By 1894 she had married Capt. Charles Melvill Gonne of the Royal Artillery and given birth to a son in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa. By 1901, the family had moved to Kent where Josephine was in a partnership with an electrical engineer’s business in Canterbury, although this was dissolved in 1906. The couple were active in the suffrage movement from at least 1910 (see separate entry for Charles Gonne). Their son Vere Carol Melvill Gonne (1894-1961) was also a suffrage supporter who donated to the Men’s Political Union for Women’s Enfranchisement. In 1911, Josephine wrote to the Common Cause newspaper defending the policy of the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) and its interruption of a Liberal meeting at Bath. She donated to WSPU campaigns several times in the following years and also belonged to the Women’s Tax Resistance League (WTRL) which campaigned under the slogan ‘No Vote, No Tax’. During early 1911, Charles was on the electoral register in London and the couple were active in the WSPU branch in the King’s Road, Chelsea. No record has been found of Charles, Josephine, or their son in the census of April 1911, so it is possible that they evaded it as per WSPU and WTRL policy. By the autumn, they had moved to 'Hazeldene' Sylvan Way, Bognor Regis, West Sussex (the location is approximated on the map) where Josephine hosted an “At Home” for a local suffrage society that included militant and non-militant campaigners and at which her husband and Evelyn Sharp spoke. Perhaps the most dramatic moment in Josephine’s campaigning came when Charles was imprisoned in December 1913 for refusing to pay taxes on her behalf. ‘The Vote’ newspaper complimented Josephine on her “plucky fight” in support of her husband. She sent a telegram to the King giving the facts of the case but was told to submit her petition to the monarch via the Home Secretary. She declined this “doubtful privilege”, asking to present it through a military officer instead. Fortunately, Charles was released within 48 hours and Vere made a public statement supporting him. Josephine died four years later in February 1917, aged around fifty. In her will she left over £2000 to her husband (worth approx. £150,000 today). By then Vere had joined the Royal Garrison Artillery in line with his family’s military tradition, eventually becoming an acting major.

The house was owned by a relative of Ada Brown by marriage. By 1906 they were marketing the products of the Violet Farm they established there, referring to themselves as Misses Allen-Brown FRHS. They began by advertising boxes of freshly cut violets in the Morning Post in March 1906; in the autumn the magazines The Gentlewoman and The Queen promoted their soap, bath salts, perfume, and protective ‘motor lotion’. A year later their business was publicised as being world-famous and scented ‘novelties’ were proposed as Christmas gifts. From April 1908, when Votes for Women progressed from a monthly to weekly publication, Misses D and A. Allen-Brown are listed as contributors to WSPU funds. From August 1908, each week’s issue of the paper carried advertisements for their ‘preparations’. In September, a page headed ‘Progress of Women’ included an announcement of the founding of a French Horticultural School by ‘those two excellent friends of the WSPU, Misses Allen-Brown’. Training was to be conducted on up-to-date scientific principles and based on fashionable French methods. The two-year course would lead to a diploma, and endeavours would be made to place students in good positions in France or England. Misses Allen-Brown, by now major employers of women in Henfield, helped arrange a women’s suffrage meeting held on 11 July 1910 in the village Assembly Rooms. NUWSS organiser Barbara Duncan reported in their newspaper the Common Cause that she and Florence Basden, chair of the Brighton and Hove Women’s Franchise Society, ‘went to Henfield where Miss Mack (aka feminist playwright Margaret Macnamara) and the ladies of the Violet Nurseries had gathered a delightful audience’. Reverend CC Pridgeon, Vicar of nearby Steyning, was in the chair, with (see) Elizabeth Robins in support. It was as WSPU members, however, that Misses Allen-Brown refused to sign the 1911 Census: the Holmgarth page lists only the cook, housekeeper, and a housemaid. The Votes for Women newspaper reported the first WSPU meeting to take place in Henfield: on 27 November 1911. It was chaired by Elizabeth Robins and addressed by Isabel Seymour, a WSPU administrator, and ‘The platform was decorated by the ladies of the Violet Nurseries.’ In 1912 Henfield suffragists followed Elizabeth Robins in supporting Emmeline and Frederick Pethick-Lawrence when the couple were prosecuted for conspiracy in the WSPU’s campaign of violent destruction, even though they did not participate in this themselves. When the Government tried to recover some of the costs of window-smashing by auctioning the contents of the Pethick-Lawrence house in Dorking on 31 Oct 1912, much of its contents was purchased by friends and returned. The Misses Ada-Brown were among the women of the village who contributed to a collection made by Ada Baxter, wife of the Captain of the Henfield Fire Brigade, towards this purchase fund. Misses Allen-Brown oversaw the planting of the flower beds at Backsettown, a record of which was kept by Elizabeth Robins at the back of her Visitors Book. In 1913 they published The Violet Book, dedicated to ‘Our neighbour, Miss Elizabeth Robins’.

Gladys Sherris (1885-1939), recorded as staying at The Wilderness from 1907, was the elder daughter of a Royal Navy paymaster. By 1908 Dorothy de Jersey Le Lacheur, one of May’s sisters, was holding local WSPU meetings at The Wilderness. Dorothy and May, with their elder brother and Gladys, took part in the WSPU demonstration in Hyde Park on the 21st of June 1908, driving to London in a motor car decorated with rosettes in green, white, and purple. Later in 1908, Dorothy set up a Tunbridge Wells branch of the Women’s Freedom League (WFL) running this as secretary. Her mother became treasurer of the Tunbridge Wells branch of the NUWSS. Meetings of both societies were held at The Wilderness. In the spring of 1909, as ‘M Martin, The Wilderness, Tunbridge Wells’, May placed a small ad in the WSPU’s Votes for Women newspaper: ‘Lady gardener seeks situation in private or market garden; full training; certificates and practical experience’. Nothing appears to have come of this, and a year later she and Gladys had established the Flower Farm in Upper Station Road, Henfield, and were advertising in Votes for Women, ‘boxes of choice cut flowers’ and ‘strong transplanted seedlings.’ As a commercial enterprise, the Flower Farm never rivalled the merchandise and marketing developed by (see) the Misses Allen-Brown at the Violet Nurseries nearby. As women of means, May and Gladys could afford to concentrate instead on winning professional prestige by entering their produce in top-class competitions. In July 1910, their success at the annual Women’s Agricultural and Horticultural International Union Show at the Royal Botanical Gardens, Regent’s Park, was reported in, significantly, the NUWSS paper The Common Cause: ‘Misses May M Le Lacheur and Gladys Sherris, FRHS, who within the last 12 months have established a nursery garden at Henfield, were awarded the silver Knightian medal for English hothouse melons, and a first prize for giant sweet peas and a second prize for roses.’ In 1911, as confirmation of a shift from militant to non-militant, May and Gladys complied with the Census, signing it as ‘Suffragists and nursery gardeners’ (see image). In 1912, they joined other Henfield women, notably (see) Elizabeth Robins and the Misses Allen-Brown, in contributing to a fund to help the Pethick-Lawrences, following the couple’s ejection from the WSPU. One likes to picture this group of women gathered together on the 14th of May 1913, when (see) Florence de Fonblanque and her Marchers Qui Vive, who were staying overnight in Henfield on their way from Horsham to Brighton, held a meeting in the village at 7pm. Two months later May and Gladys again triumphed at the Women’s Agricultural and Horticultural International Union Show, winning first prize for their ‘striking collection of herbaceous plants’ and were named among the ‘chief prize-takers who showed that lady gardeners are able to hold their own against male competitors’. May and Gladys left Henfield during the War, Gladys to take up ambulance work at the Front until her marriage in 1917.Sources: Kent and Sussex Courier, Votes for Women, Common Cause, Cheltenham Examiner 17 July 1913, Westminster Gazette 11 July 1913, The National Archives.

Her father was a country squire and a friend of author Lewis Carroll. Her mother’s family had included William Harvey, the seventeenth-century physician famous for describing the circulation of the blood. Ethel was educated at Norwich High School and Newnham Cambridge, although she did not take a degree as women were not then permitted. She eventually took an MB in 1891, achieved an MD in 1895 at the London School of Medicine for Women, and returned to Cambridge securing a diploma in Public Health in 1899. She spent some time working in London at Clapham Maternity Hospital as a Medical Officer and at a dispensary for women and children in Blackfriars. She returned to Newcastle in 1906 as the city’s first woman doctor forming a joint practice with Ethel Bentham. That year, she was also the first woman to drive a car in Newcastle which would come in handy during her suffrage campaigning (see image). Like most women doctors of her generation, Ethel was concerned with the health needs of women and children and provided milk for infants at her own expense to try and reduce Newcastle’s appalling infant mortality rate. In 1909, she was appointed to the senate of Durham University and later became a member of the Newcastle Education Committee and Justice of the Peace. In 1917, Ethel co-founded the Northern Women’s Hospital (now the Nuffield Health Clinic on Osborne Road) and helped initiate residential care for boys with learning disabilities. She was also one of the earliest members of the Medical Women’s Federation founded in 1917 to further the interests of women doctors and patients. Ethel had a long association with campaign for female suffrage, signing the Declaration in Favour of Women’s Suffrage in 1889 and later became president to the Newcastle and District Women’s Suffrage Society (NUWSS). She took part in the NUWSS ‘mud march’ in 1907 and was also involved in suffrage processions and marches in Newcastle. The suffragist marching banner she may have carried in 1907 (see images) and possible on other marches is part of Newcastle University Library’s Special Collections and has been restored by the People's History Museum, Manchester. Despite belonging to the law abiding NUWSS, Ethel illegally evaded the government census survey in 1911 being deliberately absent from her address at 3 Osborne Terrace which she shared with (see) Frances Hardcastle, her lifelong companion. In the end, the census return (see image) was signed on her behalf in her absence by Helen Moss a locum doctor. Also present was Clementina Gordon, an organizing secretary for the NUWSS. This form of passive resistance suited Ethel and she also became a tax resistor. She began withholding her taxes while the highly anticipated Conciliation Bill was undergoing final readings in parliament. The bill, originated by a group of cross-party MPs, promised the vote to some women householders. When the bill was torpedoed by Asquith in 1912, Ethel refused to pay the taxes. In June 1913, she was one of 100 NUWSS members who left Newcastle, banners aloft, to join the great and arduous NUWSS Pilgrimage down to London. By 1915, she was chair of the North Eastern Federation of the NUWSS. When war broke out in 1914, Ethel severed her ties with the Liberal Party for their inaction on female suffrage and became more closely aligned with the programme of the Labour Party – though it is unlikely she joined it. She did join the Union of Democratic Control which campaigned for greater accountability in the making of British foreign policy and was secretary of the Newcastle Workers and Soldiers Council modeled on the Russian ‘soviets’ established after the overthrow of Tsar Nicholas II, and in which Special Branch took a keen interest, preventing many meetings from taking place. Ethel was also a founding member of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (she was secretary of the Newcastle branch in 1934). In 1924 Ethel retired from medicine but remained actively involved in the peace movement.

Her great grandfather was astronomer Sir William Herschel and her aunt Constance Herschel lectured in natural science and mathematics and was one of the earliest female lecturers at Girton College, Cambridge. Frances also studied mathematics at Girton and became one of the founding members of the American Mathematical Society in 1894 while studying at Bryn Mawr college in the US to obtain a degree given many British institutions would not allow women to sit for exams. More is known about Frances’ mathematical achievements (for more on this see sources below) than her suffrage work, which can be traced back to her time at Girton where she spoke to the oratorial society on its aims and history in relation to the Women’s Suffrage Movement and the Higher Education of Women. She was also a member of the CWSA (Cambridge Association for Women’s Suffrage). Later, Frances became Honorary Secretary of the NUWSS and signed a letter written to The Times in 1908, stating her disagreement with suffragettes’ militant methods. She later became active in the suffrage movement in the Newcastle area through her lifetime companion (see) Dr. Ethel Williams, with whom she shared a home. Interestingly, Frances is absent from the 1911 census return for 3 Osborne Terrace as is Ethel who was evading the census in protest at her exclusion from the franchise despite the census boycott’s illegality. It is probable that Frances was evading with her.

The family was musical and literary: Dorothy’s father had founded the Trinity College of Music; her mother, Madeline, was a much-published author. By 1905 Dorothy’s pianist sister Ethel, her elder by 10 years, was teaching music in India. Dorothy herself performed at local events as a soprano and violinist. In 1909 Dorothy organised a WSPU meeting held on 1 June in the Parish Hall. This was addressed by ‘polished platform speaker’ Helen Ogston who had begun work a few months earlier as the first WSPU paid organiser in Brighton after achieving notoriety in December 1908 for wielding a dog whip against stewards who tried to eject her from the Albert Hall for interrupting a speech to Women Liberals by Lloyd George. A report in Votes for Women of the Burgess Hill meeting claimed that copies of this paper were sold out. Three months later the Mid Sussex Times reported that Helen Ogston, having ‘made out so good a case for votes for women in such a brilliant speech’, had been invited to return to Burgess Hill, and delivered ‘another fine exposition of the subject’. This second meeting was chaired by Revd Baldwin Pinney, senior curate at St John’s. By August 1910, however, Dorothy had allied herself to the non-militants, and a Central Sussex Women’s Suffrage Society garden party hosted by Mrs Carey of Lea Copse, Burgess Hill, concluded with a display of Morris dancing by schoolgirls under Dorothy’s direction. In July 1913, when the Brighton Road contingent of the Great Suffrage Pilgrimage stopped for a meeting under the Reformers Tree in the centre of Burgess Hill, Mrs Bonavia Hunt was ’one of the numerous prominent Burgess Hillians present’. Dorothy ‘was among the cyclists who bore the suffragist colours’ and was also named in the report of the Pilgrims setting off from Cuckfield the next morning. By September 1913 Dorothy had become secretary of a new Burgess Hill branch of the Central Sussex Women’s Suffrage Society and had also joined the Mid Sussex branch of the Church League for Women’s Suffrage. In February 1914, she and her father attended a large meeting in the St John’s Institute addressed by ‘one of the foremost women speakers in the country’, Maude Royden, editor of Common Cause and a leading figure in the Church League for Women’s Suffrage. The annual report delivered at the Central Sussex Women’s Suffrage Society AGM in Cuckfield’s Queen’s Hall, in July 1914, where the guest speaker was Millicent Garrett Fawcett, made special mention of the first year’s activity of the Burgess Hill branch ‘under the able leadership of Miss Bonavia Hunt’. Dorothy is known now as the author of Pemberley Shades, a sequel to Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, first published in 1949 while she was living with one of her two brothers, a vicar in Bedfordshire.

The couple’s own home was Knightscroft, Rustington, near Littlehampton, close to the home of Agnes and Rhoda Garrett, sister, and cousin respectively of Millicent Garrett Fawcett. In December 1909, Maud chaired a Gloucester Women’s Suffrage Society meeting; speakers included her husband, Millicent Garrett Fawcett, and Alys Russell. In 1910 she became President of the new Littlehampton Women’s Suffrage Society, and, in 1911, of the Brighton and Hove Women’s Franchise Society (BHWFS). In 1911, Maud chaired two meetings in support of the Conciliation Bill then before Parliament: in May at St James Hall, Worthing, where speakers included Lady Betty Balfour, Marie Corbett, and Israel Zangwill, and in September at Rustington House. In February 1912, the Parrys were ‘among the distinguished men and women’ on the platform at the Albert Hall mass meeting addressed by Millicent Garrett Fawcett and Lloyd George. Tiny by comparison but described as ‘breaking new ground’ was the meeting Maud chaired at Arundel in June, addressed by Alys Russell, Sir Harry Johnston of nearby Poling, and Cicely Corbett. Maud was on the platform at a BHWFS demonstration in November 1912 attended by representatives of the 49 branches of the Surrey, Sussex, and Hampshire Federation, and from the National Union of Women Workers, the Trades Council, the Women’s Local Government Association, the Independent Labour Party, and the British Women’s Temperance Association. In 1912, she was among over 400 signatories of a letter to the Press, MPs, and the committee representing the West End businesses vandalised by militant suffragettes, deploring such lawless action, but urging the committee to pursue the redressing of the militants’ grievances rather than demand punitive legislation. Meanwhile, her husband joined GB Shaw, George Lansbury, Lord Lytton, Granville-Barker, Sir Arthur Pinero, Israel Zangwill, and other well-known men, in contributing to the Pall Mall Magazine their arguments in favour of women’s suffrage. On 19 July 1913 Maud led the Littlehampton contingent of Suffrage Pilgrims from Littlehampton Station to Rustington. Here they were joined by Sir Hubert Parry, before ‘entraining’ to Brighton where the Parrys were to head the procession of over 100 Pilgrims northwards on the Monday morning. In October 1913 Maud, Alys Russell and Florence de Fonblanque, participated in meetings held during a Suffrage march from Cosham to a Church Congress in Southampton. In November, these three women spoke at a meeting in Littlehampton chaired by Sir Harry Johnston. In February 1914 Maud was on the platform at a Lewes Women’s Suffrage Society meeting; in April she spoke at a BHWFS meeting; and in June she chaired a suffrage meeting hosted by Miss Holland at 1a Holland Walk, South Kensington. At the outbreak of War, the Parrys, helped by Alys Russell, held a meeting at Knightscroft to discuss how women could help the war effort. Towards the end of the War, Sir Hubert Parry’s setting of William Blake’s Jerusalem was to become the celebratory ‘voters’ hymn’.

She attended Preston High School for Girls before becoming a pupil at Penrhos College in North Wales. Following the completion of her education Edith returned home and married Dr Charles Rigby and set up home in Winckley Square. She was a women's rights campaigner, who, despite being middle class, fought for better working conditions on behalf of the working women in the mills and factories in her hometown of Preston. She even set up an evening school for the young women of the mills so they would have a place to learn how to read, write, dance, and have fun. It was a natural step for Edith to make when she joined the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU) after attending a meeting at the home of Emmeline Pankhurst in Manchester. She was an active campaigner and took part in many rallies in Westminster and back home in the north. She threw a black pudding at one MP whilst he was giving a speech in Manchester and tried to disrupt a meeting involving Winston Churchill at the Public Hall in Preston. She also detonated a small explosive device at the Cotton Exchange in Liverpool and burned down the bungalow of Lord Lever at Rivington, Lancashire. She evaded the 1911 census by joining others at a house party in Manchester (probably Dennison House – see Jessie Stephenson). She was imprisoned on several occasions and was force fed and then released under the Cat and Mouse Act, evading recapture by fleeing to Ireland. When the WSPU disbanded at the start of the First World War, Edith decided to form a Preston branch of the IWSPU (Independent) and it was decided they would campaign peacefully whilst helping with the war effort. Edith grew fruit and vegetables at her home and sold them cheaply at market, barely covering her costs. She formed the first Women’s Institute branch in Lancashire and often contributed to local good causes. Following the death of her husband in 1926 she relocated to North Wales with her younger sister where she died in 1950 aged 77.

Isabel started donating to the WSPU in 1908 and remained a regular subscriber until 1913. Perhaps the best indicator of her dedication to 'the Cause' was demonstrated in March 1913 when she sold a bracelet and donated the sale proceeds to the WSPU. Isabel was born on 22nd of August 1885 in Garston, Liverpool, to Thomas Fell Abraham and his first wife Margaret. By 1891 the Abraham family had moved to Birkenhead, residing at 53 Bidston Road, Oxton (point on the map is approximated due to redevelopment). Interestingly, Isabel and her family are descendants of Quaker founder Margaret Fell. In 1904, Isabel secured a place to study History at Liverpool University. While there, she was elected Joint President of the Student Guild. In addition to her Student Guild responsibilities, she was President of the Women's Christian Union and Chair of the Women's Debating Society. The 1911 census return for 53 Bidston Road does not list Isabel as a resident. Her absence was likely a deliberate act of evasion on Isabel's behalf as part of the suffragette boycott of the census. Isabel's teaching records state that she was working as a teacher at County High School for Girls, Wellington in 1911, but there is no trace of her on the census there either. Perhaps Isabel attended the Census Boycott party hosted by local Liverpool suffragette Dr. Alice Ker. In her diaries, Dr. Ker recorded a ‘Miss Abraham’ leaving her home the next day around 5.30. However, Dr. Ker may have been referring to another local suffragette called Dorothy Abraham, so this is unclear. Either way, we know Isabel spent some time back in Birkenhead that year because she sent a Christmas Greetings Note on WSPU headed paper from the family home in Bidston Road. In 1915, Isabel married William Ross McGregor, a civil engineer from London. Shortly after getting married, Isabel and William relocated to Nairobi where Isabel continued her suffrage campaigning founding the East Africa Women's League in 1917. By the early 1920s, Isabel was living with her husband and two sons at Swarthmoor Hall, Cumbria (the ancestral home of Margaret Fell). In 1933, Isabel was appointed Vice-Chair of the British branch of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom. Later in life, she wrote a biography of Margaret Fell called ‘Margaret Fell: Mother of Quakerism’. This book is still in circulation and is considered a key Quaker history text.

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.
