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 
Researchbetween 1868 and 1880 Research: at CeylonTHE 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

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.

Death*29 September 1936 Joseph William Shipston died on 29 September 1936 at Stainforth Colliery, Stainforth, YKS.16 
ResearchOctober 1936 Research: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). 
(Deceased) DC-Reg*between 1 October 1936 and 31 December 1936  His death was registered between 1 October 1936 and 31 December 1936 at R.D. Thorne

There are very few Joseph W's. Age is a little out (but deaths can be).

Thorne R.D. includes Lincolnshire and West Riding of Yorkshire, not Sheffield.14 
(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
 
(Interred) Burial*3 October 1936 He was buried on 3 October 1936 at Grave 505, Section E, Darnall Cemetery, Sheffield, YKS,
STOPSTONE, Joseph William (Miner, age 57).
Died at 418 Coleridge Road; Buried on October 3, 1936 in Unconsecrated ground;
Grave Number 505, Section E of Darnall Cemetery, Sheffield.
Remarks: from Sheffield Parish Officiating Minister C B Groves Broadhurst.


Buried with:
1902 Shipstone Ben (labourer age 37)
1906 Shipstone, Joseph (son of Joseph Shipstone age 2 months)
1927 Shipstone, Ronald (son of Ernest, age 11 hours)
1936: Stopstone, Joseph William (miner age 57)


NOTE: "died at" is probably home address - as he was killed at Stainthorpe colliery, whilst living at 29 South End Stainforth ..12 
Researchbetween 1 October 1955 and 31 December 1955 Research: 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 

Known Children of Joseph William Shipston and Elizabeth Askwith

(Groom) Marriage*between 1 July 1905 and 30 September 1905 Joseph William Shipston married Elizabeth Askwith between 1 July 1905 and 30 September 1905 at R.D. Sheffield
Ref: 9c, 918, Shipstone, Elizabeth = Shipstone, Joseph William.

Not in Yorkshire parish marriage transcripts - so probably Registry Office marriage (especially as she as marrying her husband's nephew ...)8

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 
Research*15 August 2010 Research: 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."

Circuit Intelligence:

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.9

Dear Martha,

I'm just writing a few lines to you to say that your Uncle Bingham (mother's brother) who has been in America for 50 years has died without a will.
I have had a letter from Mrs. Bloom of Sheffield, asknjg for the address of all living sons & daughters of the late William & Ann Shipstone that they can send in their claim to the estate. Kindly let me have your birth certificate at once as I am sending all the claims up to Sheffield.
Mrs. Bloom is our cousin of Bloom Bros. Ltd., Sheffield.
The sooner all the claims are sent to America, the sooner will the Estate be settled.

From your loving
Brother
James."

Mary Ann Shipston was described as Mary Ann Shipston, daughter age 9, lace mender born Bulwell, NTT.2 
(Enumerated) Cen-Househ2 April 1871 The 1871 UK Census of Mosley Street, New Basford, NTT, listed Hannah Fletcher with William Shipston, Mary Ann Shipston and Samuel Shipston.
Mary Ann Shipston was described as Mary A Shipston, daughter unmarried age 19, lace mender, born Bulwell, NTT.3 
Researchafter 2 April 1871 Research: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 
Researchbetween 3 April 1871 and 1881 Research: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). 
Research*6 October 1873 Research: 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 
Research1881 Research:No evidence in 1881 census of such a couple, nor Mary Ann on her own. 
Research1891 Research: 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 
Researchbetween 1 July 1897 and 30 September 1897 Research: at R.D. BurtonChurch 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 ...? 
Research1901 Research: 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 
Research2020 Research: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.

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.15,10,13

Anecdote*8 March 2006 From "Woodborough War memorial" web site

"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."18 
Research*15 August 2010 Research: 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).19 
(Subject) Newspaper*January 2015  He and Leonard Boden 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.

Tollerton Plane Tragedy

Young Airman Killed Instantly.

Two Somersaults.

Tragic Week-end visit to Nottingham.

A young airman was instantly killed when a machine belonging to the Nottingham Aero Club crashed into a ploughed field near Cotgrave yesterday.

He was Mr. Ronald Leslie Wing, 20, a member of a well known Nottingham family, who had taken the machine out from Tollerton Aerodrome.

Mr. Wing was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. A. Leslie Wing, of Coldwell-Road, Sheffield, and a nephew of Mr. Ronald Shipstone.

He was staying during the weekend at Reigate House, Cyprus Road, Mapperley Park.

Yesterday afternoon Mr. Wing, who was a qualified pilot, arrived at Tollerton from Nottingham, took off in a single-seater Moth, and flew at a fairly low altitude over the Cotgrave district.

Shortly after 4 o'clock he was flying at a height estimated by an eye witness as not more than 100 feet over Cotgrave Place, when he made a sharp left-hand turn, and in doing so seemed to lose flying speed. The machine rolled over twice, nose-dived, and crashed to earth within 30 yards of the main road.

On striking the ground, the plane turned two complete somersaults and was totally wrecked, the engine embedding itself into the ground some feet from the body of the machine.

People who witnessed the crash and rushed to the scene found Mr. Wing still strapped to his seat amongst the wreckage.

Eye-Witness's Story

According to eye-witnesses, the machine had been making circular flights over Cotgrave Place for some time. It had maintained a fairly low altitude, but, with the engine running normally and the machine steady in flight, nothing untoward was expected, and casual onlookers were horrified when in turn the machine suddenly rolled and crashed.
Mrs. Steward who lives in a cottage within a short distance of where the crash occurred told a "Post" representative that she was in the garden at the time. "We get used to the machines coming over from Tollerton," she said, "and take very little notice as a rule."
"The Moth machine that came over this afternoon seemed to be taking a normal course and flying steady, but the altitude seemed to me to be rather low. When the left hand turn was made, and the wing dipped, I thought at first that the pilot was going to stunt, but when the machine rolled over, and gave another roll, I realised that it was our of control. The low altitude gave the pilot no chance to recover, and the machine developed a nose dive and crashed at terrific speed."
The machine, added Mrs. Stewart, struck the ground with such a force that it bounced up again, and then turned two somersaults.

Keen Airman

Mr. Ronald Shipstone told a "Post" representative last night that his nephew was extremely keen on flying, and although he secured his certificate, only a few weeks ago, he seemed quite at home in any kind of machine. He was educated at Malvern, and was learning to be a brewer, being articled with a Falkirk firm.
He made frequent visits to Nottingham, and never lost an opportunity of going to Tollerton for a flight.
Mr. Wing was a member of the Croydon Aero Club, and some six months ago he made a daring parachute descent from an aeroplane at a height of some 4,000 feet.
The inquiry will probably be held tomorrow.

Missing Handbag

Miss Muriel Robinson, who was one of the first to go to the aid of the injured pilot, informed the "Post" to-day that when the accident happened she rushed in her car to the opposite side of the aerodrome, and left it to go to the scene of the crash. When she returned and hour and a half later she found that her handbag had been stolen.
The bag contained her Air Ministry licence and the Royal Aero Club licence, which she is particularly anxious to recover, and some two or three pounds in money. There were a large number of people about at the time.

Bulwell Section Anglers Dine

Some most interesting stories about the Nottingham tramway services were told last evening at a festive gathering of the Bulwell depot section of the Nottingham Passenger Transport Department Angling Society, held at the Olde Milton's head, Derby-road, Nottingham.

Mr. W.G. Habgood, who presided, was supported by Mr. Ronald Shipstone (a generous patron of all sports), Mr. O.K. Arnold (assistant rolling stock inspector of the Passenger Transport Department) and others. Mr. W.G. Marks (manager of the department) was unable to be present owing to family illness.

The Bulwell section yesterday fished the competition for the "Bobbie" Shipstone silver cup (given by Mr. Ronald Shipstone in memory of his little son). This was won by Mr. F.J. Bexton (for the second year in succession), Mr. W.G. Hapgood being runner-up. The match was fished in the warm waters of the canal at Trowell. Mr. Shipstone said he would give a replica of the cup to the winner each year.

During the evening, Mr. Ronald Shipstone presented to ex-inspector Frank Lowe a handsome clock subscribed to be the general public and his colleagues in the Passenger transport Service.

Mr. Ronald Shipstone.

In making the presentation, Mr. Shipstone said that no man in the public service was held in higher respect, and even affection than Mr. Lowe.

The trophy was stolen from a locked case, and he described it as a particularly mean and despicable theft. Fortunately, however, the cup had been replaced through the generosity of Mr. R. A. Shipstone.

Ronald Shipstone Cup

Presentation at Nottingham Dinner


Tributes to the public-spirited men who have assisted the Nottingham Association for the Unemployed, particularly in the matter of organising the football league, was paid at a dinner given to the finalists for the Ronald Shipstone Cup by Mr. R.A. Shipstone at the Carlton Hotel, Noel-Street, Nottingham, last night.

Mr. Shipstone presided, supported by Mrs. Shipstone, Mr. A.G. Hines (chairman, Notts. F.A.), Mr. A. Adams (vice-chairman), Professor R. Peers (chairman of the association for the unemployed), Mr. H.A. Bennett, and Mr. H. West (organiser).
The winners of the trophy were Y.M.C.A., and the runners-up Radford, and the members of the winning team were presented by the donor with engraves cigarette cases.
In submitting the toast of "The Notts. F.A.", Mr. West expressed appreciation for the Unemployed by the Notts. F.A. in regard to referees, and in other directions. The attendance at the semi-finals and final had been disappointing and consequently the Unemployed Football League was in financial difficulties, and they were grateful for the assistance granted, and also to Mr. Adams who acted as chairman of the League.
Mr. Adams, in reply, referred to the two referees proposal, and said that he did not consider it a fair trial to test it at practice matches. He had an open mind on the matter. If it was a success it would be welcomed by those clubs who could afford two referees. It would not apply to amateur football.

Benevolent fund aim.

Turning to the subject of the Notts F.A. Benevolent Fund, Mr. Adams stated that it was being very well supported. They were aiming at £200 this season, and were within £30 of that sum. He hoped that as the result of the collection at the Notts. match this week the total aimed would be reached.

The toast of "The National Association for Unemployed Workers" was submitted by Mr. H.A. Quinn, who paid a tribute to the work of Prof. Peers.

Prof. Peers, in reply, said that when the association was started five years ago he little dreamed how it would develop. Whenever anything required to be done there had always been generous citizens who had put their shoulder to the wheel. Workshops had been provided and equipped. It was a tribute to the members of the association that they had been had any disagreement with the people whose premises they occupied.

Many people had helped them, and it was inspiring to know that there were people of the calibre and kindness of heart of Mr. Shipstone.

The toast of "The Chairman" which was submitted by Mr. H.A. Bennett was accorded musical honours. Mr. Shipstone in reply, recounted an interesting anecdote of his playing days when the referee (Dr. Tinsley Lindley) called the players together and said he wanted no ankle tapping or hooking, but plenty of honest charging, and added "I want to blow the whistle for the start, half-time, the resumption, and the finish, and no more but for goals."

The speaker went on that professional football was a career for the young man who would look after himself. Barring accidents he should have 10 or 15 years in front of him, and in that time should receive the benefits. He should be able to save half of his earnings, and retire with £1,000 or £1,300.

All the young men needed was coaching. Many young men had left Nottingham because of the lack of it. "We could fill the grounds if we had local lads playing for our teams, and it is all a question of coaching them," he declared amidst applause.50

Head of Leading Brewery - Death of Mr. Ronald Shipstone

Mr. Ronald Shipstone, joint managing director of J. Shipstone and Sons Ltd., brewers, New Basford, died today at his residence, Lucknow House, Lucknow Avenue, Nottingham. He would have attained his 64th birthday this month, and had been ill about a month. The cause of death was pneumonia.
Mr. Shipstone was "Ronnie" to an unusually wide circle of friends. No one will ever know the extent of his financial assistance to organisations and individuals. He never sought the limelight, in fact, he disliked publicity. It was only in a roundabout way that one heard of his benefactions, long after they had been made.
Mr. Shipstone was one of a family of seven. His uncle was the late Sir Thomas Shipstone, and his grandfather founded the brewery firm in 1852. Educated at Nottingham High School, he left there to enter the brewery business, and became brewer for several firms. For some time he was with Plymouth Breweries Ltd,for whom he became head brewer.
Upon the outbreak of the Great War he promptly volunteered for service and after training with the 9th Batt. King's Royal Rifles was transferred to the 4th Rifle Brigade, and proceeded to Salonika on active service in 1916.
During operations on the Balkan front he sustained a gunshot wound in the right arm which eventually had to be amputated.
Upon the death of his father Mr. Shipstone joined the firm of J. Shipstone and Sons Ltd., in 1922, and two years later was elected a member of the board of directors, ultimately becoming joint managing director with his brother, Mr. James Henry Shipstone.
In politics, Mr. Shipstone was a staunch Conservative. He filled the office of hon. treasurer of the City of Nottingham Conservative Party, while at Plymouth he was chairman of the Stonehouse Conservative Association.

Notts. County F.C. President

But it was from the realm of football that Mr. Shipstone derived one of the greatest pleasures in life. In his younger days he was a good amateur player, and later he became a fine organiser. He helped many clubs financially. When Lord Belper resigned the presidency of Notts. County Football Club in 1940, after holding that position for 10 years, Mr. Shipstone then a life member was appointed to the position.
As a boy he played for Notts. Magdala (now Nottinghamshire F.C.), and helped the formation of the Midland Amateur Alliance, at that time being a player official of Magdala Amateurs, a very successful offspring of Notts. Magdala. He was hon. secretary for several seasons. Mr. Shipstone was also a cricketer, and when he lost his arm he became a tennis player.
As Commandant of Nottingham City Special Constabulary since February 1939, he was extremely popular, and in 1943 was awarded the Special Constabulary Long Service Medal. He did everything he could to foster the movement, and was the donor of several trophies. In Freemasonry, he was a Past Master of the De Vere Lodge.64

He was president of the Notts. County Football Club, which will lose an ardent supporter by his death. in younger days he played for the Notts. County Reserves.

Conservatives' Loss

Another organisation that loses a keen worker in the Nottingham Conservative Association. He had been honorary treasurer of the organisation for the past 15 years, and he always made himself responsible for the financial health of the association.

In the last war he had the misfortune to lose an arm. He was a rifleman with the King's Royal Rifles and the Rifle brigade and saw service in the Middle East, particularly in Salonica.

He was a governor of the Nottingham high School, where he was educated, and was at one time president of the Old Boys' Association.

He leaves a widow. His son Bobbie, and only child, died about 12 years ago.

"Grievous Loss"

"Mr. Shipstone possessed qualities that endeared him to all who served under and with him." said the Chief Constable (Captain A. Popkess) in a tribute to his memory. "During his period of command the special constabulary carried out most important police duties in the city.

"His loss will not only be a grievous to the city police but the vacancy will be difficult to fill. His kindness, understanding and humanity will be long remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him."65

£1,000 each to
Mary Shipstone (which one? - I have a theory)
Evengeline Bristow
and
Horace Priestley (Mr. Priestley also attended family funeral(s). Appears in 1939 born 1875 an married to Clara Wright in 1899)

Mary Shipstone is almost certainly the wife of James Leslie. There are no other "Mary Shipstones" in the family at this time.



£500 each to his nephews and niece,
Leslie Bruce and Madge;

At this date he has the following living nephews and nieces in 1945:
James Henry had
- Marjorie Birch (probably the "Madge")
- James Leslie Shipstone (named his executor anyway, and with a somewhat larger inheritance)
Edith Mary had:
- Gwynedd Mary King (nee Morley)
James Hugh Gordon had:
- James Warwick Shipstone
- Pamela M Shipstone (soon to be Thompson)

Perhaps those mentioned were children of his wife's Dorrie' siblings?

In Memoriam


SHIPSTONE - Ronnie. November 17th 1944. Happy thoughts of a good friend, whose one ambition was to help lame dogs and bring sunshine. "Good Old Warrior" Ronnie, whose name will ever be blessed and remembered.76
 
(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.77 
(Mentioned) Newspaper3 February 1958 He was mentioned in a newspaper article on 3 February 1958. Named as brother of James Henry Shipstone, and became joint managing directors of Shipstone & Sons "nearly 20 years ago", in the announcement of the death of James Henry Shipstone.
