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 Resists Biographical Text Rose (1875 - 1954), who was born in France and raised in Clapham, was educated at the Sorbonne and Royal Holloway. She later studied law to help her husband Tom who was a solicitor. In 1907, Rose became the first woman elected to the Cyclists’ Touring Club (CTC) which had 40,000 members. She also served as the only woman on the Roads Improvement Council. In 1909, Rose joined the Wimbledon branch of the WSPU becoming its militant leader and was jailed for the first time that year, charged with obstruction for protesting outside the House of Commons. Her son, Paul, was 8 months old at the time and she referred to him during her trial. She said that if Paul ever asked her what she had done during the women’s suffrage campaign, she would be embarrassed if she had to reply that she had not attempted to take the matter to the Prime Minister. Despite her husband, Tom, representing her in the trial, Rose was sentenced and served one month’s imprisonment in Holloway. Tom was a member of the Men’s Political Union a wing of the WSPU. Rose’s home, Dorset Hall, became a hub for the Votes for Women movement. She was a great and influential speaker hosting meetings of 20,000 on the local Wimbledon Common. Rose also undertook suffrage work in Kent where she and Tom had a holiday cottage in Whitstable-cum-Seasalter. In 1911, when the government census was taken, Rose and Tom were at their Kent cottage where Rose resisted the census, refusing to give information (see image) but giving a full account of her reasons for protesting the census. In 1912, at her home Dorset Hall, Rose was suspected of hiding Christabel Pankhurst when she was on her way to Paris having fled the Police. Rose refused to allow them to search her house. Emily Wilding Davison (see entry) was a friend and frequently stayed at Rose’s home, including the day before her fatal accident at Epsom Derby in 1913. Rose’s husband Tom represented the Davison family at the inquest, but it was Rose who organised her funeral procession of 100,000 strong. After Emily's death, Rose became ill and took some time to recover, though she remained active with the WSPU until 1915 when the leadership abandoned the suffrage cause to support the War. Rose returned to politics full-time in 1918, when she became a member of the LCC (London County Council) and was instrumental in setting up the Suffragette Fellowship. She never tired of fighting for the poor and under-privileged, leaving her garden at Dorset Hall to be used in perpetuity by the people of Merton. Rose’s home ‘Dorset Hall’ still survives but is under threat. To read more please see our News and Blogs page story ‘Defend Dorset Hall’ by campaigner Barbara Gorna.

Ruth and Theodora campaigned in the villages outlying their home in Cheltenham and experienced some rough treatment in so doing. Ruth, a frail woman, had to be rescued by a policeman when the 1913 NUWSS Pilgrimage met a stormy reception. Theodora was involved in deputations, letter-writing and dramatic and musical roles for suffrage social gatherings. She wrote the words to five songs which were included in the WSPU's 1907 Song Sheet and her words set to the tune of 'Onward Christian Soldiers' won an international competition. She took pride in the society's banners and presented one which she used in the June 1908 London demonstration, to what is now the Wilson Museum in the town. In a local test case of 1909, Ruth and Theodora with six others, claimed a parliamentary vote: this was largely a WFL initiative and, somewhat unusually in a time of greater differentiation between suffragists and suffragettes, both Mills ladies were still on the WFL committee before its local leader, Florence Earengey, decided to break ties with other societies. Their census resistance in 1911 was also unusual among local NUWSS members. Generally, NUWSS members as law abiding suffragists, complied with the census. Ruth Mills wrote across the form 'I did not pass the night of April 2nd, 1911 in this dwelling nor arrived during Monday morning. House being locked and left empty. and do not know how many if any persons did so.' Mother and daughter continued to live in the family house with Theodora often writing letters to the local press, either about the history of women's suffrage or about her vegetarian beliefs. Ruth Mills died in 1922 and Theodora in 1958. Researched and contributed by Sue Jones author of 'Votes for Women: Cheltenham and the Cotswolds' (The History Press, 2018).

In 1911, she was living with her uncle, William Smith, at 48 Gozzard Street, Bilston (now extensively redeveloped). She was working as a clerk in a file works. She may have married Edward Beech in Wolverhampton in 1920. It is not clear which suffrage society Sarah belonged to (if any formally) but as she complied with the 1911 census and seemed to be content to attend suffrage meetings, it seems probable she was connected to the local branch of the NUWSS, the Wolverhampton Women's Suffrage Society. Wolverhampton Archives and Local Studies has copies of a series of Votes for Women postcards, dating between October 1908 and January 1909, written by Sarah to Ethel Greensill and her brother, Mr G. Greensill, of 278 Bilston Road. In them (see images) she talks about attending suffrage meetings, and with Mr Greensill she discusses the Wolves scores.

She studied in London but took a qualification in Scotland as London did not award degrees to women. She moved to Nottingham and became the City’s first woman GP facing bitter opposition and hostility. In 1899 she was appointed to the Women’s Hospital and became assistant surgeon in charge of outpatients. Her male colleagues viewed her with mistrust and for a year insisted that a male colleague be present whenever she administered an anaesthetic. She applied to take charge of inpatients but was refused the position being told that her qualifications, despite being the highest open to women, were not high enough. Age 40, she took her FRCSI and in 1902 was appointed surgeon to Nottingham and Notts Convalescent home, medical examiner to the Board of Education, the Education Committee, and surgeon to the Girl’s evening Homes. Sarah was involved with the NUWSS and the National Union of Women Workers. On 1st June 1910, she presided over the NUWSS AGM at the Mikardo café. Her association with the law abiding NUWSS makes it unsurprising that Sarah complied with the 1911 census and did not take part in the boycott of it by some campaigners that year. In 1921-2 Sarah was elected the first president of Nottingham Medico-Chirurgical Society. She was a pioneer among medical women, and against the prevailing times was nonetheless finally recognised for her outstanding abilities.

Earlier in April, Sarah and her parents had been ‘absent’ from home when the government census survey was taken and so only their servants were recorded. Likely they were all evading as part of the wider census boycott encouraged by the WSPU. By 1913, Sarah was secretary of the Nottingham branch of the Friends’ League for Women’s Suffrage. The society aimed to secure the Parliamentary Franchise for women on the same basis as it is or may be granted to men.

After two years of training she became headteacher at Morton Infant school near Tibshelf. In 1894 she married Joseph Merrick and the couple lived in Walsall and Upper Broughton before moving to The Knoll on Beardall Street, Hucknall. Sarah was highly active in public life and supportive of women’s suffrage joining several demonstrations in London. In 1910, Helena Dowson held a meeting in Hucknall and by 1913 Sarah was running the Hucknall branch of NUWSS over a teashop in the High Street. In 1911, Sarah complied with the census appearing at home in Beardall Street, but does not give an occupation. Neither is the exact position of 'The Knoll' in Beardall Street clear and so its location on the map is approximate. Sarah was also secretary to the British Women’s Temperance Society and became the first woman Poor Law Guardian for Basford Board serving in the Labour Party's interests. Sarah fought strongly in this position for better conditions for the poor. She also stood as a Labour County Councillor but was not successful. It is also interesting to note that her husband was a prominent Liberal. Sarah was for many years associated with the Adult School movement being both president and secretary of the Hucknall Woman’s Branch for a time and Minutes Secretary for the County. She died aged 65 at Vernon Lodge Nursing home on Waverley Street in Nottingham, and is buried in Hucknall.

She remained there for the rest of her life until her death in 1944. As a dress maker, Sarah's wages would have been meagre so extra income from a lodger must have been welcome especially in 1911 when her husband injured himself and was unable to work. In fact, 1911 was something of an annus horribilis for Sarah. In April 1911, she was fined 2s 6d in court for non payment of a dog license which she made clear was solely due to a fall in trade which meant she was unable to afford one. The fine must have compounded the family's poverty. Earlier, in January 1911, she had appeared in court to support a summons she submitted against her husband for assault. She described how her husband kicked her in the side, picked up a chair and 'threatened to bash her head in with it'. He counter claimed that the argument started because she was trying to put him in the Workhouse due to his injury and inability to work, and now she was trying to put him in prison. Ultimately, he was bound over for 6 months and was ordered to pay all costs. The stress of poverty on their marriage and family is evident in these two court appearances. There are few contemporary accounts of Sarah's votes for women activity. However, she is described in a 1930's newspaper report as having been a 'suffragette' but was in fact a 'suffragist' belonging to the Coventry branch of the law abiding NUWSS - the Coventry Women's Suffrage Society. In the newspaper interview, Sarah eschews suffragette militancy saying - 'People get resentful of a movement that only causes trouble. Nothing ever came of violence'. Nevertheless, she recalls that one of her most exciting moments as a suffrage campaigner came at a mass meeting in nearby Warwick, where she arrived late and was mistaken for the WSPU suffragette leader, Mrs Emmeline Pankhurst! Sarah claimed to have been greeted with both enthusiastic cheering and jeering from the crowd in equal measure. Sarah and her husband did not see eye to eye over the suffrage campaign either. She recalled that her husband was opposed to 'Votes for Women' but she was resolute, stating: 'it made no difference to me. It is only right that women should have the vote'. Asked if she would do it all again, Sarah replied with an emphatic - 'I would'. Cromwell Street where Sarah lived has been partially demolished, redeveloped and renumbered so identifying whether Sarah's house still survives is problematic. Contributor/Researcher: Tara Morton.

In 1896 she married Robert Cooper, a cotton weaver. Their son, John Ruskin, died as a baby; their daughter Mary was born in 1900; and the family moved into 59 St Mary’s Street, Nelson ~ where all three lived for the rest of their lives. Nelson was a hotbed of socialism, and the Coopers were drawn into the Independent Labour Party (ILP). Selina gained public speaking experience through the Women’s Cooperative Guild, and soon was collecting women cotton workers’ signatures on a suffrage petition ~ and in 1901 she accompanied the 29,359-signature petition down to Westminster. Selina was elected a Poor Law Guardian; in 1903 helped launch the Lancashire Women Textile Workers’ Representation Committee; and in 1906 organized the Nelson Suffrage Society which met in the Coopers’ small front room. By 1911, Selina Cooper had been employed as a NUWSS organizer for five years; an excellent public speaker, she travelled round the country, supporting pro-suffrage candidates ~ like young Bertrand Russell. In June 1911, she organized the local suffragist group, now called the Clitheroe Women’s Suffrage Society, on a special train down to London for the Coronation Procession (see image, taken on Nelson Station). Then, given the betrayal by Asquith’s Liberal Government, the NUWSS made an election alliance with the Labour Party; and from 1912, Selina Cooper was heavily in demand as a speaker, travelling the country to support Labour candidates at by-elections. From 1914, Selina Cooper, like others in the ILP, opposed the war and supported conscientious objectors. In 1924 she was appointed a JP; and in 1934 she joined a small deputation to Nazi Germany to visit four women prisoners. Selina Cooper died aged 81, and many years later, her house at 59 St Mary’s Street was commemorated with a blue plaque. For more see, Liddington & Norris, One Hand Tied Behind Us, 1978 & 2000.

Born in London in 1833, Selina spent most of her life in Rochdale, Lancashire, where she married her husband Samuel Bright. Samuel was the business partner and brother of John Bright (industrial cotton manufacturer as well as a Manchester and later Birmingham MP) and of Jacob Bright, a radical Liberal M.P. who helped formulate the first organised women's suffrage petition handed to parliament in 1866 by John Stuart Mill, M.P. The couple had three children all of whom sadly died in infancy. Marrying into the Bright family put Selina at the heart of social and political reform politics of the day. In 1878, she attended a meeting of the Central Committee for the National Society for Women's Suffrage and was likey a member of this early suffrage society. Others in attendance included Millicent Fawcett future leader of the large and law abiding National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS) which had yet to form in 1897. The Bright's had ties to Coventry and likely settled in the city in the 1860s where Selina stayed after her husband's untimely death in 1873 although she travelled frequently. Selina became vice-president of the Coventry and District Women's Liberal Association and later president of the Coventry Women's Suffrage Society (CWSS) which officially formed in 1910 as the local branch of the NUWSS. In 1911, we find her living in Warwick Row with two servants. As a law abiding suffragist, she did not take part in the suffragette boycott of the 1911 government census but instead complied. Selina worked tirelessley for the CWSS until ill health began to effect her role as president forcing her to miss numerous meetings. She subsequently died at her Coventry home in October 1917 aged 86, a year before the Representation of the People Act was passed which gave some qualified women over 30 the vote. Annette Iliffe (see) took over her role as President of the CWSS. Selina was known for her good works in Coventry and in her will left funds to many local charities including the Coventry Warwickshire Hospital Convalescent Fund, Coventry and District Nursing Institution and St Faith's Friendless Girls Institution. Selina is buried with her husband Samuel in Lancashire Cemetery alongside their three children. Researcher: Tara Morton. Coventry research funded by Warwick University.
