Family History Society Volume 6, No. 4 Denver, Colorado October, November December 2005 Robert the Bruce and His Traveling Heart By: John M. Mossman You may wonder why anyone would care about the heart of King Robert Bruce which is buried at Melrose Abbey located near the River Tweed in Scotland. It so happens that I have a Bruce in my family by the name of Isabella Bruce. She was the daughter of Patrick Bruce and Janet Jackson. Isabella was born in Sterling, Scotland about 1632 and married John Woods in Scotland. Now, I understand there is a difference of a few generations but one can hope that there is a connection. There has been much written about King Robert I, the Bruce (1274-1329). But here I would like to give a short overview of his life and accomplishments and why his heart traveled to Spain and back.

  • AN INDUSTRIAL HIVE: BIRMINGHAM’S JEWELLERY QUARTER Carl Chinn
    AN INDUSTRIAL HIVE: BIRMINGHAM’S JEWELLERY QUARTER Carl Chinn Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter is famed nationally and internationally but locally its importance can be taken for granted or even overlooked – as can that of the jewellery trade itself which has a longstanding connection with our city. That lack of attention is not a new phenomenon. By the mid-nineteenth century, jewellery making was regarded as one of the four main Birmingham trades. Along with the brass trade and the manufacture of guns and buttons it flourished above the rest but very little was written about it. That is surprising for such an important industry which remains prominent in modern Birmingham and which has such a fascinating history covering more than 200 years. Birmingham Lives Archive Birmingham Lives Jewellers at work in the Jewellery Quarter in the 1950s. iStock AN INDUSTRIAL HIVE: BIRMINGHAM’S JEWELLERY QUARTER Goldsmiths Although the origins of the modern Jewellery Quarter lie in the eighteenth century, the working of precious metal in Birmingham can be traced to the later Middle Ages. Dick Holt’s research uncovered a tantalising reference from 1308 to ‘Birmingham pieces’ in an inventory of the possessions of the Master of the Knights Templar. He believed that the objects were doubtless small, although of high value, and seem to have been precious ornaments of some kind. What is certain is the presence of goldsmiths in that period.

  • Brummagem Brass
    BRUMMAGEM BRASS By L. G. BERESFORD, B.Sc., FIM. Presidential Address delivered to the Birmingham Metallurgical Society, October 27th, 1960. To misquote Macaulay, Brummagem is, as every schoolboy knows, a corruption of Bermingham, a word of Saxon origin, whose literal meaning is “the homestead of the sons of Berm”. Spelt in the Domesday Book as BERMINGEHAM, the ‘e’ following the ‘g' signifies the latter as soft, so that the pronunciation becomes Berminjam which, spoken quickly, easily becomes Bremijam or Brummagem. But, whatever its derivation, and that given above seems the most plausible, the word itself, associated as it was with poor, worthless imitations of good quality goods, became one of reproach. Yet, in a way, it was a tribute to the ingenuity of the Birmingham workmen whose skill in producing dies for medals was equally capable of producing the dies for base coins. So much so, that in the 17th and 18th centuries, Birmingham became specially noted for this kind of manufacture, well expressed in a contemporary poem: “The wretch that stamped it got immortal fame; Twas coined by stealth, like groats at Birmingham.” This reputation for counterfeiting was not confined to coining: it was also common in the buckle trade in which large quantities were made of a white alloy, bearing some slight resemblance to silver, popularly called “soft tommy", the workmanship being on a par with the material “Brass “itself can be defined in three ways. Universal as applied to the alloys of copper and zinc, parochial in the North country sense of “where there's muck, there's brass" and national in its meaning of impudence.

  • A Case Study of Blue Coat Charity School 1780 – 1850
    DID EDUCATION PROMOTE SOCIAL MOBILITY WITHIN THE WORKING CLASS IN BIRMINGHAM? A CASE STUDY OF BLUE COAT CHARITY SCHOOL 1780 – 1850 by JULIE FOSTER A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Education College of Social Sciences University of Birmingham December 2017 1 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT Using a unique data set which linked material from a multitude of sources, this research determined whether an association existed between education and subsequent achievement, in the Blue Coat Charity School in Birmingham between 1780 and 1850. The research followed the life course of pupils at the school from the time they were admitted to the time they left and then throughout their working lives to measure the extent of intragenerational and intergenerational social mobility. Subsequently, the mobility was then correlated to the extent of their educational achievements to determine whether their education enabled them to acquire a higher status role or move into a higher social class. The study found that the school provided quality education in comparison to other schools in the locality, and evidence suggests that overall those boys who excelled academically were more likely to obtain a beneficial apprenticeship.

  • Industrialization and Expantion of Markets Led to the Rise of the Middle Class During the 19Th Century
    Victorian Fashion: A Middle Class Makeover Jamie Elizabeth Olive Cantoni HIS 490 Dr. Allocco December 14, 2008 Cantoni 2 The Victorian Era roughly denotes the period of time that Queen Victoria reigned over Britain, 1837-1901. It addition to its great length of time, the Victorian era was very complex. The era rapidly changed and developed, held many paradoxes and accomplished great expansion of wealth, power and culture. The expansion of culture can easily be understood by the fashions of the era as clothing and technology were closely entwined. The fashions of the Victorian era can be categorized into three periods: the Early Victorian 1830-1850, the Middle Victorian 1850-1870 and the Late Victorian 1870-1900.1 The early era denoted the change from regency fashions, shift dresses gathered in an empire waist below the breast in fabrics such as chiffon, that favored lithe figures for women and extreme tailoring and ornate accessories for men. To the fashions that would come to be known as Victorian fashions, corseted waists and full skirts for women and more generic fits with a diminution in accessories for men. The middle era was marked by the influence of middle class values and application of present technology. During the late era Victorians utilized the improvements from the middle era to create variations and embellishments on the existing fashions. As well as apply technologies from the middle era to different aspects of fashion. Within each period, two antagonistic themes emerge: the influence of England‟s expansion and technological innovation, and the opposition movement 1 See Appendix A Cantoni 3 to England‟s expansion and technological innovations.2 Therefore, the focus has been reduced to the middle class and its relation to the technologies of rubber, aniline dyes, the crinoline cage; the advent of ready-made clothing and the backlash movement of aestheticism.

  • The Fatal Coin: Making Money
    THE FATAL COIN: MAKING MONEY In The Fatal Coin, Dan Foster encounters a ruthless gang of highwaymen and counterfeiters operating out of Cannock Chase in Staffordshire, England. In the course of his investigation, he comes across the work of Birmingham industrialist Matthew Boulton, who manufactured copper coins. Here I take a look at some of the history behind the story… Making Money: Matthew Boulton (1728–1809) Matthew Boulton, entrepreneur, manufacturer, engineer and scientist, was born in Birmingham. His father was a manufacturer of buckles, and when he was twenty one Matthew joined him as a partner in the business, which he inherited it in 1759. In 1761 he moved from Snow Hill to Handsworth Heath, where he built his home, Soho House, along with workmen’s cottages, and a factory. The factory has gone, but Soho House is now a museum. (http://www.birminghammuseums.org.uk/soho) Matthew Boulton made his money in what was known as the “toy trade”, which included the manufacture of goods in silver and gold such as snuff boxes and inkstands, and steel goods such as buckles, cork screws and candle snuffers. At his Soho works Boulton produced buttons, silver plate and ormolu. Many of these goods were exported to France. A pair of perfume burners by Matthew Boulton (Metropolitan Museum of Art) 1 Boulton worked with James Watt on the development of the steam engine, financing the work as well as working on the design, and opened a steam engine factory. He also invested in canals, a shrewd move as they formed a ready market for his steam engines.
