  • The Waterlow Family of London
    The Waterlow family of London 1. Introduction. The Waterlows were one of the wealthiest and most influential families in the City of London during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, but most people nowadays do not recognise the name. Members of my own family worked for them for some 80 years from 1875, as both house servants and employees in their business ventures, and there is possibly a much earlier connection, involving the rescue of a very young Sydney Waterlow who had wandered un- noticed into a sugar refinery in Whitechapel about 1826, and which may well explain the later benevolence shown by him and his family to ours. My grandmother was the illegitimate child of one of the Waterlow menfolk, as the result of his liaison with a servant-girl at Christmas, 1880! The earliest Waterlows found in England were refugees from the persecution of Protestants in northern France about 1628, and as for many other non-indigenous families (such as also were our Jaggers) it is a very uncommon surname in these islands. Now that all of the censuses for England and Wales 1841 – 1911 inclusive are fully indexed and available on Internet, the numbers recorded can easily be found…… Within these numbers, there were three main concentrations of the Year Waterlow name in England, each roughly of the same size, namely our own 1841 32 family based in Central London, another community centred upon the 1851 58 east end of the city which is probably descended from a branch of 1861 64 same in earlier days, and an isolated group in rural Lincolnshire which 1871 80 probably has no tangible direct connection with the London families.

  • Meeting One's Maker: Commemoration and Consumer Choice in York Cemetery
    Meeting One's Maker: Commemoration and Consumer Choice in York Cemetery Two Volumes, Volume One Susan Buckham Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy York University Department of Archaeology October 2000 Abstract ABSTRACT The thesis presents an analysis of Victorian memorials within a self- contained case study of York Cemetery. As one of the first major archaeological investigations of a modern cemetery, this research offers an evaluation of their potential as evidenced by both the material and documentary records. The study provides a methodological and theoretical structure to examine, classify, and interpret Victorian Gravestones as a specific type of archaeological data. A headstone typology is created and applied to the memorial sample to investigate the interaction between consumer-producer relations and memorial design. The interpretation of the memorial survey's results is informed by consumer choice theory. This framework illustrates that by uniting the spheres of memorial production and consumption it is possible to reveal how objects become part of peoples' lives. The wider social processes involved within the production and purchase of memorials in Victorian York are explored through a series of contextual frameworks. The contexts for analysis include the consideration of nineteenth century cemeteries as a specific type of burial landscape, commemoration as social practice, and the ways in which information concerning memorial design were transmitted. The thesis concludes by considering an agenda for the future study
