| 6501 | Walter Augustus Shirley Walter Augustus Shirley (30 May 1797 – 21 April 1847) was an English bishop who was the Bishop of Sodor and Man. Life He was born on 30 May 1797 in Westport, Ireland, where his father held a curacy, the only son of Walter Shirley, by his wife Alicia, daughter of Sir Edward Newenham. His grandfather was Walter Shirley. At the age of nine, Shirley was placed under the care of the Rev. Legh Richmond but was soon moved to a school at Linton in Essex. He became a scholar of Winchester College in 1809, and six years later was elected to a scholarship at New College, Oxford, where he became a Fellow in 1818. After his ordination on 7 August 1820, he took charge of the parish of Woodford, Northamptonshire, one of the livings held by his father. In 1821 he became curate of Parwich in Derbyshire. In 1822 he was appointed assistant lecturer of Ashbourne and curate of Atlow and was awarded the prize for the English essay at Oxford, the subject being the Study of Moral Evidence. He acted as chaplain at Rome in the winter of 1826–7, and during his residence there he became intimately acquainted with Christian Karl Josias von Bunsen and Thomas Erskine, as well as with Charles Lock Eastlake and David Wilkie. In the autumn of 1827 he was married at Paris to Maria, daughter of William Waddington, and at the same time, his father resigned the living of St Michael's Church, Shirley in his favour. He took possession of his new home in January 1828. After nine years' residence at Shirley, he accepted the living of Whiston, near Rotherham, which he held jointly with Shirley. He gave up the former cure two years later when he was appointed to the incumbency of Brailsford, a parish adjoining that of Shirley. In 1829 he alienated some of his friends by his outspoken advocacy of Catholic emancipation; in later years he estranged others by refusing to support measures against the Tractarians. His own upbringing and views were evangelical. He was made Archdeacon of Derby by the bishop of Lichfield on 21 December 1840. In November 1846 he was appointed Bishop of Sodor and Man by Lord John Russell; but because of a serious illness, he was not consecrated until 10 January 1847. He had been elected Bampton lecturer for that year but lived only long enough to deliver two of the lectures of his course. He died at Bishop's Court, Isle of Man, on 21 April 1847. His only son was Walter Waddington Shirley. Among his pupils were Stafford Henry Northcote and his nephew, William Henry Waddington, the French minister. Works In addition to his Oxford prize essay, Shirley published A Charge to the Clergy of the Archdeaconry of Derby, 1846. The two Bampton lectures that he had delivered, together with two others which he had completed before death overtook him, were published in 1847 under the title of The Supremacy of the Holy Scriptures. | SHIRLEY, Walter Augustus Bishop of Sodor and Man (I25518)

| 6511 | Wayland Turner, the sixteen year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Turner, passed away Saturday night about midnight at the St. Charles hospital in Aurora, following an accident which necessitated the amputation of his right leg. The unfortunate lad left his uncles home in Taylorville several weeks ago on a trip through the Western States in search of employment. The last letter was written at Pikes Peak, Colo. The accident happened Friday evening while Wayland and a companion were attempting to board a freight train at a junction six miles east of Aurora. He was rushed to a Hospital and his relatives summoned to his bedside. He regained consciousness and was able to converse with them for a time. The shock and loss of blood proved too much for him and he passed away a few hours after the amputation. | TURNER, Wayland Minor (I41770)

| 6512 | We have to record the death of one of Tiverton's most faithful friends and generous benefactors : Miss Heathcote of Bolham, the aunt of Sir John H Heathcote-Amory, Bart, the senior member of the borough. The deceased lady been in failing health for some years past - in fact, ever since the death of her sister Mrs Brewin, in May, 1877. She had practically given up her establishment at Bolham, in this parish, and had taken up her residence at Hackney, London, where she died yesterday morning. It having been known that Miss Heathcote had for some time been in a precarious state of health, the sad event was not altogether unexpected, but nonetheless it was the cause of very widespread and genuine regret. The deceased lady was the eldest daughter of the late Mr John Heathcote, the celebrated patentee of the lace machine, and for many years M.P.for the borough. In the education of the young she took a keen interest, subscribing liberally to the Sunday Schools of the town and church | HEATHCOAT, Eloisa (I38395)

| 6521 | William Richardson Linton Linton's 1903 Flora of Derbyshire showing Rubus durescens on its cover in gold leaf Rev. William Richardson Linton (2 April 1850 in Diddington, Huntingdonshire – 7 April 1908 in Ashbourne, Derbyshire), Corpus Christi College, M.A., was an English botanist and vicar of the parish of Shirley, Derbyshire. He was regarded as one of the leading batologists of his day. Life Linton was born in Diddington in Huntingdonshire in 1850. He married Alice Shirley (daughter of Rev. Walter Waddington Shirley and Philippa Frances Emilia Knight Shirley) on 26 January 1887, with whom he had one daughter, Viola Marion Linton. He became the vicar of St. Michael's church in Shirley. St Michael's, Shirley Linton collected botanical specimens and records, often working with his elder brother who was also a cleric. (Rev. Edward Francis Linton was based mainly in Edmondsham in Dorset). In 1890 W.R.Linton published a short article in the Journal of Botany describing a new species of hawkweed (Hieracium holophyllum) found in Derbyshire. In 1892 he and his brother published a short eight page guide called Some Scottish Willows which they followed two years later with Set of British Willows. Linton wrote an extensive book about the flora of Derbyshire, published in 1903. The front cover of his Flora contained a large illustration in gold leaf of Rubus durescens, a species of bramble unique to Derbyshire which he had earlier discovered. Linton is credited with the first description of Rubus durescens. His Flora contained 1,030 species of flowering plants and ferns. He considered around 910 (88%) of these native, 70 (7%) aliens and 50 (5%) casuals. He also included mosses and liverworts. He included two maps of the county and two illustrations of plants he considered special in the area. In addition to the one shown on the cover, he also included a line drawing of Epipactis atroviridis, which he considered a species new to science that grew locally. The bramble is still recognised as a local species, but the orchid is no longer accepted as valid, and is probably just a form of the broad-leaved helleborine (Epipactis helleborine). In 1905 Linton published An account of the British Hieracia. He died in 1908 in Ashbourne in Derbyshire. He and his wife, who died in 1911, are buried in the churchyard of St Michael's church in Shirley. In 1969 Linton's Flora was brought up to date by a committee of local Derbyshire botanists, led by Professor A.R.Clapham as editor, and published by Derby Museum and Art Gallery. That work was itself further built upon and completely revised in 2015 by the publication of the fourth work to bear the name The Flora of Derbyshire, but which extensively references data collated by W.R.Linton, and contains a full biography of his botanical life and achievements. | LINTON, Rev.

| 6522 | William served in the British Army for over 19 years, in the 16th Regiment of Foot (The Bedfordshire Regiment). He served in Canada, West Indies & Ceylon, from 3 Mar 1807 - 10 Aug 1826. He rose to the rank of Colour Sergeant. He served overseas through most of the years away from his family and only in his final deployment in Colombo, Ceylon, was his wife allowed to join him. (accounts for the gap in the kids births). His second son Samuel was born there. Nine years of his service was in the tropics, first in the West Indies then Ceylon. The hot, humid environment of the tropics was a particular hardship on him, and he was subjected to numerous diseases such as malaria, yellow fever and dysentery. He even noted at the time of his discharge that he was 'worn out from a long service in hot climates'. His descendant Donald William Clements has all his paperwork | CLEMENTS, CSgt. William (I38222)
