According to genealogical letters written circa 1960 by Hugh W.B. Saunders, great grandson of Ellen (Atkinson) Bannerman, to his first cousin Eleanor B.E. (Orford) Elphick, this is the family of Valerie Babette Louise HOBSON (1917-1998). A film actress in the 1930s and 1940s, her second husband was John PROFUMO, a Conservative member of parliament who resigned as Secretary of State for War in 1963 amidst scandal. I have not yet confidently worked out the details of that connection, however, and members of Valerie's family have written to me disagreeing with the tentative conclusions that used to be displayed here.
Elizabeth Maria ATKINSON, chr. 29 Apr 1813 at Christ Church, Southwark, m. reg. Q4 1842 at Marylebone R.D., Nicholas George HOBSON (b. 6 Dec 1812, chr. 29 Jan 1813 at St. Mary Marylebone, d. 4 Jan 1849 at Madeira; son of George HOBSON and Ann), d. 4 Mar 1888 at 27 Elgin Crescent, d. reg.

Descendants of Thomas Place

Thomas PLACE, m. 13 Feb 1772 at Yarm, Yorkshire, Cicily WEDDELL, d. 21 Jul 1808 at his house in Weymouth Street, Portland Place, London. Thomas made his will on 27 Feb 1802, describing himself as "of Weymouth Street in the parish of Saint Mary le bone in the County of Middlesex Esquire being of sound mind and understanding ... but at present in much bodily pain". The will left his entire estate to three "Worthy Friends" as executors and trustees: William CURTIS, Esq., Alderman of London (a banker and former Lord Mayor and Member of Parliament for London, subsequently made a baronet, who was much mocked for his illiteracy and is said to have originated the expression "the three Rs" for reading, writing, and arithmetic); Robert HAMILTON, Esq., of Chislehurst, Kent (presumably a business partner, see below); and James MOORE, gentleman, of Percy Street, St. Pancras, Middlesex. These men were to liquidate Thomas's estate and invest the proceeds in the public funds on behalf of his four daughters, Elizabeth, Dorothea, Eleanor, and Maria, in equal shares. The will directed his daughters not to "form any connexions or listen to any proposals of marriage without first consulting my said trustees"; any daughter who married without the approval of the trustees was to receive only half her inheritance. The will also directed the daughters to move to a more economical house within a year of Thomas's death, to live together so long as they remained single, and to "observe such economy as to keep themselves from pecuniary embarassments". Witnessing the will were Mary WALKER (probably a relative) of Middleham, Yorkshire, and George WEDDELL (his wife's nephew), clerk to Robert HAMILTON, of 65 Old Broad Street. Thomas was still of Weymouth Street at Eleanor's marriage in Dec 1802. In a codicil to his will on 18 Oct 1807, Thomas added the witness George WEDDELL "now of Grays Inn" as a fourth executor. The codicil was not witnessed: its authenticity was sworn to on 30 Aug 1808 by Edward Ettrick WEDDELL (Thomas's wife's nephew or possibly brother), gentleman, of Pentonville, Middlesex, and George HARKER, gentleman, of Surrey Street, Blackfriars, Surrey. The next day the will was proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury (in London) by executors Robert HAMILTON, James MOORE, and George WEDDELL, but not William CURTIS. Thomas and his executor Robert HAMILTON were presumably business partners, for the 1808 Post Office directory lists them both as merchants at 65 Old Broad Street. So does Holden's 1811 directory (perhaps an updating error). Holden's 1811 directory also lists executor James MOORE, Esq., at 8 Percy Street, Bedford Square. [ref. 1d,4b,5f,5h,6c,6d]

Elizabeth PLACE. Born before her sister Dorothea (because Dorothea's death notice in The Gentleman's Magazine referred to her as her father's second daughter). Alive in 1802 when mentioned in her father's will. Nothing else known. [ref. 4b,5i]
Dorothea PLACE, b. ca. 1774 at Baltimore, Maryland, d. 12 Mar 1853 at Ripon, Yorkshire, d. reg. Q1 1853 at Ripon R.D. In 1841, independent, living at Shell Bank, Ripon, with her sister Maria, their nephew Frederick Cox ATKINSON, and a servant. Dorothea made her will on 27 Oct 1849. In it she appointed as her executors and trustees her sister Maria, her brother-in-law William ATKINSON, and her "relative Mr. John WATSON". She left her "household goods and furniture plate linen and china books prints and pictures" to her sister Maria, £5 each to her sister Eleanor's married daughters Ellen and Elizabeth Maria "to purchase a ring in remembrance of me", £10 to John WATSON "as a slight recompense for the trouble he will have in the execution of the trusts", and all her other money, property, and effects, including "all estates vested in me upon trust or by way of mortgage", four shares in the London and South Western Railway Company "which I sometime since purchased with the proceeds of some money I had formerly in the Dutch Funds", and "all my money in the new 3¼ percent annuities", to her trustees. The trustees were to pay the income from the trust to Maria for her lifetime, then to Eleanor for her lifetime, then partly to Eleanor's daughters Harriet and Mary Ann and their legitimate children (if any) and partly to Eleanor's husband William ATKINSON for his lifetime. After William's death, the trustees were to divide the balance into equal quarters, give one quarter each to William's children Mary Ann, Harriet, and Phillip Place; retain £500 of the other quarter in trust for William's son Frederick Cox and his legitimate children (if any); and give the remainder of the fourth quarter to William's son William Henry. If Frederick had no surviving legitimate children, then after his death the £500 trust was to be divided equally among Harriet, Mary Ann, and Elizabeth Maria. The will was witnessed by Ripon solicitor Samuel WISE and his clerk Thomas LILEY. In 1851, Dorothea was a fund holder, living at Blossomgate End, Ripon, with her sister Maria and a servant. In a codicil to her will on 21 Dec 1852, she changed the disposition of the £500 trust: after Frederick's death, if he had no surviving legitimate children, the entire £500 was to go to Elizabeth Maria rather than being divided among her, Harriet, and Mary Ann. (Perhaps the change was because Elizabeth Maria's husband had died in 1849, leaving her a widow with two young children.) The codicil was witnessed by the same solicitor and by his clerk William BINNS. The three executors proved the will on 4 Jun 1803 in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury (in London). [ref. 2a,2b,3,4b,4c,5i]
Eleanor (often Ellen) PLACE, b. ca. 1780 not in Middlesex, m. 23 Dec 1802 at St. Mary Marylebone, London, by license, William ATKINSON, d. reg. Q2 1849 at Pancras R.D. In 1841, living at 38 Upper Baker Street, Marylebone, with her husband and children (q.v.) and two servants. [ref. 1a,2a,2b,3,4b,5f]
Maria PLACE, b. ca. 1786 at London, d. reg. Q2 1859 at Ripon R.D. In 1841 and 1851, living with her sister Dorothea. [ref. 2a,2b,3,4b]
