Will of Marcia Lamb, Widow of Bath, Somerset, date 7 May 1845,
PROB 11/2018.
From the Encyclopaedia Britannica 1911:
JUBBULPORE, or Jabalpur, a city, district, and division of British India
in the Central Provinces. The city is 616 m. N.E. of Bombay by rail,
and 220 m. S.W. of Allahabad. Pop. (1901), 90,316. The numerous
gorges in the neighbouring rocks have been taken advantage of to
surround the city with a series of lakes, which, shaded by fine trees
and bordered by fantastic crags, add much beauty to the suburbs. The
city itself is modern, and is laid out in wide and regular streets. A
streamlet separates the civil station and cantonment from the native
quarter; but, though the climate is mild, a swampy hollow beneath
renders the site unhealthy for Europeans. Formerly the capital of the
Saugor and Nerbudda territories, Jubbulpore is now the headquarters
of a brigade in the 5th division of the southern army. It is also one of
the most important railway centres in India, being the junction of the
Great Indian Peninsula and the East Indian systems. It has a steam
cotton-mill. The government college educates for the science course
of the Allahabad University, and also contains law and engineering
classes; there are three aided high schools, a law class, an
engineering class and normal schools for male and female teachers. A
native association, established in 1869, supports an orphanage, with
help from government. A zenana mission manages 13 schools for girls.
Waterworks were constructed in 1882.

The inscription refers to Frederick & George Slade being buried in the
‘town cemetery’ of Richmond, Va. This would seem to be Shockoe Hill
cemetery on Hospital street, although the city owns part of St John’s
church cemetery at Church Hill. Shockoe Hill cemetery was
established in 1822 and was the first municipal cemetery in
Richmond. Shockoe Hill cemetery, Richmond, Virginia : register of
interments, April 10, 1822-December 31, 1950, in two volumes.
compiled and edited by Alice Böhmer Rudd.
No census entries have been found for Frederick & George Slade at
Richmond. It would seem that Ann Slade, née Willcox from Bath had
three children in the USA circa 1835 before returning to England prior
to 1845 when she married William Newman at Bath.

A Biographical Dictionary of Actors, Actresses, Musicians, Dancers,
Managers and Other Stage Personnel in London 1660-1800, Vol 2, by
Philip H Highfill Jr, Kalman A Burnim and Edward A Langhans,
Southern Illinois Press, 1973 has the following entry:
Bellamy, B. P. [fl. 1797], actor.
Mr B. P. Bellamy, “from York,” acted Juba in Cato at the Haymarket
on 4 December 1797. He was probably related to the R. P. Bellamy
who made his debut as Polonius at Covent Garden on 11 September
1815. The latter was from Norwich and perhaps was, in turn, related
to the Bellamy who, with James Smith, managed the
playhouse at Yarmouth for William Wilkins after it opened on 4
December 1778.
From The Bath Stage: A History of Dramatic Representations In Bath,
Belville S Penley, London: William Lewis & Son, 1892:

speech as manager, and was succeeded by Mr. Bellamy, a member of
the company, who possessed sufficient energy to restore the theatre
to its lost prestige had only the fates been with him.”
In Dec 1832 the proprietor decided to close the theatre, and a plan
for a continuation based on subscriptions was devised with Mr.
Bellamy becoming the lessee for the season.
p129 “[the theatre] closed on 3rd of June, the lessee had the
gratification of announcing that it had been “the most prosperous
season known in Bath for many years,” the result being a balance,
though a small one, on the right side.”
P 132 “After his one short season as manager, Bellamy severed his
connection with the Theatre entirely, subsequently (1835) becoming
lessee of the Assembly Rooms, and there being nobody to carry on the
management, both the Bath and Bristol Theatres were, in August
1833, advertised to be let by tender.”
From The Times of Wed 6 Jan 1836 (p 3; Issue 15992; col G):
INAUGURATION OF COLONEL JERVOIS, THE NEW MASTER OF
CEREMONIES – A grand ball, the fullest of the season, and which by
ancient usage on this particular ceremonial, is always open to the
general body of the citizens, took place on Friday evening. At 9
o’clock the band struck up “God save the King,” and the committee,
accompanied by the gallant Colonel, and headed by the lessee, Mr.
Bellamy, carrying the jewel of office on a superb cushion of crimson
and gold satin damask, entered the great room, and proceeded to the
state chair at the upper end of the ball-room, in which was seated the
Countess of Belmore, surrounded by several ladies also connected
with the noble families of the three kingdoms. … The ball was
attended by nearly 1,200, a more splendid assemblage than has been
known for 20 years – Bath Journal
The death of Benjamin Plim Bellamy, aged 64, was registered
1847/Q4 Bath.
From Notes and Queries. 1877; s5-VIII: 248
B. P. BELLAMY – In the British Museum there are several volumes of
MSS. formerly belonging to Mr. B. P. Bellamy, relating to the history
of the English theatres. Mr. Bellamy was manager of the Theatre
Royal, Bath, 1827 to 1833. What is the date of his death?

From Edmund Kean to the Manager of the Theatre Royal Bath, quoted
in The Black Presence On The English Stage (An Essay on Black Actors
on the British Stage since the 19th Century) by Kwesi Kay 1991:
“Dear Bellamy, I beg to introduce to your notice Mr Aldridge, the
African Roscius, whose performance I have witnessed with great
pleasure. He possesses wondrous versatility, and I am sure, under your
judicious generalship, will prove a card in Bath”.
This refers to Ira Aldridge (1807-1867) who emigrated from the USA to
England and acted in various theatres, including Bath, from about
1831.

From http://www.camden.gov.uk/ccm/cmsservice/stream/asset/?asset_id=146484 concerning various estates at
Finchley:
“Sir Thomas Maryon Wilson died in 1821 and divided the estate
between his sons. His will limited his heir’s ability to build on the land
as they could only grant short agricultural leases. This impeded the
younger Sir Thomas’ desire to develop land for housing following
trends in neighbouring areas. Residential development had reached St
John’s Wood, while Hampstead Village had a growing population
during the 18th century. The development of Finchley Road also
brought urban development closer to Hampstead when the turnpike
was built by Colonel Eyre of the Eyre estates connecting St John’s
Wood to Finchley in 1827. The road went through Maryon Wilson
land.”

“Clones lace is an Irish Crochet lace, named after the town where it
was marketed, developing its own character over nearly 150 years.
Cassandra Hand, wife of the local Church of Ireland minister
introduced it as a famine relief scheme to this small drumlin region of
west Monaghan and south-east Fermanagh in 1847. Within a short
period, nearly every family in the area was involved in the production
of crochet lace, supplying markets in Dublin, London, Paris, Rome and
New York. Clones soon became the most important center of crochet
lace-making in the north of Ireland, while Cork was the leading center
in the south.”

Baverstock, esq., of Alton, Hants.
The father would seem to be James Baverstock (1741-1815) brewer.
There are references to James Baverstock senior and junior in A
History of Beer and Brewing by Ian S Horney, Royal Society of
Chemistry, 2003. The Baverstocks, father and son, built a brew house
in Turk Street, Alton in 1763. It was bought by Abraham Crowley in
1821. Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine Vol XV of Jan-Jun 1824 on p
233 refers to the publication of “The several Treatises of the late
James Baverstock, Esq., on the Brewery, collected into one volume
with Notes; together with an Introduction, containing a biographical
sketch of the Author; a Paper on Specific Gravities, and on the various
Hydrostatical Instruments which have been used in the Brewery. By
his Son, J. H. Baverstock, F.S.A.”
Bibliotheca Britannica by Robert Watt, Edinburgh 1824, p85
(republished 1995 by Rydon Books) has:
BAVERSTOCK, J. Brewer, at Alton, Hampshire. – Hydrostatical
Observations and Experiments in the Brewery. Lond. 1785, 8vo. 2s –
Les Changes fait sur Londres depuis Douze jusqu’à Vingt huit Deniers
Sterlins pur un Ecu de France, en Montant Progressivement par

Prejudices against the Brewery, wherein the true Principles of that
Process, with the Causes of the uncertainties experienced by Private
Families are pointed out. Lond. 1812 8vo 3s. 6d.
A Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Commoners of Great
Britain and Ireland by John Burke 1835 Vol I p 515 has a pedigree for
Baverstock of Alton and Windsor. This has Frances as the fourth child
of James Baverstock and Jane Hinton (married 1769) and states that
James Baverstock died at Southampton in 1815 and was buried at
Alton.

The Mayor and several of the Stothert family were among the
subscribers to the pools listed in the Bath Weekly Chronicle of 20 Jul
1815. An advertisement on 26 Jun 1817 stated that “The Pleasure
Baths situated on the Banks of the Avon are now open”.
In 2004 Cleveland Baths, Hampton Row, Bathwick, Bath was being
offered for sale. The sale notice stated that it had closed about
twenty years before and had been briefly a trout farm. Also “the
building, which opened in the 1820s, is the only surviving Georgian
lido in the country. After the private pool at Emmanuel College,
Cambridge it is the oldest swimming pool in the UK”
From the Bath & North East Somerset Council report on options for
the baths (ref: E: 1518 date 1 Dec 2007) “The Baths were built in
1815 as a private venture which allowed the public to swim at the
Baths. The main buildings date from that period. The Baths closed in
1898/9 and were then taken over by the Bath Corporation in 1900 and
reopened in 1901. The Baths were altered in the Edwardian period
and other alterations took place in the 1960’s and 1980’s. The Baths
in their current form are early 20th Century but they follow the form
of the older Baths. The Baths were operated by the Council as an
open air swimming pool until 1978; the property was then in
occasional use up until it closed in 1984. They were then used as a
trout farm from July 1984 until 1991 and then the tenant remained in
occupation until June 2004. After this date the property has been
void.

during this time expressing interest in the property asking for a delay
in the disposal. The property was withdrawn from the market in
August 2004 as the Trust had asked for time to examine the potential
to “save” the building and/or find a use that allowed an element of
public access. The Trust has 125 subscribers and 1,500 signed up
supporters. The Council had received offers for the freehold disposal
of the property.”

Janet Smith published by English Heritage, London, July 2005,

Square 3’
On the cross ‘CUIDICH N’RHI’. From Hart’s Annual Army List for 1860
p 310 the 78th (Highland) Regiment of Foot (or Ross-shire Buffs) had as
its motto: “Cuidich n’Rhi” – The Elephant, superscribed “ASSAYE”
“MAIDA” “JAVA”. The motto is Gaelic for ‘Help the King’. (It also
occurs as ‘Cuidich ‘n Righ’.) ‘Assaye’ comes the battle on 23 Sep 1803
in the Second Anglo-Maratha War. ‘Maida’ from the battle in Calabria
on 4 Jul 1806 against the French, the British defending the Kingdom of
Naples. ‘Java’ comes from the operation in Java against Franco-Dutch
troops in 1811. (In 1881 the 72nd and 78th regiments were merged into
the Seaforth Highlanders.)
This family seem to be descended from William Skrine of Claverton.

Harry Capon, aged 52, relieving officer & registrar of birth and

son Selwyn N, aged 10, born at Acle.
Selwyn Norman Capon appears on crew lists for the Magicstar 1925
(1st Mate), Celtic Star 1929 (Master) Doric Star 1930 (Master). These
ships were part of the Blue Star Line’s fleet. The Blue Star Line
founded in 1911 by the Vestey family to carry their chilled beef from
Argentina and other South American countries was sold to P&O
Nedlloyd in 1998 and the latter was acquired by AP Moller Maersk
Group (Maersk) in 2005.
In 'This Inglorious Business' from 'Singapore: The Pregnable Fortress'
by Peter Elphick, Hodder & Stoughton, London, 1995: “The Empire
Star was alongside Keppel Harbour wharf on 11th February [1942]
when her master, Captain Selwyn Capon, OBE, received orders from
Naval HQ to evacuate women, children, air force personnel, and
certain other officially-designated escapees as part of the last "big
ship" evacuation convoy.” The Empire Star was one of the last major
ships to leave Singapore before its fall to the Japanese, officially at
6.10 pm Sun 11 Feb 1942, leaving at daybreak on the 12th. The ship
was attacked from the air several times while in the Durian Strait; it

suffered three direct hits with 16 killed and 17 severely wounded.
Vigorous evasive action limited further damage. Of the sixteen ships
that left Singapore, the Empire Star was one of the two that was not
sunk and arrived at Tanjong Priok, Batavia’s port. After 48 hours
there, the ship proceeded to Fremantle where it was repaired.
Capt. Capon who had been awarded an O.B.E. in the First World War,
became a Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British
Empire as a result of this event.
The Empire Star was torpedoed and sunk by a German submarine (U615) in the North Atlantic, north of the Azores, on 23 Oct 1942, while
on a voyage from Liverpool to East London, South Africa, travelling
unescorted. Four men were killed on board. There were three
remaining lifeboats. Two of the lifeboats were picked up two days
later but the captain’s boat with 26 crew, 6 gunners and 6 passengers
was never seen again.

The Regions Beyond Missionary Union (RBMU) was set up by Henry
Grattan Guinness as the East London Training Institute for Home and
Foreign Missions in Stepney Green in 1873, moving to Harley House,
Bow later in 1873. The interdenominational organisation, which
focused on training missionaries for areas outside the British Empire,
changed its name in 1899. It also trained the missionaries in medical
matters. During the 1880's Bromley Hall, Gillender Street, Bow Back,
East London was used by the RMBU to house nurses. An example of
Henry Grattan’s speeches can be found in the New York Times of Wed
27 Apr 1900 in an article entitled HIGHER EDUCATION QUESTION.;
Position Religion Should Occupy in Course of Study Argued at Central
Presbyterian Church which reported his speech in which he advocated
sending missionaries to areas where there was no ‘evangelical place
of worship’, citing examples of Africa: “Just look at this map of the
horseshoe bend of the Congo River. Here is a town, Bongandanga,
where there is a small mission. North of it there is no place of worship
within 2,000 miles – not until you come to the shores of the
Mediterranean. East of it you must go to the shores of the Indian
Ocean before you come to an evangelical place of worship. West
there is only one mission between it and the Atlantic. South you must
travel 1,500 miles be[f]ore you come to the advance wave of
civilization and the first mission.” (The interdenominational aspects
of the organisation would seem to have been limited to ‘evangelical’
denominations and biographies describe him as being bitterly opposed
to the Roman Catholic Church.)
The organisation changed its name to Horizons in 1981 before merging
with World Team in 1995. Its archive was deposited with the Centre
for the Study of Christianity in the Non-Western World and contains
minutes, correspondence and reports and newsletters. This material is
available on microfilm from Adam Matthew Publications Ltd of
Marlborough. Other material related to the RBMU includes: The cloud
moves by Kenneth Holmes, London : The Regions Beyond Missionary
Union, 1974; Drumbeats that changed the world: a history of the
Regions Beyond Missionary Union and the West Indies Mission, 18731999, by Joseph Conley, Pasadena, CA: William Carey Library, 2000.

The Times of Wed 22 Jun 1910 (pg. 13; Issue 39305; col D had the
following obituary:
The Rev. H. Grattan Guinness, D.D., F.R.A.S, F.R.G.S., died
yesterday at Bath, where he resided for over two years. He had been
confined to his house for the past four months, and for some time had
not appeared on any public platform. He spent the end of his life in
writing books.
Dr. Guinness was born near Dublin in 1835, being the son of
Captain John Guinness, H.E.I.C.S. He was educated at New College,
London, and carried on evangelistic work in England and Ireland and
other countries. In conjunction with his wife he founded in 1873 the
East London Institute for the training of young men for home
evangelization and foreign missions. Gradually, however, as Bible
training institutions sprang into existence both in America and in this
country, the preparation of workers was concentrated on the foreign
field only. In the course of 37 years the one training institution has
developed into three, and four foreign missionary movements, in
Central Africa, South America, and India, have sprung into existence,
the whole work being now known under the title of “The Regions
Beyond Missionary Union.” The Union is unsectarian. The Congo Balolo
Mission, which it supported, was instrumental in revealing certain
abuses of the Free State Administration, and Dr. Guinness at one time
took a prominent part in the agitation in this country.
Dr. Guinness was also the author (in conjunction with his late wife)
of several works on Prophecy, which have had large circulations, the
principal of these being “The Approaching End of the Age in the Light
of History, Prophecy, and Science,” which has gone to 14 editions. A
series of popular lectures delivered many years ago in Exeter Hall
were subsequently published under the title “Romanism and the
Reformation from the Standpoint of Prophecy.”
The book mentioned appears in a list of new books in The Times, of
Thu 7 Jul 1887 (pg. 12; Issue 32118; col E) with “Author of “Light for
the Last Days,” “Approaching End of the Age,” &c “
A report of the Congo Reform Association, with Dr. Grattan Guinness
mentioned as one of the attendees, appeared in The Times of Thu 8
Jul 1909 (pg. 8; Issue 39006; col E). This association issued a
statement critical of Belgian administration in the Congo and its
perpetuation of slavery.

From A History of the Church of England in India
Since the Early Days of the East India Company by Eyre Chatterton,
Bishop of Nagpur, London: SPCK, 1924 in Chapter XIV. The Diocese of
Bombay, 1837:
“When we turn from this description of the Bombay Presidency and
Diocese to its past history, we notice at once how closely the life of
the diocese and that of the Presidency have run side by side. The first
Archdeacon of Bombay was appointed just about the time when the
greater portion of the dominions of the Mahratta Peshwa passed into
the hands of the British. The Bombay Presidency, as we now have it,
reached its present size about the time of the appointment of the
first Bishop of Bombay. Barnes, the first Archdeacon of Bombay, was a
man of great energy and earnestness. He had been a College friend of
Bishop Heber. During his period no less than five Churches were built
at Surat, Thana, Kaira, Poona, and Baroda: all of which were
consecrated by his friend Bishop Heber during his visit to Bombay in
1824. Archdeacon Barnes was succeeded in the Archdeaconry by
Thomas Carr, who in the year 1837 was consecrated first Bishop of
Bombay. When he resigned, fourteen years later, he had served in
India as Chaplain, Archdeacon, and Bishop for thirty-four years, and
had only once visited England during that period, and that visit was
for his Consecration. He must have been a fine-looking man, judging
by his recumbent statue in Bombay Cathedral, and he certainly had a
magnificent constitution. To have endured the Bombay climate for

thirty-four years without any of the amenities of life, punkahs, ice
and hill stations, which we now enjoy, was a rare thing in those
bygone days.”
From Gentleman’s Magazine vol VII (new series) Jul-Dec 1859, p427:
Sept. 5. At Bath, aged 71, the Right Rev. Thomas Carey, .D. (B.A.
1813), St. John’s College, Cambridge, Bishop of Bombay 1836 to 1851,
Rector of Bath (1854). The deceased prelate was educated at St.
John’s Cambridge, where, in 1813, he distinguished himself as senior
optime. In 1836 he was appointed Bishop of Bombay, but resigned in
1851, in consequence of ill health. In 1854, when the Hon. and Rev.
W. J. Brodrick became a resident canon at Wells, Bishop Carr was
appointed to succeed him in the Rectory of Bath; and during the five
years he had resided there, he won and retained the esteem of all
who came within the sphere of his ministry. Dr. Carr continued in his
usual good health, and zealously discharged his onerous duties, until
about three weeks ago, when he was seized with paralysis, which
rendered him completely prostrate. Feeling that he had finished the
work appointed for him to do on earth, his Lordship immediately
resigned his living, and though the hand of death lay heavily upon
him, he waited his period of dissolution with that calmness and
serenity which had ever marked his career through life. His Lordship’s
high social position never withdrew him from a familiar parochial
intercourse with his parishioners; and it must now be recorded of him
that as he was universally beloved in this city, his loss is now
universally regretted. The remains of the deceased prelate were
conveyed to their last earthly resting-place in the Widcombe
cemetery. The funeral left Lansdown-crescent at 10 o’clock, and
whilst passing Stall-street, was joined by the parochial clergy and
children of the Blue Coat Schools, who previously assembled in the
abbey church. The Burial Service was read by the Lord Bishop of the
Diocese, Lord Auckland.
A marble effigy of Bishop Carr, in repose, exists in Bombay’s St
Thomas Cathedral.

Hampton Gay is a village in Oxfordshire near Kidlington. It was
abandoned and the manor house is in ruins. In the 19th century there
was a paper mill driven by a steam engine; it closed circa 1887. A
Guide to the Architectural Antiquities in the neighbourhood of
Oxford, published at Oxford in 1846 in its section on Hampton Gay
refers to the paper mill being owned by C Venables, Esq.

From the Hitchin and Taplow Preservation Society’s Newsletter 87
Spring 2007 in a article entitles ‘Farewell to Taplow Paper Mill’ (see
www.taplowsociety.org.uk):
“The story then moves to Charles Venables & Co., 1840-1930. Charles
and George Venables occupied the site around 1840, being well known
in the High Wycombe and Cookham areas as papermakers, and it is
likely that the mill was mechanised at this time. Charles was a
doughty proponent of the rights of employers and wrote in no
uncertain terms about reductions in children's hours of work in 1843:
'If the present government having done all that can be done to injure
and ruin the papermaking trade in the United Kingdom by the
protection and assistance given to the foreign manufacture, any
further interference would be unjust and arbitrary in the extreme and
uncalled for.' A contemporary newspaper said: 'There was the
authentic voice of thunder from Charles Venables of Taplow Mill. Fair
and free competition in trade is also not a new desire!'
The Venables family were very active and are noted around 1840 as
operating nine mills locally, including one at Cookham. Lord Orkney,
auctioning the Taplow estate in 1852, records the mill as leased to
George Venables on a yearly basis.”

(A Rev Willoughby Bean (1801-1877) went to Australia in the 1820s. He
was granted 800 ha of land in 1833 at Brisbane Water, NSW. This is
north of Sydney in an area called ‘Central Coast’. In 1826 he was
appointed as a magistrate. He married Harriet Bayley (ca 1807-1892)
in 1838 and at some point moved to Victoria. Willoughby Bean is
reported as being the first Anglican minister in Gippsland, Victoria in
1849. From information posted by Ann Napier in 2006 “I have just
read an article about him which describes him as "a native of
Hampshire'. His mother was Elizabeth Haffy and I understand that his
father's name was also Willoughby Bean and that he was captured by
the French in the Napoleonic wars, and sat out the remainder of the
war at Amboise in France.”)
