  • Hanbury, Frederick Janson
    natstand: last updated 09/12/2016 URL: www.natstand.org.uk/pdf/HanburyAF000.pdf Root person: Hanbury family Description: Overview of family Creation date: 2016 December 9 Prepared by: Richard Middleton Notes: Daniel Hanbury FRS FLS (1825 – 1875) Sir Thomas Hanbury (1832 – 1907) Sir Cecil Hanbury FLS MP ( 1871 – 1937) Frederick Janson Hanbury FLS (1851 – 1938) Press items reproduced with kind permission of The British Newspaper Archive ( www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk ) About Natstand family documents: A Natstand family document is intended to provide background information concerning the family of a deceased naturalist. It is hoped that such information will form a framework which will help interpret their surviving correspondence, specimens and records. In some cases it will also give an insight into the influences on their early lives and the family constraints within which they worked and collected. We have found that published family data concerning individuals rarely contain justification for dates and relationships and not infrequently contain errors which are then perpetuated. The emphasis in Natstand family documents will be on providing references to primary sources, whenever possible, which will be backed-up with transcriptions. Although a Natstand biography page will always carry a link to a family document, in many cases these documents will be presented without any further biographical material. We anticipate that this will occur if the person is particularly well known or is someone we are actively researching or have only a peripheral interest in. The following conventions are used: Any persons in the family tree with known natural history associations will be indicated in red type.

  • A Respectable Occupation
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Hertfordshire Research Archive The Rise and Fall of the Apothecaries’ Assistants 1815-1923. Derek Westwood Adams Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Hertfordshire for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2010 Dedication This is for my father and mother Ernest Wilfred and Hilda Adams, and my maternal grandmother Alice Wightman, all of whom, in common with the families discussed in this thesis, understood the importance of education as a means to a successful and fulfiling life. But it was particularly my father that I had in mind while engaged in this work. He was extremely proud when I passed the 11+ examination and obtained a place at Grammar School; sadly he died shortly afterwards and so was unable to enjoy my subsequent academic successes. He would have been equally proud of this achievement; sorry it took so long Dad. 1 Acknowledgements I am grateful to the Master and Wardens of the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries of London, who by allowing me access to the archives of the Society, made the research phase of this work possible. Dee Cook, the Society‘s Archivist deserves my special thanks. It was during a conversation with her that the subject of the apothecaries‘ assistants arose as a possible topic and once I had decided on it, she enthusiastically helped me to find my way about the archive and offered many helpful suggestions. Similarly the library staff at the Pharmaceutical Society have been equally helpful.
