  • History of the Hertfordshire Natural History Society
    History of the Hertfordshire Natural History Society The Society was established in January 1875 as the Watford Natural History Society and Hertfordshire Field Club by a group of local naturalists, headed by John Hopkinson (pictured) who later became secretary and president. The objectives were: ‘the investigation of the Meteorology, Geology, Botany and Zoology of the neighbourhood of Watford and the County of Hertford, and the dissemination amongst its members of information on Natural History and Microscopical Science’. The Society expanded rapidly and in 1879 extended its remit to the whole county and took the name the Hertfordshire Natural History Society and Field Club. In the early days the membership was drawn from a wealthy and scientifically minded elite group. In 1880 this included eleven titled gentlemen including the Marquis of Salisbury, five Fellows of the Royal Society, numerous fellows of other learned societies and twelve clergy, Charles Darwin was elected an Honorary Member in 1877. They had the time, inclination and resources to explore the county using the latest scientific knowledge and techniques. Despite the difficulty of travel limited to railways, horses and bicycles, they met weekly during the summer months for field trips throughout the county. These often ended with tea taken in the garden of an eminent local member. In the early years, the Society inherited the work of a number of Victorian naturalists, especially botanists and geologists. The Revd. R. H. Webb, who had co-authored the first Hertfordshire "Flora" in 1849 with W. H. Coleman, survived just long enough to be a founder member of the Society.

Thomas was removed from Hitchin to Norton 17 1 1776 with wife Mary, and sons JAMES (2) and Shadrack (6 mo)The question should be asked: Why did Thomas go to Hitchin - where was his wife living, and were any of his relations there at the time? Is there any connection to Robert Currell (x1762 Graveley) who was my ancestor? 16 Currell William I think that William is the son of Wm and Frances who were living at Willian.
