Records of the Family of Sclater PREFACE Records of the Family of Sclater was originally published privately in 1966 after extensive research into the family history by Claude Edward Lutley Sclater. In what must have been an expensive exercise a small number of copies of the book were printed for the family, both in hardback and paperback format. Little could Claude have envisaged that several decades later a universal and virtually free publishing medium in the form of the Internet would come into existence and begin to replace the printed text as the primary means for genealogical publication. Were he researching our history today Claude would be an avid Internet user, accessing family records through digital archives where possible and establishing contact with cousins and others using social media. In an attempt to preserve his work for future generations and for anyone interested in Sclater family history Claude’s book has now been digitised by his eldest grandson, born just in time to receive a mention in the printed volume. Claude's introduction makes interesting reading and now itself feels very much from a different era. In the 1960s there was a stronger identification with the concept of the patrilineal line of descent and the name which went with it. Ancestry brought social status and allowed you to place yourself within society. Marrying "well" allowed you to maintain or enhance this status. We now inhabit a rapidly changing world of complex non-nuclear families, women retaining their maiden names or simply co- habiting, children adopting their mothers' surnames, and the increasing social, economic and political status of women. All this has contributed to the decline in importance of the surname as a rallying point for the family, while status in society is increasingly defined by money and fame rather than breeding. Genetically of course the family name was always irrelevant. While in the 21st Century a descendant of Philip Lutley Sclater might take some pride in the achievements of his great great grandfather, the Victorian provides only 1/16th of his genes. The other fifteen of his ancestors at this level have entirely different surnames but are of potentially equal relevance to his genetic make-up. There is however more to a family than genetics. Ancestors who pass on their names to you will inevitably have more importance in your perception than those whose names you have barely or never heard of. The concept of the family based on a single surname is perpetuated by our need to establish identity and to feel part of a tribe. Claude, in the pursuit of his own genealogy, must have felt this need more acutely than most, and hence developed an extraordinary interest in and knowledge of his ancestors. An undercurrent throughout the book is a quest to discover greatness in our origins, an understandable objective when faced with little more than names, dates and wills, particularly in the earlier generations. A long line of Sclater churchmen and landowners achieved a measure of social recognition and economic success. Claude's work includes details of a few colourful and talented individuals such as Eliza Sclater, who developed a strong friendship with the Anglo-Irish novelist Laurence Sterne. It is with Philip Lutley Sclater however that the family reached its apogee of worldly achievement. Philip was undoubtedly our most successful ancestor by most measures, building up a vast number of publications throughout his life, worldwide recognition for his knowledge of zoology and ornithology, a friend to Darwin and other prominent scientists, and a fellow of the Royal Society and many foreign scientific societies, with more than forty species named after him. Meanwhile his brother, George, was a Westminster politician for thirty years and became the first Lord Basing. Philip’s son, William Lutley Sclater, followed in his father's zoological footsteps but was not, at least in Claude's eyes, quite of Philip's calibre. Claude's disappointment at the lesser success of his father's generation and still less his own is interesting; while his own life was not undistinguished he perhaps felt that he himself had failed to live up to the standards of excellence set by his grandfather. There was presumably still even in Claude’s day a greater importance attached to the ancestral home, giving further relevance to the concept of patrilineal descent and the family name. His regret at the losses of Hoddington and Tangier Park is clear; the importance he gives to these properties is evident 1 Records of the Family of Sclater in the subtitle of the book. Claude’s own descendants (now numbering more than thirty) are currently dispersed across England, Scotland, Australia and Canada. Little is known about some of our ancestors other than a few dates and details of the property they passed to the next generation. Ultimately of course it is only the genes that are passed to our distant descendants. There are currently no particularly famous or distinguished people of the name "Sclater". This does not necessarily matter; success is perhaps better measured by living an interesting life, contributing in some positive way to society or raising children to the point where they are capable of producing the next generation. Nevertheless, the achievements of our ancestors can provide inspiration for us and our children. Claude's urging of us to "regain the impetus of [our] forebears" is a clear challenge to his own descendants. While the earlier chapters necessarily contain somewhat bare facts and figures, the works and travels of more recent generations are of great interest and require further research. We are indebted to Claude for his diligent efforts in visiting various churches, offices and libraries to establish our origins and set them out in this volume. His work is presented in the current edition virtually intact with the additions of this preface, a few footnotes, updated images and some new pedigree charts to obtain a quick overview at the start of each chapter. A further edition is planned with updates on Claude’s descendants. Technical note This e-book was created using

  • John Wesley and the Religious Societies
    JOHN WESLEY AND THE RELIGIOUS SOCIETIES JOHN WESLEY AND THE RELIGIOUS SOCIETIES BY JOHN S. SIMON, D.D. AUTHOR OF * A SUMMARY OF METHODIST LAW AND DISCIPLINE,' * THE REVIVAL OF RELIGION IN ENGLAND IN THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY,' ETC. LONDON THE EPWORTH PRESS J. ALFRED SHARP First edition, 1921 PREFACE Canon Overton, in his Life in the English Church, 1660- ' 1714, says that there is no doubt that John Wesley intended his Societies to be an exact repetition of what was done by Beveridge, Horneck, and Smythies sixty-two years before.' ' He continues : How it was that the Methodist Societies took a different course is a very interesting, and, to a church- man, a very sad question.' In this book I have given descrip- tions of the first Rehgious Societies, and have shown their development under the influence of Dr. Woodward and John Wesley. From those descriptions my readers wiU be able to judge the accuracy of Canon Overton's statement concern- ing John Wesley's intentions. There can be no doubt, how- ' ' ever, that the relationship between the Religious Societies ' ' and the United Societies of the People called Methodists was so close that the latter cannot be understood without an intimate knowledge of the former. In writing this book, I have kept the Methodist Church in view. My eyes have been fixed on John Wesley and the England in which his greatest work was done. We can never understand the revival of religion which glorified the eighteenth century until we see Wesley as he wls, and get rid of the false impressions created by writers who have had an imperfect acquaintance with him and his evangelistic work.

  • Introduction to Zoogeography Pdf
    Introduction to zoogeography pdf Continue zoogeography: The study of the geographical distribution of animals is zoogeography. Vertebrates have characteristic patterns of distribution on land masses. The zoogeography is useful in understanding the evolutionU the increase in the number of animals by reproduction causes them to spread in all directions. The crackdown continues until the barrier is reached. The reason for this intermittent distribution of related groups is the development of barriers or the disappearance of forms in the intermediate area. The idea of zoogeography was originally introduced by P.L Sciater. He studied the geographical distribution of birds in his work Avium Geographicae Distribution Scheme. It divided the continents into six geographical regions. Huxley, grouped into four regions that cover Africa, Eurasia and North America, is called Arktogea. It included South America and Australia under Notogaea. Bluntford divided the land masses into three major divisions of 1,Arctogea; Eurasia; North America and Africa. 2) South American region3) Australian region.

  • Field Systems and Demesne Farming on the Wiltshire Estates of Saint Swithun's Priory, Winchester, I248-134O* by BAN KY HAR KISON
    Field Systems and Demesne Farming on the Wiltshire Estates of Saint Swithun's Priory, Winchester, I248-134o* By BAN_KY HAR_KISON Abstract Manorial compoti are used to describe the demesne agriculture of Winchester Cathedral Priory on its chalkland manors in Wihshire between I248 and I34o. The demesnes are found to have been operated largely within the two-field systems of the viUs even where, at first sight, the use of independent furlongs seems to be suggested. The disadvantages of this system were partly offset by the priory's near monopoly of pasture, hay and timber resources, as well as by the absence of sub-manors and freeholds. Nevertheless, productivity is found to be low - although no lower than on other demesnes in the same district - but some evidence of intensification through the use of legumes and relatively high stocking ratios has been found for certain cereals on a few manors where market sale rather than monastic supply was the main object of arable farming. EDIEWL farming practices in local level has indeed been undertaken Wiltshire are better known than with impressive results for the later medie- M those of other Wessex counties val and early modem periods but compari- thanks largely to a long tradition of local sons with the earlier period, before the journal and record publications, and to the Black Death, tend to be based either upon thoroughly researched parish surveys in the much older work or upon the parish sur- on-going Victoria County History.

  • Diary Or Mariana Fox Tuckett's Journal
    Mariana Fox Tuckett (1) circa 1860. A VICTORIAN “TEENAGER’S” DIARY OR MARIANA FOX TUCKETT’S JOURNAL DEC. 1857 - MARCH 59 Transcribed for the Frenchay Tuckett Society by Gerald Franklin Copyright © June 2011 Introduction. As the Executor of her Uncle Hubert Fox’s estate, Sarah Smith nee Fox, kindly donated to the Society six volumes of a journal kept by her Great Grandmother Mariana Fox Tuckett during her teenage years 1857/59. As these volumes contain a very interesting and detailed account during that period of the Tucketts, other Quaker families, as well as friends, acquaintances and some important persons, it was felt that they should be transcribed and made available to be read by members of the Society and visitors to the Frenchay Village Museum. In writing her journal Mariana mentions a great number of relations, friends, neighbours and other people. Unfortunately, as was the practice of Quakers of the period, she generally uses initials or first names for relations and friends and, where she mentions other persons she just gives names and no details. In view of this, and to provide the reader with more information, Dramatis Personae have been added at the end of this Introduction giving whatever information that could be ascertained. This List has been divided into a number of separate sections detailing Family, Relations, Friends and other Persons, these are listed in numerical order with the appropriate number appended to the various initials/names the first few times they appear in each volume of the journals. However due to the above sections, these will not be in numerical order but will appear somewhat randomly.
