  • Notes 
    • From F_Unknown_SophiaLonsdale_Reminiscences:
      Our cousin Bollands [i.e. the children of Elizabeth Joanna Bolland] were somewhat similarly treated with us and lived at a house near Eton called Willowbrook. We generally spent our half holidays together acting plays with nurse and governess, and the boys went to the school where I believe my brother Jem helped them with their verses.
      The Bolland brothers, Henry, William and John were handsome and very agreeable but not I suppose really scholarly. I think all Bollands talked above their abilities. John and I were great friends. When I was quite a little girl I remember the charwoman, who came to the Wharf, and to Willowbrook, stopping in her scrubbing to say, “Master Jonny Bolland told me to say, will you marry him when you are ninety-nine, and he is a hundred?”. Poor John Bolland! He did not live to be nearly half a hundred, but died in the desert.
      These Bollands were the children of my mother’s sister, who married after an eleven year’s engagement, her cousin, another grandchild of the Masham shopkeeper. He became a judge, and I remember my Uncle Baron Bolland, a handsome old gentleman, predicting the ruin of England owing to the first Reform Bill.
