451	According to Barbara Gadd, Jessie worked for the drapery firm of Messrs Cordeux & Sons at Regent Street & Saville Place in Clifton, and walked to work from Bedminster.	HARTSHORNE, Flora Jessie (I9)
452	According to Ella Farrage, Ann Thompson was in 1778 the first mistress of the Old Charity School, South Shields at a salary of 8-8-0. In fact the minutes of the school trustees show that it was an Elizabeth Peacock who was appointed in 1779 at the said salary. She served at least until 1815, and a Mrs Fowler took over in 1824. Mrs Ann Thompson was appointed as Mistress to the School on 2nd May 1831 at a salary of Â£15 per annum. This was raised the following year to Â£18 per annum, a salary she was still receiving in 1839. The minute books also record the help given in 1831 and 1832 to the Girls' School by Mrs. Fairles, wife of Nicholas Fairles. He was one of the school's Trustees, and was instrumental in securing the preservation of the school when it was under threat of closure. He was murdered in 1832. Ella Farrage recalled that Mrs. Thompson's daughter, Martha, was companion to Mrs. Fairles - probably through the school connection. Among the school's benefactors on its institution in 1772 were William Thompson sr (who donated 5 guineas) and William Thompson jr (who donated 2 guineas). They subsequently served as school Trustees. They might be related to Ann's husband.	HARRISON, Ann (I726)
453	According to Ella Farrage: "Worked for Hull & Barnsley Railway Works. Educated at Blue Coat School. Estate in Leicester in Chancery. Majority of family in Hull".	RUTTER, William (I537)
454	According to George Gadd, when young she tried to run away to Gretna Green with her lover, but her father gave chase and brought her back. In her pique, she married Mr. Scull, an illiterate farm worker. Barbara Gadd distinctly remembers as a child visiting her in her house behind a church.	MILLINER, Sarah Maria (I86)
455	According to Harold GADD (who heard it from his father, who had known James MILLINER), Mary's father was an astronomer, and the family lived at Holt, nr Melksham. The only two Banks baptisms in the Holt registers are to Donley George and Charlotte BANKS. One of these children might be the Henry BANKS, stone mason aged 53, born Melksham, living in Bedminster in 1861. Mary might alternatively be the daughter of George BANKS - he was a widower when he married Lucy SHEPHERD in 1822 in Melksham. His previous marriage was to Mary KINGTON, 17 Jun 1799 at Melksham. Mary MILLINER (BANKS) died in the same area of Melksham as Lucy BANKS had lived. Against this theory is the fact that Mary did not join the Baptist Church until 1837, while George was a member from before Mary's birth. William HERSCHEL was active as an astronomer in Bath (less than 10 miles from Holt), from where in 1781 he discovered Uranus. Astronomers at the time were themselves scientific instrument makers. It's possible that Harold GADD's account is a confused memory of musical instrument making, as practised by England's foremost maker Benjamin BANKS in Salisbury.	BANKS, Mary (I81)
456	According to Helsby: A Yorkshire branch came from John Rutter, a younger son of Kingsley, who had married a Conyers of New Malton (also connected with Rutters through the Nevills and others). St. Michael's church, New Malton has many Rutter tombs. An earlier branch settled in Kirkby, Cleveland circa Henry VIII. William Rutter in 1565 mentions his three sons Thomas, Robert & John. ["Pedigree of the Family of Le Roter, vel RUTTER in Cheshire", T. Helsby, 1880 {British Library ref. 9914.p.37}]	Family: North-east RUTTER / (F1224)
457	According to his daughter Barbara, he was kind and loving, well respected and liked by his work colleagues. Very good looking with an extremely dry sense of humour. Good mathematician. Moved to Lancashire with Bristol Aircraft during World War II as a junior foreman. Most of the workforce returned to Bristol after the War, but he remained having met Nell Smith. Factory was taken over by Courtaulds and subsequently by English Electric. Tom was made Superintendent, and was a member of the Royal College of Aircraft Engineers. Hobbies included golf (member of Whalley Golf Club), fishing (salmon & trout) {Ruby recounted having spent her honeymoon in the Wye Valley watching him fishing!}, and breeding tropical fish. Secretary of the Local Society, member of the Local Working Men's Club, and a Freemason. A slightly different picture of him was painted by Ruby, who branded him a compulsive liar! It wasn't until his death that she discovered that she was older than him - he had told her that he was two years her senior. He endeavoured to keep in touch with his daughter Vivienne after his divorce, but Ruby was not happy about this and tried to prevent contact. He offered to pay for Vivienne's university education, but Ruby insisted that she should go out to work instead. He once visited Vivienne in the Tax Office where she was working, but she was not aware of his identity. When he was 40 he had two operations, one on his tonsils, the other on his sinuses, and his health subsequently deteriorated. He spent long stretches in hospital having treatment for heart disease. Admitted to hospital on 31st August, heart attack on 5th September from which he seemed to be recovering when he had further attack and died whilst having breakfast on 6th.

460	According to relatives in Bristol, George was reputed to have been a very cruel man, especially so to the children of his brother James. He did, however, take in James's children when they were orphaned. Perhaps the girls were not grateful for being sent to an orphanage in Bristol. In Bristol it was also said that in revenge for his cruelty, natives in Jamaica stoned him to death while he was swimming. This notion adds another twist to the announcement in the Falmouth Post, Friday 19th February 1875: "We regret to announce the death of the Reverend George Milliner, Baptist Minister of Waldensia Chapel in Trelawny, on February 14th. The deceased met his death at Southfield Penn, a few miles from this town, in the River which runs through the property, whither he had gone that morning, having taken his towel and soap with him as was his custom, for a bath. His long absence causing alarm, a person was sent to look for him and found him dead in the river. Mr. Milliner leaves a Widow, and several children to lament their sad loss."	MILLINER, George (I82)

485	After peat cutting one day, he took a swipe at an eider duck with her five chicks, killing the mother. An old woman who saw this told him it was cruel and that the same could happen to his children before the end of the year. Mary Davidson died that year leaving their five children motherless. 9th September 1876 Shetland Times: SUDDEN DEATH IN A FISHING BOAT It is sometimes our painful duty to inform the public of deaths by drowning, the cause of which is generally heavy seas breaking over an open boat as she flies from them in a gale, and on such occasions it is only the exception when one or two out of a crew are saved from the keel by a boat or ship chancing to pass at the time. The circumstances attending the case we are about to relate are of quite a different nature. Thomas Goodlet, sen., a native of Burra Isle, and aged about seventy-five years, died suddenly while on duty in a small boat transporting peats, on the 21st August. He was in his usual health, talking to his son and daughter, who were in the boat with him, and it was just as they were hoisting the sail and he handing the sheet to his daughter to hand aft to her brother, who was steering, that in a minute of time life was gone, and he fell down a corpse. It appears they had just got in their cargo of peats, and in Cliff Sound on their way home, when the sudden, but we cannot say unexpected, call came. It appears the old man had been impressed with the fact that he had not long to live, he having a few days previous been in Scalloway with a piece of wood to be so cut as to suit for being his coffin. He had been married three times, and had 19 children with the first and third wives, the second having died shortly after their marriage.	GOODLAD, Thomas (I10472)
