Census This person's response to the 1911 UK Census Resists Biographical Text Miss Bowers was likely a social worker at the Bermondsey Settlement in 1911. She 'resisted' the government's census survey that year as part of a boycott organised by suffrage societies prepared to break the law like the Women's Freedom League (WFL) and the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) in protest at women's exclusion from the parliamentary vote. It's likely Miss Bowers colluded in the census protest with fellow Settlement workers living nearby at 63 Union Road, as their defiant messages and hers 'Not filled in as protest against a non representative Government' are uncannily similar (see census image). She is currently ascribed circumspectly on our map to the WFL along with her fellow 'conspirators'. Do you know anything about Miss Bowers? Could you find more? If so please contact us.

Biographical Text Currently, we know little of Miss Britten other than she was most likely a social worker at the Bermondsey Settlement with her housemates (see) Anna Martin and Maria White Frank and that the three women took part in the suffrage boycott of the government census survey in 1911 in protest at not having the vote. Miss Britten chose to leave her census form blank as did fellow resident Maria White Frank. Like Maria, Miss Britten wrote on the cover instead 'I refuse to fill up form as a protest against a non-representative Government'. The boycott was organised by suffrage societies whose members were often prepared to break the law such as the Women's Freedom League (WFL) and the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU). It is suggested here that Miss Britten likely belonged with her housemates to the WFL. Could you shed more light on Miss Britten for our map? If so, please do contact us.

After divorcing Gilbert Sackville, Earl de la Warr, in 1902, Muriel took up residence at Old Lodge on Ashdown Forest. In March 1911 she donated to WSPU funds and sent to the Bexhill Chronicle the WSPU’s reply to Winston Churchill’s attack on it, protesting particularly about the force-feeding of men suffrage activists. At this time Muriel was staying with her friend, American heiress Mary Hoadley Dodge, at Warwick House, St James, where she and her maid are listed as visitors in the 1911 Census. In April 1911 Muriel presided, supported by Louisa Martindale, at a Horsted Keynes meeting, attended by a ‘large, fashionable and enthusiastic audience’, and addressed by Lord Robert Cecil. In the Coronation Procession of 17th June she accompanied Millicent Garrett Fawcett and her entourage. In the autumn of 1911 Muriel became President of the East Grinstead Women’s Suffrage Society formed by Marie Corbett. Vice-Presidents included Lady Sybil Brassey, the second wife of Muriel’s father, and Lady Eleanor Cecil. Meanwhile Muriel and Lady Betty Balfour, President of the Conservative Women’s Franchise Association, had been ‘working indefatigably’ to make Emmeline Pankhurst’s tour of the Highlands ‘a great success’. As Betty Balfour said, presiding over Lady Cowdray’s ‘At Home’ at Dunecht House, ‘Now that the Government has promised facilities for the Conciliation Bill, all suffrage societies are working heart and soul together’. In November 1911 Muriel chaired a WSPU meeting in South Kensington, addressed by Elizabeth Robins and Evelyn Sharp. In February 1912 she was on the platform at a NUWSS Albert Hall event presided over by Millicent Garrett Fawcett and addressed by Lloyd George, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Betty Balfour’s brother Lord Lytton, chair of the Conciliation Committee. A meeting chaired by Muriel at Brockenhurst Ladies College, Seaford, resulted in the formation of a NUWSS branch there. In November, now President also of the Rotherfield and Mark Cross Women’s Suffrage Society, Muriel attended another NUWSS public meeting in the Albert Hall where one of the speakers was Lord Robert Cecil. For the Midlothian by-election in September 1912, Muriel, a committee member of the NUWSS Election Fighting Fund, lent at least one car to the suffrage-supporting Labour Party. She similarly supported George Lansbury when, in November 1912, he resigned his seat of Bow and Bromley in order to force a by-election and stood independently as a Socialist Women’s Suffragist. In January 1913 Muriel became President of the new Federated Council of Women’s Suffrage Societies, comprising 18 non-militant suffrage organisations, and run under the auspices of the National Political League. She participated in a National Political League demonstration in March, and conference in April, calling upon the Government to stop this ‘barbarous custom of forcible feeding’. She was a signatory of protests against the Cat and Mouse Act, and in May 1913 was one of the few women to attend the Bow St trial of seven WSPU officials WSPU, including Beatrice Sanders, and two men. Muriel and Mary Dodge were thanked for supplying cars for the NUWSS Pilgrimage in July 1913, and, in September, Muriel’s ‘large and comfortable motor car’ made Lady Frances Balfour and her companions ‘independent of the vagaries of Highland trains’, on their campaigning tour of Scotland. In 1917 Muriel joined the National Council for Adult Suffrage, and in the December 1918 General Election supported Major Graham-Pole, Labour candidate for the East Grinstead Division, whose publicity gave as the ninth of ten reasons for voting for him that ‘he stands for equal rights for men and women’.

Her mother was Kate Carey - from a well-known and socially active Nottingham family, including women’s suffrage appearing on the list of Patrons for the East Midland Federation of the NUWSS Fete in 1912 – along with her sister, Henrietta Carey. Muriel was active in the NUWSS and the WSPU from about 1907 and took part in several London processions between 1909-1911. She was arrested for “wilfully obstructing Police whilst in the execution of their duty” on ‘Black Friday’, 18th November 1910 at the Deputation to Parliament. She was bailed for £2 and bound over to keep the peace but not imprisoned. She was almost certainly an evader boycotting the 1911 Census and cannot be located anywhere that night. We also know from her scrapbook that she went to a meeting at Morley’s Cafe on 22 March 1911 at which the speaker, Mrs Simon Massey, said the census offered “an excellent and most logical method of protest.” Muriel was also a member of the National Council of Women and a member of the General Council of the YWCA (Young Women’s Christian Association) with whom she worked for over 25 years. She was also a member of the Guild of Helpers, strongly associated with the work of the Nottingham and Notts Convalescent Homes, and the Social Guild. In 1914 when girls employed in the lace trade were thrown out of work, she opened a shop on Derby Road for some of the girls who successfully found employment manufacturing unbreakable dolls, in a small factory run in the Park-passage [now the eastern end of Lenton Rd. next to the Castle] until 1922. Muriel died on the 21st January 1929 at no. 26 The Ropewalk. Her obituary in the Nottingham Evening Post (23 Jan. 1929) said that “Miss Wallis was well known in the district and engaged herself in social and philanthropic work on an extensive scale”. She is buried in the Carey plot at Church cemetery. Researched and contributed by Nottingham Women's History group www.nottinghamwomenshistory.org.uk. Sources: No Surrender!

After a brief spell in south Wales the family moved to Devon where in 1881 Myra was described as an ‘art student’ though it is not clear where she studied. Myra was a portrait and figure painter and in 1881 exhibited as an associate with the Society of Women Artists and by 1891 had moved to London where she exhibited regularly from 1905 with the Royal Academy. Among her exhibits was a portrait of Lady Balfour (1894) and one of the daughter of Sir John Craggs MVO. Featured (images) are her paintings of the Very Reverend Edward Maclure (1895) and a painting of an unknown woman in black (dated circa early twentieth century). Myra also drew inspiration from her travels in northern France (glimpsed in a painting of a Breton harbour scene) and Palestine which inspired a biblical painting (c.1912) owned by Sister Agnes Mason (founder of the Community of the Holy Family). Myra joined the London Society for Women’s Suffrage (NUWSS) in 1909 and was also secretary of the Kensington branch of the Conservative & Unionist Women’s Franchise Association (CUWFA) for which she also produced a suffrage postcard entitled ‘Woman’s cause is Man’s: They rise or sink together’. She also held numerous suffrage meetings in her spacious studio (no.1) at 57 Bedford Gardens, Kensington. Some of the meetings were recorded by suffrage campaigner Kate Frye in her diary (see sources below) which gives some fascinating glimpses into the meetings where there was often ‘a crush of people and no end of helpers’. Although Myra belonged to law abiding suffrage societies the CUWFA and NUWSS, she likely took part in the organised suffragette boycott of the 1911 census as she is nowhere to be found on the census record. The census official noted that Myra was was the occupier of the flat but listed it as ‘unoccupied’ that night. Sources: E Crawford (Ed.)

In 1911, she took part in the suffragette boycott of the government census survey. She wrote across her form for 58 Marlow Moor Road, that 'Until women are recognised by the government as citizens, I refuse to do a citizens duty - No Vote - No Census' and she signed it Nellie Allen. The census official speculates on the form, probably after a conversation with neighbours: 'I understand Miss Allen has a brother and a domestic servant living with her' none of whom were present. By 1913, Nellie was co-treasurer of the WSPU Manchester branch with Miss Wallwork: the two using an office at 32 King Street West.

Suffrage Society The suffrage society this person was affiliated with at the time of the 1911 UK Census NUWSS Census This person's response to the 1911 UK Census Complies Biographical Text Born 1865 in Southampton, Norah was a founder and leading member of the Portsmouth branch of the law abiding NUWSS - part of the Surrey, Sussex and Hants wing of the federation. Norah lived on the outskirts of Portsmouth with her sister - and fellow NUWSS member Margaret - and two servants in 'The Cottage'. The sisters often opened the garden at The Cottage - with rather belied its name with 14 rooms - for suffrage events (see image). Norah was known as the 'red haired rebel': both she and her sister used a home made solution of sage and other herbs grown in the garden, to achieve a much admired red lustre for their hair. By 1910, Norah had been elected as a Parish Councillor, and for the suffrage movement, participated in a seemingly endless round of suffrage meetings, often acting as speaker for which she was much in demand. In 1911, she gave a particularly witty speech entitled 'The Education of an MP' declaring that, despite her best efforts, 'she did not know she had as yet educated one' (see images). She was also Honorary secretary of the NUWSS Parliamentary Committee that year (likely through to 1913), so responsible for organizing deputations and support for suffrage bills proposed for parliament. As a law abiding member of the NUWSS, Norah did not take part in the suffrage boycott of the 1911 census, but together with her sister, she did make a personal protest writing across the census form: 'We have filled in this paper under protest because women cannot vote for Members of Parliament'. So, whilst Norah technically complied, she still seized the chance to express her opinion. Norah later helped organize and took part in the NUWSS Women's Pilgrimage - a huge march made by women walking from every corner of the country to rally in London - in 1913. She made several impromptu speeches along the way that were very well received (see images). She also took part in organizing the Women's Peace Crusade in 1914, including a rally planned for Hyde Park in November. Norah was an internationalist thinker and throughout her life maintained close ties with the socialist movement, the Labour Party and Workers Union, and was a passionate vegetarian. Norah died in 1953.

This is according to baptismal records. Olive reported herself as being younger than she was, leading to discrepancies in her age. She was raised as an Anglican by her maternal grandparents after her parents separated. She moved to London in 1898 to become a professional singer, training at the Royal College of Music. While training, her recitals of poems focused on Indian themes, garnered great attention. After her training, she turned to journalism and philanthropy, focusing on raising money for orphanages. She worked as an investigative journalist, going into communities in disguise to understand their struggles. She worked at a sweet shop, as a pedlar, a factory girl, and as a waitress, among many other roles. She wrote about prostitution and the sexual exploitation of women, the working conditions of women and labour laws. She published many works, and she donated her royalties to shelters for homeless women and Christian charitable organisations. In 1905, she married a Scottish-born US diplomat, Archibald Mackirdy. Her bridesmaids were Hoxton Costermongers, and she invited 1000 working girls as guests. She had 3 children before Archibald died in 1909. She joined the Church League for Women’s Suffrage in 1909, and it didn’t take long for her to rise in the organisation as a member. She headlined an event at Steinway Hall within her first year as a member. She believed in action first, helping women into shelters to care for their immediate needs. Women’s suffrage was a means to prevent injustices by a government that was corrupt without the influence of women. She openly criticised the differences between the custodial sentences of men who sexually exploited women and suffragettes. 25% of the profits from her publication ‘the white slave market’ went to the NUWSS election fighting fund. During the 1911 census, she was staying at Barton Court Hotel in New Milton, Hampshire. Her age is reported as 29, which would be incorrect according to the baptismal records. The birthplace, marriage status and length and number of children reported all match up to the information confirmed about Olive. Olive regularly lied about her age on official documents, so it is believed this is her census. She spoke at a meeting in 1912 held at St Clare Castle, Ryde on the Isle of Wight, which was instrumental in forming the Ryde branch of the NUWSS. Over her lifetime, she donated enough money to build two homeless shelters for women in London. She died in 1914 due to an illness associated with cancer.
