A la fleur de l’âge, il quitta sa demeure le 12 octobre 1847. Hélas, il n’y devait plus revenir. Une explosion inattendue de son fusil lui fit sauter la cervelle et il tomba inanimé dans le lieu-même ou s’élève ce monument.

The Catholic Apostolic Church, also known as ‘Irvingite’ after Edward Irving, was organised in 1835 as a new movement within Christianity. It focused on the expected imminent Second Coming. Various accounts of the movement state that the members did not see themselves as a separate church as such but census and biographical entries suggest otherwise. A number of books, articles and theses have been written on it, for example ‘The Catholic Apostolic Church: A Study in Tory Millenarianism’ by D J Tierney in Historical Research lxiii (1990) and The Catholic Apostolic Church and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints: A Comparative Study of Two Minority Millenarian Groups in Nineteenth Century England, R J Lively, DPhil thesis, Oxford University 1977 cited in From Awakening to Secession: Radical Evangelicals in Switzerland and Britain 1815-35 by Timothy C F Stunt, 2000 p263. It is noteworthy that the cemetery contains the remains of other people associated with this movement, see: Henry Thomas Burne (1799-1865) and Alice E M Cardale (1870-1912).

Gilligan/Coyne family it has “They bought the farm in Hazelbrook from the Roper family (an English landlord).” Hazelbrook features in the (Irish) National Inventory of Architectural Heritage. From A Topographical Dictionary of Ireland, Samuel Lewis, 1837 it was at that time occupied by R Blakeney Esq. The County Roscommon Record of Protected Structures 28.07.03 (page 21) has a picture of the house, giving its location as Ballygalda or Trust, Roscommon and describes it as a country house. A list of landowners in Roscommon, which is not specific about the source other than ‘genealogy reference book’ (possibly an LDS Family History Center resource) and that the list is from the 1870s has: Capt. Robert Roper, address Munich, Germany, owned 485 acres. From a description of the Mainguy/Maingay/Maingy families originally from Guernsey, Anthony De La Combe Maingay (1795-1895) was the son of Peter Maingay by his second (of three) wife Anne De La Combe, and that he married Martha Hawkins in 1850. Martha Maingay died in 1889. A branch of the Maingy family changed the spelling of the surname to ‘Maingay’ by royal decree in 1840. The reason advanced for the change of name is that, when pronounced the French way, it sounds like ‘mangey’. In the 1861 census at 69 Pulteney Street, Bath: Anthony D Maingay, aged 66, fundholder, born at Stonehouse (Devon), wife Martha, aged 52, born at Twickenham (Middx), Elizth Hawkins, aged 82, widow, mother in law, born in Surrey, a nurse and two servants.

London: John Murray, 1843 is: “The following notes were penned to relieve the monotony of an Affghan (sic) prison, while yet the events which they record continued fresh in my memory. … The time from the 2d November, 1841, on which day the sudden popular outbreak at Cabul took place, to the 13th January, 1842, which witnessed the annihilation of the last small remnant of our unhappy force at Gundamuk, was one continued tragedy. The massacre of Sir Alexander Burnes and his associates, - the loss of our commissariat fort, - the defeat of our troops under Brigadier Shelton at Beymaroo, - the treacherous assassination of Sir William Mcnaghten, our envoy and minister, - and lastly, the disastrous retreat and utter destruction of our force consisting of 5000 fighting men and upwards of 12,000 camp-followers, - are events which will assuredly rouse the British Lion from his repose, and excite an indignant spirit of enquiry in every breast.” There are references to Captain Nicholl on pp 20 and 52 and in the list of dead on p325. Dum Dum is in east Calcutta/Kolkota and was the site of a British army base. The name was given to a type of ammunition produced in the 1890s at the arsenal there.

A reference to the marriage of John Mainwaring Uniacke of Youghal to Mary Blundell can be found in A Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Extinct and Dormant Baronetcies 2nd edition, by John Burke, London: John Russell Smith, 1844 p334.)

The death of Henry Turner Uniacke, aged 76, was registered 1907/Q3 Erpingham (Norfolk). The origin of the name Uniacke is Ireland, principally Cork. From the East Cork tourism website the Uniackes were a merchant family who first came to Youghal in the 13th century. East of Cork is Mount Uniacke. In Youghal, The Red House, baroque William and Mary style house dating from 1703, was designed by the Dutch architect Leuventhen for the Uniacke family. In "The History of the County and City of Cork" by Rev. C.B. Gibson, M.R.I.A., volume 2 (of 2), London: Thomas C. Newby, 1861, there are the names of the Protestants who raised troops into militia and volunteer corps in support of the king in 1778, and to oppose the Society of United Irishmen.

It was conferred the title of ‘Royal’ in 1921 following its involvement in the 1914-18 war. ‘Jat’ refers to a distinct ethnic group living in northern India whose origin is much debated but the consensus seems to be that they were originally Scythians from Persia and, in the development of the caste system in India, ‘purified’ Scythians were termed Rajputs and the ‘non-purified’ ones Jats. An alternative to the division between Jats and Rajputs on the grounds of ‘purification’ is that it arose from the rejection by the Jats of the Brahmin insistence on newly arrived groups in India having kings and a

Baronets of Scotland or Nova Scotia have a motto which is usually Fax mentis Honestae Gloria (Glory is the light/torch of a noble mind). It is meant to appear in a circle around a crown and therefore sometimes is reported as ‘Honestae Gloria Fax Mentis’. The proclamation by King Charles I in 1629 had 'An orange-tawny silk ribbon whereon shall hang pendant on a silver shield, a blue saltire thereon an inescutcheon of the Arms of Scotland with an Imperial Crown above the shield and around

the whole the motto-' Fax Mentis Honestae Gloria ' - Glory is the Torch of a Noble Mind.’ The honour, originally intended to raise money for the crown for the settlements in Nova Scotia, was meant to apply to Scotland and Nova Scotia individuals but its award was widened.

ON THE 17TH OF DECEMBER 1851. IN THE 88TH YEAR OF HIS AGE.

In the 1851 census at Paragon Buildings, Bath: Paul Anderson, aged 80, married, Lieut General, born at Waterford, Ireland, and a servant.

Will of Paul Anderson, Lieutenant General in Her Majesty's Service commanding the 78th Regiment of Foot of Bath, Somerset, date 5 Jan 1852, PROB 11/2145. From Gentleman’s Magazine vol XXXVII Jan-Jun 1852 pp299-300:

GENERAL ANDERSON, C.B. Dec. 17. At Bath, aged 86, General Paul Anderson, C.B. and K.C.

Colonel of the 78th Highlanders. He was the second son of James Anderson, esq. of Grace Dieu, co. Waterford. He entered the army early, and in 1788 was Lieutenant in the 51st, then stationed at Cork, when Sir John Moore became one of the Majors of that regiment. A friendship then commenced between them, which continued without interruption until Anderson buried the corpse of his commander on the ramparts of Corunna. Sir John Moore, as he rose in the service, had Anderson constantly on his staff. In 1792 he sailed with the 51st to Gibraltar and thence, in 1794, to Corsica, where he took part in the siege of Calvi, and the other operations by which the island was

reduced. In 1796 the 51st went to the West Indies, and Sir John Moore, then

Brigadier-General, appointed Anderson him Brigade-Major. He was present In the night attack on the heights of Morne Chabot in St. Lucia ; during which, as the troops were advancing under a heavy fire, the soldier next to him was shot, and in falling caught hold of him, when both fell together down a steep declivity. Anderson, on disengaging himself, scrambled up again and rejoined his men ; but shortly afterwards received a severe wound from the bursting of a shell, which long detained him from active service. In 1797 he had the happiness to save the life of Moore, by his attention to him when attacked with yellow fever in St. Lucia. In 1798 he served on Sir John Moore's staff during the Irish Rebellion ; and to his activity and presence of mind Moore was greatly indebted for the successful result of the action at Fook's Mill, which perhaps was the most sharply contested during the rebellion.

In 1799 he was again on Sir John Moore's staff in the expedition to Holland under the Duke of York ; and was present at the battle of the 2nd October among the sand hills on the Zuyder Zee, where his commander was twice severely wounded, and owed his life to the activity with which Anderson brought up a regiment to his relief.

In Dec. 1800 he was again on Sir John Moore's staff in the expedition to Egypt; and on the 10th March, 1801, was in the same boat with Moore, when his division forced the landing in Aboukir Bay. In the battle of Alexandria he was shot through the right arm, and he never again recovered the perfect use of it. Being thus for a time disabled, he returned to England, where he was employed in the recruiting service.

In 1806 he accompanied Sir John Moore to Sicily, and in 1808 to Sweden, and afterwards to Portugal, and served during the whole of the campaign which terminated in the battle of Corunna and the death of his friend.

In 1810 he was in the expedition to Flushing ; and on that occasion with a company of the Royals he got into the enemy's intrenchments, and killed or took prisoners a whole picquet of about 100 men, a larger number than that of their assailants.

In 1811 he was Deputy Adjutant-general to Sir Hildebrand Oakes in Malta, where he remained until the peace of 1815. While the plague was desolating the city of Valetta, it was mainly due to his wise precautions and untiring zeal that not a soldier in the garrison took the infection. In the field, Anderson was remarkable for his intrepidity. Moore frequently told his brothers that he never had known any man so perfectly self-possessed and unconscious of danger under a hot fire as Anderson. "It makes no difference to him," was his expression. An amiable disposition, a heart without guile and incapable of jealousy,

made him beloved by his brother officers. He was a man of unfeigned piety, of great simplicity, and of singular modesty, which prevented him from pressing his claims to reward or distinction. At length, it was proved that his long services were not forgotten. In 1827 the Duke of Wellington appointed him to the command of Gravesend and Tilbury Fort, and subsequently in 1832 to that of Pendennis Castle ; and in 1837 he received from the same hands the colonelcy of the 78th Highlanders. He became Major-General 1819, Lieut.-General 1837, and General 1851. He had never married.— United Service Magazine Grace Dieu, on the road from Waterford to Tramore, is now a retreat and conference centre run by Missionaries of the Sacred Heart.

In the 1851 census at Weston Road, Weston, Bath: Jane Quinsay, aged 60, unmarried, landholder & annuitant, born at Manchester, and two servants (housemaid and coachman). In the 1861 census at Weston Lea, Weston, Bath: Jane Quincey, aged 69, unmarried, fundholder, born at Manchester, a visitor and two servants. In the 1871 census at Weston Lea, Weston, Bath: Jane Quincey, aged 80, unmarried, dividends interest, born at Manchester, and two servants. The death of Jane Quincey, aged 81, was registered 1872/Q1 Bath. From the burial book: Jane Quincey, aged 81, of Weston Lea, Weston, died on 1 Mar 1872. This grave would seem to be of the mother and one of the sisters of Thomas de Quincy (1785-1859). According to various biographies, Thomas de Quincey was born at Manchester on 15 Aug 1785, the second son and fifth of eight children born to a successful linen merchant, Thomas Quincey. (Some sources have seven rather than eight children.) de Quincey initially was educated at Salford but in 1792, de Quincey's father died and his mother took the family to live in Bath where he went to King Edward School, then in 1799 a school at Winkfield (Wilts), and then Manchester Grammar School (from which he ran away), before his times at Oxford. In 1800 he went to Ireland to visit Howe Peter Browne, Lord Westport, a young friend from Bath who was the son of John Denis Browne, Lord Altamont. This is described in his correspondence. (For another Bath connection with Lord Altamont, see grave 5SN4.) The ‘de’ in ‘de Quincey’ is said to have been added by the family in 1799 because they believed they were descended from the de Quincis who came over with William the Conqueror. The correspondence between him and his mother and between him and Lord Altamont around this time (1799-1800) uses this new form. Works include: Confessions of an English Opium-Eater, 1822; On the Knocking at the Gate in Macbeth, 1823; Walladmor, 1825; Murder Considered as One of the Fine Arts, 1827; Klosterheim, or The Masque, 1832; Lake Reminscences, 1834-40; The Logic of the Political Economy, 1844; Suspiria de Profundis, 1845; The English Mail Coach, 1849; Autobiographical Sketches, 1853; The Caesars, various

publications in Blackwood’s Magazine, Tait’s Magazine and The Edinburgh Literary Gazette. The collected works occupy 14 volumes! From Thomas De Quincey’s Memorials and Other Papers Vol I Chapter 1, in describing his mother’s houses, has: “In 1800-1801, my mother had become dissatisfied with Bath as a residence; and, being free from all ties connecting her with any one county of England rather than another, she resolved to traverse the most attractive parts of the island, and, upon personal inspection, to select a home; not a ready-built home, but the ground on which she might herself create one; for it happened that amongst the few infirmities besetting my mother's habits and constitution of mind, was the costly one of seeking her chief intellectual excitement in architectural creations. She individually might be said to have built Greenhay; since to her views of domestic elegance and propriety my father had resigned almost everything. This was her coup d'essai; secondly, she built the complement to the Priory in Cheshire, which cost about one thousand pounds; thirdly, Westhay, in Somersetshire, about twelve miles from Bristol, which, including the land attached to the house, cost twelve thousand five hundred pounds, not including subsequent additions; but this was built at the cost of my uncle; finally, Weston Lea, close to Bath, which being designed simply for herself in old age, with a moderate establishment of four servants (and some reasonable provision of accommodations for a few visitors), cost originally, I believe, not more than one thousand pounds - excluding,

however, the cost of all after alterations.” The house called ‘Weston Lea’ is in Weston Park, south-east of the main village of Weston.

IN A VAULT BENEATH LIE THE REMAINS OF

EMILY MUSTERS WIDOW OF THE LATE

JOHN GEORGE MUSTERS ESQRE

OF WIVERTON HALL NOTTINGHAMSHIRE

DIED MARCH 5TH 1845 AGED 26

Baptised on 29 Jun 1777 at St George, Hanover Square, London: John Musters [IGI]. On 17 Aug 1805 at Colwick (Notts) John Musters married Mary Ann Chaworth [IGI]. From Gentleman’s Magazine Jan-Jun 1832 Vol CII p 188: NOTTS. – Feb. 5. At Wiverton Hall, near Bingham, aged 46, Mary wife of John Musters, esq. of Colwick, and Annesley Hall. She was the lady to whom Lord Byron’s early poems were addressed, and to whom he was so passionately attached. She preferred, however, Mr. Musters to the lame bashful boy-lord, and on their marriage he took her maiden name of Chaworth, of which ancient Nottinghamshire house she was sole heiress. On the death of the late Mr. Muster they resumed that name, and the name of Chaworth ceased in the county. On the occasion of the sacking of Colwick Hall by the rioters, in October last, Mrs. Musters was at home, and took refuge in the shrubbery; since that period she has never recovered. The same reference to Lord Byron can be found in History Gazetteer and Directory of Nottinghamshire by William White, Sheffield: Robert Leader (printer), 1832, p517 which also has “and perhaps one cause which swayed her in this choice was his Lordship’s impetuosity, and her knowledge that her paternal grandfather had been killed in a duel with William, the fifth Lord Byron.”

The reference to rioters at Colwick Hall is to the Reform Act riots of 1831 that occurred in many places in the country as a result of the House of Lords voting against the Reform Bill which intended to widen the franchise. It followed the Catholic Relief Act of 1829 (more formally An Act for the Emancipation of His Majesty’s Catholic Subjects) which had removed some of the remaining restrictions on Catholics. After a third reading in the House of Common, in Oct 1831 it was defeated by the Tory-dominated House of Lords. For an account of the sacking of Colwick Hall see The Date Book of Remarkable and Memorable Events Connected with Nottingham and its Neighbourhood 1750-1850 by John Frost Sutton, 1852 p425. The Reform Act was defeated again in the House of Lords in May 1832, rioting again ensued and King William IV agreed to create 50 new peers to secure its passage through the House of Lords and in June 1832 it was passed. On 28 Sep 1837 at St Mary Magdalen, Richmond (Surrey) John George Musters married Emily Hamond [IGI]. Will of John George Musters of Wiverton, Nottinghamshire, date 28 Dec 1842, PROB 11/1972. The death of Emily Musters, aged 26, was registered 1845/Q1 Bath. From the burial book: Emily Musters, widow, aged 26, of 8 Queen Square, died on 4 Mar 1845.

In the 1851 census at the household of Lady Gertrude Sloane Stanley at Eling (Hants): Honble John Jocelyn, aged 45, widower, visitor, late Captn 7th Hussars, born at Edinburgh.

Jocelyn, John, born in Edinburgh, 2s. Robert, Earl of Rodden. EXETER COLL., matric. 8 July, 1829, aged 18; major late 6th carabineers. See Foster’s Peerage.

The age at matriculation does not accord with a birth year of 1805. An account of the Descendants of Henry VIII by Leo van de Pas has: Hon. John Jocelyn, born Jul 1805, died 22 Jul 1869. Married on 18 Jul 1839 Emily Thompson. Married on 16 Aug 1855 Helen Hill.

PS XVII-15

References to Rev Robert Jessop have not been clear. No death registration has been found. From the burial book, Robert Jessop, aged 36, minister of Portland Chapel, died on 27 Aug 1847. The reference to Portland Chapel is to the one in Julian Road (formerly Cottles Lane), Bath on the western corner with Harley Street. Reference is made to this chapel in Bath Millenium – The Christian Movement 973-1973 by Barbara G Stone p79 with it being a Catholic chapel, a dispute having occurred about jurisdiction and Bishop Baines (see Introduction) taking it over in May 1832. It was sold to the rector of Walcot in 1841, becoming St Augustine’s/St Austin’s chapel and eventually St Andrew’s church hall. A Genealogical and Heraldic Dictionary of the Landed Gentry of Great Britain and Ireland by Sir Bernard Burke, 1863 p 1177 concerning the Pennefather family of New Park, Tipperary has the marriage of Susan Pennefather to Rev. Robert Jessop, no date given but the context suggests circa 1840. Green-wood, A Directory for Visitors by Nehemiah Cleaveland, New York: Pudney & Russell, 1857 concerning a New York cemetery has on p 100 a brief reference to ‘Mary, daughter of Rev. Robert Jessop’. However the NY Times has an article in 1852 which refers to a marriage conducted by Rev. Robert Jessop.

Mary Bowes, aged 73, unmarried, annuitant, born at Whickham (Durham), and two servants. The death of Mary Bowes, aged 79, was registered 1856/Q1 Bath. The ‘Eleanor Countess of Strathmore’ is ‘Mary Eleanor Bowes Countess of Strathmore (1749-1800)’ and ‘A R S Bowes’ her second husband Andrew Robinson Stoney. Mary Eleanor Bowes, born on 24 Feb 1749, daughter of George Bowes and Mary Gilbert, on 24 Feb 1767, married John Bowes (1737-1776), 9th Earl of Strathmore. They had five children including John Lyon-Bowes (1769-1820), 10th Earl, and Thomas Bowes-Lyon (1773-1846), 11th Earl. Through the provision in a will, the countess’s husbands had to adopt the ‘Bowes’ surname. There are various accounts of the two marriages. In particular the abduction by Stoney Bowes of his wife after she filed for a divorce in 1785 led to a series of trials. Eventually the divorce was finalised in a trial which revealed how Bowes had systematically deprived the Countess of her liberty and abused her. The divorce was granted on 3 Mar 1789. Stoney Bowes died in prison, on 16 Jun 1810. The novel The Luck of Barry Lyndon by William Makepeace Thackeray was based on an account of the countess’s life which he had heard from a grandson. There was also another child of Andrew Robinson Stoney Bowes and Eleanor Bowes: William Johnstone Bowes (1782-1807), born on 8 May 1782, who was a Lieutenant in the Royal Navy and died in Feb 1807 in the Indian Ocean.

The death of Doveton Chalmers Green[t]ree Swan, aged 5, was registered 1852/Q1 Bath. In the 1861 census at 15 Lansdown Place, Kensington: Eliza Greentree, aged 71, widow, born on St Helena, Eleanor Swan, aged 47, daughter, married, born on St Helena, Anne W Greentree, aged 45, daughter, unmarried, born on St Helena, Doveton W Greentree, aged 33, unmarried Capt.

Sec. to Council Military Education, born on St Helena, Eliza A Swan, aged 18, granddaughter, born at Ceylon, Eleanor B Swan, aged 12, granddaughter, born at Ceylon, Annie Swan, aged 7, granddaughter, born at Bath, and three servants. From a website in Sri Lanka maintained by Kavan U. Ratnatunga, Astronomer, Associate Research Professor, Physics Department, Carnegie Mellon University: SWAN, J. & CO. From an early directory it is found that J. Swan was a planter in 1845 on an estate called Morankande, Harispattu, in Central Province. In 1848 he had joined a firm styled Swan, Keir & Co. In 1849 he was the Secretary of the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce but in 1850 was its Chairman. In 1855 he was living at Marandhan and, as the Marandhan token bears the date 1856, he seems by then to have carried on business under his own name as James Swan & Co. The St. Sebastian Mills token is associated with the first coconut oil mills established in Colombo in 1832, which Ackland & Boyd (1829-1848) acquired from the Ceylon Government. These mills were first started by Governor Sir Robert Wilmot Horton, Bart (23 Oct. 18316 Nov. 1837), and actually ran on Government account for a short time. Considerable progress was made in the manufacture of oil, and Ackland Sc Boyd introduced into the mills the first oil machinery in Ceylon worked by steam. As Ackland & Boyd went into liquidation in 1848 it would seem that the mills then passed into the hands of James Swan & Co. James Swan died in 1865 and the name of the firm disappears from the directories after that date. (There was also a James Swan (1817-1880) who was principal assistant colonial secretary in Ceylon. He married Anna Eliza Charlotta de Vos.) In the 1871 census at Loosely Row, Princes Risborough (Bucks):

In 1896 she was elected president of the National Council of Women and served for three years.

The de Blaquiere family were Huguenots who came to England in 1685. William de Blaquiere was born on 5 Sep 1856 son of Charles & Agnes de Blaquiere. On 25 Jan 1888 at Christchurch Cathedral, Montréal William de Blaquiere married Lucienne Desbarats. From The Times of Tue 26 Nov 1889 (p 10; Issue 32866; col B): We have to record the sudden death of Lord de Blaquiere, which happened on Sunday last. His lordship had for some time been in delicate health, but no immediate danger was apprehended; his death was occasioned by the stoppage of the action of the heart. William Bernard de Blaquiere, fifth Baron de Blaquiere in the peerage of Ireland, was a younger son of William, the third Baron, a general in the Army, by his marriage with Lady Harriet Townshend, daughter of the first Marquis Townshend. He was born in December, 1814, and succeeded to the title in 1871, on the death of his elder brother. In early life he was in the Royal Navy, from which he retired with the rank of Captain in 1873, having previously been actively employed on the East and West Indian, Mediterranean, and North American stations; he also enjoyed the titular distinction of “Great Alnager” of Ireland. He married, in 1862, Anna Maria, only child and heiress of Mr. John Wormald, of Brockworth Manor, Gloucestershire, where it is arranged that the funeral shall take place. As he left no issue, the title devolves on his cousin William, son of the late Mr. Charles de Blaquiere, by his first marriage. The new peer was born in September, 1855, and is resident in Canada. Alnager: sworn officer to examine and attest the measurement and quality of woollen goods. There was a recommendation by the House

of Commons in 1819 that the office be suppressed and that Lord de Blaquiere, who has a vested right in a Patent for office of Alnager, should be compensated for loss of office out of money made available by the Government and not by a tax on woollen trade and manufacture. The birth of Kathleen de Blaquiere was registered 1891/Q2 Bath. In the 1891 census at 1 Park Lane, Bath: Rt Hon Lord de Blaquiere, aged 36, peer of the realm, birthplace not specified, wife Lady de Blaquiere, aged 26, children: John, aged 2, and Kathleen, aged 2 months, a presumed visitor and two servants. The birth of Allan Boyle de Blaqui[e]re was registered 1895/Q4 Clutton. (In index as ‘DE BLAQUIFRE’.) In the 1901 census at 3 The Circus, Bath: William 6th Lord de Blaquiere, aged 46, living on own means, born in Canada, wife Lucienne, aged 32, born in Canada, children: Kathleen, aged 9, born at Bath, and Hon Allen, aged 6, born at Wellow (Som), a governess and six servants.

Pres., Bath District, British Red Cross and Order of St. John: Organizer, Lansdown Place Aux. Hosp., Bath. From The Times of Thu 29 Jul 1920 (p 14; Issue 42475; col B):

Lord de Blaquiere died at Bath yesterday, aged 64. He had been ailing for some time, and his serious illness was intimated in The Times on July 5.

William, Lord de Blaquiere, who, as the name indicates, was of French extraction, was living in Montreal in 1880 when the title came to him. He had, the year before, married Marie Lucienne Henriette Adine, daughter of the late M. George Desbarats, of Montreal. On coming to England, they made their home at 3, The Circus, Bath, where Lady de Blaquiere actively associated herself with the many social and philanthropic movements of the place. Lord and Lady de Blaquiere sustained a double bereavement during the war. Their elder son, who was an officer in the Cameronians, fell in action at Neuve Chapelle in March, 1915, and their younger son, a naval sub-lieutenant, was drowned by the torpedoing of the Laurentic off the Irish coast on June 25, 1917, and these losses deeply affected Lord de Blaquiere’s health. The title now becomes extinct, there being only a daughter left, who married in 1911 the Hon. Dudley Massey Piggott Carleton, who is heir to the barony of Dorchester.

The first Baron de Blaquiere was a son of John Blaquiere, a member of a noble Huguenot family, who emigrated from France in consequence of the edict of Nantes and settled in London as a merchant, and died there in 1753. He was appointed principal secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in 1772, and was created a baronet in 1784, sworn of the Privy Council and appointed the King’s Great Alnager for Ireland, an office which was abolished in 1817. He was raised to the peerage of Ireland in 1800. The late peer was the sixth in order of succession.

The funeral is to take place at the Abbey Cemetery, Bath.

(The article refers to the Edict of Nantes as the cause of the emigration from France. However, this edict, issued on 13 Apr 1598 by Henry IV, actually granted rights to Protestants. It was the revocation of the edict of Nantes by Louis XIV in Oct 1685 which led to an exodus of Huguenots mainly to Britain, the Netherlands and Prussia.) From The Times of Sat 14 Mar 1942 (p 6; Issue 49184; col F):

Lady de Blaquiere, O.B.E., widow of the sixth and last Lord de Blaquiere, died at Onslow House, Bath, on March 12.

She was Marie Lucienne Henriette Adine, eldest daughter of the late M. George Desbarats, of Montreal. Her marriage took place in 1888, the year before her husband succeeded his cousin in the peerage, and she was left a widow in 1920. Lady de Blaquiere had three children, two sons and a daughter. Her eldest son, Lieutenant the Hon. John de Blaquiere, Scottish Rifles, was killed in action on March 10, 1915; and her younger son, Sub-Lieutenant the Hon. Alan Boyle de Blaquiere, R.N., was lost in H.M.S. Laurentic on January 25, 1917. Her daughter, Kathleen, is the wife of Lord Dorchester.

Elaborate memorial consisting of a square base on which sits a square block surmounted by a white urn with inscriptions on the northern and southern sides, the whole covered by a roof held up by circular pillars mounted on the base. From The Royal Military Calendar, Or Army Service and Commission Book, Third Edition, 1820 Vol V, pp 195, 247, London: printed by A J Valpy:

751. COLONEL SIR CHARLES PRATT, K.C.B. APPOINTED Ens. In the 5th foot on 14h of April, 1794; Lieut. the 3rd of Sept., 1795; Capt. the 28th of Feb., 1798; Major the 25th of August, 1804; Lieut.-Col. the 25th of March, 1808; and Brevet Col. the 4th of June, 1814. This officer served in Spain and Portugal under the Duke of Wellington: he was present at the battles of Salamanca, Vittoria, Nivelle, Orthes, and Toulouse; for which events he has the honor or wearing a cross and one clasp; and is a Knight Commander of the Bath.

2147 MAJOR CHARLES PRATT ENS. 82d foot, 10th Oct. 1805; Lieut. 25th Aug. 1807; Capt. 96th foot, 28th Sept. 1809; Maj. 24th Mar. 1814; now on half-pay of the latter corps. However, there is an enigma as Sir Charles Pratt KCB died on 25 Oct 1838 at Brighton ‘aged nearly 70’ and an obituary appeared in Gentleman’s Magazine vol XI Jan-Jun 1839 p210. Will of Sir Charles Pratt, Major General in His Majesty's Service, date 15 Jan 1839, PROB 11/1905. (This has his nephews James Pratt of Kinsale and Captain James Rose as executors.) Both on the monument and in the obituary for William Lockyer Freestun, he is referred to as ‘Charles Pratt, esq.’ without any titles that the awards on the MI would suggest.

The death of Charles Pratt, aged 78, was registered 1844/Q2 Bath. Will of Charles Pratt of York Terrace Regents Park, Middlesex, and Totton (Hants), written 23 Nov 1840, proved 17 May 1844, PROB 11/1999. The witnesses to the will were H R Fowler, clerk, of Filton (Glos) and Armer L Corry, Captain RN. Proved at London on 17 May 1844 on the oath of Josefa Benita Pratt widow the Relict the sole Executrix. (Armar Lowry Corry appears in the list of Commissioned Sea Officers of the Royal Navy, 1660-1815 and seems to be a member of the family of the Earls of Belmore.) (General Sir David Baird (1757-1829) took over command at the Battle of Corunna in the Peninsular war on the death of Sir John Moore (1761-1809). He had served in India where he was captured and held prisoner for four years. The ‘Duke of York’ referred to is said to be the ‘Grand Old Duke of York’ of nursery-rhyme fame. During the Napoleonic wars there was a brief British invasion of Flanders led by Prince Frederick, Duke of York and Albany (1763-1827), second son of King George III, who was commander in chief. The rhyme has alternative explanations, including one from the War of the Roses. There was an ‘Ordem de Cristo’ and an ‘Ordem Militar de Nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo’ which were both Portuguese awards. The ‘Order of the Tower and Sword - Ordem da Torre e Espada, do Valor, Lealdade e Mérito – was also Portuguese and was established in 1808.) From Gentleman’s Magazine vol XXVII Jan-Jun 1847 p80 in a list of marriages: [Oct. 20] … At Trinity Church, Isle of Wight, Col. William Lockyer Freestun, K.C.T.

Kensington. From Gentleman’s Magazine vol XII Jan-Jun 1862 p781:

COL. SIR W. L. FREESTUN, K.C.T. April 16. In Gloucester-square, Hyde-park, aged 57, Col. Sir Wiliam Locker Freestun, K.C.T. The deceased, who was the second son of Edward Freestun, Esq., of Primrose-hill, co. Waterford, by Mary, only daughter of Wm. Lockyer, Esq., of Wenbury-house, Devon, was born at May-park, Waterford, in 1804. He entered the army as ensign in the 5th Foot, and served for 23 years, and was on the staff of the British Legion under Sir de Lacy Evans, in 1835-6-7, in which service he became Colonel, and was three times wounded. He received the order of Charles III. (Knight Commander), and also the first class of the orders of San Fernando and of Isabella the Catholic. He served on the staff in Syria in 1840-1-2 (with the local rank of Major) as Assistant Adjutant-General, and was presented with a gold medal by the Sultan. He was first elected in the Liberal interest, Member of Parliament for Weymouth in 1847, and continued its representative till the last general election in 1859, when he lost his seat. In 1860 he received the honour of knighthood, and he was a deputy lieutenant and magistrate for Dorsetshire. In 1846 he married Josefa Benita, relict of Charles Pratt, Esq., of Totton-house, Hants, and the Belvidere, Weymouth, who survives him. (The inscription had it that he joined the Army in 1811. The ages in the census suggest that this may be 1821, ie at an age of 17, may be more appropriate !) A branch descended from Edward Lockyer Freestun (1802-1857) lived in South Australia. Despite being born in Ireland and having interests in Dorset, there is a Bath connection with the Freestuns which might explain why he was buried here. In the 1851 census at Combe Grove, Monkton Combe (Som): William V Jenkins, aged 37, unmarried, magistrate & landed proprietor, born at Monkton Combe, Caroline Freestun, aged 54, mother, annuitant, born at Bath, Humphry Freestun, aged 58, father in law, Lieut.

The biography of Sir David Lewis Macpherson (1818-1896) in the Canadian Dictionary of National Biography refers to his brother John who ran a forwarding company between Montreal and ports on the St Lawrence in association with Samuel Crane, and has his (David Macpherson’s) birth as 12 Sep 1818 at Castle Leathers, Inverness, youngest son of David Macpherson & Naomi Grant.

The marriage of Charles Dawson to Jane Marion Tayler was registered 1848/Q3 Holborn.

From the Death Notices in the Wigtownshire Free Press of 30-May-1850 (transcribed by Diana Henry and others): TAYLER/DUFF, Lady Jane - D22/5/1850 - At Edinburgh, on the 22d instant, Lady Jane Tayler, wife of Major Tayler, Rothiemay House, Banffshire, and sister of the Earl of Fife. The 54th (West Norfolk) Regiment of Foot (1782-1881) was stationed in India from 1822. However Gentleman’s Magazine vol XXXIII Jan-Jun 1850 p341 has, in a list of deaths: Nov. 13. At Antigua, Charles Dawson, M.D., surgeon 54th Regt. The Ballina Chroncile (Ballina, Mayo, Ireland) of Wed 2 Jan 1850 had: “November 18, at Antigua, Charles Dawson, M.D., Surgeon of her Majesty's 54th Regiment. He fell victim in the discharge of his military duties, to the yellow fever, which prevailed in the garrison.” The death of Jane Marion Dawson, aged 56, was registered 1868/Q2 Bath.
