  • Borton and Mason Families
    HJSTORY OF THE BORTON AND MASON FAMILIES IN EUROPE AND AMERICA. Compiled by FREEMAN C. MASON, M. D. Hillsdale, Mich. Printed b11 H. E. AG'-EW, Dowagiac, Mich. Copyrighted, 1908 by F. C. Mason. "H ii lsdown." INTRODUCTION. The work of cumpiling this book should have been done by other hands in days long past, and we have taken it up simply as a duty and labor of love, and not with hopes of any pecuniary gain. In the main, \vritten records have been relied upon; written statements from in­ .iividuals have, in some instances, been inserted, and where tradition is given, it is so stated. This work is compiled and published especially for the home circle of the Borton and Mason families, and those who have descended there­ from; and we hope and desire that it may be received in the same spirit in which it has been written. Some families will not appear owing to a lack of proper data concerning them; but knowing their ancestors for two or three generations, will be able to trace their genealogy and family history back to the progenitors. Much authentic history has been in­ serted, believing that it will not only add interest to the book, but will help to preserve it for those who may come after us. There will doubtless be mistakes in genealogical data, compilation and construction of this volume; but when we think of the wo/ .'..:, stu­ pendous in its nature, which has been done during moments of _im_e as. they could be snatched from a busy professional life, and also think of the vast correspondence and research required, we believe that all criti­ cisms 1,·ill be considerate and charitable.

  • Guide to the Records of Mason Science College
    Guide to the records of Mason Science College Last updated July 2016 Cadbury Research Library: Special Collections Guide to the records of Mason Science College Finding Number: UB/MC The University of Birmingham archives include records of the university’s predecessor institution, Mason Science College. These records mostly date from 1880-1900 when the college was open to students, but there is also material dating from the 1870s which provides information about the planned structure and management of the college and the design of the college building. This guide contains an overview of the history and development of Mason College, gives details of the types of records the archive contains, and suggests some topics for research (Last updated July 2016). Front of Mason College building UB/MC/N/5/1 Mason College was founded by Sir Josiah Mason, a wealthy businessman who was born in Kidderminster in 1795 but worked in Birmingham from the 1820s. He made his fortune producing steel pen nibs and also invested in electroplating. He used some of his wealth to establish almshouses and an orphanage for girls in Erdington in 1858, which was expanded to include boys in 1868. He was given a knighthood in 1872 in recognition of his philanthropy. Mason wanted to found a college to provide an institution dedicated to science teaching, mainly for people living in Birmingham and the surrounding area who worked in manufacturing and other local industries. Soon after the college opened, however, the trustees had to make alterations to the foundation deed to allow a broader curriculum to be taught which included English language and literature, classics, and modern languages as well as additional science subjects.

  • What Is Industry?
    Part 1A What is industry? • The production of goods, especially those made in factories. • The part of industry that involves the production of steel, coal, or large goods such as aircraft is called heavy industry. • The part of industry that involves the production of small goods, for example electronic equipment, is called light industry Where is the Black Country Where is Birmingham Where is the Black Country Where is Birmingham Where did the black country get it’s name from? • It's said that the Black Country gained its name in the mid-nineteenth century from the smoke from the many thousands of ironworking foundries and forges. • The region was described as 'Black by day and red by night' by an American Elihu Burritt in 1862. • Black from the thick smoke, Red from the fires keeping the factories working. • This period of time from around 1750 to 1870 was called ‘The Industrial Revolution’. The Black country became a very important area in this period. • The population went from being agricultural to industrial. This meant people moved off of the farms and out of the country. There were huge numbers of people that moved into cities. Many people were forced to move to the cities to look for work. What industries have historically been in Birmingham and the Black Country? • We are going to look at a variety of artefacts (objects/images) to give us clues about the types of industries that have been in Birmingham and the Black Country. • When we look at each artefact you will be given a couple of minutes to discuss it with your partner predicting what industry it might represent.

    From Pens to Particle Physics The story of a Birmingham family business ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS CONTENTS This is the story of an organisation with a history that spans three centuries. As a A TALE OF TWO FAMILIES 1 - 2 sixth-generation business founded by two families, it naturally focuses as much on people as on the Company’s products and, without the help and support of colleagues, friends and family, this brief history would certainly have been much less interesting, with fewer illustrations and many THE EARLY YEARS 3 - 7 more errors and omissions. First I must thank all those Brandauer employees, past and present, who have contributed their memories and photographs or simply done their best to answer my questions.
