102nd Field Ambulance, Royal Army Medical Corps served with 334th Division. The Division was formed as part of Kitchener's Fifth New Army and was mainly comprised of locally raised Pals Battalions. After initial training near home, they concentrated at Ripon in Yorkshire in mid 1915, In late August they moved to Salisbury Plain to begin final training. They proceeded to France in January 1916 and concentrated at La Crosse, east of St Omer. They were in action during the Battles of the Somme, including the capture of Scots and Sausage Redoubts, The Battles of Bazentin Ridge and Pozieres Ridge. 103rd Brigade and the Divisional Pioneers also saw action in The Battle of Flers-Courcelette. In 1917 they fought in the The First and Second Battles of the Scarpe and the The Battle of Arleux during the Arras Offensive. In August they were involved in the fighting at Hargicourt and in October they took part in The Third Battles of Ypres at the Broenbeek. In 1918 they were in action in The Battle of St Quentin and then moved to Flanders seeing action in The Battle of Estaires, The Battle of Bailleul and The First Battle for Kemmel Ridge during the Battles of the Lys, suffering heavy losses. The 34th Division was then withdrawn from fighting and on the 21st of April they moved to the area west of Poperinge for reorganisation and was engaged in digging a new defensive line between Abeele and Watou. On the 13th of May the infantry units moved to the area around Lumbres and reduced to a cadre which was then employed in the training of newly arrived American troops. By the 1st of July 1918 34th Division had been reconstituted and returned to action, at The Battles of the Soissonais, the Ourcq and the capture of Baigneux Ridge. They took part in the Final Advance in Flanders and at the Armistice was at rest in the area east of Courtrai. 34th Division was selected to join the Army of Occupation and began to move towards Germany on the 14th of November. On the 22nd of December a large number men with industrial and mining skills were demobilised. By the end of January 1919 the Division was occupying the Cologne bridgehead.

Therefore Gordon Henry Shipstone was likely to be killed during day 1 of the battle of St. Quentin.3,4

Suffocated?

Baker found Dead with Head in Dough

Mansfield Sensation

Two others overcome by fumes

A sensational discovery was made at a Mansfield bakery early this morning, an employee named William Smith, aged 46, a married man, of 18 Hibbert-street, Mansfield, being found dead, apparently from suffocation, with his head buried in a trough of dough.

Within less than an hour, two other bakers, George Bradder, single of 116 Brownlow-road, Mansfield, and Harold Shipstone, married, of Heanor, and lodging at Peck's Hill, Mansfield, were overcome by fumes but survived after medical treatment.

It appears that the bakery, which is situated in Broomhill-lane, formerly belonged to Mr. S. Binch, but on his death a short while ago the business passed into the hands of his son who lives on the premises.

Mrs. Binch told the "Post" that the ovens were fired yesterday for the first time for a fortnight, and that Smith started to work shortly before midnight.

At about 3.30 a.m. when Bradder went on duty to assist him, he found a strange smell of sulphur in the bakehouse, and Smith lying dead with his head in a trough of dough.

At the time he appears to have had no reason to connect Smith's condition with the fumes that filled the bakehouse, for, along with Shipstone, he resumed the work that Smith has started.

Within less than an hour, however, both men were overpowered by the fumes, and Shipstone collapsed unconscious on the floor.

(picture of Mr. W. Smith)

Fortunately Bradder was able to stagger to the open air, and secure the assistance of other men who carried Shipstone into Mr. Binch's house for treatment.

Both men were afterwards examined by Dr. T. Tate.

Sulphur-like Smell

He came to the conclusion that they were suffering from some sort of asphyxia.

During the morning, Bradder has revided sufficiently to be removed in one of the bakery vans to his house which was only a short distance away.

The other man, however, remained in Mr. Binch's house for some time.
As to the origin of the fumes, various theories are advanced.

One is that they arose from the dough, and another that there was a leakage from the ovens, which are situated in the same building as the bakehouse.

An employee of Mr. Binch, who had entered the bakery some time after the discovery, told the "Post" that the fumes had a distinct sulphur-like smell such as produced by a coke fire.

During the morning Mr. B. Allman, the chief sanitory inspector to the Mansfield Corporation paid a visit to the bakery.

It is understood that a post-mortem examination of the deceased is to be made, and an analysis of the dough in the trough to be carried-out.

Deceased was formerly in Nottingham, but had lived in Mansfield for about 26 years. He was an experienced baker, and before going into Mtr. Binch's employ three years ago, had worked at other bakeries in the town. He had a family of six.13

The death of Miss Helen Shipstone

The death is announced to-day of Miss Helen Shipstone, of Sutherland Lodge, Lucknow-drive, Nottingham, who will be remembered for her recent magnificent gift of valuable paintings to the Nottingham Castle Art Gallery.
Some of the pictures, 15 in number, were costly works of art, the collection being one of the most outstanding that has been handed over to the city for some years.
It was also anticipated that the donor would add to the number in the course of time. As recently as Thursday last Miss Shipstone was at the Castle, and the news of her sudden death, from pneumonia, came as a shock to the officials to-day. Miss Shipstone was the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs.
James Shipstone, formerly of Harby Lodge, Pelham-Road.30

Death of Miss Helen Shipstone

Nottingham Loses a Benefactress

Valuable Art Gifts.

Although she had not been in very good health recently, the death of Miss Helen Shipstone, which occurred at her residence, Sutherland Lodge, Lucknow-Drive, yesterday, from pneumonia, was unexpected, and came as a great shock to her friends.
Miss Shipstone was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Shipstone, and a sister of Sir Thomas Shipstone.
While taking little part in public life, her acts of private philanthropy were numberless, and many people had reason to be grateful for her charitable deeds.
Miss Shipstone had always appreciated good pictures, but it was not until comparatively late in life that she developed this taste to the point of becoming an art expert of no mean ability.

Notable Paintings.

She acquired a number of notable paintings, and it was as recently as last August that she made a gift of great value to the Nottingham Castle Museum, consisting of 12 beautiful paintings, five of which are of outstanding importance.
The painters represented are Sir Godfrey Kneller, Pietro da Cortona, Adrian van der Werff, Barend van der Meer, Sir H. Hughes Stanton, F. G. Cooper, John Linell, E. M. Wimperis, F. W. Watts, J. W. Booth and John Tennant.

Earlier in the year, Miss Shipstone had given four other paintings to the museum, and it has since transpired that the portrait of Miss Wish Wynne, which was shown in the Nicholson exhibition at the Castle last year, and which was announced to have been given to the museum anonymously was also the gift of Miss Shipstone.

The interment takes place in the Church Cemetery on Wednesday.

Research26 January 1755 Research:Some conjecture (see Ancestry family trees) that this is the son of Thomas Shipston & Anne Barton bn 1755 in Basford and married to Sarah Shirley 1778 in Bulwell, and is the same James who marries Sarah Dunn in 1788 and has a family in Darley Dale.

So in summary: Born Basford, 1755, marries Sarah Sharley in 1778. They have an Ann (1779) & George (1783) in Bulwell, then he hops to Darley Dale before 1786, marries Sarah Dunn in 1788, has 6 more children in Darley Dale (most of whom die off, as does his new wife Sarah) and he returns to die in 1826 in Bulwell (aged 72 - so fits with Basford baptism).

Not impossible, and very convenient, but not evidenced.

Would be neat if true.

Constructed from information which is available (on internet) rather than all possible information.

If this was the case, finding the burial of his first wife before 1788 would be useful... but I suspect this James (= Sarah Sharley) never strayed from Basford. Finding her burial in Basford/Bulwell after 1788 would be a clincher. I would bet they are buried together in Basford (never having left).

Note that the James marrying in Darley Dale in 1788 was NOT noted to be a widow - but had to be if the was born and married in Basford - so is unlikely to be the Basford James.

Finding the burial of this James Shipstone who married in Darley Dale would be the definitive clincher! 
Research27 May 1760 Research:A James Shipston = Elizabeth Drabble in Old Brampton, both of this parish. Too speculative to be James' father, but...

How to Celebrate A Golden Wedding

The President of the Conference visited the town on Monday for a very interesting occasion. Mr. and Mrs. J. Shipstone, who for forty-two years have been the leading members and supporters of the pretty little suburban church of New Basford, in the Halifax-place Circuit, celebrated their golden wedding, and determined to commemorate the event by clearing the debt from the chapel. In the afternoon, the President gave an interesting address. He said he had never been at a golden wedding before; he had often heard of such celebrations, and heard of them with profound interest. As Chapel Secretary, people generally sent for him when they were in trouble, when they were in a hole and wanted to be helped out of it. He had to weep with those who wept. But during the last few months, as President, he had seen Methodism under another aspect, and had to rejoice with those who rejoiced. His views on Methodism had risen marvelously during his presidency. He commended the thought of showing gratitude for a long life of mercies by freeing God's house from debt. A tea was provided gratuitously in the schoolroom, to which a large number sat down. After teas, on behalf of the trustees, leaders and members of the church, the President presented Mr. and Mrs. Shipstone with a beautifully illuminated address in a handsome frame, in which reference was made to his son, Rev. John Shipstone, who died in Ceylon, and to his late father-in-law, Rev. James Calvert Fowler, and also to the generosity and devotion to the cause of himself and wife for so many years. Congratulatory addresses were delivered by Revs. J.V.B. Shrewsbury, R. Middleton, F.J. Murrell and H.H. Whiting. The dept in the chapel stood at £375. The Chapel Committee promised £75. A bazaar at Christmas realised £85. A collection was made at the services, and promises made, reducing the amount required to £120; this amount Mr. Shipstone promised, and the Doxology was heartily sung. This is the second chapel in the Halifax-circuit which within a year has been freed from debt. Only last October, £1,000 was raised to free the circuit chapel.

(Mentioned) Newspaper1 June 1953 James Shipstone 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.79

Rev George T. Start

Death of former Eastonian. Lacemaker and Methodist Circuit Preacher

He was actively identified with the Long Eaton Bourne Methodist Church.

Gifted Local preacher

At Bourne, Mrs. Andrew Crowe exercised a formative and beneficial influence in his young life, and it was there, under the tutelage of the late Mr. James Shipstone that he first exercised his considerable pulpit gifts as a local preacher , in which capacity he was much in demand in the (then) Bourne and other circuits.

...

He entered the Wesleyan ministry after a course at Didsbury College, Manchester, he entered into his life's calling. He successfully sustained his ministry in a number of English Methodist Circuits to which he was posted from time to time.

...

Funeral held in his hime town of Totnes, prior to cremation at Plymouth.

(as he lived in Long Eaton, I assume this is James Shipstone of Long Eaton, but could be the brewer's direct family - so probably 1 of these 2.)80

Providential Escape From Drowning

On Friday last, a son of Mr. James Shipston's of Bulwell, 3 years, by some mischance fell into the Leen, which runs at the bottom of his Father's garden. Mrs. Shipston happened to look out of the chamber window and saw a child floating down the river, but did not then discern who it was; she however, ran downstairs and called out for Mr. Allen who works near. He instantly jumped in and saved the boy from a watery grave. Mr. Allen had to wade up to the chin.

New Wesleyan Chapel at Sherwood

This morning's three- day bazaar, in aid of the new Wesleyan Chapel at Sherwood, Nottingham was opened in the Mechanics Hall, Nottingham by the Sherrif (Mr. J. Jelley). In building this chapel, the trustees have anticipated the requirements of the rapidly-increasing neighbourhood. It was, they felt, a serious step to take, but looking at Sherwood as a rising district, and one likely to become an important one, the trustees considered that the chapel should be in harmony with the surroundings .. (etc. list of stall-holders in the bazaar included Mrs James Shipstone).23

Scene in a Nottingham Wesleyan Chapel
A Public Protest

Last night we received the following letter relating to a extraordinary occurrence at the Wesleyan Chapel, Sherwood, at the close of the evening service on Sunday:-

Cavendish Hill, Sherwood, Nottingham, September 9th 1889

Sir - I was present at the Sherwood Methodist Wesleyan Chapel this evening when the service was conducted and the sermon preached by a Mr. R.J. Whiteley, F.I.C., of 13 Bowers-Avenue, Woodborough-road. Mr. Whiteley's subject was the sowing of good and bad seed, and during the sermon he thought it necessary to refer to the business carried-on by brewers, wine merchant's etc., and made what I considered a grossly unfair and disgraceful attack upon persons engaged in those trades, and I was glad that Mr. James Shipstone jun. who was present got up after the service and publicly complained of the insulting remarks which the preacher had made. If the matter had ended there, I should not have troubled you with this letter, but Mr. Whitely thought it necessary to refer to the erection of certain almshouses at Sherwood Mr. John Robinson, and said it was Mr. Robinson;s duty to erect such almshouses and he had no doubt only done so to atone for the mischief caused by his business. Mr. and Mrs. Robinson have been great friends, not only to the Wesleyan church and congregation at Sherwood, but especially to the poor of Sherwood, and as a member of the Wesleyan congregation, and a resident of Sherwood, I regret that such a scandalous attach should have been made upon Mr. Robinson from the Wesleyan pulpit, and I know this regret is shared by the greater part of the church nd congregation.
Yours Truly, Wm. Clifton.A representative of this journal waited upon Mr. James Shipstone jun. at the brewery, New Basford today. In the course of an interview, Mr. Shipstone said that he had been a member of the congregation worshipping at the Wesleyan Chapel, Sherwood for a number of years and with his wife had taken an active part in the work of the church, which in included in the Broad-street Circuit. Mr. R.L. Whiteley F.I.C., is one of the staff of teachers at the University College and has upon several occasions occupied the pulpit at Sherwood by direction of Rev. J.B. Harrowell, superintendent minister. In the course of his sermon last evening Mr. Whiteley touched upon the temperance question, and said he could not understand how any sensible man could be a brewer, or how a man engage in any such business could rest comfortably at night. He would not like to stand in any brewers'ss.dak. shoes. He then referred to Mr. John Robinson, the Sheriff of Nottingham, an a man whose name was painted upon many public houses in Nottingham, and who, to atone somewhat for the mischief which was caused by his trade, had recently erected some almshouses in the vicinity of that place of worship. No man made so many paupers as a brewer did, and he prayed to the Lord to open the eyes of such men.
After the Benediction has been pronounced, and when the service was practically over, but before Mr. Whitely had left the pulpit, Mr. James Shipstone, Jun. , rising in his pew, and addressing the preacher, said that as a member of the congregation he begged to protest most strongly against thew insulting remarks which Mr. Whiteley had used with regard to brewers and their business. Perhaps he was the only private brewer amongst the congregation, but there were many members of the congregation who were indirectly interested in brewing business, and he protested upon their behalf too. It was the abuse, and not the use in moderation of alcohol that caused the mischief, and so far as he was personally concerned he pinned his faith upon the first miracle of Christ, when he turned water into wine at the marriage feast at Cana in Galilee. Nothing he had ever read in the Bible had moved him from the position he had taken up, and which he could support upon other Biblical authority. When he found he could no longer rest his faith upon the words of Christ, and could believe that the trade in which he was engaged had been denounced by Christ, then we would "chuck" it, but not until.

Mr. Shipstone's observations were followed by a running comment of "hear, hear" from th large congregation, which had remained behind to listen to this singular controversy in chapel.

Mr. Whitely, in reply, said that he had made the matter a subject of prayer, and he prayed the Almighty that the fear of man might not deter him from doing what he felt was his duty. He was sorry if he had wounded Mr. Shipstone's feelings and given him pain, and if Mr. Shipstone cared to discuss the matter elsewhere he was quite prepared to go into it with him. This terminated the incident and the congregation separated.

Mr. Shipstone said that he was indignant that such an attack was made upon those belonging to the brewing trade, and pointed out to our representative that Mr. John Robinson had liberally assisted the congregation at Sherwood, whilst some time ago a bazaar was held at his (Mr. Shipstone's) house and grounds in support of one of the congregation institutions was opened by Mrs. Robinson. Mr. Shipstone formally brought the matter under the notice of the superintendent minister.24

"An extraordinary scene was witnessed

on Sunday (8 Sep 1889) at the Wesleyan Chapel, Sherwood, Nottingham. The preacher made an attack upon persons engaged in the liquor traffic, and, referring to the erection in the immediate vicinity of an almshouse chapel by Mr John Robinson, sheriff of Nottingham and a large local brewer, said that Mr Robinson ought to atone for the mischief caused by his business. Thereupon Mr. James Shipstone, another brewer, a member of the congregation, rose and publicly protested against the remarks of the preacher, amid considerable excitement."

Nottingham and Notts. Licenced Victuallers' Association

The fifty-second anniversary of the Nottingham and Notts Licensed Victuallers' Association was celebrated last night by a dinner in the large hall of the Mechanic's Institution, Nottingham, where there was a representative gathering.
Mr. James Shipstone, jun. (of Messrs. J. Shipstone and Sons, New Basford) presided, the vice-chair being occupied by Mr. Charles Morris (Messrs. Morris and Place). The company numbered about 160, including several delegates from the kindred associations in distant towns.
The Chairman was supported by Councillor C. Lovett, Messrs. W.A. Brown, E.W. Field (Nottingham Brewery Company), T. Sutherns (Ind Coupe and Company), J Severn and H.A. Dixon (Warwick and Richardson's), J. Farr (the Home Brewery Company), J. Butler, J.S. Headerly, G. Shipley, W.G. Cotsford (Dubois Freres and Cagnion), H. Cotton and A. Williams (solicitor to the association).

Mr. S. Watson (secretary of the association) announced the receipt of letters regretting inability to be present from the Mayor of Nottingham (Councillor S.H. Sands), who was detained by an engagement in London, the Sheriff of Nottingham (Councillor Brownsworth), Viscount Newark M.P., Mr. H. Smith Wright M.P., Mr. Arnold Morley M.P., Mr. H. Broadhurst M.P., Ald. Sir John Turney etc . ...

...

The Chairman, in proposing the toast of the evening "Success to the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Licensed Victuallers Association", said that after the excitement and agitation of the last few months it was quite refreshing to meet on an occasion like that.After all the accusations and threatenings and slanders which had been levelled at their heads, it was quite refreshing to see them standing on their feet, and it seemed to him there had been a good deal of bark and yet, after all, very little bite. (Laughter and applause). But it would not do to overlook the fact that year by year the teetotallers were setting on foot fresh schemes and plots to vex and harass them in the carrying on of their trade. It would not be possible to point to any period of the trade's history when the interests and businesses of the licensed victualler and also that of the brewer had been so unscrupulously attacked, but he had faith to believe their interests had taken a deeper root, and their businesses a deeper foundation than their enemies imagined, and that they were, and would be, able to parry and to resist the thrusts and blows of a spiteful and malicious tyranny. (Applause).

Licenced victuallers were told that their licence was only an annual one, and that they possessed no vested interest. History and established custom did not confirm this statement. No licence was ever issued on such an understanding, for no sane person could possibly be found to accept a licence on such extraordinary conditions. If such were the case, he thought the law would adopt, and those who administered the law, would be to make such a condition clearly and explicitly understood, whereas no such thing ever took place. (Applause.) It was the law of custom that if a person conducted his house satisfactorily his licence was always renewed. Such a proceeding the law has always sanctioned, and under this sanction the immense capital lying in the trace had been embarked. If a legitimate business, carried on in a legitimate manner, if the means they rightly employed to get their livelihood and support their families was not a vested interest, then he asked, what was? Not all the mysterious sophistry of the most practised juggler in his art could transmogrify it into anything else.

...

The remaining toasts included "The Town and Trade of Nottingham", "The Licensed Victuallers Defence League of England and Wales", "The Honorable Members of the Association", "The Chairman" and "The Vice Chairman".26

Letters to the Editor

- The Brewer's Argument

Sir, - it does not follow that the Liquor Traffic (Local Control) Bill is an "unjustifiable interference(?) with the liberty and comfort of the working man" because Mr. James Shipstone, jun., says it is. I have no doubt that he is quite competent to defend his trade, but I have some doubt as to his authority to speak and act for working men.

It seems to me there was never a more working man's measure introduced to the House of Commons. What is the position of the working men in the House on this question? Surely they have a much better right to speak on behalf of working men than Mr. Shipstone. I believe in fact that to a man they are in favour of the Bill.

Mr. Shipstone is alarmed because comparatively few persons will be able to vote on the question of the Bill become law in its present shape. Very well then, let some friend of the trade when the Bill gets into Committee moving an amendment giving all adults - males and females - the power to vote. I feel sure there will be no opposition from the temperance men in the House - no, not even if they include children.

Does Mr. Shipstone, jun., and do others in the trade know, for what purpose their trade was first instituted? It will perhaps be interesting to him (as I am sure it will be to those working men whose interests are giving him so much concern just now) to know. The present legalised trade in alcoholic drinks had its origin in an institution in one of the most base and dishonorable tricks that ever stained the annals of a great nation. I quote from the preface to a work just issued from the Press by Blackie and Son the following facts. "The Domestic MSS. of Elizabeth's Reign vol 1., A.D. 1558, which can be seen in the National Record office, reveals the terrible story. A nobleman (how frightful the perversion), writing to Cecil, Secretary of State, complains of th independence of the common people, peasants, farmers and artisans thus - "The wealth of the meaner sort is the very summit of rebellion, the occasion of their insolence, of the contempt of the nobility. It must be cured by providing, as it were, of some sewers or channels to draw or suck their money by subtle and indirect means, to be handled insensibly. The nobility and squirearchy got the power to licence their servants to sell ale and wine throughout the country; the licences were lavishly dispensed, yielding an income to the licensers, and so the proprietors became corrupted in their morals and paralysed in their industry. Freude tells the frightful story, and Commissioner Tyldsley reports to Cecil (Vol 1. page 462) "that the alehouses - the very stock and stay of false thieves and vagabonds - were supported by the gentlemen for the worst of motives. I have spoken to sharpen you against the Devil, and all his wicked instruments." (September 3, 1561).

Such is the origin of the liquor traffic, and on the strength of such facts, I fearlessly assert that it was conceived in ignoble and infamous selfishness, and bound upon the necks of the toiling masses - in whose name Mr. James Shipstone, jun., assumes to speak - with a purpose so bad, irredeemably wicked and diabolical, as to baffle the dictionary in supplying words to characterise it. The whole scheme is itself the best demonstration that the noble scoundrels who devised it were indeed, the wicked instruments of the Devil, as Commissioner Tyldsley says in writing to Cecil.

In spite of those facts, Mr. James Shipstone, jun., and others of the trade - because of their "Goddess" is in danger - say that the Liquor Traffic (Local Control) Bill is "dishonest," "confiscatory", "robbery" &c., and prate that it will rob the poor man of his beer. Why, if the measure become the law of the land, and it is put in force, whose votes, I should like to know if not the working man's, will be the means of so putting the law into force. What has Mr. James Shipstone, jun.'s traffic done for labour? For every £5 spent on woollen cloth the workman gets at least £3. On made-up clothes he gets at least £3 11s., and so on in the case of almost every other article of everyday use - but drink. For every £5 spent in drink, 2s. 6d. only goes into the labour market.

I am, sir, your obedient servant,
Daniel Long

Mr. G. Wigley, J.P., who presided, said that it behoved them straightway to put themselves in a fighting attitude to retain the seat for Mr. James Shipstone. That gentleman had served on the Council for three years, and he thought he was right in saying that the members of the Council on the opposite side would bear testimony to the good work he had done in that Council. Further, he said, it was possible that there would be a contest, and therefore they wanted to assure Mr. Shipstone that his seat was perfectly safe.

Mr. James Shipstone, in the course of his preliminary remarks, deprecated the idea that politics should enter into municipal elections. He then referred to the gas undertaking of the Corporation. Instead of the gas being manufactured in three widely separated establishments, he advocated that is should be made at one centre under one efficient staff. That, he believed, would enable the Corporation to supply gas at a much cheaper rate. During the last three years, he added, the gas undertaking has contributed towards the relief of the rates no less a sum than £96,000. In conclusion, Mr. Shipstone said that some gentlemen had tried to injure him by insinuating that he had become a member of the Gas Committee solely for his own private benefit, and in refuting "that dastardly statement" we wanted to "throw it back in the teeth of the slanderer".

A resolution was passed adopting Mr. Shipstone as a candidate for election in the ward.59

Mapperley Ward

Alderman Elborne "Surprised at Liberal Competition"

A meeting was held last evening at the Haydn Road Schools, Sherwood, in support of the Conservative candidate of Mr. James Shipstone for Mapperley Ward. Ald. E. N. Elborne presided.

The Chairman said he was surprised when he heard that Mr. Shipstone was going to be opposed. They did not complain of the opposition. There were several wards in which the Liberals were not being opposed, so that they (the Liberals) could not say that the Conservatives' policy was one of retaliation.

Mr. James Shipstone said the Radicals had challenged his position from, he ventured to think, a spirit of pure political hostility. He referred to what he characterised as the "extremely unfair" statements of Mr. Hamilton, who presided at the adoption meeting of his opponent. He took exception also to the words of Mr. Hamilton -

"That persons who were intimately concerned in the drink trade ought to be restrained from becoming members of municipalities or having a say in the administration of municipal affairs."

He however, regarded his business as being quite as honorable as that of Mr. Hamilton, whatever that might be. All he (Mr. Shipstone) asked was for fair play. He did not have the honour of Mr. Hamilton's acquaintance, but concluded from what he had said that he was a man of narrow and unfair views. So long as his trade was burdened in the way it was he resented such insinuations on the part of Mr. Hamilton, whether they were made as the result of ignorance or political prejudice.

Mr. Shipstone Objects

Further, Mr. Shipstone objected to the statements of Mr. Marlow, who said at his adoption meeting:

"That he never entered a public house during an election, and there has never been so much as a glass of beer given away on his behalf at an election".

He did not know whether in aking use of those words, Mr. Hamilton intended to eulogise his conduct by refraining from entering a public-house, or to infer that such places were unfit to enter. If any contest in which he (Mr. Shipstone) was engaged depended upon a glass of beer he would instantly refuse to be elected.

Dr. Milner, who supported a resolution in favour of Mr. Shipstone's candidature, said the "Nottingham Daily Express" seemed to be for ever writing on anything he had to say. That paper reported him as follows -

"A Dishonorable statement" was Dr. Milner's description of an assertion he attributed to Mr. A. Richardson that the Tory Party, though they were assured more schools were needed, refrained from building them in case the rates should go up".

Question of New Schools

(further description and complaint that Mr. Richardson's words were not only untrue but dishonest and libelous).60

Municipal Election Results

Lessons of the Fight as heard at Liberal Club

Good Auguries

(after declarations in their respective wards, the candidates joined the successful Liberals at the Gladstone Club)

Mr. T.A. Lewis, who has reduced Mr. Shipstone's majority by 169, was not at all dissatisfied with the result in the Mapperley Ward. He thought it augered well for the success of the Liberals when the next Parliamentary election was fought.

At the Conservative Club

Councillor James Shipstone was not satisfied with the result of his election, for he believed that some of his supporters had been frightened by the inclemency of the weather, and had not taken the trouble to vote. Mr. Shipstone also joined in the chorus about the nature of the opposition.61

(Mentioned) Newspaper25 August 1925 James Shipstone was mentioned in a newspaper article on 25 August 1925. The growth of the local brewery

The late Mr. James Shipstone (one time member of Nottingham City Council) joined his father in the business in the early seventies (along with brother Thomas).93 
(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.94 
(Mentioned) Newspaper1 April 1961 He was mentioned in a newspaper article on 1 April 1961. As Mr James Shipstone, Brother of Enoch Shipstone, deceased (who was the Father of Miss Dorothea Shipstone).
Subject: Dorothea Shipstone Mentioned: Enoch Shipstone, James Leslie Shipstone, Thomas Shipstone, James Shipstone, Sylvia Kathleen Shipstone and Gladys Muriel Shipstone.95 
Anecdote*1969 The author (Annie Eliza Snell nee Shipstone) refers "Uncle Jim rather frightened me when he called at the Manor House. He had grown a very long beard, almost to his knees, and I remember noticing the small bits of egg, caught up in the middle, remnants from his breakfast, I presumed! I became very friendly with his wife, Auntie Louie. Their children, according to my somewhat frail memory of them were called Harry, Edith, Gordon, Chris, and Ron."96

A "Good News" Story
Golden Wedding Celebration
Milestone in the life of Mr. and Mrs. James Shipstone

Long Eaton Lay Preacher's Record of Service

A young clerk employed by a firm of wines and spirit merchants at Eastwood used to make regular visits to the rectory on business, and it was there that he met a young nurse.

Their acquaintance developed, and for four years he courted this young Rectory nurse until one memorable day in 1889 - April 2, to be exact - the wedding bells rang
(picture labelled "Mr & Mrs James Shipstone")
out and they were married by the Rector, the late Rev. H. W. Plumtree, in the Eastwood Parish Church.

And so we come over the years and congratulate Mr. and Mrs. James Shipstone, of The Nest, Recreation-street, Long Eaton, who celebrated their golden wedding on Sunday, and now at 73 and 71 years of age respectively, are looking forward to the time when their diamond wedding day will dawn.

Mr. Shipstone, who is a cousin of Sir Thomas Shipstone, of Midland Brewery fame (#), can be described as one of the best-known Nonconformists in this district. He is - as an example of this - a very familiar figure at local funerals, for during his many years' association with Long Eaton he has conducted well over 500 burials in his capacity as a lay preacher.

Born at New Basford

A native of New Basford, Nottingham, he was taken to Eastwood as a child, and was "schooled" at the local National School, later becoming a time-keeper with a Nottingham hosiery manufacturing firm.

As a young man he went back to Eastwood, and was employed in the wines and spirits business for nine years, but throughout his life has always been a strong supporter of temperance, his principles in this direction leading to his association with local Bands of Hope in days gone by.

Mr. and Mrs. Shipstone came to Long Eaton nearly 47 years ago, when he was appointed as the local agent for the Singer Sewing Machine Co., Ltd. Some years later he moved into the Stapleford and Sandiacre district to become Assistant District Superintendent of the company, and during the latter part of the war, he was in charge of the Ilkeston and Long eaton district.

In 1919 Mr. Shipstone was transferred back to this town and served as manager-salesman until his retirement in 1930, after being in the company's service for 38 years.

A Local Preacher

That's his business history, but perhaps ist is in connection with local Methodism that Long Eaton knows his best.

As soon as he arrived in this district, he became associated with the Bourne Methodist Church, of which he has been a prominent member for nearly half a century.

He was on the Chapel Trust Committee, assistant superintendent of the Sunday School years ago, class leader for 33 years and a most esteemed local preacher for 45 years in the Long Eaton Bourne Primitive Methodist Circuit.

It was only natural that while at Sandiacre he should attend the old Primitive Methodist Church, which has given way before the march of modern progress and is now a firm's premises. He was only at Sandiacre for seven years, yet in that time held similar offices to those he has filled at Bourne.

That his services in the local religious world are appreciated was fully realised by his election to the presidency of the Long Eaton Free Church Council, a position he held for the customary period of one year.

Mrs. Shipstone may not have been in the public eye so much, but one must remember that she has been the person who has made much of Mr. Shipstone's work possible. They have had ten children, five of whom are living.

The great milestone in their married life was recorded by a little family celebration at the home on Saturday.

Mr. and Mrs. Shipstone, both of whom enjoy good health, have received many telegrams of congratulation and good wishes, including messages from the members of the Bourne Church and Professor P. Ford (Professor of Economics for Southampton University) and family, who are old friends of the Shipstone family.

Townspeople, generally, will join with us in extending our felicitations to this veteran and highly respected Long Eaton couple, with a hope that they will continue to enjoy the best of health and fortune.

Grand Old Man of Methodism

Mr. James Shipstone Dies At The Age Of 82 Years

Mr. James Shipstone, the "Grand Old Man of Methodism" in Long Eaton dies at the age of 82 years last weekend at his home, 36 Recreation Street, Long Eaton. He had been ill since December 1947 at which time he was obliged to give up taking an active part in church work.

Well known in Long Eaton and district as a lay-preacher, Mr. Shipstone had been engaged in this voluntary work for 56 years. Immediately he came into the town in 1892 he joined the Bourne Primitive Methodist Church and served on the Chapel Trust Committee, was assistant Sunday School superintendent and a class leader for 32 years. He was a member of this church for 56 years.

(photo in article "Mr. J. Shipstone")

Mr. Shipstone had the record of having officiated at more than 1,000 funerals, in addition to weddings and baptisms.

Married in 1890

Although a native of New Basford, Mr. Shipstone was taken to Eastwood as a child and there received his schooling at the local National Schools. As a young man, he went back to his birthplace and found employment in the wine and spirit business, although throughout his life he was a strong supporter of temperance.

While engaged in this trade, Mr. Shipstone married in 1889, and three years later he came with his wife to Long Eaton as an agent for Singer Sewing Machines. He had a small shop in High-street Long Eaton, but a few years later moved to the Stapleford and Sandiacre district to become district superintendent of the company. During the latter part of the 1914-18 war he was in charge of the Ilkeston and Long Eaton Division.

Sales Manager

Transferred back to Long Eaton in 1919, Mr. Shipstone served as manager-salesman until his retirement in 1930, after completing 38 years with the firm. Although he was then 65, Mr. Shipstone continued working until he reached his eightieth year as an agent of the Progressive Trading Company.

One of a Methodist family, Mr. Shipstone was greatly influenced concerning religion by the late Rev. J. Flanagan, a Methodist evangelist whose sermon at Eastwood was listened to by Mr. Shipstone as a youth of 18. From that date he preached and addressed meetings continually.

Having preached at all the Free Churches in the district and being generally recognised as one of the leading Nonconformists in the district, Mr. Shipstone was elected to the presidency of the Long Eaton Free Church Council, holding the position for the customary period of one year.

Whilst living at Sandiacre he attended the Old Primitive Methodist Church, and although there for only seven years he filled most of the offices he had also held at Bourne.

"Friendly Old Man"

Many tributes have been paid to the friendly old man including the following: - "Mr. Shipstone was a highly respected and much loved man ion Long Eaton. He had the great gift of friendship, and his cheery smile and kindly greeting as he passed about the streets will long be remembered by all who came into contact with him. He always had a special interest in children. His interests in public life did not stop at the boundaries of long Eaton: they embraced national and international problems, and he was especially concerned with the achievement of world peace on a Christian basis".

The funeral took place on Wednesday at Long Eaton Cemetery, preceded by a service at Bourne Church conducted by the Rev. J. Graham, of Ilkeston, assisted by the Rev. J.A. Tingle and the Rev. C.T. Santry.

Family mourners were:
Mr. and Mrs. J.W. Shipstone (oldest son and daughter-in-law);
Mr. and Mrs. A. Booth (son-in-law and eldest daughter);
Mr. J. E. Shipstone (son);
Mr. and Mrs. K. Shipstone (son and daughter-in-law);

Rev George T. Start

Death of former Eastonian. Lacemaker and Methodist Circuit Preacher

He was actively identified with the Long Eaton Bourne Methodist Church.

Gifted Local preacher

At Bourne, Mrs. Andrew Crowe exercised a formative and beneficial influence in his young life, and it was there, under the tutelage of the late Mr. James Shipstone that he first exercised his considerable pulpit gifts as a local preacher , in which capacity he was much in demand in the (then) Bourne and other circuits.

...

He entered the Wesleyan ministry after a course at Didsbury College, Manchester, he entered into his life's calling. He successfully sustained his ministry in a number of English Methodist Circuits to which he was posted from time to time.

...

Funeral held in his hime town of Totnes, prior to cremation at Plymouth.

(as he lived in Long Eaton, I assume this is James Shipstone of Long Eaton, but could be the brewer's direct family - so probably 1 of these 2.)45

Ref: XV, 426 Shipstone, James mother: Fletcher.3,4 
(Child) Baptism24 November 1848 James Shipstone was baptised on 24 November 1848 at Bulwell, NTT, James son of John & Ann Shipstone - presume Ann to be a mistake for Hannah (there is no John & Ann family in the area at the time).1 
 He was the son of John Shipston and Hannah Fletcher. 
(Death from Burial) Death*between 25 November 1848 and 10 March 1849 From the burial record, James Shipstone died between 25 November 1848 and 10 March 1849 Stated as "CHILD" for male Birth entry in IGI, so may have died as an infant (assuming they associated the burial with the right James). Parents stated as John Shipstone and Hannah Fletcher.

Infant means probably under 5 years.5,6 
(Child) Birth-AltDecember 1848 James Shipstone, son of John Shipston and Hannah Fletcher, was also reported to have been born in December 1848 at Bulwell, NTT, From IGI male Birth entry. States parents to be John Shipstone and Hannah Fletcher.5,3 
(Interred) Burial*11 March 1849 James Shipstone was buried on 11 March 1849 at Bulwell, NTT,
As James Shipston, Bulwell, infant.
Is this the James age 0? Yes. Almost certainly.7 
Research*11 March 1849 Research: at Bulwell, NTT,There is a burial of James Shipston, infant 11 Mar 1849 - why do I think this is ours?
There are James' born in 1841, 1846, 1848.

1841 survives as son of James in 1851 census -
1846 survives (as James Shipstone jnr).
so I suppose this burial being James of John and Hannah is a reasonable assumption!

GRO index shows age of this death to be "5" now corrected to zero (the 5 may have been weeks), so I am happy this is ours.1,7,8

Note25 March 1925 Article on website regarding the Story of Mapperley Park Tennis Club, by Chris Weir.
"The Hall itself, along with some of its grounds, was taken over by Nottingham Corporation as a hostel for University College. However a plot of land lying at the corner of Carisbrooke Drive and Mapperley Hall Drive remained undeveloped, possibly because it was badly drained and prone to flooding. Then by an indenture of the 14th September 1904 this plot was conveyed from William B. Starr to John Dane Player, the tobacco manufacturer, for the sum of £12,000. Apparently this corner plot included a pond, probably once part of the Hall's grounds, and as this may have presented difficulties for developers, the site continued to remain unused for some years."
"In a conveyance of the 25th March 1925, kept in the club's archives, a 2,595 square yard portion of the original corner plot was sold by Player to James H. Shipstone, who at the time was living on Arlington Drive, for the sum of £1,250."40 
Note15 May 1925 Article on website regarding the Story of Mapperley Park Tennis Club, by Chris Weir.
"A few months later, on the 15th May 1925, Shipstone leased the land to a group of lessees who together represented what was to become Mapperley Park Tennis Club."

"A covenant in the lease stated that the land was only to be used as 'a lawn tennis or other similar private club sports ground'. In addition it stated that the lessees were not to allow 'any persons other than the members of Mapperley Park Tennis Club or servants of the said Club, or the guests of the said Club, to use the demised premises'. They also had to agree to keep the land in good condition and at the end of each season 'to replace with good sound turf such of the turf as shall or may be worn'."40

St Augustine's New Basford

New window given by Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Shipstone

More than £700 has been raised by St. Augustine's Church, New Basford, since July last for the renovation and decoration of the church, and a new west window has been given by Mr. and Mrs. J.H. Shipstone.

Sunday next will be observed as a thank-offering day, and collections will be devoted to clearing a debt on Church expenses and to helping the Assistant Clergy Fund.

The new window will be dedicated by the Bishop of Southwell in the morning. and the Very Rev. J.W. Conybeare (Provost of Southwell Cathedral) will preach at a thanksgiving service in the evening.

The new window, which is of six lights and foils, and is designed to illustrate the landing and reception of St. Augustine at Ebbsfleet, in the Isle of Thanet, A.D. 597.

St. Augustine is shown at the head of his band of white-robed monks, with King Ethelbert and his wife Bertha receiving them. The former are announced as "Strangers from Rome", and the King and Queen are listening to St. Augustine's sermon, which is being translated by an interpreter. Men of the bodyguard, warriors and councillors attend on the king and queen, and ships are shown in the background.52
 
Note*21 May 1936 The west window commemorated the introduction of Christianity into England by St. Augustine, showing his landing and reception in the Isle of Thanet in 597A.D. It was the gift of James Henry Shipstone and Gertrude, his wife in 1936. Six lights designed by Gustave Hiller of Liverpool.11

BISHOP DEDICATES NEW WEST WINDOW

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

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

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

Public Worship a Duty

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

Speaking of the main purpose of public worship - to honour and glorify God - the Bishop said there was a danger in the re-action of the old idea of Sunday of the puritanical view, that we should forget the main purpose of Sunday to worship God. However much we might value healthy recreation and open-air advantages that were so much appreciated today. We should fail sadly if, first of all, we did not recognise our duty of honouring and worshipping God. Worship should be the expression, not only of our attitude towards God, but our attitude towards life.53

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

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

"Then Mr. S.J. Browne, the club's president, came to the rescue. In 1950 Mr. Browne negotiated a more realistic sum of £1,250 for the land, along with a mortgage raised through the club's deeds. He himself offered the club an interest free loan of £250. Mr. Browne had saved the day. It seems, from the minutes, that Mr. Shipstone had been reluctant to plunge the club into such a difficult position Indeed the minutes record that: 'Before we consider the future, I should like to record our gratitude to Mr. Shipstone for the generous way he has dealt with us over the last 10 years.40' "

(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.70

A Nottingham Film

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

Licensing Bill Thin End of Wedge

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

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

Monopoly nonsense

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

Defamatory Notes sent to Judge and J.P.

Nottingham Woman Charged under 1360 Act.

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

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

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

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

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

Involved in Court Actions.

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

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

Claim for Damages.

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

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

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

Not concerned in Case

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

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

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

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


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

Written in same vein.

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

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

Mrs. King had now obtained a maintenance order and was living with her mother. She realized her mistake and was very sorry for what she had done.33
 
Living*1950 James Leslie Shipstone was living in 1950 at Normanton Manor House, Normanton, NTT.14 
Research*before 2 August 1950 Research:There is a divorce before either of them re-marry.

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

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

Dorking News

In the Divorce court

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

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

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

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

Welcome and farewell

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

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

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

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


First for 22 years


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

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

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

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

The First Day at the Welcome Inn


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

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

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

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

Beer soon to cost 2d. pint more

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

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

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

Unfair

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

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

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

No Stampeding

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

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

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

Small scale rails ... on a large scale thanks to Stan

... about the work of another kind of artist - a man who has become an acknowledged expert in the construction of railway layouts and rolling stock.

...
and is about to retire from working in his model railway shop in Leicester from 1944.
...

He has designed and built layouts for stores all over the country and many for private individuals. Most were built between 1950 and 1970.

One layout that he took special pride in belonged to the late James Shipstone, the brewer and featured many of Stan's hand-built locomotives. It was largely due to the number of requests from Mr. Shipstone that Stan got "hooked" on modelling proper.

Clothes Prop Used in Canal Rescue

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

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

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

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

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

County Hall Nottingham

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

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

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

John Shipstone was charged with having assaulted Elizabeth Sturland, at Bulwell, on 8th instant. The defendant admitted striking the woman, but pleaded in justification that she struck him first. The magistrates, however, told Shipstone it was a cowardly act to strike a woman and fined him £1 5s 0d, including costs.14

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

Wesleyan Methodist Circuit quarterly meeting

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

Mr. John Shipstone passed creditably through a theological examination, and was unanimously accepted as a fully accredited local preacher.7
 
Note*1868 John Shipstone listed in Methodist Ministers, as a Wesleyan commencing 1868, and dying in 1880.8 
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

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
 
Burial*3 October 1936 He was buried on 3 October 1936 at Grave 505, Section E, Darnall Cemetery, Sheffield, YKS.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

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.
