Suffrage Society The suffrage society this person was affiliated with at the time of the 1911 UK Census WFL Census This person's response to the 1911 UK Census Resists Biographical Text Alice was born in Cleveland in 1881, but went to live with her Aunt and Uncle in Manchester. There, she qualified as a mathematics teacher and worked alongside Teresa Billington (later Billington-Greig) at Stockwell College. Probably late in 1903, Alice joined the WSPU with Billington, but soon became unhappy with the autocratic way the Pankhurst's were running the WSPU and its weakening of ties with the Labour Party. Alice was a lifelong Labour Party member and committed to democratic ideals, so she left the WSPU along with Billington (and about a quarter of existing WSPU members) to form a new suffrage society - the Women's Freedom League (WFL) in 1907. Alice became an organiser for the WFL in Middlesbrough and largely due to her work there the society thrived. The WFL campaigned for women’s rights well into the 1960s and Alice became vice president in the 1930s. Alice was arrested in 1909 and sentenced to a months imprisonment for 'obstructing police' whilst taking part in a deputation to the House of Commons. She married Charles Coates, a successful coal exporter, in 1910 after he shielded her from physical attack at an open-air suffrage meeting. It is at their Middlesbrough home 'Wilstrop House' along with their daughter (they went on to have two further children) and a servant that we find the couple in 1911, where Alice resists the census that year as part of the suffrage boycott. Charles notes that the female residents of the house refuse to provide details - 'until women are enfranchised' so the census official takes it upon himself to add as much detail about the women in the house as he can. Alice's sister in law (see )Marion Coates-Hanson lived in the same street and also boycotted the census. Alice remained politically active and by 1919, had become the first woman councillor for Middlesbrough, working to improve employment and living conditions for the local community. In 1951, aged 69, Alice was actively distributing leaflets advocating women's equal pay for equal work. The Equal Pay Act was granted five years before her death in 1975.

Suffrage Society The suffrage society this person was affiliated with at the time of the 1911 UK Census WFL Census This person's response to the 1911 UK Census Resists Biographical Text Marion was sister in law to Alice Schofield-Coates and both women were members of the WFL after briefly belonging to the WSPU. For a short time, Alice may have lived at Northgate house with Marion and her husband Fredrich before she got married to Marion's brother and Fredrich's boss coal merchant Charles Coates in 1910. Alice's daughter would later claim that despite their shared interests, the sister in laws disliked each other and kept their distance wherever possible. During her time in the WFL, Marion was on the board of Guardians for the Newport ward and both she and Alice organised public meetings for the WFL in town - despite dire warnings from local police about potential public opposition. In 1911, Marion took part in the suffrage census boycott as did her sister in law (see) Alice now a near neighbour. Marion's German born husband Fredrich writes on the census form - ' The females in this house refuse to supply any information whatever until they are granted the rights and privileges of citizenship. No vote no census of women'. The 'females' included Marion and two unnamed servants. In 1912, the WFL newspaper, The Vote, reported Marion's key role in organising the WFL's annual conference and heading the society's Standing Orders Committee as well as her election onto the WFL's executive committee. Marion was also a Labour Party member and corresponded regularly with George Lansbury, a Labour MP and vociferous supporter of women's suffrage. Marion was later elected as Middlesbrough's second (her sister in law Alice being the first) female Councillor where she was active in improving housing conditions.

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 Evades Biographical Text Emily (1872-1913) went to Kensington High School and later obtained a first class degree having attended London and Oxford university. She worked chiefly as a governess and joined the WSPU in November 1906. In March 1909, Emily was one of several women arrested after taking part in a deputation to try and meet with Prime Minister Herbert Asquith. She was imprisoned for one month. This experience marked a turning point in Emily's life. Afterwards, she wrote a letter to the WSPU magazine, Votes for Women (11 June, 1909) expressing how: 'Through my humble work in this noblest of causes I have come into a fullness of joy and an interest in living which I have never before experienced'. Thereafter, Emily embarked upon a series of militant actions that eventually led to her death after being trampled under the King's horse when she rushed onto the track at Epsom Derby in 1913. Her militant actions included smashing windows, throwing fake bombs into a political meeting, and hiding herself in the Houses of Parliament whenever possible. One such occasion was on census night on the 2nd April, 1911, when Emily took part in the orchestrated suffragette boycott of the government census. She hid out in a cupboard there (where there is now a commemorative plaque) and upon her discovery a clerk recorded her place of residence on the census survey as the Houses of Parliament - a symbolic location for a disenfranchised woman. In fact, Emily was recorded twice on the government census survey in two different places (see images). She was also recorded - though evidently absent that night - at the place she was then living as a lodger in Coram Street where she appears on our suffrage map (approximate location). Her details were likely provided for the census by her 'helpful' housekeeper Mrs Bateman and far more accurately than those recorded by the parliament clerk. During the suffrage campaign, Emily endured multiple arrests, imprisonments, hunger strikes and was subjected to forcible feedings in prison. This was a brutal practice originally implemented to prevent suffragette 'martyr' deaths as well as their early release from prison as a result of hunger striking. Emily regularly visited Longhorsley in Northumberland during the campaign to visit her mother, Margaret, who ran a shop in the village (see image). She recuperated from spells of imprisonment in Longhorsley and was nursed back to health by her mother. Emily stayed in Longhorsley from late June 1912 for five months with short trips to other parts of the country. She wrote letters to many newspapers in the autumn of 1912 (see image) and called Longhorsley home. There is a plaque commemorating the final time she spent there before her death at Epsom Derby (see images). Upon Emily's death in 1913, she was given a lavish funeral through London's streets by the WSPU, though she had been considered something of a 'rogue' suffragette by them in life. The hate mail Emily received during her short time in a coma in hospital before death, demonstrates the vitriol some had for suffragettes. The letter (see image) written by 'An Englishman' hopes that she 'suffers torture' and laments the missed 'opportunity of starving and beating you to a pulp'. Emily's friends founded the Emily Wilding Davison club in her memory.

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.

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 Margaret was born in 1860 in Cobham, and was elder sister to Norah O'Shea. Both sisters were active and founding members of the Portsmouth branch of the law abiding NUWSS - part of the Surrey, Sussex and Hants federation. Margaret served as the federation's Honorary secretary and Treasurer. Whereas her sister Norah was an outgoing figure - giving many rousing speeches for the cause - Margaret was an avid letter writer on all matters of women's equality. Her letters appear both in the local press and the NUWSS newspaper 'The Common Cause'. She tackled diverse subjects raised by anti-suffragists: such as sending surplus British women of marriageable age to India to circumvent pressure to grant them the vote at home. And she more sensitively critiqued fellow suffragists - such as a letter about Katherine Harley's proposal to 'militarize' the NUWSS through her 'Active Service Corps' scheme, written on Boxing day (see images). Margaret was a lifelong pacifist. As a law abiding suffragist, Margaret, along with her sister, chose not to take part in the suffrage boycott of the government census survey in 1911. However, the sisters together noted on the census form, how they completed it at The Cottage, 'under protest' , because women could not vote. In 1912, Margaret penned the words for a new 'vigorous' suffrage song entitled 'Forward! Ever Forward!' with music by Miss Emily Jones: 'Truth sets women free - free to her the ballot, Citizen is she'. The sisters often held suffrage events in their garden at The Cottage - perhaps Margaret's own song was enthusiastically recited there. Throughout her life, Margaret was an active worker in the socialist movement and local Labour Party, a member of the Fareham Board of Guardians and Rural District Council, and was secretary of the local vegetarian society. In a moving tribute article, published upon her death in 1927, local residents wrote: 'She kept an ever open door...Many troubled hearts found their way to 'The Cottage' and were never sent away... When we were sick, she visited us, and no one else were we so glad to see... we learned from her to think of animals in a kinder way... we hope to live out some of the lessons she taught us.'

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.

Hence, Adela was embroiled in WSPU life from the society's earliest days. In 1906 (whilst working as an elementary school teacher) Adela was arrested along with Hannah Mitchell in Manchester for taking part in a WSPU demonstration and imprisoned for one week. Afterwards, she became WSPU organizer for Yorkshire, but also carried out work in Aberdeen, Cardiff and Bristol, where she was described by Emily Blathwayt as 'a dear little thing' who 'except when she speaks looks like a timid child'. Whilst campaigning in Dundee in 1909, Adela was arrested and imprisoned with Helen Archdale - with whom she later lived - among others for breach of the peace. Adela went on hunger strike and was described by the Scottish prison authorities as of 'the degenerate type' thus unsuitable for forcible feeding - a brutal practice sanctioned by the government and carried out on hunger striking suffragettes by prison authorities. Adela was released after just a few days. In 1911, Adela was organizing in Sheffield and living at Helen Archdale's family home. There the two women took part in the suffrage boycott of the 1911 government census on the evening of the 2nd April. Adela and Helen 'resisted' the census, but also hosted a mass evasion. That night almost 60 people slept over, strewn across various rooms in Helen's home - though press reports indicate there was much more partying that night than sleeping! (see Helen Archdale). By 1912, ill health and perhaps a dislike of the way the WSPU's militant and political tactics were going (Adela disagreed her mother and sister Christabel's loosening of ties with the Labour Party) meant that Adela gave up work for the WSPU. In summer that year, she attended Studley Agricultural College in Worcestershire, gained a Diploma, and afterwards worked as head gardener for Mrs Batten Pooll at Road Manor near Bath. However, Adela struggled to find work and so in 1914, she emigrated to Australia to take a post as organizer for the Women's Political Association in Melbourne. During the War years, it became the Women's Peace Army. Adela was a committed pacifist and socialist and in 1917 married fellow socialist Tom Walsh, a widower with three children. The couple went on to have four surviving children of their own. Shortly after marrying Tom, Adela spent nine months in prison for leading processions for the Women's Socialist League. She went on to perform key roles in the Australian Communist Party and later, in the antithetical Australian Women's Guild of Empire. She was interred in 1942, for supporting Japan's position during WWII. Afterwards, she worked as a nurse for children with learning difficulties.

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 Helen (1876-1950) was educated at St Andrews University in Scotland, and in 1901, married Lt Colonel Archdale who was stationed in India. Together they had two sons and a daughter. Helen returned from India in 1908 and almost immediately joined the WSPU. In October 1909, she was arrested and convicted - with Emmeline Pankhurst's youngest daughter Adela and three others - for breach of the peace, disturbing a meeting attended by Winston Churchill in Dundee. The women including Helen, were imprisoned and went on hunger strike. For reasons that are not entirely clear - perhaps because of family and political connections - none of the women were forcibly fed despite other suffragettes being so treated at that time across the country. They were released after four days. By March of 1910, Helen had become an organizer in Sheffield, but due to ill health, her position was taken over by Adela who moved into Helen's family home in Sheffield. There the two - as suffragettes - took part in the suffrage boycott of the 1911 census on the night of the 2nd of April. Both Helen and Adela resisted the census - just their names were recorded by the census official. However, they also hosted a mass 'evasion' at the house. A total of 57 people (54 of them female) slept there all of whom aside from Adela, Helen and her children, are unidentified. The male occupants that night included one invited newspaper reporter who wrote about the census evasion: 'It was the merriest of parties...the floor is crowded with sleepers...Their faces are white and drawn with weariness'. Later in 1911, Helen moved to London to become the WSPU's Prisoner's Secretary helping organize whatever was needed for suffragette prisoners. She was herself sentenced to two months in Holloway prison in December this time for breaking a window. Helen continued to work for the WSPU which in 1914 threw itself wholeheartedly into supporting the government's War effort. Between 1917-18 she worked for the Ministry of National Service and continued her involvement with the women's movement through roles in the Six Point Group of Great Britain; Equal Rights International; the Open Door Council; and the Federation of Business and Professional Women among other organizations. Helen also worked throughout her life as a journalist.

Suffrage Society The suffrage society this person was affiliated with at the time of the 1911 UK Census WFL Census This person's response to the 1911 UK Census Evades Biographical Text In 1911, Lilla, her husband George and two sons, lived in a spacious house with a servant and Lilla's sister, Constance Andrews. Lilla and her sister were active in founding the WFL's local branch in Ipswich and campaigned for the vote across the Ipswich area. The WFL were a suffragette organisation formed in 1907 as a break away group from the WSPU. Lilla was local organizer for the WFL newspaper, The Vote. The WFL were prepared to break the law, but believed in targeted, less violent action and civil disobedience, as well as maintaining close ties to the labour movement. The WFL was instrumental in organizing the suffrage boycott of the government census in 1911 and so, unsurprisingly, both Lilla and Constance took part by evading the census. The census official has written across the census form for 160 Norwich Road: 'There were two female suffragists in this family who went to some place unknown for the night. The female servant went with them'. The sisters (and presumably their servant) slept out with around 30 other local women at the Old Museum Rooms in Arcade Street (then a dance hall) - an evasion organised by Constance. Lilla's family home in Norwich Road continued as a hive of activity during the suffrage campaign - a regular venue for meetings and talks. By 1913, Lilla had taken over the role as Ipswich branch secretary from her sister Constance, likely because the latter was travelling the length and breadth of the country promoting the Votes for Women cause for the WFL.

Suffrage Society The suffrage society this person was affiliated with at the time of the 1911 UK Census WFL Census This person's response to the 1911 UK Census Evades Biographical Text Constance, a former music teacher, was instrumental in founding the Ipswich branch of the Women's Freedom League (WFL) in 1909. She was Honorary Secretary for the Ipswich branch and by 1911, she was also Honorary Organizer for the East Anglia area. The WFL played a central role in orchestrating the suffrage boycott of the government census survey in 1911, and Constance ensured that Ipswich played its part in the boycott. Constance evaded the census with her sister Lilla by sleeping not at Lilla's family home where they lived with Lilla's husband and sons, but at the Old Museum Rooms (by then a dance hall) in Arcade Street on the evening of the 2nd April when the census official called. Probably because Constance was so well known locally, the census official was aware that as suffragists, the females of the house were likely sleeping at another 'unknown' location writing his suspicions across the census form. Constance was responsible for organizing the mass evasion at the Old Museum Rooms which involved about 20 local people including the sisters servant who evaded with them, sleeping over there for the night (see census image attached). Shortly afterwards, Constance wrote a press report about the evasion at the the Old Museum Rooms - 'the storm centre' of the Ipswich movement. The night was a 'real joy' with various disguises worn in case of intruders, and ghost stories recited later in the evening (Suffolk Chronicle, 7 April, 1911). Later that year, Constance was arrested and spent a week in Ipswich prison for refusing to pay her dog licence (or a subsequent fine) as part of a wider suffragette ' no vote no tax' scheme. Risking imprisonment (as Constance had also done by evading the census) and being imprisoned, was a life changing decision for suffrage campaigners. Being classified as criminals potentially ruined their future lives and reputations. Thus, this sacrifice was publicly acknowledged by suffragette society's like the WFL. Upon Constance's release from Ipswich prison, the president and founder of the WFL Charlotte Despard was there to meet her along with crowds of well wishers from the town. Constance was then whisked away to a celebratory meal and reception. Her tireless work for the WFL kept Constance busy and in the following years she relinquished her role as Secretary of the Ipswich branch to her sister Lilla, so that she could travel up and down the country promoting the votes for women cause. Nevertheless, Constance found time in 1914 to visit home and tell her Ipswich friends about her travels. Ever active, Constance was also involved with the Trade Union and Labour Movements.
