| 773 | The family circle had been lessened so early as in 1828 by the death of the third and youngest girl. Of her might be used Charlotte Brontë's poignant words about Emily: "Never in all her life had she lingered over any task that lay before her, and she did not linger now. She sank rapidly. She made haste to leave us." Apparently in perfect health one noon, Mary Newman by the next noon was gone. | Newman, Mary Sophia (I4168)

| 774 | The family of Rovert and Mary Jane Siddon arrived in Olds in 1903 from Kincardine, Ontario. Their young son Thomas worked in the area until he started farming at Little Red Deer, Alberta. He married Mae Grant and in 1921 he began barbering. Following the death of his young wife, he moved to Munson, Drumheller and Didsbury with his two young children, Ronald and Irene. In 1925 he moved to Carstairs and took up residence with his new wife Muriel. They lived in the Lorimer House at 663 - 11th Avenue, Lacknerville, where their daughter Evelyn was born in 1929. He operated the pool room and barber shop until his death in 1959. Ronald started school in the old brick school. Irene also started two years later in that school and then classes were moved to the Fire Hall for more space. In 1936 Evelyn started school in the New Cottage School. The family later moved to the east side of the track near Crystal's residence. In the early days the barber shop was lighted by gam lamps; then a Delco plant was installed. In 1929 Calgary Power came to Carstairs, much to the pleasure of everyone. The town foreman was Mr. Paske who managed city works. In the days of gas lighting he loaded his flat-bed Model T with gas lanterns and hung one on each street corner. He also supervised the Fire Hall which contained the jail, school, and "fire pumper". Ronald was a bell-ringer for Sharp Shows of Didsbury. The shows where held on Thursdays iun the old community hall on the north end of main street. The show was powered by a Delco plant in the back of a Buick car. Bell ringers were young boys who went about town calling out about the coming show that evening, all the time ringing a hand-bell. For this they earned a free pass to the show. The annual Stampede on the first day of July was always a "highlight", especially the "water fights". They were held by the fire department on the lot between main street and the railroad by the water tank. The family were United Church members and Tom belonged to the Masons. In 1938 Ronald took up barbering and moved to Drumheller in 1939. He married Trudie in 1941 and they raised a family of five children: Tom, Darryl, Donna, Elaine and Ronald Jr. After barbering over 50 years he is retired, enjoying his children and their families. Evelyn lives in B.C. and has two daughters and grandchildren to enjoy also. On of the many highlights of our lives was attending the 75th Anniversary of Carstairs in 1978. (From Beyond our prairie Trails, V.2 Family histories, pg 739-741) Tom, owned the barber shop and pool hall in Carstairs for many years. His first wife was May Grant, sister of Neil Grant. He is survived by Muriel, his second wife. (From Zella Remembers: from oil lamps to oil wells. pg 179.) | Siddon, Thomas Samuel (I5651)

| 777 | The Name "Slade" form 1327 to 1749 As far back as 1290 there was a "Slade Hall" in the Parish of Cornwood, Devonshire. The "Crest" of "Ostrich feathers" and the arms of "Three Horses Heads" is believed to have been granted to "Slade of Slade Hall" in the reign of Edward 1, the "Motto" the being "Facta non Verba." "Maunsel, now the seat of John Slade, Esq; newly built, was the hereditary possession of a family of the same name for twenty generations. In the time of Henry II, William of Erleigh granted it to Philip Arbalistarius, in free marriage with his daughter, to be held by the payment of two young pigs every Whitsuntide at his court of Durston; which granted Ancilia, widow of the same William of Erleigh, confirmed to Philip de Maunsel, son of the above mentioned Philip, who married a daughter of Sir Hugh de Auberville, and was the first of this family that assumed the name of Maunsel, or Mansel. In this family the manor and ancient mansions continued till the time of Charles I, when it was purchased of their heirs by the family of Bacon, who resided here in the commencement of the present century (early 18th century). Robert de Mansel bore on his seal a hand clenched, but William, son of the said Robert, took the present arms, viz. Sable, three jambs argent." Excerpt from North Petherton - taken from Collinson's History of Somerset. SLADE, ERNEST AUGUSTUS (1805-1878), Superintendent of Convict Barracks and Police Magistrate, was born on 30 June 1805, the son of General Sir John Slade (1762-1859), Baronet, and his first wife Anna Eliza, née Dawson. His father distinguished himself during the peninsular war at the battles of Busaco and Fuentes de Onoro and received the thanks of parliament and a gold medal for his services. Slade was an unruly and extravagant youth and his father hastened to get him into the army so that he would be under discipline and preferably out of England. A commission was bought for him for £450 and he joined the 54th Regiment as an ensign on 1 August 1822 and was promoted lieutenant in May 1825; in 1828 he transferred to the 40th Regiment and saw service in the Australian Colonies and India. He retired from the army in 1831 and returned to New South Wales in 1832 with a letter of introduction from the Colonial Office to Governor Bourke expressing the wish that he be placed in any office, which happened to be vacant when he arrived. In February 1833 Bourke appointed Slade Superintendent of the Convict Barracks at Hyde Park with a residence within the barracks and a salary of £150; the following October he was appointed also to the part- time office of third Police Magistrate for Sydney for which he received an additional £100 a year. He held these appointments until 1 November 1834 when he became involved in court proceedings, which received wide publicity. Because of the scandal to which these proceedings gave rise, Bourke told him that he could no longer hold his appointments; he was allowed to resign. Slade complained to the Colonial Office that he had been summarily and unjustly dismissed from his appointments; he admitted the irregularity of his own domestic establishment, but alleged in extenuation that many of the most respectable and useful justices of the peace of the colony were living in a state of concubinage with female servants. The convicts hated Slade. Even Sir Richard Bourke, Governor of New South Wales stated in a dispatch to lord Glenelg; Mr. Slade’s service to the Government in the punishment of Convicts have exposed him to the hatred of that class of persons in such a manner to interfere with the security of his life or property… The reason behind this dispatch to lord Glenelg was not to praise Slade… it was to make sure he didn’t come back to Australia. It seems that everyone wanted to get rid of Slade, even his own father. . It looks like he tried to get back at Bourke as on his return to England he alleged that Bourke had used the disclosures on his moral conduct merely as a pretext to deprive him of office, and that the real reason was that his severe treatment of convicts ran counter to the governor's own policy of leniency. He was re-examined by Sir George Grey on another part of his evidence in which he made allegations damaging to the character of the governor's son, Richard Bourke; the allegations were shown to be false and were expunged from the records. Under these circumstances it would of made life for Mary Ann Curran very difficult, it is not know if he made provisions for Mary Ann and her son, on his dismissal from the country. Most likely because of the character of the man he did not, therefore it would have been left to her father John Bury Curran to support his grandson. Ernest Augustus Slade returned to England and in July 1836 applied to the Colonial Office for another appointment; he was told that it was unlikely that one could be offered to him in the foreseeable future. As a witness before the select committee on transportation in 1837 he gave a lurid picture of the moral depravity of the convict population in New South Wales; he also claimed that he had devised the cat then in general use in the colony and boasted that, if punishment were administered with it under his own supervision, it never failed to break the skin in four lashes. In his statement to select committee he was asked the following: How long did you keep the position of police magistrate? Will you state to the committee about your domestic situation, Slade stated the following: I was living with a free girl, the daughter of a respectable man, holding office under the Government, and the girl was of irreproachable character before I became acquainted with her, her father and mother being both free as well as the daughter. By this girl I had a child (this girl was only the age of thirteen years!!!) and this child being dangerously ill, and the difficulty of procuring servants in Sydney being so great, she recommended to me to apply for a free girl out of the emigrant ship, David Scott. I wrote to Mr.Nicholson, a Magistrate of the territory, and the master attendant at Sydney, requesting him to send to Mr. Marshall, the superintendent of that vessel, to know if he could furnish me with a servant girl that girls name was Lavinia Winter... Slade was twice married and had one daughter. He died at Boulogne, France, on 5 March 1878. He is the Ernest Augustus Slade Superintendent of Convict Barracks and Police Magistrate who had the reputation of living with in a state of concubinage with his female convict servants.. Sir Benjamin Slade the current Baronet of Ernest Augustus Slade’s ancestral home “Maunsel House” writes the following after I contacted him: His Grandson Herbert Grant Watson became ambassador to Finland and his sister married into the Dunlop family of Scotland. Indeed Ernest Slade was in Australia and got into a lot of trouble, there are still descendants over there! I do have photos and a portrait of him and there are good records here. He died in France because he was broke and escaping his debts. | Slade, Ernest Augustus (I9330)

| 781 | The Vere family was founded in England by Aubrey 'Albericus' de Vere. The earliest information in England concerning Vere history can be found in the cartulary of Abingdon, which relates the grant of Kensington church to the abbey by Alberic de Vere senior. Alberic de Vere came to England in 1066 with the Norman invasion, fighting alongside his brother-in-law, William the Conqueror. As reward for his bravery and loyalty, Alberic was given vast estates by William the Conqueror. These estates were once the property of Ulwine, a great Saxon thane, and consisted of manors in the counties of Essex, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Huntingdonshire and Middlesex. The de Veres were also Lords of Cheniston (now Kensington, London) and nearby Earl's Court is where they had their court-house. To this day there is a rather upscale neighborhood of Kensington called de Vere Gardens. For his part in the conquest De Vere was also given lordship over Lavenham, which was the center of the wool trade in England. Albericus de Ver married Beatrice, half sister of King William, and they had five sons. He founded Earl's Colne Priory in 1105, and after the death of Beatrice he became religious and took vows as a monk. Brother Alberic died in 1088; he was buried in the church of Earls Colne Priory, which he founded. He is also said to be responsible for laying out four new vineyards in England, one being at Hedingham, where wild red grapes have been found several times during the last century. Alberic was known as Count Aubrey, and the "Sanglier." His wife, Beatrix of Ghisnes, Countess of Ghisnes in her own right, was daughter of Henry, Count of Ghisnes, and his wife Sibylla Alberic. He and his wife had five sons as follows: 1. Alberic de Vere, 2. Geoffrey de Vere, 3. Roger de Vere, 4. Robert de Vere, and 5. William de Vere. He was succeeded by his eldest son, Alberic. | De Vere, Alberic (I1475)

| 788 | This is the story that has been handed down thru the family: Mary Ann Browning was born on Rosedale Estate, near London, England. Her mother was the daughter of Sir. Blackmore, a titled Englishman. Her father, ? Browning, was the family coachman. It has been said that Mary Ann was a childhood playmate of the future Queen Victoria. Her brother carried on the maternal line as Sir Roland Blackmore, who died on his second crossing to Canada. Mary Ann married John Colwell in Nova Scotia, and died in the area of Goderich, Ontario giving birth to her 12th child. Bonnie ------------------------------- I have an ancestor named Mary Ann Browning. She married a John Colwell and had a daughter Phoebe Ann born in Nova Scotia in 1832. We do not know Mary Ann's parents, but family lore has come down that her mother's maiden name was Blackmore, and her mother's brother supposedly was Sir Roland Blackmore. Sir Blackmore drowned while coming to the US to visit his niece Mary Ann. Mary Ann, we are told, was a lady, that she knew nothing about work. We do not have a date of birth, but around 1805 is a pretty good guess. That she was a childhood playmate of the lady who would become Queen Victoria. That she was born in a palace named Rosedale or something similar. And it was supposed to be in London, England. gypsy (posted 5 jun 2002) | Browning, Mary Ann (I6115)

| 795 | Toils Tears & Triumph reports Hugh on Con 12 Lot 24 in Kincardine Township, Ontario, Canada in 1854, 1879 receiving Crown Deed. Hugh came to the homestead (Con 12 Lot 24 Kincardine Township) first and erected a log cabin, leaving no opennings for doors or windows to prevent it from being occupied by wild animals. Returning to Brock Township, on his next trip he brought his wife Margaret and baby Allan and Margaret's sister Mary and her husband, Donald McDonald, who moved to Bruce Township. Windows and a door were cut in the cabin and a homespun blanket hung to serve as a door. Some years later Hugh built and operated a blacksmith shop behind the house. When the farm was cleared an excellent bush was left at the back. This was destroyed when slash on Lot 23 was being burned and the fire got out of control. In 1898, the property Lot 24, went to Hugh's wife Margaret Ann and their son Neil. A sister Mary Flora lived with Neilly and kept house fofr him until her death.
