The following article appeared in the
"Daily Mail" of 28 January 1930:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Pepperell,
Massachusetts - When Mr. John Henry Fagge, the occupier of an
unpretentious |
|
|
|
cottage here, heard last week of his elevation
to the British baronetage through the death of |
|
|
|
his brother, Sir John Charles Fagge, at Dover
on January 17 last, his first thought was to inform |
|
|
|
his daughter. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Miss Lucy Harriet Fagge has, since the death
of her mother, lived with her grandmother in |
|
|
|
Boston. Her father sent for her and explained
to her just what the change would mean. She was |
|
|
|
delighted for his sake, but showed a little
alarm as to her future in another land. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"I have only been part of the way through
the grammar school," she said. "Aren't daughters of |
|
|
|
titled men supposed to be very wise?" Miss
Fagge, it is stated, worked in a factory for month |
|
|
|
last autumn in order to bring a little aid to
her father. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The new baronet said today that it was an
advertisement in a London paper that brought him |
|
|
|
from England to the United States in 1887, when
he was 19 years old. The advertisement |
|
|
|
described Florida as "The Land of
Perpetual Flowers." His father paid the passage and gave him |
|
|
|
£5
pocket-money, but Florida did not come up to his expectations. After working
in a citrus |
|
|
|
grove for 30s a
month he decided to move elsewhere. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"I went to Savannah," said Sir John,
"and worked as a clerk in the goods department of the |
|
|
|
Savannah
railway. After a brief stay there I continued my travels until I arrived in
Boston, |
|
|
|
where I worked as a stable boy and groom."
Later he became a hotel clerk and settled in |
|
|
|
|
Pepperell in 1895. He has paid two visits to
England.' |

"The Daily Mail" of 22 October 1930:- |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The secret marriage of Sir John Fagge, the
odd-job man who returned home from America to |
|
|
|
Dover in March to claim a baronetcy, to Mrs.
Murdoch, a wealthy widow, of Boston, United |
|
|
|
States on October 15 was revealed yesterday. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'While Sir John, who is 61, and has been
newspaper boy, cowboy, waiter, and shoelace maker |
|
|
|
in Pepperell, Massachusetts, came to England in
March, on finding himself heir to the family |
|
|
|
title, he met in the liner Mrs. Murdoch, a
Staffordshire woman, daughter of Mr. Goss, who |
|
|
|
founded the Goss China Works, and widow of a
wealthy American manufacturer. The friendship |
|
|
|
then
made resulted in the wedding, and last Saturday Sir John and Lady Fagge
sailed for |
|
|
|
|
America in the liner Scythia to make their home
in Boston. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A nephew of Lady Fagge said yesterday:
"The wedding took place in St. Michael's Church, |
|
|
|
Stafford, and was a complete secret. No
relatives were present. Sir John and my aunt each |
|
|
|
have a grown-up daughter. My aunt was very
beautiful in her youth and was known as the Belle |

of Stoke." |

The Hobart (Tasmania) "Mercury" of 10
July 1940 contains the following article headed "Dream |
|
|
|
Romance":- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A "dream romance" such as many girls
have pondered over came true last month for Miss Ivy |
|
|
|
Frier, a charming 27-year old domestic servant,
of Newington, Kent. She was married very |
|
|
|
simply in the village church at Sittingbourne
to Sir John Fagge, a 29-year old farm labourer who |
|
|
|
unexpectedly inherited a baronetcy from an
uncle in America a few weeks before the wedding |
|
|
|
took place. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Practically the whole of the village turned
out. They saw the bride, better known to all as "Ivy," |
|
|
|
leave
her parents' cottage on the arm of her father, a labourer, and later emerge
from the |
|
|
|
church, on the arm of her bridegroom as Lady
Fagge, member of a family whose history fills |
|
|
|
nearly a whole page in Debrett. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'She was attended by two sisters and a cousin
of the bridegroom as bridesmaids. Twenty of the |
|
|
|
Faversham A[uxiliary] F[ire] S[ervice], of
which the bridegroom is a voluntary member, formed a |
|
|
|
guard of honour outside the church. They
cheered Sir John and Lady Fagge as they dashed into |
|
|
|
a hired car, which drove them to a reception at
the Women's Institute. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'John and Ivy, as friends call them, have
courted for four years. Two or three nights a week Sir |
|
|
|
John cycled 15 miles to see his bride, and
neither had any idea when they fixed the date a year |
|
|
|
ago
that they would become titled people. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Ivy has been in domestic service ever
leaving school," the bride's mother told the News of the |
|
|
|
World. She and her husband have a lovely little
house, and she has spent her spare time getting |
|
|
|
it ready since she left her last situation." |

Sir William Fairbairn, 1st baronet [UK 1869] |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following information on the life of Sir
William Fairbairn appeared in the "Sydney Mail and |
|
|
|
New South Wales Advertiser" of 12
September 1891:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'There is no name more honoured in the realms
of industrial science than that of Sir William |
|
|
|
Fairbairn, the intimate friend of George
Stephenson, the famous railway engineer, and the |
|
|
|
inventor of the iron tubular bridge which spans
the Menai Straits, and is justly regarded as one |
|
|
|
of the great mechanical wonders of modern
times. Sir William and his brother, Sir Peter Fairbairn, |
|
|
|
of Leeds, were each, at the time of death, at
the head of large industrial establishments, |
|
|
|
|
representing
a capital of many thousand pounds, and affording employment to
considerable |
|
|
|
numbers of skilled mechanics; yet when they
made their start in life they possessed no advant- |
|
|
|
ages which are not enjoyed by an ordinary
artisan in Australia. Their parents were in extremely |
|
|
|
poor circumstances, and when William Fairbairn,
at the age of 14, succeeded in obtaining work |
|
|
|
as a mason's labourer, his scanty earnings
proved a welcome addition to the family funds. But |
|
|
|
the
assistance was short-lived. When only a few days at this toilsome employment,
William |
|
|
|
suffered a dire misfortune. By the clumsy
management of a companion in carrying a handbarrow, |
|
|
|
a heavy stone fell on his leg, inflicting a
deep wound, and throwing him out of work for nearly |
|
|
|
three months. During this period the family
were brought to the verge of starvation: but at the |
|
|
|
last moment William's father obtained charge of
a small farm belonging to a colliery. He was |
|
|
|
enabled to secure William employment as a
coal-cart driver, in which position he remained for |
|
|
|
some time, when he was bound apprentice to the
colliery engineer, starting with 5s a week as |
|
|
|
wages. Here he employed his leisure time in the
acquisition of useful knowledge, especially |
|
|
|
arithmetics,
mensuration, mathematics, and trigonometry, devoting his spare pence to
the |
|
|
|
purchase of the necessary text books. His
attention and abilities attracted the notice of his |
|
|
|
employers, and at last, as a kind of promotion,
he was removed from the workshop to take |
|
|
|
charge of the colliery steam-engine and pumps. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'While thus engaged, William made the
acquaintance of George Stephenson, who had the charge |
|
|
|
of
an engine at Willington Ballast Hill, only a mile or two from where young
Fairbairn was |
|
|
|
|
employed. Stephenson, who had recently married,
was somewhat pinched in the means of live- |
|
|
|
lihood, and to enable him to earn a few extra
shillings, William frequently took charge of the |
|
|
|
engine, while George took a turn at heaving
ballast out of the colliery vessels. At the close of |
|
|
|
his apprenticeship William, who was now 22,
went to London to obtain employment under |
|
|
|
|
[George] Rennie [1791-1866], who was then
engaged in the work of building Waterloo Bridge, |
|
|
|
but
the Millwrights' Trade Society, which assumed the right of determining who
should be |
|
|
|
employed, would not allow work to be given to a
non-unionist. William Fairbairn was, in conse- |
|
|
|
quence,
reduced to severe privations, but his spirit was in nowise daunted.
Becoming |
|
|
|
|
acquainted with other non-unionists, they
formed themselves into an association of "free and |
|
|
|
independent labourers," and by their
assistance he obtained employment at a ropery, where he |
|
|
|
remained for about two years. William was next
found at Dublin, where he was employed for |
|
|
|
some time in the construction of nail-making
machinery, after which he went to Manchester, |
|
|
|
where he obtained work which enabled him, in
the course of two years, to save £20, on the |
|
|
|
strength of which he married the daughter of a
Morpeth farmer. With the responsibilities of |
|
|
|
married life came the necessity for increased
industrial exertion, and in due course William found |
|
|
|
himself entering into partnership with a
mechanic named Lillie as a millwright. The two men had |
|
|
|
very little money, but plenty of brains, and
when they saw their chances they were not slow in |
|
|
|
utilising
them. Undertaking some works in connection with the cotton manufacturing
industry, |
|
|
|
they performed their share of the contracts so
satisfactorily that they were entrusted with the |
|
|
|
works of a new cotton-mill for Mr. Kennedy,
partner in the firm of McConnel and Kennedy, then |
|
|
|
the largest cotton-spinners in the United
Kingdom. Their success brought further contracts, and |
|
|
|
at the end of five years the two young men
found themselves possessed of plant and tools |
|
|
|
valued at over £2000. Large and commodious
premises were erected, and contracts for gigantic |
|
|
|
works were undertaken in England, Scotland, and
Switzerland. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Fairbairn," says Dr. Chambers,
"lived at a time when the world was startled with the marvels of |
|
|
|
steam traction on railways, and he fancied that
a similar means of propulsion could be adopted |
|
|
|
on canals. In this, after several costly
experiments, he found himself mistaken, and the drainage |
|
|
|
of money was so great as to lead to a
dissolution of his partnership with Mr. Lillie. Now, he |
|
|
|
rested entirely on his own energies and
resources, but, strong in self-reliance, he had no fear |
|
|
|
of the result. He turned his attention to a new
branch of engineering, that of iron-shipbuilding. |
|
|
|
For a time he had two establishments, one in
London, the other in Manchester, and collectively |
|
|
|
employed two thousand hands. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"In 1835 he began his famous
investigations into the strength of iron, as regards girders, beams, |
|
|
|
pillars, and so forth, his experiments being of
much scientific and mechanical importance, and |
|
|
|
influencing very largely the work of railway
construction, leading to iron bridges being more |
|
|
|
largely used in place of those of stone or
brick. Indeed, it may be said of William Fairbairn that |
|
|
|
his researches aided largely in the development
of the railway system, by indicating the manner |
|
|
|
in which iron could be most efficiently and
economically introduced into the work of construct- |
|
|
|
ion. About the same time, owing to a strike of
boilermakers at Manchester, he invented the |
|
|
|
method of riveting the plates of boilers by
machinery, which at once superseded hand-labour. |
|
|
|
No loner were people assailed with the din of a
hundred hammers riveting together iron plates; |
|
|
|
the machine of Fairbairn's invention
substituted a rapid, noiseless, and comparatively cheap |
|
|
|
method of construction." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'There is no need to continue the history of
William Fairbairn. His business steadily increased, as |
|
|
|
did that of his brother at Leeds, and at last,
having become wealthy, famous, and powerful, |
|
|
|
they both had their merits and services
formally recognised by the Queen bestowing upon each |
|
|
|
the rank of baronet, an honour little dreamt of
by them when earning their bread by the sweat |
|
|
|
of their brows, and having to be content with a
few shillings a week. [The statement that both |
|
|
|
men were created baronets is incorrect - while
William was created a baronet, his brother Peter |
|
|
|
was merely knighted.] |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Dr.
Chambers, who was personally acquainted with the two Fairbairns says:
"From both |
|
|
|
|
brothers
we learned a variety of details relevant to their respective professional
pursuits, and |
|
|
|
on all occasions were struck with the strong
practical common sense and tact which had guided |
|
|
|
them through life. From the humblest possible
circumstances, each in his own way had attained |
|
|
|
distinction by the exercise of sound judgment
and persevering industry connected with the |
|
|
|
manufacture of machinery. The lesson which
their lives afforded was this: That success in life |
|
|
|
is less generally due to genius than to
indomitable diligence along with integrity of character." |

Sir Arthur Henderson Fairbairn, 3rd baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir Arthur, who was known as the "deaf and
dumb baronet," did not allow his afflictions to |
|
|
|
adversely impact upon his life. The following
appreciation of his good works appeared in 'The |
|
|
|
Washington Post' of 29 May 1904:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'At the recent entertainment at the
St.Saviour's Social Club, all of whose members are deaf |
|
|
|
mutes, the central figure was Sir Arthur
Fairbairn, the "deaf and dumb baronet," as he is widely |
|
|
|
known all over England. Possessed of an
abundant fortune, a keen and cultivated intelligence, |
|
|
|
and
rare artistic tastes, Sir Arthur would hardly have been deemed a selfish man
had he |
|
|
|
|
devoted his means to getting all the enjoyment
possible out of an existence in which he is |
|
|
|
doomed to play a silent part. But his own sore
affliction has only stimulated him to devote his |
|
|
|
time and means to ameliorating the lot of those
who similarly stricken, and have in addition the |
|
|
|
burden of poverty to contend with. And that
this work has brought him happiness in far greater |
|
|
|
measure than would have come to him had he
simply used his wealth to minister to his own |
|
|
|
pleasures no one who notes his bright, animated
countenance, his sparkling eye, and, above all, |
|
|
|
his
cheery smile, can doubt. In his philanthropic labor he is ably seconded by
his sister, Miss |
|
|
|
Constance Fairbairn, who is also deaf and dumb. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'To enumerate all the associations for
promoting the welfare of the deaf with which Sir Arthur |
|
|
|
is
connected would require a long catalogue. The various offices he fills in
them are no |
|
|
|
|
sinecures.
They entail a vast amount of correspondence and much travelling. Any
invention, |
|
|
|
idea,
or suggestion which promises increased educational facilities or other
advantages for |
|
|
|
those who dwell in silence receives his prompt
attention and support, if good for anything. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Although he cannot talk, there are few men in
England who "address" more public meetings |
|
|
|
in various parts of the country, his audiences
being, like himself, mutes. With his fingers he can |
|
|
|
"speak" as rapidly, and, judging by
the effect on adepts in sign language, quite as eloquently |
|
|
|
and persuasively as many who have a wide
reputation for oratory. No important meeting of the |
|
|
|
deaf is deemed complete without a
"speech" from the baronet. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'His home in Brighton reveals his many sided
culture. Beautiful pictures hang on the walls. The |
|
|
|
library is well stocked with books. Many rare
works of art and historic mementoes adorn the |
|
|
|
various apartments. Travel is one of his
passions. He has been all over Europe and has visited |
|
|
|
the principal cities in the United States. His
collections of bric-a-brac are largely the result of |
|
|
|
these peregrinations. Some of the objects were
discovered in the slums of Paris, Christiana |
|
|
|
[i.e. Oslo] or New York. A lock of the great
Napoleon's hair, finely framed, accompanied by |
|
|
|
three autograph documents attesting its
genuineness, was bought by Sir Arthur in a mean, |
|
|
|
little back street in Paris for 6 louis. It
stands near to an exquisite vase, a gift from Emperor |
|
|
|
William the First, who in his old age
humiliated the descendants of the man who wore that hair. |
|
|
|
This
superb vase, with its artful Cupids upholding a female form, was the Kaiser's
present to |
|
|
|
Sir Arthur's father who was chairman of the
great Manchester exhibition of 1862. Another large |
|
|
|
vase was the gift of the third Napoleon, as
well as an exquisite tea service, each piece marked |
|
|
|
with the imperial cipher and crown. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir Arthur is now fifty-two years old. He
enjoys vigorous health, which may be attributed to |
|
|
|
the fact that despite the great amount of hard
work he does, he finds time to indulge his tastes |
|
|
|
as a sportsman with the rod and gun. Cycling is
another form of recreation of which he is very |
|
|
|
fond.' |

Sir Charles Arthur Fairlie-Cuninghame, 11th
baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir Charles committed suicide in December 1897.
The following report of the subsequent |
|
|
|
|
inquest appeared in the London 'Daily News' of
15 January 1898:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'With reference to the death of Sir Charles
Fairlie-Cuninghame which was announced some days |
|
|
|
ago, it appears that Sir Charles committed
suicide at a London hotel. The inquest was held a |
|
|
|
few days later at St.Martin's Town Hall, by Mr.
Troutbeck, the Westminster enquirer. That |
|
|
|
gentleman was seen yesterday afternoon by a
representative of the London Press Agency who |
|
|
|
states that the evidence given at the enquiry
was to the following effect. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mr Alfred Edward Fairlie-Cuninghame, of
Dawlish, Devonshire, identified the body as that of his |
|
|
|
brother, who he last saw alive about a year
ago. He had no idea where the deceased had been |
|
|
|
living since then. He was parted from his wife. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Emily Mary Peacock, chambermaid at the Hotel
Victoria, stated that the deceased baronet had |
|
|
|
resided
at the hotel for a week prior to his death. In the evening of December 26th,
at about |
|
|
|
seven o'clock she heard a noise proceeding from
his room. The noise was like the slamming of a |
|
|
|
door. She heard a second noise shortly after
the first and a third noise a few seconds later. |
|
|
|
Becoming suspicious she went to the door and
called out, but receiving no answer she entered |
|
|
|
the
room and found that the inner door was locked. She opened it with her master
key, and in |
|
|
|
the room saw Sir Charles huddled up in a
corner. There was a wound in his head. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mr. Arthur Guest, manager of the hotel,
deposed that the deceased baronet had frequently |
|
|
|
stayed there. Nothing peculiar had been noticed
about him. At about 6.30 on the evening of |
|
|
|
Sunday, Dec. 26th, witness saw him in the
smoking-room, and he then seemed to be all right. |
|
|
|
He was informed of the noises heard in Sir
Charles's room, and of his being found in the corner |
|
|
|
as described. He went into the room himself,
and found the deceased with a wound in his head. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Dr.
G.E. Haslip, of Northumberland-avenue, said he was called to Hotel Victoria
to the |
|
|
|
|
deceased. When he arrived Sir Charles was dead.
He had a wound in his head, and there was |
|
|
|
blood about. The deceased was sitting in front
of the looking-glass when he shot himself. Death |
|
|
|
was due to a bullet wound. The bullet had
flattened against the opposite side of the skull to |
|
|
|
which it had entered. To all appearances the
wound had been self-inflicted. There appeared to |
|
|
|
have been two shots fired. One bullet was found
in the head, and another had in all probability |
|
|
|
been
fired up the chimney to test the weapon. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A letter, identified by Mr. Alfred Edward
Fairlie-Cuninghame [as] being in the deceased's hand- |
|
|
|
writing, was produced. It expressed regret to
the hotel authorities for any annoyance and |
|
|
|
inconvenience he was about to cause them, and
requested that his relatives and Lady |
|
|
|
|
Cuninghame
might be communicated with. It also gave directions for the handing over of
certain |
|
|
|
of
his personal effects; further, that his body should not be taken to a public
mortuary. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The jury returned a verdict of suicide, adding
that there was no evidence to show the state |
|
|
|
of the deceased's mind at the time.' |

Sir Hussey Burgh Fairlie-Cuninghame, 14th
baronet [NS 1630] |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir Hussey died following a tractor accident in
1939. The following report appeared in the "Glen |
|
|
|
Innes Examiner' of 9 February 1939:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Manilla
[in northern New South Wales] and district was shocked yesterday afternoon to
hear of |
|
|
|
the tragic death of Sir Hussey
Fairlie-Cuninghame, farmer and grazier of Keepit. Only a few days |
|
|
|
ago he returned from a visit to Sydney. He was
working a tractor hauling pine logs to a sawing |
|
|
|
plant. Some of these logs were across a gully
and Sir Hussey took the tractor up the gully in |
|
|
|
order to go up the bank at a shallow point. On
a stump near where the accident occurred are |
|
|
|
definite marks of the tractor having struck it.
Whether this was the cause of the accident is not |
|
|
|
known but a few yards farther on the tractor
either slid or turned too sharply, lost its balance, |
|
|
|
and turned over. A man named Gus Wheeler was
working about 200 yards away and saw the |
|
|
|
tractor turn over. He hurried to the scene and
without difficulty extracted Sir Hussey from the |
|
|
|
machine.
Deceased had been thrown clear except that his foot had been held by a handle
on |
|
|
|
the tractor. He was alive when removed but died
shortly afterwards. The whole of his right side |
|
|
|
was terribly crushed and this was the cause of
death. There were slight marks on the head but |
|
|
|
these were not of a serious nature. It is not
sure what caused the crushing injuries, but it is |
|
|
|
apparent that after this happened deceased was
freed from the weight of the machine. |
|
|
|
|
Tamworth ambulance and Dr. Raysen were
immediately called to the scene of the accident, and |
|
|
|
the body was conveyed to Manilla morgue. An
inquest will be held. |

Sir
Hussey Burgh Fairlie-Cuninghame was the 14th baronet of Robertland, Ayrshire,
and |
|
|
|
|
succeeded his father, the late Sir William
Fairlie-Cuninghame, Bart of Windemere, Young, New |
|
|
|
South Wales, in 1929. The family descended from
the Hon. William Cuninghame, second son of |
|
|
|
the first Earl of Glencairn and the baronetcy
dates from November 25, 1603. The late Sir Hussey |
|
|
|
was born at Mansfield, Victoria, and was in his
49th year. He served in the Great War as a |
|
|
|
|
gunner and later as a lieutenant in the A.I.F.
from 1916 to 1919.' |

|
Falconer sat in the Irish House of Commons for
Athy between 1791 and 1797 and co. Dublin |
|
|
|
between 1797 and 1800. After the Union, he
represented co.Dublin from 1801 to 1807, and |
|
|
|
co. Carlow from 1812-1818. After he left
parliament in 1818, he moved firstly to Paris and then |

to Naples,
where he lived in a state of abject poverty. |

|
|
A letter published in the "Morning
Chronicle" of 8 October 1824 states:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir Frederick Falconer, an Irish gentleman,
who has been resident here for several years, put a |
|
|
|
period to his existence in a melancholy manner
on Tuesday last, the 14th instant. Ever since |
|
|
|
his arrival here, in 1819, he has been
labouring under great pecuniary embarrassments; he had |
|
|
|
been repeatedly arrested for debts, and as
frequently almost immediately liberated by the |
|
|
|
kindness
and generosity of the English residents with whom he was acquainted. A
rapid |
|
|
|
|
succession
of these circumstances, and his own unpardonable imprudence, at length
tired |
|
|
|
even the warmest-hearted and the best
intentioned of his friends, who, one by one, had |
|
|
|
|
refused
to lend him any further assistance. Last week he was on the point of being
carried to |
|
|
|
prison for the trifling sum of fifty-six
ducats, and was relieved by a Neapolitan Nobleman, to |
|
|
|
whom he was already deeply indebted. On Tuesday
morning, the Huissiers and the Juge de |
|
|
|
Paix surprised him in bed, at his lodgings at
the Riviera de Chiaja, and presented him with a |
|
|
|
fresh writ for a debt of six hundred ducats. He
requested them to wait while he dressed; they |
|
|
|
retired into another room accordingly, and
after waiting more than a quarter of an hour they |
|
|
|
re-entered his chamber, and found him in bed
with the sheet, stained with blood, drawn over |
|
|
|
his head; they removed it, and found him dead!
His throat was dreadfully mangled; he had |
|
|
|
repeated the stroke three times; the razor with
which he had committed the deed lay beside |
|
|
|
him.
The judicial authorities, at the instance of Mr. Hamilton, our Minister, were
put under |
|
|
|
arrest on account of some irregularities,
inconsistent with the treaty with this country, which |
|
|
|
they had committed in the arrest; they were,
however, admitted to bail after a day's |
|
|
|
|
confinement. The wife of the unfortunate man,
Lady Falconer, who is connected with some of |
|
|
|
the first families of Ireland, has had the most
humane attentions paid to her. The body was |
|
|
|
deposited yesterday evening in a garden, near
the Orto Botanico, the only spot in Naples |
|
|
|
|
allotted to the burial of Protestants. This
melancholy catastrophe has excited a deep interest |
|
|
|
in
the societies of this city, among which Sir Frederick and his Lady had long
mixed in an |
|
|
|
|
intimate manner.' |

The apparent assumption of the Fenwick
baronetcy in the mid-19th century |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
During the middle years of the 19th century,
the baronetcy of Fenwick appears to have been |
|
|
|
wrongfully assumed, if any credence can be
placed in the following report which appeared in |
|
|
|
'The Belfast News-Letter' of 21 February 1861.
The report appears to have been reprinted |
|
|
|
from the 'Chicago Democrat.' The story would
make a good plot for a melodrama. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In the year 1837 or 38, Sir John N. Fenwick,
of Fenwick Hall, England, a wealthy nobleman, |
|
|
|
married Clara Seymour, the daughter of a poor
clergyman, who lived on the Cumberland Hills, at |
|
|
|
whose house Sir John had been detained for some
weeks by an accident received while upon a |
|
|
|
hunting excursion. The father of Clara died a
short time before her marriage, and she brought |
|
|
|
to her husband no dower but her beauty and her
love. The wedded pair made the tour of the |
|
|
|
Continent, and soon after their return to
England Lady Fenwick presented her lord with a son |
|
|
|
and heir, who was named John North Fenwick, and
who became the heir-presumptive to his |
|
|
|
father's title and
wealth. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir
John had no other relatives save two sisters, who resided with him, and who,
while |
|
|
|
|
pretending
to approve of the match he had made and to love and esteem his beautiful
young |
|
|
|
wife,
were in reality scheming against her and determined upon ruining her. But
their |
|
|
|
|
machinations produced no effect, save to
occasionally render Sir John morose and cold towards |
|
|
|
his wife, until the boy had reached the age of
seventeen years. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Then
suddenly, one day, these two sisters, in the presence of Sir John and Lady
Clara, |
|
|
|
|
accused
the latter of the most horrible crimes, and declared that she had herself
confessed |
|
|
|
that her son was the fruit of an illicit amour
between herself and a certain French Count, to |
|
|
|
whom Sir John had introduced her at Venice
during the honeymoon. Stunned by these terrible |
|
|
|
and unexpected accusations, Lady Clara swooned;
and her husband, completely carried away |
|
|
|
by passion, and convinced that the story told
him by his sisters was true, ordered her and the |
|
|
|
boy to be expelled from the hall, and
immediately hurried to the sea-board and embarked for |
|
|
|
the Continent. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The shock had rendered the unhappy wife and
mother insane; and in this condition her sisters- |
|
|
|
in-law caused her to be removed from the hall
and conveyed to a neighbouring village, where |
|
|
|
she remained for some time, on the very brink
of the grave. Her only friend, during this sad |
|
|
|
period, was a certain Captain Edward O'Neil, of
the Enniskillen Dragoons, at that time quartered |
|
|
|
near
Fenwick Hall, and who had seen Lady Clara often enough to love her. He nursed
her |
|
|
|
through her illness, and when her health and
reason had returned, besought her to accompany |
|
|
|
him to his home in Ireland, and share it with him. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'For a long while she resisted his appeals, but
finally, ascertaining that her husband had taken |
|
|
|
steps to obtain a divorce from her, and that
Captain O'Neil was her only friend, she consented. |
|
|
|
They went to Galway, Ireland, where they were
married privately, and took up their residence. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Her
son, in the meantime, manifested a desire to travel, and his mother furnished
him with |
|
|
|
£1,000, which she obtained by the sale of her
jewels, and placed him on board the steamer |
|
|
|
Adriatic, with instructions to sail to New
York, and from thence to Texas, to visit a cousin of |
|
|
|
hers named Somerville, who resided there as a
wealthy planter. Without any misfortune, our |
|
|
|
youth arrived at his cousin's ranch, situated
on the frontier of Texas, where he was cordially |
|
|
|
received, and made welcome. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'His cousin had a daughter named Estelle, of
about his own age, and very handsome, with whom |
|
|
|
he fell in love, and in whose society he passed
six months. But on one fatal night the ranch was |
|
|
|
attacked by a party of Comanche Indians, his
cousin and Estelle were murdered, and he |
|
|
|
|
carried off into captivity. He remained a
captive for three months, when, seizing a favourable |
|
|
|
opportunity and a tomahawk, he killed the
Indian with whom he was, and made his escape to |
|
|
|
Brownsville,
Texas. Here he met three Texas drovers , who were about to start with an |
|
|
|
|
immense
drove of cattle to Carlinville, Manoupin County, Illinois. Rendered destitute
by being |
|
|
|
deprived of everything by the marauders, he
gladly accepted their offer and went. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Arriving at Carlinville, he determined to
return to England, and boldly pronounce his rights. |
|
|
|
Accordingly, he took the cars for the East.
While travelling on the New York and Erie Railroad he |
|
|
|
fell
in with a noble-hearted farmer, named Preston F. Sappington, of Point Isabel,
Clinton |
|
|
|
County, who induced him to return with him to
Clinton, for the purpose of studying law with Mr. |
|
|
|

'Our hero, however, disliked the profession,
and was employed in the office of the Clinton Herald |
|
|
|
by Mr. Sackett, and lately by Mr. Stransbury.
While here during the October term of the Circuit |
|
|
|
Court, he stated his case to Hon. Abraham
Lincoln, who immediately wrote to the British Consul |
|
|
|
at Chicago. Two days afterwards the British
Consul, Hon. Mr. Wilkins, arrived in Clinton. After |
|
|
|
listening to Fenwick's story, and having a
consultation with Messrs. Lincoln and Stransbury, he |
|
|
|
took him to Chicago and employed him in his office. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Meantime the Consul wrote to England, making
inquiries in regard to Sir John Fenwick, but could |
|
|
|
only hear that he was travelling on the
Continent, but could not ascertain the precise spot. The |
|
|
|
Prince
of Wales while travelling in this country [in 1860], it will be recollected,
stopped in |
|
|
|
Chicago.
Here the Consul introduced Fenwick to the Prince, who became convinced of the
truth |
|
|
|
of
his statement. He accompanied the Prince on his tour through the Unites
States, and went |
|
|
|
with him to England. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'On
arriving in England, Fenwick proceeded immediately to his ancestral hall,
where he was |
|
|
|
informed by the servants that one of his aunts,
who had caused him and his mother so much |
|
|
|
trouble and unhappiness, was now on her
death-bed, attended by her brother, Sir John |
|
|
|
|
Fenwick.
He entered the chamber of death. The ghostly visage of the dying woman became
still |
|
|
|
ghastlier when she beheld the boy whom she and
her sister had so deeply wronged. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'She immediately confessed the tale they had
invented to blast the reputation of Lady Clara, |
|
|
|
and ruin his and her innocent son, was without
foundation - that Clara was a good and true |
|
|
|
wife until he drove her away and spurned her.
Lord [sic] Fenwick folded his long-lost son to his |
|
|
|
heart and shed tears of joy over him. The woman
died in a few minutes after making the |
|
|
|
|
confession. Her sister is at present the inmate
of the convent, and strives to atone for her |
|
|
|
black-hearted treachery by fasting, penitence,
and prayer. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The health of Lady Clara greatly failed after
the departure of her son for America, and Captain |
|
|
|
O'Neil took her to the South of France in the
hope of restoring it. But she soon died, and not |
|
|
|
long afterwards the captain was killed in a
duel. By a will he bequeathed his property, which |
|
|
|
was of great value, to his wife's son, John N.
Fenwick. The young man is now in Fenwick Hall.' |

'The following is a portion of a letter sent by
him to a friend in Clinton...."So you may imagine |
|
|
|
my feelings at present. To those persons in
Clinton who doubted my statements, and ridiculed |
|
|
|
me, I have no unkind feelings. I entertain
toward the people of Clinton a lively feeling of gratit- |
|
|
|
ude for their many kindnesses and favors. To
Robert Lewis, Esq., I desire you to return my most |
|
|
|
sincere thanks. Tell him I still have the boots
he presented me, which together with the gold |
|
|
|
pen from Charles Dennett, I shall keep in
remembrance of them, and my once humble condition |
|
|
|
in
life. My best respects to my ever good friend, Mr. Stransbury, to whom I send
in your |
|
|
|
|
package a breastpin. My love to Mrs. C---- and
the children. I have many times, since I left |
|
|
|
your roof, thought of them, and longed to see
them.....The package I send to you I hope will |
|
|
|
entirely clear you of debt, and make you
independent in life. Tell Al. Blackford I will send him |
|
|
|
a splendid Manton fowling-piece by the next
steamer. He has my likeness, which I would be |
|
|
|
glad to have left with Miss Julia C---- |

A postscript appeared at the foot of the story
which stated that "we have carefully searched |
|
|
|
Dod's Peerage, but
cannot find that such a person as "John North Fenwick, Bart.,"
exists. We, |

therefore, presume that the writer of the

|
|

Ferguson sat in the Irish House of Commons for
Londonderry City between 1798 and 1800. |
|
|
|
Having voted for the Union in 1800, Ferguson
was rewarded with a baronetcy shortly |

afterwards. |

The following report of Ferguson's death
appeared in the "Aberdeen Journal" of 3 August |
|
|
|
|
1808:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'A Gentleman in Belfast has received a letter
from a friend, dated Londonderry, 18th July |
|
|
|
|
which says - "As Sir Andrew Ferguson,
Bart., and his son Harvey, were returning home |
|
|
|
|
about
12 last night in a gig, they came to a bridge [at Moville, co. Donegal],
which the |
|
|
|
|
servant
knowing to be very much broken, called to his master to stop a moment till he
would |
|
|
|
lead
the horse along it. Before the servant, however, had got hold of the reins,
Sir Andrew |
|
|
|
whipped
the horse, and in a moment the whole were precipitated over the bridge! Sir
Andrew |
|
|
|
was killed on the spot, but his son did not
receive the smallest injury." ' |

'The

Frederick
Fermor-Hesketh (24 Sep 1883 - on or after 29 Oct 1910), younger son of
Sir |
|
|
|
Thomas George Fermor-Hesketh, 7th baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Frederick
disappeared in October 1910 and was never positively seen again, despite a
number |
|
|
|
of reports that he had been located in Montana
and Wyoming. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following [edited] report appeared in the
Adelaide 'Mail' of 18 May 1912:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The mystery surrounding the disappearance of
Frederick Fermor-Hesketh, second son of |
|
|
|
|
Sir Thomas and Lady Fermor-Hesketh, who was
given up for dead, appears to be solved. Mr. |
|
|
|
Hesketh, who was a lieutenant in the 9th
Lancers, was last seen at Kingstown Pier, Ireland, |
|
|
|
on
October 30, 1910, dressed in a rough serge suit, and without any baggage. His
intention |
|
|
|
was to go to America to amass a fortune. A
communication received in New York from Dr. |
|
|
|
B.F. Woodard, of Gillette, Wyoming, asked
whether any was known of a missing Englishman, |
|
|
|
answering to the following description:- A man
about 30 years of age, black curly hair, |
|
|
|
|
slightly grey, blue eyes, 6ft tall, name
Frederick or Hespeth, of military bearing, highly |
|
|
|
|
cultured. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The description exactly fits the officer for
whom the Scotland Yard and New York police were |
|
|
|
asked to search 18 months ago. It appears that
Dr. Woodard, while in Tromberg, Montana, |
|
|
|
two days ago, accidentally met a man who seemed
somewhat strange in manner. He talked |
|
|
|
about having been born in Europe, but said that
his mother came from New York or San |
|
|
|
|
Francisco. He claimed to have been in South
America, but was unable to understand the |
|
|
|
|
language, and returned to the United States.
The stranger declared that his mother's father, |
|
|
|
Sr. [Senator] Sharon, of San Francisco, had
made a fortune in America, and he thought he |
|
|
|
could do the same. [William Sharon (1821-1885)
was Senator for Nevada 1875-1881 and |
|
|
|
|
made a fortune from the Comstock silver lode in
Virginia City, Nevada]. He had a soldierly |
|
|
|
|
bearing, polished manner, and quick actions.
Dr. Woodard says he found that the man was |
|
|
|
stranded, so he gave him three dollars for a
night's lodging, and secured him a position on |
|
|
|
the Sullivan sheep ranch, about 90 miles
south-west of Clearmont, Wyoming. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mr. Frederick Fermor-Hesketh is the second son
of Sir Thomas Fermor-Hesketh, seventh |
|
|
|
|
baronet of Easton Neston, Towcester. He was
formerly a lieutenant in the 9th Lancers, and |
|
|
|
at the time of his disappearance was home on
leave, his regiment then being stationed in |
|
|
|
|
South Africa. Mr. Hesketh was staying with his
mother at Chedshurst Manor, Kineton, when |
|
|
|
Lady Fermor-Hesketh had rented for the shooting
season. On October 29, 1910, he was |
|
|
|
|
motoring
back from Easton Neston, when he met his mother outside Banbury. He
stopped |
|
|
|
and spoke to her in a perfectly natural manner,
informing her that he would not return until |
|
|
|
rather later, as he had to leave a dog at a
veterinary surgeon's at Banbury. That was the |
|
|
|
last time Lady Hesketh saw her son. Enquiries
made subsequently showed that he had left |
|
|
|
the car in Banbury and travelled to London. A
brown leather bag, a rug, and some other |
|
|
|
|
articles were found on the steamer which
reached Kingstown from Holyhead on October 30. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The steward of the steamer was positive that
he saw Mr. Hesketh land, but after that all |
|
|
|
trace of him was lost. He was in good health,
and, so far as was known, had no reason for |
|
|
|
concealing his whereabouts. It was accordingly
presumed that he was suffering from loss |
|
|
|
|
of memory, and a thorough search for him was
instituted.' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, no trace of Frederick Fermor-Hesketh
was ever found. His name was removed |
|
|
|
|
from the Army List in February 1911 due to his
absence without leave. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Eventually, in October 1925, leave was granted
by the Probate, Divorce and Admiralty |
|
|
|
|
Division of the High Court of Justice to
presume Frederick's death, as reported in 'The |
|
|
|
|
Times' on 20 October:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'In the Estate of Frederick Fermor-Hesketh,
presumed deceased - This was a petition for |
|
|
|
|
leave to depose to the death of Frederick
Fermor-Hesketh, the younger son of Sir Thomas |
|
|
|
George Fermor-Hesketh, Bt., of Easton Neston,
Towcester. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Mr. Noel Middleton said that Frederick
Fermor-Hesketh disappeared on October 29, 1910. |
|
|
|
|
He was then a lieutenant in the 9th Lancers and
was aged 27 years. He had returned to |
|
|
|
|
England on leave from South Africa at the
beginning of September, 1910, and was living with |
|
|
|
his mother at Chedshurst Manor, Kineton, in
Warwickshire. On October 29 he was motoring |
|
|
|
from Easton Neston and he met Lady
Fermor-Hesketh, who was in her car, outside Banbury. |
|
|
|
He stopped and spoke to her. He said that he
would be late as he had to leave a dog with |
|
|
|
a veterinary surgeon at Banbury, adding -
"I will follow you in a few minutes." He was not |
|
|
|
|
seen again by his mother. Inquiries showed that
he had put his car into a garage and taken |
|
|
|
the 5.15 p.m. train to London. Some personal
baggage belonging to him was found in the |
|
|
|
|
steamship Leinster, which arrived at Kingstown
in Ireland at 6 a.m. on October 30, 1910. But |
|
|
|
from that all trace of the missing man was
lost. He was in his usual health and unembarrassed |
|
|
|
by any financial or domestic trouble, and no
reason could be assigned for his disappearance. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The President - It seems probable that he fell
overboard from the boat. Mr. Middleton - Yes. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'His
Lordship gave leave to the applicant, Sir Thomas Fermor-Hesketh (his
brother), to swear |
|
|
|
that the presumed deceased died on or since
October 29, 1910.' |
