William Blizzard Williamson was born in Cork, Ireland in about 1812 (data from England and Wales Census).  The England and Wales census also names his wife as Elizabeth Williamson also born in Cork but in about 1818.  I do not yet know who were his parents – or who was his brother, the father of Thomas.

My Cousin Helen (from the Williamson side) has heard that William Blizzard Williamson’s youngest son, George Henry fought for the Conferates in the American Civil War (1861-1865).  George and Thomas’s ages make this a possible youthful activity – although given Thomas was born in New Jersey, one would have guessed that he (and his cousin) might have fought on the Union side.

American Civil War Records may give a route into finding WB Williamson’s parents.

The picture was taken at Tyne Cot in the 1920s by Marjorie Faulder, widow of Harold Faulder, and shows my father pointing out his father’s name.

A friend of the author saw the picture when I used it to illustrate a post on the Great War Forum and consequently Richard Van Emden approached me asking if he could use the image.  My brother and I agreed (almost two and a half years ago).

The book’s blurb reads:

At the end of the First World War more than 192,000 wives had lost their husbands, and nearly 400,000 children had lost their fathers. A further half a million children had lost one or more siblings. Appallingly, one in eight wives died within a year of receiving news of their husband’s death. Few people remained unscathed and the effects of the conflict are still with us.

The Quick and the Dead will pay tribute to the families who were left to suffer at home while their husband, fathers and sons went off to fight, and the generations that followed. Through the stories in this groundbreaking history, we realise not just what became of our grandfathers but how their experiences influenced the children, grandchildren and great grandchildren of a generation that they left at home. Against all the odds some stories ended happily – missing fathers did return, men thought to be dead returned from prisoner of war camps to a joyous reunion. For others the loss, while difficult to bear at the time, gave them an independence, drive and ambition that ensured that their lives were successful and a fitting tribute to those who died.

Very few people know that only the first minute’s silence on Armistice Day is in memory of the dead of the Great War and all the subsequent wars. The second minute is for the living, the survivors of the war, and the wives and the children they left behind. Through a unique collection of over fifty interviews, private diaries and a remarkable collection of unpublished letters written by the soldiers to their families back home, The Quick and the Dead is a history of those who are commonly forgotten and neglected when the fallen are remembered on Armistice Day.

Richard, who wrote Harry Patch’s biography (amongst other books) tells me that in places it will be powerful and revelatory.  It can be pre-ordered on Amazon.

Google in their attempt to “capture all information”, have been digitalising huge numbers of mainly out of copyright books (more than 5.2 million).  Now they have introduced a tool to try and analyse this corpus of data: Google NGrams.  This allows you to graph by date of publication the occurrence of a word (or even selection of words).

So for a genealogist, the logical thing to do is ego-surf – stick your own surname in the tool and see what comes out.

Google Ngram for 'Faulder'

Going to the actual data, you can search for the specific occurrences, to try and find an explanation for this graph.  Unfortunately the vertical axis is the percentage of books published in that year that have been digitalised, rather than the number of books in the corpus.  I suspect therefore that the peaks around 1800 may be misleadingly high due to the comparatively low number of books published around 1800 that have been digitalised.  However the activities of the publisher Robert Faulder may mean that this is a genuine indication.

Occurrences of the surname will not of course indicate mentions of members of our direct family but may give some clues for further research.

It is said that William Williamson, his wife Elizabeth and eldest son, William Blizzard (the younger, born in Cork in 1840), left Ireland due to “religious persecution”.  In England they appear to have been Church of England (and the men were probably Masons), so one might suppose that they had previously been Church of Ireland or possibly Presbyterian.  Whilst we do not know the exact cause of this persecution, at the time in Ireland a number of issues where prominent including campaigns against the tithe, against the Union (with Great Britain) and for Catholic Emancipation.  However, it may have been prejudice against tinkers – if the interpretation of “I tinman” is correct.

I have recently seen (Reader 1976, citing Williamson, G.E.) a reference to “The business founded before 1854 by a Plymouth Brother of obscure Irish antecedents, described by his grandson as ‘a Card’, …”. This opens up another explanation for “religious persecution”.  The Brethren had their origins in the late 1820s in Dublin and Cork (in Ireland) and in Plymouth, England  (where like-minded people were found in 1831).  The separation of Church and State, together with a desire for a purer form of worship seem to be behind the founding of the Brethren.

“John Nelson Darby (1800-1881), an aristocratic Church of Ireland clergyman … left that Church when his bishop insisted that converts Darby had made from Roman Catholicism should swear allegiance to the British Crown. Darby rejected this as unscriptural.” (BBC, 2009)

From the earliest days (even before the open/exclusive schism in 1848) , the Brethren seemed to be separatist (keeping apart from an immoral world).  It is therefore possible that someone described as ‘a Card’ might have been “withdrawn from” (expelled/shunned) by the Brethren – and this may be the source of “the persecution”.  Given the family’s later involvement in the packaging of tobacco I cannot imagine that he was persecuted because of adherence to Brethren principles.

There are indications that he arrived in Worcester around 1855 (the family has not been found in the 1851 Census).  An Open University Assignment (Cannings-Bushell, 2000) reports:

William Blizzard Williamson who came from Wolverhampton and set up next to the canal at Lowesmoor around 1855 making milk churns, baths, domestic metalware and cash boxes, etc.

The Providence Works was established in 1858 in Providence Street filling the block to Charles Street where offices where built.  Whilst the works is no more, the offices still exist (as Williamson House) with stonework above the entrance proclaiming “Williamson & Sons Established 1858″.

Williamson & Sons Advertisement (from gracesguide.co.uk - permitted copy)

The 1861 Census shows the family at Sedbury Street in Worcester; William the elder, wife Elizabeth, sons William the younger and George, a nephew Thomas and a boarder Joseph Morgan.  William is listed as a tinplate manufacturer employing 3 men and 4 boys.  All the other men are listed as tinplate workers.  It is probable (based on later census records) that William’s and George’s ages were transposed.   The nephew Thomas is listed as born in New Jersey, USA.

William Blizzard (the elder) died in 1878 (at Worcester) and the two sons William Blizzard (the younger) and George Henry took on the company until 1890 when William left the company, and the business became G.H. Williamson & Sons. In 1930 the company merged with Metal Box, George Henry having died in 1918 and his (only) son George Evans having continued as a director. George Evans qualified as a barrister prior to the Great War (in which he served according to the Worcester Masonic Lodge’s Roll of Honour) and lived in Wimbledon; however in 1928 a patent was filed in the names of; Williamson & Sons. Ltd., G., H., Valor Co., Ltd., and Williamson, G. E. which would imply that he was taking an active part in the business. In 1931, Metal Box opened its Perry Wood site (with its entrance now on Williamson Road, Worcester), to make food cans; it is still in operation today, although the Metal Box packaging business is now part of Crown (see diagram below).  The Providence works, continued (making items such as the decorated kitchen tinware known as Worcester Ware)  closing in the 1960′s and there is now a telephone exchange on the site.

It is possible that George Evans Williamson was a long serving director of Metal Box. A history of Novar, one of Metal Boxes successor companies (Reference For Business, 2010), in discussing Metal Box in the 1930s reports:

Barlow was now the head of Britain’s canning monopoly and determined to make it even larger. But his aggressive managerial style alienated most of the old family leaders of the group’s companies, and many resigned from the board of directors. Barlow wanted to bring all member companies under one authority and ignored those on the board who opposed him. He set up an executive committee with two others, Hepworth and Crabtree, to make policy decisions and, essentially, to circumvent the board.

In 1931 Barlow’s committee instituted a single accounting system for all member companies in an attempt to force some kind of uniformity on them under a newly created head office. The managing director of Barclay & Fry tried to have Barlow fired, but Barlow called a meeting of the entire board and convinced them that his plan would make the company stronger still. As Barlow consolidated his position he banished some of his detractors to plants in South Africa and demanded the resignations of others. By 1935 he was in complete control …

We know George Evans Williamson was in South Africa in the mid and late 1940′s, so it is possible that he was one of the exiles. The History of Metal Box (Reader 1976) confirms that he was.  (Update to follow)

The Williamsons or their businesses were granted a number of patents including:

• GB Patent 13261 Improvements in Boxes or Cases for Storing Articles of Food … (to William, the younger) – tins relying on a screw or bayonet fitting to pull a conically sectioned lid onto a similarly section tin lip. (in author’s possession)
• The “Lever-lid” tin (to William, the younger) – paint tins that you lever open with a screw-driver (Worcester People & Places, 2010a)
• The “Cutter-lid” tin (to George Henry) – used for tobacco and cigarettes (Worcester People & Places, 2010a)
• GB Patent 170219 Improvements in kettles for domestic use (to G.H. Williamson & Sons and Richard Saville Thomas – George Henry’s son-in-law) – kettles with detachable handles which can be stored inside the kettle (WikiPatents, 1921)
• GB Patent 320173 Improvements relating to the nozzles of oil, petrol and like drums or containers (G.H. Williamson & Sons. Ltd., Valor Co., Ltd., and George Evans Williamson) – to provide an improved construction of nozzle made from sheet metal and adapted to receive the usual screw closure cap and seal and also for the attachment of a pump. (WikiPatents, 1929)

Apart from their tin-making, both the second generation brothers were elected Mayor of Worcester (William, the younger in 1883 and George Henry, in 1893).   The Worcester People & Places website also reports that George Henry Williamson was chairman of the Streets Committee and was responsible for the widening and remodelling of many of the cities streets. (Worcester People & Places, 2010b) He was also the Conservative Candidate in the notorious 1906 General Election, when he was disqualified following allegations concerning bribing the electorate (see separate story).

William Willett (the elder) was born in Colchester in about 1837. His father Everard was a Vitular and his mother, Maria (who was Everard’s second wife) was an Innkeeper after being widowed in 1845. The 1851 Census shows that William was an apprentice stonemason living (with his mother and siblings*) at the Queens Head Inn, Hythe St, Colchester. *Siblings were an elder brother, John, a younger sister, Maria, and a probable step-sister, Sarah.

By the time of the 1861 Census he was a builder living at 261 Marylebone Road, London and gave his occupation as ‘Builder’ – He already owned a statutory company employing 7 men and 2 boys.  In 1871 he was living at 8 Prince Consort Road, Hampstead.  Prince Consort Road (later Belsize Crescent) was one of his developments. In 1881 he was in Hove at 1 Eaton Gardens (another Willett development – now part of the Willett Estate conservation area).  In later Censuses he was at 64 The Drive, Hove (still in the Willett Estate), where he died in 1913.

The web-site british-history.ac.uk details a number of places that he and his eldest son, William, developed in London. I have plotted these on a Google Map (click on the blue felt-tip-like lines to see details). They made a habit of building high quality houses in areas that were, or would become, viewed as quality areas such as:

• Belsize Park
• Sloane Square
• Kensington Palace Gardens
• Grosvenor Square

Later they would build outside London, particularly in Chislehurst in Kent and Hove in Sussex.

Although most of the houses were speculatively built, they were built to a high standard usually using in-house architects (such as Harry Measures and Amos Faulkner).  The Willetts often built with red brick (made at the company’s brick works at Acton Vale) in a decorative style with features such as bay windows and ornate detailing.  Much emphasis was put on ensuring that light could get into all rooms (including basement rooms).  “Willett built” became a by-word for quality.

The company is no longer independent; the diagram below attempts to show where it has ended up (as at 2010).

Faulder and associated families: marriages around the 18th and 19th Centuries

• William Willett (the  younger of daylight saving fame, 1856-1915) had two wives:
  • Maria Mills (b 1858, m 1879, d 1905)
    • Maria was the daughter of William Mills and Susannah Willett (b ~1834), herself the daughter of a Joseph Willett (b ~1797)
  • Florence Mary Anne Strickland (b 1884, m 1910, d 1957)
• William himself was the eldest son of William Willett (the elder – founder of the eponymous building company)
  • William Willett (the elder 1837-1913, who married Maria Box in 1856) was the son of an Everard Willett (a Vitular ~1804-1845) and his second wife Maria (b 1803, m 1833, d 1851)
• William (the younger) had a first cousin Charles Willett (b ~1868) – who married a Florence Maud Willett (b 1863, m 1897 – who appears to be a half first cousin)
• Florence Maud’s parents were Everard Willett (b 1829) and Sarah Ann Willett (b 1830, m 1853)
  • Sarah Ann is the daughter of Everard Willett (the Vitular b ~1804) and his first wife Sarah (m ~1830)
  • Everard (b 1829) was the eldest son of Joseph Willett (b~1797) and a brother of Susannah (b 1834)
• No relationship has yet been found between Joseph Willett and Everard Willett (the Vitular b ~1804) although both lived in Colchester.

Diagrammatically this may be summarised as below

It is also not known if Charles Inchbald Radford is related to Elizabeth E J Radford.

The Willett family is said to have originally been a Huguenot family.

HDS Faulder WW2 or shortly afterwards

Harold Dick Sewell Faulder (1918-2005) was my father.  I am currently trying to write up his life and am posting an outline that may provoke others to contribute.

Summary

• He was born 5 July 1918, ten week after his father, Harold Faulder was killed in action near Ypres.
• One of his Godfathers, is said to have been Cosmo Lang, then Archbishop of York – later of Canterbury.  When later at School he was asked how you would open a letter to the Archbishop of Canterbury, he replied “Dear Godfather,”.  The link with Lang is not understood; however Lang was born in Fyvie near Aberdeen- from where the Lendrums came.
• He was brought up in London by his mother but was sent at an early stage to St Andrews School, East Grinstead, Sussex.  It is believed this happened after intervention by his uncles – George Bertrum (Bert) and Ronald Sewell (Ron) Faulder.
• He seems to have been reasonably successful there both academically and athletically.
• He was sent to his father’s school, Marlborough College in Lent 1932, leaving in Summer 1937.
• He was absent from School for the Michaelmas term 1933.  Around this time he was known to have had an emergency operation to remove his spleen after he fell through a pier whilst on holiday.
• He was fairly successful academically usually no lower than 5th in class.  He left the Maths upper 6th in 2nd place as an exhibitioner (presumably to university).  (Information from College Archivist)
• He went to Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, initially to read Maths, but changed to Engineering (no further details are yet forthcoming from their archives).
• When he graduated he was offered two (relatively blind) alternatives:
  • Go to somewhere called Bletchley Park – which would probably mainly use his maths
  • Go to somewhere near Swanage – which would probably use his engineering
  • (The services were not offered – probably a combination of health problems following the removal of his spleen and the desperate need for scientists)
• He chose to go to Swanage and joined TRE (Telecommunications Research Establishment) which was the radar research organisation.  As a Junior Scientific Officer he worked at Leeson House alongside Bernard Lovell, then a Scientific Officer (later the Astronomer Royal, Sir Bernard Lovell OBE FRS).
• During this time he worked on 3cm ASV (Air to Surface Vessel) radar and therefore probably met William Basil Willett who was one of the RN officers responsible for the evaluation of this technology.  (The Willetts also had another link to radar as Herbert William Mills Willett married Mary Tizard. She was the sister of Henry Tizard, the Chairman of the World War Two Tizard Committee, who was sent by Churchill to America with our radar secrets – particularly the magnetron – to trade for the technical assistance of the United States).
• After a British commando raid (The Bruneval Raid) on a German Radar establishment near the French coast, it was thought wise to relocate TRE from Swanage to Malvern (taking over Malvern College).
• Around the end of the war he was attached to the RAF (Special Duties) at Martlesham.  During this time he:
  • Went to the Far East (presumably before 2nd September 1945) in a Lancaster.  Technically this made him eligible for the Burma Star, but having seen the men coming out of Changi, he felt he could not apply for the medal.
  • Went to Germany to bring back one of the Luftwaffe’s yachts (The “Windfall Yachts” – possibly the Kingfisher) which was being taken as part of war reparations.
• From Martlesham he moved to the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) at Farnborough and spent the most of the rest of his career at the Fleet outpost of RAE, until he retired in 1978.
• He was extremely secretive about his work, having signed the Official Secrets Act.  From knowing some of the places that he went to on business (e.g. Smiths at Cheltenham and the Aberporth Ranges), we can guess that he worked on missile guidance.  He was also believed to be involved in the unit responsible for further development of Blind Landing Systems.
• He married Elizabeth Willett (2nd cousin of William Basil Willett) in 1957 and had two sons , David and Roger.
• After retiring he took up canoeing and became (semi-professionally) a qualified canoeing and sailing instructor.  In the 1980s he broke his leg whilst kayaking a (grade 4) white water river in Devon and end up in Exeter and Devon Hospital (This was during the ambulance strike which would date the event as 1989 and my father as 71.  Fortunately his canoe club managed to get him home.)
• He died on Christmas Day 2005 following a struggle with Motor Neurone Disease.

Family of Robert Fell at Somerville, Huddersfield

I came across a photograph believed to be of the Fell Family. A count of the people was consistent with Robert Fell and his wife Martha (née Keighley) and their children and the spouses of those children.  Three faces have been pasted (old fashioned scissors and paste!) into the picture – the two characters directly behind Robert Fell and another standing at the back on the left.

The Census records for 1881/91/1901 indicate that the family lived at Somerville, 4 Hungerford Road, Lindley/Lockwood – a northern suburb of Huddersfield – just off the Halifax Road.  The description of the house (particularly the front entrance) in the Kirklees Council proposal for the Huddersfield Conservation Area matched the photograph.  A visit to the are then confirmed that this photograph is of Somerville.

I was then contacted by Don Hughes in Canada. He is the Great Grandson of Frederick Keighley Fell and thus a third cousin.  Frederick Fell is one of Robert Fell’s children and is believed to have emigrated in 1899 to Quebec.  After Don and I had established that we were related he then sent me a photograph asking me if I could identify it.  It was from the same negative as the photograph at the top of this item.

However we are struggling to positively identify everyone in the photograph.  The 20 September 1904 would have been Robert and Martha’s Golden Wedding anniversary.  We are reasonably confident that the central characters are Robert and Martha Fell.  From another photograph from Don, Frederick and his wife Catherine Graham are probably the pasted in figures behind Robert Fell – they are unlikely to have returned from Canada for the anniversary celebrations.

We might assume that the other characters seated at the front are the two eldest children:

• Elizabeth (my Great Grandmother – between her father and her husband Robert Henry Lendrum) on the left
• John Charles (between his mother and his wife Susanna Hodgson) on the right

After that it is pretty much guess work based on knowledge of the couples and their ages.

• Daughter Elizabeth (b 1856) and her husband Robert Henry Lendrum (b 1859)
• Son John Charles (b 1857) and his wife Susanna Hodgson (b 1872)
• Son Henry (b 1859) and his wife Helen Shelly Gillies (b 1861)
• Son Herbert (b 1860)
• Son Sidney (b1861) and his wife Kathleen Crowther (b 1865)
• Son Frederick Keighley (b 1864) and his wife Catherine Louisa Graham (b 1872) – in Canada
• Daughter Mary Emmeline (b 1865)
• Daughter Edith Martha (b 1867) and her husband Harold Crowther (b 1866)
• Daughter Annie Florence (b 1869) and her husband Dr Robert Bakewell (n/a)
• Daughter Fanny Florence (b 1872)
• Son Robert Fell (b 1874) – married much later

Somerville, Hungerford Road, Huddersfield in 2008

Believed to Be Thomas Clark

Photos (together with reverses to aid locating & dating) in the Album originally owned by Tom Clark (now in care of Liz Clark*). Families likely to be Clark, Pearson, Faulder, Sewell. In addition other names (e.g. Telford, Pattinson, James) linked to the family appear in the album.

* Liz Clark is descended from Isabella, William Faulder (of Brisco)’s 2nd daughter – who married a Thomas Clark. After Isabella was widowed she kept house for Thomas Faulder, William Faulder’s 2nd son (No1 died young). It is likely that Thomas Faulder inherited most of William Faulder’s documents and Isabella then inherited from Thomas Faulder.

Included in these photos may be the oldest photos we have of “our” branch of the Faulder Family. There are also photos from William’s half family (from his mother Catherine Blaylock’s 1st marriage to a Robert Faulder).

Liz Clark & I have agreed to make this album public so that it shows in Google Search and others can help with identifications. Thanks to Liz for lending this album to me at 1st meeting! Also to Eleanor Hodgson for many identifications. DSF
