Isabel and her family lived alongside the suffrage campaigners (see) Rev George Davis and his more militant wife Ethel Davis in The Cloisters. However, Isabel appears to have been a law abiding suffragist having membership of the NUWSS. She is found contributing to the NUWSS Women's Suffrage Pilgrimage, where women walked to London from all over the country, with her father in the NUWSS newspaper The Common Cause in 1913. She supported local campaigning for women's suffrage during the Hereford by-election in March 1912, working alongside (see) Mabel Chave and the Davis's. Isabel complied with the 1911 census, describing herself under occupation as a "gentlewoman". Her mother died in 1918, and Isabel and her father then moved to Cheltenham. She never married and died in 1947, leaving £18,000 in her will. Contributed by Herefordshire community fundraiser, Clare Wichbold MBE.

In 1903 he married Edith Ayrton who was also active in the suffrage movement. In 1906 he told Edith Palliser, secretary of the London Society for Women’s Suffrage, that he was too busy to address suffrage meetings. In December 1907, Israel spoke at the first big public meeting held by the MLWS; he later became one of its Vice-Presidents. On 21 June 1908, the Zangwills took part in the WSPU’s ‘Women’s Sunday’ procession to Hyde Park, riding in a four-horse coach with HG Wells, Thomas Hardy, and others. Later that year Zangwill criticised certain militant methods, and in February 1909 he was the principal speaker at an Exeter Hall meeting organised by non-militant societies. In May 1909 he addressed an NUWSS meeting in Cambridge; the following month he spoke for the WSPU in London. By the end of the year, he was supporting the WFL; a full-page profile in its paper Vote described him as ‘witty, ironic and brilliant’. In April 1911, the Zangwills joined the organised boycott of the census choosing to evade. Their servants were recorded and the Zangwills left a signed note on the census (see image) stating ‘The rest of the household is not entered as we feel that until women have the political rights of citizens, they should not perform the duties of citizens’. In June, Zangwill was in the writers’ contingent of the WSPU Coronation procession and on the platform at its Albert Hall finale. The Actresses’ Franchise League, the International Women’s Suffrage Club, and the Men’s International Alliance for Women’s Suffrage were among other organisations addressed by him. In November 1912 he expressed support for the new Jewish League for Women’s Suffrage, and by 1913 was speaking for the Women’s Tax Resistance League. In May 1913 Zangwill wound up an Oxford Union debate at which a women’s suffrage resolution was carried for the first time. He was involved in protests at this time against force feeding - of Hugh Franklin of the Men’s Political Union as well as of women prisoners – and the Cat and Mouse Act. In Sussex as elsewhere, Zangwill supported both constitutional and militant suffrage societies. In May 1911 he addressed a meeting of the Worthing Women’s Franchise Society presided over by (see) Lady Maud Parry; in February 1914 a meeting of the Littlehampton Women’s Suffrage Society, chaired by Alys Russell. In December 1912 WSPU organiser (see) Greta Allen reported two meetings in Chichester addressed by Zangwill and Alice Abadam, one disrupted by ‘hooligans.’ In February 1913 Zangwill became involved in a scuffle with Worthing hooligans shouting down his wife and other WSPU speakers at the Kursaal. When the United Suffragists was formed early in 1914, Israel and Edith Zangwill became Vice-Presidents, and as a United Suffragists speaker 1915 Zangwill demanded that the ‘Women’s Voice’ be heard in any Peace Settlement. Zangwill’s most memorable speeches were published as pamphlets by the Woman’s Press. Several were delivered at the Albert Hall on behalf of either the WSPU or the NUWSS, and Zangwill attributed the success of one speech, at a WSPU meeting in Nov 1910, to Miss Rosa Leo, voice coach to WSPU speakers: ‘Thanks to your teachings I spoke for nearly an hour at the Albert Hall without weariness – at least to myself – while my voice carried to every part of the hall’. Rosa Leo used this endorsement for months to come in her suffrage press advertisements.

He fled to London and in 1905 married an Englishwoman. The couple and their daughter moved first from Brixton to Eastbourne. They were living at Brookside, Ifield, Crawley by March 1908 when Prelooker was summoned to Horsham Police Court for withholding his rates and taxes as a protest against the political disqualification of women. On the Saturday that the police were due at 4pm to execute a distress warrant and seize Prelooker’s furniture, two open-air ‘demonstrations’ were arranged: at 3pm in the grounds of Prelooker’s house, and at 5.30pm in the High Street. Edith New and Nancy Lightman of the WSPU arrived from London with a ‘Votes for Women’ banner to attach to the Brookside gates. They and Prelooker delivered speeches to the assembled crowd but the police did not turn up. Their disappointed audience dispersed. The speakers then moved to the High Street to address another large crowd. The police postponed their visit until the Monday when the sums due and Court expenses were fully paid by Prelooker who announced that his object had been achieved: to make a moral protest for the purpose of public enlightenment. Later in 1908, during the four-month WFL caravan tour of Kent, Surrey and Sussex undertaken by Muriel Matters, Prelooker was ‘of great assistance’, and hosted a meeting in Crawley addressed by Edith How Martyn. In December 1912 he chaired a meeting at the town’s Railway Hotel addressed by Goldfinch Bate, of the International Women’s Franchise Club, and Dr Charles Drysdale, fellow member of the MLWS, who had a home in Henfield. In February 1913 Prelooker organised an exhibition in Eastbourne Town Hall on behalf of the MLWS. All the major suffrage societies took part and the event began with a procession round the town led by Prelooker carrying a NUWSS banner. The object of the exhibition was to demonstrate the extent of the women’s suffrage movement and displays included the products of sweated industries. Among the leading activists who made speeches were Edith Zangwill of the WSPU and the Jewish League for Women’s Suffrage, Revd Claude Hinscliff, founder with his wife Gertrude of the Church League for Women’s Suffrage, Margaret Kineton-Parkes of the WTRL, and Dr Charles Drysdale. The exhibition resulted in the formation of a branch of the MLWS in Eastbourne and new members for the NUWSS. In November 1912 Prelooker attended the first Congress of the Men’s International Alliance for Women’s Suffrage, held in London, and in August 1913 he represented this organisation at the 20th Universal Peace Conference at The Hague. Prelooker also continued to participate in local suffrage events. At a rally in Horsham’s Causeway in May 1913 of Florence de Fonblanque’s Marchers qui Vive, the speakers were ‘thanked at some length by a gentleman of markedly un-English appearance and a foreign accent’. Please note: 'Brookside' no longer exists and so its position on the map is approximate.

She started working with her mother in a gun factory when she was 11. She later recorded that she was educated in the spirit of rebellion by the Salvation Army. On 16 September 1888, she married a boot-maker, George Baines, and had five children. Only three of them survived childhood. Jennie joined the WSPU in 1903, after witnessing Christabel Pankhurst and Annie Kenney at the Free Trade Hall. In 1906, she went to London as an organizer for the WSPU - asked by Mrs Pankhurst. She was arrested on 13 December 1906 at the entrance to the House of Commons and completed a sentence of 14 days in Holloway prison. In her own words, this experience reinforced her concern for the treatment of women prisoners and made her more of a rebel than ever. After her first imprisonment as a suffragette, Jennie Baines was very active as a full-time organiser for the WSPU, focused on the Midlands and North of England including Leeds and Manchester. She was the main speaker on one of the platforms at the WSPU June 1908 Hyde Park demonstration. That year she wrote a handbill, published by the Woman's Press, titled "The Labour of Married Women: a working woman's reply to Mr John Burns". She was arrested on many occasions over the years, served prison sentences in different gaols where she performed several hunger strikes. The Criminal Record Office considered her a "Known Militant Suffragette" and circulated her photograph and description: 4' 10", brown eyes, dark brown hair. In 1913, Jennie was arrested and sentenced to one month imprisonment. She was warned that her body could not undergo another hunger strike because her health had already deteriorated as a result of her many prison sentences, hunger strikes and subsequent force-feedings. For this reason, Jennie escaped to Australia with her family where her activism continued. She became an organizer for the Women's Political Association, and joined the Socialist party with her husband. She also co-founded the Women's Peace Army and was elected officer in 1917. In 1919, she was arrested and sentenced to six months imprisonment in Melbourne. She was the first hunger-striker in Australia and was released within four days. She was a founding member of the Victorian branch of the Communist Party in 1920 but was expelled in 1925. In 1928 she was appointed a Children's Court magistrate in Port Melbourne. In 1911, Jennie was living at 66 Chatham Street, Stockport. Despite her very active profile in the suffragette movement, she did not participate in the census protest in 1911 as her census form (see image) shows. There is no clear evidence of the reasons behind her decision not to participate in the boycott, but it may have been due to the economic situation of her family (taking part in the boycott carried a potential fine), the lack of support networks for the protest in her local area, or that her own priorities as an activist were closer to working class women’s issues, which the census, recording things like overcrowding and child deaths, could be used to argue for social reform. She was described thus in the WSPU newspaper 'Votes for Women': 'A woman whose soul is filled with passionate desire to rescue the oppressed, who hates compromise, who is a stranger to fear - such a woman is Mrs Baines'. Jennie Baines died in 1951.

Her father was a farmer and she grew up in a family with very strict views on women’s roles linked to the private, domestic sphere. However, despite her parents’ initial reluctance, Jessie moved abroad and lived in Germany and France with their consent, while working as an English teacher. In 1907, she started campaigning for the votes for women campaign with the WSPU. On 21 June 1908, she was the chief Marshall of the Paddington section of the WSPU rally in Hyde Park, speaking from platform no. 20. A few days later she was chosen to take part in a WSPU deputation to the House of Commons. She managed to enter the House of Commons, and almost succeeded in entering the Central Hall according to her own accounts. In November 1910, she was arrested after breaking a window to protest about police brutality against suffrage activists in Parliament Square during "Black Friday". She was sentenced to one month's imprisonment in Holloway, losing her job as a secretary to a barrister and her family’s support. In 1911 she went to Manchester to work as a WSPU organizer. In April, she organised a census night protest for women who wanted to evade the census without legal consequences. She rented Denison House (see images) - her census lodge - and publicly invited ‘every woman who could help in this great protest’, announcing lodging and entertainment there on 2nd April from 4pm through to 3rd April at 4pm in the WSPU newspaper Votes for Women. On census night, 208 people participated in the protest there (see images) including figures such as Flora Drummond and Mabel Capper. In her autobiographical account, Jessie wrote that she filled in the census schedule herself writing: “this house is crowded with women who refuse to fill in the Census until women are recognised as persons and have the vote”. However, the document available from The National Archives (see image) is not the form she described. Instead, it is filled in and signed by the registrar. Only Jessie’s name is recorded as an ‘Organizing Secretary WSPU’, 'about 40 years old' and single, along with 155 other women and 52 men present. The registrar noted ‘suffragists here to avoid census’.

She married Dr. William Fraser Annand and the couple had two children together. They likely moved to Coventry in 1909, whereupon Dr. Annand went into practice with Dr. Frederick Harman Brown - a partnership that lasted until the latter retired in 1919. Jessie soon joined the Coventry Women's Suffrage Society (the local branch of the law abiding NUWSS) along with the wife of her husband's business partner (see) Mrs. Dora Harman-Brown. Jessie was regular at suffrage meetings in the city and was active in a number of women's organisations over the years. She was Vice president of the Coventry Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) and a member of the local branch of the National Council for Women that sought to tackle gender inequality. She was also a keen worker at Coventry and Warwickshire Hospital. Jessie died at Clive house - the former home of friends the Harman-Brown's - in February 1939. A large memorial service was held for her at Coventry Cathedral and was very well attended. Researcher: Tara Morton. Coventry research funded by Warwick University.

He was educated at Weymouth College and at St John's College, Cambridge, and was appointed Canon of Birmingham cathedral in 1906. In 1907, he took charge of St Michael's, Coventry, where he also took up the votes for women cause. He became a speaker at suffrage meetings, and accompanied his wife - a member of the Coventry Women's Suffrage Society - to meetings on numerous occasions. In 1912, the couple left Coventry, when John was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury to take a new post at Mary-le-bow in Cheapside, London. However, he did not leave behind the suffrage cause. In 1913, he held a public women's suffrage rally in his new London parish, where he made clear his ardent support but his disagreement with the suffragettes militant tactics. Speaking at the rally about suffrage campaigning, he said, 'it did not matter only that they did win, it mattered how they won...' and campaigners should '...resolve that they would come through with untarnished hands, even if the fight took longer to win'.

He married Hannah Alice Spurr in 1877, and they would go on to have one daughter and two sons. John moved to the Isle of Wight in 1879, starting as the clerk for the clerk of the Shanklin local board and burial board. He became the town clerk of Shanklin in 1884, a position he would hold for 41 years until his death. Before this, he had other positions within local government. He acted as an agent for Major General Seely during the Boer War in 1900. He was an active member of the Island’s Conservative association, and by 1906, he was secretary for the association. John was also a practising solicitor and was a prominent figure in the police courts and in lawsuits. He complied with the 1911 census. He was recorded living at his home, St Margarets Dene in Shanklin with his wife and 3 children (see map for approximate position). John was chairman of the Shanklin branch of the Church League for Women’s Suffrage, which was formed at the beginning of 1912. His daughter, Margaret Marsh, was made the Honorary Secretary of the CLWS Shanklin branch. In February of that year, he chaired a meeting at the smaller co-operative hall in Shanklin in which he shared how he’d believed in women’s suffrage since the beginning of his interactions with politics. In May, he presided over an open-air meeting in Shanklin Square for visiting suffragists Mrs J.E. Francis of Brighton and Miss L Corben of London. In July, he travelled to the House of Commons alongside fellow Island suffragette Viscountess Eleanor Gort and other members of the movement. They travelled to ask for the MP for the Isle of Wight, Douglas Hall, to support amendments to current legislation to allow for the vote to be extended to women. In October of 1912, he chaired a meeting at Sandown Town Hall in which he apologised for his presence as he was sure everyone in the area and beyond knew his views on the topic. Norah O’Shea, parliamentary secretary of the Surrey Sussex and Hants branch of NUWSS, was a speaker at the meeting. He continued to regularly chair meetings in 1913, including one for the NUWSS and a National meeting for the CLWS. In 1914, he attended a well-attended meeting of the CLWS in Ryde. John became president of the Shanklin Conservative Association in 1923. John died in December 1925, aged 79. He had been Ill for the year leading up to his death, preventing him from working as Shanklin town clerk. He left behind his wife and three children, including his eldest son, Colonel Frank Harrison Marsh, who commanded of the Isle of Wight Rifles for a period of time.

He studied theology at Queen’s College Oxford and spent many years in education, including as the first Head Teacher of Clifton College, Bristol, and Headmaster of Rugby School. Married in 1862, he and his first wife Louisa had eight children. Percival championed the cause of women’s rights throughout his teaching career. He was involved in the foundation of Somerville Hall (now Somerville College, Oxford) in 1879. In 1888 he appointed Marie Beauclerc to teach shorthand to boys at Rugby School, the first woman to hold such a teaching post. He became Bishop of Hereford in 1895 and was widowed the following year. He found working in a large rural diocese with very conservative views a struggle. However, together with other liberal clergymen, Bishop Percival expressed support for women’s suffrage in print and at meetings. He remarried in 1899 to Mary Georgina Symonds from Oxford. As bishop of Hereford, his usual address was The Palace, Hereford where he is located on the map. However, in 1911 Bishop Percival was visiting Much Wenlock when the government census survey was taken, staying at the Vicarage with the Reverend Edwin Bartlett. Mrs Percival was visiting her sister in Oxford and also completed the census. Bishop Percival was active in condemning the forced feeding of women prisoners, and again spoke out for those detained under the so called ‘Cat and Mouse’ Act or The Prisoners (Temporary Discharge for Ill-Health) Act 1913. This allowed the authorities to release hunger strikers until they had regained their health, then re-arrest them in a continuous cycle. He was a member of the Church League for Womens Suffrage, named in the list of clergymen printed in the June 1912 CLWS newspaper. In February 1914 he added his name to the long list of clergymen who wrote in support of the women’s suffrage petition and voted in support of Lord Selborne’s Bill for the enfranchisement of women in June 1914. Bishop Percival later became a vice president of the CLWS, but the loss of his son Lt-Col. Arthur Jex-Blake Percival early in World War I was a severe blow. He became an ardent pacifist and found his views increasingly at odds with the established church. Bishop Percival retired in 1917, and moved to Oxford, where he died the following year. He was buried at Clifton College in Bristol. Source: Oxford DNB. Contributed by Herefordshire community fundraiser Clare Wichbold, MBE.
