She moved to London and took part in several deputations. Florence was arrested and imprisoned at Holloway Gaol in June 1908 and arrested at Buckingham Palace then released after a night in the cells in May 1914. Florence planted a tree at Annie's Arboretum in Bath in April 1909. Injured at the Black Friday protests in November 1910, she never fully recovered her health. However, she became a prominent member of the Church League for Women’s Suffrage (CLWS) and chaired the organisation between 1912 and 1913. Florence was strongly in favour of the ordination of women and supported the campaign in 1913 by Ursula Roberts to gain admission to the priesthood for women. She gave public speaking lessons with Gertrude Eaton on behalf of the Conservative and Unionist Women's Franchise Association (CUWFA). Florence campaigned far and wide, speaking at meetings and demonstrations, travelling as far as the Isle of Skye and Dublin. She participated in protests by the Women's Tax Resistance League and was a supporter of the East London Federation of Suffragettes led by Sylvia Pankhurst. Florence eventually moved to Brighton to receive further treatment from Dr Louisa Martindale for her breast cancer but died there on Christmas Eve 1914. Her body was taken back to Hereford, and she was buried with the suffragette colours on her coffin. Florence is absent from the 1911 Census and was likely an evader; her housekeeper Annie Hubbard and her husband John completed the form. Florence's sister Ethel was a suffragist and appears on the 1911 census as an author living in Bournemouth. Sources: C.

Florence married actor Robert de Fonblanque and settled at Duncton in 1893. She came to public and press attention when she led a Women’s March from Edinburgh, starting on 19 October 1912, and reaching London on 16 November, covering a distance of 466 miles. Charlotte Despard of the WFL accompanied the marchers the first day and MLWS members who walked with them included East Preston resident Israel Zangwill, husband of Edith Zangwill of the WSPU. Florence’s horse, Butterfly, pulled a light van. The march culminated in a rally in Trafalgar Square, presided over by Maud Arncliffe Sennett. Supporters were addressed by Charlotte Despard, Ruth Cavendish Bentinck, a defector from the WSPU to the NUWSS, and Florence herself. A petition, with signatures gathered along the way and in London, was delivered by Florence to 10 Downing Street. Although this made little impression on PM Asquith, the march attracted considerable publicity for the cause. The ‘Brown Women’, in their uniform of ‘business-like brown tweed skirts and golf coats’ with green cockades, had their daily progress recorded by regional papers in relay along the route as well as by their own enthusiastic reports sent in to The Vote, Votes for Women, Suffragette and Common Cause. In February 1913, Florence announced the formation of the Marchers Qui Vive Corps. This would run a shop at 60 (now 62) West Street, Horsham, selling suffrage literature and organising marches to Brighton and meetings in villages. At their first public meeting, in Horsham Town Hall in March, speakers Ruth Cavendish Bentinck and Revd Claude Hinscliff, of the Church League for Women’s Suffrage, were introduced by Florence who explained that the Marchers Qui Vive were making Horsham their headquarters for six months and that there would be a march every Saturday. In mid-May Florence and Marchers Qui Vive secretary, Annie Roff of Easebourne, Midhurst, marched with five others to Brighton, stopping overnight in Henfield, and coming back by Shoreham and Steyning. Nine meetings were held in four days, the last being on the marchers’ return to Horsham’s Carfax where they were met by a jeering crowd. The clamour of rattles and handbells was such that the meeting had to be abandoned and a police escort was required. Undaunted, in August 1913 Florence organised a march to Cowdray Park, Midhurst, home of suffragist Annie, Viscountess Country. At an overnight stop at Pulborough, a meeting was held at the Corn Exchange. At the next day’s Cowdray Park open-air meeting, near the polo ground, the star speaker was Mrs Cecil Chapman, President of the New Constitutional Society for Women’s Suffrage, formed following the January 1910 General Election. This was Florence’s last march. She placed a notice in The Vote in Oct 1913 saying that the Marchers qui Vive were giving up their depot in Horsham and would be holding indoor meetings in Sussex during the winter.

Suffrage Society The suffrage society this person was affiliated with at the time of the 1911 UK Census WSPU Census This person's response to the 1911 UK Census Evades Biographical Text Florence (1862-1945) attended Somerville College, Oxford, via a grant, but her time there was cut short by her father's death. She took up several subsequent teaching posts over the next twenty years, spending six years teaching at Great Yarmouth High School. She became a member of the WSPU and one of its organizers. This meant that Florence led a nomadic lifestyle, living and organizing in Brighton, Bristol, the Midlands and Edinburgh between 1907 and 1909. However, by 1910 and until the end of 1912, Florence was based at 'Trevarra' and was the WSPU organizer for Canterbury and South Kent. It is likely that Florence took part in the organised suffrage boycott of the census in 1911, and that she was one of the unknown women listed at Trevarra and 'evading' courtesy of Trevarra's house keeper, Catherine Smart. Also in 1911, Florence was key in organizing local women's participation in the huge Women's Coronation Procession through London organised by suffrage campaigners across societies and gave a speech arguing for Votes for Women which was well received in the local press - not always the case. One argument put forward against female suffrage was that 'women had not sufficient political knowledge to warrant the vote'. Florence riposted in her speech that - 'There is no education for using the vote like having it ... we want to mind our own business and set the men free to mind theirs' to which their was much laughter (see image). Florence was arrested in 1913 in London when leading WSPU figure Annie Kenney was also arrested for incitement to riot. Florence was sentenced to 21 days in prison or a £5 fine for obstruction. Her fine was paid. Interestingly, Florence was also the author of 'The Women's Marseillaise' in 1909 a popular marching song published by the WSPU.

Suffrage Society The suffrage society this person was affiliated with at the time of the 1911 UK Census WFL Census This person's response to the 1911 UK Census Evades Biographical Text Born How, Florence was the daughter of John How, a wealthy grocer and tea dealer. She was educated at the North London Collegiate School and matriculated with a Univerity of London B.A. She married a local Cheltenham solicitor, William Earengey in 1899 and they had one daughter, Oenone. Initially a supporter of the NUWSS, she was then a member of the short-lived Cheltenham WSPU and in 1907 was its representative to the local MP. But when her sister, (see) Edith How-Martyn, led the national breakaway from the Pankhursts' grip on the WSPU and was one of the founders of the WFL, Florence followed suit. From 1908 she led the local branch which became a small but tightly-knit group. A woman with a 'bubbling electric personality' and 'magnetism and drive' according to her grandson, she inspired much admiration. She was at the forefront of the Cheltenham census boycott, her husband having advised the national WFL and her sister on the legalities involved. Both she and her daughter evaded the census, probably with her devoted domestic servant Rose. Her husband wrote a statement on the census return to indicate their absence. He had always been an active supporter of the cause and became President of nearby Winchcombe NUWSS.

One child, Esme, was born to them in 1884 while they were in York but her husband’s job in the post office that meant he had different postings and by the 1890s they were based in Transvaal where William was Postmaster General. When he died in 1902, Gertrude seems to have changed her life quite radically. Based in Wendover from 1903 she gradually became involved in local charity work, and this may have drawn her into the society of women interested in the suffrage movement. She and her single sister, Maud, to whom she was very close, were contributing to Women’s Freedom League (WFL) ‘The Vote’ £50,000 Fund by 1908; Maud became secretary of an informal branch of the NUWSS; and they were both participating in the Church League for Women's Suffrage. By 1910 Chestnut Cottage where she lived was the centre of operations for organising meetings especially during the time Muriel Matters and her caravan were in the area campaigning for the WFL. By 1911 Florence had joined the Tax Resistance movement and four days after the census, which she seems to have evaded, her goods were distrained, and this also happened the following year. It was around this time that she became close friends with Muriel Matters who was later to write her obituary in The Vote. Florence seems to have left Buckinghamshire in 1912 moving back to her house in London, and then spending a few years in Findon, Sussex, where she and her sister established the Women's Village Council. To encourage women to influence the design of houses built by local authorities (so called state aided) it used the motto, later adopted by the Women’s Institute, ‘Till we have built Jerusalem in England’s Green and Pleasant Land’. From 1917 onwards her time was spent in promoting this organisation locally and then nationally, and then linking herself to the National Housing and Town Planning Society where she became the only woman on the Executive. In this role she was able to give support to the Australian author Miles Franklin who was working for the NHTPC. For Florence, campaigning for women's suffrage was very much linked to encouraging women’s active involvement as citizens. When she died in 1932, she was buried in Brompton Cemetery where the inscription on her grave reads: 'Our citizenship is in heaven'.

She spent most of her childhood in Portsmouth, living with her parents and five siblings. Her father was a naval doctor, and she had a comfortable middle-class upbringing. In 1887, Lockwood moved to London to study at the prestigious Slade Art School. She then spent several years travelling in Europe, before returning to live alone in London, to make a modest career as an artist although no occupation is given on her census return for 1911. She retained her gift for sketching and painting throughout her life. In 1902 she married Josiah Lockwood, a woollen manufacturer, and moved to Black Rock House in Linthwaite, a village in the Colne Valley, in the West Riding of Yorkshire. The couple never had any children. She came to political activism quite late, in her mid-40s, but embraced it whole-heartedly. She first became involved in public political work in around 1907, and for the next fifteen years she was a significant figure in local politics. She was originally converted to the suffrage cause after hearing Emmeline Pankhurst of the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) speak at the 1907 Colne Valley by-election. Lockwood became President of the Huddersfield Branch of the National Union of Women’s Suffrage Societies (NUWSS) and served on the executive of the Huddersfield branch of its successor organisation, the National Union of Societies for Equal Citizenship (NUSEC). Her suffrage activism included writing pamphlets, writing letters to local newspapers, attending, and speaking at meetings, distributing leaflets on walking tours, and personally persuading other women to take up the cause. She encouraged her maid, Minnie (who was also living at Black Rock House in 1911) to take an interest in politics. Using her artistic talents, she designed and embroidered the NUWSS branch’s ‘Votes for Women’ suffrage banner which depicted the Colne Valley. The banner was completed in 1911 and is now held in Huddersfield’s Tolson Museum. In 1913, she attended the International Woman Suffrage Alliance congress in Budapest. She was also involved in local politics more broadly. She was President of Colne Valley Women’s Liberal Association, served on the Huddersfield Liberal Executive, and worked as a Poor Law Guardian and a School Director. During the First World War, her beliefs changed, and she became an ardent pacifist, rejected liberalism, and converted to socialism. She attended Women’s International League meetings and was on the executive of the Huddersfield branch of the Union of Democratic Control. She had retired from political work by around 1921. When Josiah died in 1924, she moved to London, where she died in 1937. She kept a diary throughout her life, and the diaries for 1914-1920 survive at West Yorkshire Archives and Leeds University Archives. In 1932, she privately published her autobiography, An Ordinary Life. Sources: Manuscripts and Archives Huddersfield, West Yorkshire Archive Service KC909/1, F.

In the 1911 census 24-year-old Florence, is listed as head of the household at Wightwick (Geoffrey is absent). The other occupants of the house are her two young children, Mavis and Mervyn, and staff, including Emma Smith, the housekeeper. Florence shared with her husband an interest in photography. A large photographic archive at Wightwick includes photos she took of her family, friends and the staff who worked at the manor. She was also active locally in speaking out for women’s right to vote. In the 1912-1913 annual report of the Wolverhampton branch of the NUWSS Florence Mander is listed as a member and the following year her husband, Geoffrey, also joined. Florence and Geoffrey also supported the 1913 NUWSS pilgrimage, led by Millicent Fawcett. The annual report describes how, when the travellers stopped in Wolverhampton, they were met by members of the local society. A great meeting was then held in the marketplace which was supported by the couple. Florence, as a member of the Wolverhampton Women’s Suffrage Society, hosted a drawing room meeting at Wightwick on either the 1st or 2nd December 1913, where Alicia Bewicke, Mrs Archibald Little, spoke on ‘Women of the East and West’ with Geoffrey Mander presiding. Alicia had lived in China and spoke about the differing and similar conditions of women in both Chinese and British society. She published a journal examining gender inequality in China and included the words of Chinese women who spoke out against foot binding. Alicia also argued for women’s suffrage in England. Florence also hosted political functions for the Liberal Party at Wightwick and became president of the Wolverhampton Women’s Liberal Association. In a speech given in 1913, she stressed to the association her desire for votes for women, regretting the abandonment of woman’s suffrage at the last session of parliament. After the Representation of the People Act of 1918, which granted some women including Florence the vote, the Manders Monthly Messages pamphlets (which we believe were distributed to the work force and perhaps local community) feature Florence talking about how important it was that women exercise their vote, stating in 1921: ‘Now that women have the vote we play a very important part in politics, and it is essential that we should see that our Candidate understands and sympathises with the women’s point of view, which is equally important as the man’s.’ This is the only such quote we have discovered from Florence in the archive, as she and Geoffrey later divorced.
