About 6 years ago I met one of his last surviving g.grandchildren (Clara Howarth aged 90 -who has since died). At the time her memory was still good and amongst the things she told me was that John Procter had been forced to give up his skilled occupation as a hatter due to his contracting asthma from inhaling the chemicals used in the trade (this was in fact a known hazard of the occupation - the same chemicals could also affect brain function, hence the expression 'Mad as a Hatter'). When this happened John was too old to train for another skilled job, so he was reduced to becoming a labourer in the Phoenix Iron Works in Lancaster.

According to Ann Mills, "Pat" tried to enter the Army but failed a test. He went to Bedford and from there joined the Merchant Navy. She says that he was married twice. The first marriage didn't produce any children. His second marriage was to a far eastern lady ?
He was a heavy drinker and may have died in Singapore around 1955. | DAY-MURPHY, William Thomas (I000312)

According to Doris Reeves - (daughter of Frank William Reeves)
Aged 13 he was apprenticed to the Duke of Devonshire at Chatsworth House as a gardener.
Anne Billson (nee Whitaker) with son Henry Sydney came to Chatsworth as a sewing maid to the Duchess and sometime after the death of Henry Billson (1855), she married William Reeves. (Her son was then 16 years old).
He worked with Paxton, (the Duke's Head Gardener) on the gardens at the Crystal Palace for 20 years. Eventually he went back to Chatsworth for the Duke, and then in 1875 emigrated to Auckland, New Zealand
There is a possibility that Chatsworth was a mistake. Considering where they all lived it's more likely that they went to Chiswick House.
William Spencer Cavendish (1790 - 1858) succeeded to the dukedom, and inherited 8 historic houses and 200,000 acres of land in 1811 at the age of 21. The 'Bachelor' Duke never married but loved entertaining and spent the 47 years of his dukedom improving his houses and embellishing them with every kind of object. He made extensive travels in Europe and said that "..at Rome.....the love of marble possesses most people like a new sense.". The most important room in the North Wing at Chatsworth, commissioned by him from Jeffry Wyatt (later Sir Jeffry Wyatville), was the Sculpture Gallery containing his outstanding collection of neo-classical (i.e. contemporary) sculpture. He also bought two complete libraries, many paintings and curiosities including the giant marble Colossal Foot and the Turkish Barge.
The Duke was Lord Chamberlain to King William IV. His friendships were very varied; he was particularly close to Czar Nicholas I of Russia and to the head gardener at Chatsworth, Sir Joseph Paxton, but also enjoyed friendships with the novelist Charles Dickens and the sculptor Antonio Canova. As Paxton's patron the Duke became fascinated by gardening and their alterations to the garden at Chatsworth included the creation of rockeries, fountains and glass buildings, culminating in the Great Conservatory, forerunner to the Crystal Palace, built by Paxton for the Great Exhibition of 1851. They also rebuilt the village of Edensor in the Park at Chatsworth.
The Duke wrote a "Handbook to Chatsworth and Hardwick" (published privately in 1844), in which he showed his enthusiasm and love for the two houses he owned in Derbyshire and his enjoyment of his possessions. | REEVES, William (I000034)

According to his marriage record he was born in 1758 | MILLS, Matthew (I2205)
|
| 155 |
According to Joyce he was engaged to be married to a girl called Fowler?. before he emigrated.
A month before the wedding the engagement was called off and all the wedding presents had to be returned. | BILLSON, Frederick Edmund (I000016)

According to Ron Mills, a relative, whom he thought may have been Jesse Mills, was prepared to pay the costs of sending William George Mills to Winchester College. George's mother Eva Annie insisted that he go straight into the Army instead.
He did so as a bugler.
Was this the reason behind a possible rift between the Mills and Williams families?.
It is clear that William George was prevented from knowing anything about his relatives apart from some very sketchy details.

Although Norman Forbes was never as well known as his brother Johnston Forbes-Robertson, he was a distinguished Shakespearean and played many roles; so many, in fact, that it will be easiest simply to list the plays and parts by years:
He made his stage debut in 1875 at the Gaiety Theatre, London, as Sir Harry Guildford in Henry VIII. He also played in Twelfth Night that same year.
In 1879 he joined Sir Henry Irving in The Merchant of Venice.
1881: Paris in Romeo and Juliet with Wilson Barrett.
From 1883 until 1887 he joined Sir Henry Irving's company at the Lyceum Theatre and in those years he played Claudio in Much Ado About Nothing, Gratiano in The Merchant of Venice, Rosencrantz in Hamlet, and Sir Andrew Aguecheek in Twelfth Night.
In 1890 he joined Lilly Langtry for a production of As You Like It.
In 1896 he again joined Irving's company and acted as Cloten in Cymbeline, played in Richard III, took the parts of Gobbo and Shylock in several productions of The Merchant of Venice, and, again, Sir Andrew Aguecheek.
In 1904 he once more played both Gobbo and Shylock.
In 1906 he joined Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree to take the part of Lepidus in Antony and Cleopatra.
Besides these roles he played at various times in his career Wolsey in Henry VIII, Falstaff in The Merry Wives of Windsor, and Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet.
In 1916 he acted in several films, but his career in the cinema seems to have lasted only that one year.
According to Ann Mills he toured America with Ellen Terry. Ellen called him the politest man in Britain. | ROBERTSON, Norman Forbes (I000360)

An ALP candidate whose other life as a historian and teacher was distinguished. Judith Mackinolty was a candidate for the Hills Shire Council elections in c.1962 and in the 1973 New South Wales Legislative Assembly elections for the Hills.
Judith Mackinolty was born in Melbourne in 1931, the daughter of a pharmacist, Les Allen and his wife Mary. She won a scholarship to MacRobertson Girls' High School, from which she matriculated to Melbourne University in 1949. By this time she had also been a member of the Victorian state swimming team and had won a state backstroke championship in 1947. She represented Melbourne University and Victoria in interstate competitions and remained a life long swimmer.
She graduated from the University of Melbourne with a BA, then MA with majors in English and history, with a particular interest in Australian history. In 1953, she married John Macinolty, then a country solicitor in Gippsland, later Dean of the Faculty of Law, University of Sydney. They had two children.
Judy Macinolty taught at Northmead and Doonside High Schools, and was Head Teacher History at Doonside 1970-73. In 1972 she began a Master's degree, her thesis being published as Sugar Bag Days; Sydney workers and the challenge of the 1930s depression. She was President of the NSW and Australian History Teachers' Associations. During the 1970s and 1980s she lectured at the Macquarie and NSW universities and held a research fellowship at the University of Sydney.
Her last formal work was as a project officer with the NSW Bicentennial Council. She was associated with many activities concerned with reconciliation, and worked to achieve agreement between white and Aboriginal communities around Myall Creek which resulted in a memorial acknowledging the massacre there.
