The claim made to the baronetcy of
Fletcher-Vane in 1872 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In November 1872, the case of 'Vane v. Vane'
was heard in the Vice-Chancellor's Court in |
|
|
|
London. The following edited report on the
proceedings is taken from the 'Manchester Times' |
|
|
|
of 9 November 1872:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The object of this suit, which was instituted
by "Sir Frederick Henry Vane, Bart. (heretofore |
|
|
|
commonly
called Frederick Henry Vane), against Henry Ralph Vane (heretofore
commonly |
|
|
|
|
called Sir Henry Ralph Vane, Bart.)" and
others, was to obtain a declaration that the plaintiff, |
|
|
|
as the eldest son of Sir Frederick Fletcher
Vane, deceased, is entitled to the family estates |
|
|
|
in Cumberland and Westmorland, and to have an
account taken of the rents and profits |
|
|
|
|
received
by the defendant, with an order for payment to the plaintiff of what should
be |
|
|
|
|
found due. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The case made by the bill was that Sir Frank
[i.e. Francis] Fletcher Vane, the father of the |
|
|
|
plaintiff, before his marriage cohabited with,
and three illegitimate children by, Miss Hannah |
|
|
|
Bowerbank, the lady whom he subsequently
married, the first of such children having been |
|
|
|
born in 1794 and the second in 1795. It was
upon the legitimacy of the third of these children |
|
|
|
that
the question turned. The plaintiff alleged that pending arrangements for his
father's |
|
|
|
|
marriage
with Miss Bowerbank, she was prematurely confined of a third child, a son,
and that |
|
|
|
the marriage did not, in fact, take place until
nearly three weeks after her confinement - viz., |
|
|
|
on March 9, 1797. The child thus born, as the
plaintiff alleged about three weeks before the |
|
|
|
marriage,
on the 9th of March, was baptised by the name of Francis Fletcher Vane at
St. |
|
|
|
George's,
Bloomsbury, on the 19th of April, 1797, and in the entry of his baptism he
was |
|
|
|
|
stated to have been born on the 29th of March,
1797. As to this entry, it was alleged by the |
|
|
|
plaintiff that the register had been tampered
with, and that the date of the birth was added |
|
|
|
some
time after the original entry. The bill then stated that Sir Frederick
Fletcher Vane |
|
|
|
|
brought up Francis Fletcher Vane, the child
thus born, as his legitimate heir. After the marriage |
|
|
|
two other children - i.e. a daughter and the
plaintiff, who was born on May 10, 1807. Francis |
|
|
|
Fletcher Vane married in 1823, and upon the
death of his father in 1832 assumed the title and |
|
|
|
the
family estates. He died in 1842, and the defendant, Sir Henry Ralph Vane, who
was his |
|
|
|
eldest
son, and consequently the nephew of the plaintiff, succeeded him. Lady Vane,
the |
|
|
|
widow of Sir Frederick Fletcher Vane, did not
die until 1866, and the plaintiff accounted for |
|
|
|
the
length of time which had elapsed before he attempted to assert his rights by
the |
|
|
|
|
statement
that from the year 1826, when at the age of 19 he obtained a commission in
the |
|
|
|
12th Lancers, down to the year 1866 he had only
been for a few days at a time the family |
|
|
|
place in Cumberland, and that in that year he
had for the first time became aware through |
|
|
|
inquiries made, in consequence of some remarks
let fall by the widow of Sir Francis and of a |
|
|
|
subsequent conversation with the widow of Sir
Frederick before her death, that there was any |
|
|
|
doubt
as to the legitimacy of his elder brother. The plaintiff further charged that
the |
|
|
|
|
illegitimacy of Sir Francis was not only known
to Sir Frederick and his wife, but also was |
|
|
|
|
disclosed by Sir Frederick to Sir Francis, and
was known by Sir Francis's wife and her father, |
|
|
|
and was fraudulently concealed from the plaintiff. ' |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A
decision in this case was eventually reached in November 1876. In normal
circumstances, |
|
|
|
given that Sir Henry Ralph Fletcher-Vane had
succeeded to the title and estates in 1842, |
|
|
|
any attempt to claim the title and estates
would have been defeated by the Statute of |
|
|
|
|
Limitations. However, a loophole in the law
stated that, in the event of a "concealed fraud," |
|
|
|
the right of a claimant to bring an action in
equity ran for twenty years after the discovery of |
|
|
|
such fraud. This is what the claimant relied
upon, arguing that his parents had committed |
|
|
|
such a fraud by falsely representing that his
brother had been born after their marriage, |
|
|
|
|
whereas he had been born before. The Court was
satisfied, however, that Francis had been |
|
|
|
born after the marriage, and as such the
plaintiff's case entirely failed, and therefore his |
|
|
|
|
application must be dismissed. |

Sir Ewan Forbes, 11th baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In all standard peerage references published
between 1912 and 1952, the children of the |
|
|
|
|
18th Lord Sempill are shown as William Francis
Forbes-Sempill, later 19th Lord Sempill, and |
|
|
|
three
daughters, Gwendolen Janet (died 1910), Margaret, born 1905, and Elizabeth,
born |
|
|
|
1912. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In September 1952, it was announced that
Elizabeth had now become Ewan. The following |
|
|
|
report appeared in 'The Chicago Daily Tribune'
on 13 September 1952:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Dr. Elizabeth Forbes-Sempill, younger daughter
of the late 18th Baron Sempill and sister of |
|
|
|
the present 19th baron, today publicly adopted
a male christian name. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'An advertisement in the Scottish Aberdeen
Press and Journal said Dr. Forbes-Sempill would |
|
|
|
be known as Dr. Ewan Forbes-Sempill. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'She recently obtained a warrant for
re-registration of birth from the sheriff in Aberdeen. |
|
|
|
|
The London Evening Standard said, "The
case of Miss Elizabeth Forbes-Sempill, who has |
|
|
|
|
changed sex at the age of 40, is the first of
its kind to cause changes in the books of |
|
|
|
|
social reference." Dr. Forbes-Sempill's
relationship to the 19th baron is now that of "brother," |
|
|
|
it said. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Dr. Forbes-Sempill was graduated from Aberdeen
university in 1944 and has been practicing |
|
|
|
medicine at Alford for several years. She is a
Scottish folk dance enthusiast, and the founder |
|
|
|
and leader of a team of dancers called the
Dancers of Don. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'William Francis Forbes-Sempill, 58, the 19th
baron, has four daughters living but no son. The |
|
|
|
doctor's new status as his "brother"
may involve a change in succession, experts said. Besides |
|
|
|
being a Scottish baron or lord, William Francis
Forbes-Sempill is also a baronet of Nova Scotia, |
|
|
|
entitled to be called "sir." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Cyril Hankinson, editor of
"Debrett," a reference book listing Britain's blue bloods, was
quoted |
|
|
|
as saying that the re-registration of the
doctor's birth and change in Christian name would |
|
|
|
not affect the present succession to the barony
of Sempill, created in 1488, but might affect |
|
|
|
the succession to the baronetcy. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"The present heiress to the barony,"
Hankinson said, "is Lord Sempill's eldest daughter, Ann |
|
|
|
Moira. I think this event leaves her position
unimpaired, as the barony can descend in the |
|
|
|
female line. The baronetcy, however, can not so
descend, and I think this change means that |
|
|
|
Dr. Ewan Forbes-Sempill becomes the heir
presumptive to the baronetcy, thus displacing the |
|
|
|
present peer's uncle, Rear Adm. A.L.O.
Forbes-Sempill. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'An Associated Press dispatch said Dr.
Forbes-Sempill was dressed in a man's suit at her |
|
|
|
|
Aberdeenshire home. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The London Daily Mirror quoted Dr.
Forbes-Sempill as saying: "I regard this as a reprieve after |
|
|
|
40 years of being mistaken alternatively for
male and female, from living a lie, trying to be |
|
|
|
something that I never was entirely - a woman." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"I
underwent a course of medical treatment for several years finally to
establish my |
|
|
|
|
masculinity. I was not involved in any
operation and, being a doctor myself, I knew what was |
|
|
|
going on. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"I have biologically, as well as socially,
a man for several months, leading a bachelor's life and |
|
|
|
discarding the last remnants of my tedious
upbringing as a girl. I have discarded all the relics |
|
|
|
of those years of torture - makeup, perfume,
jewellery and so forth." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A month after making the announcement, Dr. Ewan
Forbes-Sempill married his housekeeper, |
|
|
|
Miss Isabella Mitchell, a woman reported as
being in her mid-thirties. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When Lord Sempill died in 1965, Ewan claimed
the title as the late Lord's nearest male relative. |
|
|
|
His claim was opposed by Lord Sempill's cousin,
John Forbes-Sempill. The dispute lasted for |
|
|
|
three years, during which time the Scottish
Court of Session ruled that Ewan was the male |
|
|
|
heir. However, John Forbes-Sempill persisted in
his claim, relying on Ewan's original birth |
|
|
|
|
certificate, until 5 December 1968, when James
Callaghan, the then Home Secretary, directed |
|
|
|
that the name of Sir Ewan Forbes-Sempill be
entered in the roll of the baronetage as the 11th |
|
|
|
baronet. |

Sir Augustus John Foster, 1st baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir Augustus committed suicide in August 1848.
The following report of the subsequent inquest |
|
|
|
appeared in 'The Era' [London] on 20 August
1848:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'On Thursday week an inquest was held at
Branksea Castle, on the body of the Right Hon. Sir |
|
|
|
Augustus John Foster, Bart, P.C., G.C.H., aged
68, before Henry Everingam, Esq., Mayor of |
|
|
|
Wareham. The deceased had been for several
months labouring under disease of the heart and |
|
|
|
lungs.
His medical attendant, T. Salter, Esq., of Poole, visited him on Tuesday, the
1st inst., |
|
|
|
at seven o'clock in the evening, and offered to
stay the night, which deceased declined. He |
|
|
|
had then just had a severe attack, suffered
great pain, and was scarcely expected to survive |
|
|
|
a minute. His mental faculties were not right.
If sensible when addressed, he soon wandered. |
|
|
|
Acute pain and consequent want of sleep for a
considerable period had caused delirium. Sir |
|
|
|
Augustus retired at about a quarter before
eight, on Mr. Salter's leaving him, and a few minutes |
|
|
|
afterwards he was heard to give a groan, by a
servant in an adjoining room, who immediately |
|
|
|
called Mr. Foster, a son of the deceased; they,
supposing he was attacked by one of his usual |
|
|
|
fits, attempted to revive him by administering
hollands [Dutch gin]. The servant was told by |
|
|
|
Mr.
Foster to feel deceased's pulse, and on taking his hand for that purpose,
discovered an |
|
|
|
open
razor in it, and blood was then, it being dark, first observed on the bed
linen. There were |
|
|
|
two
large wounds in the throat, one of which was 3½ inches long, in a transverse
direction, |
|
|
|
very
deep, and the large blood vessels in the neighbourhood were divided, from
whence |
|
|
|
|
haemorrhage, sufficient to cause death, had
taken place. Mr. Salter had no doubt of the mental |
|
|
|
derangement of deceased, and a verdict of
Temporary Insanity was returned.' |

This classic rags-to-riches romance was
published in "The Leeds Mercury" of 3 January 1880:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"One fine summer's morning in the year of
grace 1742 the little inn of the little town of |
|
|
|
|
Marblehead was in a state of great bustle in
anticipation of the visit of some Government |
|
|
|
|
officials
from Boston to dine there. The landlady, rather vixenish in temper and
tongue, was |
|
|
|
busily occupied in attending to the culinary
department, and at intervals scolding a young girl |
|
|
|
of sixteen, who was scrubbing the floor, and
was the maid-of-all-work in the establishment, |
|
|
|
working from early in the morning until late at
night for a small pittance of wages. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Marblehead was a small fishing town or
village about sixteen miles from Boston in New England, |
|
|
|
consisting of a cluster of log-built and
straw-thatched houses, amongst which stood conspic- |
|
|
|
uously forth the little hostelry, in
consequence of its sign of King George the Second's head |
|
|
|
swinging and creaking from a crossbeam over the
highway. The inhabitants were almost entirely |
|
|
|
of Guernsey descent, a brave people, but not so
loyal as the sign of their inn would seem to |
|
|
|
indicate, as after the war of the Revolution
there were in the town 600 widows of patriots who |
|
|
|
had
fallen; and in the year 1812, 500 Marblehead men were prisoners of war in
England. The |
|
|
|
washing of the floor was not completed when the
sound of horses' feet was heard coming along |
|
|
|
the
road, and in a few minutes three gentlemen alighted at the door, gave their
horses in |
|
|
|
charge
of an extemporised ostler, and entered the house. The landlady made a
profound |
|
|
|
|
curtsey
to her guests, and at the same time rated her hand-maiden for not having the
room |
|
|
|
ready
for the gentlemen. "Don't scold her," said he who appeared to be
the chief of the group; |
|
|
|
"I dare say the little lassie has done her
best, and perhaps we have arrived earlier than we were |
|
|
|
expected." The girl, who was dressed in
homely attire, and without shoes or stockings, turned |
|
|
|
her
head with a silent glance of thanks to the speaker - a glance which he
pronounced to |
|
|
|
himself to be angelic. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"The gentleman who thus came upon the
scene was a Mr. Charles Henry Frankland, 36 years of |
|
|
|
age
[26 would be more accurate], and slightly bronzed in feature from his early
residence in |
|
|
|
Bengal, where he was born. He was the eldest
son of the Governor of Bengal, Henry Frankland, |
|
|
|
who had been brother and heir-presumptive of
Sir Thomas Frankland, third Baronet, of Thirkleby, |
|
|
|
in Yorkshire, but he had died in 1736, leaving
this son heir-presumptive to the baronetcy in his |
|
|
|
place. In 1741 he had been appointed Collector
of the Customs at the port of Boston, and on |
|
|
|
this summer's morning, with two subordinates,
was paying a professional visit to Marblehead, |
|
|
|
which
lay within the Boston collection. The more he saw of the girl, as she waited
at table |
|
|
|
during
dinner, the more he was struck with the beauty of her features and the
faultless |
|
|
|
|
symmetry of her figure. As was said of her,
"Her ringlets were black and glossy as the raven, |
|
|
|
her dark eyes beamed with light and loveliness,
and her voice was musical and bird-like." He |
|
|
|
entered into conversation with her, and found
that her name was Agnes Surriage, and that her |
|
|
|
parents, of a humble position in life, dwelt at
a neighbouring village. He was charmed with the |
|
|
|
modest
and intelligent replies she made to his questions, but found that she was
altogether |
|
|
|
uneducated,
and had learnt nothing except how to perform household work, to sew and
knit, |
|
|
|
and
"to go to meeting on Sundays." On leaving, he gave her money to buy
herself shoes and |
|
|
|
stockings; but on his next visit he found her
again bare-legged, and asking her why she had not |
|
|
|
supplied
herself with shoes and stockings, she replied that she had done so, but kept
them to |
|
|
|
go to "meeting" in. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Becoming more and more fascinated with
her beauty, he at length asked her parents to allow |
|
|
|
him
to take her to Boston and have her educated, to which they consented after
some |
|
|
|
|
hesitation.
He caused her to be instructed in reading, writing, drawing, music, dancing,
and all |
|
|
|
the accomplishments of a fine lady; but
although she excelled eventually in sketching, playing |
|
|
|
and dancing, and wrote a beautiful hand, she
could never master the difficulties of orthography, |
|
|
|
her spelling to the last being always of an
original and curiously eccentric character. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"When
her education was completed and she had grown to womanhood, he took her to
his |
|
|
|
home
as his mistress, and she bore him a son, who was christened Richard Cromwell.
She was, |
|
|
|
however, looked upon askance by the Quaker
circles of Boston, not on account of her lowly |
|
|
|
birth, but because of her disreputable
connection with her "protector." Sir Thomas Frankland, |
|
|
|
3rd baronet, died without male issue in 1747,
and Charles Henry, his nephew, succeeded as |
|
|
|
fourth baronet. Seven years after he returned
to England, with Agnes and his son, to dispute |
|
|
|
the will of the late baronet as to the
disposition of the family estates at Thirkleby, near |
|
|
|
|
Easingwold [12 miles north of York]. Sir Thomas
made three wills; the first in 1741, wherein he |
|
|
|
left a slender provision for his widow, leaving
the estates to his heir male. In the second, made |
|
|
|
in 1744, he left Thirkleby to his widow for
life, to pass at her death to the then holder of the |
|
|
|
baronetcy; and by the third will, dated 1746,
he left her the estates, producing £2500 per |
|
|
|
annum, and the whole of his personalty
absolutely, and to dispose of as she chose. It was |
|
|
|
contended that the last will was made when he
was in an unsound state of mind and under |
|
|
|
undue influence, and a lawsuit ensued,
resulting in the setting aside of the third and the |
|
|
|
|
continuation of the second will. The lawsuit
gained, Sir Charles and Agnes went for a tour on |
|
|
|
the Continent, and in the month of November,
1755, were sojourning in the city of Lisbon. On |
|
|
|
the 1st of that month, the sun rose, shining
with almost unusual brightness, and the streets |
|
|
|
were filled with people going hither and
thither on matters of religion, business, and pleasure, |
|
|
|
little dreaming of, and with nothing to
indicate, the catastrophe which was to befall their city. |
|
|
|
The Franklands had breakfasted at their hotel,
and Sir Charles, donning a Court suit, started |
|
|
|
off in a carriage with a lady to witness the
celebration of High Mass in the Cathedral, leaving |
|
|
|
Agnes at the hotel. They had not proceeded far,
and were passing in front of a lofty building, |
|
|
|
when, without warning, the terrible earthquake
occurred, which in eight minutes laid the city |
|
|
|
in ruins and swallowed up 50,000 of its
inhabitants. The lofty building came crashing down, and |
|
|
|
buried the carriage and its occupants. What
became of the lady is not known, but the horses |
|
|
|
were killed, and Sir Charles lay bruised and
wounded beneath the ruins for an hour. In full |
|
|
|
|
expectation of death, he reflected on his past
life, and concluded that he was undergoing a |
|
|
|
judgment of God for his misdeeds, and
especially for having lived in a state of concubinage, |
|
|
|
and made a vow that if he should be rescued, he
would show his repentance by marrying the |
|
|
|
partner of his guilt. Agnes had escaped unhurt,
and when the first shock had passed, fearful |
|
|
|
that some mischance had befallen him, rushed
out in the direction of the cathedral, regardless |
|
|
|
of the still falling houses, in search of him.
As she was clambering over a heap of ruins, she |
|
|
|
heard moans issuing from beneath, and a voice
which she recognised as that of her beloved |
|
|
|
one.
She immediately got together a party of diggers, and by promises of high
rewards, |
|
|
|
|
succeeded in extricating him, and after his
wounds had been dressed conveyed him to Belem, |
|
|
|
where, in process of time, he recovered, and
where their marriage was celebrated. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Sir Charles returned to Boston; but in
1757 he was appointed Consul-General to Portugal, and |
|
|
|
again
came to Lisbon. In 1763 he resumed his duties at Boston, retaining his
consulship, |
|
|
|
|
although absent, until 1767, when he returned
to England and died the following year, being |
|
|
|
succeeded in the baronetcy by his brother Thomas. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Lady Frankland returned to New England
with her son, and they resided upon an estate at |
|
|
|
Hopkinton [30 miles west of Boston] which she
had inherited through her parents, but at the |
|
|
|
outbreak of the Revolutionary war in 1775, she
being a Royalist, came to England, and in 1782 |
|
|
|
married Mr. John Drew, a banker at Chichester,
and died in 1783. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

"Richard Cromwell, her son, entered the
Naval Service of England, but retired on his being |

Sir Thomas George Freake, 2nd baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On 1 October 1890, Sir Thomas appeared in the
Westminster Police Court charged with having, |
|
|
|
on 29 September, stolen a key, two boxes
containing photographic negatives, and a bundle |
|
|
|
of letters, the property of Mr. Edward Gibson.
He was further charged with forging a telegram. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Evidence
showed that Sir Thomas Freake and Edward Gibson had formerly been
intimate |
|
|
|
|
friends, but both had conducted 'immoral
relations' with an unnamed lady. It appeared that |
|
|
|
this lady had written a number of letters to
Sir Thomas, and that these letters were now in |
|
|
|
the
possession of Gibson, who refused to part with them. Sir Thomas therefore
resorted to |
|
|
|
'foul' means to obtain these letters. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On 29 September, Gibson took the letters to the
St.George's Club in Hanover Square where, in |
|
|
|
the
presence of a man named Hodson, he deposited the letters in his private
locker. Hodson |
|
|
|
then
informed Gibson that Sir Thomas had invited them to lunch at his house.
Suspecting |
|
|
|
nothing
untoward, Gibson lunched at Sir Thomas's house. After lunch, Sir Thomas
suggested |
|
|
|
that Gibson might like to view a nearby mansion
which had been fitted out for private |
|
|
|
|
theatrical performances. Once there, Gibson was
lured into the basement where he was |
|
|
|
|
confronted by Sir Thomas, Hodson, another man
named Walker, and the unnamed lady. They |
|
|
|
demanded that Gibson hand over his keys and the
letters. Gibson refused, whereupon "the |
|
|
|
three men set upon him, took him by the throat,
threw him on the ground, and held him in |
|
|
|
a position of half-strangulation, while
handcuffs were put on him by Hodson, and his pockets |
|
|
|
were rifled for his keys." One newspaper
report contains the superb syntactic error that "a |
|
|
|
man stood over Gibson while he was handcuffed
with a drawn sword." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once his assailants had found his keys,
including that to his locker at his club, Sir Thomas |
|
|
|
went to the local post office and sent a
telegram - "To the hall-porter, St. George's Club, |
|
|
|
Hanover-square. - Send wooden box in my locker
by messenger in cab to 87, Onslow-gardens. |
|
|
|
Have sent key. - Gibson." Sir Thomas was
therefore successful in obtaining his goal. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
magistrate viewed this matter as being not too serious, and suggested that
the matter |
|
|
|
be submitted to arbitration. He noted that the
letters had subsequently been returned to the |
|
|
|
lady, who had then destroyed them. Eventually
it was reported that the matter had been |
|
|
|
settled out of court by payment of £1,200 plus
£100 in costs. |

Sir Charles Edward Frederick, 7th baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In late 1874, Sir Charles appeared before the
Court of Probate in an attempt to prove the |
|
|
|
lawful marriage of his paternal grandfather
and, as a consequence, that the baronetcy had |
|
|
|
accordingly descended to Sir Charles. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following report appeared in 'The
Illustrated Police News' of 26 December 1874:- |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'For several days past a case has been
proceeding in the Court of Probate which has involved |
|
|
|
points of great personal and public interest,
and in which the succession to a Baronetcy was |
|
|
|
curiously involved. The case arose under the
Legitimacy Declaration Act, and was a petition |
|
|
|
by Capt. Charles Edward Frederick, asking the
Court to declare that his paternal grandfather, |
|
|
|
Colonel Charles Frederick, was lawfully married
to Martha Rigden, who for many years was |
|
|
|
recognised by him as his wife. The marriage was
supposed to have taken place somewhere |
|
|
|
about the 20th March, 1773, but no direct proof
of it remains. In a family Bible, inherited by |
|
|
|
Captain Frederick from Sir Richard Frederick,
the late baronet, and which was the property of |
|
|
|
the
Colonel Charles Frederick whose marriage was in question, is an entry by him
of his |
|
|
|
|
marriage with Martha Rigden on the 20th March,
1773, and of the births of his several children. |
|
|
|
Of the sons, Charles, the eldest, was killed in
the unfortunate Walcheren expedition [in 1809] |
|
|
|
and left no lawful issue; Arnold, the second,
was never married, and was killed by the blowing |
|
|
|
up of the Queen Charlotte at Leghorn [17 March
1800]; General Edward, father of the |
|
|
|
|
petitioner, was the third son. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Colonel Charles Frederick left England for
Bombay in 1776, leaving his reputed wife and two |
|
|
|
young children to the care of her brother, Mr.
John Rigden. In the next year his wife followed |
|
|
|
him
to India, and they lived together there till Colonel Frederick's death in
1791. He had, |
|
|
|
|
however,
returned to England in 1779 to prosecute a complaint against the East
India |
|
|
|
|
Company, and during this visit formed a great
friendship with his brother's wife - Mrs. Lenox |
|
|
|
Frederick. During a visit to the Continent
pending an arrangement with some creditors, he |
|
|
|
corresponded with this lady, and his letters
were produced. In these letters he continually |
|
|
|
speaks of his wife, and of himself as a loving
husband "more in love," he says in one letter, |
|
|
|
written in February, 1781, "if that is
possible, than I was the day I married, though that is |
|
|
|
near eight years ago." In another, written
in the following April, he thanks his correspondent |
|
|
|
for the kind manner in which she had mentioned
his wife, and adds, "the greatest and most |
|
|
|
unpardonable folly I ever committed in my life
was not making her known to my family before |
|
|
|
I went to India." In the same letter
Colonel Frederick then makes a statement which seems |
|
|
|
to throw some light on the difficulties in
which the case was involved. He says to his |
|
|
|
|
correspondent, speaking of his father, "I
suppose you have heard that I did inform him of my |
|
|
|
marriage
when I was last in England, but there being no register, and the certificate
being |
|
|
|
left in India to entitle her to the Company's
allowance in case any accident happened to me, |
|
|
|
I could not immediately prove it legally, upon
which grounds he refused to acknowledge her." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'At this period in the history of the marriage
the certificate, said by Colonel Charles Frederick |
|
|
|
to have been "left in India to entitle her
to the Company's allowance," seems, if it ever |
|
|
|
|
existed, to have come into use. Mr. Mason, of
the India Office, produced the records of the' |
|
|
|
Company, in which Colonel Frederick's
commissions and pensions and the allowances to his |
|
|
|
widow
and children were entered. Neither the deeds of the Clive Fund nor the
regulations of |
|
|
|
the Company require the production of a
marriage certificate, but in nearly every case it was |
|
|
|
done,
and Mr. Mason named an instance in which the company deferred the grant of
a |
|
|
|
|
pension for four years till the certificate was
forthcoming. This case seemed to suggest that |
|
|
|
the production of a certificate was usual.
Colonel Frederick's widow at once received the |
|
|
|
|
pensions,
and there is a record in the report of a sub-committee which states "she
had |
|
|
|
|
produced
the necessary certificates to entitle her" to the pensions of a
colonel's widow, and |
|
|
|
they recommended her to an additional allowance
of £100 a year from the Contingent Military |
|
|
|
Fund. These pensions were regularly paid to her
till her death at Bath in August, 1794, and |
|
|
|
on her tombstone a partially obliterated
inscription may still be read, which calls her "Martha, |
|
|
|
relict of Charles Frederick, Colonel of his
Majesty's Bombay Army." She left her eight children |
|
|
|
in very poor circumstances, and her brother,
John Rigden, memorialised the Company on their |
|
|
|
behalf, and got a grant of twenty pounds a year
from the Contingent Fund for each of the |
|
|
|
five younger children. Some correspondence
afterwards passed between Mr. Rigden and the |
|
|
|
two brothers of the deceased Colonel; and
endorsed in Mr. Rigden's hand, on the back of one |
|
|
|
of
the letters is this passage: "I have with much difficulty found the
marriage certificate, |
|
|
|
which
I also" - but here the paper was torn, and the rest of the sentence is
missing. The |
|
|
|
letter had referred to some accounts; and the
inference is that the marriage certificate was |
|
|
|
that of Charles Frederick and Martha Rigden,
and that it was enclosed in the letter. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'But here arose a curious difficulty. In the
year 1800 some dispute arose between this same |
|
|
|
John Rigden and his nephew, Charles Frederick,
who claimed in right of his mother some |
|
|
|
|
property which Rigden held. He disputed his
nephew's claim, and in some way the question |
|
|
|
of the marriage was then raised, but left
unsettled. There had, therefore, been some doubt |
|
|
|
as to the marriage from the first; and the
question was whether the explanation of it was to |
|
|
|
be accepted as legally sufficient to establish
the validity of the marriage. The verdict has |
|
|
|
decided that in the opinion of the jury it is
sufficient, and that the marriage was a legal and |
|
|
|
valid one. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'The
contention of the other side was that none of these facts were sufficient to
establish |
|
|
|
the validity of the marriage, and the attempt
to establish it by repute was met by proofs of |
|
|
|
contrary beliefs. It was admitted that Edward
Frederick and Mrs. Lenox Frederick did believe |
|
|
|
in the marriage for a while, but that the
Frederick family entirely disbelieved it: and there was |
|
|
|
the strange fact that some years after the
marriage, Mrs. Frederick was described as a |
|
|
|
|
spinster in some documents executed by members
of her own family, and signed herself |
|
|
|
|
Martha Rigden. Moreover, her uncle, William
Rigden, whom Mr. Hawkins described as "one of |
|
|
|
those
irascible old uncles who appear in blue coats with brass buttons, and
nankeen |
|
|
|
|
pantaloons on the British stage," wrote
her a letter in 1776 in which he says members of her |
|
|
|
family, as well as he himself, think her not
married……. A slip of paper found with the letter in |
|
|
|
the handwriting of William Rigden contained the
memorandum, "Rev. Mr. Duckworth, son of |
|
|
|
Prebendary Duckworth, gone to East Indies;
married at Starchfield March, 1773. The man that |
|
|
|
gave
her away dead. Very bad account." This Mr. Duckworth was Vicar of Stoke
Pogis, and |
|
|
|
the rector of that parish proved that no record
existed in the registers of that church, which, |
|
|
|
however, had been very badly kept. These
circumstances were, however, all consistent with |
|
|
|
the plea that the marriage had been a
clandestine one, and had been kept secret at first, till |
|
|
|
proof became difficult. The verdict of the jury
fixes this interpretation on the events, and, we |
|
|
|
think, does substantial justice. The case is,
however, only one more proof of the danger of |
|
|
|
clandestine marriages, and the need there is
for the clearest and most open conduct in all |
|
|
|
such
matters. In this case a Baronetcy came eventually, and by accidents which it
was |
|
|
|
|
impossible to foresee, to depend upon the
legitimacy of the third son of this marriage; and, |
|
|
|
subject to the appeal, Captain Frederick is
declared the lawful descendant of the couple |
|
|
|
|
married in March, 1773, and will take the title
accordingly.' |

|
'Behind
the death of Sir Clayton Pennington Freeling, which took place in an old hut
in the |
|
|
|
mining village of Smythesdale, Victoria, lies
the story of lonely and adventurous life. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
'Sir Clayton, according to a cablegram from
Melbourne, was "very plainly clad, and very poorly |
|
|
|
housed,
and had lived the life of a recluse. He was an omnivorous reader, and a keen
student |
|
|
|
of mining problems. Nothing of value was found
among his effects." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

'This lonely baronet, a "Daily
Chronicle" representative was informed by a friend of the family, |
|
|
|
had
lived abroad for nearly 40 years. For some time he was in Alaska, but for the
greater part |
|
|
|
of his lifetime he lived in Australia. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

'He
was 70 when he died, and had not been in England since 1914. His mother, Lady
Freeling, |
|
|
|
who has attained the great age of 92, lives in
a flat at Hurlingham. She is the widow of Sir |
|
|

Sanford Freeling [1828-1894], for many years a
colonial governor. [Governor of Dominica 1869- |

'Sir Clayton succeeded his uncle, the Rev. Sir
James Robert Freeling, in 1916. In his earlier days |
|
|
|
he was an officer in the army, but a love of
travel and adventure tempted his abroad, and he |
|
|
|
sought gold both in Alaska and Australia. Even
his relatives knew little of his life during the past |
|
|
|
quarter of a century. "He was
married," an acquaintance said, "but no one knows where his wife |
|
|
|
is, or if, indeed, she is alive. There were no
children. |

"Before 1908 he made many trips home from
Australia, sometimes at intervals of only two years. |
|
|
|
But he would not stay long. He would say, 'The
sun is calling me, I must return home,' meaning |
|
|
|
Australia. |

"Often he would lock himself up in a room
with his books, but he could be a brilliant conversat- |
|
|
|
ionalist if her cared. He wrote occasional
poetry; so far as I know none of it was published." |

'The successor to the title is Mr. Charles E.
L. Freeling, a retired Reading solicitor, who had not |
|
|
|
seen his cousin, the late baronet, for 40
years. When a "Daily Chronicle" representative spoke |
|
|
|
to him on the telephone, the new baronet said,
"The whole thing is a nuisance, but fortunately |
|
|
|
will all be forgotten inside 24 hours." |

Sir Stephen Wilson Furness, 1st baronet |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sir Stephen died at Broadstairs, on the Kentish
coast when, while opening an upper storey |
|
|
|
window of the hotel in which he was staying, he
overbalanced and fell to the pavement below. |
|
|
|
The date of his death is shown in various
publications such as "Who Was Who" and Stenton |
|
|
|
and Lees' "Who's Who of British Members of
Parliament 1886-1918" as being 6 August 1914, |
|
|
|
but there is no doubt that the correct date was
6 September 1914, as is evidenced by the |
|
|
|
newspapers of the
time. |
