The couple’s Sussex home was Chapelwood Manor, Nutley, but at the time of the 1911 Census they were on holiday in France. Sybil hosted and chaired suffrage meetings at her London residence, 24 Park Lane, and in Sussex. In November 1910 Millicent Garrett Fawcett addressed a reception at 24 Park Lane; in March 1911 Sybil chaired a meeting at Horsted Keynes in the company of Lady Betty Balfour, Louisa Martindale, Flora de Gaudrion Merrifield, Marie and Cicely Corbett, Mary Benson, Mary Spooner, and Edith Bevan. In May 1911 Sybil, as President of the Bexhill, Hastings, and St Leonard’s Women’s Suffrage Society, presided over a Crowborough meeting at which a message of support from her husband was read. The meeting resulted in the formation of a NUWSS branch, with Sybil as President. When, shortly afterwards, at a meeting chaired by Sybil in Hastings, Lord Brassey declared in person his ‘conversion to feminism’, this was reported nationally. In July 1911 Lord Brassey became an Earl and, as Countess Brassey, Sybil attended the first meeting of the Rotherfield and Mark Cross NUWSS branch. In October she chaired three lectures on women’s suffrage: in Uckfield by Liberal academic Walter Lyon Blease; in Burgess Hill by Lord Robert Cecil; and in Crowborough by Elizabeth Robins. In November Sybil presided at the New Constitutional Society for Women’s Suffrage in Hythe and a rally in Hastings was addressed by the Brasseys, Millicent Garrett Fawcett and Earl Lytton. Meetings chaired in 1912 began with Lord Robert Cecil at Forest Row, then included Tunbridge Wells, Rochester, Uckfield, and Deal. In October Sybil hosted a reception at 24 Park Lane for Men’s International Alliance for Women’s Suffrage delegates to a MLWS conference. In March 1913 she attended with Muriel the National Political League demonstration against force feeding. Neither she nor Muriel were able to attend the Hastings, St Leonard’s, and East Sussex rally in October at which Earl Brassey declared that he ‘loved the cause’, but in December Sybil formally opened the Women’s Franchise Club in Brighton. Sybil’s involvement in both London and county suffrage activity was exemplified by two important engagements in July 1914. On 6 July she hosted a reception at 24 Park Lane, under the auspices of the WTRL, for International Week guests of the Women’s Suffrage Union, British Dominions Overseas. Later that month she was on the platform in Cuckfield’s Queen’s Hall, supporting chair Lady Eleanor Cecil, at the 5th annual meeting of the Cuckfield and Central Sussex Women’s Suffrage Society addressed by Millicent Garrett Fawcett. During the War Sybil chaired fund-raising meetings in London and Sussex for the NUWSS Scottish Women’s Hospitals. Wounded officers who convalesced at Chapelwood Manor included war poet Siegfried Sassoon. In June 1918 Sybil presided over a meeting of the newly inaugurated Hastings and St Leonards Women Citizens Association addressed by Ray Strachey on ‘The Vote: Women’s New Responsibilities’.

He married Elizabeth Aston in 1882, and they went on to have six children – Lily Elizabeth, William Bradfield (born 1888), Beatrice Alice (born 1889), Dorothy Florence (born 1895), and two children who died. In 1911, the family were living at 67 Owen Road, Wolverhampton. Thomas was a foreman at a Varnish and Colours Manufacturer (presumably Mander Brothers Ltd). With the exception of Lily, the remaining members of the family, both men and women, became members of the Wolverhampton branch of the National Union of Women’s Suffrage Societies. Thomas died on 14 March 1948, by which date their address was Caraston, 122 Bruford Road, Wolverhampton, and the value of his effects was £739 16 s. 4d.

She received a small allowance from her father, a timber merchant, but was required to make her own living. Little is known about her education, but she was an accomplished singer and violinist and set her mind to a career on stage. She decided to pursue life as an actor and singer and quickly made her name as ‘Jack’ Holme performing a popular cross-dressing music hall act (see images). At some point in 1908, Vera joined the suffrage movement, as part of the Actresses Franchise League (open to anyone involved with the theatrical profession) and the WSPU and was renowned for her feisty, irrepressible spirit. She was once described by Sylvia Pankhurst as ‘a noisy explosive young person, frequently rebuked by her elders for lack of dignity’. Little wonder then that later in the campaign, her fiery personality led her to join the Young Hot Bloods; a secretive society within the WSPU made up of younger members (aged under 30) who were fully prepared to undertake 'danger duty' for the WSPU and the cause. Vera took part in a variety of suffrage activities. In June 1909 on horseback, she presented the Prime Minister with a letter announcing the imminent arrival of a WSPU deputation. By August, she was chauffeur to WSPU’s leading figures Emmeline Pankhurst and Emmeline Pethick-Lawrence and wore a WSPU-coloured uniform and peaked cap. Vera was especially proud of an ‘act’ she carried out with (see) Elsie Howey in Bristol. There, the two hid inside a musical organ in Calston Hall ready for a meeting chaired by Liberal minister Augustine Birrell on Land Tax. During the meeting Vera and Elsie repeatedly shouted out 'Votes for women!' and it took bemused officials several minutes to discover the women’s hiding place. In 1911, Vera likely evaded the 1911 census as she does not appear in the record. She was sent to prison for five days for throwing stones in November that year following the government’s torpedoing of the Conciliation bill, at which time she was temporarily staying in London’s Buckingham-Gate, probably at number 24 with Mrs Adeline Cecil Chapman, suffrage supporter and mother to suffragette Mildred Mansel with whom Vera was friends. However, Vera had by then met and fell in love with fellow suffragette (see) the Honourable Evelina Haverfield who had purchased ‘Peace Cottage’ in Devon in 1910 where the couple are located on our map. Although they led peripatetic lives - like many suffragettes dwelling briefly in various places across the country - Peace Cottage remained a constant in their lives together until Evelina’s death in 1920. No letters survive, but glimpses of the couple’s romantic relationship can be found in a surviving acrostic poem written to Evelina by Vera (see image) and in Vera’s gift of a bed they slept in at Peace Cottage with their initials EH and VH carved on alternate sides. When War broke out in 1914, Vera joined the Women's Volunteer Reserve and served in the Transport Unit of the Scottish Women's Hospital (SWH). She oversaw horses and trucks and was said to be an excellent mechanic and Evelina worked with her as an SWH administrator and overseer of the transport unit. As a couple they became deeply concerned with the plight of the Serbian people during their war work. Vera became administrator of a fund and home Evelina had founded for Serbian soldiers and orphans upon her death in 1920 as well as receiving £50 a year for life in Evelina's will. Later, Vera lived in Scotland sharing a home with artists (see images) Dorothy Johnstone and Anne Finlay where she also rekindled her love of the theatre. She put on local plays in Scotland and at the Barn Theatre in Smallhythe, Kent, overseen by former suffrage campaigner, friend, playwright and performer, Edith Craig. Vera died in 1969.

The newspapers and periodicals to which she contributed included the WSPU’s Votes for Women. She was elected to the London School Board in 1897. An active social worker, Honnor had Oakdene designed and built for use as a holiday home for disabled London children. Like (see) Maud Roll, Honnor seems to have supported the WSPU, then joined the Women’s Tax Resistance League (WTRL). In 1911, she too appears to have taken part in the WSPU boycott of the Census in protest at women’s exclusion from the franchise. Honnor supported Maud Roll’s first public act of tax resistance in 1912, as reported in the local papers - the Kent and Sussex Courier and the Crowborough Weekly. In 1913, the supportive Daily Herald carried a notice of another public auction and protest meeting to be held at Mark Cross on 24th of May. According to the Kent and Sussex Courier, Honnor and Maud had again refused to pay their taxes and had yielded to the police a silver salver and a gold ring for public auction. The Daily Herald described these items being sold from a wagonette on the village street attended by a crowd of more than 150 people. Immediately after this second distraint sale, the usual protest meeting was held by the WTRL at which Maud Roll presided. However, Honnor was absent from this meeting because of illness. Obituaries in the Times, the Kent and Sussex Courier and Votes for Women (see images) paid tribute to the indomitable enthusiasm with which, while her health and strength lasted, Honnor advocated and fought for the causes in which she believed in the face of all opposition.

Violet was the eldest, born to the same father as Irene, name army officer George Tillard, but to his first wife, Louisa. Violet was a nurse and had trained at the Poplar and Great Ormond Street hospitals. She had already been involved in the suffrage movement at least a year before the WFL tour van arrived in her home town in 1908. Muriel Matters and Charlotte Despard were on board and their first stop on the Kent tour was Southborough, near Tunbridge Wells. Sisters Violet and Irene Tillard ran out to greet the van and then joined the tour. Violet and Muriel would remain lifelong friends, even boarding together in London in later years, and continued to campaign for women’s suffrage. Both were involved on 28 October 1908 in the large demonstration at the Palace of Westminster. Violet and Muriel together with Helen Fox and two male supporters went to the Houses of Parliament. Muriel and Helen chained themselves to a piece of ironwork known as ‘the grille’ in the Ladies’ Gallery that obscured their view of the parliamentary proceedings. Violet used string to attempt to lower a WFL proclamation ‘Women’s Freedom League demand votes for women’ to the floor of Parliament, while the two male supporters showered those in the House of Commons with WFL leaflets. All were removed from the House of Commons. Violet and Muriel then joined their comrades protesting outside and were later arrested trying to break the police lines. Both served a month in Holloway Prison. By 1911, Violet was boarding with Muriel Matters and Margaret Jewson in Lambeth. On her census Violet wrote: “No Vote No Census. Should women become persons in the eye of the law this session - full information will be forwarded.” The whereabouts of her half sister Irene is currently being investigated. She was not with her parents in Westwood, Southborough and may have been 'evading'. For more information see, Jennifer Godfrey, Suffragettes of Kent, (Pen & Sword Ltd, 2019).
