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.

Celia has got me all enthusiastic again - I am going to redo the Wilcockson research as I don't know whereabouts in the house it is. I was already in the middle of some interesting research on the daughter of Sarah Wilcockson. But as this blog back to front business gets me all confused I'm going to lay it out first the other way around so when I read it, it'll be the right way round if you can follow me. So you will see a lot of empty posts till I get round to filling them in. I think the best way will be to put the name in the title in capitals when I have finished that name. I came to the conclusion last time, that in order to understand the Wilcocksons in Preston it would be necessary to look at the other quaker families in Preston at that time. It would have been a small close community and of course the Satterthwaites are related. So at some time it would be interesting to follow the other Preston families. That is why you will see other names cropping up.
I am going to concentrate on the family of David and Esther, and try to finish the research on Sarah first or else I shall forget what I was doing.

Celia's post.

Celia has posted about the early origins of the Wilcockson family. You can find it on her blog at
www.morgansite.wordpress.com. It also tells of the emigrant George Wilcockson and the possible link to Daniel Boone. Happy reading.

If Celia is reading this, please could........................................throught the comments - I won't publish it but I can't see another way of contacting you. Thank you for your message.
Sorry that won't work either because I've just read through the blog and seen that comments have automatically appeared !! at one time you had to approve comments and nor does there seem to be a way to hide comments. Grrrrr I have just posted a question on rootschat.com forum - its on the Lancashire board and its called Isaac Wilcockson of Preston. You can then send me a private message by clicking on my user name (Little Wren) on the left hand side.

The Senols family II

Its ages since I have last been on here and everything has changed grrrrr. Karen has contacted me about  the Senols family, so I hope she finds her way here and can check what I have. Welcome Karen. As I think I have already put we are not related to the Senols but Amelia Senols married Isaac Wilcockson, they had no children and I have a soft spot for childless couples if we do not include them in our trees they won't be on anyones tree. And Isaac and Amelia I think lived an interesting life.
For Karen, Isaac was born into a Quaker family in Preston. When Quakers moved from one meeting area to another they would take a certificate with them (national archive site) and so we know that Isaac went to London in 1804. We also know he was disowned by the Quakers in 1815, at that time Quakers were meant to marry other Quakers. I like to think he must have loved Amelia. Isaac lived in the posh part of Preston, published a newspaper was involved with the civic life in Preston, and had various business interests. So I wondered if Amelia had fetched a dowry with her when they married and also they are missing from the 1841 census, were they visiting Amelia's relatives? At the moment I don't think Amelia had a fortune and Isaac and Amelia are still missing in 1841. Did the use of the names Amelia and Isaac indicate that they had contact with Amelia's family in London?

Karen do you know there is a photograph of Amelia in a published book.

The following is research all online.
I have a subscription to Ancestry, (A) indicates records from this site.

From the oldbailey website, Elizabeth Farrell stole a stove from James Senols of Fore-street Cripplegate. Date of trial 29 May 1816.

Newspaper extracts, I get confused as to which Senols they apply to so I will just copy them all under this James, his son first married in 1816, some just refer to Mr. What they show is that the family were involved in bankruptcy something which I don't quite understand as it seems that they continued working. But this is the reason I do not think Amelia brought a dowry with her.

I include this article because it might be relevant from the oil point of view.

This completes the research I have done on the Senols family.
Suggestions for further research if it were my tree, to look at the Ball family, the Collinson family and the Dryland family. And to find out more about the marriage of Henry in 1741.
I have probably made mistakes, so if you are using this information it is a good idea to check it for yourself. If you do find a mistake I don't mind being corrected.

There is also this mystery.

Hi Michael
can you let me know how you are connected to the Wilcocksons of Preston. I am most interested. You can send me a comment, if you give your permission I will post - or you could ask to just tell me and I will not pass on details.
Although I have not been active on here for quite a bit that does not mean I have given up. Lately I have been researching my mothers side of the family as her sister passed away last year.
I am useless with computers, I did try to send you a message but I could not figure out how to do it.
