  • Notes 
    • From F_Unknown_SophiaLonsdale_Reminiscences:
      One of my mother’s eldest sisters married a Shropshire Squire and Parson, Mr or Dr Oakeley of Oakeley near Bishopscastle. There was a family living. She had ten children most of them handsome and most of them more or less wild. My mother said she spoilt them in proportion to their beauty, and certainly some of the handsomest of the six sons turned out black sheep, and a plain one turned out respectable. The eldest daughter Kate, and the youngest Sophy (Toto) were beautiful women. My mother took Kate driving with her in London, she got out at a shop leaving Kate in the carriage. When she returned she found a little crowd around it, and wondered till she saw Kate smile as accustomed to draw a crowd. She married an elderly Squire, Mr Barton of Longnor. I believe her son, or grandson, is now the Squire and married to a daughter of Toto’s.

      We did not see much of any of the Oakeley cousins except this Toto, who was my mother’s godchild. I should think the family at Oakeley must have been of the sort of uncultured country-bumpkin squirearchy who are quizzed by the London fashionables in the old plays. Shropshire may have been a generation behindhand. They would not be much in my mother’s time. She told me how she sat with her nephews (I suppose nearly as old as herself) and found nothing to talk about, when after a long silence, one burst out with “To be sure I’m vastly fond o’ killing o’ rats”. But my mother had Toto, who was a great deal younger to stay with us often.
