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 Complies Biographical Text Patricia was born in 1875 and was a founding member of the Liverpool WSPU. She was also an active member of Liverpool's Independent Labour Party and sought to bring socialist support to the suffragette cause (see images). In 1906, she joined a deputation of Lancashire women to parliament and was arrested in Parliament Square. She was subsequently imprisoned for 14 days in London's Holloway prison. By 1909, she had become a WSPU organizer in Liverpool and was also imprisoned that year for 3 months in Holloway for being a 'persistent offender' and later with other suffragettes, in Winson Green prison, for harassing Prime Minister Herbert Asquith at Birmingham's Bingley Hall. Patricia went on hunger strike, but began to eat again when threatened with the brutal practice of forcible feeding carried out by prison warders. Patricia was arrested on several occasions during the campaign. Described as a brilliant speaker, in 1910 she addressed the crowds at the WSPU's Hyde Park demonstration. Like numerous suffragettes, she was also arrested but released without charge on 'Black Friday' in November that year - so called because of the police brutality meted out to suffragette protesters. In April 1911 when the census survey took place, and despite being an ardent member of the WSPU, Patricia's name is recorded at home with her family at their modest house in Nicander Road. Did she willingly comply - choosing not to take part in the suffragette boycott of the census? Did her father David fill in her details against her wishes as head of household? Her father was a socialist and very supportive of Patricia's suffragette activities, so this is most unlikely. Perhaps Patricia decided - as did some other suffragettes - that the potential value of the census survey for highlighting social reform issues, such as overcrowding or rates of infant mortality, outweighed the value of the boycott? This would fit with her socialist and Labour party credentials. Whatever her reasons, later that year in November, Patricia was arrested (alongside others) for taking part in window smashing and scuffles with police after trying to make what was described as a 'raid on the House of Commons'. Press reports described how 'there was scarcely a window that escaped attention' on the ground floor of the Treasury in Parliament Street (The Tewkesbury Register, 25 November, 1911). By 1912, her militant actions were tempered perhaps by the WSPU's wish to ensure that their best organizers remained free from prison to continue their propaganda and fund raising work.

He was educated at Oxford, became a socialist, and was instrumental in starting the first Fabian Society at the university. Ordained in 1897, he went to work in the deprived district of St. Philips, Newcastle, where he remained for just over four years. He was prominent during that time in the Great Engineers Strike in Tyneside. Also in 1897, he married Enid Stacy a well respected socialist and touring suffrage lecturer and the two supported each each other in their reform work. The couple had a son Gerard in 1902. The family then moved to Calderbrook near Rochdale where sadly, in 1903, Edith died suddenly whilst working for the socialist cause in Littleborough near Rochdale - presumably of a heart attack - aged just 44 years old. Subsequently, Percy relocated to Halton near Lancaster where he spent three years as curate. He was well respected there by the working class community for his efforts to improve their lives and represent their interests, and started a fellowship in the village promoting the socialist and Christian message that spread into Lancaster. Always outspoken, Percy openly challenged the distinction between church and politics and was described as a socialist of deep rooted conviction as well as a man of personal charm and eloquence. He made a significant public impact when he moved to Coventry in 1906, having been appointed to the city's St Peter's Church. Percy quickly became a prominent figure in Coventry's women's suffrage movement, regularly speaking at suffrage meetings as well as hosting them, and publicly championing all aspects of the cause including suffragette militancy. For instance, he held a special welcome reception for local suffragette (see) Alice Lea at St Peter's vicarage after her release from one month in Holloway prison in 1908. In defence of her actions he said of the WSPU: ‘it was a society of extremists who were going to get what they wanted and were going to use strong means to get what they wanted… there were and had been 'heaps' of ladylike societies … but until the WSPU came along the women’s movement did not count in English political life’. He then roundly encouraged other Coventry women to follow Alice's example. Men could not formally join the WSPU but because of Percy's consistent support for it and facilitation of its members and meetings, we have denoted him as a WSPU campaigner. In April 1911, the census records Percy at St. Peter's vicarage with his son and a visitor Joseph Clayton. Clayton was an author, journalist and Christian socialist, whose wife was a member of the 'suffragette' society the Women's Freedom League (WFL). Clayton had been arrested for the cause in 1909 when taking part in a deputation to see the Prime Minister over the question of women's suffrage. In August 1911, Percy married his second wife and joint secretary of the WSPU Coventry branch, Miss Helen Dawson in Cornwall. The tabloid headlines read 'Socialist Vicar weds suffragette'!. Helen was originally from Calderbrook where Percy had previously worked, so it's likely the two met prior to his moving to Coventry. At the end of the War in 1918 of which Percy was openly critical, he relocated to Chelmsford, St Peter's church being taken over by his brother in law from his first marriage to Edith, the Rev. Paul Stacy. Percy was less in the public eye in later years and died in Lichfield in 1959. Researcher: Tara Morton. Coventry research funded by Warwick University.

Always known as Ray, she was brought up largely by her grandmother, after her mother left for Italy, and her father died when she was 12 years old. Ray’s education was disrupted by frequent school moves, and her own lack of application, but she nonetheless studied Mathematics at Newnham College, Cambridge, gaining an Honours Pass. At school and university, Ray was close friends with Ellie Rendel, one of the granddaughters of Lady Jane Strachey, a leading suffragist. Suffrage became the cause that Ray was looking for in her life and she and Ellie devoted much of their time at Newnham to meetings and campaigns. Both marched on the NUWSS ‘Mud March’ in February 1907 and gained speaking and organizing practice holding small meetings during their summer holidays. In July 1908, the two women organized a Newnham Caravan under the aegis of the NUWSS, taking the suffrage message to rural areas in the North. When Ray’s mother took her on a ‘finishing’ trip to the US, she was disconcerted to find that Ellie Rendel joined them, and that Ray and Ellie were soon travelling around the Northern States with Anna Shaw, the President of the North American Women’s Suffrage Society. Ray took much of 1909 “off” to concentrate on her writing, but she was back in the thick of the suffrage campaign during the 1910 election, promoting suffrage petitions and supporting suffragist candidates in the East End of London. She travelled to the US in the spring of 1910, combining research with campaigning, before returning to study electrical engineering at Oxford. Through Easter 1911 and for a time, she lived with her aunt, Alys Russell (married to Bertrand Russell), at Vann Bridge Cottage (now Vann Bridge Close) in Fernhurst, and it is there that Ray appears in the 1911 census – listed as an engineering student. Alys was a suffragist herself and one hopes she took great satisfaction in the singularity of Ray’s occupation! Later in 1911, Ray married Oliver Strachey, with whom she had two children, as well as a step- daughter. Despite her domestic burdens – which included managing much of Oliver’s life and their precarious joint finances - Ray carried out a huge amount of campaigning work for women’s rights – from suffrage, to employment opportunities, to equal pay. She wrote, spoke, and broadcast prodigiously; worked for Nancy Astor MP, and headed up the Women’s Employment Federation from 1933 through to her early death in 1940. Ray Strachey is best known for her history of the women’s movement (‘The Cause’, 1928), but her ‘immense activity’ (according to Virginia Woolf) ranged much more broadly than that, encompassing three Parliamentary campaigns and the physical construction of two small ‘rammed earth’ cottages in the hills around Fernhurst, where she found peace from the incessant demands of children and committee work. Her contribution to the Women’s movement fully justifies Jennifer Holmes comment that “women of today owe her a great debt” - if only for Ray’s insistence that women could find ‘a source of happiness of great value’ in their work outside the home.

Redirecting his energies elsewhere, he became a well-known plant scientist who bred disease-resistant potatoes. Redcliffe and his wife ‘Nina’ (née Pauline Ruth Davis, 1877-1925) were advocates of women’s rights. In 1909, the NUWSS newspaper Common Cause reported that Redcliffe spoke in favour of women’s suffrage alongside Mrs E O Fordham at a meeting in Hertfordshire. The following year, Redcliffe and his wife hosted an event for Liberal Party supporters at their home in Barley, Hertfordshire. As the couple lived in a large country house, the grounds provided a perfect location for the event which was attended by more than 450 people. Redcliffe was among the speakers along with the Hon. Mrs Fordham who touched on the case for women’s suffrage. The Salamans were close friends of the suffrage sympathisers, Israel and Edith Zangwill, who campaigned with the MLWS and WSPU. While the Zangwills appear to have evaded the 1911 census, the Salamans complied with it. Redcliffe was described on the census as a retired doctor engaging in scientific research, while Nina, who was a poet and respected Hebrew scholar, was listed as an authoress. Five of their six children were also named along with several servants. In 1912, Redcliffe and Nina were among the founding vice-presidents of a new organisation, the Jewish League for Woman Suffrage (JLWS), which the Zangwills also supported. Welcoming the arrival of the JLWS, the WSPU paper The Suffragette, noted that the JLWS would work along similar lines to church suffrage leagues by emphasising the need for women’s emancipation to improve women’s status and to combat social evils. The JLWS also aimed to “encourage the participation of the Synagogue in social movements of the day.” Although Nina was active in the JLWS along with her sisters-in-law, she is said to have been less politically engaged than her husband and to have opposed the militant tactics of the suffragettes. Nevertheless, she was ground-breaking in her own way. As well as publishing her religious writing and being dedicated to improving girls’ education, she became the first woman to preach in an Orthodox synagogue in Britain in 1919. With the arrival of the First World War, Redcliffe joined the Royal Army Medical Core and served in the Middle East while Nina encouraged people to donate comforts to Jewish soldiers. Redcliffe and Nina became increasingly involved in Zionism, a cause which Redcliffe continued to support after Nina’s untimely death in 1925. The following year, Redcliffe married Gertrude Lowy (1887-1982) who had been a militant suffrage campaigner in her twenties. During the Second World War, Redcliffe acted as Chairman of the Jewish Committee for Relief Abroad which assisted Jewish people who had been imprisoned in Nazi concentration camps.

An engineer and Major on the staff of the Warwickshire Yeomanry, he is pictured below with fellow women's suffrage supporter and Warwickshire Yeomanry staff, The Rev, Leonard Goodenough. The CUWFA formed in 1908 to work peacefully and constitutionally for ‘the removal of the sex disqualification from the franchise’ by bringing Conservative and Unionist’s together. As a number of 'Miss Airth Richardson's' are also present at some local CUWFA meetings, it is likely that one or more of Robert's four daughters were also active for the campaign.

Lord Robert Cecil took part in CWFA meetings in London and the Home Counties, and in 1911 and early 1912 spoke across Sussex - at Horsted Keynes, at the Horsham Suffrage Society’s first AGM, at a Central Sussex Women’s Suffrage Society public meeting in Burgess Hill, and at Forest Row - to promote the Conciliation Bill. This would only give the vote to single women householders, who had been able to vote in local elections since1869, but Lord Robert Cecil argued that the principle of votes for women could later be extended. He was against women MPS: they would be physically unable to endure the ‘exhausting exertions’ in the House of Commons! When the Conciliation Bill was rejected by the House of Commons in March 1912, Lord Robert Cecil sympathised with women’s anger, and expressed vehement objections to harsh prison sentences and forced feeding. He continued, however, to advise the avoidance of militancy and to advocate a ‘moderate and conservative admission of women to the franchise’. In March 1913, the East Grinstead branch of the MLWS was founded, with Lord Robert Cecil and Charles Corbett among its members. In 1916 and 1917, in answer to deputations asking about provision for women’s suffrage in proposed electoral reform legislation, Lord Robert Cecil insisted that he would not assent to any substantial increase in the number of men voters unless this Bill included some measure of enfranchisement for women. Following the enfranchisement in February 1918 of women over 30 who were already local electors or the wives of local electors, Lord Robert Cecil introduced a Bill to make women eligible to stand for Parliament. Passed in November 1918, in time for the General Election the following month, this created the anomaly that women Parliamentary candidates need only be 21. When the Sex Disqualification (Removal) Bill, to enable women to enter such professions as the law, was debated in the House of Commons in 1919, Lord Robert Cecil argued that it should include equal voting rights with men, enfranchising all women over 21, but the Government refused to grant this. In 1922, therefore, Lord Robert Cecil introduced a Bill to extend the franchise to women on the same terms as men, but it would take until 1928 for this to be achieved. Meanwhile, in 1925, as the newly installed Rector of Aberdeen University, Lord Robert Cecil’s first official duty was, appropriately, to open the hall of the new University Women’s Union. He told his cheering audience that he had always been in favour of the enfranchisement of women: women should take their full share of citizenship, as electors for Parliament and as members of the House of Commons.

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 Evades Biographical Text Mrs Swiney was the mainstay of Cheltenham's NUWSS being President from its re-founding in 1896 throughout its existence. She appeared on the platforms of the local WSPU, to which she contributed money in its early years, and the WFL and was not opposed to law-breaking. This is evidenced by her census evasion in 1911 in protest at women not having the parliamentary vote. She was a respected speaker and campaigner, prepared to speak in outdoor venues and outlying villages as well as in the Town Hall for example. In 1913, she was assaulted while speaking to a crowd gathered for the arrival of the Pilgrimage in Cheltenham but, undeterred, she continued the next day to Cirencester where there was a similar attack and she had to take refuge in a nearby village. Before her marriage to Major General John Swiney, she was an aspiring painter. Four of her six children were born in India where she had also been born but the family settled in Cheltenham in the late 1870s. She was a supporter of the Eugenics Society, the Ethical movement and the Theosophical Society and was Vice-Chairman of the local Food and Health Reform Society.
