On Tuesday last, at Calder House, near Garstang, Mary, relict of the late Mr. Richard Jackson, in the 76th year of her age. She was a most worthy and consistent member of the Society of Friends, evidencing by her benevolence and kindly charater a true Christian spirit. The poor in her immediate neighbourhood ever found in her a friend in time of need. By them, as well as by her endeared relatives, her absence will be severely felt.

From the national archive site
(Sarah Wilcockson from Preston MM to Heartshaw 1 Aug 1797, and letter indicating return of certificate on her return to Preston, 16 Jan 1798 FRP18/7/10
Had a look at this at Preston Record Office -
There is nothing to convey that special feeling when you actually hold in your hand something you know was of someone on your tree, so even though I transcribe the information contained I would recommend that if you get the chance go and hold this single piece of paper - that was so important to them, even the feel of the paper is different though I suppose handling should be kept to a minimum and marvel at how it has survived. We may see digital images of documents online, for which I am greatful, but something has been lost in the process. & used in the following indicates a symbol used in the text to convey "and" - I love the way they abbreviated.

Sarah Wilcockson, servant, to Hardshaw FRP11/52 1 Aug 1797)
Hardshaw - covers Liverpool and Manchester. I have not looked at the actual documents. Now that I have looked at the document it looks like she went to Warrington.
In 1797 Sarah would have been 16.
(clue from the pink book, that she married Cuthbert Meadows)
from image on ancestry.co.uk
Lancaster St Mary
23 Oct 1811
Cuthbert Meadows of Preston in the parish of Preston currier, widow and Sarah Wilcockson of this town and parish, spinster married by licence
witnesses
Samuel Dean
Elizabeth Dodgson
Sarah would have been 30 at the time of this marriage.
The family of Cuthbert Meadows
This may or may not be the Cuthbert Meadows that Sarah married, but we do know he was a currier, had been married before and in 1811 was living in Preston.
from UK Register of duties paid for apprentices Indentures (ancestry)
Robt Park, Preston currier paid for two apprentices Cuthbert Meadows and Heny Almond on Monday 27 Aug 1804. But from the Lancaster Gazette April 12 1806 Robert Park currier of Preston appears to be ceasing business. Now the Satterthwaite family in Preston were involved in the currier business.
from Lancs OPC site :
St Leonard, Walton le Dale
(about 2 miles south of Preston)
16 April 1807
marriage of Cuthbert Meadows and Mary King
Preston St John
1 May 1808 born 14 Mar. Thomas Meadows
son of Cuthbert Meadows and Mary
20 Aug 1809 born 25 Jun. Ellen Meadows
dau. of Cuthbert Meadows and Mary
St Leonard, Walton le Dale
burial July 15 1810 Mary daughter of Cuthbert and Mary Meadows
burial 30 Dec 1810 Mary Meadows wife of Cuthbert Meadows
If this is the correct family it would seem Sarah became stepmother to Thomas age 3 and Ellen age 2.
Thomas Meadows born Preston can be found on the census but there is nothing to suggest contact. Also the children may have been taken by the mothers family.
I have not found out when Cuthbert Meadows died, but from Sarah's next marriage he must have died before March 1818.
The pink book says there was no issue from this marriage.
..................................................................................
Sarah then turns up in BLACKBURN.
(I can't find the reference for this but I think Sarah Meadows and Thomas Brown both appeared in a Blackburn directory, so she was living in Blackburn before she married Thomas - did she move to Blackburn with Cuthbert? did she move there after Cuthbert's death? (found it - on ancestry : The Commercial directory 1816-1817 Blackburn - Flour & dealers Thomas Brown Darwen street, Sarah Meadows Church street, under Grocers Thomas Brown Darwen street and under Confectioners Sarah Meadows) and there is a mystery about J. Wilcockson, Blackburn - could this be James or John was this one of her brothers?

witnesses
James L Fish
Wm Haydock
Sarah would have been 37 at the time of this marriage.
The family of Thomas Brown.
So again Sarah was marrying a widow.
From census images later, Sarah's daughter had a Brown neice living with her which suggested she had a brother or half brother. Also all these Brown children were baptized at the same chapel.

Hannah Brown c. 13 Feb 1812 b. 13 Feb 1812
(all these were the children of Thomas and Hannah)
Betty Brown c. 27 Dec 1821 BORN ?Sep 1818
Lancs OPC has parents Thomas and Hannah
but looking at the image it looks more like Thomas and Sarah. The day given as 5th on Lancs OPC, off the image could be 18 or 16 or 6 or 5.
As Thomas and Sarah married March 1818, it looks like Sarah was expecting when she married or else Betty was premature. Also the late christening.
(In the Quaker records there are often recorded the children of parents not in membership or unity, I haven't figured out yet why some children are thus recorded and others not. It also confuses me as to why some people are buried in Quaker grounds when they are not in unity.)
Sarah Brown c. 18 Jul 1822 b. 7 Mar 1822, Blackburn, Thomas and Sarah
Sarah was age 41 when she had daughter Sarah.
Sarah's father David was still alive.
So from the point of view of Wilcockson research the two we are interested in are Betty (Elizabeth) and Sarah. This fits in with information from the pink book.
I have not found a suitable death for Thomas Brown husband of Sarah.
Preston Chronicle
Feb 20 1841
On Saturday last, at Calder-bridge, near Garstang, Mrs Sarah Brown, widow of the late Mr. Thomas Brown, of Blackburn, and second daughter of the late Mr. David Wilcockson, of this town, in the 61st year of her age.
(so we know neither Sarah nor Thomas will be on the 1841 census)
Note to self about Garstang. There seems to have been a group of Quakers settling in Garstang, I read in one book that it was not as developed there as the nearby Preston and Lancaster and kept more old fashioned. Need to look at Quakers living in Garstang in 1841 census. Think maybe sister Mary married to Richard Jackson????)

Thomas Nuttall
There is quite a bit of information online about this Thomas Nuttall. If he had married and had children Francis Dixon would not have inherited Nutgrove hall. Thomas Nuttall's obit in The Settle Chronicle and North Ribblesdale Advertiser Jan 1 1861 is online at www.longpreston heritage.org.uk , (where information was supplied by Thomas Nuttall's nephew Mr T J Booth. Thomas b. 1786 of humble parentage, Long Preston, Craven, West Yorkshire. His father died when he was 12, the family nearly in poverty. He had two younger sisters. At 14 indentured for 7 years to book-printing paternal uncle Jonas Nuttall Esq of Liverpool. He became interested in science largely self-taught specifically botany. He went to the USA in 1808) more information on his exploits in America can be found online, www.encyclopedia of arkansas.net where we are told Thomas's parents were James Nuttall and Margaret Hardacre Jan 5 1786, he had sisters Susan (Susannah) and Elizabeth. That he never married and had no children. On google books we find reference to a book about him - Thomas Nuttall naturalist explorations in America 1808-1841 by Jeannette E. Graustein 1967. He is more remembered in America it seems. He came back to England when he inherited his uncle Jonas's estate (I think because it was a condition that he lived at Nutgrove hall). From encyclopedia.com Thomas was a lecturer in natural history at Harvard for 11 years.
Jonas Nuttall ( think Fisher apprentice came up with idea of selling books in parts so poorer people could buy them, came up with marketing policy still used today - partnership in Liverpool before then was in Blackburn need to look at dates to see - wonder if Isaac Wilcockson knew him? When Jonas retired he moved to Nut Grove and built new house there, married had children? died? built Methodist Chapel there, maybe link to Chapel in Blackburn?? Did the Nuttalls and Browns know one another at Chapel??)
Lancaster Gazette Nov 28 1818
On the 20th inst. aged 55, Mr Francis Dixon, late of the firm of Nuttall, Fisher, and Dixon, Caxton printing-office, Liverpool (grandfather of Francis Dixon who married Elizabeth Brown?)
Lancaster Gazette Oct 5 1822
On the 21st inst. suddenly, at Dublin, in his 31st year, Mr. Richard Dixon, of Burnley, son of the late Mr. Francis Dixon, of the late firm of Nuttall, Fisher, and Dixon of Liverpool. (father of Francis Dixon who married Elizabeth Brown)
Francis Dixon
www.suttonbeauty.org.uk has the history of glassmaking in Sutton. You will find much interesting info including Francis. At one point he became bankrupt - there was an expensive court case but then he started up another business this may have been because he had income from the estate - farm rents and money from mines?? gleaned from newspaper.

(Sarah Wilcockson from Preston MM to Heartshaw 1 Aug 1797, and letter indicating return of certificate on her return to Preston, 16 Jan 1798 FRP18/7/10
Had a look at this at Preston Record Office -
There is nothing to convey that special feeling when you actually hold in your hand something you know was of someone on your tree, so even though I transcribe the information contained I would recommend that if you get the chance go and hold this single piece of paper - that was so important to them, even the feel of the paper is different though I suppose handling should be kept to a minimum and marvel at how it has survived. We may see digital images of documents online, for which I am greatful, but something has been lost in the process. & used in the following indicates a symbol used in the text to convey "and" - I love the way they abbreviated.

Sarah Wilcockson, servant, to Hardshaw FRP11/52 1 Aug 1797)
Hardshaw - covers Liverpool and Manchester. I have not looked at the actual documents. Now that I have looked at the document it looks like she went to Warrington.
In 1797 Sarah would have been 16.
(clue from the pink book, that she married Cuthbert Meadows)
from image on ancestry.co.uk
Lancaster St Mary
23 Oct 1811
Cuthbert Meadows of Preston in the parish of Preston currier, widow and Sarah Wilcockson of this town and parish, spinster married by licence
witnesses
Samuel Dean
Elizabeth Dodgson
Sarah would have been 30 at the time of this marriage.
The family of Cuthbert Meadows
This may or may not be the Cuthbert Meadows that Sarah married, but we do know he was a currier, had been married before and in 1811 was living in Preston.
from UK Register of duties paid for apprentices Indentures (ancestry)
Robt Park, Preston currier paid for two apprentices Cuthbert Meadows and Heny Almond on Monday 27 Aug 1804. But from the Lancaster Gazette April 12 1806 Robert Park currier of Preston appears to be ceasing business. Now the Satterthwaite family in Preston were involved in the currier business.
from Lancs OPC site :
St Leonard, Walton le Dale
(about 2 miles south of Preston)
16 April 1807
marriage of Cuthbert Meadows and Mary King
Preston St John
1 May 1808 born 14 Mar. Thomas Meadows
son of Cuthbert Meadows and Mary
20 Aug 1809 born 25 Jun. Ellen Meadows
dau. of Cuthbert Meadows and Mary
St Leonard, Walton le Dale
burial July 15 1810 Mary daughter of Cuthbert and Mary Meadows
burial 30 Dec 1810 Mary Meadows wife of Cuthbert Meadows
If this is the correct family it would seem Sarah became stepmother to Thomas age 3 and Ellen age 2.
Thomas Meadows born Preston can be found on the census but there is nothing to suggest contact. Also the children may have been taken by the mothers family.
I have not found out when Cuthbert Meadows died, but from Sarah's next marriage he must have died before March 1818.
The pink book says there was no issue from this marriage.
..................................................................................
Sarah then turns up in BLACKBURN.
(I can't find the reference for this but I think Sarah Meadows and Thomas Brown both appeared in a Blackburn directory, so she was living in Blackburn before she married Thomas - did she move to Blackburn with Cuthbert? did she move there after Cuthbert's death? (found it - on ancestry : The Commercial directory 1816-1817 Blackburn - Flour & dealers Thomas Brown Darwen street, Sarah Meadows Church street, under Grocers Thomas Brown Darwen street and under Confectioners Sarah Meadows) and there is a mystery about J. Wilcockson, Blackburn - could this be James or John was this one of her brothers?

Sarah Meadows, widow of Blackburn
witnesses
James L Fish
Wm Haydock
Sarah would have been 37 at the time of this marriage.
The family of Thomas Brown.
So again Sarah was marrying a widow.
From census images later, Sarah's daughter had a Brown neice living with her which suggested she had a brother or half brother. Also all these Brown children were baptized at the same chapel.

(all these were the children of Thomas and Hannah)
Betty Brown c. 27 Dec 1821 BORN ?Sep 1818
Lancs OPC has parents Thomas and Hannah
but looking at the image it looks more like Thomas and Sarah. The day given as 5th on Lancs OPC, off the image could be 18 or 16 or 6 or 5.
As Thomas and Sarah married March 1818, it looks like Sarah was expecting when she married or else Betty was premature. Also the late christening.
(In the Quaker records there are often recorded the children of parents not in membership or unity, I haven't figured out yet why some children are thus recorded and others not. It also confuses me as to why some people are buried in Quaker grounds when they are not in unity.)
Sarah Brown c. 18 Jul 1822 b. 7 Mar 1822, Blackburn, Thomas and Sarah
Sarah was age 41 when she had daughter Sarah.
Sarah's father David was still alive.
So from the point of view of Wilcockson research the two we are interested in are Betty (Elizabeth) and Sarah. This fits in with information from the pink book.
I have not found a suitable death for Thomas Brown husband of Sarah.
Preston Chronicle
Feb 20 1841
On Saturday last, at Calder-bridge, near Garstang, Mrs Sarah Brown, widow of the late Mr. Thomas Brown, of Blackburn, and second daughter of the late Mr. David Wilcockson, of this town, in the 61st year of her age.
(so we know neither Sarah nor Thomas will be on the 1841 census)
Note to self about Garstang. There seems to have been a group of Quakers settling in Garstang, I read in one book that it was not as developed there as the nearby Preston and Lancaster and kept more old fashioned. Need to look at Quakers living in Garstang in 1841 census. Think maybe sister Mary married to Richard Jackson????)

Thomas Nuttall
There is quite a bit of information online about this Thomas Nuttall. If he had married and had children Francis Dixon would not have inherited Nutgrove hall. Thomas Nuttall's obit in The Settle Chronicle and North Ribblesdale Advertiser Jan 1 1861 is online at www.longpreston heritage.org.uk , (where information was supplied by Thomas Nuttall's nephew Mr T J Booth. Thomas b. 1786 of humble parentage, Long Preston, Craven, West Yorkshire. His father died when he was 12, the family nearly in poverty. He had two younger sisters. At 14 indentured for 7 years to book-printing paternal uncle Jonas Nuttall Esq of Liverpool. He became interested in science largely self-taught specifically botany. He went to the USA in 1808) more information on his exploits in America can be found online, www.encyclopedia of arkansas.net where we are told Thomas's parents were James Nuttall and Margaret Hardacre Jan 5 1786, he had sisters Susan (Susannah) and Elizabeth. That he never married and had no children. On google books we find reference to a book about him - Thomas Nuttall naturalist explorations in America 1808-1841 by Jeannette E. Graustein 1967. He is more remembered in America it seems. He came back to England when he inherited his uncle Jonas's estate (I think because it was a condition that he lived at Nutgrove hall). From encyclopedia.com Thomas was a lecturer in natural history at Harvard for 11 years.
Jonas Nuttall ( think Fisher apprentice came up with idea of selling books in parts so poorer people could buy them, came up with marketing policy still used today - partnership in Liverpool before then was in Blackburn need to look at dates to see - wonder if Isaac Wilcockson knew him? When Jonas retired he moved to Nut Grove and built new house there, married had children? died? built Methodist Chapel there, maybe link to Chapel in Blackburn?? Did the Nuttalls and Browns know one another at Chapel??)
Lancaster Gazette Nov 28 1818
On the 20th inst. aged 55, Mr Francis Dixon, late of the firm of Nuttall, Fisher, and Dixon, Caxton printing-office, Liverpool (grandfather of Francis Dixon who married Elizabeth Brown?)
Lancaster Gazette Oct 5 1822
On the 21st inst. suddenly, at Dublin, in his 31st year, Mr. Richard Dixon, of Burnley, son of the late Mr. Francis Dixon, of the late firm of Nuttall, Fisher, and Dixon of Liverpool. (father of Francis Dixon who married Elizabeth Brown)
Francis Dixon
www.suttonbeauty.org.uk has the history of glassmaking in Sutton. You will find much interesting info including Francis. At one point he became bankrupt - there was an expensive court case but then he started up another business this may have been because he had income from the estate - farm rents and money from mines?? gleaned from newspaper.

..........................................................................
What did being a coach proprietor mean? I'd like to think that John Wilcockson was a coach driver dashing along. However, Richard suggested to me that there might have been two John Wilcocksons. John followed his father into the hat industry but then became coach proprietor on the census. Why?
So I have been looking at newspaper references to coach drivers in the Preston newspapers. I think coach drivers were well known characters. From general books I get the impression that they had a bit of the same appeal to boys as the later steam train drivers.
Preston Chronicle Sept 6 1834
On Monday last, aged 5 years and 8 months, Edward, the eldest son of Mr. James Newsham, of Avenham Road, coach proprietor.
and an article in the same paper
MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT - On Saturday morning last, Edward Newsham, a fine boy between five and six years of age, son of Mr. Newsham, coach driver, Avenham-street, was so dreadfully burned by his clothes catching fire, that he died on Monday. The deceased and some other children had got a turnip which they hollowed out as a lantern, and the deceased was carrying it away, having lighted a bit of candle in it, when his clothes took fire. Every possible assistance was given by those in the house, as soon as the accident became known, but the poor little fellow was so dreadfully injured in the neck and body before the flames could be extinguished, that, after two days suffering he expired.
I know this does not prove that our John was a coach driver but it shows a possibility that he might have been. Also so sad about little Edward, there are many articles about children being burnt.
Other articles show the respect accorded to coach drivers.
Preston Chronicle Sept 21 1844
On Saturday last, in the 38th year of his age, after a few days' illness, Mr. Edward Davis, of this town, who was for many years coach driver between Preston and Liverpool, and latterly between Blackburn and Blackpool.

Edward Davis 30 Coach Driver, Dale St father Joshua farmer deceased
Ellen Langton 30 of Fishergate father James tallow chandler deceased
witnesses : John Hull, Matilda Wilcockson, Sarah Wilcockson
Matilda was married to the mysterious William, and she was definitely known to our John although we have not yet worked out the relationship. Sarah probably her daughter. I wonder if Edward drove the coaches for John. Or if they were friends of Ellen. For information only 1851 Ellen Davis age 39 widow dressmaker born Longridge Lancs, living at 91 Lancaster Rd, Preston with son Joshua 6 and lodgers.
The Preston Guardian Aug 23 1856
On the 14th inst at Ambleside, after a short illness Mr. Joseph Bell, aged 50. The deceased was coach driver in the lake district for many years, but will be kindly and better remembered by many residents of the neighbourhood as the driver for a long time of the "round-about" coach (Messrs. Dunn and Pritt's) between Ulverston and Lancaster. Previous to that for some years he was known as one of the best whips on the Lancaster and Liverpool road.
March 30 1867

THUNDER-STORM
PRESTON- Notwithstanding the violence of the storm, and the terrific character of the thunder and lightning which occurred yesterday week, we have not heard of any very serious result in this town. Between eight and nine o'clock in the evening, the house of Mr. John Wilcockson, coach proprietor, of Peel-hall Farm, near the House of Recovery, was struck by the electric fluid. It entered the chimney, and then forced its way through the wall into a ground floor apartment, where it tore the mantle-piece from the wall, shattered the chimney ornaments, and caused some other trifling damage. The kitchen door being fortunately open, the destructive element passed out through it without doing further injury. Mrs. Wilcockson and her niece were in the kitchen at the time the lightning passed through, but it providentially passed between them.

The mysterious death in Severn Street
Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Hawkes (coroner) held on adjourned inquest, at his court, Moor Street, on the body of a man who died at 15, Severn Street - a house of ill fame - on the 2nd inst. under somewhat mysterious circumstances - Since the adjournment of the inquest the police had succeeded in obtaining information as to the identity of the deceased. Mr. Crockford watched the case on behalf of deceased's relatives, and Mr. Cheston appeared of the persons who lived at the house in Severn Street. - Mr. William Edward Ord, 33, Bariston Street, Preston, stated that the deceased was his brother; his name was John Henry Ord, and he was thirty-two years of age. Deceased was a single man, and up to 1874 he was in the leather trade. Deceased's friends had not heard much of him lately. They knew that he had a house at Norwood for some time, and also that he had been living at Circus Road, St John's Wood, London. Witness had not seen him since August last, when he met him at his sister's, near Bradford. From that time he heard nothing about him except through his solicitors. Deceased had £250, a year coming in, and witness knew that he drew £500 7s from the bank in September. Since last March he had had a lot of money, and had regularly broken loose, living an indolent life. - Mr. O.W.Barratt, surgeon, Holloway Head, stated that he was called to see the deceased about eight o'clock on the evening of the 30th of October. He found deceased in bed, and there were two young women and two elderly women in the room with him. He found that deceased was suffering from delirium tremens and bronchitis. Deceased was tipsy, and witness prescribed for him. Witness told the women to give deceased the medicine, and to apply poultices to his back and chest. Witness told them to be sure and not give him any ale, wine, or spirits. One of the women told witness that deceased had arrived from a long journey that day, and had gone to bed immediately. Witness saw deceased next morning, when he was in a more intelligent mood. Witness told deceased that his life was in peril. He asked him his name, and deceased replied that he did not want his friends to know where he was. It would have been imprudent to have removed deceased. The women suggested that he should be removed to the hospital, but deceased said that he was being well cared for, and did not desire to be moved. In reply to the Coroner, the witness said that he considered the women in the house were perfectly competent to nurse the man. Witness was fetched about six o'clock on the Sunday evening and Dr. Simons was also fetched to attend deceased, but their aid was unavailing. Deceased died on the Sunday evening. The following morning Miss Johnson, the keeper of the house, came to witness's surgery for a certificate. - The Coroner: Did it not occur to you, knowing this man had died in a house of this kind, to give notice to the coroner or police? - Witness: No: I did not see the slightest reason for it. - Mr. S. Gamgee deposed to having made a post morten examination of the body. There were no external marks of violence. The liver afforded evidence of a long couse of intemperance. Death was due to inflammation of the lungs, accelerated by the condition of the liver. - Elizabeth Weaver, 6 house, 4 Court, Fordrough Street, who kept house in Severn Street for Miss Johnson when the latter was away, was examined concerning the time when the deceased came to the house with the girl Nelly Howe. - Inspector Willis stated that he stopped the funeral of the deceased on the 5th inst, and, in company with Superintendent Black, visited the house. As the deceased could not be identified they had the face photographed as the body lay in the coffin. Witness further stated that on searching the house they found 47 empty champagne bottles and 4 1/2 full, a large number of empty brandy bottles and some soda-water bottles. On searching deceased's clothes they found £2 6s 9 1/2d in money, his scarf-pin and a gold watch and chain, and several other things.- The Coroner remarked that the fact of the death of the man occurring under such circumstances, as shown by the evidence, shortly after his arrival at a house of the character the one in question was known to be, and coupled with the fact that no information of such a death was given to the police authorities, so that they might make enquiries as to identify, the hurried manner in which the certificate of death was obtained, and the early time fixed for the funeral, furnished such a combination of facts that he at once thought it his duty to investigate them, and the result was that the body was removed and came into his custody. Then what had taken place, and the enquiries of Superintendent Black and Inspector Willis, had brought the evidence they had before them. After reviewing the evidence of Sarah Johnson, given last week, the Coroner pointed out to the jury that it was for them to as certain whether any persons had acted wilfully and negligently, so as to affect the deceased's life. - The jury, after a short adjournment, returned a verdict, "That the deceased had died from acute inflammation of the lungs."

It tells of his WW1 experience and gives some family background information :
"Ord was born to an English father, Clement Ord, and German mother, Johanna Anthes, on 5th July 1888 in Reichelsheim-im-Odenwald, Germany. In 1891 Clement returned to England, bringing his family with him and they settled in Bristol where he served as a lecturer in English and German at University College.
Rudolf had four siblings: Evelyn, Mildred, Wilfrid, and Bernhard, the latter of whom is notable as having served as organist and choirmaster of King's College, Cambridge from 1929 to 1957. Described by the College's current incumbent, Stephen Cleobury as 'one of those rare musicians who became a legend in his lifetime' he is lauded not only for his supreme technical skill and musicality, but also for bringing the King's College choir to international prominence through foreign tours, recordings, and radio broadcasts. Rudolf's Uncle, William Edward Ord, as Mayor of Preston from 1906-8 and the first life president of Preston North End Football Club, is also worthy of note."
- correspondence between Ord and his friends has been donated to the Queen's Lancashire Regiment Museum.

North End Football club.
The first general meeting of the shareholders of the North End Football Club, Limited, was held in the Lower Crush Room, on Thursday evening. There was a large attendance, the chair being occupied by Mr. Sam Lee, J.P. Among those present were Mr. Sudell, Mr. R.P. Woodhouse, Mr. J.Parker (solicitor), and Mr. C Parker (secretary) - After the notice convening the meeting had been read, Mr. Parker read the report of the provisional directors as follows:- " Preston North End Football Club, Limited. Report of the Provisional Directors to the shareholders assembled in general meeting this 21st day of September 1893. Your directors have taken this earliest opportunity of meeting the shareholders to lay before them the position of the club at the present time, and to afford them the means of placing the conduct of its affairs in the hands of permanent directors and officials. The total number of shares allotted is 1,908, the amount received on applications and allotment is £909 5s. The allotment call on 201 shares is still owing. The receipts of the matches were North End v. Derby County, £119 8s; Southport Central, £15; and Sunderland, £292 17s 8d. The amount realised by the sale of shareholders tickets is £109, which with £2 10s paid in advance of calls makes the total receipts £1,448 0s 8d. The expenditure includes £750 paid on account of the purchase money; match expenses, £21 9s 3d; deputation to Scotland and bonus to Cunningham, £21 14s 6d; players wages, £89 10s and cheque book, 4s 2d; a total of £882 17s 11d, leaving a balance of £565 2s 9d. The £750 above mentioned as paid on account of the purchase money has been applied in payment of the debt due to Everton, £122 14s; players' wages, £420 12s 9d; Fishwick Ramblers, £10 10s; and to Mr. Sudell on account of the amount owing to him, £100; leaving a balance in the bank to the credit of the trustees of this fund of £96 15s 11d. Your directors, are of opinion that efforts should be made to issue 500 additional shares, as with a subscribed capital of £2,500 it is very probable that abother call of 5s per share would amply suffice to carry on the club, leaving a reserve of uncalled capital, of 5s per share. All the provisional directors retire from office at the conclusion of this meeting in conformity with the provisions of the prospectus. The following have qualified and offer themselves for re-election:- James Bowling, F. Coupe, Thomas Cunliffe, J. Brown, W.E.Ord, Charles Parker, and R.P Woodhouse."- The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report, and in doing so said he was well acquainted with the work of the Provisional Committee. The report was an accurate synopsis of the work of the committee, and he was very pleased to see that such good progress had been made. It gave him intense pleasure to move the adoption of the report - Mr. SUDELL seconded the motion, and considered the report very satisfactory.- The report was adopted unanimously. - The first Thursday in June was fixed as the day on which the annual meeting of the club should be held. _ One shareholder tried to introduce personalities with the Secretary, and after several gentlemen had appealed for order, the CHAIRMAN ruled that the matter was rrevelant to the business of the meeting.
The next business was the appointment of directors, and this excited considerable interest. Shareholders holding in their own name ten shares or upwards were eligible for the directorate, and 54 gentlemen were thus qualified. Of these 32 were nominated, viz, Robert Aspden, licensed victualler;*Jas. Bowling, licensed victualler; Thomas Bridge, under clothing manufacturer, *Joseph Brown, gentleman; John Catterall, overlooker; William Cooper, solicitor; *Francis Coupe, journalist; Thomas Croft, contractor; *Thomas Cuncliffe, joiner and builder; Robert Arthur Dawson, fishery inspector; Thomas Houghton, commercial traveller; Robert H. Howarth, licensed victualler; George Iddon, tobacconist; Henry W. Johnson, county auditor; Jos. Kelsall, licensed victualler; Joshua Margerison junr, soap manufacturer; Joseph Milner, licensed victualler; J.P. Muspratt, solicitor; William McGuiness, licensed victualler; William O'Neil, licensed victualler; * William E. Ord, leather merchant, * Charles Parker, estate agent, Walter Pomfret, paper merchant; Richard Potter, livery stable proprietor; James Robinson, wine merchant; William Sudell, cotton spinner; Richard Turner, tobacconist; James Wilding, assurance agent; Thomas Whitehead, solicitor; William WHiteside, licensed victualler; *R.P. Woodhouse, monumental mason; Fred Woods, plumber and painter. The names distinjuished by asterisks are gentlemen who were members of the Provisional Committee and see re-election. Twelve directors, according to the prospectus, were to form the Board, and after six scrutineers had been appointed, the shareholders filled up their papers. The scrutineers took the voting papers in another room, and were absent about an hour, the time being pleasantly whiled away, the chairman and others contributing recitations and songs. About 10 o'clock the scrutineers returned, and, amid great cheering, indicative of a party victory, the following gentlemen were announced to have been elected, viz:- Walter Pomfret, 169, William E Ord 166, William Sudell 169, R.P. Woodhouse, 147; Charles Parker 136; Joseph Brown 122; Francis Coupe 118; George Iddon 115; Thomas Cuncliffe, 108; Joshua Margerison, jun, 104; Thomas Whitehead, 97; and Thomas Houghton 97. A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the meeting. (note to self - need to check for typo errors)

..........................................................................
What did being a coach proprietor mean? I'd like to think that John Wilcockson was a coach driver dashing along. However, Richard suggested to me that there might have been two John Wilcocksons. John followed his father into the hat industry but then became coach proprietor on the census. Why?
So I have been looking at newspaper references to coach drivers in the Preston newspapers. I think coach drivers were well known characters. From general books I get the impression that they had a bit of the same appeal to boys as the later steam train drivers.
Preston Chronicle Sept 6 1834
On Monday last, aged 5 years and 8 months, Edward, the eldest son of Mr. James Newsham, of Avenham Road, coach proprietor.
and an article in the same paper
MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT - On Saturday morning last, Edward Newsham, a fine boy between five and six years of age, son of Mr. Newsham, coach driver, Avenham-street, was so dreadfully burned by his clothes catching fire, that he died on Monday. The deceased and some other children had got a turnip which they hollowed out as a lantern, and the deceased was carrying it away, having lighted a bit of candle in it, when his clothes took fire. Every possible assistance was given by those in the house, as soon as the accident became known, but the poor little fellow was so dreadfully injured in the neck and body before the flames could be extinguished, that, after two days suffering he expired.
I know this does not prove that our John was a coach driver but it shows a possibility that he might have been. Also so sad about little Edward, there are many articles about children being burnt.
Other articles show the respect accorded to coach drivers.
Preston Chronicle Sept 21 1844
On Saturday last, in the 38th year of his age, after a few days' illness, Mr. Edward Davis, of this town, who was for many years coach driver between Preston and Liverpool, and latterly between Blackburn and Blackpool.

Matilda was married to the mysterious William, and she was definitely known to our John although we have not yet worked out the relationship. Sarah probably her daughter. I wonder if Edward drove the coaches for John. Or if they were friends of Ellen.

On the 14th inst at Ambleside, after a short illness Mr. Joseph Bell, aged 50. The deceased was coach driver in the lake district for many years, but will be kindly and better remembered by many residents of the neighbourhood as the driver for a long time of the "round-about" coach (Messrs. Dunn and Pritt's) between Ulverston and Lancaster. Previous to that for some years he was known as one of the best whips on the Lancaster and Liverpool road.

THUNDER-STORM
PRESTON- Notwithstanding the violence of the storm, and the terrific character of the thunder and lightning which occurred yesterday week, we have not heard of any very serious result in this town. Between eight and nine o'clock in the evening, the house of Mr. John Wilcockson, coach proprietor, of Peel-hall Farm, near the House of Recovery, was struck by the electric fluid. It entered the chimney, and then forced its way through the wall into a ground floor apartment, where it tore the mantle-piece from the wall, shattered the chimney ornaments, and caused some other trifling damage. The kitchen door being fortunately open, the destructive element passed out through it without doing further injury. Mrs. Wilcockson and her niece were in the kitchen at the time the lightning passed through, but it providentially passed between them.

The mysterious death in Severn Street
Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Hawkes (coroner) held on adjourned inquest, at his court, Moor Street, on the body of a man who died at 15, Severn Street - a house of ill fame - on the 2nd inst. under somewhat mysterious circumstances - Since the adjournment of the inquest the police had succeeded in obtaining information as to the identity of the deceased. Mr. Crockford watched the case on behalf of deceased's relatives, and Mr. Cheston appeared of the persons who lived at the house in Severn Street. - Mr. William Edward Ord, 33, Bariston Street, Preston, stated that the deceased was his brother; his name was John Henry Ord, and he was thirty-two years of age. Deceased was a single man, and up to 1874 he was in the leather trade. Deceased's friends had not heard much of him lately. They knew that he had a house at Norwood for some time, and also that he had been living at Circus Road, St John's Wood, London. Witness had not seen him since August last, when he met him at his sister's, near Bradford. From that time he heard nothing about him except through his solicitors. Deceased had £250, a year coming in, and witness knew that he drew £500 7s from the bank in September. Since last March he had had a lot of money, and had regularly broken loose, living an indolent life. - Mr. O.W.Barratt, surgeon, Holloway Head, stated that he was called to see the deceased about eight o'clock on the evening of the 30th of October. He found deceased in bed, and there were two young women and two elderly women in the room with him. He found that deceased was suffering from delirium tremens and bronchitis. Deceased was tipsy, and witness prescribed for him. Witness told the women to give deceased the medicine, and to apply poultices to his back and chest. Witness told them to be sure and not give him any ale, wine, or spirits. One of the women told witness that deceased had arrived from a long journey that day, and had gone to bed immediately. Witness saw deceased next morning, when he was in a more intelligent mood. Witness told deceased that his life was in peril. He asked him his name, and deceased replied that he did not want his friends to know where he was. It would have been imprudent to have removed deceased. The women suggested that he should be removed to the hospital, but deceased said that he was being well cared for, and did not desire to be moved. In reply to the Coroner, the witness said that he considered the women in the house were perfectly competent to nurse the man. Witness was fetched about six o'clock on the Sunday evening and Dr. Simons was also fetched to attend deceased, but their aid was unavailing. Deceased died on the Sunday evening. The following morning Miss Johnson, the keeper of the house, came to witness's surgery for a certificate. - The Coroner: Did it not occur to you, knowing this man had died in a house of this kind, to give notice to the coroner or police? - Witness: No: I did not see the slightest reason for it. - Mr. S. Gamgee deposed to having made a post morten examination of the body. There were no external marks of violence. The liver afforded evidence of a long couse of intemperance. Death was due to inflammation of the lungs, accelerated by the condition of the liver. - Elizabeth Weaver, 6 house, 4 Court, Fordrough Street, who kept house in Severn Street for Miss Johnson when the latter was away, was examined concerning the time when the deceased came to the house with the girl Nelly Howe. - Inspector Willis stated that he stopped the funeral of the deceased on the 5th inst, and, in company with Superintendent Black, visited the house. As the deceased could not be identified they had the face photographed as the body lay in the coffin. Witness further stated that on searching the house they found 47 empty champagne bottles and 4 1/2 full, a large number of empty brandy bottles and some soda-water bottles. On searching deceased's clothes they found £2 6s 9 1/2d in money, his scarf-pin and a gold watch and chain, and several other things.- The Coroner remarked that the fact of the death of the man occurring under such circumstances, as shown by the evidence, shortly after his arrival at a house of the character the one in question was known to be, and coupled with the fact that no information of such a death was given to the police authorities, so that they might make enquiries as to identify, the hurried manner in which the certificate of death was obtained, and the early time fixed for the funeral, furnished such a combination of facts that he at once thought it his duty to investigate them, and the result was that the body was removed and came into his custody. Then what had taken place, and the enquiries of Superintendent Black and Inspector Willis, had brought the evidence they had before them. After reviewing the evidence of Sarah Johnson, given last week, the Coroner pointed out to the jury that it was for them to as certain whether any persons had acted wilfully and negligently, so as to affect the deceased's life. - The jury, after a short adjournment, returned a verdict, "That the deceased had died from acute inflammation of the lungs."

There is a very interesting article about Rudolf Ord online : Despatch Issue 8, Nov 2011
The Western Front Association
It tells of his WW1 experience and gives some family background information :
"Ord was born to an English father, Clement Ord, and German mother, Johanna Anthes, on 5th July 1888 in Reichelsheim-im-Odenwald, Germany. In 1891 Clement returned to England, bringing his family with him and they settled in Bristol where he served as a lecturer in English and German at University College.
Rudolf had four siblings: Evelyn, Mildred, Wilfrid, and Bernhard, the latter of whom is notable as having served as organist and choirmaster of King's College, Cambridge from 1929 to 1957. Described by the College's current incumbent, Stephen Cleobury as 'one of those rare musicians who became a legend in his lifetime' he is lauded not only for his supreme technical skill and musicality, but also for bringing the King's College choir to international prominence through foreign tours, recordings, and radio broadcasts. Rudolf's Uncle, William Edward Ord, as Mayor of Preston from 1906-8 and the first life president of Preston North End Football Club, is also worthy of note."
- correspondence between Ord and his friends has been donated to the Queen's Lancashire Regiment Museum.

North End Football club.
The first general meeting of the shareholders of the North End Football Club, Limited, was held in the Lower Crush Room, on Thursday evening. There was a large attendance, the chair being occupied by Mr. Sam Lee, J.P. Among those present were Mr. Sudell, Mr. R.P. Woodhouse, Mr. J.Parker (solicitor), and Mr. C Parker (secretary) - After the notice convening the meeting had been read, Mr. Parker read the report of the provisional directors as follows:- " Preston North End Football Club, Limited. Report of the Provisional Directors to the shareholders assembled in general meeting this 21st day of September 1893. Your directors have taken this earliest opportunity of meeting the shareholders to lay before them the position of the club at the present time, and to afford them the means of placing the conduct of its affairs in the hands of permanent directors and officials. The total number of shares allotted is 1,908, the amount received on applications and allotment is £909 5s. The allotment call on 201 shares is still owing. The receipts of the matches were North End v. Derby County, £119 8s; Southport Central, £15; and Sunderland, £292 17s 8d. The amount realised by the sale of shareholders tickets is £109, which with £2 10s paid in advance of calls makes the total receipts £1,448 0s 8d. The expenditure includes £750 paid on account of the purchase money; match expenses, £21 9s 3d; deputation to Scotland and bonus to Cunningham, £21 14s 6d; players wages, £89 10s and cheque book, 4s 2d; a total of £882 17s 11d, leaving a balance of £565 2s 9d. The £750 above mentioned as paid on account of the purchase money has been applied in payment of the debt due to Everton, £122 14s; players' wages, £420 12s 9d; Fishwick Ramblers, £10 10s; and to Mr. Sudell on account of the amount owing to him, £100; leaving a balance in the bank to the credit of the trustees of this fund of £96 15s 11d. Your directors, are of opinion that efforts should be made to issue 500 additional shares, as with a subscribed capital of £2,500 it is very probable that abother call of 5s per share would amply suffice to carry on the club, leaving a reserve of uncalled capital, of 5s per share. All the provisional directors retire from office at the conclusion of this meeting in conformity with the provisions of the prospectus. The following have qualified and offer themselves for re-election:- James Bowling, F. Coupe, Thomas Cunliffe, J. Brown, W.E.Ord, Charles Parker, and R.P Woodhouse."- The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report, and in doing so said he was well acquainted with the work of the Provisional Committee. The report was an accurate synopsis of the work of the committee, and he was very pleased to see that such good progress had been made. It gave him intense pleasure to move the adoption of the report - Mr. SUDELL seconded the motion, and considered the report very satisfactory.- The report was adopted unanimously. - The first Thursday in June was fixed as the day on which the annual meeting of the club should be held. _ One shareholder tried to introduce personalities with the Secretary, and after several gentlemen had appealed for order, the CHAIRMAN ruled that the matter was rrevelant to the business of the meeting.
The next business was the appointment of directors, and this excited considerable interest. Shareholders holding in their own name ten shares or upwards were eligible for the directorate, and 54 gentlemen were thus qualified. Of these 32 were nominated, viz, Robert Aspden, licensed victualler;*Jas. Bowling, licensed victualler; Thomas Bridge, under clothing manufacturer, *Joseph Brown, gentleman; John Catterall, overlooker; William Cooper, solicitor; *Francis Coupe, journalist; Thomas Croft, contractor; *Thomas Cuncliffe, joiner and builder; Robert Arthur Dawson, fishery inspector; Thomas Houghton, commercial traveller; Robert H. Howarth, licensed victualler; George Iddon, tobacconist; Henry W. Johnson, county auditor; Jos. Kelsall, licensed victualler; Joshua Margerison junr, soap manufacturer; Joseph Milner, licensed victualler; J.P. Muspratt, solicitor; William McGuiness, licensed victualler; William O'Neil, licensed victualler; * William E. Ord, leather merchant, * Charles Parker, estate agent, Walter Pomfret, paper merchant; Richard Potter, livery stable proprietor; James Robinson, wine merchant; William Sudell, cotton spinner; Richard Turner, tobacconist; James Wilding, assurance agent; Thomas Whitehead, solicitor; William WHiteside, licensed victualler; *R.P. Woodhouse, monumental mason; Fred Woods, plumber and painter. The names distinjuished by asterisks are gentlemen who were members of the Provisional Committee and see re-election. Twelve directors, according to the prospectus, were to form the Board, and after six scrutineers had been appointed, the shareholders filled up their papers. The scrutineers took the voting papers in another room, and were absent about an hour, the time being pleasantly whiled away, the chairman and others contributing recitations and songs. About 10 o'clock the scrutineers returned, and, amid great cheering, indicative of a party victory, the following gentlemen were announced to have been elected, viz:- Walter Pomfret, 169, William E Ord 166, William Sudell 169, R.P. Woodhouse, 147; Charles Parker 136; Joseph Brown 122; Francis Coupe 118; George Iddon 115; Thomas Cuncliffe, 108; Joshua Margerison, jun, 104; Thomas Whitehead, 97; and Thomas Houghton 97. A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the meeting. (note to self - need to check for typo errors)

The York Herald April 28 1888
The Sad death of a Harrogate Tradesman.
On Saturday afternoon, an inquest was held at the North-Eastern Station Hotel, Harrogate, before Mr H. Wood, of York, on the body of Mr. Robert William Shaw (32), of James-street, Harrogate, draper, who was found dead shot through the head in Bilton-lane, near Starbeck, on Friday week. Mr. D.S.Ward was appointed foreman of the jury, who proceeded to view the body, which had been removed to deceased's private residence at Monk Bretton, Franklin-road, Harrogate. Mr. Raworth, solicitor, Harrogate, watched the case on behalf of the relatives of the deceased.
Henry Arthur Hopkinson, of Toronto-terrace, Harrogate, draper, stated he was manager for the late Mr. Shaw, who carried on business in James-street. Deceased was 32 years of age. Last saw him alive about ten minutes to seven on Thursday night in the shop. and had a long conversation with him about the new stock that had been received that day, just prior to his leaving. After he had been talking, he seemed to loiter, as though he was undecided whether to go out or not. He went several times to his own desk, and hesitated whether he should stay till business closed or not. When he went out he did not say "good night" as usual. In the earlier part of the day he was quite lively, and seemed to be his usual self until about six o'clock. There had not been anything to perplex him in connection with the business, and he did not complain of illness.
Witness remarked to the cashier next morning as soon as he got to business that he had noticed something strange about the deceased. Witness knew that night that he was missing, but he did not know what had occurred when he made the remark in the morning. Deceased had been low-spirited at times, and complained about his liver. He had been at Matlock about six months ago - By the Jury : Mr Shaw was in and out of the shop during the day, but was not away for any length of time. Did not know that he had any special appointment that afternoon. There was nothing about the new goods that perplexed him.
Maria Reynard, wife of Thomas Reynard, of Bilton Park, farmer, stated that about a quarter-past-eight on Thursday night she heard the report of firearms. Did not know whether it was a gun or pistol; only heard one shot Bilton farm would be 400 or 500 yards from where the body was found. Bilton-lane is a footpath from Bilton to Knaresborough, and is not much frequented.
Benjamin Moorhouse, of Marsh Lea, Mayfield Grove, Harrogate, in the employment of the deceased, stated he had seen nothing unusual about Mr. Shaw during the day. Was there when he left, and did not notice anything at that time. Prior to Thursday had noticed that he was a little low spirited. Did not know any reason for that except that he might be a little out of health at times. Had seen a revolver like the one produced in the shop near Mr. Shaw's desk. Mr Shaw had the drawers open, and took the revolver out and showed it him. Did not see Mr. Shaw leave the Shop on Thursday night, and as far as he knew he was in the shop all afternoon. The last conversation witness had with him was about twenty minutes to seven, when witness asked if an account was 'nett', and the deceased answered "Yes". He seemed then in his usual spirits. By the Jury : Deceased told him when he showed him the revolver that it was for self-defence, as he was living on the place alone. Inspector Lumb, of the West Riding Police Force, stationed at Harrogate, gave details of the articles found upon the body, the most important being a small penny note book, the handwriting in which was sworn to by Mr. Hopkinson, and from which Mr. Lumb read the following :- Thursday Eve, April 19, 1888
My love, my love, when this shall reach thee I shall have gone. It cannot but be else. Dearest, my mind is going. I am convinced I have softening of the brain. Latterly I have felt it coming on, and I cannot live to be a misery to thee. I cannot live without thee; no, I cannot; therefore 'tis best to die. Farewell, farewell. To my Alice.
The following, read by the coroner, was also in the book :-
Thursday Eve, April 19, 1888
Farewell, my dear friends at home. I leave you because to live I should be a burden and a sorrow to you. I know my mind is affected; I can feel it. My memory fails me 'Tis better thus. Farewell, farewell, from your sorrowing Robert.
Inspector Lumb further stated that the revolver found near deceased was a six chambered one; four chambers were loaded with ball cartridge, and one appeared to have been recently fired.
The Coroner, having briefly reviewed the evidence, thought the jury would have sufficient before them to find that the mind of the deceased had been temporarily deranged.
At the request of the jury. Mr. Isaac Pickard, uncle of the deceased, confirmed the statement that the writing in the note book was that of his nephew.
Other evidence was called.
During the deliberation of the jury Mr. Pickard was recalled, and stated that there had been no misunderstanding between the deceased and the young lady named in the letter. After considering over half an hour the jury returned a verdict that deceased died from a bullet wound in the head, caused by his having shot himself with a revolver during a fit of temporary insanity. A vote of condolence with both the families concerned was also passed, and a vote of thanks to the Coroner for his courteous conduct during the inquiry.
On Monday the funeral took place at the Harrogate Cemetery, in the presence of a large concourse of spectators. The deceased was well known and widely respected, he having been connected with the secretaryship of the Harrogate Literary Society for some time. The interment was timed to take place at three o'clock, and by that time a large concourse of townspeople assembled in front of the residence. The house is located close to the cemetery, and a considerable proportion of the mourners preferred to walk, those in deceased's employ constituting a large contingent. On arrival at the Cemetery the body was conveyed to the east end, the part appointed for the interment of Friends, of which sect deceased was a member. At the grave side an impressive prayer was offered by Mrs Sissons, of York, after which the body was consigned to its last resting place, the coffin being literally covered with wreaths and floral tributes. A move was then made too the mortuary chapel, when appropriate addresses were delivered by Mr. Daniel Pickard and Mr. W. E. Turner of Liverpool; the latter also engaged in prayer at the conclusion of the solemn service. The coffin was of polished oak with silver mounts, and was supplied by Mr. A. Chippendale, of Harrogate. Amongst the tributes sent were splendid wreaths from the Harrogate Liberal Club and Harrogate Literary Society.
The Rev.W.L.Watkinson and the Rev.J.Morrison, Wesleyan ministers, were present during the mournful service.

In Memoriam
It is with much regret that we have to record the sudden death of one of our most devoted colleagues - Miss Louisa Shaw. On Thursday, June 4th, she left Harrogate, accompanied by Mr. Hodgson Smith, on a visit to our Dutch friends at Amsterdam. On Saturday evening, after a very full day, our hard-working colleague retired to rest; it being arranged that she and Mr. Hodgson Smith should go over to Haarlem on the following morning to hear the organ. Early on Sunday morning, the 7th, the inmates of our Dutch headquarters were roused from their sleep by the startling news that Miss Shaw had fallen from her bedroom window; had been picked up unconscious and carried to the Hospital across the Amstel. Though never fully conscious she could answer questions, and appeared as one in a half-dream. She seems to have not had the slightest idea of how she fell, and the only conclusion is that she must have been asleep at the time. Our colleague bore her sufferings with exemplary fortitude, and was most grateful to anyone who in any way could soothe her pain. But the spine was broken, and she passed away at 5 p.m., just as the Angelus rang out. The friends gathered round her bed and the good Sisters did all they could, and the peaceful atmosphere of the place was very appropriate and helpful to the devotional nature of our colleague in passing from the body.
Miss Louisa Shaw, who was 45 years of age, was a daughter of the late Mr E. Shaw(her father was Robert Shaw), of Harrogate, and was formerly a member of the Society of Friends, being educated at Ackworth School, where she afterwards officiated as teacher. For many years she has been deeply interested in Theosophy and for seven years past has been secretary of the Harrogate Branch, and one of our most valuable workers of the North. As the editor of the Harrogate Times says in an editorial notice:
The lamented death of Miss Louisa Shaw has been the regretful topic of conversation during the week. Miss Shaw was a remarkable woman in every respect. A fluent speaker, clear-headed, highly intellectual, yet withal a nervous, sensitive temperament, her enthusiam in the cause of Theosophy was mainly responsible for its attaining the popularity in Harrogate which it has already reached.
When our colleague was asked by her old friend and fellow worker, Mr. Hodgson Smith, whether she had any instructions about her body, she almost smiled and answered: "My body, oh! that is a very small matter; do whatever is the least trouble." The interment accordingly took place at Amsterdam on Wednesday, June 10th, at noon, and was attended by some 200 members of the Dutch Section. Mr. Hodgson Smith writes:"I cannot express how I was moved by the affection of the Dutch members; one and all were as true brothers and sisters. Fricke, I, Mrs Windust, Van Manen, Mr. Orage (of Leeds), Miss Dijkgraaf, Mr. Zossenheim and Dr. Hallo spoke round her grave, and there was nothing morbid and sorrowful, only a solemn joy. We felt her presence with us at least I did - during the few minutes of silence after Mrs. Windust's address, and we heard when we got back that she was heard by some, and seen by others."
At the same time a memorial service was held at Harrogate, of which the following report has been sent us for publication.
On Wednesday June 10th, a memorial Service for Miss Louisa Shaw was held in the Theosophical Hall, in Harrogate, at noon.
About 200 people were present, including many of our own members: representatives from the Bradford, Middlesbrough, Leeds, Hull and Didsbury Lodges and from the York Centre, and also many of those who had known and loved her in the town. On the platform facing everyone was placed a large portrait of Miss Shaw, and round it were grouped masses of white flowers and plants, while on a table on the right were rose-coloured flowers, all of which were gifts from members of the Harrogate Lodge and other Lodges.
Soon after the clock had struck twelve, Beethoven's Funeral March, played by Mr. H.E. Nichol, Mus. Bac. broke the silence. Then followed a short address from Mr. W. H. Thomas, in which he said that all had met together that day to spend a little while in communion for one who had passed away from this plane. She had gone because her work here was finished, because there was other work needing her, and no one would be more ready and willing to respond to that call than she. He then read a message which had just come from out Dutch brethren who were holding the funeral service at about the same time in Amsterdam, the message ran:
"We are with you in loving thought and sympathy. This common pain only draws us nearer to each other, all Dutch and English friends."
Mr. Thomas then dwelt on the importance which Theosophists attached to thought, and as there could be no separation between friends on the thought-plane. It was fitting that we should spend some few minutes in silent thought and meditation. When this had been carried out Mr. Thomas read an inspiring passage from Epictetus on the nature of the Divine Life in man.
Mr. Nichol then played Wagner's Pilgrims' Chorus from "Tannhauser," and as the notes grew louder and louder in a song of triumph it seemed as though there stole over the room an indefinable atmosphere of peace and joy and calm. Following this came the playing of Handel's Largo by Mr. Dunn on his' cello.
In the silence which ensued, Miss Eliza Pickard, a cousin of Miss Shaw, spoke, saying that she had frequently been brought into consciousness of Miss Shaw's thought in her freed condition, and the impression which came to her from sources in which they were both in harmony, was, that there were some present who were preparing for a further spiritual unfoldment, a deeper and fuller first-hand knowledge of spiritual reality, and the startling event which had just happened would be used as a help towards this. There were certain soul-conditions necessary for such experience, an elasticity of mind and yet firmness, combined with a condition of yielding, with the yieldingness of the willow, as well as the strength of the oak. Those who were found in such a soul-condition might be used by the Spirit of God for wider and fuller usefulness, and those who were conscious of a very strong link with their dear one who had gone would find from time to time a sense of her nearness when they were at their best.
After a few minutes' pause Miss Head read some lines from Sir Edwin Arnold's 'Song Celestial,' and again there was silence, broken by the playing of Chopin's 'Funeral March,' by Miss Whitehead. When the last notes had died away, Miss Hilda Smith read 'Crossing the Bar,' and then Mr. Thomas closed the meeting, which had lasted just an hour.

The York Herald April 28 1888
The Sad death of a Harrogate Tradesman.
On Saturday afternoon, an inquest was held at the North-Eastern Station Hotel, Harrogate, before Mr H. Wood, of York, on the body of Mr. Robert William Shaw (32), of James-street, Harrogate, draper, who was found dead shot through the head in Bilton-lane, near Starbeck, on Friday week. Mr. D.S.Ward was appointed foreman of the jury, who proceeded to view the body, which had been removed to deceased's private residence at Monk Bretton, Franklin-road, Harrogate. Mr. Raworth, solicitor, Harrogate, watched the case on behalf of the relatives of the deceased.
Henry Arthur Hopkinson, of Toronto-terrace, Harrogate, draper, stated he was manager for the late Mr. Shaw, who carried on business in James-street. Deceased was 32 years of age. Last saw him alive about ten minutes to seven on Thursday night in the shop. and had a long conversation with him about the new stock that had been received that day, just prior to his leaving. After he had been talking, he seemed to loiter, as though he was undecided whether to go out or not. He went several times to his own desk, and hesitated whether he should stay till business closed or not. When he went out he did not say "good night" as usual. In the earlier part of the day he was quite lively, and seemed to be his usual self until about six o'clock. There had not been anything to perplex him in connection with the business, and he did not complain of illness.
Witness remarked to the cashier next morning as soon as he got to business that he had noticed something strange about the deceased. Witness knew that night that he was missing, but he did not know what had occurred when he made the remark in the morning. Deceased had been low-spirited at times, and complained about his liver. He had been at Matlock about six months ago - By the Jury : Mr Shaw was in and out of the shop during the day, but was not away for any length of time. Did not know that he had any special appointment that afternoon. There was nothing about the new goods that perplexed him.
Maria Reynard, wife of Thomas Reynard, of Bilton Park, farmer, stated that about a quarter-past-eight on Thursday night she heard the report of firearms. Did not know whether it was a gun or pistol; only heard one shot Bilton farm would be 400 or 500 yards from where the body was found. Bilton-lane is a footpath from Bilton to Knaresborough, and is not much frequented.
Benjamin Moorhouse, of Marsh Lea, Mayfield Grove, Harrogate, in the employment of the deceased, stated he had seen nothing unusual about Mr. Shaw during the day. Was there when he left, and did not notice anything at that time. Prior to Thursday had noticed that he was a little low spirited. Did not know any reason for that except that he might be a little out of health at times. Had seen a revolver like the one produced in the shop near Mr. Shaw's desk. Mr Shaw had the drawers open, and took the revolver out and showed it him. Did not see Mr. Shaw leave the Shop on Thursday night, and as far as he knew he was in the shop all afternoon. The last conversation witness had with him was about twenty minutes to seven, when witness asked if an account was 'nett', and the deceased answered "Yes". He seemed then in his usual spirits. By the Jury : Deceased told him when he showed him the revolver that it was for self-defence, as he was living on the place alone. Inspector Lumb, of the West Riding Police Force, stationed at Harrogate, gave details of the articles found upon the body, the most important being a small penny note book, the handwriting in which was sworn to by Mr. Hopkinson, and from which Mr. Lumb read the following :- Thursday Eve, April 19, 1888
My love, my love, when this shall reach thee I shall have gone. It cannot but be else. Dearest, my mind is going. I am convinced I have softening of the brain. Latterly I have felt it coming on, and I cannot live to be a misery to thee. I cannot live without thee; no, I cannot; therefore 'tis best to die. Farewell, farewell. To my Alice.
The following, read by the coroner, was also in the book :-
Thursday Eve, April 19, 1888
Farewell, my dear friends at home. I leave you because to live I should be a burden and a sorrow to you. I know my mind is affected; I can feel it. My memory fails me 'Tis better thus. Farewell, farewell, from your sorrowing Robert.
Inspector Lumb further stated that the revolver found near deceased was a six chambered one; four chambers were loaded with ball cartridge, and one appeared to have been recently fired.
The Coroner, having briefly reviewed the evidence, thought the jury would have sufficient before them to find that the mind of the deceased had been temporarily deranged.
At the request of the jury. Mr. Isaac Pickard, uncle of the deceased, confirmed the statement that the writing in the note book was that of his nephew.
Other evidence was called.
During the deliberation of the jury Mr. Pickard was recalled, and stated that there had been no misunderstanding between the deceased and the young lady named in the letter. After considering over half an hour the jury returned a verdict that deceased died from a bullet wound in the head, caused by his having shot himself with a revolver during a fit of temporary insanity. A vote of condolence with both the families concerned was also passed, and a vote of thanks to the Coroner for his courteous conduct during the inquiry.
On Monday the funeral took place at the Harrogate Cemetery, in the presence of a large concourse of spectators. The deceased was well known and widely respected, he having been connected with the secretaryship of the Harrogate Literary Society for some time. The interment was timed to take place at three o'clock, and by that time a large concourse of townspeople assembled in front of the residence. The house is located close to the cemetery, and a considerable proportion of the mourners preferred to walk, those in deceased's employ constituting a large contingent. On arrival at the Cemetery the body was conveyed to the east end, the part appointed for the interment of Friends, of which sect deceased was a member. At the grave side an impressive prayer was offered by Mrs Sissons, of York, after which the body was consigned to its last resting place, the coffin being literally covered with wreaths and floral tributes. A move was then made too the mortuary chapel, when appropriate addresses were delivered by Mr. Daniel Pickard and Mr. W. E. Turner of Liverpool; the latter also engaged in prayer at the conclusion of the solemn service. The coffin was of polished oak with silver mounts, and was supplied by Mr. A. Chippendale, of Harrogate. Amongst the tributes sent were splendid wreaths from the Harrogate Liberal Club and Harrogate Literary Society.
The Rev.W.L.Watkinson and the Rev.J.Morrison, Wesleyan ministers, were present during the mournful service.

In Memoriam
It is with much regret that we have to record the sudden death of one of our most devoted colleagues - Miss Louisa Shaw. On Thursday, June 4th, she left Harrogate, accompanied by Mr. Hodgson Smith, on a visit to our Dutch friends at Amsterdam. On Saturday evening, after a very full day, our hard-working colleague retired to rest; it being arranged that she and Mr. Hodgson Smith should go over to Haarlem on the following morning to hear the organ. Early on Sunday morning, the 7th, the inmates of our Dutch headquarters were roused from their sleep by the startling news that Miss Shaw had fallen from her bedroom window; had been picked up unconscious and carried to the Hospital across the Amstel. Though never fully conscious she could answer questions, and appeared as one in a half-dream. She seems to have not had the slightest idea of how she fell, and the only conclusion is that she must have been asleep at the time. Our colleague bore her sufferings with exemplary fortitude, and was most grateful to anyone who in any way could soothe her pain. But the spine was broken, and she passed away at 5 p.m., just as the Angelus rang out. The friends gathered round her bed and the good Sisters did all they could, and the peaceful atmosphere of the place was very appropriate and helpful to the devotional nature of our colleague in passing from the body.
Miss Louisa Shaw, who was 45 years of age, was a daughter of the late Mr E. Shaw(her father was Robert Shaw), of Harrogate, and was formerly a member of the Society of Friends, being educated at Ackworth School, where she afterwards officiated as teacher. For many years she has been deeply interested in Theosophy and for seven years past has been secretary of the Harrogate Branch, and one of our most valuable workers of the North. As the editor of the Harrogate Times says in an editorial notice:
The lamented death of Miss Louisa Shaw has been the regretful topic of conversation during the week. Miss Shaw was a remarkable woman in every respect. A fluent speaker, clear-headed, highly intellectual, yet withal a nervous, sensitive temperament, her enthusiam in the cause of Theosophy was mainly responsible for its attaining the popularity in Harrogate which it has already reached.
When our colleague was asked by her old friend and fellow worker, Mr. Hodgson Smith, whether she had any instructions about her body, she almost smiled and answered: "My body, oh! that is a very small matter; do whatever is the least trouble." The interment accordingly took place at Amsterdam on Wednesday, June 10th, at noon, and was attended by some 200 members of the Dutch Section. Mr. Hodgson Smith writes:"I cannot express how I was moved by the affection of the Dutch members; one and all were as true brothers and sisters. Fricke, I, Mrs Windust, Van Manen, Mr. Orage (of Leeds), Miss Dijkgraaf, Mr. Zossenheim and Dr. Hallo spoke round her grave, and there was nothing morbid and sorrowful, only a solemn joy. We felt her presence with us at least I did - during the few minutes of silence after Mrs. Windust's address, and we heard when we got back that she was heard by some, and seen by others."
At the same time a memorial service was held at Harrogate, of which the following report has been sent us for publication.
On Wednesday June 10th, a memorial Service for Miss Louisa Shaw was held in the Theosophical Hall, in Harrogate, at noon.
About 200 people were present, including many of our own members: representatives from the Bradford, Middlesbrough, Leeds, Hull and Didsbury Lodges and from the York Centre, and also many of those who had known and loved her in the town. On the platform facing everyone was placed a large portrait of Miss Shaw, and round it were grouped masses of white flowers and plants, while on a table on the right were rose-coloured flowers, all of which were gifts from members of the Harrogate Lodge and other Lodges.
Soon after the clock had struck twelve, Beethoven's Funeral March, played by Mr. H.E. Nichol, Mus. Bac. broke the silence. Then followed a short address from Mr. W. H. Thomas, in which he said that all had met together that day to spend a little while in communion for one who had passed away from this plane. She had gone because her work here was finished, because there was other work needing her, and no one would be more ready and willing to respond to that call than she. He then read a message which had just come from out Dutch brethren who were holding the funeral service at about the same time in Amsterdam, the message ran:
"We are with you in loving thought and sympathy. This common pain only draws us nearer to each other, all Dutch and English friends."
Mr. Thomas then dwelt on the importance which Theosophists attached to thought, and as there could be no separation between friends on the thought-plane. It was fitting that we should spend some few minutes in silent thought and meditation. When this had been carried out Mr. Thomas read an inspiring passage from Epictetus on the nature of the Divine Life in man.
Mr. Nichol then played Wagner's Pilgrims' Chorus from "Tannhauser," and as the notes grew louder and louder in a song of triumph it seemed as though there stole over the room an indefinable atmosphere of peace and joy and calm. Following this came the playing of Handel's Largo by Mr. Dunn on his' cello.
In the silence which ensued, Miss Eliza Pickard, a cousin of Miss Shaw, spoke, saying that she had frequently been brought into consciousness of Miss Shaw's thought in her freed condition, and the impression which came to her from sources in which they were both in harmony, was, that there were some present who were preparing for a further spiritual unfoldment, a deeper and fuller first-hand knowledge of spiritual reality, and the startling event which had just happened would be used as a help towards this. There were certain soul-conditions necessary for such experience, an elasticity of mind and yet firmness, combined with a condition of yielding, with the yieldingness of the willow, as well as the strength of the oak. Those who were found in such a soul-condition might be used by the Spirit of God for wider and fuller usefulness, and those who were conscious of a very strong link with their dear one who had gone would find from time to time a sense of her nearness when they were at their best.
After a few minutes' pause Miss Head read some lines from Sir Edwin Arnold's 'Song Celestial,' and again there was silence, broken by the playing of Chopin's 'Funeral March,' by Miss Whitehead. When the last notes had died away, Miss Hilda Smith read 'Crossing the Bar,' and then Mr. Thomas closed the meeting, which had lasted just an hour.
