The Barham Saga II – an addition

The Barham Saga II – an addition

Pea-Bee has had a bit of luck with the life story of George Mayze, the father of Lydia Matilda Barham, detailed in “The Barham Saga II” blog published 26 January 2015.

It was known that, over a 12-year period starting in January 1870, George Mayze had been in and out of Greenwich Workhouse and the associated infirmary. He had been last heard of when he left the infirmary at his own request on 27 May 1882. After then, no record had been found of him, not even his death.

Until now…

Scouring the records, Pea-Bee has found him again and can added much to his story. Foolishly, Pea-Bee was looking only at the Greenwich records. Now he has found that George was lost all because a clerk at Lewisham Workhouse had misspelt his name as Mayes – and it was only by deciphering the appalling handwriting of another clerk on a document requesting his transfer back to Greenwich that it was possible to find out what happened next; that he lived for another 12 years after he left the Greenwich infirmary in 1882.

The first clues that he had survived were two entries in the Greenwich Union Workhouse admission records for his wife, Jane Mayze (spelt correctly). In 1892, when Jane was 74, she was admitted as destitute and described as “wife of George” whose address was given as Lewisham Union Workhouse. In the autumn of 1894, after a month in the infirmary, Jane was readmitted to the Greenwich Workhouse and described as George’s widow.

Tracking back in the Lewisham records, Pea-Bee found that within two months of George’s previously known departure from the care of the Greenwich Union in 1882, he was admitted to Lewisham Union Workhouse where he remained for a year before being discharged at his own request. He made it in the outside world for all of six weeks and was then back in Lewisham Workhouse on 24 August 1883 – and this time he stayed for over nine years.

On 22 September 1892 he was removed to Greenwich Workhouse where he was immediately taken into the infirmary. He died there on 27 April 1894. He was 81 and had spent more than 20 years all told in workhouses.

His story can now be told:

George Mayze in The Workhouse

Over a 24-year period starting in January 1870, George Mayze was in and out of Greenwich and Lewisham workhouses; in total he spent more than the equivalent of 13½ years there, and nearly three years in the infirmary where he eventually died in 1894, aged 84.
Until 1877, the details in the register of admissions and discharges give little more than his previous employment (usually a labourer) and the reason for admission, almost always because he was destitute, but sometimes because he was ill or had a bad leg as well.
From 1877, the records also give his last place of residence and the name and address of the next of kin, where known.

15 July 1896 Maze Jane 77 St Paul[49] Died in GUW

There is no record that the entry into the infirmary in 1894 was from Greenwich Union Workhouse Woolwich Road. It is possible that Jane entered the infirmary directly, previously been discharged from Woolwich Road. According to one image of the index Greenwich Workhouse Woolwich Road 1893 (image 42) there was an entry for “Maize Jane” on folio 60 but there is not such note on the other index page (image 41) nor is there any actual entry on images 190-191 which correspond to folio 60 and covering the period May 15 and 16 1893.

Footnotes
* Gothic Hall, Deptford Broadway was a very large coffee shop and lodging house run by William Miller
† Elizabeth Taylor (1842-1916), a dressmaker, was George and Jane’s second child. She had married George Taylor, the son of a Deptford miller David Taylor, in 1863 but was widowed after seven years in which time she had had three children (she had another two – father unknown – after her husband died)
§ Straightsmouth is the name of a street in Greenwich

** George was actually in Greenwich Workhouse in 1871 and 1 Wellington Grove was occupied by various unrelated people. However, in 1861, Jane Mayze’s brother William Bradley was there with his family – including his one-month-old son Henry, with Jane Mayze present as nurse. At that time, George and his children were at 11 St James Place West. Jane was living at 8 King Street in 1871 (with William and Tabitha Bradley and family) but where she was in 1881 has not been determined

The Insanity of John Henry Owen

The Insanity John Henry Owen 


John Henry Owen, by trade a gilder, appears to have had a history of insanity, with periods of incarceration at various asylums around London at various times from 1882 – the year after he was married – until his death in 1916. It is entirely possible that his illness was brought on by his trade: gilding involved the use of mercury which could result in “gilders’ palsy”. The effects of mercury use in another trade, hat making, has led to the common expression “as mad as a hatter”.

First, a brief biography. John Henry Owen was born in Bermondsey in 1843[1], the illegitimate son of Sarah Owen. After Sarah’s marriage to Henry Southgate, on Christmas Day 1849[2], John lived with his mother, her new husband – an engine driver and stoker – and her widowed mother Elizabeth Owen. In 1851 and 1861, they were at 7 Cottage Place, Bermondsey – by 1861, John had already taken up the trade of carver and gilder[3]. Both his step-father and grandmother died in the 1860s, so there was only John and his mother at 7 Cottage Place in 1871[4]. In 1881 his mother was still at 7 Cottage Place, and had a Customs Officer as a lodger[5], but John was by then lodging with a carpenter and his family at 9 Deacon Street, Newington[6].

When, on 11 June 1881, John married Mary Ann Maria Stroud at Holy Trinity, Newington, he gave his father’s name as Samson Owen, deceased[7].

Between 1882 and 1896, John and Mary Ann had at least six children[8] and the family lived at 6 D’Eynsford Road[9] and then 1 Picton Street, Camberwell[10].

Insanity

His first “attack” of insanity occurred in 1882 and he was admitted to Wandsworth Asylum on 14 April and discharged on 8 July when he had “recovered”[11].

The next bout was 12 years later and he was admitted to Havil Street Workhouse, Camberwell, on 4 May 1894[12]. Described as allegedly insane, he was transferred the next day[13] to Barming Heath Asylum where he spent 2½ years, being discharged on 3 September 1896[14].

Several months later, on 15 April 1897, he was again admitted, allegedly insane, to a Camberwell Workhouse, this time the one in Constance Road[15]. He remained there until 26 April when he was transferred to Cane Hill Asylum[16]. He was discharged from there on 19 October 1897[17].

Another attack of his alleged insanity took him back to Constance Road Workhouse on 19 February 1898[18] but he was discharged from there a month later at his own request[19].

There then appears to have been some remission in his condition and it was not until 5 June 1902 that he was readmitted to Constance Road Workhouse[20] and then transferred to Cane Hill Asylum on 12 June[21]. He was discharged on 6 November 1902[22].

His final admittance to Constance Road Workhouse was on 26 November 1906[23] and on 4 December he was transferred once again to Cane Hill Asylum[24] where he was to remain for nearly ten years until his death on 27 September 1916[25].

There is some confusion as to precise dates for his being committed for these earlier attacks of insanity, as the Camberwell Register of Lunatics for 1893-1897[26] states that John Henry Owen, 52, a gilder of 6 D’Eynsford Road, was 38 when he had his “first attack” and that it was in 1881 when he was sent for treatment to Wandsworth. The “last attack” – that is the one reported in 1894 – had lasted a week before an order was made on 5 May for him to be sent to the asylum at Barming Heath and that he was discharged from there on 26 August (other records state he was sent there on 5 April and discharged on 3 September 1896).

This register also states that he was readmitted to Cane Hill on 2 November 1898 and discharged on 26 December, but no other record of this committal can be found.

The 1894 register does state that the cause of the insanity was not known; no other relatives were affected; John was not epileptic nor suicidal but was dangerous to others.

However, when John was 60 and entered Cane Hill in 1902, it was said his first attack was when he was 55 and the current one had last a month. Again the cause of his insanity was not known but now it was stated that he was both epileptic and suicidal and that he threatened others, but he was discharged because he had recovered.[27]

Daughter’s problem

The Owen’s youngest daughter, Sybil, also spent time in an asylum in 1910 when she was 15. She was admitted to Constance Road Workhouse on 28 February[28], was transferred to Banstead Asylum on 9 May[29] and discharged from there “recovered” on 15 August[30]. There appears to have been no further problem.

Footnote

As a footnote, there was another John Henry Owen who had mental problems. He was born in Sheffield in 1866 and he was committed to Wandsworth Asylum on 13 September 1905[31]. He left there on 15 April 1907 and, because he had “not improved”, was sent to an asylum nearer his home at Wadsley, Yorkshire, when he stay until his death on 26 September 1908[32].
