| 3833 | The Acland Home was initially established in memory of Sarah Acland who died on 25 October 1878. She was the wife of the Oxford academic and physician, Henry Acland. Work began quickly and a district nurse was working out in the field within weeks of the project starting. In 1879, the institution was formally opened by the Prince of Wales (later King George V). Sir Henry Acland retired from his Regius Professorship at Oxford in 1894, and he apportioned a large percentage of a £3,000 testimonial to the Home for Nurses for expansion. In 1895 the hospital functioned as "an institution that provides district nurses and medical appliances for the poor, and maintains private nurses and a medical and surgical home to which patients unable to afford the ordinary fees are admitted on a reduced scale of charge." According to The Victoria History of Oxford, the Acland Nursing Home was the "only hospital in Oxford which did not join the National Health Service in 1948". The Acland Home was renamed as the Acland Hospital in 1964. | Broadway, Florence Alice (I10740)

| 3835 | The application for a US Passport was made to allow Francis and his wife Fannie to visit relatives in the UK and for a vacation in France. They departed from New York aboard the ship "Aquatania" on 14 Jun 1921, and returned via Liverpool to Quebec aboard "SS Melita" on 19 Aug 1921. Francis appears on the ships passenger manifest for the "SS Regina" sailing from Liverpool, England on 17 Aug 1923 arriving in Quebec, Canada on 24 Aug 1923. He is travelling with Sydney Kilburn, a naturalised US citizen. Sydney gives the same home address as Francis on the Canada/USA Border crossing documentation. Further excursions to the UK take place as we find Francis and Fannie on the passenger manifest of the "SS Berengaria" sailing from Southampton, England on 8 September 1828, arriving in New York on 14 September 1928. Once again appearing on the passenger manifest of the "Aquitania" sailing from Southampton, England on 9 Aug 1930 arriving in New York on 15 Aug 1930. | Pearce, Francis Simeon Henry (I7059)

| 3836 | The asylum, under the control of Plymouth Town Council, was managed by a visiting committee of 12 members of the Council. Built in 1891 and extended in 1905, it accomodated 475 patients and comprised 95 acres, of which 30 acres were covered by asylum buildings and the remainder used as a farm and recreation ground. It was eventually merged into the Moorhaven Mental Asylum (close by) in 1947. [Source: Devon Heritage (1923)] | Thomas, Alice Spencer (I5133)

|
| 3841 | The birth certificate indicates that Arthur's father was Benjamin Bowie. This is probably a fabrication as no such person seems to exist and in 1881, Mary claims to be a widow. | Bowie, Arthur (I19584)
|
| 3842 | The BMD register records a marrige between James Edmonds and Hannah Lewis. All further records show her name as either Sarah or Ann. | Family F3079

|
| 3844 | The British Copper Company was founded in 1807. Copper ingots, manufactured at the smelting works near Swansea, were brought by sea to the Thames estuary, and then up the river Lea by barge to the mills at Walthamstow where it was rolled into sheet. At that time a lot of copper sheeting was needed to 'copper bottom' the wooden hulls of ships - and thus prolong the ship's life. Between about 1809 - 1811, the family probably moved to Walthamstow from Llansamlet. | Monger, John (I2467)
|
| 3845 | The burial record gives no indication of Thomas' age at death. | Rayner, Thomas (I25363)

|
| 3848 | The Chapelry of Worton has burial records for two Mary Maggs (the other presumably the wife of Thomas). One was buried on 9 Aug 1856, aged 74, and the other on 27 Jan 1857, aged 76. At this point, there is no way to determine which was which. Source: Annette, courtesy of Jenny Horton. | Bolter, Mary (I6290)

| 3853 | The death and burial of Fanny is something of a "calculated guess". She is the only Fanny Heaver recorded death I could find in Saskatchewan Province. I'm happy to be corrected by family members if this entry is incorrect. | Mathews, Fanny (I16367)
|
| 3854 | The death certificate for Elizabeth was receievd from Wynne Edwin Baxter, Coroner for Middlesex following this inquest. Although there are hints of foul play (Source: Family Descendants), the evidence was insufficient to show how and under what circumstances she was immersed. | Wooster, Elizabeth (I8939)
|
| 3855 | The death of Peter and the subsequent remarriage of his wife, Hannah, record Peter's surname as 'Harrision'. However, his birth was recorded as 'Harris' and his offspring were also recorded as 'Harris'. | Harris, Peter (I27240)
|
| 3856 | The death register incorrectly records Geoffrey's date of birth as 12 March 1914. | Leyland, Geoffrey Douglas (I23317)
|

|
| 3867 | The exact date and place of birth for William is unclear. In the 1871 census he is declared as English but this probably relates to his birth parentage. On 17 July 1920, we find him returning to Canada from Detroit on health grounds. On the immigration document he claims to have been born in St Catherine's, Ontario and is aged 50. | Paradice, William (I20889)
|
| 3868 | The exact date is unknown but according to the 1901 census of Canada, Ernest arrived there around 1891. Into Place: British Columbia, Canada | Miller, Ernest George (I26865)
|
| 3869 | The exact dates are unknown but we know from the divorce of Frederick and Frances that the affair started in, or even before, 1873. Their son Frederick was born in April 1883 and that Rose was removed from Denham Lodge in 1884 as part of their agreement that Frederick would maintain the child. | Family F5640
|
| 3870 | The exact dates are unknown but we know that Leyland's relationship with Rose Caldecott had ended and that Annie Wooster's first son was born in September 1884. In 1891, Annie's boys were living in Broadstairs, Kent, in the house that Leyland had provided for them both to live in. | Family F4425
|
| 3871 | The exact identity of Catherine's parents is uncertain and this John and Margaret may not be correct. What we have established, (from Catherine's marriage record) is that her father was called John and that he was a Weaver. A weaver called John (and his wife, Margaret), attended the baptism of their daughter, Jane Mannington, in 1816 in Bishopsgate, London. Jane was born in the Workhouse. It is not unreasonable to assume that they are also Catherine's parents, even though no record of her birth is available to confirm. There is also a John and Margaret Manington in the 1841 census in Bethnal Green. They both appear to come from Ireland. | Family F6530
|
| 3872 | The exact location of Patrick's death is unknown. Patrick was serving in the Royal Air Force and his rank, at the time of his death, was Squadron Leader. | Festing-Smith, Patrick de Courcy (I15923)

| 3883 | The following "In Memoriam" was published in the Jericho Echo in the September 2008 issue. "Michael Broadway - Michael, who died in July, aged 76, was one of Jericho's many 'characters'. He was born in St. Barnabas Street in 1932 and never moved out of Jericho - his mother buying 19 Jericho St. for £112 in 1950. He went to St Barnabas school and then worked at the Taphouses music shop. At the age of 18 he joined the RAF but developed TB and was invalided out of the service, spending some time in the isolation Rivermead hospital. In 1955, at the age of 23, he was appointed organist at St Barnabas by Fr. Donald Nicholson, beginning a life-long love affair between Michael and the Church and choir - though he had a curious sort of detachment from its teachings and is reported to have said once: "We don't know anything more about God than about the quangle-wangle's hat!" Michael was an inspiring teacher of music for generations of choirboys. In the early days he started a club for them in the Institute and set up 'Friends of the Choir' to fund the poorer children. But he also inspired generations of people with a love of history and in particular of local history. The 'Oxford Past and Present' course at what is now the University's Department for Continuing Education was his baby. Michael was a bon vivant and an oenophile. Although he was often ill, he also had hidden reserves of energy - not least for waging war on 'the authorities' - including traffic wardens, police, and the management at the university. Michael's domestic life was never straightforward but he did all he could for his children. When they were younger their friends referred to him as the 'dad-cab' as he was always on call to collect them. He gave great support to his son, and was often at his daughter's bedside as she underwent one operation after another following a terrible accident. He lived just long enough to see the birth of his daughter's baby - his first grandchild. NB: Children's names have been removed to protect living person's privacy. | Broadway, Michael John (I10722)

|
| 3887 | The following is paraphrased from an email from Sheilah Bebbington, Isaac's great-granddaughter. ".... About 1896, Isaac left home one day and never returned. Although Louisa made extensive enquiries, she never found out what happened to him. His mates seemed to be of the opinion that he could not cope with a wife and 4 small children and ran away to sea. There are no records anywhere that I have found. (Isaac's wife) Louisa brought the children up and lived with (daughter) Harriet Elizabeth after her marriage. She moved up to Liverpool with them in the early 1920's, where she lived until her death in 1929." | Brimble, Isaac William (I5151)

| 3893 | The following Obituary appeared in "The Art Journal", in 1905. The death, on November 4th, of Mr. Valentine Cameron Prinsep, R.A., was no less unexpected than deeply deplored by hundreds who knew and respected him. Born in India, on February 14th, in the year 1838, he first exhibited at the Academy in 1862, was made an Associate in 1879, an Academician in 1894, and in 1900 became Professor of Painting; his predecessor and successor being respectively Professor von Herkomer and Mr. Clausen. Though he himself made no claims to greatness, Mr. Prinsep knew all the eminent British artists of his time, onward from Mulready - several of them intimately. In the eager days when, at Oxford, the Union was being decorated by those not yet called Pre-Raphaelites, he was happy with Rossetti and William Morris; at Gleyre's studio, in Paris, Sir Edward Poynter and Whistler were fellow-students; few, if any, knew Leighton so well as he; in old Little Holland House, as it was almost forty years ago, Watts lived with Mr. Prinsep's parents; he and Millais had much in common. Among the hundred treasures in the palatial red brick home of Mr. Prinsep in Holland Park Road - pictures, tapestries, objects of art, rare books - none was more highly prized than Millais' 'Eve of St Agnes,' 1863, which came third in the painter's own esteem, bought by Mr. Prinsep for 2,000 guineas at the Leyland dispersal, 1892. He married a daughter of Mr. Leyland, for whom Whistler painted the Peacock Room, and the purchase of the Leyland Boat Service by the Pierpont Morgan Trust is said to have considerably increased Mrs. Prinsep's fortune. Mr. Prinsep's fund of excellent stories, about all sorts of men and incidents and things, seemed quite inexhaustible. The Memorial Service in St. Paul's Cathedral was an outward mark of the esteem in which he was held. | Prinsep, Valentine Cameron (I17932)

| 3894 | The following obituary appeared in "The Telegraph" on 21 February 2003: Liliane de Rothschild, the Baroness Elie de Rothschild, who has died aged 86, was once said by her husband to be plus Rothschild que les Rothschilds; and it was true that she knew far more about his kinsmen than did he or most other members of the family, and that she was extremely knowledgeable about their extensive possessions, especially the works of art. Clever, sensible, resilient and humorous, Liliane de Rothschild had a good eye for pictures and a flair for design. When, in 1967, the old premises of the family bank in Paris, de Rothschild Frères, at 19 rue Laffitte, were demolished to make way for a modern, concrete structure, it was she, in collaboration with Michel Boyer, who supervised the interior decoration. She was also a guiding light in the decoration of the hotels and restaurants established by the French Rothschilds' enterprise PLM (an acronym deriving from two Rothschild railway companies which were merged in 1857, the Paris-Lyons and the Lyons-Méditerranée), of which Baron Elie was president. An example was the 812-room Hôtel Saint-Jacques, which opened in Paris in 1972. When, in the late 1950s, she and her husband moved into 11 rue Masseran, a Paris hotel built for Prince Masserano by Brongniart in 1785, Liliane de Rothschild decorated its interiors with a most effective mixture of Rothschild portraits and objets d'art, French furniture by the greatest 18th-century cabinetmakers, Old Master paintings and the 20th-century works of art that she and Baron Elie collected. She was born Liliane Elisabeth Victoire Fould-Springer on May 11 1916, the youngest of the four children of Baron Eugène Fould-Springer, descendant of Napoleon III's Finance Minister Achille Fould and a member of the European banking house Fould Oppenheim. Her mother Mitzi was only daughter and heiress of Baron Gustav Springer, the Austro-Hungarian industrial magnate. Liliane's father had started out in life as plain Monsieur Eugène Fould, but, shortly after to his engagement to Mitzi Springer, at the conclusion of an audience one day with Emperor Franz Josef, the Emperor bade him farewell with the words: "Auf wiedersehen, Baron Fould-Springer." According to her eldest sister Hélène ("Bubbles"), the name "Liliane" was chosen because her parents thought it pretty; "Elisabeth" was in honour of an aunt; and "Victoire" expressed the hope for victory over Germany in the Great War. The eldest of the children was Max, and the nearest in age to Liliane was Thérèse ("Poppy"), who would later marry Alan Pryce-Jones. The Fould-Springer children were brought up between the Palais Abbatial de Royaumont, near Chantilly, and an apartment at 54 avenue d'Iéna in Paris. The young Aline de Gunzbourg, who was later to marry Isaiah Berlin, lived in the same Paris apartment block, and became a lifelong friend of Liliane. The family would spend the summer in Vienna, moving in August to Hungary, where Baron Springer owned various properties; at one of these they went partridge shooting, at another the Baron kept his string of racehorses. In 1940, Liliane Fould-Springer left Royaumont with Bubbles and her husband, the Spanish diplomat Don Eduardo Propper de Callejon, to stay at Château de Charras, near Angoulême, with Dr Albert Metzl, director of a yeast factory established and owned by Baron Gustav Springer at Maison Alfort. From Charras they soon left for Spain, installing themselves at the Grand Hotel at Zaraus, the seaside town near the French border. There Liliane developed a large abscess on the end of her nose - which the local doctor thought might, if left untreated, affect her brain. No suitable drugs being available at Zaraus, Bubbles Propper, using her Spanish diplomatic passport, drove over the border to Biarritz for the necessary medication. She returned with it, and Liliane began to recover. When, later that year, Don Eduardo Propper was appointed First Secretary at the Spanish Embassy in Vichy, capital of the Unoccupied Zone of France, Bubbles rented a villa at nearby Cannes and took Liliane with her. In 1942 Liliane married her childhood sweetheart Elie de Rothschild, younger son of Baron Robert de Rothschild, a partner of de Rothschild Frères. The marriage took place by proxy, since Baron Elie was at the time a PoW at Colditz Castle, from where he had written to Liliane with his proposal. Liliane's mother (her father had by then died) was uneasy about her daughter taking the name Rothschild at a time when France was crawling with the Gestapo, but the marriage went ahead. Baron Elie gave his pledge at Colditz on October 7 1941; Liliane gave hers at Cannes Town Hall on April 7 1942, with a photograph of the groom on the table in front of her and an empty chair at her side. After the war, Elie and his elder brother Alain and their wives shared the house at 23 avenue de Marigny, where the brothers had grown up. The house, set in several acres of gardens a few yards away from the Elysée Palace, had been built by their grandfather, Baron Gustave de Rothschild, in 1885. Meanwhile, Baron Elie ran Château Lafite-Rothschild, the premier cru Pauillac vineyard in the Médoc. One post-war visitor to avenue de Marigny, Harold Acton, recalled how white-gloved footmen served the meals on "perfect Sévres with a separate vintage wine to accompany each course". Another frequent visitor, in the 1960s, was Cecil Beaton, who enjoyed the Rothschilds' hospitality while in Paris to work for French Vogue. Baron Elie and his wife also kept a house in London, near the Royal Hospital in Chelsea, where latterly they spent much of their time. In 1998, Liliane de Rothschild and her niece Elena Bonham-Carter (nee Propper de Callejon) published, privately, Bubbles Propper's memoirs, I Loved My Stay. Mme Propper had completed them, with the help of Fiona Shannon, three days before her death in June 1997. Liliane de Rothschild is survived by her husband, and by a son and two daughters. | Fould-Springer, Liliane Elisabeth Victoire (I17961)

| 3899 | The following obituary appeared in the Spectator and Methodist Chronicle: "Mrs. Cecilia Hordern was born at Nailsworth, Gloucestershire. England, on December 14th, 1834. She died at Auburn on December 8th, within a few days of her eigthieth birthday, She was the eldest child of the late William and Sarah Monger. With her parents, she left England in the ship "William Metcalf" in 1838, arriving in Sydney that same year. On April 1st of the following year, she came to Melbourne,being then five years of age. It will be seen that she was a colonist of 76 years' standing, and that she saw the beginnings of the capital city of this State. Indeed, the year of her birthday, 1834. was the vear of the first permanent settlement in Victoria, or as it was then called, the Port Phillip District. She was married to the late William Hordern at St. James's Old Cathedral, on 18th December 1852. From then until 1864 they lived at Alphington, where they built the first Methodist church on a corner of their own property, next to the Darebin Creek. For some years before this, they had been members of the Wesleyan Methodist Church. They removed in 1864 to Northcote, and in 1865 to George-street, Fitzroy. They moved again in 1866, this time to Russell-street, Melbourne, where they remained until 1869. During this period they attended Wesley Church, Mr. E. Whitehead, senior, being the superintendent of the Sunday school. From 1869 to 1870, they lived in Victoria Parade, attending the Brunswick-street Church. During the late Rev. John Watsford's pastorate, they were instrumental in getting the first parsonage erected in Victoria Parade. They came to Hawthorn in 1874 and here Mr. Hordern died on December 8th, 1881. He (William Hordern) was a member of the church in Burwood-road, and the leader of the Society Class. He was also a teacher in the Sunday school. He took his work in the church seriously, gave his best to it, and his death was felt as a great loss. Mrs. Hordern, too, was a Sunday school teacher. Twelve years ago' her (Cecilia) health failed. She was a great sufferer, but she manifested exemplary patience, and no one heard her complain. For some years before her death she was incapacitated from attending public services, but she never forgot her obligations to the Church, and contributed liberally to its support. She was generous in her benefactions to philanthropic institutions. She gave quietly and unostentatiously. She was always glad to receive a visit from an old friend, and to talk over old times. She manifested her pleasure in the reading of God's: word and in prayer. She was bright and sunny, in disposition, and delighted in showing hospitality. Those who knew her best esteemed her for her sincere and unaffected piety. What she was to the members of her own family circle they only can tell. God called her home on Tuesday, December 8th. 'The memory of the just is blessed.' | Monger, Cecilia (I2379)
