixties, where Ottawa melded the three fighting services against enormous opposition, had left him depressed and he wanted out.
That might have been a mistake, said Nick Chadwick." We got the impression that he regretted retiring. A couple of his friends made admiral and perhaps he could have achieved greater things-"
The old Uganda, meanwhile had been sold for scrap though not before being recommissioned HMCS Quebec.
Settling in Victoria, Mr. Chadwick returned to his paints and built a reputation as a marine artist. "His paintings captured the mystery of the sea, the beauty of birds of prey, sea buds and wildlife keenly observed." said his son Michael Chadwick.
Over the years, he produced hundreds of works depicting birds and ships at sea in water-colour, oils and acrylics.

1869, and later Captain. Served in County Council, co. Wellington and in Town
Council of Guelph for several years; and was Mayor of Guelph in 1877.EMC
Jasper was a prominent businessman, a Provincial Land Surveyor who served
on the town and county council and was elected Mayor of Guelph in 1877. It was
a big year for Guelph, the 50th anniversary of its founding, and Jasper must
have presided over many celebratory events. He was from 1871 to 1885 the
proprietor of the conservative Guelph Herald newspaper, and under his tenure it
went in 1872 from a weekly to a daily edition. (The Herald was eventually
bought up in 1924 by its lifelong rival the radical Guelph Mercury, which still
publishes to this day.)
Guelph Town Hall (built 1856)
(pictured in 1879, the year the town became a city)
Guelph Town Hall which housed the mayoral offices (as well as courts,
market stalls, jail and library) had been built in 1856, during a period of
prosperity triggered by the arrival of the Grand Trunk Railroad in the town
that year. Guelph itself had only been granted town status a year earlier. That
prosperity was soon boosted with another rail connection to the outside world
by the Great Western Railway.
Guelph Board of Trade was determined to capitalise on
these transport links and attract manufacturers to the town, and Jasper
Chadwick was a founding director of the Guelph Gas Works, one of the Board’s
schemes to that end. Its gas first came on stream on 18th January 1871. Gas
meant heat and light, which in turn meant longer working hours in factories;
and like moths to a flame, industries were indeed drawn to Guelph. (The
gasworks survived until they were demolished in the 1960s.)
Guelph Junction Railway’s monopoly-busting Freight Office
(the line was leased to the Canadian Pacific Railway from 1888)
In 1879, two years after Jasper’s mayorship, he could
take some credit when Guelph was declared a city. Three years later, when the
Grand Trunk and Great Western Railways merged, fears of a monopoly of rail
access to the city prompted Chadwick and several other leading citizens to
found the city-owned Guelph Junction Railway.[34]

Summary[35]
F.J. Chadwick served on city council several times and in 1877 was elected
mayor, he was a founding director of the Guelph Gas Company and an incorporator,
along with Innes and other prominent business people, of the Guelph Junction
Railway in 1884; among his numerous other roles he was an officer in the local
militia and a member of the Guelph Cricket Club.
In 1882, Chadwick left Guelph for the Northwest, and in a dinner tendered in
his honour he talked of the deep satisfaction he took in seeing Guelph grow and
prosper. His remarks must have had a special resonance for many of the city's
prominent builders:
"When I came to Guelph in 1848, it was a small place; the spot on which is
now erected the Wellington Hotel [where the testimonial dinner was held] being
a lumber yard, and scarcely a building of any pretensions between here and the
market place. Her population at that time being counted in hundreds where now
there are thousands. Coming here at an early period of my life I might almost
claim to be a native, and as you have been kind enough to express in the
address I have been identified with everything that has made Guelph what she
is. Nothing, since I was able to take my share has been done for the
advancement of our good city in which I have not taken an active part."
A quote from the paper: “The new owner, former Mayor F.J. Chadwick was a
Grit who had seriously damaged the Tory campaign of the previous year. The
owner refused to reprimand the paper’s editor and the Herald was becoming Guelph’s
Roman Catholic voice. In the next decade, Catholics had a forum for presenting
their side in wars of the editorial page initiated by Rev. Dixon[36].
The Herald under the new and vigorous ownership of F. J. Chadwick turned
daily probably in 1872. With the death of the Advertiser, Guelph now had two
clearly competitive papers, The Mercury, a dedicated Reform journal and The
Herald an unabashedly Conservative partisan. According to Acton Burrows
(editor, and subsequently part-owner of the Herald 1874-78) everything at The
Herald was improved under Chadwick. "The only feature in the paper,
indeed, which did not undergo a change," he wrote, "was its
unswerving support of the principles of the Conservative Party.. .
One of the first things Chadwick did was to move the Herald offices to a
new location above the Queen's Hotel. He was also soon to persuade a man who
had once been the Mercury's best writer, James Fahey, to leave a new position
in Hamilton and come and reinvigorate the Herald as editor. Innes in a letter
written to a fiend in late 1871 acknowledged Fahey's talent during his time on
The Mercury:
Jim Fahey has left me having made an engagement with [Jonathan] Wilkinson
[publisher of the Guelph Advertiser 1858-1870] to edit the Hamilton Standard
which he proposes to start on the 1st of January. I might have kept him had I
been willing to pay him enough, but the fact is he did not altogether suit me. For
writing an article there was none better, but he was of little use on the local
work, and you know on a country paper that is as important - even more so………..
In spite of Chadwick's energy and willingness to hire the best available
talent, there were money problems at the Herald. A former editor, writing of
Fahey recalled that "[he] knew what it was to work hard for his wages and
work harder to get them when they were earned. I think some of the wage cheques
issued at that time by me Guelph Herald are still in circulation. The paper's
own history published in 1895 recalls that 'the labor and money lavished by
[Chadwick] on The Herald failed largely of accomplishing the desired results…….
F.J. Chadwick went through several partners in an effort to make the paper
a success, but finally in 1885 The Herald was sold under chattel mortgage to
Henry Gummer.

John & Louisa from EM Chadwick’s history.
EMC:
.... came to Canada, in 1837 and settled at Cravendale near Ancaster, he
served as a justice of the peace and was active in the Church of England. The
extended Chadwick family were large landholders and very prominent in the
Guelph area. He served on the Niagara Frontier in the Rebellion of 1837-38 as a
Volunteer in Capt. Alexander Milne's Troop of Cavalry and was gazetted Lieut.
in the 1st Regt. of Gore Militia, 27 Novr. 1838. In 1851 he removed to Guelph co
Wellington. He was twice named in the Commission of the Peace for that County.
He was a Delegate in the Diocesan Synod of Toronto on several occasions; and
was nominated a member of the Corporation of Trinity College Toronto by the
Bishop of Niagara in 1875.
Probably 1st Battalion (Ancaster) Gore Militia, expanded and
reorganised 16/3/1838.
I had almost forgotten John Craven Chadwick, fourth son of John Craven
Chadwick, of Ballinard, Tipperary, who settled at "Cravendale," near
Ancaster, County Wentworth, in 1836, and removed thence to Guelph in 1851,
where he still resides. He served on the Niagara frontier during the rebellion
of 1837-8, as a volunteer, in Capt. Alexander Mill's troop of cavalry.
Subsequently he held a commission in 1st Regiment of Gore Militia. He has been
twice named in the Commission of the Peace for the County of Wellington. He
served as a delegate to the Diocesan Synod of Toronto, almost continuously,
from 1853 until the separation of the Diocese of Niagara from that of Toronto,
when he was appointed by the Bishop of Niagara as a member of the Corporation
of Trinity College, Toronto. He is a Vice President of Guelph St. Patrick's
Society. He has four sons, viz., John Craven Chadwick, residing near Guelph;
Frederick Jasper Chadwick, of Guelph, who has taken an active part in political
and municipal affairs for some years, and is Mayor of Guelph this present year,
1877. He also has been President of Guelph St. Patrick's Society. Edward Marion
Chadwick, of Toronto, Barrister-at-Law, Honorary Major and Captain in the
Queen's Own...[41]
He seems to have retained an interest (and income) from land in Ireland:
1882, 416A of land in
Clanwilliam, Tipperary held in fee simple by the estate of one Thomas Dowling
was offered for sale 14 November 1882, producing a rental of £105 pa. The lands
which form part of the eastern boundary of Limerick and are within 2 miles of
Limerick junction and Oola Stations. They are prime pasture lands and are
sublet by the owners tenat and about £364/1/- pa. The purchaser will be
entitled to the receipt of this latter rental on the decease of Mr John Craven
Chadwick who attained his 74th year in April 1885, and who is the
only surviving life to the lease, dated 22 August 1822 from Lady Damer to
William Chadwick, subject to which the sale is made[42].

from Ireland, England and Scotland, and a few from Germany.
The Robinson Family's "Blue Castle Gardens" is on Lot 12, Concession

cousin of his first wife; she survived her husband and had a marriage portion of
£1,000 and an annuity of £80 a year as a widow.
Sophia diedEMC: September 1825, aged 82.
Footnote to EMC P24:
There are some old silver cups at Ballinard on which are engraved the arms of
Rose Craven (nee Otway) arranged as those of a widow. A portrait in the
possession of the writer has been supposed to hers, but Mrs Bryan states that
it is a portrait of Mrs. John Carden (nee Roe) a house shown in the background
being Barnane, and that a portrait at Ballinard of a fair haired lady, dressed
in red, is that of Rose Craven.
He had issue of the 1st marriage only:-
1/1EMC. Richard Chadwick, (IGI born abt 1777 of Ballinard)
who seems to have died quite young as William describes John Craven in his Marriage Settlement as his "only son." He probably died under two years of
age because his name does not
appear in the Cullen Register now existing which dates from 1770 only, those
prior to that date having long ago disappeared.

The Cardens - A New Dynasty in Templemore
The 18th and 19th Centuries saw a new family establish itself in Templemore,
the Cardens. Having arrived from Cheshire, John Carden, in 1698, leased land in
the lordship of Templemore from the Butlers, from whom he purchased the estate
in 1704. The castle that acted as their home stood in today's town park, but
they deserted it in the mid 18th Century after it was damaged by fire. What
became known as "The Abbey" was then built as the family home,
supposedly on the site of a long lost monastery, but by 1902 the family had
left the town. The Abbey then remained empty until the 1920s, when Auxiliaries
took up residence there. When the building was later vacated the local
Volunteers had the Abbey burned, thus destroying one of the most impressive
legacies of the Cardens in Templemore.

Charles Spencer Bourchier was the eldest son of Charles Bourchier and Eliza

1/3. Rudolphus Chadwick, (living in 1720).
In a former account of the family his name appears with the simple note "of whom nothing is known," but we now know something of him, assuming the very unusual name to be evidence of his identity with Rudolphus Chadwick, who appears to have settled in Cork and to have been a merchant there, and to have married, in 1739, Prudence Healy, of the parish of St. Mary Shandon. The following persons whose names occur in Cork records are probably their descendants, and they seem to have gone down rather in the social scale. Charles Chadwick in 1765 had an interest in Rathmore, a small property in the suburbs of Cork. His eldest son, William, married Mary Rebecca White in 1776. And there were the following marriages also; 1767, Mary, of St. Mary Shandon, to Joseph Merrick; 1778, Mary Elizabeth to Thomas Cooke; 1797, Mary, of Cork, to Henry Duggan, son of John Duggan, with an annuity if left a widow of £50 charged on certain lands. The following also appear: Edward Chadwick, of 32nd Regiment, married, in 1780, Mary Ray, of Youghal, and Edward Chadwick, of Leitrim, revenue officer, perhaps the same man, married, in 1809, Margaret Homan. The Cork Directory of 1914 gives two or three persons of the name, of whom the writer has not obtained any particulars. (CGT)
1/4. Michael Chadwick,(living 1720) a Quarter Master in 1743,
married Anna Maria, daughter of William Connor, of Clonmel, who survived him; he died between 1752 and 1757; had a daughter Jane, married, 1759, to Francis, eldest son of George Davies, of Bunreagh, County Clare; and a daughter Mary, married to John Lackey, of Clonmmel and of Kilkenny, who had issue, viz: (besides others) a daughter Maria, married to Francis Despard, of Fethard, eldest son of William Despard, of Killaghy Castle, County Tipperary.
1/5. Katherine Chadwick, (supposed to have been a dau. of
William of Gurthkilleen, but not
certainly known as such) married to Vere Hunt of Curragh, co. Limerick, and had
issue, one son, who died infant.
She died prior to 1760, after which the said Vere Hunt re-married and had
issue. His son was created a Baronet. The name is now DeVere.
1/6. Grace, married to Bunbury.
1/7. Ann, married in 1748 to William Blood, of Roxton, (EMC)
b. 1720, Cahirnemoher, Co. Clare,
Ireland; d. 1791, Roxton, Co. Clare, Ireland, some time High Sheriff (1750).
She had a marriage portion of £1,000 and an annuity of £100 a year if left a
widow (EMC).
Data of Ann's descendants from a source other than EMC:
A note: Bindon Blood's book states: "My forefather is said to have fallen
very much in love with Miss Chadwick, but on approaching her father with a view
to matrimony, he met with a refusal, as Mr. Chadwick strongly objected to
County Clare and to Clare men. Thereupon my forefather assembled some friends
and followers, attacked the Chadwick house and carried off the young lady,
marrying her the next morning. Unfortunately, Mr. Chadwick, who defended his
house with resolution, was shot dead, either in the attack or in the pursuit
afterwards, during which it is said that a good deal of shooting took
place."

"In 1686 October 21 a Deed
of Release was executed and afterwards registered in the Palatinate Records by
which Richard Chadwick of Ballynamaght released Thomas [Baker - Mary's oldest
brother] from the legacy bequeathed by the latter's father [Walter Baker] to
his only sister Mary. (Martha [another sister] must have been then dead). This
payment was in consideration of her marriage with Richard Chadwick. There was

See Also “Bell Family” file for more background & images.
This Bell family were Quakers, initially as farmers in Cumberland, but
moved to the commercial and industrial world of Southern England, and were well
connected with the merchants of London, and had some connections with Ireland,
and the Americas, particularly via their Barclay relatives: Louisa Bell’s
grandmother was Katherine Barclay, sister of one of the founders of the
emonymous bank, and her mother was the daughter of another very influential
commercial figure of London, Edward Vaux. They and the Barclays were examples
of the extensive commercial and social network of the Quakers, many of whom
became extremely rich and developed businesses both at home and in North
America.
Our family sequence was:
John Bell of Hundith Hill, Cumberland – late 17thC.
Jonathan Bell of Hundith Hill (1654-1721)
Daniel Bell, Quaker Preacher of Tottenham (1685-1758)
Daniel Bell, of Tottenham (1726-1802), Married Catherine Barclay.
Jonathan Bell, of Kensington (1726-1855).
Louisa Bell, daughter of Jonathan, married John Craven Chadwick, jnr, and moved
with him to Canada.
How Louisa Bell from London met John Craven Chadwick from central Ireland
is a matter for conjecture.
An alternative explanation comes from the Barclay family in Dublin:
Catherine (Barclay) Forbes and John Barclay, brother and sister of David (of
Catherine (Barclay) Bell, grand mother of Louisa Bell who married John Craven
Chadwick), were both in merchants in Dublin.
David Barclay, father-in-law of Daniel Bell, jnr, was a linen draper: this
may have been the connection with the Northern Irish families of Wakefield etc.
Somewhere maybe this is the connection. There is not much indication of the
activities of the Chadwicks of Ballinard. Maybe they were linen growers??
There is another small indication in the records of a linen family of
northern Ireland, the Greers, who were connected in business with the
Wakefields of London, and there was a company of Greer, Wakefield & Bell; a
letter in the archives[72]
tells of a connection with the Bell family of Tottenham. The Greers were
Quakers, as were the Bells. A Bell history also shows an early Bell starting in
Dumfriesshire in the early 17thC, one of whom move to Cumberland and
then to Ireland in 1655. Through the Quaker connection, the familes seemed to
have retained contact.
Much of the following is from the Quaker records. Very often, men are
described as, for example, a “Citizen and Draper of London”. This must mean
that they were freemen of the City and a member of a Guild. More detail was
filled in from the memoir of Jonathan Bell (written early 1850’s when he was
80): his description of the family stretches into the latter part of the 18thC.
An archive of letters relating to the Bell family has alse been included[73]. They range from the early
18thC to the late 19thC. Early ones show the Bells with
trading and shipping interests to the Americas.
One of the daughters, of Daniel & Katherine (Barclay) Bell, Katherine, married
John Gurney of Norwich, whose progeny left a mark on the banking and philanthropic
life of the country. One of their daughters was Elizabeth Fry, a famous Quaker
Prison reform campaigner.
There is often a difference in the dates of births, marriages and deaths
because Quaker records until about 1750 used numbers for the months, but
changed year at the end of February, almost, but not the same as the
established church. Many transcriptons have missed this fact, and give the
month name 2 months early, and, as so often happens, confuse the year during
between January and March. In all the dates for the Quaker Bells, I have
transposed them to the format of month number from January.

A London merchant, like his father and grandfather, who were
both Quakers, but there is no indication that Jonathan followed this path.
Little has been found about him except for a transcript of a period of his
journals, 1848-53, which make interesting reading – they were transcribed by
his 4xgreat grandson, Timothy Egcumbe Ford in 2012.
Part 1, the journals, is 66 pages from July 1848-May 1853. Part 2, Aug 1851 –
March 1855) and includes “Jonathan Bell’s Memoirs”. Subsequent parts enlarge on
the various families. ..
The Bell family, like the Vaux’s were important merchants in the City of
London, and would have know each other, so his marriage may have been somewhat
of a dynastic event.

From Jonathan Bell’s journal:
January 1852
This Month is the commencement of another year &, opened upon us with every comfort we could ask for — But it has closed in heaviness & bereavement
- My dear Wife shew suddenly Symptoms of decay in various ways & was severely attacked by Diarrhoea giving us all much anxiety - however, this passed off & she appeared recovered- but there is no doubt it was a relief of Nature for a time & most probably saved her & us from Sudden Visitation of death -
About the middle of the month however, as Fanny was reading
to her- she was attacked in a moment with Paralysis losing almost her speech her
limbs on her left side - she was immediately to bed – remaining in this state
till 28th Jan., when at 7.O. in the Evening she gave up her soul to God
- during - 7 or 8 days of us suffering - but remaining in a state almost of loss
of speech - under no irrisistability, altho’ restored in a certain comforting
degree to all who surrounded her bed &c. occasionally could make us understand
her thoughts & even wishes - she gradually sunk to a sleep which lasted
more than 12 hours - with out a struggle or even a spasm - her countenance
increasing in Inertness - her breathing becoming every hour shorter & shorter
till it ceased for Ever!
February 1852 (P89)
The following Relation or memoirs, having been collected & recorded from time to time soon after the decease of my dear & lamented wife I think it cannot be better formally registered than by following the Biographical sketch of my own family, in which she appears rather a striking object; In this recital – my memory has called forth – many most interesting circumstances to myself & daughters – to others more distantly connected they may prove perhaps too personal for them – but my wish has been to display in truthful detail the character of the beloved object in all her walks & habits which in a long life reflect such valuable characteristics & leave to her descendents such a beautiful instance & example of excellence & conspicuous devotional Piety. ---
The heavy bereavement I have sustained has naturally called forth so many dormant reminiscences in my mind and so strongly produced a sensitive feeling of the fleeting yet lengthened days and years that have passed since the Union with my dear lamented wife, that I feel it justly due to the memory of her to collect the recollections and endeavor to depict them in recital, to do her character just honour and to show forth her loveliness and excellence to both young and old of her own close connections. I became acquainted with Maria Vaux very early in life, the eldest daughter of parents with a numerous family, living in a highly respectable sphere, but excluded as to society and the world – closely united in most affectionate chords, each & every one doting upon the others. The Mother was a remarkable person, very strict in discipline very orderly in her domestic procurement; discourse, propriety, submissiveness, accompanied with religious observances were her constant care and observance over her family. And as the oldest Maria became, as it were, the depositor and instrument of dispensing these to her sister.
In person neither slim nor full, not strictly & uniformally handsome – clear and rather bronze like complexion with most expressive full eyes, beaming with softness and intelligence. Her temper was placidness itself, her understanding strong. God had blessed her too with an ardency for knowledge, and fine talents, not strikingly brilliant but sound and deep, and ardor in the improvement of them, which through her long life, were constantly in increasing energy- With these ornaments of mind; with the sweetness of disposition, with simple and commanding powers, it was no wonder she became an adored object of her sisters, and became an object of respect as well as love, having them to receive her command, and even to look up to her for advice and instruction. These are the words of a sister now 90 years old, in a letter to me of condolence – a very talented person as were indeed all the family. But they held her in just estimation, and so far from creating a comparison, or tincture of jealousy; it was a continued accession of the most ardent admiration and affection. How I won this gem; how I awakened affection, nay, love is to me, as I see her in those youthful days most extraordinary- I cannot go into characteristics of myself. I appear now, as I recall the opening of my heart for her as scarcely a worthy object of her. I feel at times as if I never defended her. I am writing this emblem in my 83 year – and I relate that accd. tablet of peace at the Brompton Cemetery you can read 81 to be her attainment in years. What a period of time to trace through – but as my pen moves on, I have found such uncompromising interest, as to make me think I ought not to omit any circumstance that can tend to develop her character, and to exhibit how she was beloved, admired, respected by everyone, rich and poor, young and old-domestics! Her children! Her husband! At 23 years of age I paid a visit as companion to her brother to the family at Ludgate and I found her at a zenith of happiness and enjoyment. She was an enthusiastic lover of nature (in this we were truly alike) the Ocean, the romantic scenery of the neighbourhood- the high towering cliffs of Dover-the moonlight nights-the richness of the autumn crops were delight to her ardent mind and refined aspirations-and I, ardent as herself, became entranced; not knowing what deep entrancement it was, how far I had engendered love-but love it was, and tho’ time was required for development it kindled at this delightful intercourse, almost unknown to myself, how far, or whether at all at this period her own feelings became agitated or warmed, I cannot say, for I did not receive the happy arrival for two or three years afterwards. I was there in pursuit of all kinds of pleasure-I was in extensive society- I even became united to a very affectionate interest with a charming Lady; carrying on a very intimate association-almost to a love, and I fear, I say I fear, touched her heart never to experience a response-Why? because a latent spark had been struck in my soul, always like a load-stone drawing towards another attraction. I must not indulge myself in these pleasing, gratifying recollections, by tracing the progress of my attachment for a long period; or endeavour to discover when she experienced the like impulse-but at once delineate her as my Wife,-and develop, by open to view and appreciation her character during scenes and times, and occurrences of wondrous vicissitude
She was quite unknown to my family-I had six or seven
sisters, most affectionately attached to me; particularly clever, cultivated
women; of warm enthusiastic natures, greatly interested to see and know my
choice, and when they did see and know her, and found her a simple-minded,
rather reserved, chosy of her thoughts, unexcitable, quiet in demeanour all her
natural attractions under a regulated control-they called her amiable-they
called her inexperienced-they called her more wanting in energy and
cold-hearted, and wondered at my being caught by such an apparently quiet
untried person, so entirely unlike themselves-Such was the darling of my heart
when I brought her to an intimate intercourse with my family; or rather what
she was supposed to be by them. The first of these dear sisters, was my quiet
intimate Lucy. She had only a short time before become a plain Quaker in the
plainest of garbs with an ardent, enthusiastic, most sensitive nature
underneath- Maria had never known a Quaker; hardly seen one - & therefore
was more than commonly anxious how they could even opinionate – or cultivate an
intimacy.
Lucy was several years older than Maria and I therefore expected she would have
proved a kind of Mentor – but her change had dissipated that hope and I greatly
feared would have prevented a union friendship, much hoped for. The warm
heartedness, the gentleness-good sense of Lucy soon drew forth congeniality,
and opened the heart of my wife: and I had the unsurpassable happiness to
observe the closest friendship and intimacy created. This was almost enough for
me, but with this arose spontaneously; the early above confidence, the same
connection, the same close intimacy with all my sisters: (Catherine, Mrs Gurney
was gone & Mrs Wakefield particularly took her to her affections, and it
was no mean merit to obtain her approbation.
Very soon after our marriage, we received an invitation to Earlham, the Gurney’s home, then with all the family in full flow of happiness and youth. They were then all under quaker rule and habits – brilliant in capacity, in high exhibition, with natural open-heartedness, so that my Maria was received with the warmest feelings; and, as I continued to anticipate, became her object of sincere affection with complete confidential intimacy, and high value- These impressions and connections never had suspense or relaxation this year and years afterwards – Now, even now, in a letter of one of the number, a Brethren, he terms her his honored Aunt. This juncture is sufficient to convince how she was beloved by all my connections. It now becomes a duty, both to her memory, and my own satisfaction to display her characteristic, natural and accomplished fable as my abilities are to do her justice. Nature had been immeasurably lavish in her gifts, sweetness of temper, cheerfulness of disposition, playful, even humorous; never irascible, but sensitive of wrong and quick in correction.
How often have poor I received her words of admonition and advices. “Now, husband, I will give it you’re well.” “I gave it rather well this morning, stupid, forgetful.”! There was no ill-humour, it was momentary warmth vanishing as quickly as it formed utterances. Her mind appeared to be composed of wonderful stability; there were no bursts of feeling; never increasingly high, nor despairingly low; deeply conversant with all kinds of literature, most extensively read on all subjects, her conversation was rather valuable with her intimates, and always entertaining, enthusiastic, and attractive to strangers. The love of Music shewed itself from a child; she had a sweet, soft voice, and tho’ not a highly finished performer, her concert ear and refined taste gave to her performances a most pleasing affect – She was a great acquisition to her family circle on this account, they were all musical, and got up delightful domestic concerts. She was a great admirer of theatrical talents, and enjoyed very much what she all her life liked to talk over with me, the fine acting of Mrs Siddons[xxv], Miss Farren, Mrs Crouch, Mrs Jordan in their high walks, and the humour of Banister, Edwin, Suet and Parsons. She entered with great glee into the mimicry her brothers used so irresistibly to amuse the family with. This was fine unsophisticated taste, not the love of pleasure. She possessed great activity of mind; there was no apathy, fine feelings, acute sensitivity, but always under associated Influence. This characteristic was remarkable in her visit to Ireland, where we passed nearly 12 months with her beloved daughter, Eliza Bolton. The vivacity, the uncontrolled exuberance, the apparent open sincerity of the Irish ladies never discomposed her evenness, her composure; and she made impressions on the society of respect and regard. I shall now look at her in a far different sphere indeed. Previous to the Irish town, and for many years she had occupied her talents and the spirit of her mind, when she had 15 or 16 pupils under her care and tuition along with her daughters. Most successful indeed was this trying career, not only in temporals but in returning these young ladies secondly educated; their minds brought to impressions, and reflections; pressured from vanity and outward show. There was a laudable emulation produced without exciting envy. Thus her fine temper and sweetness of disposition had their full effects in gaining the highest respect and affection, not only during the period of education, but in after life. I cannot recollect an instance of any of them who did not, and now do not show their attachment, fondness, and high respect for their instructoress. This has continued for years, exhibited by presents, correspondence and visits whenever opportunity occurred. These recollections naturally lead me to say a few words of her as a Mother and my pen becomes almost suspended as in a superfluous destiny. They who have seen the fruits of her care, tenderness, wisdom, love of order (which refined minds can alone understand) feel the happy beneficial results of her maternal affection- and I have only to ask, as justly due to them, of numerous connections, and a host of valuable friends if they do not all of them reflect in shining characters the value of their dearest Mother and Friend. Take her now in the sphere of friendships. It may be easily imagined from what I have portrayed, that she had a glowing heart for its sacred impulses, and it shows forth in a striking manner thro’ her life. Her girlish attachments, her womanly attachments were many, lasting, and strong. For many years these feelings were hosted with unshaken constancy, to the closest intimacy with two ladies, unknown to each other and different in character, but both votaries of the same attraction. A constant cover – prudence was unremittingly cultivated for years and years, even to a few days before her attack. There was an agreement existing, that this correspondence should be returned upon the departure of either. One lady has desired that hers may be burnt. The others remain undecided now. She always smiled at me when I gave these letters to her: ”ah dear! Never mind, tho’ you know they are my sweet-hearts.
She was greatly beloved by her servants during some 40 years she had raly there, besides her valuable attendant upon her death-bed; who never hardly left the room, & who understood her imperfect words. She, as she said herself, could scold them, but the more she did so in (no scalding) the more they loved her. They retired, not sent away; one more than 15 years ago, is now in deep sorrow & appreciation in this case. No birthday, or wedding day ever passed over without a beautiful cake, or something nice from her (a fine cook & confectioner) ( to return to her friendships.) In one of her early attachments (tho’ after our marriage, my wife received a severe shock in the death of a lady in child-bed – Mrs Sampson was a neighbour in Clapton terrace, a lovely, most delightful, engaging person-she and Maria became closely intimate and attached. Two years only passed over their intercourse, but it was constant, and tended to the happiness of both. This dear lady almost died in my arms; my wife was in her confinement, or I am sure she would have expired in hers.
Her youthful attachments were equally strong and lasting, fixed and powerful. Miss Payars, afterwards Mrs Higginson, was her very early intimate & valuable friend-Susan Neave, afterwards Mrs Batt, devoted to her as a sister in her younger days, and for a great many years afterwards. These appreciations came before my interest took part – Another affectionate union of feeling was strikingly alive with Agatha[xxvi], the elegant, accomplished, generally accomplished grand-daughter of David Barclay, and the wife of Samson Hanbury. She doated on my wife, always held her in first estimation, and left her a legacy. Another name I cannot forget or omit – Mrs Masterman, a near relation of mine, became, soon after my marriage, very intimate, & closely attached. Many many happy days we used to pass under her roof. One other my pen must not refuse to speak of. There was no one who loved her more, or showed more affectionate interest and esteem than Elizabeth Fry. David Barclay himself the aged Head of Quakers, and an extensive family, and one looked upon as almost unapproachable, soon after we were married had her to his house, became communicative, and familiar and even flattered me with the acquisition I had made. His picture has called forth these recollections.
I now take leave of connections, and I just touch upon common casual acquaintances, an extensive field; whether as a farmer’s wife in Essex; whether as a Schoolmistress at Hornsey and Kensington; whether as a Lady in the chamber of a 14 years confinement, these were numerous, enchained to her society, attracted by her abilities, and affectionate demeanour-And those who have for years cultivated an intimacy, by visiting at Kensington, are in their grief at her loss, affording a true proof of their high regard.
In this class, my own friends must not be forgotten. (Clergymen, sportsmen, business gentlemen; who loved her more than my old friend Jacob? Who revered her more than Dillin, regenerate and unregenerate Enough, Enough – however! I hardly know how to touch my most heavy trials and afflictions; but I must do so, but only to display another proof of her submission to the will of God in every one of his dispensations. [two lines then heavily crossed out]
In various attitudes I have endeavoured to exhibit how much my wife was beloved, esteemed, respected, even looked up to, both in youth and full maturity. It behoves me now therefore to describe (if I can) the kind of character combining these attributes. There was no exuberance of mind-it was all simplicity; there was no want of ardency, or of feeling – there was a stability of mind, rarely equalled whether arising from nature, or from early taught self-procurement, it was never shaken off its centre. Her thirst after knowledge; & extensive reading, carried on from time to time, established a consistency of character; with such a soundness of thought, and depth of solid, quiet connection of general principles of right, it was no wonder her society; her instructive, experienced observations, joined as they were to a cheerful, animated, entertaining manner of imparting knowledge, led to the general respect and admiration she obtained. I have said she had friends and connections loving her, and I can say, with one exception however, that universal love was warmly returned. That exception was Self; there was never any devotion to that-She lived for others. Her aim, & the object of her thoughts were alone inspired by the desire of doing benefits to all around her. Her charity towards the faults and errors of others, without satire or search for censure, was the fruit of her true, generous, Christian convictions. And this conclusion leads me at once to delineate (again if I can) her religious aspirations, her constant unwavering devotedness to sacred truths. Her bible was her Back to rest upon, and as the development of its truth and sacred records warmed her soul, so it governed all her conclusions and actions. Indeed it became the source of that steadiness, that remarkable quiet “melody of heart,” which influenced the whole of her chequered career. She had been brought up, educated, nourished in strict Church of England principles and doctrines; and its discipline ever established a Rule in her heart, & she never swerved from its influence. Yet there never was a prejudiced feeling established – she was a liberal in her religious connections, and could, and did enjoy devotions from those strictly contained devotedness to church principles, exhibited by her own family. Still nothing could shake her constancy, in the duty of inculcating the true value of Church discipline on all her children. In her long life, and during her seclusions, she had in association, all kinds of Professions; High Church, Low Church, Quakers, Baptists, Independents, Converted Jews, even Catholics, & the extreme of divergence Plymouth Brethren, everyone in turn. She heard them, read of them, could take up a doctrine, or doubtful opinion, and ably argue its principles, or tendencies; but it never for a moment disturbed her steadfast convictions. Her religion was the main spring of her engaging character. It was “the keystone of the arch.” It made her contented, cheerful, wise, clear-headed; and was the express cause of all that was lovely and engaging. I am, and do feel warm in this delineation, & perhaps I may be said to have made use of strong expressions, somewhat too glowing perhaps; but I ask her daughters, whither truth does not authorize my energy; & I ask as her Biographer, her husband Jonathan Bell whether he can value her worth, her excellence, her devotedness enough, & he says “No:” “much as he did value them.” I do not mean that I was too warm in depicting her religious impressions – My language could not reach their true value. Perhaps I ought to go further, and show her daily abstraction, her daily simple means of devotion; but it wants no illustration. It was a perfect walk with God, I may say, thro’ life. However I cannot explain what I mean better than in these words
“I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my Soul shall be joyful
in my God, for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation; he has
covered me with the Robe of Righteousness.” (Isiah 61:10)
(This text is engraved on the Tombstone)
I cannot close this tribute to my wife’s memory in any way so well, as to describe her in the ….. dispensation of 14 years confinement to her two Rooms – arising from an affliction in the limbs – supposed to be a kind of Parallysis of the Muscles – at times, rendering much suffering – still, capable of relief from Medical treatment, particularly in the last 7 or 8 years under the skill of Dr. Bachelour, practising in the late administration of Homopathy.
The delineation of my wife’s character which I have
attempted, tho’ faintly to exhibit is more fully realized in this
visitation-the Resignation to the trial – the cheerfulness of her
natural disposition never at any time losing its spirit- the entire absence of complaint,
the perfect good humour & contentedness with her attendants &
comforts – the pleasure she experienced in the society of her Relations &
numerous friends by whom she was constantly visited greatly subdued the natural
anxiety of myself & daughters-it almost dispelled the affect of such
serious depreciation of her activity of both mind & body; to us appearing
quite a wonder – only to be thankfully acknowledged to the merciful influence
of glorious Providence-this was also remarkably displayed in her sight being
preserved to her great comfort- reading without any external aid (atho’
one eye was almost dim) – her power of working was continued to her – both, to
the very last day before her attack.

Images from Roger Sharland, Findagrave.
From Jonathan Bell Papers:
It seems quite likely that the miniatures of Daniel and Catherine, mentioned by
Lady Chapman, were passed down through the family together with the original
memoirs. Three miniatures exist that are referred to as various Bells, and I
like to think that two may be Daniel and Catherine:
Daniel Bell was a Quaker, and coal merchant of Stamford
Hill, Tottenham, with his business at Tottenham Mills on the Old River Lea. The
Quaker contacts led to his children marrying spouses from rather further afield
than was usual in the area.
There are indications that he had an interest in a linen business in Dungannon,
Ulster.(see under daughter Priscilla and the Wakefield connection).
A slightly later view of Tottenham Mills.
They were a Quaker family. A grand daughter was Elizabeth Fry.
Born 21/8/1726, Tottenham, son of Daniel & Elizabeth Bell[79]. abt 1726EMC
Died: 19/10/1802, At his house in Stamford Hill, in his 77th year,
Mr Daniel Bell, and eminent coal merchant and one of the people called Quakers.
His remains were deposited in the Quakers’ burying ground at Winchmore Hill.[80]
Inherited Hundith Hill on the death of his brother Jonathan in 1791.
There is a suggestion that he may have been connected with a linen drapers
business in Ireland along with a Wakefield family, it is notable that his
daughter, Priscilla married a Wakefield[81].
From Jonathan Bell’s Memoir:-
Daniel Bell must have been a fine florid young man, as, in his latter years he
had a fresh ruddy complexion and rather a stately person, sinewy and active
he never carried flesh, making him altogether attractive in person, not
tall nor small nor short – this pleasing natural aspect was a picture of
his natural disposition, it was all cheerfulness, kindness, easy contented
temper, full of urbanity and extremely affectionate. He was quite a Quaker at
heart, altho’ not carrying out its extreme rigidities, either in dress or
habits, but he was temperate in indulgencies and always contented with his progress
in life. A great lover of Nature he enjoyed the beauties of the Creation
with an Ardent Spirit and whenever trials of climate occurred, he always
expressed himself in a term of satisfaction, that it was, whatever happened,
always for the best. His love of Nature naturally influenced his taste,
and he was through life, from a boy, a thorough sportsman, a particular fine
seat on horseback rendered him fond of hunting and he became an eminent Fox
Hunter in the early part of life. Shooting also was one of his delights and he
always alluded to as greatly skilful in this charming diversion, and as a
climax of tastes, he was a finished fly Fisher and I think altogether was more
a devotee to its various attractions than any other pursuit. I am rather
warm in these descriptions, but I feel such an interest in its relation, from
having, tho’ only a schoolboy been for many seasons a happy attendant upon his
relaxation from Business in these occupations.
My Father’s settlement in life was at Stamford Hill, between Newington and
Tottenham – a nice convenient residence, with about 70 acres of land, having
also an erected Wharf and Warehouse on the River Lea; - this property had been
purchased by some of the Barclay Family and my Father became the Tenant, and in
which, the whole of a long life he lived; having carried on the Business of a
Coal Merchant in a successful and respectable manner, altho’ much weighed upon
by a rapidly increasing family.
Thus commenced and continued for many years the Domicile of Stamford
Hill, well-known, and justly esteemed of all connections and friends in a
happy, united, hospitable, respectable Home – and now I must skip
or take a wide jump in this biography, bringing at once into notice the Ten
children as associated members, all living together in harmonious affection,
all living during the lifetime of Father and Mother, and I venture boldy to
assert a more united – a more loving, and closely connected, affectionate
family never existed. My sisters, one and all were highly talented, they were
not accomplished in worldly elegancies, but their natural affectionate Unities
led them to a wise cultivation of those Talents God had blessed them with, and
through life they were all estimated as a knot of clever women.
1787: Wednesday afternoon as a man in the service of Mr. Daniel Bell, of
Stamford-hill, was driving a Wagon loaded with malt by Shoreditch church, he
was crushed between the wheel of his own carriage and that of the cart loaded
with passengers for Edmonton statute. He was taken into Mr. Deard's, surgeon, a
few doors from the spot on which the accident happened, where he expired in
about ten minutes, The deceased had been married only twelve days[82].

It seems as though there were 2 John & Elizabeth Gurneys in Norwich at this

Wakefield [née Bell], Priscilla (1750–1832), author and philanthropist, was
born on 20 November 1750 in Tottenham, Middlesex, the eldest of six children of
Catherine Barclay (1727–1784) and Daniel Bell (1726–1802), coal merchant. She
was a great-granddaughter of the Quaker martyr Robert Barclay.[108]
She was educated at home near London and helped her mother educate her younger
sisters. In January 1771, she married Edward Wakefield, a merchant; they had
two surviving sons and one daughter. A Quaker, Wakefield was a noted
philanthropist, founding a maternity hospital and a “frugality bank” in which
the poor could save their money. She is best known as a children’s author; she
wrote only one book for adults, the feminist Reflections on the Present
Condition of the Female Sex (1798). Despite never leaving Britain, she wrote a
number of travel books, including Excursions in North America (1806) and The
Traveller in Africa(1814), basing them on extensive research. She died at her
daughter’s house in Ipswich on 12 September 1832. (D.L.M.)[109]
From her father, Jonathan Bell’s Memoir:
...like her mother – not tall, fair and light hair, very expressive
countenance, not much animation, was preceptress, I may say, to her sisters,
which her fine talents warranted – her memory is stamped to the world
by her many valuable effusions, particularly addressed to the young people, now
become perhaps rather obsolete, but not less valuable. Her name, also indeed
fame , will never be forgotten for one of her charitable acts: - She was
the original Instigator and Establisher of the Saving Bank
system, carried into practical operation by herself and a lady (a neighbor) of
the name of Powell and these two are recorded in the History of the
Saving Bank.
I speak of her charity – her whole life was a devotion to benevolence!
..... She was a thorough Quaker in mind but (inconsistently) extremely
fond of general society and some worldly amusements, the theatre
she was fond of, but in those days it was an object of something like worthy
interest. Mrs Siddons, Ladys Derby, Kemble, Parsons, banister were attractions
to draw people. I never believe they were of evil intent. I have enjoyed many a
play with her! Her husband was of a Quaker Family (I believe) but he was of the
world and his wife therefore never put on Quaker habits
Microfilm copies of her diaries in the NZ Turnbull Library, she was quite
famous herself for work among deprived women in east end of London.
Her descendants included Edward Gibbon Wakefield.
Extract from: “A Sort of Conscience: The Wakefields, By Philip Temple” -
The family suffered from recurring financial problems, a direct practical
burden for Priscilla and the chronic prompt for many of her sons’ and
grandsons’ actions in future years. She found solace, fortitude and life
purpose in an enduring Quaker faith inherited from both her mother Catherine,
granddaughter of Robert Barclay of Ure, the seventeenth-century Quaker apologist
(and progenitor of the famous banking family), and from her father, Daniel
Bell. After their marriage at the meeting house in Tottenham High Road, her
parents had made a home at nearby Stamford Hill, 70 acres bordering the River
Lea where a wharf and warehouse served Bell’s lifelong coal business. By 1796,
Priscilla saw it as ‘Once the place of all my domestic joys, but now, alas!
almost stript of all’ (22 July). As her widowed father neared the end of his
life, she wrote on 25 July, ‘Could but age feel the advantage of continuing
agreeable: what a delightful task to alleviate its miseries, as it is, it is an
incumbent duty.’
Priscilla Wakefield’s Quakerism was actively and pragmatically Philanthropic.
She was no admirer of orthodoxy. At a Friends’ meeting she ‘mixed with numbers
of those who think that extreme plainness of habit and address is essential to
rectitude. I admire the simplicity of their manners, and the purity of their
morals, but do they not sometimes deviate into mere formality and uniformity of
habit?’ (6 September 1796).
Priscilla had been brought up in an environment less restricted than that of
many Quaker families. Daniel had been fond of shooting, riding and fox-hunting,
which were not at all compatible with Quaker practice since Friends were
adjured ‘not to distress the creatures of God for our amusement’. Priscilla was
said to be ‘fond of general society and some worldly amusements':9 in December
1796, she went to London and ‘saw Macbeth. Delighted with the combined talent
of Mrs Siddons and Kemble.’ But her piety and sense of propriety intervened as
she added, ‘Why are these amusements polluted by dreadful intermixture of vice
and profaneness.’

Wakefields were involved in the linen trade in Northern Ireland. The PRoNI
website has:
“Linen Trade: “The letters to and from the second Thomas Greer form the bulk of
the collection. Greer was chiefly concerned with the linen business but was
also involved in the trade of general goods……. All through the letters the
Greer family appear to have been connected in business with the Wakefields of
London. The partnerships changed from time to time: the first was Wakefield,
Willet & Pratt, and the next, mentioned in 1770, was Wakefield, Pratt &
Miers and later the name was Wakefield and Bell.”

From her father, Jonathan Bell’s Memoir:
...a very remarkable person, elegant and stately, very handsome and
graceful, endowed with talents, energy and feeling eve taking the strongest
interest in every one’s affairs and pursuits, from the poor beggar at the door
to the most independent member of her family or acquaintances – her career in
life was a chequered one indeed, or rather unchequered, for its was ever a
painful struggle – the loss of a lovely daughter, 14 or 15, in measles, gave
such a turn to her heart that it might almost be said to have broken it,
and she never recovered the deprivation, tho’ living above 70 years, her
talents were not hid under a bushel, she wrote some novels, many efforts were
highly spoken of, but never published, except a work of much notoriety, the Good
Nurse[xxxi],
a code of regulations for the conduct of a nurse in a sick room, highly
estimated by the Physicians of the day. She became greatly attached to my wife,

Edward Marion Chadwick wrote for Maria: “Daughter of Edward Vaux, in Holy
Orders, and his wife Mary Johnson, of London” – his ordination is almost
certainly incorrect.
There is no doubt from his will that this Edward Vaux was a
merchant and insurer, and probably not a clergyman – as Sharpe writes[113], there was an Edward Vaux
in Holy Orders who died in 1847 aged 44 (grandson to this one): it is very
possible that EMC confused this with the (much earlier) Edward in this section.
There are a number of references that show Edward Vaux (and later at least 2 of
his sons, Edward and Jasper) was an important member of the burgeoning London
Insurance world:
1. There is a brief reference in “Treatises on Average, and Adjustments of
Losses in Marine Insurance” (1833) to “ a gentleman of high and deserved eminence
in the commercial world (the late Edward Vaux, esq)” This must refer to Edward
senior as his son Edward was still alive.
2. An Edward Vaux was listed in 1800 s a member of the committee responsible
for the affairs of the “Society for the Registry of Shipping”, which was very
closely associated with the Lloyds market.
3. An Edward Vaux was shown as a director of Globe Insurance of London, est
1803, in 1844
4. There is a reference to “Edward Vaux of London and Edward Vaux the younger,
insurance brokers, 1795” on the internet, but with a broken link.
This reinforces the idea that Edward Vaux and his son were important members of
the Insurance world of London.
5. Referring to Lord Mansfield[114]
“Modern commercial lawyers may be surprised to find much in this historical
account that is familiar. Mansfield incorporated merchant customs and usage
into the common law. Prominent London merchants variously served as witnesses,
special jurors and arbitrators in commercial cases. Indeed, one merchant, Edward
Vaux, was said to have “almost as much authority as the Lord Chief Justice
himself” in such cases. Mansfield initiated procedural reforms to deal
expeditiously with his high volume case-load. He “was a decided friend to the
arbitration process as an efficacious means of concluding cases that presented no
question of law or need for jury deliberation, or that would be well served by
an arbitrator’s expertise.” Mansfield’s inclination to use “common sense to
get at the truth” made him a great modernising influence on procedure and
commercial law....[115]

this birth date comes from the Quaker testimonial, but conflicts with a record

John Bell of High Castle House 16th of the 12th month
1685 (ie 16th Feb 1686). However, another birth, Sarah in 1679,
looks to have been at Setmurthy, on the north end of Bathenthwaite Lake.
Died: aged 72 24/2/1758 Tottenham, bur 2/3/1758, Quaker Cemetery, Winchmore
Hill, Tottenham
The worthy and much esteemed friend, Daniel Bell, departed this life the 24th
2nd mth called February 1758 of an asmatic disorder and was buried
at Winchmorehill the 2nd day of the 3rd mth following
aged about 72 years see the testimony concerning him in the monthly meeting
book[116].
From Jonathan Bell Memoir (Daniel’s son):
“Daniel was sent to Royston, to learn agriculture, at an early age – during his
residence there he became acquainted (but how I don’t know) with the family of
David Barclay, then living at Bush Hill, near Enfield (Mx), I shall just
mention that D.B. was a direct descendant of the famous Robert Barclay, well
known for his great work – an apology for Quakerism. David was an eminent
Merchant, possessor of a considerable Fortune, and lived in an expensive style,
had a numerous family and was in high standing of Society – a Strict Quaker, as
were all his children, but I shall stop here, as to him, tho’ I could fill a
volume with the history of the Barclay Blood. His youngest daughter was
Catherine, a lovely young woman, and had numerous admirers and lovers.
The young Farmer fell in love with her, and she with him, and after a long
courtship and through many difficulties, won her, with a good fortune,
Daniel was a long time minister of the Quaker friends, and travelled a
extensively round the various meetings, including Ireland. A 1760 publication:
“A collection of Testimonies concerning several ministers of the Gospel amongst
the people called Quakers Deceased” gives a good account of his life in the
Friends.”
Daniel inherited Hundith Hill from his brother, John, who died 10/1/1744.
In his will, he left to his son Jonathan property in Cumberland, at Hatfield
Hyde and White Hart Lane (London), and to his son Daniel shares in the (Quaker)
Lead Company (probably the Bristol Lead Company) and in the Bristol Wire and
Battery Company, which became the Saltford Brass Mill[117]. These were Quaker
connected enterprises, with, amongst others, Abraham Darby of Coalbrookdale as
a manager of the latter. He also mentions property in (New) Jersey and New
Hampshire in America.
His interests show the extent of the interconnections of the Quaker movements,
both at home and in America. There is no indication what his American interests
were.
Married:
The Quaker record of the birth of his sons has his wife Elizabeth.
the Quaker Records has her as Elizabeth Sole, born about 1688 in Chipping
Norton, married 15 October 1717, Witney Quaker Meeting[118].
There seem to be no suitable recorded births of Elizabeth,
within the Oxfordshire area: she was probably Quaker, or at least
non-conformist, so the records may not have survived.
Elizabeth Bell, wife of Daniel Bell of Tottenham, aged about 52 years, who died
the 21st of the 6th Month called August, 1740 of a slow
fever and was buried at Winchmore Hill the 25th [119].
Daniel had issue, Jonathan & Daniel from Qaker & other records, the
remainder from a pedigree of Bell of Hundith Hill[120]:

BELL. At his house at Hertford, in his 75th year, Mr. Jonathan Bell, one of the
people called Quakers, formerly an eminent shopkeeper in Tottenham, but retired
many years, and elder brother to Mr. Daniel Bell, coal merchant, at Stamford
Hill. Mr. Bell’s integrity, communicative and friendly disposition, will make
him remembered with esteem by all who knew him. Another entry has him about 72.
JBM: “.... one Brother (Jonathan) who lived as a retired gentleman from a
business which he carried on at Tottenham, with high credit and success, he was
highly respected by all ranks and altho’ a Plain Quaker visited by all the
Aristocracy of the County – a Bachelor, in a capital residence, constantly
employed in Charitable objects, was, as was natural much sought after. He was
intelligent, kind-hearted, particularly Polite and Courteous and esteemed, nay
beloved by all ranks.....”
Of Bailey Hall, Heilford. On 12th December 1746 he married Elizabeth Owen,
daughter of Frances Owen, who had married his uncle John Bell of Lombard
Street, she being the widow of Thomas Owen, brewer, of Southwark, and daughter
of Thomas Zachary of London. He was born 23rd December 1719 and died 23rd March
1780. They had children[123]:

She married, 25/5/1780, William
Dodgson of Likeside, in the parish of Kirklington, Cumberland, yeoman. He was a
son of John and Grissel (or Grace Routledge) Dodgson of Likeside. They had a
son William (the transcript must be in error – William looks to have been born
1749, a year after his mother’s birth)
William, who died aged 91 years on 15th July 1840, this must be William married

A Testimony from Tottenham Monthly Meeting, in the County of Middlesex,
concerning DANIEL BELL[125].
OUR eminent and worthy Friend Daniel Bell, was the Son of Jonathan and Rebecca Bell, of Cockermouth in Cumberland, both descended of reputable Parents, and well esteemed in the Society.
He was born the 12th Day of the Twelfth month 1685; and being soberly and religiously inclined from his Youth, was often favoured with the tendering and refreshing Influence of Divine Love; so that when very young, he was frequently drawn to solitary Places for Retirement and Prayer; and, as he has several times occasionally mentioned, renewed his resolutions to persevere in Obedience to those early Reaches of Divine Grace and Favour; and was often fully persuaded, that by continuing faithful therein, he should be conducted safely through the various occurrences that might attend him in this Life; frequently remembering the Importance of that solemn Advice of Christ to his Followers, Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and his Righteousness, and all these Things shall be added unto you. And as he continued faithful in Obedience, he found it effectually verified in himself.
Soon after his coming to London, which was in the Year 1703, he entered into an Apprenticeship; and his circumspect and religious Deportment drew the Notice, and gained him the Affection, of solid Friends; and joining in an intimate Conversation with some of the most religious young Men, they had many precious Opportunities of Retirement together, to their mutual Edification and Growth in the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ; which hindered not, but promoted, their Success in what they engaged in of temporal Concerns.
He came forth in the Ministry about the Year 1705; and his Service, in that Capacity, was well approved by Friends and others. About the Year 1708, he had a Concern to visit his native Country; and having obtained Leave of his Master, and with the Concurrence of the Monthly-meeting he belonged to, he set out from London the 25th of the Second Month 1708, accompanied with some Friends from thence to Uxbridge, where there was a Burial, which occasioned a large Number of People, who were attentive to the Testimony born, and the Lord’s Power was in Dominion, to the tendering of many Souls. And one of the Friends accompanied him into visiting Meetings in the several Counties they passed through, where they had many tendering and comfortable Seasons. And being come to his Father’s Habitation : —Please to take his own Account of the Reception he met with there, viz.
“My dear Patents, said he, received me with such Gladness; and that Evening many Friends came to see me, and our Hearts were cemented together in the Enjoyment of Divine Love, which was largely shed abroad amongst us. Blessed be the God of Truth for ever, who remembers his breathing Seed. On the Third-day Morning I went to Pardsey-crag Meeting, and called to see our dear Friends James Dickinson and Wife, who went to Meeting, and a glorious Time we had, to the Joy and Satisfaction of many. And tarrying some Weeks in the County, I visited the Meetings in general, where we had many comfortable Seasons; and I accompanied several Friends, appointed to visit Families, and had good Satisfaction in our Visit; the Lord’s owning Power did attend us in a wonderful Manner; he was pleased to open the States of Friends Families very particularly, to the Edification of his People, in the Places where we came”
At the Quarterly-meeting for Cumberland, he met our Friend John Bell, and from thence they continued together till they returned to London, visiting Friends Meetings in the Counties through which they passed, where they had many satisfactory Times. In that Journey he had good Service, for the Comfort and Edification of the Faithful, and his Testimony had a great Reach on many of the Youth.
In 1710, he visited the Meetings twice in Kent, Sussex, Hampshire
and Surrey. In 1711, he entered upon a Visit to Friends Meetings in most Parts
of England, Scotland and Ireland, where several were convinced by his Ministry;
and he returned to London the 6th of the Fourth Month 1713: Soon after which, he
travelled in the adjacent Counties, and also in the Western, visiting Meetings.
In the Year 1713, he took a Journey in the Western and Northern Counties. In
1715 and 1718, he travelled in the South and West Parts: In 1744, in the North
and East. In 1745, 1746, and 1747, he travelled in the North and West Parts. In
1748, he made general Visit to the Northern and Midland Counties; and to the same
in 1750: And his last and concluding Visit to these Parts, was in the Year
1755. Since which time, he frequently travelled into the adjacent Counties, in
the Service of the Gospel.
He was sound and edifying in his Testimony, often drawn forth in Points of Doctrine with great Clearness, which tended to the Opening the Understanding into the Doctrine of the Christian Faith and Practice. He was very affectionate for the Youth, and often engaged, in his public Ministry, for their Good; his Counsel to them was weighty and, of great Importance, delivered in so tender and affectionate Manner, as made him truly amiable in their View : In short, we believe him to have been a sanctified Vessel for the Lord’s Use. And being often times favoured with the qualifying Influences of the Divine Spirit, his Doctrine dropt as the Dew, to the great Refreshment of the Heritage of God and there are many living Witnesses that can set Seal to his Ministry and Labours of endeared Love amongst us.
He was constant in attending Meetings, both for Worship and Discipline. His Conversation was exemplary, sincere, and courteous; not tenacious, but condescending. He was diligent and industrious in Business, when at liberty from religious Duties, and the Service of the Church. He was a loving Husband, a tender and affectionate Parent, a kind and gentle Master, well beloved by his Relations and Friends, and esteemed by his Neighbours.
The last Time he was at Meeting, he was remarkably favoured with Power from on high; which was so demonstrated by the Fullness and Clearness of his Testimony, as to be taken particular Notice of by divers Friends that were present.
In his last Illness he was attended with the Over-shadowings of Divine Goodness; and though the Prospect of losing so dear a Relation, and so worthy a Friend, could not but be Matter of Sorrow and Affliction; yet, in the Midst thereof, the sweet Frame of Mind in which he was, when confined to his Chamber and his Bed, has caused great Joy and Comfort to all about him, his Soul being filled with Prayer and Praises to the God of his Salvation, in whom he had believed; and he who had been his Morning Light, he found to be his Evening Song: Breaking out often in Heavenly Expressions, saying, Mercy and Peace, abounded to his great Consolation; and that he had done his Day’s work. On a Friend coming to pay him a Visit, a few Days before he died, he said to him, The Lord has been my Stay and my Staff, and has helped me along, and find him to be so now.
He departed this Life the 24th Day of the Second Month 1758, at his House at Tottenham in Middlesex, and was honourably buried, the 2d of the Third Month following, in Friends Burial Ground at WInchmore Hill, the Meeting being attended by many Friends from London and the adjacent Counties, and several ' weighty Testimonies born, to the Comfort and Edification of those present; and we have not the least Doubt, but this our worthy Friend is gone to that State of everlasting Rest and Peace, where the Wicked cease from troubling, and the Weary are at Rest.
Aged Seventy two, a Minister Fifty three Years.

The Bell family farm at Hundith Hill near Embleton was said to have been in
their hands since the time of Henry VIII. The Bells were among the first
Cumbrian Quakers. John Bell (1625 - 1670)[xxxii]
became a Quaker in c.1653 when George Fox, the founder of the Society of
Friends, preached in Cumbria[126].

Daniel’s birth date of 12/12/1685, comes from the Quaker testimonial, but conflicts with a record in the Pardshaw Quaker meeting, of the son, John born to John Bell of High Castle House, 16th of the 12th month 1685 (ie 16th Feb 1686). However, another birth, Sarah in 1679, looks to have been at Setmurthy, on Bassenthwaite Lake.
There are issue of John Bell, High Backhouse, Setmurthy
who must be a different family from Daniel’s father, although they are recorded
in the Pardshaw Meeting:

web site of the kinloch hotel, Argyl, in which there are several family tree
files. This refers back to a 1912 short book of Family Chroniclas, by Lillian
Clark for the descendacy from Jonathan Bell, b 1654.
From Roger Sharland, 8/2019:
The Bell family originate from the Cockermouth area of Cumberland. So far as
the history of the family has been traced, it begins with the marriage of John
Bell [1,648] on 2nd April 1651, to his wife Elizabeth [1,649], at Embleton,
near Cockermouth. This couple appear to have been Congregationalists, as the
only mention of them is found in the History of the Congregational Chapel at
Cockermouth. Cockermouth Independent (Congregationalist) church (now the United
Reformed Church) was established in 1651, meeting first in members’ houses,
then, from 1687, in a converted house on The Sands. It is there stated that in
1668 the congregation met their Minister, who had been expelled under the Five
Mile Act, at the house of John Bell at Embleton. At this time the congregation
was suffering serious losses owing to the numbers that had joined the Society
of Friends, including as seen below John and Elizabeth’s son.
Cockermouth is an ancient market town in the Borough of Allerdale in Cumbria. It is so named because it is at the confluence of the River Cocker as it flows into the River Derwent. By the 1670s, Sir Daniel Fleming could call Cockermouth ‘the best Market Towne in this part of the county’, with many fine buildings and ‘no small reputation’. Its weekly market, fortnightly cattle fairs and Whitsuntide and Martinmas hiring fairs drew custom from a wide hinterland. Water power provided by the rivers Cocker and Derwent and two major becks, drove corn and fulling mills from the 12th century. Much of the architectural core of the town remains unchanged since the basic medieval layout was filled in the 18th and 19th centuries. Embleton is a small village located east of Cockermouth, and now within the boundaries of the Lake District National Park.
John and Elizabeth had ten children. Their eldest son was
Jonathan Bell [824] who was born on 1st December 1654 in Cockermouth. He was a
member of the “Society of Friends” or Quakers. He married Rebecca Hall [825] of
Little Broughton on 23rd May 1679 in Pardshaw Monthly Meeting, Whitehaven,
Cockermouth.
Rebecca was probably the Rebekah Hall christened on 23rd February 1654 in
Bridekirk, Cumberland, daughter of Richard Hall. Bridekirk is only a few miles
from Cockermouth. Bridekirk church has been completely rebuilt, but the font
(right is very old and distinctive. A quote about her father in Bell records
reads, "he fought first for the King; then for the Commonwealth; and
finally turned Quaker and gave up fighting altogether." This was almost
certainly Richard Hall [1,650] of whom there is a more lengthy description in
the Hall family history. Richard’s wife was called Jane [1,651]. According to
an inscription on the fly-leaf of his Bible, Richard was at one time a trooper
in the King’s Guards. He then changed sides and became a Roundhead during the
Civil War, probably as a result of a change in his religious opinions. He was
said to be in the army that besieged Cockermouth Castle , and this had an
impact on his religious and political stance. He came under the influence of
the Friends and himself became a Quaker as a result. There were Quakers in the
Cockermouth area from early in the history of Quakerism. Richard withdrew from
the Parliamentary Army and settled in Broughton, and gave the land for the
Meeting House built there. The first Meeting House in Little Broughton however
was not built until about 1687. Richard died in 1673, and Jane died 19 years
later, in 1692.
Jonathan was Governor of Cockermouth Castle, the same as his father-in-law had besieged in the Civil War. The coloured engraving by the artists Samuel and Nathaniel Buck is titled “The North-West View of Cockermouth Castle, in the County of Cumberland”. It appears in the publication titled “A Collection of Engravings of Castles, Abbeys and Towns in England and Wales Date published 26 March 1739”. It is therefore much as the castle was at the time of Jonathan.
They lived at Hundith Hill: now a counry house hotel just
south of Cockermouth (9/2019).
There is also a Hundith Hill Court (Rd) in Lorton, Virginia: this must have
been an area owend by the Bells.
Hundith Hill Tithe Map, the grey area being owned by Hundith Hill Farm, Mire
End showing where the hotel now stands.
Hundith Hill Farm on the 1867 OS map is simply Hundith Hill.
Jonathan died on 31st December 1721, recorded at Pardshaw Monthly Meeting[xxxiii]. The will of Jonathan Bell (1654-1721) of Hundith Hill, Embleton and Cockermouth Castle, is held at the Lancashire Records Office, Preston. Rebecca died on 18th September 1732, and was buried in Pardshaw. The photo on the right is the burial ground as it is today.
Jonathan and Rebecca had ten children amongst who was Daniel Bell [412] who was born on 12th December 1685 at Cockermouth. He moved to London in 1703, and soon afterwards entered into an apprenticeship. He was a prominent Minister in the “Society of Friends” , travelling to many parts of the country with the gospel. He married Elizabeth Sole [413] on 15th August 1717 in the Friends Meeting House, Witney.

Adomon to Rebecca Bell
The history of the Bell family begins so far as I have been able to trace it,
on 2nd April 1651[132],
when John Bell was married to his wife Elizabeth of Embleton, near Cockermouth
in Cumberland.
Of the after life of this couple we know little, the only mention of them being in the ’History of the Congregational Chapel’ at Cockermouth’, in which it is stated that in 1668 the congregation met their Minister who had been exiled under the Five Mile Act on the 15th May at the house of John Bell, Embleton[133], hence we may conclude that at that date the Bells were Congregationalists.
John Bell’s house was a farm known as Hundith Hill, and is still standing being described as a very ordinary house, but evidently very old, the house and farm buildings being built in the form of an enclosed square for the purpose of defence.
John and Elizabeth Bell had a large family being as followsJBM:
1/1. Ann Bell, b. 25/12/1651
1/2. Jonathan Bell, b. 01/12/1654, inherited paternal estate.
1/3. Elizabeth Bell, b. 02/12/1656
1/4. John b. 20/02/1658, The first of the family who came to London.
Kept a Coal Shed in Westminster.
1/5. Mary Bell, b. 08/10/1661, Married a Fisher –
had some children of whom two were named Jonathan & John the last survived his Brother, he died in 1786 aged upwards of 92 years.
1/6. Rebecca Bell, b. 28/09/1663
1/7. Daniel Bell, b. 05/10/1665,
Was a tanner at Keswick. He had two sons, one John who married and settled in Lancashire, the other David who was a cabinet maker in St Martins lane Charing Cross where he died and was buried in St Martins Church, St Martins Lane.
1/8. Hannah Bell, b. 23/12/1667
In the history of the Congregational Church already referred to, mention is made
of the serious loss that befell the Congregation of the Chapel owing to the
numbers that joined the Society of Friends.
Among these seceders was apparently Jonathan Bell, eldest
son of John and Elizabeth, for we find that he married a lady who belonged to
that body.
These were the descendants of Col David Barlcay, the 1st of Urie
in Kinkardinshire.
A direct descendant was Katherine Barclay, who married Daniel Bell and
whose grand daughter, Louisa married John Craven Chadwick, the first of the
Canadian Chadwicks. Our line includes Priscilla Freame, another Quaker banking
and commercial family, one of whom joined to form the first iteration of the
bank.
The dynasty of bankers begun by John Barclay was reinforced by several alliances
with other banking families, John's grandson Robert marrying Elizabeth,
daughter of Joseph Gurney, another Quaker banker. The line continued through
their second son, Joseph Gurney Barclay, of Knott's Green, who married Mary,
daughter of William Leatham, another banker, and then through Robert Barclay,
of High Leigh, who merged twenty banks into Barclay & Company Limited, and
who married Elizabeth Ellen Buxton, whose mother was a Gurney. Their eldest
son, Robert Leatham Barclay, married Dorothy, daughter of Sir Robert Williams,
1st Bt, another banker. After the death of Robert Leatham Barclay in 1939, the
representation of this branch of the family passed to his nephew, Theodore
David Barclay, of Higham, Bury St Edmunds, and thence to his son, David William
Barclay.
A fuller history of the origins of the bank was written by Margaret
Ackrill & Leslie Hannah in 2001: “Barclays, the Business of Banking
1690-1996”. The outline of this family came from “The Barclays of New York -
who they are and who they are not - and some other Barclays”, 1912, New York.
Much is available in the Quaker records, which give a varied amount of detail.
The Quaker Dublin wills has several relevant ones printed.
John Barclay, brother of David (1682), became a merchant in Dublin, with
issue there.
Much of the following is from the Quaker records. Very often, men are
described as, for example, a “Citizen and Draper of London”. This must mean
that they were freemen of the City and a member of a Guild.

JBM: “...It is however chiefly as the Apologist of the Quakers that Robert
Barclay is remembered. His chief work, “An Apology for the true Christian
Divinity, as the same is hold forth and preached, by the people called in
Scorn, Quakers, being a Full Explanation and Vindication of their Principles
and Doctrines” was first published in Latin, in the beginning of 1676 and in

Much of this comes fom “The Barclays of New York : who they are and who they
are not, and some other Barclays”: it seems to agree with the parish recods,
except that the earlier dates are adrift by 2 months: the Quaker records change
the year at the end of February. Some have the month in brackets, but others
just the month number.
JBM: “...This lady is said to have been a Member of the Society of Friends
before her marriage, and was in every way a worthy helpmeet for her husband. A
friend, writing of her in 1694 says: “I observed that when her children were up
in the morning and dressed, she sat down with them before breakfast, and in a
religious manner waited upon the Lord: which pious care and motherly
instruction of her children, when young, doubtless had its desired effect upon
them; for as they grew in years, they also grew in knowledge of the blessed
Truth; and since that time some of them have become public preachers thereof.”
“According to Testimony of the Monthly Meeting of Ury, “she was a well
accomplished woman every way, and of singular virtues, which she improved to
the praise of the Lord. She was an excellent Mother, a kind and helpful friend
to the poor and sick among her neighbours, and was universally lamented when
she died on the 14th day of the 12th month, 1723, in the 76th year of her age.”

Married, 2nd, Sarah Anne Allardyce[140], and left a son also
named Robert, who assumed the name of Allardyce after that of Barclay. He
succeeded to Ury on his father’s death in 1797 and was widely known for his
extraordinary powers of walking. On his death in 1854 the direct line of the
Barclays od Ury came to an end: and the property
passed out of the family which had held it for two hundred years.[141]

This Member was the great-grandson of Robert Barclay, the Quaker ‘Apologist’
and colonizer of East New Jersey, and was connected by kinship and marriage
with a number of wealthy London merchant families including Barclays the
brewers. By his second marriage he acquired large estates and additional
interest in Kincardineshire and Aberdeen Burghs,2 and thereafter was known as
Barclay Allardice of Urie and Allardice. ‘Possessed of an enterprising spirit
and extensive knowledge in agriculture, which he acquired by reading ... and by
his own observations in the different tours which he made on foot in his
younger years through Scotland and a great part of England’, he was a pioneer
of the new farming methods in the county. A popular and philanthropic landlord,
he laid out a new village adjoining Stonehaven, and during the famine of 1783
organized ‘a benevolent society for purchasing meal and grain to be retailed at
an underprice’. In 1785 his wife’s claim for recognition as heir of line to her
ancestor the Earl of Airth and Menteith, was successful and thereafter
Barclay’s ‘great object’ was to secure the peerage for his family.
In 1788 Barclay was returned with the support of Henry Dundas, and voted with
Pitt on the Regency bill. He is not known to have spoken in the House.
Barclay Allardice, who used his influence in Aberdeen Burghs to help oust the
Whig sitting Member in 1790, retained his own seat for Kincardineshire without
opposition until his death. He continued to give apparently silent support to
government and voted, as predicted, against the relief of Scotsmen from the
Test Act, 10 May 1791, and against the abolition of the slave trade, 15 Mar.
1796. He was a defaulter ordered to attend the House, 24 Nov. 1795.
His consuming interest was in the development and application of scientific
agricultural techniques: he was described as ‘the first, the most extensive,
and judicious systematic improver of land in the north of Scotland’. In his
domestic life he preserved the Quaker traditions of his ancestors. His
granddaughter recalled him as very cheerful, orderly, active, acute as a man of
business, and most kindly in his consideration and thought for the welfare and
happiness of all about him. He gave his charity in a benevolent, considerate
and business way ... and supplied the want kindly, beneficently yet not
lavishly, with a completeness that showed his pleasure in giving, yet with an
orderly economy.
Barclay Allardice, who founded the town of Stonehaven, died 8 Apr. 1797.

Col. David Barclay was the son of David Barclay (1580–1660), 11th of Mathers,
of Kincardineshire, Scotland and Elizabeth Livingstone, daughter of John
Livingston of Dunipace.
Colonel David Barclay, who served with distinction under Gustavus Adolphus,
King of Sweden, and, on his return home, attained the rank of Colonel during
the great civil war. went to Germany in 1626 to make his fortune as a soldier.
He rose to the rank of Major in the army of the King of Sweden, during the
Thirty Years War. However, in 1636 he returned to Scotland to fight in the
covenanting army, “ got a regiment of horse, became colonel, dislodged and
routed Montrose 1646, relieved Inverness, made governor of Strathbogie ; after
the battle of Preston he was deprived of all employments by Cromwell,
represented Forfarshire and Kincardineshire (Angus and Meam) 1654-6, 1656-8,
imprisoned in Edinburgh Castle about 1664, joined the Society of Friends, then
called Quakers, in 1666, imprisoned in Aberdeen 21 March, 1676, “ for going to
worship contrary to law,” and again the year following[152].
In 1647 he purchased the lands and barony of Urie from William, 7th Earl
Marischal.
Wikipedia:
Originally the estate belonged to the Frasers, then the Hays starting in 1413,
but eventually became the property of the Earl Marischal.
Ury House is a large ruined mansion in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, built in the
Elizabethan style in 1885 by Sir Alexander Baird, 1st Baronet. It is situated
on the north-east coast about 1 mile (1.6 km) north of Stonehaven in the former
county of Kincardineshire.
Colonel David Barclay purchased Urie in a lengthy process in the late 1660s and
his descendants owned it through 1854 when the estate was purchased by the
Baird family.(source Clan Barclay and newspaper archives Stonehaven). The
second laird was his son, Robert Barclay the Quaker apologist. It descended to
Robert Barclay Allardice (MP) (1732-1797) and then to his son Captain Barclay,
the celebrated pedestrian.
On 26 January 1648, he married Katherine Gordon (1621–1663), daughter of Sir
Robert Gordon, 1st Baronet, MP (1580–1656), founder of the Gordonstoun estate,
and Louisa Gordon of London, on December 24, 1647 in Kincardine. Katherine was
a third cousin of Charles I.[2]
By Katherine he had two daughters, Lucy and Jean, and three sons, Robert, John,
and David.

to Scotland in the train of Queen Margaret, ca 1069, and became Laird of Towie
(in the Parish of Turriff, Aberdeenshire). He had two sons, Walter, who m the
heiress of Gartley, and Alexander, ancestor of the line of Towie (and the
Barclays of Crawfordjohn, Kilburnie, Brechin and Collairnie). The descent can
be proved from Sir Walter, said to have been 3rd of Gartley, grandson of Walter
and the heiress of Gartley. He was Chamberlain of Scotland, 1165-1189, and was
succeeded by his brother Theobald's sons, Humphrey (dspm 1225) and John as 4th
and 5th of Gartley. The son of John, 5th of Gartley was Sir Robert, 6th of Gartley,

The Freame family of Gloucestershire were were local land owners (Manor of
Nether Lypiatt) and in the cloth trade in the 17thC and 18thC,
and owned mills in the Stroud area, which are described in The Origins of the
Cloth Mills of the Stroud Valley[153].
Bigland’s MI of Gloucestershire has a number on inscriptionsFMP. An
early member would have been Thomas Freame, esq of Lypiatt, buried Bisley,
January 1659[154].
A summary mainly comes from a life of Francis Galton, a Freame descendant.[155]
The Freames spring from Robert Freame of Cirencester[xxxiv]. The pedigree
illustrates the three stages, yeomanry, town traders, and ultimately mercantile
houses. Thus the brothers Robert and John of Aldgate were grocers, but John was
a goldsmith as well. John Freame of Bushhill, Edmonton, married Priscilla
Gould, and his sister Hannah married Thomas Gould, probably her brother. Of
Robert Freame's children by his first wife the most interesting is Thomas, who
went to Philadelphia. He married in 1725 Margaret Penn-daughter of William Penn
by his second wife Hannah Callowhill of Bristol-and their daughter,
Philadelphia Hannah Freame, became Viscountess Cremorne. It was into the
business of the Freames, and' indeed into their very household, that David
Barclay of Ury came, when he walked up to London. Like the apprentice of
romance, but at a much later age, he married his master’s daughter Priscilla.
In conjunction with his brother-in-law, Joseph Freame, the business was
developed into a large banking and mercantile firm[xxxv]. Lucy Barclay, the
great-grandmother of Sir Francis Galton, was a child of this marriage.
But the Freame and Barclay intermarriages are by no means thus exhausted.
Sarah Freame, Priscilla’s sister, married David Barclay’s son James, by his
first wife, Ann Taylor. James Barclay and Sarah Freame had three children, two
sons who left no issue and a daughter Anne, who married James Allardyce. Their
daughter, Sarah Anne Allardyce, was the second wife of Robert Barclay (1731—1797)
and mother of Captain Robert Barclay Allardyce (the pedestrian, and last Robert
Barclay of Ury) and of Margaret Barclay, Mrs Hudson Gurney, the great-aunt, and
kind hostess to Francis Galtons sisters and himself. Robert, Margaret and Lucy
Barclay, who married Samuel Galton, were thus directly half brothers and
sisters, but in addition their mothers were granddaughter and
great-granddaughter of David Barclay of Cheapside, and granddaughter and
great-granddaughter of John Freame of Lombard Street! Captain Barclay, the
pedestrian, and Mrs Hudson Gurney were thus much closer in blood than great -
uncle and great-aunt to Francis Galton[xxxvi].
Lastly another sister of Priscilla Freame, Mary, married Thomas Plumstead of
London, and their daughter Priscilla married James Farmer of Bingley, the
partner ln Birmingham of Samuel Galton, the first. Their daughter in turn
became the wife of Charles Lloyd, who was the managing partner of a large
Birmingham bank. Thus Priscilla Farmer and Lucy Barclay were cousins, and this no
doubt brought Lucy Barclay the second into touch with Samuel Galton, and led to
their marriage. According to a memorandum of Samuel Galton, he met Lucy Barclay
at Hertford in 1776 for the first time, and married her in Oct. 1777, shortly
after his mother, Mary Farmers death. The pedigree (Plate C at the end of this
volume), in which a very large number of collaterals are omitted, will serve to
elucidate the complex relations of Freames, Barclays, Farmers and Galtons. Thus
Samuel Tertius Galton was second cousin to Hudson Gurney, and Sir Francis
himself great-nephew to Mrs Hudson Gurney, Margaret Barclay, the sister of the
pedestrian! It will be seen how the Freames, if not among the persecuted
Quakers, were associated with some of the most industrious, zealous and
noteworthy of the Quaker Stocks.
Footnote to an earlier paragraph:
On the other hand David Barclay of Youngsbury, Tertius Galton's great-uncle,
who had come into the possession of £10,000 of slaves for a business debt,
carried them to New York, taught them crafts and then, when they could maintain
themselves, emancipated them. This David Barclay (see Plate XXII) was one of
the finest characters of his time, a true humanitarian And a worthy descendant
of the Apologist.
There are mentions of Freames in some early wills “CIRENCESTER AREA WILLS 1591
– 1603”.
The records of the supposed time of his birth are few – probably the civil war
etc.

Internet:
John Freame was born in Cirencester the son of Robert Freame. In 1683 he was
apprenticed to Job Bolton, a quaker goldsmith based in Lombard Street. Upon
completion of his apprenticeship he went into partnership with Thomas Gould, a
fellow quaker. Located in a part of the city where 25% of the population were Quakers
they were able to build up their reputation - and their business particularly
amongst their co-religionists. The partners soon became more connected as John
married Priscilla, Thomas' sister, while Thomas married Hannah, John's sister.
At 21 he had completed his rigorous seven year apprenticeship and earned his
spurs as a 'freeman' of the city of London. He had a trusted partner Thomas
Gould, also a Quaker and freeman of the city. This famed partnership predated
the 1694 launch of the Bank of England and lasted in various forms until 1896.
In 1728, Freame moved to the present site in Lombard Street at the sign of the
Black Spread Eagle. The business expanded over the years and other properties
in Lombard Street were acquired. The banking partnership chose 54 Lombard
Street as their official address, but the sign of that house - the bible - was
thought to be inappropriate as a sign for a Quaker business, so they adopted
the Spread Eagle sign over the extended premises.

BRIEF MEMOIRS OF THE LIFE OF ANNE FREAME; with her Death-Bed Sayings.
AN UNPUBLISHED MANUSCRIPT OF A QUAKER PREACHER, FRIEND OF WILLIAM PENN, FOUNDING FATHER OF PENNSYLVANIA, WHOSE SON MARRIED PENN'S DAUGHTER, MARGARET. 57 pages. Bound in Contemporary full calf, gilt, with red title label to spine. An interesting and poignant memorial written by her widower Robert Freame, of Cirencester stock but lately of London, for their five children "that you may retain a lively and sensible remembrance of her virtuous and religious life". Robert first gives a short account of Anne's life, that she was devout from the age of twelve and began preaching at the age of fifteen, encouraged by eminent Quaker friends such as William Penn, Charles Marshall and Francis Stamper. She travelled the country preaching, visiting almost all of the English counties as well as Wales, and was well received. At the age of 24, she married Robert and together they had nine children, of which five survived. She appears to have been a quite remarkable woman who successfully balanced a family life with preaching and travelling............ "As she was earnest and diligent in this her spiritual service, she was mindful and willing to return home when her service was over". Anne had been a sickly child, and she contracted cold from laying in damp sheets whilst on a trip to the north of England. Robert then gives a detailed account of her death-bed scene and sayings. She is visited by William Penn, who she refers to as "the General and his Wife, whom I have often thought on with Pity for his Affliction:- The Lord comfort him, and give him patience. And I pray God, who has bl … [Click Below for Full Description]

Hello, I have just been looking at your records for James Cameron Young and
marriage to Gladys McDonald - my wife's family are related to Gladys. You have
shown James' death in 1940. I have just received a transcript of their marriage
certificate, which shows the marriage being 'dissolved' on 11th February 1978.
I'm therefore not sure of your death source. Cheers, Doug.

The above info is from Extract from Website of the Canadian
Bank Of Commerce
www.cibc.com/ca/remembers
Edward Cecil William Mockler was born on June 24, 1893 in Ireland. He entered the service of The Canadian Bank of Commerce in August 1912. Enlisting
in August 1914 from the Humbolt, Saskatchewan branch, he joined the 9th
Canadian Battalion and was later transferred to the 1st Canadian Battalion. Mockler
fought at Langemarck and the Second Battle of Ypres in 1915. He was severely
wounded during the first German gas attack at Ypres and succumbed to those
wounds on May 7, 1915.
Excerpt from his obituary:
With sincere sorrow we chronicle the sad death of this promising young soldier
who died in the military hospital, Cambridge, on 7th (May) from wounds received
in battle in France on 23rd of April. He belonged to the first Canadian
Regiment.
From the particulars we have been able to obtain it appears that, on account of
his knowledge of the French language, he was taken by his commanding officer on
a special mission in the carrying out of which they had to cross the enemy's
line of fire, and had only covered about five hundred yards when the Major fell
mortally wounded. The gallant young soldier, immediately in the face of a storm
of shot and shell, went to the assistance of his officer, who on point of
death, ordered him to go on.
In obedience he resumed his perilous journey, but had not gone far when he
received what turned out to be his death wound - a shrapnel charge in the back,
which penetrated a lung. To avoid further injuries, he threw himself down on
the ground but did not escape other wounds of a more or less serious character,
as well as the gas which had been directed against the French lines which he
was trying to reach, and which caused the French to break away.
After crawling inch by inch for about six hours he succeeded in reaching his
own lines, and although suffering awful agony he got into the ambulance
unassisted, and was conveyed to the base. Passing through four hospitals,
always on a stretcher, he eventually arrived at Cambridge at midnight on the
1st [of May]. Here he lingered until Friday last when he passed away, having
received every care and attention from the hospital staff.

MOCKLER, Lance Corporal Edward Cecil William. Born in
Ballinderry on the 24.6.1893 he was educated at the local school. At the aged
of 13 he won an Incorporated Society’s exhibition which entitled him to three
years free education at Dundalk Institution. A second exhibition gave him two
more years and residence at Mountjoy School in Dublin. On completing his
education he emigrated to Canada, against the advice of his principal who
wanted him to go to Trinity. Having secured a post with the Canadian Bank of
Commerce he sailed for Montreal in July 1912 and lived in Humboldt,
Saskatchewan for two years before joining up at Valcartier Camp, Quebec on the
22.9.14 aged 21 years and 3 months. A single man, he had no previous military
experience, was 5’ 8½” inches tall, of a dark complexion with blue eyes and
dark hair, he had a scar on the left side of his head. After training at
Valcartier he served in 1 CI WOR (I8822) being posted first to Salisbury and then to the Western Front in late march or early April 1915. He died in the
military hospital in Cambridge on the 7.5.15 age 21 from wounds received at
Langemarck near Ypres on the 22 or 23 April. Because of his knowledge of
French, he had been asked by Major Kimmins to accompany him to the French
lines. On their way there Kimmins was killed and Mockler hit in the back by
shrapnel which punctured his lung. Although he took cover, he was hit several
more times as well as being exposed to the gas which the Germans had released
on the French. It took him six hours to crawl back to his own lines from where
he was taken back to base, eventually arriving in hospital in Cambridge late on
the 1 May. His father was able to visit him in hospital before his death and
had his remains brought home on Sunday the 9th for burial on Tuesday 11th. The
son of Edward Mockler of Fruithill, Rose Lane Ends, Ballinderry, Co. Antrim who
sat on the Lisburn Board of Guardians, he is buried in the family plot in
Ballinderry Middle Church Cemetery, Ballinderry. According to a report of the
funeral in the Standard, “There was a large number present and it was evident
from the tear-brimmed eyes seen on all sides that the deceased was held in very
high esteem in the neighbourhood in which he was born and reared. Numerous
wreaths were sent by relatives and friends.” There is no headstone inscription.
A separate headstone records the death of Alice Maud Mockler on the 28.4.1895
and Thomas McCleavy Mockler on the 26.10.1922. A Miss Mockler of Ballinderry is
also recorded in the Belfast News Letter of 4.7.16 as a contributor to comforts
sent out to soldiers in 11 RIR in the first half of 1916.
The events in which Mockler was involved were described by John McCleland a
Dunmurry man who was also serving in the CEF. In a letter home to a friend in
the village he wrote, “I expect you have heard all about our heavy casualty
list. We got it good and hard while it lasted, but I might tell you we gave
quite as much as we got until the Germans started shelling with the poison gas
fumes. I could fill quite a few sheets of writing paper with what I came through
from April 22nd up until the morning of the 24th when I got hit and half
poisoned as well. We made two charges with fixed bayonets. I came through the
two charges without a scratch, but three hours later I was giving a wounded
comrade a drink and I got it good with a large chunk of shrapnel in the
shoulder fracturing some of the bones; but the gas is worse than their biggest
shells. The Germans did their best to break through our lines, but all efforts
failed. They even drove the French Algerians out of their position, and that’s
where we lost so many in recapturing the lost ground. We lost very heavily but
we saved the situation. To tell you proper, if they had got through and crossed
safely over the Yser canal there would have been nothing to prevent them being
in Calais”. It is not clear whether John McClelland survived the war or not.
There are a number of casualties with that name in the Commonwealth War Graves
Commission register but it is impossible to say whether he is one of them. As
for Major A. E. Kimmins, the CWGC records that he died on the 24 April 1915. He
has no known grave and is commemorated on the Menin Gate Memorial.

7.3.1 Letters to Jonathan Bell, b 1658
7.4 Letters from Maria Bell to her daughter Maria in Bordeaux
(Dec 1820 to June 1821)
7.5 Vaux Family by Jonathan Bell, 1850’s
There follows some extracts from Jonathn Bell’s Memoir
relating to the family of Maria, his wife family and her father, Edward Vaux
and others. These extracts were transcribed by Timothy Edgcumbe Ford.
P86 ff:
It is now my intention to sketch a short record of my wife’s family, which I
know will give her much pleasure, for what I shall have to say of them is
nothing but full of high respect & must convey to every one who will peruse
it’s a conviction of their excellency of their characters---
Maria was the eldest of 5 daughters & the second child there being 4 sons of
Edward Vaux Esq a Merchant & extensive Insurance Broker-I became acquainted
with the family through the intimacy I held with the elder son Jasper, accidentally occurring, I found them a particularly united family-most respectable in their Establishment, & conducted under regulations of strict order & regularity & boundless in liberality & hospitality - & have said this much of Stamford Hill Home, but there never was a happier home or a more closely untied one than the Vaux! Then living at Hackney – Their Measure of life was rather a confined one, they had not extensive family connections- but as the children advanced-they became more open to friends & they cultivated their associations with a numerous class of family acquaintance of the first respectability.
One of the uniting Chords of family attachment was that of Music-Father &
Daughters & Sons were all so.
Mr Vaux was no mean amateur on the Violin – his son Jasper played the Bass
& his daughters accompanied with the Piano & the love of singing was
equally prevalent in the son Jack it was conspicuously in fine tone
& is so now in his old days – my Wife had a great voice and
was generally admired for her taste & feeling – there was a great dramatic
charm in this – particularly serviceable to young men - I feel much interested
in the recollection of Mr Vaux, he was a most engaging, delightful man – very
striking handsome in person & with a fine capacity he united a most
cheerful animated temperament – generous – frank, high minded & noble in
principle he was more than commonly popular & admired – He was eminently
considered a first rate man of Business & his own particular sphere was
always referred to for sound opinion & judgment – he was constantly
employed as an Arbitrator – his decisions were always approved of & even
the Judicial Bench often bore witness to his talents &upright conclusions-
They were altogether a talented family – the son William became a Clergyman
& was highly esteemed for his knowledge & conduct - & was spoken of
in a flattering manner for the productions of his pen- The second daughter
Emma, married a Clergyman The Revd Simpkinson & it was her cleverness &
literary accomplishments that won his love-he was a very clever person, &
knew how to appreciate her.
Two other daughters-Eliza & Mary were married respectably two Brothers the Mr Eades – one had a melancholy result - the other was a happy one in abilities;
The youngest daughter Louisa must not be forgotten by me-she did not marry – nor is it likely now – her life was devoted to attend when her brother long confined with a lingering breakout – her character is stamped upon my mind as one of the sweetest most affectionate, engaging young women I ever knew-sensible & most earnest in everything worthy & amiable – she was a mere child when I married – devoted to my wife & even attached to me. The two eldest sons Jasper & Edward were gentlemen of excellent character & conduct-my friend was rather imperious in tempers-but most worthy-Edward the kindest friend possible both highly respected & now for my excellent friend the Mother----she was rather remarkable – the love of Order was her ruling passion-education-dress-habits-company-domestic affairs of every sort were always to be mathematically conducted & pursued – this principle governed her on the arrangement of her family & she brought them into life as remarkable persons in this principle-to her high honor. I record this of her but & where is there not a but - she was such a chairman of particularity as to make her be considered rather a fidgety person – another weakness prevailed too. The constant fear of other peoples opinion of her management---
Mrs Vaux reverenced her husband & I really am of
opinion she never held her head up after his death, tho’ she lived some years –
I have said a word or so of Maria in other memoirs-what can I say now –
I awakened an ardent affection in her to the surprise of all the family
for they all thought she nor any of them could ever love anyone but one another
– but I carried off the Jewel.

Extracts received from John Kelly, Hillview, Chadville, Cappawhite Co. Tipperary Ireland: J Kelly[xxxviii] 9/2002.
Extract from Toemverig by Áine Ryan 1992 ie history of Toem in the
parish of Cappawhite Co Tipperary
In 1781, Richard Chadwick was appointed curate to the Civil parish of Toem and
Donohill in the Cashel Diocese Co. Tipperary Ireland until 1792. He was then
appointed Prebendary of Doon Co Limerick an adjoining parish.
The earliest allusion that we can find to the church that stood at Toem is in
the Down Survey (1657), when it was stated to be in ruins. It was rebuilt after
the Restoration, as appears from a church‑list of 1667‑70. From the
middle of the 18th century Toem allusions are fairly numerous in the Visitation
Books. It was in repair in 1744 and 1753.
In 1780 it was reported that the church, churchyard, books and vestments were
in very bad order, while in the following year there was said to be "no
church." However, some repairs were effected., from 1782 it was described
as been in excellent order. In 1784 the Rural Dean complained that boys played
handball against the church, “which is indecent . We can hardly blame them for
utilizing such a tempting surface of bare wall. This practice went on with
respect to other churches in the diocese, but in one instance at least a stop
was put to this by the simple expedient of ploughing up the ground where the
ball hopped. In 1788 it was reported that the pulpit and the pew
belonging to the Rev. R. Chadwick (who resided at Chadville) were in
good order, but that the remaining pews were in decay as the parishioners would
not take the trouble to get them mended. In 1777 and 1797 the outside was being
repaired, while the interior was in a very bad way; however, in 1805 matters
were improved in this respect. Yet, in 1834 the church is described as ruinous,
impossible to repair, and inconveniently situated, and it was then proposed
that a new one should be erected on the townland of Cappawhite; this proposal
was not carried out. Nothing was done immediately, for Lewis, writing three
years later, says: "The Church is a small dilapidated building, and it is
in contemplation to erect another; in the meantime service is performed in
Cappagh House." The latest church must have been erected shortly after
this, though we have not been able to find out the exact date. Subsequently to
the erection of Donohill church in 1856 (Aghacrew) service was held in the two
simultaneously, but Toem gradually fell into disuse, and for some years before
1880 was only used for occasional services. A baptism was administered there as
late as 1886. It was taken down about 1890 as in the Vestry Book a resolution
stands under that year to the effect that the bell which formerly hung in the
tower should be sold to the Rev. W.H. Lindesay, L.L.D., for four pounds while
three years later portion of the money realised by the sale of the materials
was used to repair the roof of Donohill church. The tower still remains, a
conspicuous object in the landscape.

Richard Chadwick MA collated July 20tth. Installed August 4th.. He resigned on 29th January 1811 for the parish of Doon Co Limerick
In 1781 Richard Chadwick was curate of Doon Union
From the 4th Ecclesiastical Commission Report for Ireland in 1838:"Doone Glebe House and offices in excellent order, built under the old acts in 1800 at the cost of six hundred and forty six pounds, three shillings and one penny. But of which sum ninety two pounds six shillings and two pennies was granted in way of a gift by the late Board of First Fruits, and the residue of five hundred and fifty three pounds, sixteen shillings and 11 pennies was supplied out of the private funds of the builder (Rev Richard Chadwick) to whom the present incumbent (Rev Charles Coote) is second in succession, and having paid his predecessor four hundred and fifteen pounds seven shillings and eight and a half pennies on account of the sum last named and since expended £1,053 British in improvements under certificate, he will be entitled to receive £1,066 thirteen shillings and five and a half pennies from his successor, on account of the building and improvement changes. Incumbent is constantly resident in the glebe‑house."
This house was two storeys over a basement with a southerly aspect. The main entrance was from the Knocknacarriga side with a sweeping drive through the lawn on which still stands many beautiful mature trees. There is a completely enclosed court‑yard directly at the back of the house, one side of this is taken up by a protruding wing from the back of the house, with the other two wings taken up by stables and staff quarters. Because the house is built on a steep north sloping hill there are fine brick vaulted out‑houses and cellars under the left hand wing of the courtyard, these are connected by an unusual passageway to the house itself. 30 metres to the east is a fine kitchen‑garden much intact. The outline of a large conservatory to the right of the house when facing it can still be traced. It also had tennis courts and a billiard room and tradition has it that there was a Mass Path through the yard during the Penal Times.
The house was maliciously burnt down during the 'troubles' and is beyond repair, but as is usual with a lot of these country houses, the stables and outbuildings are in remarkably good condition.

The Betrayal and Execution of Paddy Grace
By John J. Hassett
Richard Chadwick 1800-1827 a local magistrate as well as weight master in
Tipperary and land agent for Billy Sadlier of Sadliers Wells, Tipperary, was a
man of some importance in social and property circles in West and Mid Tipperary
in 1827. His uncle, Billy Sadlier was landlord of considerable properties in
County Tipperary and an active supporter and promoter of the Orange Order in
Tipp Town. Chadwick resided at Reddins Walk, Tipperary, was about twenty-seven
years of age and as weightmaster of Tipperary Town and district as well as a
land agent, enjoyed a good income.
As a land agent he was firm by the standards of the time. He was in his second
year in that capacity when he began to experience difficulty with some tenants
on the Sadlier lands at Rathcannon. Evictions followed which led to unrest and
the burning of a house and a few lots of hay. As a magistrate, Chadwick had the
power to transfer police to the area. In May 1827 he had permission to erect a
police barrack at Rathcannon, to curb and monitor the activities of secret
societies operating in the area. On the last day of June 1827 he was in
Rathcannon, to supervise the marking out of the foundations for the building to
house the police, where the Balicourt in that townland now stands on the road
linking Bohernacrusha to Clogher and Clonoulty. Having completed some rent
collections the previous day and earlier on that Saturday morning of June 30th
1827, he arrived on the site at Rathcannon, about 1 1.20 am. The foreman on the
site was Philip Mara, who with two of his brothers and nine locals were part of
the building team present and ready to start work. At noon the first sod of the
site was dug. Philip Mara the foreman was a tenant of Sadlier's, had difficulty
meeting his rent, and was under pressure from Chadwick around December of 1826.
After the usual deliberations in the wake of the cutting of the first sod,
Chadwick, accompanied by Mara and a Malachy Neale proceeded towards Holycross;
another worker, Gleeson, was also with them.
Feehan and Ryan were left in charge of the other six workers. After about
eighty yards Gleeson turned and went back to the building site. When Chadwick
had proceeded a further hundred yards he looked back and saw the men idling and
sent Malachy Neale to put them to work. It was the last order he was to give on
earth. Their business in travelling to Holycross was to purchase culm. When
midway between where Rathcannon Balicourt is and Bohernacrusha, Chadwick
leading his horse and Mara walking beside him were accosted by a gunman who
demanded they give themselves up. Turning to Chadwick the gunman said
"give yourself up you rascal!" Mara pleaded with the gunman not to
shoot Chadwick when suddenly a second gunman shot Chadwick who then said,
"Oh Mara I'm shot", he went on to say "I am killed". Mara
ran from the scene to Bohernacrusha Page 89about 400 yards away, glancing back
only after hearing a second shot. Mara proceeded to inform Mr. Lloyd and
Captain Wilson who called the police. Chadwick's body was brought to Ned
Carey's house. On examination of the body three wounds were visible to the
head, hip and breast; any one of them would have been fatal. The drama of early
afternoon ending in the death of Richard Chadwick at about 12.50p.m. resulted
in a murder hunt starting about 4 pm the same day. No one of about forty people
in Bohernacrusha village responded to Mara's alarming news immediately after
the shooting except to retreat indoors. The building site to which Mara, one
would consider, should have gone first, and from which the shots could easily
be heard was close by, but this did not result in workers rushing to the scene
to offer help. The alleged two gunmen left the scene of the crime and calmly
faded into the high-hedged fields of the countryside. The police from Thurles
arrived in Bohernacrusha around 4 pm. Chadwick's body had been moved to Ned
Carey's house and a medical examination of it took place and a murder hunt was
initiated. Mara was put under close examination by Lloyd and Wilson as well as
the police. Realising he was a prime suspect, he identified Paddy Grace as one
of the two alleged gunmen, and went on to give a dramatic account of Chadwick's
killing. When it became apparent after a few days that Mara was an informer he
was given police protection. On Mara's information twenty-six year old Paddy
Grace was arrested on Sunday morning July 1st 1827 at about 4 am by
the police on suspicion of involvement in the murder of Richard Chadwick. Grace
was the eldest of four brothers and three sisters all residing in their parents
home at Ballytarsna. They farmed forty acres of quality land at Old Road, Ballytarsna, close to Ballytarsna Castle, Their dwelling was almost opposite the
current residence of Owen Bennett. Grace was a noted foe of landlord oppression
and would be known as such to the police. His family were good farmers and by
the standards of the time were better educated and financially stronger than
the average tenant farmer. Paddy, as the eldest son, had marked out a site for
a new house beside Ballytarsna Castle a few days prior to Chadwick's death. On
the morning of Chadwick's killing, according to his brother John in court
evidence, Paddy and he were shovelling clay up to potatoes, known as 'earthing'
them. Tradition has it that Grace was about to get married and the site where
his new home was to be, is still visible today one hundred and seventy two
years later. As suspicion grew that Philip Mara had turned informer a fury and
hatred of great intensity grew towards him and his family. Grace on arrest was
conveyed to Thurles and on Monday July 2nd brought to the Bridewell in Cashel.
As a highly popular, respected, and in some places, a feared man, his arrest
was a cause of excitement and anger among the people.
They were volatile times in County Tipperary especially mid-Tipperary, as
campaigns against the payments of tithes to the established Protestant Church
and for further
Page 90
reform of the law restricting Catholics' involvement in certain State
activities were under way. On Wednesday June 17th 1827 at 6 pm a party of men
attacked James and William Scott of Ballagh on their return from valuing tithes
for Rev. Pobert Carew Armstrong, Rector of Ballintemple. They seized their
valuation books.
James Scott was severely beaten, though an old man, and William, who ran away,
was shot at and seriously wounded. On Saturday 30th as Chadwick was being
killed at Rathcannon two men named Davern and Ryan, also tithe valuers, were
attacked by another party of men near Knockaville. Both men were on the anti
tithe group's list as enemies of their cause. On Monday July 2nd close to
Tipperary town a man conveying a load of potatoes was accosted and his potatoes
taken from, him by a mob. On Friday August ]7th the trial of Paddy Grace was
held in the Criminal Court at Clonmel. The Solicitor General, Mr. Doherty, and
a high powered legal team acted for the Crown. judge Burton and a jury
comprised of Orangemen presided. Mr. Hatchell K.C. an able barrister, defended
Grace. Philip Mara was the key witness for the prosecution. He knew Grace, was
a member, with his brothers, of the secret society which Grace controlled. Mara
probably supplied Grace with the information on Chadwick's presence in
Rathcannon and knew that a plan to kill Chadwick as a result of his actions
against tenants was in place. The remarkable return of Gleeson and Malachy
Neale to the building site after accompanying Chadwick and Mara a short
distance two minutes before Chadwick was accosted was suspicious also. Mara was
in protective custody from early July and maintained firmly his account of events,
and his identification of Grace as the man who accosted them. The Holycross
stone mason became the object of ridicule, scorn and hatred immediately. Edmund
Kelly for the defence stated that Mara in his presence stated at Christmas 1826
that Chadwick should be met and killed, to ease the woe of the Rathcannon
tenants. William Burke and Michael Ryan who were cutting soil, possibly turf,
close to the Rathcannon river the day Chadwick was shot, saw two gunmen who
warned them not to tell the police they passed that way; neither of them was
Grace. The judge in a careful summing up to the jury outlined the legal issues
and highlighted the aspects of the case they had to address. Within fifteen
minutes of retiring they returned a guilty verdict. Sentence of death was
passed by the judge to which Grace replied in a firm voice, "welcome be
the grace of God." He was immediately moved under a massive military guard
to the local jail. On Monday August 20th 1827 under a heavy military escort he
was moved from Clonmel jail at 5 am bound to a common car for conveyance to
Rathcannon for execution. The convoy comprised of the police in a circle around
the car to which Grace was bound, and a company of the 58th regiment then in
Clonmel. Ahead of them were two vehicles containing the scaffold on which Grace
was to be executed and at the rear the hangman surrounded by a party of police.
Despite the early
Page 91
hour, 5.30 am, from Clonmel to Rathcannon people gathered in vast numbers to
witness the final trip of Paddy Grace to his place of execution. At ten o'clock
the convoy reached Cashel where fresh military reinforcements comprised of a
company of rifles and a troop of Scots Greys from Cahir relieved the Clonmel
escort.
At Cashel, Grace was led into the Bridewell by Captain Wilcox who was attentive
and kind to the prisoner. Grace took some refreshments including bread, wine
and water offered him by the Captain. just before noon the procession left
Cashel. All along the route to Rathcannon huge crowds joined the convoy. At
Tubberadora the convoy halted to let Grace have a final look at Ballytarsna. At
2.45 pm they reached Rathcannon. While the scaffold was being erected Grace met
his family and spoke to them for about ten minutes. With the prison chaplain he
spent several minutes in prayer before ascending the scaffold. In a brief
address delivered in a firm voice he advised against drunkenness, vice and
crime, which were contrary to the laws of God. He also, according to tradition,
condemned the system that made people act in the manner which he had done. In a
veiled hint, he said, "before 1 am twelve months in my grave, things will
happen over which we will have no control." His words were to prove
prophetic. After Grace concluded, the prison chaplain as if surprised at his
words, uttered a firm warning to all and sundry against involvement in Secret
Societies. Within seconds of the Rev. Brennan concluding, the hangman did his
job and Grace was dropped to his death. His brothers prayed beneath the
scaffold and were granted permission to take down his body. They embraced his
remains and requested that they be allowed to bury it in Ballytarsna at little
Church. This was refused and the body was returned to Cashel Fever Hospital for
dissection. Tradition has it that members of the secret society with the
co-operation of some medical staff removed Grace's body from the hospital for
burial in Boytonrath. Within weeks of Grace being laid to rest things began to
happen over which he had no control, a story that must await for another year
to tell. Paddy Grace was the last person to be executed in Ireland at the
location of the crime. He was a defender of his people against a cruel system
who paid the supreme sacrifice for his actions on behalf of an impoverished
downtrodden community.

Daughter of Thomas of Barnascounce, son of Richard & Rebecca (Allard)
Chadwick.
From Hugh Casement March 2003.
Sally Chadwick and George Casement:-
he was the 4th and youngest son of George Casement, naval surgeon, of Larne,
Co. Antrim, younger son by his 2nd wife Martha Montgomery. He was thus a
half-brother of Maj.Gen. Sir William Casement of the supreme council of India.
He was b. in Larne 1 May 1788 and d. at Mhow, Indore, 1 Nov. 1822; they m. at
Bareilly 16 Apr. 1821. George was in the 21st Native Infantry.
She m. James Graham at Agra 24 Feb. 1823, less than 4 months after
George's death. An indecently short period of mourning by our standards, but
women of a marriageable age were in great demand in India and under
considerable pressure.
I came across a story of a sergeant who proposed to a widow when she got
home from burying her husband. She burst into tears, and he apologized for his
undue haste. Turned out that the reason for her distress was that she'd
already accepted an offer at the graveside -- from a mere corporal!
I believe James Graham came from Drumbo, Co. Down.
From Hugh Casement, 29/3/2003:
I've been sent the following details of Surgeon James Graham:
b. 28.1.1797. MD Edinbgh. Ass. Sgn 1.20; Sgn. 9.30; killed by mutineers
Sialkot 9.7.57.

I don't know where my correspondent got it from, and presume it refers to the
one who m. Sally Casement, née Chadwick. Apparently he was the son of William
Graham of Drumbo, Co. Down (about 10 km S. of Belfast, near Lisburn).
Do you happen to know the date of the marriage? I was told that the card index
at the India Office says it took place in Agra on 24 Feb. 1823. According to
Hodson's List of Officers of the Bengal Army, George Casement d. 1 Nov. 1823.
Hodson could have mistaken the year, but there's further evidence: in the East
India Directory for 1825 is a rather belated announcement of the birth of a son
to the lady of Capt. G. Casement on 15 Mar. 1823. Even if it was a posthumous
child (and Graham wasn't claiming paternity) I doubt she'd have been described
like that if she'd already remarried. I conclude that George must really have
d. in late 1823, and Sally remarried in 1824 (or even 1825).
Admittedly, there were other G. Casements alive in 1823, but this particular
George was the only one both in India and of an age to be fathering children.
Do you know anything about that son? It was news to me; either d. in infancy
or was adopted by Graham, I would think. Unfortunately E.M.C. doesn't give
dates of birth for the Graham children.
Where I think E.M.C. may have made a mistake is in the date of Phoebe's
marriage, which I copied from your web site as 1841. I believe they m. at
Meerut on 14 Apr. 1847. He's in the Dictionary of Indian Biography and his
family in Burke's Landed Gentry under Dingwall-Fordyce.
Also in Hodson is Col. Thomas Chadwick (1789-1861), 2nd son of Thomas of
Barnascounce. His sister m. Charles Hamilton Bell of the Bengal Army.
Presumably that means Bell is also listed -- unfortunately I don't have the
books.

This family originally settled in county Meath in the 17th century but
following the appointment of William Cooper as Registrar of the Diocese of
Cashel, one branch settled at Killenure Castle, county Tipperary in the mid
18th century. William Cooper by his wife Jane Wayland had two sons Samuel of
Killenure, agent to the Maude, Damer and Erasmus Smith Schools estates and
Austin, an antiquarian and agent to a number of landlords including the 2nd
Earl of Leitrim, Baron Milton and Viscount Hawarden. In the mid 19th century
Samuel Cooper held land in the parishes of Kilmaleery and Kilnasoolagh, barony
of Bunratty Lower, and Kilseily, barony of Tulla Lower, county Clare. The main
part of the Cooper estate was in county Tipperary, in the parishes of St
Johnbaptist, barony of Middlethird, Cullen and Solloghodbeg, barony of
Clanwilliam, Donohill and Oughterleague, barony of Kilnamanagh Lower. In
November 1854 the interest of Patrick J. O'Kearney and others in the lands of
Ballywalter was advertised for sale, Samuel Cooper was the tenant. He held on a
lease dated 28 December 1852. In the 1870s Samuel Cooper of Killenure, Cashel,
county Tipperary, owned 826 acres in county Tipperary and 344 acres in county
Clare. His brother was Richard Austin Cooper Chadwick. [Another brother William
L. Cooper of England owned 727 acres in county Tipperary].

I have just come across your website while undertaking some of my own family
tree research. I was searching using ‘George Ogle Moore’ and came across this
section of your site;
I believe the Rev Ogle William Moore you mentioned, may be one of the sons of
George Ogle Moore. Another son, John emigrated to Australia and is my g/g/great
grandfather. George himself was MP for Dublin 1826-1831. He married Elizabeth
Armstrong. Does this sound like your Rev Ogle Moore?

7.12The Ancient History of the Surname Chidwick
http://www.chidwick.ca/history.htm
found on this site 4/2007.
The chronicles of England, shrouded by the mists of time, reveal the early
records of the name Chidwick as a Norman surname which ranks as one of the
oldest. The history of the name is interwoven in the colourful fabric which is
part of the history of Britain.
Careful research by professional analysts using such ancient manuscripts as the
Domesday Book (compiled in 1086 by William the Conqueror), the Ragman Rolls,
the Wace poem, the Honour Roll of the Battle Abbey, The Curia Regis, Pipe
Rolls, the Falaise Roll, tax records, baptismal records, family genealogies and
local parish records shows the first record of the name Chidwick was found in
Staffordshire where they were seated from very early times and were granted
lands by the Duke William of Normandy their liege lord, for their distinguished
assistance at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 A.D.
Many alternate spellings were found. They were typically linked to a common
root, usually one of the Norman nobles at the Battle of Hastings. The name
Chidwick occurred in many references, and from time to time, the surname
included the spellings Chadwick, Chadwicks, Chadwicke, Chadwyck, Chaddick,
Chadwich, Chedwick, and many more. Scribes recorded and spelled the name as it
sounded. It was not unlikely that a person would be born with one spelling,
married with another, and buried with a headstone which shown yet another. All
three spellings related to the same person. Sometimes preferences for
difference spelling variations either came from a division of the family or for
religious reasons or sometimes for patriotic reasons.
The family name Chidwick is believed to be descended from the Norman race.
They were commonly believed to be of French origin but were more accurately of
Viking origin. The Vikings landed in the Orkneys and Northern Scotland about
the year 870 A.D., under their Chief Stirgud the Stout. Later, under their
Jarl, Thorfinn Rollo, they invaded France about 940 A.D. After they laid siege
to Paris, the French king Charles the Simple finally conceded defeat and
granted northern France to Rollo. Rollo became the first Duke of Normandy, the
territory of the north men. Duke William who invaded and defeated England in
1066 was descended from the first Duke Rollo of Normandy.
Duke William took a census of most of England in 1086, and recorded it in the
Doomsday Book. A family name capable of being traced back to this document or
to Hastings, was a signal of honour and for most families during the middle
ages and even to this day.
The surname Chidwick emerged as a notable English family name in the county of
Staffordshire where they were recorded as a family of great antiquity seated at
Rideware with manor and estates in that shire. They were descendant from the
Archbishop of Rheims through the renowned Sir Guy Mauvoisin surnamed le Barbu
living in 1080 at Rosny in Nantes in Normandy. They moved to Lancashire
settling in Chadwick in Spotland. Adam Bamford, Lord of the manor of Chadwick, rented
lands to William Chadwick of Chadwick in 1335. They continued to hold property
in Healy in Lancashire and Marvesyn (Mauvoisin) and Rideware in Staffordshire.
By the 16th century they had acquired Switon Hall in Lancashire which became
the main branch of the family. This branch in turn acquired Puddleston Court in
the county of Hereford. Notable amounst the family at this time was Chadwick of
Swinton Hall.
The surname Chidwick contributed much to the local politics and in the affairs
of England or Scotland. During the 12th century, many of these Norman families
moved north to Scotland following Earl David of Huntingdon who would be become
King of Scotland. Later, in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, England and
Scotland ware ravaged by religious and political conflict. The Monarchy, the
church and parliament fought for supremacy. The unrest caused many to think of
distant lands. Settlers in Ireland became known as "adventurers for land
in Ireland". They "undertook" to keep the protestant faith and
were granted lands previously owned by the Irish. In Ireland they settled in
Ballinard in the county of Limeric, and Killenure Castle in county Tipperary.
The attractions of the New World spread like wildfire. Many sailed abroad the
fleet of sailing ships known as the "White Sails".
In North America, migrants which could be considered a kinsman of the family
name Chidwick, or variable spellings of the name, included Charles Chadwick who
settled in Salem Mass. in 1630, and an important branch of the family settled
in Toronto, Canada. Elizabeth Chadwick settled in Potomac Maryland in 1728.
Elles, George, James, John, Joseph, Mathias, Nathaniel, Robert, Samuel, Thomas
and William all arrived in Philadelphia between 1775 and 1850. From the port of
arrival many settlers joined the wagon trains westward. During the War of
Independence, some declare their loyalty to the Crown and moved northward into
Canada and became known as the United Empire Loyalists.
Meanwhile, the family name was active in the social stream. There were many
notables of this name, including
Sir Albert Chadwick
Very Rev. Henry Chadwick, Dean of Christ Church, Oxford.
Sir John Chadwick,
Lynn Chadwick, sculptor
Sir Burton Chadwick
Sir James Chadwick, F.R.S. physicist, collaborator in Atomic research, who
discovered the neutron in 1932 which led to the production of the atomic bomb.
In the process of researching the Chidwick name, we also traced the most
ancient grant of Coat of Arms from the branches which developed their own
Arms, which was "red with a small silver shield surrounded by eight
silver birds".
The crest is a lily.
The ancient family motto is "In Candore Decus".
This line is deduced mainly from the Dictionary of National Biography: however,
it doe not seem to fit the John Gurney born 1718 as he died in 1779. When our
John Gurney who married Katherine Bell in 1775, his father was already dead,
though his mother Elizabeth was still alive.

PHOTOS in FOLDER from Tim Ford[xxxix]
Its been a few years, but I thought the attached find would interest you. Just returned from the UK (from my Mother's 90th birthday) and a quick rummage in her basement produced an album with a couple of penciled names. #1 in the album was just labeled "Chadwick", and the studio had sites in Montreal, Ottawa and Halifax.
#2-#5 (later in the album) were labeled "Fred Chadwick", "his wife", "their" and "children." The last two on adjacent pages with the final one also dated April 69. #2-4 were taken at the same studio in Dublin, and #5 (dated) at a studio in Guelph.
#2 & 3 must be Frederick Jasper and Elizabeth Chadwick. #4 & 5 might be the two girls, Louisa Caroline and Charlotte Rose taken at different times, first in Dublin then in Guelph, but the Dublin picture could also suggest a boy (from the hair, they used to wear dresses when very young), possibly Jasper William? There was also Edward Ernest, but he only lived for six months, and the baby looks more like a one-year old (not that I'm a good judge of children).
I'd be interested in your thoughts. Many other unidentified pictures in the album, with a few labels, including some Bostocks (from the Dillon/Bell connection) and Boltons.

Dublin Evening Mail - Friday 24 December 1847
[Gregory Lynch was a prominent Catholic parish priest in Dublin so this was a mixed marriage. Joseph Armstrong was William Chadwick’s brother-in-law, as per next entry. I did wonder if this was a source of scandal but the Bourchier entry in Burke’s Landed Gentry of Ireland and The Plantagent Roll of the Blood Royal: The Mortimer-Percy Volume (Heritage Books, 2013), available via Google Books, shows the Bourchiers of Baggotstown and the Chadwicks were related multiple times since the 18th century so I do not think there is anything untoward here …].
Edward Chadwick of Ballinard recorded as a juror at the trail of Thomas Francis Meagher in 1848. He was the Young Ireland leader and future governor of Montana.

DEATH OF R A COOPER-CHADWICK,ESQ.
A universal feeling of regret has been called forth by the sad announcement of the death of Richard Austin Cooper-Chadwick, Esq, which took place at his residence, Ballinard, on Thursday last after a protracted illness. The deceased was one of the most popular gentlemen in Tipperary, and held in deserved esteem by all who knew him. His kindly and genial manner, and his highly honourable character in all the relations of life, won for him a host of friends, whose regard he retained to the last. His love of field sports while in health was of the keenest description, and his efficient mastership of the excellent pack of harriers, which he hunted will not soon be forgotten. To the last he also took the warmest interest in the agricultural affairs and welfare of Tipperary. A favourite with all classes, and most affectionately endeared to his family, with whom the sincerest sympathy is evinced his loss will be long felt and deeply mourned.

THE TIPPERARY OUTRAGE.
The outrage which was committed at the residence of Mrs. Cooper Chadwick. Ballinard, near Tipperary, on the 7th inst., when a formidable explosive was discharged at the lady’s hall door, is still enveloped in mystery. The missile was composed of a massive iron tube used in an axle-box for the wheel of dray cart, and was substantially secured by a bolt that ran through it from end to end. The explosion created consternation amongst the household, all of whom were in the house the time. The police are busily engaged inquiring into the matter.

WILLIAM CHADWICK
RIC Summary -
Born circa 1844 County Cavan. Father was Henry Chadwick.
Married 5 Dec 1879 Rebecca Stevenson, in Donegal Town.
Died 20 Nov 1907 aged 63 at 23 westland Ave L'derry. Sone William Henry Chadwick prsent at death.
Attested 13 Feb 1862

Head Constable 1 July 1886 (Slane, Meath)
Pensioned 20 Oct 1892
Service record and RIC death notice attached
There are some references to him in newspapers concerning trials, arrests etc. Nothing particularly exciting. A Henry Chadwick 31063, also a Protestant from Cavan, joined the RIC in 1865. Possibly a brother?
The young ages at which both men joined suggest the father may have been in an earlier manifestation of the police, or a militia.
DEATH OF MR. WILLIAM CHADWICK. The death took place yesterday of Mr. William Chadwick, alter a long and painful illness. Mr. Chadwick will be remembered as a faithful and efficient Corporation official. In 1896 be was appointed superintendent of the municipal slaughterhouse, and it is doing the barest justice to his memory say that he revolutionised the former methods in connection with the place. He was respected by all for his firmness, impartiality, and conscientiousness. Some months ago he resigned the position owing to ill-health. A native of county Cavan, Mr. Chadwick forty-five years ago joined the Royal irish Constabulary, from which he retired as a head constable. He served in counties Donegal, Antrim, sad Meath The funeral takes place to-morrow at 2.30p.m.
Londonderry Sentinel - Thursday 21 November 1907
[The RIC records state that this William Chadwick was born in 1844 in Cavan and married in 1879 in Donegal, so he may be the wrong person.]
CHARLES SHADWICK
Summary from RIC Papers-
Born circa 1835 in England, but joined the police from Tipperary. Possibly father William Shadwick was in Army?
Married 24 Aug 1869 in Roscommon, Mary Padin, who was from Leitrim. Charles father stated as 'Clerk' and her father 'Gaol Guard'.
Died 24 March 1881 whilst in service. 3 known children. Thomas William (1872), Charles (1874), Mary Kate (1877).
Attested 15 Nov 1857
Served briefly in the Reserve (Dublin) then Roscommon until his death. Was certainly in Roscommon Town for a period.
Head Constable 16 July 1877 (Castlerea)
Died in service at Castlerea of apoplexy.
Service Record and confirmation of HC posting attached.
Born in England, Charles Shadwick (as he spelled it) was father to Grace’s grandfather. Linda White gave me a birth year of 1829 for him but the RIC records suggest 1835 with a question mark. He later joined the North Tipperary RIC. He was in Roscommon on 15 November 1851. His RIC records state he was married in Leitrim in 1869. He died suddenly in his 50s, early 50s maybe. The RIC records give his date of death as 1881.
Linda Notes: His wife died soon afterwards and their three children Tom, Charles and (Mary) Kate were placed under the guardianship of their uncle William in Dublin. He gave them a good education. Young Charles was put into the Hibernian Bank, probably by William, with a small private income. Unfortunately, Charles was a gambler and horse racing enthusiast, so William ‘washed his hands off him’. Charles married twice. He was a widower when he met his second wife, Linda’s granny. He lost his sight and became blind in later years.
Rather a disturbing one here Linda, sorry …
ROOSKEY PETTY SESSION'S A case attracting no little public attention was tried on Wednesday last, before Captain Hanly and Mr. Curran, R.M.. in which Constable Melia and Sub-Constable Shadwick. of the Tarmon station, summoned two men name Michael Cox and Edward Dooly, the latter for assaulting them and endeavouring to rescue the former whom they had arrested. Mr. Stritch appeared for the police and Mr. Harrison for the defendants. There was also a cross case in which the constables were charged by Dooly, with having dragged him off his cart while, as he alleged, peaceably on his way home. His wife also preferred a charge against Constable Shadwick for beating her, from the effects of which, she stated, she was delivered of a still born child about three weeks after. The constable in return charged Dooly, and his wife and sifter, with striking him and breaking a bonnet case (a band boa?) on his head. The case against the police was dismissed while their opponents were bound over to appear at quarter sessions, Cox was fixed 1s and discharged.

A SUCCESSFUL PUPIL.
Mr Charles Chadwick, nephew of Mr Patrick Padin, J P, Ballyview Cottage, Wicklow, took first place at the recent examination for Clerkship in the Hibernian Bank. He was prepared by Mr Moriarty, Principal, National School, Wicklow. Mr Chadwick scored twenty-three marks higher than the second candidate.
Wicklow People - Saturday 09 February 1895
PROMOTION OF A PARSONSTOWN OFFICIAL
As a mark of their kindly feeling for Mr Charles Shadwick, Hibernian Bank, who has been promoted to an important position in the Cork branch, a number of his friends, chiefly belonging to the Town and County Club, entertained him to dinner in Dooly's Hotel on Thursday evening, the chair being occupied by Mr H.V. Goldon. Owing to the short notification of his transfer a large number were not aware of it, otherwise they would have joined very heartily in the compliment. The catering was carried out in his best style by the proprietor, Mr Clavin. After the cloth had been removed, a number of congratulatory speeches were delivered, and the guest of the evening replied expressing regret at his departure, and thanking them all for their kindness during his stay amongst them. A number of vocal selections were given at intervals, those of Mr H. J. Bergin evoking well deserved encore's. Before separating all joining in bidding Mr Shadwick farewell.
Leinster Reporter - Saturday 04 March 1899
The 1895 record for Charles Chadwick mentioned an uncle, Patrick Padin.
OBITUARY. MR. PATRICK PADIN, J.P., WICKLOW. An old and very respected citizen of Wicklow in the person of Mr. Patrick Padin, J.P., Summerhill, passed away to his reward on Sunday at the age of79 years. The deceased gentleman came to Wicklow many years ago and occupied the position of excise official in the town for a number of years. After his retirement he was made a Justice of the Peace and was elected a representative of the urban council and harbour boards, the duties of which positions he discharged with ability and skill. Of a courteous and obliging nature he was held in general affection by all classes and the news of his death was received with universal expressions of regret. He was in failing health for some time prior to his demise, and for the last two months he was altogether confined to his house. He leaves one daughter to mourn his loss, Sister Margaret Mary, a member of the Community of the Convent of Perpetual Adoration, Wexford, to whom we offer our condolence in her bereavement. Interment took place in Rathnew Cemetery on Tuesday afternoon, the funeral being large and representative of all classes in the town. Very Rev. John Canon Staples, P.P., V.F.,. assisted by Rev.

THE CHADWICKS OF BALLINARD
The following extract is from a book called ‘My Hennessy Family History and Memoir’ by Sister Lucy Hennessy SMG (iUniverse, 2018), and gives an account of the family. This seems to be largely derived from the lineage of the Chadwicks of Ballinard as given in ‘A Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Landed Gentry of Great Britain & Ireland, Volume 1’ by Bernard Burke (Harrison, 1879). Both accounts state that William only had two wives, aka Wilhelmina Seymour and Charlotte Bourchier.

It was one of my great grandmothers who was the
Chadwick. Her name was Bridget and she was christened in Nenagh, Co.
Tipperary, Ireland, on 28 Jun 1833. Her parents were George Chadwick and Sara
Quinn who were married on 12 Feb 1831 in Nenagh. Bridget's brothers and
sisters were - Anne chr.7 Dec
1831; Richard chr.12 Sep 1835; Thomas chr.14 Jul 1838; Eliza chr.28 May 1841
and George chr.20 Dec 1847. (There is possibly another male child born around
1843.)
Bridget, an assisted immigrant, arrived in Sydney, Australia, aboard the ship
"Matoaka" on 17 May 1855. The immigration lists show her religion as
Roman Catholic and that her father was still living in Nenagh, but her mother
was deceased. Listed on her marriage certificate she was shown working as a
domestic servant and lived in Ryde (a suburb of Sydney).
Bridget married William Newton, a farmer and a widower. The marriage took
place on 9 Jan 1860 at 'Villa Maria', Hunters Hill, Sydney. Bridget and
William lived Berry Park/Morpeth (just near Maitland) New South Wales and had
4 children - (1) George William b.11 Nov 1860; (2) Sarah Jane b. 2 Jul
1863; (3) Richard Henry b.12 May 1871; and (4) (my grandmother) Catherine Lucy
b.1 Mar 1874. Bridget died in Newcastle from a 'cerebral softening' on 4 Jul
1904. Her husband, William, had predeceased her on 23 Jul 1881 from 'heart disease'.
Their daughter Catherine Lucy (my grandmother) married Ernest Septimus Brunker,
an auctioneer, at Maitland on 20 May 1893. They had 5 children all born in
Maitland - (1) my father, Edgar Ernest b.25 Jul 1893; (2) Ellie Blanche b.10
Mar 1896; (3) Enid Florence b.9 Jul 1900; (4) Evelyn Sherbon b.6 Sep 1906; (5)
Elaine Sylvia b. 9 Sep 1909.
Edgar Ernest married Frances Borgia Costello in Maitland on 26 Jan 1916 and
they had 2 children both born in Maitland - (1) Edgar b.10 Oct 1920; (2)
Patricia b.15 Aug 1932.
I think the Nenagh Chadwicks moved a bit north in Ireland. Must admit I have
not gone into them in great detail.
I do not know the work you mentioned by Edward Marion Chadwick. The old
photocopy I have is one done by the Canadian branch with a few other pieces
jotted down on it. The list of Chadwicks I was referring to was what I had
extracted from the Australian Convict Indents and Shipping Lists also from some
of the Birth, Marriage and Death indexes. I had sent a copy to the Chadwick Association
in England for their information. I did not follow through on any of the
indexes as it was meant to be a starting point for anyone who may have
'misplaced' a relative around those early years.

My name is Brett Fitzpatrick
My Grandmother was Muriel Anna Rosalind Chadwick (maiden name).
She had a lot of the same information you have as a result of a family tree she
had done many years ago. She passed away two years ago aged 100 and we have not
been able to find her documents. My Grandmother married Thomas Peter
Fitzpatrick here in Australia. Her sister had the ships log from the Chadwick
that was a Captain which I can no longer track down unfortunately but I have
not given up. My father also had photos of the Rev and other relatives. I
remember as a very young boy my Grandmother being able to inherit a substantial
land holding in Ireland but there was an issue on back taxes and the need to
sail out to Ireland to sort it. At the time they did not have the money to do
anything about it and nothing came of it. There is a lot of history that my
Aunty Daughter of my Grand mother) could share with you I am sure so if you are
interested I can get you her email.

[62] Wikipedia: Joseph Damer, (1630–1720), an officer in Oliver Cromwell's New Model Army was granted lands in Shronell in 1662.[2] There were concerted efforts made by the Damer family to introduce Protestant workers from the northern counties, and by 1766 there were eighty-two Protestant families in Shronell.[3] In 1837, the parish, (sometimes spelled Shronehill) in the barony of Clanwilliam, contained a total of 1006 inhabitants and encompassed the townlands of Ballinglanna, Ballycohy, Ballyconry, Barronstown (Ormond), Shronell Beg and Shronell More. It consisted of 2,747 statute acres (1,113 hectares), some of which was cultivated but mostly in pasture. 'Ballinard' was the residence of W. Chadwick.. Other notable residents were Clement Sadler, 'Damerville', Austin Cooper 'Chadwickand' and Rev. M. Clarkethe of the glebe house. The Protestant Parish was in the diocese of Cashel.

18 Jul 2002 "Cara Stewart"
Stumbled across your web site and discovered my husband's family on it. His
grandfather is Wilfrid La Rive Bourchier who is a descendent of Charlotte
Chadwick and John Bourchier.
In case you're interested, we have a miniature portrait of Sara Aher's mother
Suzanna Wilkinson and Sara's grandfather William Cumberland Wilkinson as well
as a sister of Sara's. Kate Aher died when she was about 14. There is a very
good possibility we have some small bits of Chadwick silver. Several years ago
I was told by an elderly aunt that the family crest on the silver was
Chadwick. I've checked the marks on the pieces and think these might date to
the late 18th century which could mean they came into the family with
Charlotte. However, until more research has been done this is only
speculation.
In case your're interested a book was published in the 19th about the Aher's
and other branches. My husband, Simon Dalby, son of Nina Marion La Rive
Bourchier, is now living in Ottawa, Canada. Given the number of your ancestors
who ended up in Ontario I am tempted to say that "all roads lead to
Ontario". (My family also arrived in Canada in the 1830s via Ontario.)
I was impressed with the amount of work that you've put into your family
research.
8 Sep 2002:-
My husband family connects with the Chadwicks when Charlotte Chadwick marries
John Bouchier in 1797. Their eldest son, John, marries Sarah Aher (I have
miniature portraits of her, her father, and her daughter Kate) and a handful of
generations later my husband, Simon Dalby, comes along. This particular
Bourchier line seemed to suffer due to the consequences of WW1 so that despite
a huge number of brothers and sisters only one of them produced children and
these were girls. You might be interested to know that these Bourchiers are descended
from the Bourchier regicide who signed King Charles 1 death warrant. I'm still
trying to figure out precisely how they ended up in Ireland but so far it
doesn't seem to have anything to do with Cromwell or the need to flee. To the
best of my knowledge I believe that Charlotte and John lived at Baggotstown in
Co. Limerick. The house/estate was confiscated by the Irish in 1905 so it is
no longer owned by Bourchiers but the house is still standing. It looks a bit
tired but still seems to exude a degree of charm. My Stewarts came from Banff,
Scotland and first arrived in Canada East in the 1830s.
From:
Julie Bouchier Perry on September 19, 2009 from Orinda, California
I come from the Bourchier/Bouchier family from Kilcullane and Baggotstown in Limerick
from my father, Henry Bouchier. Earlier, they spelled it Bourchier, and I have
a copy of my GGrandfather's Marriage Certificate from the Hall of Records in
Dublin, wherein he signed it, Thomas Bourchier, his father signed it as Henry
Bourchier, and his brother, as John Bourchier. That was in 1862. They left
Ireland in a few years after my Grandfather, Henry Bouchier was born in 1864
for Toronto, Canada. Eventually they moved to Chicago and then to Los Angeles,
where my father, Henry Bouchier was born in 1906.
I see where some of my relatives married into the families which you
discussed. I have a family letter written in 1948, suggesting that our family
came from the Beningbrough Bourchiers of York, or the Bourchiers, Earls of
Bath. I have reserached this, knowing that the Earls of Bath came earlier, and
that Sir George Bourchier, of that group, was given much acreage in what is now
Limerick, and that part of that grant from QEI, was given to our relatives by
Oliver Cromwell, whose Aunt had married into the Barrington family. He had
married an Elizabeth Bourchier, who does seem to be also connected to the
Beningbrough family in some fashion. They all came from John Bourchier, Lord
Berners, originally, who came from the marriage of Anne Plantagenet and William
Bourchier in the 1400s.
If you may have any information about just who in the Beningbrough group was
the father of John Bourchier, 1664, of Baggotstown, my relative, I would so
appreciate knowing it. I think it was the son of the regicide, Sir John
Bourchier of Beningbrough, or a very close relation of his.

From: Christopher Barron[70]
I enclosed below part of your website and am 100% certain that my connection to
the Chadwicks is via the "unnamed" daughter of Elizabeth Chadwick
Hammersly.
Margaret Chadwick and her husband, Mr. Hammersly, are both mentioned in the
will of Pierce Barron of Cullen, who was definitely buried in the Cullen Church
graveyard (1724). Elizabeth's mother was Elizabeth Gabbett and her father was
William Chadwick. At any rate, I am certain via Pierce Barron's will in Dublin
that this daughter's name was Margaret Chadwick Barron, wife of Pierce Barron
of Cullen. I am 'not' certain about exactly how I connect to this clan because
there are two possibilities for the father of my great-great-great grandfather,
Maurice Barron Sr. of Bohercrowe. Maurice's father may have been Edward Barron
"the Soldier" of Tipperary Town, but it also could have been Daniel
Barron of Clerkstown near Lattin. I don't want to get into my own intuition too
much, but I'd say there are far better odds that Edward Barron the 20 year
Veteran of the British Army was the father of Maurice Sr. I'd say the facts
also corroborate this intuition (the names all fit for this descent) because
the records and mentions about Maurice Sr.'s farm in Bohercrowe in the 1820's
to 1830's were all kept in the now defunct Protestant Church of Cullen--NOT in
Tipperary Town! Keeping it short concerning intuition, all the FIRST names in
what is known from parish registers about my family in Bohercrowe over 4
generations says that my family descended from Pierce Barron and Margaret
Chadwick of Cullen, which means that Edward Barron "the Soldier" was
the father of Maurice Sr.--not this Daniel Barron fellow of Clerkstown. My
genealogist deeply investigated this Daniel Barron fellow and tried to sell me
a bill of goods that Daniel's father was James Barron, the illegitimate son of
Patrick Barron of Tipperary Town, Emly and probably also from Cullen and the
son of Edward Barron (mentioned 1667). This genealogist also found interesting
legal records on another Barron family of Stradbally in Co. Waterford, which
seems to clearly connect to Lattin in Tipperary and this is next door to
Clerkstown. Therefore, I think this genealogist's conclusions were wrong in
even saying that Daniel Barron of Clerkstown was the son of James Barron
because it seems far more likely Daniel's father was from the Stradbally
Barrons, who also held lands in Lattin. Therefore, the father of Daniel was
probably born and raised in Co. Waterford, not in Tipperary Town.
At any rate, sorry the above is so long, but this stuff is certainly most
complex! Nonetheless, I'm fairly certain that your wife is my cousin.
Unfortunately, at some time the British Government ordered that all Church of
Ireland records be sent for safekeeping to the National Archives in Dublin and
there was an explosion during the rebellions around 1920. Therefore, the parish
registers definitively naming the father of Maurice Sr. are now gone and the
only way I will be able to put this puzzle together is if I can find
corroborating evidence via the graveyards in the Barony of Clanwilliam in
Tipperary. Nevertheless, I still think all the facts point to Edward "the
Soldier" being Maurice Sr.'s father because Maurice Sr. also had younger
brothers named William and Patrick (definite) and British Army records confirm
that a John Barron joined the British Army in 1808 and served for 8 years and
1808 was the year that Maurice Sr.'s eldest son was born, John Barron. It seems
that John "the Soldier" was probably the youngest brother of Maurice
Sr. (born about 1772). There were also two known sons of Margaret Chadwick
Barron: 1. Edward (no issue) and 2. John. This is why I'm fairly certain that
Maurice Sr.'s father was Edward, Edward's father was John, John's father was
Pierce, (Mother Margaret Chadwick) Pierce's father was Patrick Barron of
Tipperary Town & Emly and Patrick's father was Edward Barron of Cullen.
Edward was mentioned in the Hearth Money Rolls of 1667.

I was looking over the two reports that Dublin genealogist sent me and he
writes in a confusing manner at times. Therefore, I had to add that due to
those reports I had mistakenly thought that Margaret's maiden name was
Chadwick, whereas I can now clearly state that is/was wrong. Margaret's maiden
name was Margaret
Hammersly, while her mother's maiden name was Elizabeth Chadwick. A minor
difference, but I think an important one. Sorry I confused the facts, but it
took a re-reading of the report, then also re-reading Pierce Barron's will
whereby he named Richard Chadwick as being some sort of surety for Margaret
Hammersly (his niece?). Pierce does 'not' specify Margaret's maiden name at
all, but it was clearly Hammersly. The will also does not specify the first
name of Mr. Hammersly, who was his father-in-law.

From: Christopher Barron
I think we may be related. I hired a genealogist in Dublin to help me find my
direct ancestors in Ireland and it seems my great-grandfather, Patrick Barron,
was originally from Bohercrowe near Tipperary Town. Patrick left Tipperary at
some time with his mother and 3 younger siblings and perhaps even their father,
John
Barron, around 1867. NYC records steadfastly reported that John and family left
Ireland in 1863, but I think that is wrong because my John Barron was
definitely living in Bohercrowe in 1866 (the genealogist found proof). It seems
that John was probably involved in the Fenian Rebellion of 1867 in Tipperary
and may have
needed to leave Ireland immediately in order to evade arrest. I know that
Rebellion failed and later on the Fenians freed the leaders of that rebellion
in Manchester, Engand and accidentally killed a policeman in the process of
freeing Colonel Kelly and Captain Deasy. These Fenian leaders were the
forerunners of the
movement eventually leading to the Irish Republic in 1922. I don't know how you
feel about that movement, or any of that political stuff, but I'm neutral
myself--I'm American.
At any rate, I just looked at your website under the Chadwicks and it says
William Chadwick was from Gurthakilleen. Where is Gurthakilleen? This William
Chadwick may have been the brother of Margaret Chadwick. I know that Margaret
Chadwick married Pierce Barron of Cullen in 1702. This means that William
Chadwick and Elizabeth Gabbett may have been the parents of Margaret Chadwick
too. Do you know anything about these Chadwick families of Cullen? Are they
related to you? I noticed you called them the Chadwicks of Ballinard and my
genealogist in Dublin said my Chadwicks were from Ballinard too. Thank you.
Chris
PS: Do you know that there are two wealthy Chadwick Lawyers living in Shronell
today? I'm hoping to meet them later this summer to ask them if they know
anything about my Margaret Chadwick. I am not positive yet that Margaret
Chadwick Barron was my great-grandmother 5 times removed, but I do know that my
Maurice Barron Sr. was born around 1772 and was married to Bridget Power in
1807. I also know that Maurice Sr. was from Bohercrowe, (a few miles East of
Ballinard & Cullen) but was also named 4 times in the Protestant Church of
Ireland in Cullen. I underlined Protestant because Maurice Sr. and Bridget
Power were married in the Catholic Church in Tipperary Town. Therefore, I
suspect Margaret Chadwick Barron was Maurice Sr.'s paternal great-grandmother.

From: Christopher Barron
Thanks for the email! I'm just about to look at an email I just received today
from a woman in England, who is an expert regarding the pre-Cromwellian history
of my family. Of course, this is well before my family's move from Inistiogue
in Co. Kilkenny before the invasion of Cromwell. The Dublin genealogist (and I
agree with him) says he thinks that the patrilineal ancestors of my family in
Bohercrowe, Tipperary Town and Cullen were from Inistiogue. There is a lot of
compelling evidence to draw this conclusion, but not nearly enough for me to be
certain that this is correct. At any rate, I wrote her a snail-mail last
Friday, so let me look at it before I finish this email.
I just read the email from the woman in England; who knows a lot about the
Barrons of Brownsford & Cloone in Inistiogue; and she sent me a long
attachment (too long, can't read now) with it so I want to send a short email
and also send you one, so this will have to be brief...a little shorter than
War and Peace, but brief for me, LOL!! At any rate, I may have just hit paydirt
with this woman because her maiden name seems to have been Barron and she's
like me in being able to trace her roots back to her Catholic ancestors in the
Inistiogue & Thomastown area with another Edward Barron like what looks to
be my great-great-great-great grandfather, who was born in 1750 and served in
the 32nd Foot (Duke of Cornwall) from 1771 to 1791. I find this interesting too
because Edward served in England, Ireland (Cork City, Dungarven, Waterford
& Dublin) and the defense of Gibraltar in 1784. In addition, my Maurice Sr.
may have lived in Gibraltar at this time because there were a lot of wives and
children living at Gibraltar with the soldiers in 1784. I had thought (a British
Army historian got me the facts) that Edward and the 32nd Foot served in
America along with Richard England of Inis/Ennis because another regiment of
foot attached to the 32nd did serve in America along with Richard England et
al. The other interesting thing about the text in this English woman's email
was that she knows that her people are still farmers in Thomastown and other
villages nearby and were Catholic. However, it seems nearly certain that you
yourself are much closer kin (via Eliabeth Chadwick Hammersly) to me than this
Ms. Barron because I'd say I am nearly 100% certain that this British soldier
(Edward) was Maurice Sr.'s father and not this other Daniel Barron (only other
Barron at the time in this part of Clanwilliam Barony). In addition, if Edward
indeed was Maurice Sr.'s father, then I have a feeling I will be able to locate
both burial places, get the inscriptions (I found the technique that will work
and have seen the hundred or so probable headstones and one will be ours) and
be able to prove that Edward was his father. I also suspect that Maurice Sr.'s
wife will be the key to proving the rest of the descent back to Cullen as early
as at least 1667. Maurice Sr.'s daughter-in-law from Monard/Moanmore, (many
miles from Bohercrowe, but abutting the road to Cullen) Bridget Cosgrove,
daughter of Timothy Cosgrove, told me that Edward must have been Maurice Sr.'s
father and likewise Edward's daughter-in-law will probably unlock all the
records to prove that Edward's father was John Barron of Cullen and his uncle
was Edward Barron of Cullen, which will unequivocally prove that Pierce Barron
of Cullen and Margaret Hammersly Barron were their parents and of course from
Cullen. If all the above is true (very strong probability) then my family were
Protestants from the time of Edward Barron of Cullen dating back to at least
1667. I find this new, definite information that Ms. Barron's family was always
Catholic in Inistiogue most interesting because it seems nearly certain to me
at this time that my family converted to the Church of Ireland just a few years
after Cromwell's conquest of Ireland from 1641 to 1653 and my family remained
that way up until what looked to be my great-great-great grandparents, Maurice
Sr. and his wife, Bridget Power Barron. By the way, I sent an concerned letter
to that Dublin genealogist because he had a knack of constantly coming to bad
conclusions, constantly making insinuations and insults about my ancestors
(wrong ones I might add according to the locals in Tipperary town today that
knew our descendents, the O'Neills, a short time ago, that male-line died out
in the early 1900's) and not doing diligent research on my behalf, so now he
refuses to continue doing research for me, which probably just saved me $600
and a lot of headaches and malarky masking itself as real research. I can
finish the research myself at St. Mary's Church (Richard Cooper-Chadwick) and
up at the various archives in Dublin and do a proper job. An example of this
genealogist's insults against my family is assuming that James Power and his
son Edmund Power of Tipperary Town could 'not' have been my ancestors because
1. they were Protestant and 2. they seemed to be quite wealthy. This man did
not furnish any other information (only the short quips) on these Power
families because I was paying him to search only for the Barrons way back to
our probable roots in Co. Kilkenny. Simultaneously, this man tells me my Barron
ancestors were Protestant and from Tipperary Town, Bohercrowe & Cullen and
Mr. Ryan, the proprietor of TC Ryans in Tipp town actually 'knew' Mr. O'Neill a
few years back (20 years back I gather). These sorts of conclusions make no
sense because there is no reason to think that Bridget Power Barron's father
was Catholic just because her mother was Catholic and she was married in a
Catholic church in Tipp Town. In fact, in the late 1700's I know that it was
common for Protestant men to marry Catholic women merely because of a shortage
of eligible Protestant women to marry in Tipp town. The other thing is that I
know there was an Edmund Power living on a farm in Bohercrowe at the same time
that Bridget Power Barron and her husband Maurice were living in Bohercrowe and
I suspect Edmund was Bridget's brother, their father was Edmund Power and their
grandfather was James Power of Tipperary Town. It also would not surprise me in
the least if my Maurice Sr. was actually baptized in the Protestant Church in
Cullen around 1772 because there was no Protestant church in Tipp town back
then and Cullen was the closest church to Edward the Soldier's farm in
Bohercrowe. I also know that all the land records on Maurice Sr.'s farm in
Bohercrowe were actually kept in that Protestant Cullen church until the UK
Government ordered them sent to Dublin before the rebellion. Yes indeed I think
James Power will be the key to connecting my Maurice Sr. to Edward of Cullen.
Then, it is only a matter of finding out where Edward of Cullen came from
before the arrival of Cromwell and I suspect it was either in Bansha with
Walter Butler and his wife from Inistiogue, and/or also Brownsford in
Inistiogue. Edmund's daughter, Joan, married Sir Richard Butler's, Baron of
Knocktopher, son, Walter Butler. Walter was also the commander of the Fethard
garrison of 250 men and surrendered to Cromwell. Walter, the Earl of Ormond and
the Earl of Thomond (owner of lands in Bohercrowe, Cullen etc.) seem to be how
Edward ended up farming in Cullen and Edward actually may have lived in Tipp
town because it is known that Patrick Barron lived in Tipperary Town and farmed
lands in Emly, Damerville etc. in league with Joseph Damer, the Chadwicks etc.
Patrick Barron was also the name of my great grandfather and many other
Patricks in our known clan, which is an unusual first name for any Geraldine,
but not for the Barrons of Inistiogue! The reason for this unusual first name
seems to be because in the early 1300's the Lord of Iverk's youngest brother
was Lord of Ballygurrim, (now Ferrybank across the Suir River from Waterford
City) Slieverue and Rathpatrick and their male-line descendents were the Barons
of Brownsford & Cloone.
Finally, it looks like I will only need a little luck from Bohercrowe (a John
Barron lives across the street from our old farm and is probably be descended
from the Barrons of Cullen in the mid-1800's) on sorting out which headstone
was for Maurice Sr., Bridget Power B., James Power, Edmund Power and finally
Edward Barron the Soldier. After that a few days of serious study of the
Brownsford Barron and the landlords for properties in Cullen (Milltown,
Rathduff etc. owned by Barron cousins--3rd cousins--in the mid 1800's) from say
1600 to 1640 (I know the owners in 1640) should turn up some clues on where
Edward Barron of Cullen came from before 1667. Again, I say I already know the
answers are in Bansha and Inisitiogue and perhaps also somewhere in Connaght
where I know sometime between 1649 and 1653 up to 1660 Edmund Barron of
Brownsford and Cloone spent some years in exile, but did his sons, grandsons
etc. go with them? I say Edward of Cullen was probably given to his aunt Joan
of Bansha for upbringing from 1649 to 1660, when his uncle Walter got him the
leases in Cullen and perhaps a house in Tipperary town too.
Date: Sun, 25 Nov 2007 19:58:22 -0800 (PST) From: Christopher Barron[70]
I am sending two small fees to Tipperary Excel and the Gloucestershire Museum
because I was studying my genealogist's two reports and think I have finally
found the key to solving exactly how my family arrived in Cullen by 1667 and
exactly how we got to Tipperary Town and Bohercrowe from Cullen. It seems the
key to solving the puzzle lies in my great-great-great grandmother, Bridget
Power Barron (b. 1774, d. 1864). Bridget's great aunt was probably Grace Power
Emmet, who probably lived in Tipperary town (those genealogists are vague about
other families allied to the family they are searching). Grace Power probably
married a younger brother of Dr. Robert Emmet, Sr. of Cork City and Dublin. It
seems to me that the Emmet family could have been from Scotland (or
England--one son went to school in Edinburgh) and according to published
reports they came to Tipperary Town back in 1642, which is really before
Cromwell had true power in Ireland and England--even though the rebellions and
invasion started in 1641.
At any rate, I am searching for the wife and children of Edmond Power, Jr. of
Bohercrowe, who lived next to our family farm about a 10 minute walk outside of
Tipperary Town and was probably a brother of Bridget Power Barron from
Bohercrowe. My genealogist said that Edmond Power Sr. (mentioned in two deeds
from 1811 and 1812 and his younger brother's will dated in 1804 and probated in
1811) was the eldest brother of Captain William Middleton Power of the 28th
Foot from Gloucester and the other brother (will in 1804) was John Power, Jr.,
and their parents were John Power Sr. and Mary Middleton. Edmond Power Sr. was
from Tipperary Town and it seems to me that his younger brother must have been
a contemporary of my Edward Barron of the 32nd Foot for the Duke of Cornwall,
who was born in Tipperary town (1750) and served from 1771 to 1791. My
genealogist said these Powers did 'not' seem like my Powers because they were
rich and Protestant, but I think he made that conclusion simply because my
Bridget Power was married at Tipperary Parish (Catholic) in 1808 and was
probably baptized a Catholic. However, he seems to forget that 1. there were a
shortage of Protestant eligible women to marry in this area during this time
and 2. it seems likely that these Powers and Barrons were allied by blood and
business ties to the Emet family ever since 1642 and during this time frame
(1770 to 1810) there was the rebellion in Dublin of 1798 and 1803 and that both
of these rebellions were led by Robert Emmet Jr. and Thomas Addis Emmet, whose
family ties were both in Tipperary Town! Therefore, even though it looks like
the Emmet, Power and Barron families of this area were all Protestant from the
1640's up to 1798, it seems likely that all 3 families were re-thinking their
political and religious ties during these tumultuous days of 1798 to 1803! In
addition, this same genealogist also told me that my great-great grandfather
(John Barron of Tipperary Town and Bohercrowe) probably had to flee Ireland in
1867 due to the failed Fenian Rebellion of 1867 in Tipperary Town! John Barron
fled to NYC in 1867 along with the named leaders of the rebellion, Colonel
Thomas Kelly of Tipperary Town and Captain Timothy Deasy of Cork, which was the
exact same escape route of Thomas Addis Emmet in 1803!
The other thing is that the odds are that my Edward Barron of Cullen (ca: 1667)
was probably the son of Redmond or Maurice Barron of Clonpet, (2 miles south of
Tipp town) Roland Baron of Kilfeacle, (3 miles east of Tipp town) or William
Barron of Rathkany near Peppardstown (6 miles east of Tipp town near Cashel).
William Barron died in 1680 and definitely had a son named Edward Barron.
Therefore, I think I'm closing in on exactly which Barron family is mine in
Tipperary Town and Cullen and exactly where these families originated in, but
it looks like either an earlier named Redmond and Maurice Barron of Tipperary
named in the Fiants of 1588, who lived near the border of Co. Kilkenny.
Maurice's father was James FitzGerald, son and brother of two Barons of Burnchurch.
The other possible origin is a Richard Baron of Clonmel, (a merchant) whose
father was the Baron of Brownsford in Inistiogue. At any rate, I think all the
above is traceable with definite records, but the links and clarifying records
will probably be in legal records about the Power and Emmet families of
Tipperary Town and also in St. Mary's graveyard, whose origin does 'not' begin
with the building of St. Mary's church in 1831 (Richard Austin-Cooper Chadwick
was a prominent member of this church) because I've seen the burial places of
Dr. Christopher Emmet (d. 1743), his grandson, Christopher Temple Emmet the
lawyer (eldest brother of Thomas Addis and Robert the patriots) and also Mr.
McCarthy, who died in 1740 and all were buried almost 100 years before St.
Mary's church was built! Dr. Christopher Emmet was definitely a prominent
citizen in Tipperary Town because the Emmet family vault lies right next to the
current St. Mary's church and the legal records all point to the Power and
Barron vaults being within a few feet of the Emmet family vault and as I
remember those inscriptions are weathered, but there's enough left of the old
inscriptions that a cleaning and rubbing of the inscriptions on these vaults
will tell the names of the family owners and with land deeds dating from 1717
mentioning a business alliance between another man named John Power and a
William Barron, I think we have old alliances with both the Power and Emmet
families of Tipperary Town, not to mention the Chadwicks of Ballinard between
Cullen and Lattin! This is starting to make some sense and it seems that John
Barron of Cullen was probably the son of Pierce Barron and Maggie Hammersly
that moved to Tipperary Town and had a son named Edward Barron "the
Soldier"! I hope you are doing well!
PS: I forgot to mention that my John Barron (b. 1808) alleged in all official
records in NYC that he came to NYC from Ireland in 1863, not 1867, and it was
not until this genealogist provided me proof via land records on our old family
farm in Bohercrowe for John being the stated tenant living there in 1867! It
seems to me that John, his wife and all his children maintained a false
emigration date of 1863 for specific reasons, to confuse American authorities,
who back then and today have definite--and friendly--political relations with
the UK government. This also seems to connect my family to the Emmet family of
Tipperary Town because that Thomas Addis Emmet certainly got himself into a
load of trouble with the UK government in 1798 and also in 1803, but not as bad
as his younger brother, Robert Jr., who was hanged for treason by the UK
government in 1803.

A letter in the Greer archives at the PRONI to
Thomas Greer "II", as he is known to NI historians and genealogists,
in Dungannon, Co. Tyrone. It was written on 9 December 1778. The PRONI indexer,
who gave it the reference D/1044/525, added that there is a "Note by TG at
bottom". This note reads as follows:
"This letter was from the father of Mrs Gurney of Earlham, mother of
Elizabeth Fry and Lady Thomas F Buxton. Daniel Bell was my great-grandfather's
partner in the linen business at Tullylagan."
‘Mrs Gurney of Earlham’ proved indeed to have been born K/Catherine Bell,
daughter of Daniel Bell.

Gazette - Wednesday 09 June 1813:
A GENTLEMAN at Gibraltar has within these few month, brought to effect an
Invention of great national importance, for which the King’s Letters Patent
have lately been obtained. The proprietors are now, therefore, enabled to
announce to the public in general, and particularly to those whose professions
and pursuits require their going to sea, that they can offer them the
extraordinary advantage of possessing, in the simple character of a common Bed,
a complete and perfect LIFE PRESERVER.—It has in every respect the same
appearance, and affords the same comfort as an ordinary mattress, but being stuffed
with a composition which has an undoubted principle of buoyancy, that no length
of time in the water lessens, it becomes in consequence the certain means of
preserving life In cases of shipwreck. The simplicity of its construction
renders it capable of being firmly fixed on the body in less than two minutes,
and when on, it does not obstruct a seaman from performing his duty; on deck or
in boats; it is also a great protector from external violence, both for the
head and body. The certificates from the following professional characters,
equally distinguished by rank and judgment of experiment, which have been made
in their presence, and in some instances, by themselves, demonstrate beyond a
possibility of doubt, the certainty of its effects, as well as possessing no
quality deleterious to health, viz.....
These Certificates are in the possession of Mr. Jonathan Bell of Battle Bridge where the Beds are manufactured, and may be on the moderate terms of Two Guineas and Three Guineas each, at well as at Messrs Thompson and Co.’s, Long-acre; and Robt. Graham and Co. 304, Wapping. N. B. Seamen’s Beds supplied at 25s.each.

see Bill Jackson’s work on the Irish family:
Towards the end of the 18th century, yet others of the family may have played a
part in producing linen on a large scale: certainly they were linked with it by
marriage. We saw in the last chapter that in 1716 Alexander Bell’s daughter
Elizabeth (b. c.1697) married the linen draper Thomas Greer, known to researchers
of the extensive Greer archive in PRONI as ‘Thomas Greer ‘I’. Greeves tells us
that Daniel Bell (b. c.1700), Elizabeth’s brother, was ‘witness to his
br./law’s Will’; Frederick Greer, writing c.1908, confirms this.
Here is where genealogy can be as frustrating as angling: one catches minnows,
but much larger fish may get away. In PRONI’s Greer archive of, inter alia,
more than a thousand letters, no. 525 has a note penned on the reverse,
initialled ‘TG’. The note says ‘Daniel Bell was my great-grandfather’s
partner in the linen business at Tullylagan’. And Frederick Greer refers to
Daniel as ‘junior partner’. So that it at first appeared to me that Daniel, a grandson
of Archibald, had been partner to a Greer of the chronologically arranged
archive letters to have been specifically addressed to his son Thomas Greer
‘III’, no. 525 was clearly not written by the son. Rather, it seems certain
that the note was written later, whether by Thomas Greer ‘III’, or possibly by
Thomas Greer JP MP of Sea Park, Carrickfergus who in the 1880s took an interest
in the history of his family.
By then Elizabeth Fry’s work was very widely known.
There had indeed been a Bell business partnership with Thomas ‘II’. All through
the letters, the Greer family appear to have been connected with the Wakefields
of London. Thomas II had a bleach green at New Hamborough, alias Tullylagan, near
Dungannon, first mentioned in 1775. In 1776 it belonged to the firm of Wakefield,
Pratt & Meirs. After the dissolution of that partnership, Thomas’s offer of
£2,000 for ‘New Hambro’ was accepted. Later that year Messrs Wakefield &
Bell entered into a partnership with him and they ran it as Greer,Wakefield and
Bell until 1796 when Thomas proposed buying Wakefield & Co’s share. Not
only did there seem to be a link with our Bells, but another correspondent with
the firm was Joseph Wakefield – of Moyallon. Had the Wakefields and our Bells established
the firm in London?
‘Mrs Gurney of Earlham’ proved indeed to have been born K/Catherine Bell, daughter of Daniel Bell, and he a son of a Daniel Bell. But when eventually a pedigree of ‘Bell of London’ came to light, again done by the resourceful Greeves, it showed that they were a separate family, originating near Cockermouth in Cumbria. The above-mentioned Thomas Greer of Sea Park hazarded that that family’s paterfamilias, a John Bell of Embleton and later of Hundith Hill near Cockermouth, who had been ‘convinced of Friends principles by Geo Fox in 1653’, was related to and possibly even a brother of our Archibald. There being no firm evidence for this, we must suspend judgment. Yet the involvement of Bells – Daniel Bells at that – and Wakefields on both sides of the Irish Sea seems more than coincidence. Would that we could ask Greeves and Thomas Greer of Sea Park just why they researched those ‘Bells of London’. It would have been nice for our family to bask in the reflected glory of a link with Elizabeth Fry! Perhaps DNA profiling of contemporary descendants of all concerned may yet prove one incontrovertibly.

On Saturday morning, after a short but painful illness, supported with manly
fortitude, departed this life in the 50th year of his age, John Gurney, Esq. of
Earlham-hall, near this city, one of the Society of Friends, and of the firrn
of the Norwich, Yartmouth, Lynn, and other Banks. From an early period of his
life, this gentleman distinguished himse!f by a close application to business
and to the aquisition of general knowledge, and on all public occasions, when
the welfare of his fellow-citizens and the prosperity of his country were the
topics of debate, he ever shewed himwself a warm advocate for the rights of the
people, and proved his ardent attachment to his native land. His natural
urbanity of manners, and his munificent hospitahty, were rarely equalled, and
not to be surpassed. ln the fulfillment of his various duties of a husband, a
father, a brother, and a friend, his conduct was highly worthy imitation, and
the recollection of his virtues will endear his memory to all who who had the
pleasure cf his acquaintance. Eleven children (who long ago buried an amiable
mother) must with greater poignancy of grief lament the death of such a father
! Great and severe as it is to them, and to other numerous and afflicted
relatives their Ioss, how much more severe will it prove to those many persons
who were the constant objects of his benevolence! a bcnevolence which was
proportioned to his ample means of bestowirg it, and which, in accordancc with
the pure doctrine. of Christianity, was extended without any regard to sect or
country!

GURNEY, SAMUEL (1786-1856),. Bill discounter and
philanthropist, second son of John Gurney, banker, Norwich, who died 28 Oct,
1809, by Catherine, daughter of John Bell, merchant, London, was born at
Earlham Hall, near Norwich, 18 Oct; 1786, and educated at Wandsworth, Surrey, and
at Hingham, Norfolk. His brothers, Joseph John and Daniel, and his sister,
Elizabeth Fry, are noticed separately, At the age of fourteen Samuel was placed
in the counting- house of his brother-in-law, Joseph Fry, tea merchant and
banker, St. Mildred's Court, Poultry, London. On 7 April 1808 he married
Elizabeth, daughter of James Sheppard of Ham House, Essex, a handsome residence
that descended in 1812 to the young couple, and was their place of abode during
nearly the whole of their married life. The wealth that came to Gurney from his
father-in-law, as well as that bequeathed to him by his father, helped him to
rapid progress as a partner in Richardson & Overend, with which firm he had
become connected in 1807. Very soon after his entering this business it began
to assume gigantic proportions, and it was for about forty years the greatest
discounting house in the world, and the parent of all the other establishments
in London and elsewhere. At first only discounting bills, it soon came to
lending money on all sorts of securities. In the panic of 1825 the firm, which
had then become Overend, Gurney, & Co. were able to lend money to many
houses to tide over their difficulties; this brought them into favour, Gurney
became known as the bankers' banker, and many firms who had previously dealt
with the Bank of England now commenced depositing their surplus cash in his
hands. In 1856 it was calculated that his house held deposits amounting to
eight millions of money. Gurney took a part in the efforts of J. J. Gurney,
Fowell Buxton, and Elizabeth Fry for the improvement of prison discipline and
the reform of the criminal code. He refused to prosecute a man who had forged
his name, knowing well that death was the punishment for such an offence. He
also interested himself in the Niger expedition, and in March 1841 entertained
Captain H. D. Trotter, Commander W. Allen, and a large number of the officers
of the expedition at a farewell dinner at Upton. In 1849 he undertook a tour
of Ireland, where he made considerable gifts to poor people still suffering
from the effects of the famine. He became treasurer of the British and Foreign
School Society in 1843, and held that post till his decease. He was a very
liberal patron of the infant colony of Liberia, kept up a correspondence with
President Roberts, and for his many gifts was rewarded by his name being given
to a town of Gallenas in 1851. In 1853 he accompanied a deputation sent to Napoleon
III to express a desire for a long continuance of peace and amity between England
and France. His wife died at Ham House, Essex, 14 Feb. 1855, and in the autumn
of that year, his own health being much broken, he took up his residence at
Nice. Getting worse in the spring of 1856, he hurried homewards, desiring to
end his days in his own country among his kindred. He reached Paris, but could
go no further, and died in an hotel in that city on 5 dune 1856. He was buried
in the Friends’ cemetery at Barking on 19 June, when an immense concourse of
people attended the funeral. He left nine children and upwards of forty
grandchildren, but his eldest son, John Gurney of Earlham Hall, did not long
survive, dying 28 Sept. 1856. Gurney was the author of a pamphlet “To the
Electors of South Essex” 1852, in which he recommended the election of Sir E.
N. Buxton.
The great commercial establishment, which Gurney had brought to a position of
unexampled wealth and influence, after passing into less competent hands, was
reorganised as a joint-stock company in August 1865, and failed on 10 May 1866,
when the liabilities amounted to eleven millions.

[101] GURNEY, JOSEPH JOHN (1788-1847),
Philanthropist and religious writer, born at Earlham Hall, near Norwich on 2 Aug. 1788, was the tenth child and third son of John Gurney, a member of a well-known Quaker family, and a successful banker in Norwich, who was descended from Joseph, younger brother of John Gurney (1689-1741) q.v.;
Joseph John was therefore a brother of Samuel Gurney [q. v.] and Daniel Gurney [q. v.] Of his sisters, Elizabeth, the third, became Mrs. Fry [q. v.], and Hannah became the wife of Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton [q.v]. The mother of Gurney died while he was an infant, so that his domestic training fell to a large extent to his elder sisters, and especially to Mrs. Fry. Of a tall and manly figure, a handsome face, and a very affectionate disposition, Gurney was a favourite both with young and old. In his boyhood he was sent to study at Oxford under a tutor, though being a Quaker he never became a member of the university. He was greatly and permanently attracted by classical study, and found that its discipline harmonised well with the discipline of self-control so characteristic of the Friends. His first literary effort was a contribution to the ‘Classical Journal’ in the form of a review of Sir William Drummond’s ‘Dissertations on Herculaneum.’ The learning shown in the paper was remarkable,*and he was able to correct many of the author’s statements. Gurney also studied Hebrew. From an early period he had many serious thoughts. His Quaker views, at first rather lax, came to be held with great strength of conviction. Self-inspection became a ruling habit of his life; once a quarter, in what he called his ‘quarterly reviews’ and every night in ‘quaestiones nocturntae’ he examined the actions and spirit of each day.
In 1818 he felt himself called to be a minister of the Society of Friends, and from that time he was much engaged in work appropriate to his calling. In addition to such work, he was attracted strongly by philanthropic, enterprises, and other, especially educational, movements for the benefit of the community, In conjunction with Mrs. Fry, he took a great interest in prison reform, thoroughly sharing her views on that subject. He was intimately associated with Clarkson, Wilberforce, Buxton, and others in the cause of slave emancipation. In politics, he was a liberal, and an energetic and hearty supporter of free trade. In the Bible Society he took a very special interest, the day of the celebration of the society at Norwich being always a festival day with him. He made many tours to the United States, partly for religious services in connection with the Society of Friends, and partly to promote such public objects as the abolition of slavery, the abolition of capital punishment, and the restraint of war. Ireland, Scotland, the United States, Holland, Belgium, Denmark, Hanover, Prussia, and other parts of Germany he visited in this way. In July 1837 he sailed for America. He extended his journey to Canada and the West India islands, and did not return till August 1840. At Washington he invited the officers of the government and the members of congress to a religious meeting on a Sunday morning. The speaker of the lower house granted him the use of Legislation Hall; the chaplain of the house surrendered his usual morning service, and the room was crowded by the president and members of congress, their ladies, and many other persons. At the close of a powerful address upon Christian duty he was warmly greeted by Henry Clay, John Quincy Adams, and many other distinguished members.
Gurney’s labours through the press were numerous and considerable. In 1824 he published ‘Observations on the distinguishing Views and Practices of the Society of Friends’ intended chiefly for the younger members of the society. In the same year he published ‘A Letter to a Friend on the Authority of Christianity’ In 1825, under the title of ‘Essays on the Evidences, Doctrines, and Practical Operation of Christianity’ he embodied the result of the meditation and research of many years. Southey wrote (4 Jan. 1826): ‘I have gone through your volume with wonder as well as satisfaction. . , .It would have been a surprising book for one who was bred to the profession of divinity, and pursued the study with ardour during a long life.’ In 1827, after a long residence and inquiry, he published ‘A Report on the State of Ireland, made to the Lord-Lieutenant.’ In 1830 ‘Biblical Notes and Dissertations, chiefly on the Doctrine of the Deity of Christ.’ In reference to this work Dr. Tregelles remarked: ‘Thoroughly as the field of criticism has since changed, the value of that book remains.’ In 1832 ‘An Essay on the Moral Character of our Lord Jesus Christ.’ In the same year he published ‘Terms of Union’ and ‘A Sketch of the Portable Evidence of Christianity’ the result of a suggestion made to him by Dr. Chalmers. In 1834 his ‘Essays on the Habitual Exercise of Love to God’ appeared, and the hook was reissued at Philadelphia in 1840, and in a French (1839) and a German (1843) translation, On his return from America in 1840 he published his ‘Winter in the West Indies’ in similar letters to Henry Clay of Kentucky. In 1843, anonymously at first, ‘The Papal and Hierarchical System compared with the Religion of the New Testament’ This was reissued with his name, under the title ‘Purseyism traced to its Root, in a View of the Papal and Hierarchical System compared with the Religion of the New Testament.’ Several other works were printed privately, including ‘Letters to Mrs Opie’ and an ‘Autobiography’. After his death was published ‘Chalmeriana, or Colloquies with Dr. Chalmers’ (1853), and several little brochures selected from his works.
Gurney declined overtures made to him to enter parliament. He was conspicuous for the largeness of his gifts to philanthropic objects, his generosity being facilitated by simplicity and economy in the ordinary ordering or his life. He was married three times: first in 1817 to Jane Birkbeck, who died in 1822 ; secondly, in 1827, to Mary Fowler, who died in 1886, and thirdly, in 1841, to Eliza P. Kirkbride, who survived him. He died, after a few days’ illness, on 4 Jan. 1847, in his fifty-ninth year.

GURNEY, DANIEL (1791-1880), (DNB via Ancestry)
banker and antiquary, was born at Earlham Hall near Norwich, on 9 March 1791 He
was youngest son of John Gurney (d. 1809) of Earlham, Norfolk, and brother of
Mrs. Elizabeth Fry, the philanthropist, and of Joseph John and Samuel Gurney,
who are separately noticed. His mother, Catherine, daughter of Daniel Bell,
died in 1792. He descended from the ancient family of Gurney or Gournay, a
younger branch of which held certain manors in Norfolk, (temp. Henry II).
Daniel was a direct descendant of this branch of the family, After completing
his education, Gurney entered. the Gurnhey & Co., of which he was
afterwards the head, and for more than sixty years a partner. He wrote several
essays On banking, which, were printed for private circulation only. As the
head of one of the first banks in the provinces, he had much influence, both
socially and politically. His amiability, courtesy, and generosity greatly
endeared him to his contemporaries. Gurney was mainly instrumentall in
establishing the West Nor¬folk and Lynn Hospital.
One of Gurney’s favourite pursuits was archaeology, and he was a prominent
fellow of the Society of Antiquaries. He took great interest in genealogy. In
1848 he printed in two volumes for private circulation an elaborate work
entitled “The Record of the House of Gournay” to which he afterwards (1858)
added a Supplement. This book is highly valued for its varied antiquarian
Information and research. Gurney, who was a conservative in politics, was a
justice of the peace and deputy-lieutenant for the county of Norfolk, and
filled the oifice of high sheriff in 1853. He married in 1822 the Lady Harriet
Jernima Hay, daughter of William, fifteenth earl of Erroll, by whom he had a
numerous issue.

Dear Antony Maitland,
An internet friend, Hugh Casement in Germany, sent me your website details regarding the fascinating account you've posted reg. Chadwick families, including Bell, Gurney, Fry and Wakefield. Everything in it is interesting, thank you so much for sharing this.
I'd like to ask whether you ever came across any mention of the Wakefield brother, John Howard, who went to India for East India Company in the army ? The relevant passage in your website is above (66).
Priscilla, married to Edward Wakefield and had issue, one of whom was Edward Gibbon Wakefield, founder of the Colony of New Zealand;
Katherine, married to John Gurney, of Earlham, County Norfolk, and was mother of Elizabeth Fry, the philanthropist also of Hannah, wife of Sir Thomas Powell Buxton, Baronet.
Actually, and it probably isn't terribly important with regard to your website, Priscilla Wakefield (nee Bell) and Edward Wakefield had children, one of whom was named Edward Wakefield again. This Edward married Susannah Crash, and it was they who sired Edward Gibbon Wakefield & siblings, one of whom was John Howard Wakefield, my own gr.gr.grandfather. I'm only mentioning it for clarity's sake. So, Priscilla Wakefield was the grandmother of Edward Gibbon Wakefield and of Arthur, of John Howard, and others.
Priscilla's sister Katherine Gurney and she were very close. I've borrowed from the NZ Turnbull Library the microfilms of copied diaries of Priscilla Wakefield, quite famous herself for work among deprived women in east end of London.
I myself live in a tiny village in Australia, so most of my research is done via the internet and libraries, and the help of a very good friend in UK who has beavered in the India Office, London.
What I found absolutely fascinating was to read the account of the visit of the King of Prussia, with a Mr Bunsen present. The Bunsens were in the diplomatic service for Prussia.
Elizabeth Fry was a cousin to Edward Wakefield and his wife Susannah Crash. The daughter of Elizabeth Fry, Katherine who looked after the house, would have been a second cousin to JHW, my gr.gr.grandfather.
You see, the daughter of John Howard Wakefield, born in India to him and an Indian aristocrat who took the name of Maria Suffolk on baptism, was called Lucy Catherine Wakefield.
Lucy Catherine Wakefield married Count Hugo Radolinski, Prussian, in 1863. He later became Prince Radolin, working as Private Secretary to the Kaiser. I have read somewhere that she married from a Gurney household in London, her father having died the year before in London (her mother in India in 1852).
I've always wondered why Lucy connected with a Prussian - your website does offer an explanation. I would welcome hearing from you.
My own line of research at present concentrates on finding the background to John Howard's wife, who unusually took Suffolk as part of her name. Descendants of theirs Germany have a photocopy of a portrait, showing clearly Maria Suffolk Wakefield as a full name, and this is also given on her burial certificate (obtained from India Office in London).
It has been Hugh Casement who put me in touch with these relatives, who descend from Lucy Catherine (nee Wakefield) and Hugo Radolin.
You might also be interested to know that a son of :
67
Rebecca, married to Abel Chapman (c).
given in your website was called Henry Chapman. He became an Assistant Surgeon to the East India Company and, further, married in 1836 (in India) the sister of John Howard Wakefield above, one Priscilla Susannah Wakefield who had gone to India to teach.
Well, I do hope you don't mind my approaching you on this matter and very much look forward to hearing any ideas you may have regarding my "quest".
With kind regards, Maria Suffolk
p.s. I took my gr.gr.grandmother's name by deed poll many years ago.

[113] Jonathan Sharpe wrote (May 2005):
Dear Mr Maitland. I have been researching Edward Vaux d.1803, in relation to a painting, that our family inherited, which I believe to be of him. I have been puzzled by many internet references to him having been Ordained. I know his son William, son in law James Simkinson and grandson Edward Vaux were. He could just have been earlier in his life but I have seen several entries in London directories over the last three or four decades of the eighteenth century showing him in business but no reference to him as Reverent (family marriage announcements) but there is still quite a bit to find about him. If there has been an error which has been promulgated I would like to know. I notice that your site refers to Edward Vaux being in Holy Orders, as well as; his daughter Emma Vaux marrying James King, rather than Rev. James Simkinson. I include extracts from Boyd's Marriage index and a transcription of the probate copy of Edward Vaux's will (a longish one). ------------
I am only to happy for you to include this on your site. I am still wondering about where the idea of holy orders comes from as it was Maria's Father. There is usually some seed for an idea. I know I have had leave off cross-examining an elderly relative over inconsistencies in facts as I was causing real distress. Edward obviously had dealings with Quakers but since I have found Christening references for all but one of his children I don't think he would a Quaker preacher. Edward's father might have been or indeed an Anglican clergyman either in the Uk or South Carolina. He is a mystery which I would dearly like To Solve. I realise also have used information from the Chadwick Source and since that side has not been a central interest I have not checked it out but can be pretty certain that Maria Vaux married Jonathan Bell.
[114] William Murray, 1st Earl of Mansfield, PC, SL (2 March 1705 – 20 March 1793) was a British barrister, politician and judge noted for his reform of English law. Born to Scottish nobility, he was educated in Perth, Scotland, before moving to London at the age of 13 to take up a place at Westminster School. He was accepted into Christ Church, Oxford, in May 1723, and graduated four years later. Returning to London from Oxford, he was called to the Bar by Lincoln's Inn on 23 November 1730, and quickly gained a reputation as an excellent barrister.

[117] Saltford Brass Mill was one of a series of mills working in brass in the Avon Valley during the eighteenth century. Many of these mills, as at Saltford, employed waterwheels to power processes used by the company. Abraham Darby started making brass at Baptist Mills on the Frome in Bristol (near the start of the M32) in 1702. Brassmaking was much later transferred to Keynsham's Avon Mill, because of its better water supply. River transport was used to deliver brass ingots and coal up to Saltford; Weston Mill, Bath and other mills of the company.
The earliest main process involved the shaping of brass sheet into hollow-ware vessels, such as pans, bowls, and vats. Large water-powered hammers were used originally, to beat the brass ingots into sheet, and then faster hammers shaped the sheet into hollow-ware. This beating process was known as 'battery', so Saltford Mill was known as a brass battery mill.
Rolling mills (pairs of heavy rolls working like an old fashioned mangle) were soon introduced by the company, which produced brass sheets more evenly than hammers. Saltford Mill also became a rolling mill but hammers continued to be used for the production of hollow-ware.
The brass was malleable enough to be worked cold, but rolling and hammering could continue only for a limited period as the brass would 'work-harden', causing cracking. To prevent this, partially worked brass was periodically softened by heating, or 'annealing' it.
When this work originally started, individual pieces were heated over charcoal. Soon the Bristol industry devised bulk annealing in large furnaces heated with local coal. The brass goods were protected from damaging coal fumes by an inner sealed arch, introducing a new type of large-scale `muffle' furnace. The remaining Saltford annealing furnace, one of four once working at the mill, is the best surviving example of this important local innovation. The only other examples are at Kelston Mills, where only the outer walls remain.
Skilled immigrant craftsmen came from traditional brass making areas of the Continent bringing their valuable expertise. The skills of these men partly account for the growing success of the industry throughout the eighteenth century. Many of their descendants stayed at the local mills and several of their families continue to live in the Avon Valley today, with names such as Buck, Crinks, Craymer, Fray, Frankham, Ollis, Racker and Steger.

[163] GURNEY, JOHN (1688-1741), Quaker, was the son of John Gurney (1655-1721), a merchant of Norwich, and a Friend, who had been imprisoned from 1683 to 1685 for re¬fusing the oath of allegiance, and who brought up his family strictly in his own faith. He married Elizabeth Swanton and had four sons. John, the eldest, was born in St, Gregory’s parish, Norwich, 16 July 1688, was educated at Norwich, and followed mercantile pursuits. Early in his life he became an active Quaker, and when twenty-two was accepted as a mi¬nister. He devoted himself chiefly to the discipline of the society. In 1719 he attended the yearly meeting in London to propose to the government a further modification in the form of legal affirmation for the relief of con¬scientious friends, which was granted in 1721. He appears to have travelled with Thomas Story, but his ministrations were chiefly con¬fined to the neighbourhood of Norwich. In 1720 he defended the Norwich wool trade be¬fore a committee of parliament from proposed encroachment with such success and ability that Sir Robert Walpole, his personal friend, offered him a government borough. He held, however, that as the law then stood a Quaker could not conscientiously sit in parliament. In 1733 he visited London, and preached be¬fore the Gracechurch Street meeting. He died, after a long and painful illness, on 23 Jan. 1741 (O.S.), aged 52, and was buried at Norwich. He married, 9 Aug. 1709, Eliza¬beth, daughter of Joseph Hadduck of Little Barningham; she died 4 Jan. 1757. His two sons, John and Henry, were the founders of Gurney’s bank; his descendants in the male line became extinct on the death of Bartlett Gurney of Cottishall in 1802; his brother Joseph was ancestor of the Gurneys of Kes¬wick. Story describes him as a man of fine natural parts and of considerable eloquence. He was particularly esteemed as an arbitrator in cases of dispute owing to his impartiality and acuteness. His only, writings are: 1. “A .Sermon preached at Gracechurch Meeting” 1733. 2. ‘Sermons preached by Thomas Story and John Gurney in the Meetings of the People called Quakers” 1785. The popularity gained by his defence of the wool trade caused his portrait to be engraved in 1720 in a broad- side; underneath the portrait are verses to the ‘Norwich Quaker’. It is reproduced in the ‘Record of the House of Gournay.’
