23.01.2022 I've just come across documentation that reveals that EPB, at age 17, committed to being an articled clerk for five years. His commitment didn't last too well as he was off to Natal by the time he was 20. Here is a transcript of a document (the photograph is of the last part of the document showing his signature): "We George Edward Peasgood of Stamford in the County of Lincoln Solicitor’s Clerk and Edward Paul Beauchamp Arnold of the same place Solicitor’s Clerk severally ...make oath as follows I the said George Edward Peasgood for myself make oath and say that by Articles of Clerkship bearing date the first day of December in the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and sixty five made between Robert Edmonds of Stamford in the County of Lincoln Gentleman who has been duly admitted an Attorney of this Honorable Court of the one part and the Reverend Charles Arnold of Tinwell in the County of Rutland Clerk and Edward Paul Beauchamp Arnold Son of the said Charles Arnold of the other part the said Edward Paul Beauchamp Arnold did by and with the consent of the said Charles Arnold put place and bind himself Clerk to the said Robert Edmonds for the Term of Five years thence next ensuing and fully to be complete and ended to serve him in the profession of an Attorney at Law and Solicitor in Chancery from the day of the date of the said Articles and which said Articles were in due form of Law executed by the said Robert Edmonds Charles Arnold and Edward Paul Beauchamp Arnold on the first day of December One thousand and eight hundred and sixty five in the presence of this Deponent and that the name G E Peasgood set and subscribed to the said Articles as Witness to the due execution thereof is of the proper handwriting of this Deponent.

22.01.2022 Francis Assaad Arnold [1837-1839] - the sixth child of Charles and Ellen Arnold. This child's second name has long intrigued me. I may have discovered an answer courtesy of an article in the Illustrated London News of 28 July 1843 which refers to the visit to England of Assaad y Kayat, a Syrian Christian whose visit was sponsored by the Church of England Society for Promoting Christian Education in Syria. The article mentions that this notable person had previously visited in 1835. As the Society was an initiative of the Church of England and as the visit was well received, it is possible that Charles and Ellen sort to pay some recognition by naming the first son they had after the 1835 visit with the second name Assaad.

22.01.2022 In May 1789, an attempt was made in the British House of Commons to repeal those sections of the Corporation and Test Acts that discriminated against Protestant Dissenters by preventing them from access to public office or higher education if they weren't prepared to follow the rituals of the Established Church. Throughout the country many public meetings were held to support the repeal. In finality those discriminatory sections would not be repealed until May 1828. Thomas Ar...nold MD [1742-1816], grandfather of Rev Charles Arnold [1802-1884], a stalwart of the Established Church, was the Chairman of the protest meeting held in Leicester on 8 December 1789 in support of the Repeal Bill. The photograph is from the front page of the December 25 edition of the Lincoln, Rutland & Stamford Mercury which reported on the resolution passed by the meeting our ancestor chaired. See more

22.01.2022 Quiz time: Who was here on May 14 1852? Answer: According to a report on page 4 in The Shipping and Mercantile Gazette of 2 July of that same year, that is where Nelson Henry Arnold was. At least that was what the newspaper reported that the HMS Wabash (which had been en route from Mauritius to the UK) had advised was the location where they had sighted HMS Walmer Castle on May 14. Given that other newspaper reports had indicated that the Walmer Castle had sailed from Gravesend on 11 April, it meant that it had taken them just over a month for them to reach there what a long way Nelson Henry still had to sail to reach his destination - Madras.

21.01.2022 This is the Title Page to the second edition of a textbook written by Rev Charles Arnold [1802-1884]. The first edition had been published in 1844. The book is 152 pages in length. There is no record that a Part II was ever written. This is the text from the first page: The object of this book is twofold: (1) To make Arithmetic more easy to little boys, by enabling them to understand it: (2) To prevent their forgetting a Rule as soon as they have entered upon a new one, -- a ...circumstance which every Teacher has often had to lament. Each Rule is therefore explained in a familiar manner; and of the examples in each Exercise some belong to the Rule which has just been explained, and other to the Rules which have gone before. [Note to Second Edition] In this second Edition of the Boy’s Arithmetic some slight improvements have been made; and some errors noticed in the previous Edition have been corrected. A Chapter has been added on Tare and Tret, to meet the wishes of some masters of National and Commercial Schools from whom the Author has received testimonies as to the value of the work. C.A. Tinwell, Aug. 12, 1850 See more

19.01.2022 Extracts from The School in Weenen 1857-1957, author and publication date unknown. Pp.9-10: Another mainstay of the school was Miss Maxwell. From 1904 to 1905 she was on the staff. Later, as Mrs Arnold, she filled the breach as a temporary assistant. Still later two of her daughters and one son were, for periods, connected with the school. In A 1918 Mr J Hattingh assumed duty as principal of the school. During his term of office the ‘Flu Epidemic raged through South Africa.... In October 1918 the Weenen school was closed on account of the flu. In February 1919 the school re-opened with 103 pupils on the roll. Many parents, so reports the principal, changed the language medium of their children from English to Dutch as a result of the agitation of the N G predikant from Durban. A staff meeting had to be called to discuss the difficulties arising from the change of language medium. There were then 50 Hollands- and 56 English-medium children. In August 1921 Afrikaans was introduced and the Afrikaans medium grew so quickly that in 1925 there 68 A.M. pupils. In 1928 Mr A.G. du Toit assumed duty as principal of Weenen School. During his time, between 3 and 4am on the 8th March 1930 the Bushman’s River overflowed its banks and a greater part of the village, with disastrous results. There were 4 European casualties. The water rose to a height of four feet in the school and the books, amongst others the principal’s diary, were inundated. Following this the school had to move to the town hall for two months. On 30 September 1931 Dr McConkey, the present Director of Education, visited Weenen as an inspector. In 1932, Afrikaans had made such progress that Mr du Toit began to write his diary in Afrikaans.

11.01.2022 A question: does anyone know whether the Rev J K Arnold who presided at the marriage of Rev Charles Arnold and Ellen Burrows at St George's Bloomsbury on 27 June 1828 is related to us? This is the notice carried in the Stamford Mercury of the time:

05.01.2022 I have already circulated to a number of you a transcript of the diary Edward Paul Beauchamp Arnold [1848-1918] wrote of the time he was involved in the Faulkner Expedition up the Zambezi. He left the expedition before it finished - obviously things had been difficult. Here is a report from the Glasgow Evening Citizen of 24 November 1869 giving a hint of the tensions.

01.01.2022 Hi cousins, Mom (Jean) and I are going through some old files and came across this photo which Rod Bulman had given to us on one of our visits to South Africa. The first shot of these three is of Agnes Arnold holding Fling on her lap and with Emily at her left knee. The second shot is Rod’s listing of who was who in the photo which is labelled Tennis Party in Weenen in 1916 - EPB is in front row sitting on the ground with a dog (LHS); Agnes was in the second row with Fling & Em. Bea is in the front row the other side from EPB of the two men with children on their laps. The name listing purports that William Arnold is the second from the left in the back row ... this can’t possibly be correct as that person does not resemble any other photo we have of William ... more likely, he is the last one on the back row on the RHS.
