Note25 March 1925 Article on website regarding the Story of Mapperley Park Tennis Club, by Chris Weir.
"The Hall itself, along with some of its grounds, was taken over by Nottingham Corporation as a hostel for University College. However a plot of land lying at the corner of Carisbrooke Drive and Mapperley Hall Drive remained undeveloped, possibly because it was badly drained and prone to flooding. Then by an indenture of the 14th September 1904 this plot was conveyed from William B. Starr to John Dane Player, the tobacco manufacturer, for the sum of £12,000. Apparently this corner plot included a pond, probably once part of the Hall's grounds, and as this may have presented difficulties for developers, the site continued to remain unused for some years."
"In a conveyance of the 25th March 1925, kept in the club's archives, a 2,595 square yard portion of the original corner plot was sold by Player to James H. Shipstone, who at the time was living on Arlington Drive, for the sum of £1,250."39 
Note15 May 1925 Article on website regarding the Story of Mapperley Park Tennis Club, by Chris Weir.
"A few months later, on the 15th May 1925, Shipstone leased the land to a group of lessees who together represented what was to become Mapperley Park Tennis Club."

"A covenant in the lease stated that the land was only to be used as 'a lawn tennis or other similar private club sports ground'. In addition it stated that the lessees were not to allow 'any persons other than the members of Mapperley Park Tennis Club or servants of the said Club, or the guests of the said Club, to use the demised premises'. They also had to agree to keep the land in good condition and at the end of each season 'to replace with good sound turf such of the turf as shall or may be worn'."39

St. Augustine is shown at the head of his band of white-robed monks, with King Ethelbert and his wife Bertha receiving them. The former are announced as "Strangers from Rome", and the King and Queen are listening to St. Augustine's sermon, which is being translated by an interpreter. Men of the bodyguard, warriors and councillors attend on the king and queen, and ships are shown in the background.51

BISHOP DEDICATES NEW WEST WINDOW

Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Shipstone's Gift

Yesterday was a day of thanksgiving at St. Augustine Church, New Basford, Nottingham.

Since last year, more than £700 has been raised for the renovation and decoration of the church, and a new West window has been given by Mr. and Mrs. J.H. Shipstone.
The new window, which is of six lights and foils, and is designed to illustrate the landing and reception of St. Augustine at Ebbsfleet, in the Isle of Thanet, A.D. 597, was dedicated by the Bishop of Southwell (Dr. H. Mosley) at the morning service, and in the evening, the Rev. J.W. Conybeare (Provost of Southwell Cathedral) preached at a special thanksgiving service.
The donors of the windows were among the large congregation present at the dedication service, and the Rev. T.W. Peak (former vicar) and Rev. B.S. Ainley (vicar) took part in the service.

Public Worship a Duty

The Bishop in his sermon said the people of St. Augustine's had a church of which they might well be proud, and by the dedication of a new west window they had added enormously to its beauty and dignity. Beautiful surroundings in churches were fitting most of all because of what was due to God, and because they should help us to see God better, to realise more fully His beauty, His truth and goodness.

Speaking of the main purpose of public worship - to honour and glorify God - the Bishop said there was a danger in the re-action of the old idea of Sunday of the puritanical view, that we should forget the main purpose of Sunday to worship God. However much we might value healthy recreation and open-air advantages that were so much appreciated today. We should fail sadly if, first of all, we did not recognise our duty of honouring and worshipping God. Worship should be the expression, not only of our attitude towards God, but our attitude towards life.52

Note1949 Article on website regarding the Story of Mapperley Park Tennis Club, by Chris Weir.
Part 3
"1949 was a year of mixed fortunes for the club. "

"However, the light problem paled into insignificance when Mr. Shipstone (of Shipstone's Brewery in Basford), who owned the club's land, decided that he needed to sell the land. The sum involved was £1,500, a hefty amount in those days. The club was immediately thrown into crisis. A special meeting was held on the 30th November at the Nottingham Mechanics Institute, with all kinds of ideas raised to save the club's future. Following the meeting a circular letter went out to members, but only £45 was raised, and further efforts still only secured another 135."

"Then Mr. S.J. Browne, the club's president, came to the rescue. In 1950 Mr. Browne negotiated a more realistic sum of £1,250 for the land, along with a mortgage raised through the club's deeds. He himself offered the club an interest free loan of £250. Mr. Browne had saved the day. It seems, from the minutes, that Mr. Shipstone had been reluctant to plunge the club into such a difficult position Indeed the minutes record that: 'Before we consider the future, I should like to record our gratitude to Mr. Shipstone for the generous way he has dealt with us over the last 10 years.39' "

(Mentioned) Newspaper1 June 1953 He was mentioned in a newspaper article on 1 June 1953. Over a Century of Good Brewing

When James Shipstone first opened his brewery to service the people of Nottingham, he was not embarking on a novel service.

Nottingham had for centuries enjoyed a reputation for brewing; its ancient rock-hewn caves had proved ideal for fermentation and storage and Nottingham ale was famous and popular.

The peculiar mineral properties of the local waters had created and maintained a certain quality in brewing which was the envy of other towns.

Into such an establishment craft came the young James Shipstone. He was a great man with great ideas, whose courage matched the adventurous streak in his nature.

He planned along ambitious lines and was a pioneer in the application of science in the development of industry.

"Pleasantly Reached"

In a Nottingham handbook of 1852, it is recorded thus: "Basford, two miles and a half North of Nottingham, may be pleasantly reached either on foot or by railway". Here, James Shipstone founded his brewery.

In 1880, his eldest son, another James, was taken into partnership and when another son, Thomas, came in four years later, the firm James Shipstone and sons was brought into being.

On the death of the founder in 1897, the second James became chairman and continued in that capacity until his death in 1940, when James Henry and Ronald Arthur Shipstone became joint managing directors. Ronald died four years later, and James Henry carried on until his retirement brought into office his son, the fourth James Shipstone.

The House of Shipstone is now in its second century of development, and the policy established by four generations which has proved eminently successful will be maintained.

The high standard of their products is as well know as their familiar star trade mark, and their magnificent horses.69

There are two James Leslie's.
One born 1906 in Basford, (dies in 1972) descended from the brewers, and one 1908 in Worksop (dies in Rother Valley 1970).
I have tried not to mix them up ...

Mary Ward Shipstone was still alive when James L marries for the second time in 1950... and they are living apart. They became divorced.

There is also an "Ernest & Peter" Shipton as potential children in GRO index with mother Horsley - but these are from an Ernest Shipton = Horsley (not J. L. Shipstone = Horsley), so are not James' children.

Miners' £500 A Month To Comforts Fund

The miners of Nottinghamshire have doubled their monthly contribution to the Notts. Services Comforts Fund. Formerly they made a grant of £250 per month, this has now risen to £500.

A Nottingham Film

I notice in "The Lighter Side" of Monday's issue a paragraph headed "Local News From America" on the subject of a film called "The Warning", which is alleged to show scenes taken during a "terrific bombardment" of Nottingham". May I point out that this film was made in May 1938, a considerable amount of it being "shot" at a demonstration being given by what was then the Auxiliary Fire Service in the Leen Side district. The warning referred to was of course intended to be what this country might expect in the way of raids, and did not, I believe, have any reference to the alas all too well known air raid warning as we now know it. As I was fortunate enough to take part in the demonstration which I mention, I feel I would like to bring the real facts of the matter to notice, especially as it serves to provide an opportunity of mentioning that Nottingham originated the Auxiliary Fire Service, which has since of course been merged into the National Fire Service. Considering that the film referred to was made sixteen months before war started, I feel it constitutes a great tribute to the long-sightedness of the city as a whole, and of Captain Popkiss in particular.

Licensing Bill Thin End of Wedge

"It seems to me that we have far greater tasks and far more serious problems facing our country than to fool around with pubs," said Mr. Dennis Kendal, M.P. for Grantham, speaking at the dinner of the Lincoln and District Licensed Victuallers' Association at Lincoln last night.

He was responding to the toast "The Houses of Parliament", and in referring to the proposed Licensing Bill he remarked "I object very strongly to any Government going into the pub business.
"I think that the brewers can and do cater to the public quite adequately, but I think, all in all, we must keep throughout our lives in this country means or private enterprise working and operating, one in competition with the other, on a fair basis" he said.

Monopoly nonsense

Mr. James L. Shipstone, Nottingham brewer, who proposed the toast "Lincoln and District L.V.A." said that is was nonsense to talk about monopoly of the breweries. He asked: "What can be more competitive than our trade?"
He went on : "We are told that this Licensing bill is not the thin end of the wedge for nationalisation. I do not impute any insincerity to the Government when they say it is not, but I say they are wrong.
"It may not be their intention that this licensing measure should spread, but it will do so inevitably as soon as the seed is sown."
He could not believe nationalisation was going to be any improvement.
He concluded: "you are going to get a drink in something that is a cross between a Post Office, a railway refreshment room and a public lavatory".31

Defamatory Notes sent to Judge and J.P.

Nottingham Woman Charged under 1360 Act.

Between 30 and 40 letters and postcards alleging corruption were stated to have been sent to a High Court judge, a Justice of the Peace for Nottingham, and members of a well-known city family, by a Nottingham housewife, at Nottingham guildhall today.

Mrs. Betty Mildred King, 40, of 29 Bowers Avenue, was summoned for being a disturber of the peace , and being the writer of abusive and defamatory statements scandalising the Honourable Sir Wilfred Hubert Poyer Lewis, of the the H.M. Justices, and Mrs. Arthur Blount Lewis, J.P., of Nottingham.

She pleaded guilty and was bound over to be of good behaviour and to keep the peace for five years in the sum of £25, with two sureties of £25.

In default of the recognisances, Mrs. King was told she would be sent to prison for three months.

Mr. R.O.F. Hickman, prosecuting, said King was being prosecuted under an Act of 1360.

Involved in Court Actions.

Defendant had been involved in two court actions during the past seven years, both of which she lost.

The first was in 1941 at Nottingham, when her application for a maintenance order against her husband from whom she was separated.
Mrs. Lewis was one of the magistrates on that occasion.

Claim for Damages.

The second was in 1943, when her claim for damages was dismissed in the High Court by Mr. Justice Lewis.

Since February of this, Mrs. King was written between 30 and 40 abusive letters and postcards to Sir Wilfred Lewis, Mrs. Arthur Blount Lewis and Mr. and Mrs. J.L. Shipstone who, said Hickman "were a very well known Nottingham family".

There was no relationship between Sir Hubert and Mrs. Lewis, but defendant was distantly related by marriage to the Shipstones and had been making defamatory statements about Mrs. Shipstone's Uncle.

Not concerned in Case

In her libel action at the High Court, defendant subpoenaed Mrs. Shipstone, although she was not concerned in the case in any way.

Letters she had written to Mrs. Lewis and to Mrs. Shipstone accused them of corruption.

"Since sending of the summons" said Mr. Hickman, "King had written to Mrs. Shipstone saying 'things' would be disclosed if steps were not taken to stop the prosecution."

"The letters had been written with such frequency as to cause anxiety and distress to the parties concerned", he said.


Mr. F.B. Pearce, for Mrs. King, said defendant had conducted her own case throughout the High Court action "which was extremely difficult".

Written in same vein.

It was because of the treatment she thought she had received, at that time, that she wrote the letters.

The letters were written in more or less the same vein and did not vary much in their accusations and complaints, he said.

Mrs. King had now obtained a maintenance order and was living with her mother. She realized her mistake and was very sorry for what she had done.33

Resch Note*before 2 August 1950 Research Note:
There is a divorce before either of them re-marry.

As this is shortly after the court case, perhaps this is the revelations Mrs. King would unearth about "Mrs. Shipstone's Uncle"...? (not clear how she was related to either party - Betty Mildred King distantly related to Mrs. Shipstone - Mary Ward nee Horsley - and defamed her uncle).

There was certainly a quick " parting of the ways" as James Leslie Shipstone re-married in just over a year from the court case, and Mary 5 years later.

Dorking News

In the Divorce court

on Wednesday last week, before Mr. Commissioner Bush James, K.C., Mrs. Mary Ward Shipstone, of Burford Bridge Hotel, Box Hill, near Dorking, petitioned for the dissolution of her marriage, charging her husband, James Leslie Shipstone, a company director, with adultery. He did not defend. There are two children of the marriage, which took place in January 1932. Petitioner's case was that until August 1948, the married life had been normally happy. Later her suspicions were aroused when her husband began to go out on his own. She alleged association with another woman and later, as she also alleged, he told her that he was in love with the woman. When seen by an enquiry agent, both he and the woman made statements admitting they were living together. A decree nisi was granted petitioner, with costs and custody of the two children.11

Golden Key Unlocked the Welcome Inn

Opening of resort's newest amenity

Mr. James L. Shipstone, Chairman of the Nottingham Brewing firm of James Shipstone and Sons Ltd., formally opened the firm's new Welcome Inn at Burgh Road Skegness yesterday (Tuesday) morning, before a large assembly and in glorious sunshine.

He had some nice things to say about Skegness in the course of doing so. Skegness had the best air in the world, he said, and he intimated that the combination of that and Shipstone's beer would be a good thing.

He wished them to know that they were all welcome in "The Welcome". It was their second and probably last, foothold in Skegness, their earlier house being The Shades, in Lumley Road, for which he had always had a particular affection, and hoped that the Welcome would be a worthy younger brother to that establishment.

He thought that all would be pleased with it, and he hoped that everyone who used it would gain great pleasure and happiness from it.

Welcome and farewell

He felt it would be much appreciated by the many Nottingham people who came to Skegness. The Inn was just about a mile from the Clock Tower, and he could imagine what any Nottingham father would say, after having had the children on the beach all the morning, when the appropriate time arrived. (Laughter).

They hoped that for many it would provide a welcome to Skegness, and a farewell to Skegness too. (Applause).

He wished to pay tribute to all who had been concerned with its erection and equipment. "It is Skegness people who have built it" he said "and we think that if you are going to erect an inn in a resort, you should let the people build it who are going to drink in it, and vice-versa." (Applause).

They also had the most wonderful co-operation from all the authorities with whom they had to deal, he said.


First for 22 years


Coun. L. N. Walthall, J.P., Chairman of the Skegness U.D.C. said that the Welcome Inn was a welcome addition to the many hotels in the resort and the first which had been built there for some 22 years, and Skegness had between 14 and 18 hotels all told.

Skegness was known as Nottingham-by-the-Sea, so many Nottingham people came here during the year, and it was appropriate that a Nottingham firm should provide that new amenity. Skegness considered the new venture a first-class effort, and wished it every success.

Mr. Shipstone then unlocked the door of the main entrance with a golden key, and an official party followed for the invited guests, whilst at the same time large numbers of local people took the opportunity of having a first drink in the Welcome Inn.

A detailed description of the Welcome Inn, the picturesque features of which are enhanced by its being floodlit at night, appears on page three of this issue.36

The First Day at the Welcome Inn


The opening of the New Welcome Inn at Burgh Road, Skegness by Mr. James L. Shipstone, Chairman of the Nottingham Brewing firm of James Shipstone and Sons Ltd., is recorded pictorially in the companying photographs, which read chronologically upwards.

In the bottom picture, Mr. Shipstone is seen receiving the golden key with which he unlocked the door of the Welcome Inn at mid-day last Tuesday, watched intently by his wife - who has just been presented with a bouquet - and by Coun. L.N. Waltham J.P. (extreme left), Chairman of the Skegness U.D. Council.
In the centre picture Mr. and Mrs. Shipstone pose for a souvenir photograph with Mr. Ralph Crooks, manager of the hotel, and Mrs. Crooks.

A particularly happy moment is placed on record in the top-most picture , when the first pint of Shipstone's bitter ever to be drawn in the Welcome Inn - and drawn by Mr. J. L. Shipstone himself - is consumed with relish by Skegness's Chief Citizen. This particular picture is reproduced by courtesy of the Nottingham Guardian-Journal, and all three are by Mrs. A.E. Wrate, of Lumley Road, Skegness.

A full report of the opening ceremony in last week's "Skegness News" the closeness of the occasion to publishing time preventing these three pictures appearing in that issue. The letter also carried, on another page, a very complete description of this latest addition to Skegness's hotels, together with a picture of its very imposing exterior.

Beer soon to cost 2d. pint more

Prices of some beers are likely to go up within a week or so by as much as a penny a bottle or twopence a pint.

The 12 month price standstill which was agreed by the brewers and licensees last November, was lifted yesterday.

The Minister of Agriculture, Mr. James Prior, announced his decision to release the brewers and licencees from their undertaking after they urged that increased wages and distribution costs had changed the circumstances.

Unfair

The minister said: "At this time rigid control over beer prices is neither fair nor conductive to efficiency". Nor was it in accord with the present government's policy of free competition in an open market.

Earlier in the day, the Whitbread group gave warning that prices could not be held any longer.

The Brewer's Society said breweries rising costs in nearly all departments had swallowed up all increases granted by the prices and Incomes Board last year.

No Stampeding

Mr. James Shipstone chairman of James Shipstone and Sons, the city brewers, said last night: "We are not going to be stampeded by the other breweries. We shall make our own decisions, but these are early days to say much about it.

"We shall do our best to keep our prices down but if you get these idiot increases in everything, things will have to take their course." he added.

Mr. Norman de Johns, past president of the National Federation of Licensed Victuallers, said he did not anticipate many increases before the end of November.46

Sandiacre Thrill

Clothes Prop Used in Canal Rescue

A police officer borrowed a clothes prop from a house nearby and used it to rescue a woman who had fallen into the canal at Lock-lane, Sandiacre, on Saturday.

The woman, Miss Elizabeth Shipstone (50) of North-avenue, Sandiacre, was seen floating in the canal about ten or twelve feet from the bank.

P.C. Finney hooked the prop in her clothing and drew her to the bank.

Mr. William Henry Appleby, of College-street, Long Eaton, who was passing on his cycle, and another cyclist helped the officer to get the woman out of the water.

She was then unconscious but was revived thanks to the prompt application of artificial respiration of P.C. Finney.

Meanwhile a doctor had been sent for and he ordered Miss Shipstone's removal home.

Last night she was stated to be still very ill.11

County Hall Nottingham

Saturday - (before the Rev. G.F. Holcombe, Francis Hart, L. Hall, J.T. Edge, R. Holden, J.S. Sherwin, and T. Nixon Esqrs.)

Assaults -
John Shipstone was charged with assaulting Elizabeth Sterland, at Bulwell, on 8th instant. The prosecutrix had lodged with the defendant, and on the evening of Sunday last, went to sleep at the house of a neighbour for purpose of rising early on the following morning, to assist in making gloves. She had given Shipstone notice of her intention to leave, and had two children who were left at his house. On going to remove some clothes on the following day, the wife of the defendant wished to know if the children were about to be taken away, and subsequently threw them out of doors. A quarrel ensued, and defendant struck complainant several times. Margaret Cockins corroborated the statement of the prosecutrix. Shipstone acknowledged having struck the woman, but considered that he was justified in doing so, owing to her having used most abusing language towards him. Fined £1 5s, including costs.

(Note that the 1851 Census gives her as Visitor with the family at Cabbage Alley, Bulwell, though clearly she was a lodger.)13

Directory*1864 John Shipston was named in 1864 in the Nottinghamshire Trade List, brewers section of the White's Directory as Shipstone, John, Basford, and Crown Yard, Long Row, E. I presume it is this John, and not John son of James (i) brewer age 20 at Nottinghamshire, NTT.18 
Directory1864 He was named in 1864 in the Nottingham Alphabetic List section of the White's Directory of Nottinghamshire as Shipstone, John, Brewery Office, Crown Yard, Long Row, East, h, New Basford. I presume it is this John, and not John son of James (i) brewer age 20 - but I could be wrong ... at Nottinghamshire, NTT.18 
Resch Note*1871 Research Note:
No evidence of John after 1861 census, though wife Hannah is described as "married" not "widowed" in 1871. No suitable John in GRO deaths...

Wesleyan Methodist Circuit quarterly meeting

The usual quarterly meeting of the Wesleyan office bearers of the Nottingham South Circuit wad held on Monday June 26 1865, in the School Room under Halifax Place Chapel.

Mr. John Shipstone passed creditably through a theological examination, and was unanimously accepted as a fully accredited local preacher.7
 
Note*1868 John Shipstone listed in Methodist Ministers, as a Wesleyan commencing 1868, and dying in 1880.8 
Resch Notebetween 1868 and 1880 Research Note: at Ceylon
THE SINHALESE DISTRICT SOUTH CEYLON 83

He takes rank next after Gogerly as a scholar, and his works on Buddhism earned for him the distinction of membership
in the Royal Asiatic Society. Called to the Chair of the District, he served as Chairman for three years, returning to
England in 1865. Three years after he passed to his reward.

An altogether gracious personality is the terse, comprehensive, and honourable characterization of one of the great
Missionaries of Ceylon. He was followed as Chairman by his son-in-law, the Rev. John Scott. The additions to the staff
during the sixties were not numerous. The Revs. G. Baugh and J. Nicholson arrived in 1861, and the former of these
returned to England in 1869. Of even shorter duration was the service of the Rev. T. Roberts, who came out in 1865 and
returned to England in broken health three years after. His place was taken by the Rev. J. Shipstone, and the vacancy
caused by Nicholson's retirement was filled by the Rev. R. Tebb.

In 1880 Nicholson was able to return to the field, and
we shall meet him again.9

Some veracity to claim, as parents John and Emily are represented well (inc. John's birth data, and Emily's birth and death dates) - possibly only known by family members. She could, for example, be a still-born child, remembered by the family, but of whom no record exists.

Marion May (no further sign of her) may possibly be mis-remembered Margaret Emily Beauchamp Shipstone (their next child). I prefer the still-born theory.23

ENNISCORTHY (Ireland)

The Annual tea meeting in connection with the Methodist sabbath-school, Enniscorthy has been held recently in the Methodist chapel.
...
The tea tables were presided over by Mrs Shipstone
...
The names of the children who recited were as follows:
Fanny and Madge Shipstone, Master Jack Shipstone

The juvenile collectors worked very energetically-
Fanny Shipstone (grand-daughter of Rev. R. Beauchamp) £4 2s. 9d.

It could be that "the juvenile collectors", "Fanny, Jack and Madge" were all sibblings ... note absence of mythical Marion May Shipstone.

"In addition to the famous racing stables, where a number of the Duke of Portland's most celebrated horses (including "St. Simon") were to be seen, there is a group of substantially built almshouses, known as "The Winnings," which were erected by the Duke at the request of his wife out of the money won in seven races, viz., the Two Thousand Guineas in 1888 by "Ayrshire," the Derby and St. Leger in 1889 by "Donovan," the Oaks and St. Leger in 1890 by "Memoir," and the One Thousand Guineas in 1890 by "Semolina." The houses, which are excellently furnished, are occupied by pensioned servants whom age or illness has compelled to retire from the service of the Duke."

Resch NoteOctober 1936 Research Note:
So - was this Joseph William Shipstone killed accidentally at Stainforth colliery?

Quite possibly.

Living in Sheffield in 1911, and he was a collier.
There are no other possible death records for him (see on).
He died before 1939, as his wife is a widow by that time.

Age is a little wrong (2 years out - but was 5 years out in 1911 census)
Location is a little wrong (but still nearby).

(Subject) Newspaper*2 October 1936  He was the subject of a newspaper article on 2 October 1936.

CORONER AND PIT PROP REGULATION

"Clear it was not enforced"

At a Stainforth inquest yesterday a miner who was killed by a roof fall at Hatfield Main Colliery on Tuesday, the question was raised whether sufficient props had been used to support the roof.

The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death", the foreman stating: "The jury consider the deputy and chargeman have done their duty so far as they knew, and there does not appear to be any actual negligence on their part."

The coroner (Mr. W.H. Carlille) remarked "I quite agree with the verdict, but at the same time it is clear that this regulation has not actually been enforced in this case".

The inquest was on Joseph William Shipstone (57) of 29, South end, Stainforth.

"Perfectly safe"

John Walker, who was working with Shipstone in No. 12 stall said the place was perfectly safe and well timbered.
They were drawing timber, and had drawn off several props, and were making preparation to draw a steel prop when a large stone came down and trapped Shipstone, who was dead when extricated. He was satisfied the roof was well timbered, but another prop under the roof might have prevented the accident. The timber, however, was well set within the regulations.
Harry Hardy, a chargeman, said the roof was better that night than it had been for some time.

Coroner Reads Rule

The Coroner read the regulation relating to drawing off the timbering and asked if it was carried out. Witness said no in all cases. He always told the men to put in temporary supports, but he could not enforce them to do it.

The Coroner: You must see this regulation is carried out. It is no use making these provisions for safety unless they are carried out

Witness added that he would not call it negligence not having another prop Knowing Shipstone as he did. He was a very conscientious workman.

Deputys Statement

Thomas Ernest Greenough, a deputy, said the regulation was being carried out. To set additional props to those already set at this spot would have been like putting a man in a bird cage.
The Coroner said there seemed to be something amiss, but he thought it was realised now that this regulation meant what it said. The witnesses had been frank and he appreciated it.17
 
Burial*3 October 1936 He was buried on 3 October 1936 at Grave 505, Section E, Darnall Cemetery, Sheffield, YKS.12 
Resch Notebetween 1 October 1955 and 31 December 1955 Research Note: at R.D. Rowley R.
Could have been a possible death
Ref: 9b, 313 as Joseph W, age 74
Age matches exactly, BUT IS NOT THIS Joseph William!

However, this one has a wife, who dies in 1939, age 60:
Shipstone Mary Constance Emily of 68 Throne Road, Rowley Regis, Staffordshire (wife of Joseph William Shipstone) died 14 November 1939. Administration Birmingham 17 February to the said Joseph William Shipstone, plumbers labourer. Effects £360

This Joseph William Shipstone marries in Birmingham in 1904 to "Constance Kears", and is found in 1911 census.
Unfortunately, he is born in "Bramall Lane, Sheffield", and is aged 29.
They have:
Alfred Henry (b1907), William Walter (b1905) & Olive (b1910) all R.D. W. Bromwich

So could be this Joseph William - if he didnt' marry and wasn't living with Elizabeth Askwith! (but he was, and he did)

This one is of "Alfred & Eliza J Shipstone" Sheffield, and is found in Birmingham in 1891. Not a family I have links to.

However, needed to look into the above to show it is right, and not this Joseph William.

Note that other researchers haven't always been as thorough...14

Cemetery notes and/or description:
Étaples is a town about 27 kilometres south of Boulogne. The Military Cemetery is to the north of the town, on the west side of the road to Boulogne.

During the First World War, the area around Étaples was the scene of immense concentrations of Commonwealth reinforcement camps and hospitals. It was remote from attack, except from aircraft, and accessible by railway from both the northern or the southern battlefields. In 1917, 100,000 troops were camped among the sand dunes and the hospitals, which included eleven general, one stationary, four Red Cross hospitals and a convalescent depot, could deal with 22,000 wounded or sick. In September 1919, ten months after the Armistice, three hospitals and the Q.M.A.A.C. convalescent depot remained.

The cemetery contains 10,773 Commonwealth burials of the First World War, the earliest dating from May 1915. 35 of these burials are unidentified. Hospitals were again stationed at Étaples during the Second World War and the cemetery was used for burials from January 1940 until the evacuation at the end of May 1940. After the war, a number of graves were brought into the cemetery from other French burial grounds. Of the 119 Second World War burials, 38 are unidentified. Étaples Military Cemetery also contains 658 German burials and a few war graves of other nationalities. The cemetery, the largest Commission cemetery in France, was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens.8

"PERCY SHIPSTONE

Percy Shipstone was born in 1889 and was the son of Elizabeth Shipstone and the husband of Mabel who was recorded as living at 306a Radford Road, Nottingham. Percy was the manager of the Co-operative store in Woodborough which was where the present day Newsagent and Post Office is situated.

Percy served as a private with 10th Battalion Cheshire Regiment. It is possible that Percy was present at the Battle of Messines which occurred between 7th and 14th. June, 1917 as his battalion is recorded as being in the second wave of the attack. As Percy died on 23 June 1917 it is likely he was injured during this campaign. It seems certain that he died of his wounds as he is buried in Etaples Military Cemetery. This cemetery is the largest British military cemetery in France and most people buried there died of their wounds. If Percy had been wounded on the battlefield, he would have first been attended to by the field hospital and then sent to a military hospital near the coast and well out of the way of enemy guns. Those who were lucky and had received a ‘blighty’ wound would have proceeded to a port and then been returned to Britain.

Fig: 8

Unfortunately, this was not to be for Percy and he died on 23rd June 1917 at the age of 28 years. The inscription on his gravestone reads "Peace after Pain". Percy’s brother, Leonard, also died of wounds and is also buried at Etaples Military Cemetery. He was younger than Percy. Both brothers are commemorated on the war memorial at Greasley Church as the two were born and brought up in that area."11 
Resch Note*15 August 2010 Research Note: at New War Memorial, Eastwood, NTT,
Officially recognised on a new War Memorial, which was dedicated in Eastwood on 15 August 2010.
Yes, 93 years late, and shortly after I had transcribed the previous memorial...
As both Percy and Leonard B Shipstone were born in Eastwood, so their presence on the new memorial is probably right, though they are both commemorated in Greasley, on parent's grave, and in the church.

Note that Percy is also named on Woodborough's war memorial too (as he lived there briefly with hs wife) - so he gets 3 mentions (Leonard only 2).12
 
(Subject) Newspaper*January 2015  He and Percy Shipstone were the subject of a newspaper article in January 2015.

Nice article in Ilkeston & District Local History Society's journal "The Herald" by Grant Shaw (with photos)

(Grant Shaw has done a fantastic article here, the basic information could well have come from this website, so I hope they don't mind me repeating the text ... and it is for the benefit of the family of those named. I visited the graves in 2013 - before I had read the letters in the article below. For additional interest, see the link and buy Grant's book Off to War - open link in separate window).

The Shipstone Brothers

A Great War Tragedy
By Grant Shaw

Percy Shipstone was born in 1889 and his younger brother Leonard in 1896 in Eastwood. Their parents were Edward Shipstone (a colliery banksman) and his wife the former Elizabeth Boden Mellor, daughter of William Mellor, a butcher on South Street, Ilkeston. By 1911 they had five other siblings and the family was living at Nottingham Road, Giltbrook. In the 1911 census when aged 14 Leonard is stated to be an "errand boy", and Percy is a "grocer's assistant". Percy (whom the family called "Poss" went on to be Grocery Manager and Buyer at the Co-operative shop at Woodborough, Nottingham. He married Mabel Hodgkinson in April 1915.

Percy joined up on 11th December 1915. Although he joined the Sherwood Foresters he was later posted to the Cheshire Regiment and underwent training at Rugeley. By 14th May 1917 he was in France. Leonard had joined the Royal Field Artillery in October 1915; he was a tall lad, and this posed a problem as the army initially couldn't find a uniform which would fit him.

(Photo of Len in his new RFA uniform)

He underwent training at the Deepcut Camp in Hampshire and sent at least one letter home to his mother, ending with the words "Absence makes the heart grow stronger".

Posted to the 402nd Battery, RFA Len was sent to fight in France, rising slightly in rank to that of "fitter". He was wounded on 26th April 1917, probably in the battle for Vimy Ridge as his unit were attached to the Canadian Army attaching there. He was sent back to a General Hospital on the coast with severe leg injuries. On 27th April Len managed to send out one of the short pro-forma cards on which the Army had allowed the briefest of messages, saying that he had "been admitted to hospital and was going on well".

(Photo of "Poss" and Mabel Shipstone)

One of Len's friends, a Bombardier H. Eyre, wrote to his parents to reassure them:

... your son Len ... got a slight wound in the leg yesterday. Len asked me to drop you a note to tell you not to worry too much for he would soon be better. He may get to England with it and he thought ... you would have worried about him. I am a friend of your son and I hope he will soon (regain?). Please let me (know) when he get a letter to you my address is the same as his. Hoping to hear from you, I remain your son's friend, H. Eyre.

Percy managed to get leave to go and see Leonard. When he arrived on 18th May 1917, he was told that his younger brother had died earlier that day. Percy wrote a letter home to his mother and father, which has survived.

The sister told me he passed away at 12pm last night and she thought he knew he was dying. He asked for his mother, Jim and Ethel. I don't know who Jim is but most probably it would be his chum so perhaps in the course of the next few days he will be writing you ... It was the shock of my life when the sister told me the news, but she said his left leg would have been 6 or 8 inches shorter than the other had he lived, but I would sooner have him lived than died as he had done. If God spares me to come back I shall be able to tell you all the news, so cheer up dear mother and don't trouble to much he has died a noble death and I know he has gone to heaven. Someday we shall all be able to meet him and what a gathering it will be. I must now close I can't bear to write any more. I will write you more details when I get settled down a little more. So good-bye and God bless you all. Ever your loving son Poss xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Percy was 28, Leonard and Percy are buried not too far apart in the huge Commonwealth War Cemetery at Etaples. In 1917 the area around Etaples contained several hospitals which together could deal with 22,000 wounded or sick. The cemetery contains 10,771 Commonwealth burials of the First World War and is the largest CWGC cemetery in France. Both brothers are commemorated on their parents' grave in Greasley Churchyard and on the memorial screen in the church itself. Percy's widow Mabel was awarded 13 shillings and ninepence a week pension. After the war, she made the trip to France and visited Percy's grave. Mabel remarried in 1931 and died in 1973 aged 85.

My friend Michael Talbot contacted me when I was researching Off to War to give me a copy of Len's memorial notice and an amusing photo which is reprinted here. He had been clearing out his mother's house as she had moved into residential care and has no idea of how these came to be in his mother's possession as there seems to be no family connection. Although Len is not strictly an Ilkeston man, his mother was from Ilkeston, so he made it into the book. After the book was published, I was approached at a WW1 event at Erewash museum by a lady who turned out to be a great niece of Len and Percy, Christine Allen. Christine kindly invited Michael and I to go and meet her father Don who provided us with much of the information and photographs in this article. I am very grateful indeed to all of them for sharing this story.

Nottingham Woman Seek Divorce

Marriage That Took Place Secretly

Unsuccessful Petition.

Mrs Mabel Frances Ratcliff (nee Shipstone) of Lenton Hurst, Derby Road, Nottingham, yesterday petitioned before Lord Merrivale, in the Divorce Court, for a dissolution of her marriage with her husband, Mr. Mortimer Frederick Ratcliff, on the grounds of his adultery with Mrs. Margaret Sylvia Coates.
Mr. Ratcliff denied adultery, and Mrs. Coates intervened in the suit to contest the allegation. The petition was dismissed.

According to the petitioner's case, Mrs. Ratcliff, daughter of Sir Thomas Shipstone, was married secretly to Mr. Ratcliff at the Nottingham Register Office in February 1912, and there was another ceremony at All Souls' Church, Nottingham, in May of the same year. There were three children.

In May 1930, there was a separation, and Mrs. Ratcliff's allegation was that her husband had been associated with Mrs. Coates since 1929.

Mrs. Ratcliff gave evidence, and called as witnesses Mr. Arthur Powdrill, ex-inspector of Police, and an enquiry agent of Nottingham, Dr. Henry Vernon Taylor of Mansfield-Road Nottingham, and Walter Clark, chauffeur, of Clarence Street, Nottingham.

Mr. Ratcliff, the respondent, gave evidence. His case was that he never knew Mrs. Coates until January, 1931, and then he occasionally met her on terms of ordinary friendship.

Mrs. Coates, the wife of Herbert Coates, whom she married in October, 1926, also gave evidence denying the charge.

Substantial Fortune.

In the result, Lord Merrivale dismissed the petition and dismissed the intervenor for the suit.
In his judgement, his Lordship said the case was a painful one. Mrs. Ratcliff was possessed of a substantial fortune. Mr. Ratcliff discussed intimate matters with his wife in a way which greatly displeased her. A separation took place.
It appeared, however, that the wife knowing her husband's temperament, began to suspect him and desired to be rid of her marriage tie. She had her husband watched by Mr. Powdrill, but although he watched for six weeks he could report nothing except social intimacy.

Mrs Coates was a young woman whose father died when she was little more than a child, and she married Mr. Coates as his second wife. She was the mother of four of his children. Her husband had come to court to stand by her, and had stated that his wife has full confidence and he considered that the charges were not true.
Mrs. Coates had not been shown to be a woman who would yield to such proposals. Her husband said that he never had the slightest need to suspect his wife.
"I have come to the conclusion" proceeded Lord Merrivale, "that the visit of Mrs. Coates to Lenton Hurst in August, 1929, is an invention or a mistake. It did not take place. I am not even satisfied that Mr. Ratcliff was there that day.
His Lordship added that Mr. Ratcliff was a successful man of business, trusted by his father-in-law, Sir Thomas Shipstone. Mr. Coates's confidence had been well founded.

Lord Merrivale ordered that Mrs. Coates should have the costs of her defence as against Mrs. Ratcliff. "She has had charges made against her which might well have ruined her life, if not contested," he said. "Mr. Ratcliff has laid himself under suspicion, and the only order that I make about his costs is that he shall have paid out to him the costs he paid into court as security."

ENNISCORTHY (Ireland)

The Annual tea meeting in connection with the Methodist sabbath-school, Enniscorthy has been held recently in the Methodist chapel.
...
The tea tables were presided over by Mrs Shipstone
...
The names of the children who recited were as follows:
Fanny and Madge Shipstone, Master Jack Shipstone

The juvenile collectors worked very energetically-
Fanny Shipstone (grand-daughter of Rev. R. Beauchamp) £4 2s. 9d.

It could be that "the juvenile collectors", "Fanny, Jack and Madge" were all sibblings ... note absence of mythical Marion May Shipstone.
Presumably this was the children when visiting their grandparents with their mother.

Mary Ann Shipston was described as Mary A Shipston, daughter unmarried age 19, lace mender, born Bulwell, NTT.3 
Resch Noteafter 2 April 1871 Research Note:
disappears after 1871 census, rather like her father disappears after 1861 census and brother after 1871 cenusus. No suitable death index entry (even under variants). Found in no census return (81, 91, 01).
Perhaps they emigrated?3
 
Resch Notebetween 3 April 1871 and 1881 Research Note:
No further sign of this Mary Shipston.

She is not the one who married James McDonald on 6 Oct 1873 -

Maria Shipston = John Giddons 17 May 1873 Basford (age 18 father was Esau Shipston)

There is a marriage of Mary Ann Shipstone 12 Feb 1874 to James Tacey (St. Barnabus R.C., Nottm).
 
Resch Note*6 October 1873 Research Note: at St. Nicholas, Nottingham, NTT,
May have married Dec 1873 Nottingham 7b 540
Shipston, Mary Ann = MacDonald, James

Check Parish Records for parents
(Not ours - she should be daughter of Thomas & Ann of Bulwell - further evidence below shows even if I have not got the marriage).9,10
 
Resch Note1881 Research Note:
No evidence in 1881 census of such a couple, nor Mary Ann on her own.
 
Resch Note1891 Research Note: at 34 Key Street, Bulwell, NTT,
There is a James McDonald age 39, gas Hostler? born Tewkesbury, GLS, with Mary A McDonald age 41 in Bulwell with children Elizabeth 16, Ann 14, James 11, Thomas 8 & Sarah 5 Is this Mary Ann?11
 
Resch Notebetween 1 July 1897 and 30 September 1897 Research Note: at R.D. Burton
Church Broughton is in R.D. Burton.

Ref: 6b, 392 Austin, Jane

Mother's surname - Shipston!

Woah - I am good!

Hunt for Shipston = Austin
Mar 1873 7b 137 R.D. Basford - Jane Shipston = Philip Austin

So who was Jane Shipston, and how related to Mary Ann? ...

Well, 1881 shows a Jane Austin age 26 in 10 Chine St? Bulwell (wife of game keeper, gone Alma)
with children Annie age 11, John age 6, Henry W age 3
With Richard Shipston, brother age 21, elementary school teacher.

So we have:
Mary Ann Shipstone bn 1850 = James McDonald 1873
Jane Shipstone bn 1855 = Philip Austin 1873
Richard Shipston bn 1860, brother of Jane.

Mary Ann adopts a daughter of Janes' in 1901


The Mary who married James MacDonald may not have been John & Hannah's daughter ...?
 
Resch Note1901 Research Note: at 24 Key Street, Bulwell, NTT,
James McDonald age 50, gas stoker, worker, born Tuxsbury, GLS, with Mary McDonald age 52 born Nottingham, NTT with children James 21 (brickmaker), Thomas 18 (wicker basket m.), Sarah 15 (Lace mender) & Jane A? Martin? or Austen? (transcribed as Jane Austin) adopted dau age 3 born Church Broughton, DBY. Is she a child of one of their eldest daughters?11
 
Resch Note2020 Research Note:
So we have:
Mary Ann Shipstone bn 1850 = James McDonald 1873
Jane Shipstone bn 1855 (of Thomas & Ann Wilkinson - Bulwell family bn Jun 1854) = Philip Austin 1873
Richard Shipston bn 1860 (of Thomas & Ann Wilkinson - Bulwell family bn Mar 1860), brother of Jane.

Mary Ann adopts a daughter of Janes' (Jane Austin bn in 1898 Why would she do this if unconnected)?

Children of Thomas & Ann Wilkinson of Bulwell
Eliza 1845
Mary Ann 1848
George 1850
Jane 1854
Richard 1860
Sarah 1862
Elizabeth 1866

So the story of Mary Ann Shipston = James McDonald belongs to the Thomas = Ann Wilkinson Bulwell family, not the daughter of John & Hannah Fletcher.

QED.
