1891, 1891 Census for Household of Edward Lauderdale in Great Grimbsy
1901, 1901 Census for Household of Edward Lauderdale in Lincoln
Husband:
Edward Lauderdale (1840-1910)
Wife:
Mary Jane Brown (1848-1915?)
Children:
Marriage:
18761
Address: Great Grimsby, Lincolnshire
The marrige date was originally estimated from the date of birth of Edward and Mary's eldest child, Maggie. As she was born in Great Grimsby which is in the Registration District of Caistor it is assumed they were married there.
Census for household:
3 Apr 1881
Great Grimsby, Lincolnshire2
Address: Abbey Road
The household consisted of Edward, his wife Mary, their children Maggie age 2 and Lucy age 11 months. They also had two 'live in' servants Jane Turner who was a general servant and and Jessie Heyhoe who was a nursemaid. The size of the house is unknown but it must have been fairly large and in an affluent neighbourhood as all the households had at least one servant.
Census for household:
5 Apr 1891
Great Grimsby, Lincolnshire3
Address: Abbey Road
The household consisted of Edward, his wife Mary, their two children Edward age 7 and Alice age 4. They also had a general servant Alice Williamson. The size of the house is unknown but it must have been fairly substantial and in an affluent area as most properties had at least one servant. Both the children are attending school.
Family moved from:
Nov 1893
Great Grimsby; Lincoln, Lincolnshire4
with their children Maggie, Edward and Alice. The exact reason for the move is unclear but seems to be associated with Edwards resignation as minister of the Great Grimsby Baptist Tabernacle where there appears to have been some scission in the congregation and him becoming an ordained Church of England priest. It is quite understandable that they should wish to move from Great Grimsby but why Edward chose Lincoln is not so clear. Perhaps he had already made up his mind about changing sects and had put out feelers. He dad been baptised into the Church of England in 1840 and presumably confirmed and had received his theological training at the London College of Divinity which was evangelical in outlook.

The household consisted of Edward, his wife Mary and their children Margaret, Edward and Alice They also had two 'live in' two servants Kate Singleton who is described as a ladies (sic) help and Alice Hannah who is a housemaid. The size of the house is unknown but it must have been large and in a fairly affluent area as all the households along the street had at least one servant.
1910, Grant of Probate for Edward Lauderdale
Name:
Edward Lauderdale
Sex:
Male
Father:
William Lauderdale (1818?-1891)
Mother:
Jane Sharp (1819-1840)
Birth:
Sep 1840
As it was normal practice to baptise children within a few weeks of their birth it is assumed that he was born in late September or early October. As the date of his baptism (25 October 1840) was the same as his brother Edward's and according to the 1861 Census that were the same age it is assumed that they were twins.
Baptism:
25 Oct 1840 (age 0)
St Michael7
Address: Wark on Tyne, Northumberland
As both parents names were recorded in the Baptismal Register it is assumed that they attended the service. Edward's twin brother Thomas was baptised on the same occasion. However, Jane was probably ill after the birth of her twin sons as she died the day after the baptism so she may have been too ill to attend.

Education:
frm 1863 to 1866 (age 22-26)
Address: Mortimer Road, Kilburn, London
What prompted him to abandon engineering (he is shown as an apprentice engineer in the 1861 Census) and undertake theological training is not known. Also he appears to have changed from being a member of the Church of England to Baptist. Perhaps he was influenced by an evangelical preacher.
The London College of Divinity was established in 1863, with the financial support of the Rev. Alfred Peache and his sister Miss Kezia Peache, as an evangelical theology college to train men who wished to be clergy but who could not go to university, generally because they lacked the required educational background. The principal was the Rev Thomas P Boultbee. The 1908 Crockford's Clerical Directory indicated that he graduated in 1866. It has not been possible to find out how long the courses were but assuming a three year course means that he entered the college in 1863 when it opened or shortly afterwards.
Occupation:
frm 1866 to 1868 (age 25-28)
Baptist Minister; London11
During his theological training he almost certainly went to hear the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon preach at the Baptist Metropolitan Temple. It may have even been part of the course. Edward was obviously inspired by him to become a Baptist Minister. After finishing his training he probably did supply work in the London area and came to the notice of the Rev. Spurgeon who recommended him as a supply minister to the Great Grimsby Baptist community.
Occupation:
btw 17 May 1868 and 29 Oct 1893 (age 27-53)
Baptist Minister; the Baptist Church4,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20
Address: Grimsby, Lincolnshire
Baptist witness and worship in Grimsby began in 1822 with the first chapel and schoolroom being built and opened in 1824 in Burgess Street. By 1826 a small group covenanting together became the first Baptist Church and called their first minister in that same year. From March 7th to 22nd inclusive the services were conducted by Ministers from Hull.
The Church then applied to the Rev C. H. Spurgeon (of the Metropolitan Tabernacle) for a suitable supply with a view to the pastorate, when Mr Edward Lauderdale was sent to supply four sabbaths; at the end of his engagement he received the unanimous invitation of the Church. Agreed at this meeting convened April 16th 1868. After due consideration & much prayer by the Church and himself he accepted the invitation on May 8th 1868 and commenced his labours on Lord's Day May 17th 1868 (signed) W.H.
During his tenure the church thrived and the growth in the congregation eventually led to the building of the Baptist Tabernacle in 1876-1877 which could seat 1,000.16,17,18,19,20
His resignation was put forward at a meeting on 16th October 1893. He had intimated his decision to the deacons two months previously but there is no hint of a reason in the minutes. He had returned to work in April 1893 after being ill. During his illness a Mr Judd had been engaged to serve as pastor and it would appear that after the Rev. Lauderdale's return Mr Judd has set up a Mission in New Clee (contrary to the vote of the church) and had taken some of the congregation with him. Mr Orby Bradley took the opportunity at the October meeting to say that "if Mr Lauderdale had asked only his own friends to attend he would have had a much smaller meeting" (!). The meeting unanimously condemned his remarks but Mr Bradley's comments together with the setting up of the New Clee Mission were indicative that the Rev. Lauderdale had fallen out of favour with some of the congregation.
The church then unanimously requested the pastor to reconsider his resignation to take six months to consider it or a month at least if he preferred. He then said he would think it over and let the deacons know before Sunday.
It was proposed by Mr Burgess and seconded by Mr Harmin and unanimously agreed that if the pastor remain the church pledge herself to heartily and earnestly support the pastor in every good word and work.
It was then agreed to empower the deacons to deal with the Mission in New Clee and three fifths of the deacons be a quorum.
It was also agreed to empower the Deacons to close the (school?) in New Clee when they considered it advisable.
Meeting closed with prayer.
On the following Lords day the pastor having intimated to the deacons he had adhered to his determination to close his ministry among them the following Lords day Oct 29th Mr Wilson at the close of the service by the pastors request announced to the congregation the pastor would preach the annual sermons on Lords day Oct 29th and preach his farewell sermon in the evening.
Census:

Great Grimsby, Lincolnshire21
Address: 2 Pasture Street
He is a lodger in the household of John Foster.
Parents:
3 Jan 1883 (age 42)
Edward and Mary Lauderdale were present at the burial of their child Lucy on 3 January 1883 in Old Cemetary, Ainsley Street, Great Grimsby. Surprisingly the burial took place the day after her death. The reason for such a short space of time is not known. Her parents and older sister Maggie would have been there and probably members of Edward's congregation. The service which was taken by a Wesleyan minster would have been held in the Dissenters Chapel and followed by a short committal.
Father:
18 Oct 1883 (age 43)
He reported his son Edward's birth to the Registrar H M Steppington on 18 October 1883 at the Register Office for Great Grimsby. His father seems to left it rather late as nearly 3 months elapsed between his son's birth and registration.
Occupation:
btw 1894 and 1910 (age 53-70)
In 1894 he was ordained as a Deacon in the Diocese of Lincoln. What prompted the transition from being a Baptist Minister to being a Church of England Priest is not known. As he took his wife and three children with him when he moved from Grimsby to Lincoln it can only be assumed that they became members of the Church of England as well, especially as wives played an important supporting role in church life. After being ordained he was appointed Curate of St Swithin, Lincoln. He became a priest in 1895 and remained at St Swithin as a Curate. St Swithin was large church seating a 1,000 and serving a population of 10,000. The incumbent was E. Wanstal who was installed in 1895 and there was another Curate, T. E. Swanzy who has also been appointed in 1894. In 1889 he was installed as the Vicar of St Mark, City and Diocese of Lincoln under the patronage of the Bishop of Lincoln. The population of this parish was rather smaller at 909.

Mourner:
27 May 1891 (age 42-43)
Mary Jane Brown was a mourner at the burial of John Brown on 27 May 1891 in the Great Grimsby Old Cemetery, Ainsley Street. It is noted from the register page that E. Lauderdale was the Officiating Minister at some of of the burials. As Edward Lauderdale was John Brown's son-in-law it is surprising that the service was not taken by him. Who else was there is not known although although a number of friends and business acquaintances were almost certainly present.

Occupation:
frm 1909 to 1960 (age 25-77)
After obtaining a B.A. at Cambridge it is thought that he finished his training at St Thomas' Hospital in London. He was made a M.R.C.S. and a L.R.C.P. in 1909 and in the 1911 Census is shown as working at St Thomas' where he became Senior House Physician and Senior Obstetric House Physician. Sometime prior to 1925 he started or acquired a general practice at 211 Lower Rd, S.W.16 in Bermondsey. In 1970 the practice moved to 51 Hawkstone Road and in 1975 he retired although it seems almost inconceivable that he worked until he was 92. At some time during all those years he was Assistant Resident Medical Officer at the Brompton Consumption Hospital. When this was is not known.

Edward witnessed the Marriage of Sherod Henry Greenfield and Maggie Maitland Lauderdale
Military Service:
frm 1914 to 1818 (age -65-30)
Royal Navy as a Surgeon Lieutenant56
His medal record shows that he earned the 1914-15 Star, Victory and British War Medals and claimed them for himself. The fact that was awarded the 1914-15 Star indicates that he saw active service between 5 Aug 1914 and 31 Dec 1915. Recipients of the 1914-15 Star automatically qualified for the British War and Victory Medals. His record is annotated Hawke Battalion 1915. The Hawke Battalion which was composed of naval officers and ratings who fought as soldiers as opposed to serving in ships saw action at Gallipoli from 30 May 1915 to January 1916 and Mudros & Imbros January to May 1916. In May 1916 Hawke Battalion joined the British Expeditionary Force as part of 189th Brigade 63rd (RN) Division seeing action in France and Belgium until May 1919. As a Surgeon Lieutenant Edward would not have been involved directly in the fighting but in tending the wounded.

Bermondsey, London58
Address: 211 Lower Road
This was the address of his medical practice and he is shown as an ARP (Air Raid Precautions) Medical Service for B.B.C. (Bermonsy Borough Council?). He had a housekeeper Florence Featherstone who, as she is shown in the register, must have lived there. However, she is shown as being married but where her husband was is not known (he would have been too old to be in the forces).
Will:
13 Aug 1973 (age 90)
25 Rodney Court, Maida Vale, London59
The will was drawn up by his solicitor, John Simon Gold who was also appoined executor together with niece Phyllis Walker. After various small bequests he left the residue of his estate to his sister Alice or if she had predeceased him or died within one month of his death to be divided equally between his nieces Phyllis Walker and Dorothy Young. The will was witnessed by Mr and Mrs Magnus who were his neighbours at Rodney Court.
Death:
3 Aug 1977 (age 94)
Bromley Hospital60
Cause: bronchopneumonia and senility
Address: Bromley, Kent
Finding the date of Edward's death was not easy. A search of the death registrations gave an Edward Lauderdale who died in 1977 and was born on 28 July 1881. However, it was known from his birth certificate that he was born on 8 July 1883 and of his full name was Edward Maitland Lauderdale. His last entry in the Medical Directory was in 1977 which gave his home address which was in Maida Vale (by which time he would have been retired as he would have been 94!) whereas the 1964 entry gave his practice address which was in Bermondsey. However, the Medical Directory may be a bit 'historical' - probably at least a year out of date - but did serve to confirm that he had died in 1976 or 7. I asked the GRO to carry out a manual search for the death of Edward Maitland Lauderdale and they couldn't find it neither was his death registered in Scotland, Northern Ireland or abroad but at his age it is unlikely that he would have travelled very far.
A search for a birth registration for an Edward Lauderdale born in 1883 proved negative so it is assumed that an error had been made in Edward Maitland Lauderdale's death registration -- probably because the person registering death was not aware of his full name or his date of birth. Although his death certificate was issued in the name of Edward Lauderdale it gave his occupation as a doctor of medicine (retired) which indicated that the correct certificate had been obtained especially as there was no medical registration for an Edward Lauderdale. As a contributory cause of his death was senility it is assumed that he was in a nursing home before he was taken to hospital and that the person who registered his death (David Gareth Jones) was either the owner of the home or a member of staff although his occupation is shown as the occupier -- a term which is not understood. The death was certified by Anthony G Loss who was the deputy coroner for London Southern district after a post-mortem without inquest which means he had not seen a doctor in the 14 days prior to his death.

Transcript of part of the minute book of the Grimsby Baptist Tabernacle (North East Lincolnshire Archives number 471/3/1):-
Church Meeting Octr 16th 1893.
Members present 72. Pastor presiding.
Prayers offered. This was an ordinary meeting at which the resignation of the pastor as intimated to the deacons had to be considered. He had made the intimation two months previous to this but was urged to reconsider and withdraw it but having stated he could not alter his decision and that he must at an early date withdraw from the pastorate. Prior to the opening three friends were urged to leave the meeting as they had joined the Mission in New Clee which had been commenced contrary to the vote of the church and was under the guidance of Mr Judd who had come without any communication with the church or deacons he had been engaged to serve during the illness of the pastor. Eventually the three Robert Gale, Henry Cole and Richard Moor retired.
The pastor then stated he could not withdraw his resignation.
Mr Orby Bradley here rose and made an unwarranted and unjustifiable attack upon the pastor by saying if Mr Lauderdale had asked only his friends to attend he would have had a much smaller meeting.
The pastor asked him to withdraw that statement and as he refused the church was asked to express their condemnation or otherwise upon such statement. The vote was unanimous in favour of Mr Lauderdale and yet Mr Bradley still refused to acknowledge his mistake. The church refused to allow him to speak unless he did and this he declined to do.
The church then unanimously requested the pastor to reconsider his resignation to take six months to consider it or a month at least if he preferred. He then said he would think it over and let the deacons know before Sunday.
It was proposed by Mr Burgess and seconded by Mr Harmin and unanimously agreed that if the pastor remain the church pledge herself to heartily and earnestly support the pastor in every good word and work.
It was then agreed to empower the deacons to deal with the Mission in New Clee and three fifths of the deacons be a quorum.
It was also agreed to empower the Deacons to close the (school?) in New Clee when they considered it advisable.
Meeting closed with prayer.
On the following Lords day the pastor having intimated to the deacons he had adhered to his determination to close his ministry among them the following Lords day Oct 29th Mr Wilson at the close of the service by the pastors request announced to the congregation the pastor would preach the annual sermons on Lords day Oct 29th and preach his farewell sermon in the evening.

The London College of Divinity
The London College of Divinity was established in 1863, with the financial support of the Reverend Alfred Peache and his sister Miss Kezia Peache, as an evangelical theology college to train men who wished to be clergy but who could not go to university, generally because they lacked the required educational background. The first Principal of the college was one of its founders, the Reverend Thomas P. Boultbee who remined there until 1884. From its start, the college had close links with other institutions in the Evangelical wing of the Anglican Church, such as the Church Pastoral Aid Society which was set up to fund the training of evangelical clergy.The college opened in Mortimer Road, St John's Wood, in buildings formerly occupied by St John's Foundation School. The college continued to use the name London College of Divinity, St John's Hall for the next hundred years as it moved to various locations in and around London. The most well known of these were the imposing buildings at Avenell Road, Highbury in north London, which the college occupied between 1866 and 1940.

Partial Transcript of Minutes of Grimsby Baptist Church
Edward Lauderdale's Arrival
"1868.
The following Minutes were registered by our brother Mr Hewson (Deacon) The Church being without a Pastor.
From March 7th to 22nd inclusive the services were conducted by Ministers from Hull.
The Church then applied to the Rev C.H.Spurgeon for a suitable supply with a view to the pastorate, when Mr Edward Lauderdale was sent to supply four sabbaths; at the end of his engagement he received the unanimous invitation of the Church. Agreed at this meeting convened April 16th 1868. After due consideration & much prayer by the Church and himself he accepted the invitation on May 8th 1868 and commenced his labours on Lord's Day May 17th 1868 (signed) W.H."
During his tenure the church thrived the Baptist Tabernacle was built in Victoria Road in 1876-1877. The Tabernacle was demolished in the late 1950s but the site remained empty until only a year or two ago (say 2008), when a new office with apartments was built. The site lies next to the Hope and Anchor public house.
The older church building (behind the Tabernacle in Burgess Street) has also been demolished. The remains of those in its burial ground were transferred to the town's Scartho Road Cemetery.
Edward Lauderdale' Departure
His resignation was put forward at a meeting on 16th October 1893. No reason is given. He intimated the decision to the deacons two months previously. There is no hint of a reason in these minutes. He had apparently returned to work - possibly from illness - in April 1893. Mr Orby Bradley took the opportunity at the October meeting to say that "if Mr Lauderdale had asked only his own friends to attend he would have had a much smaller meeting" (!). The meeting unanimously condemned his remarks. It asked Lauderdale to reconsider.
The Tabernacle was a large financial undertaking, and the pastor had a heavy workload. About this time the minutes also mention attempts to start a second church in New Clee.
The minutes are held in the North-East Lincolnshire Archives (ref. 471/3/1) and the transcript is by the Archivist John Wilson after a request for information relating to the arrival and departure of Edward Lauderdale (19) who was minister from 1869 to 1894.
Rev. C. H. Spurgeon
Charles Haddon Spurgeon (19 June 1834 – 31 January 1892) was an English Particular Baptist preacher . Spurgeon remains highly influential among Christians of various denominations , among whom he is known as the "Prince of Preachers". He was a strong figure in the Reformed Baptist tradition, defending the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith , and opposing the liberal and pragmatic theological tendencies in the Church of his day.
Spurgeon was pastor of the congregation of the New Park Street Chapel (later the Metropolitan Tabernacle ) in London for 38 years. [2] He was part of several controversies with the Baptist Union of Great Britain and later he left the denomination over doctrinal convictions. [3] While at the Metropolitan Tabernacle he built an Almshouse, the Stockwell Orphanage and encouraged his congregation to engage actively with the poor of Victorian London. He also founded Spurgeon's College , which was named after him posthumously.
Spurgeon authored sermons , an autobiography, commentaries, books on prayer, devotionals, magazines, poetry, and hymns. Many sermons were transcribed as he spoke and were translated into many languages during his lifetime. He is said to have produced powerful sermons of penetrating thought and precise exposition. His oratory skills are said to have held his listeners spellbound in the Metropolitan Tabernacle, and many Christians hold his writings in exceptionally high regard among devotional literature.

News item in Grimsby News, The New Baptist Chapel Start of Consruction, Grimbsy and surrounding district, 5 May 1876, Grimsby Central Library.
Grimsby News. 5th May 1876
THE NEW BAPTIST CHAPEL. -- Operations have been commenced on the site reserved for the new Baptist chapel to be built for the Rev E. Lauderdale, in Victoria Street, one of the buildings has been demolished, and the two adjoining have received noticed to quit. This, however, up to recently they have refused to do, and only decided upon leaving when it was intimated to them that if they did not the roofs and doors would be taken off and it is now expected that by June all the houses will be cleared away. Mr Glover, of London, is the architect and Mr John Brown, of Victoria Street, is the builder. The chapel will, when finished, be a very hansom structure. The style of the building is Romanesque, with stained glass or ornate windows, and the fittings will be all pitch pine throughout. The will be four staircases in the building, which will accommodate 1,000 … and the roof will be divided into three and supported by ornamental iron pillars giving a very imposing appearance to the chapel. The choir will be accommodated at each side of the organ, and the platform will be immediately in front, and approach by steps from either side. The Rev C. H. Spurgeon has signified his willingness to lay the foundation stone if the state of his health will permit him to perform the ceremony.
The New Baptist Chapel - Start of Constuction

Transcript of the Grimsby News 1876 October 20 on Laying of Memorial Stone for New Baptist Temple
Memorial Stone Laying.
Yesterday was a red letter day in the annals of the Baptists of Grimsby, it being the occasion of the laying the memorial stone chapel in the course of erection in Victoria Street. A large concourse of people, representing all the various denominations, assembled within the walls of the building to witness the interesting ceremony, which was performed by Richard Johnson, Esq, of London, a liberal donor to the cause of Christianity. The proceedings commenced at three o'clock.
After devotional exercises, conducted by the Revs J. Fordyce, R. Posnett, and P. Milton, the Rev. E. Lauderdale, the pastor, gave an interesting account of the history of the Baptist cause in Grimsby. In the year 1822 a room was opened, the Rev A. Greenwood, of Killingholme, preached the first sermon. The congregations continue to increase and in 1823 it was determined to erect a chapel, which was opened on November 4th in the same year. In 1826 a church was formed, which consisted of six persons, and in 1829 a Sunday School. In May 1860 he (Mr Lauderdale) came from Spurgeon's College, and entered upon his labours, with what success from then until now he would leave others to pronounce or stop the chapel was not overcrowded and into several circumstances, one of which is that many of the congregation were amongst those "who go down to the sea in ships." But the sittings had been all "let" for more than five years. The Sunday school work had also been very prosperous under a goodly band of teachers, and for that work the cry had long been "Give give us room" until the church could no longer resist the voice. That cry will be answered when the new sanctuary is built, as the old chapel will be converted into a schoolroom. On behalf of the church he was glad to welcome all sections of the Christian Church on that occasion, and was very grateful to see so many ministers who represented the various denominations, as it was evidence that they were all one in the great work to which the Lord had called them.
The 211th Psalm having been sung.
Mr Hewson, the senior deacon, said the gathering that day was a time of rejoicing to him. He was permitted to see the first stone laid of the old chapel, and remembered the first Sabbath School being formed, and it caused his heart to be kindled with glory and gratitude to God for his goodness and his many mercies unto them. They had heard of the troubles of the Church had had to pass through, but they had to praise God they were there that day to lay the memorial stone of a new sanctuary to his honour and glory, and the gathering cheered his heart in a way that he could not find words to express. He trusted it would be a place in which much good would be done many souls would be saved, and the name of God glorified. He had much pleasure and happiness in presenting Mr Johnson with a trowel on behalf of the church and the congregation of Burgess Street Chapel.
And the Rev. E. Lauderdale read the inscription on the trowel as follows: "To Richard Johnson, Esq, upon the occasion of laying the memorial stone of the Victoria Baptist Chapel, Grimsby, October 19th, 1876." The trowel was of solid silver, with ivory handle, and the inscription handsomely engraved. It was supplied by Mr W. White, Jeweller, Victoria Street.
Richard Johnson, Esq., then stepped forward and accepted a trowel, and in the course of his address, said: Christian friends; I almost wonder how it is that I am here today, but I will try and explain it to you. Many years past it has been my Christian privilege to be connected with the Baptist church and to Labour in some small way -- sometimes in one way and sometimes in another for the cause of Christ. I have never had to do was so large a chapel as this, but I have had to do was several little ones, and I never thought would come to my lot to have presented to me a trowel for the purpose of laying a memorial stone. But one cannot tell what experience will come in the course of a long and busy life, and therefore today, in reply to an earnest invitation from your friend and my friend, your pastor. I am here today to the purpose of helping you in this very interesting ceremony. Our friend Mr Lauderdale said it would not do for him to go back and commence with the history of the people calling themselves Baptist. I'm planning be thankful he came to that conclusion (laughter) because we should have to stand here until midnight to hear what he had to say. It would take him all week. (Renewed laughter.) But there is a great deal to be said on that question. I would like the friends of Grimsby today to remember that the "lines have fallen to as in pleasant places," Nations and sometimes success in religious things at least, makes people careless. Especially would I like my young friends to remember that the Baptists of 1876 are not like the Baptists of 100 years ago; their privileges are far in advance of those which our predecessors were permitted to enjoy. I will now speak, not as a Baptist, but to the Christian friends here today. Of course we have differences of opinion, our minds do not look at things at the same point of view, therefore we do not come to the same conclusion. But happily on the great broad question of our salvation I doubt whether twelve of us here would differ. I believe we hold our safety for time and for eternity to the great sacrifice which was offered for the sins of the world. When we get down to the stream, whether we be Baptists, Independents, Society of Friends, Methodists, or whatever it may be everything will float away, and when we get to the other side we should all stand on the same platform. There we shall all rejoice together, singing the honour of the Lamb. I want my young friends to grow up in early life with the principles of the Gospel fairly and firmly rooted in their -- I was going to say minds -- but I mean hearts. I'm glad to see Baptist friends in Grimsby so thoroughly that one with Christian friends of other denominations, and we heartily thank our brethren are coming amongst us today in such large numbers.
Previously to the ceremony of laying the stone, Mr Dobson, one of the deacons placed a bottle in a cavity left for that purpose which contained copies of the Grimsby News, Grimsby Herald, and Grimsby Observer, The Freeman, Baptist Messenger, sermons by Mr Spurgeon, and some coins of the realm.
After the ceremony was performed Mr Johnston remarked that it was usual for all interested in the cause, as soon as possible after the stone was laid to play some money -- or something in the shape of money -- upon the stone to aid in raising the building. He had had the pleasure of being at one stone playing where £1,200 was laid upon the stone and he hoped that they should double the amount that day. He could see some young ladies who were anxious to contribute. (Laughter.)
The following inscription is on the stone: "This memorial stone was laid by Richard Johnson, Esq., (London) Oct. xix, MDCCCLXXVI. Minister: E. Lauderdale. Morton M. Glover, Architect, John Brown, Builder."
The sums of money laid upon the stone amounted to about £120.
After the 118th Psalm, second part, had been Sung, and the Rev. J. H. Groves, M. A. had offered a prayer, Henry Varley, Esq delivered a very earnest evangelistic address. The foundation he wanted to speak of was Jesus Christ, and he thought it was very important they should lay aside the material and remember the spiritual. The living God does not dwell in temples made with hands. It is in vain to restore the ancient cathedral if you suppose the fresh guilding will bring necessarily the blessing of God into the place. He then desired to speak about the Lord Jesus Christ as the foundation laid by God. Blessed be his name forever that we can speak of him now as one with us, "behold we bring you glad tidings of great joy, for unto you is born this day they Saviour which is Christ the Lord." When Jesus came his great work was to put away soon by the facts sacrifice of himself. He is the representative of the great love of that Heavenly Father. As they laid the memorial stone they should be reminded that when Christ was nailed upon the Cross by the sacrifice of himself he put away their sin ever. He concluded by making a strong appeal to the working men of Grimsby to come to Christ, the only hope of eternal life.
Several smaller stones were laid in the wall at the rear of the building, by the following ladies and gentlemen whose names are inscribed on them: Mr John Edward Rushworth, Mr Herbert Dobson, Miss Clara Brown, Mrs Mary Walker, Mrs Lauderdale, and Mr John B. Gidley.
At five o'clock tea was provided in the town hall of a very substantial character. The company poured into the hall in such large numbers that it was a difficult matter to accommodate them, although there were four tables the entire length of the room. As soon as one company filed out another one, equally as numerous, filled their place, and so it continued about four times. The tables were tastefully arranged, and the following ladies and gentlemen gave trays: -- Mrs Lauderdale, Mrs John Brown, Mrs D. Lang, Mrs Lamming, Mrs Ready, Mrs J. Stanley, Messrs. C. Wilkins, Lee, Parker, Walsh, J. Spashett, Marsh, J. Dobson, Green, Bedford, Drakes, and White. Other trays were presided over by the following ladies: -- Mrs Cook, Mrs G Roberts, Miss Brown Miss Godley, Mrs Marshall, Mrs Lello, Mrs Bramwell, Miss Lister, Mrs Monds, Mrs J. Smith, Miss A. Brown, Mrs Welsh, Mrs Robinson and Mrs Broughton.
After tea a public meeting was held, presided over by Richard Johnson, Esq, and addresses were delivered by Henry Varley, Esq, and several ministers and friends.
Cordial votes to the chairman, to Henry Varley, Esq, to the ladies who had presided at the tea, and to John Wintringham, jur., Esq, who had kindly lent some beautiful plants to decorate the platform, brought proceedings to a close.
The report occupies a single column.

NEW BAPTIST CHAPEL.
MEMORIAL STONE LAYING
On Thursday afternoon memorial stone of a new Baptist Chapel, which is being erected on an excellent and convenient site in Victoria Street South was laid by Mr Richard Johnson of London, superintendent engineer of the Great Northern Railway, in the presence of a large assemblage, which included the Revs R. Posnett, W.D. Williams, J.H. Groves, M.A.(Wesleyan), P. Milson (Primitive), J. Vickridge (Free Methodist), J. Fordyee (Congregationalist), Henry Varley, Esq (London), the Rev. E.Lauderdale (pastor), etc. The new building is intended to take the place of one which had existed in Upper Burgess Street, immediately adjacent, for many years, and which has become too small for the necessities of the increasing members and congregations. The Chapel now in use will, on completion of the new structure, a converted into school classrooms, thus leaving almost the whole of the newly acquired site available for public worship. The new Chapel, designed by Mr Morton M. Glover, of London, will have an agreeable appearance, the front elevation in Victoria Street being in red brick with stone dressings. On each side of the principal entrance is a tower 66 ft high, the height of the gable being 52 ft. The length of the Chapel will be 88 ft, the width 58 ft and sitting accommodation will be provided for the rather more than 1,000 persons. It will be lighted by rose windows at each end, with circular headed windows at the sides. At the rear of the building are three small vestry rooms. The total cost of the building with the land (bought for £1,950), will be about £5,500. Mr John Brown is the contractor. The convenience of spectators a temporary platform had been constructed in the centre of the ground, and it was fully occupied by ladies and gentlemen.
After the devotional part of the ceremony, in which the Revs J. Fordyce, R. Posnett, and P. Milson took a leading part, the Rev. E Lauderdale, the pastor, read a succinct and interesting account of the establishment and progress of the Baptist cause in Grimsby. In 1822 it was first decided to hold Baptist meetings, the town then contain between 3,000 and 4,000 inhabitants. The Rev. A. Greenwood, of Killingholme, preached the first sermon. In 1823 it was decided to erect a chapel, and on 14 July 408 yd.² of land were purchased for that purpose, the Chapel being opened on 4 November in the same year, having only cost altogether £289 6s. The cause dwindled away, but afterwards revived, and admission to member ship by immersion was made for the first time on 18 February 1824 the next immersions being in 1826. In the latter year the church was formed of six persons, the Rev S. Marsdon, of Gainsborough, becoming the first pastor on 31 December 1826. In 1829 a Sunday school was opened on the site to be occupied by the new Chapel. The Rev. J. Burton and the Rev Robert Hogg were succeeding pastors, the latter now sleeping in the cemetery. He was followed by the Rev. Robert Smart, whose place was taken by himself (Mr Lauderdale) it May 1868, he then being a member of Mr Spurgeon's College. The number of numbers had increased from 78 to 207, at the city has had all been taken for the last five years. The Sunday school work had also been very prosperous, and the cry had long been, "Give us room." They had long been in straightened circumstances, but the request and necessity for more room would be answered by the new sanctuary.
The 211th hymn was then the sung, after which Mr Hewson, the senior deacon, said their gathering that day was a time of rejoicing to him. He was permitted to see the first stone of the old chapel late, and he remembered the first sabbath school being opened on that site of land. They then heard about the struggles of the Church had to pass through, but he thanked God they were about to lay the memorial stone of the new sanctuary to His honour and glory. He trusted that in the new building much good would be done, many souls saved, and God glorified. He had much pleasure and happiness in presenting to Mr Johnson a silver trowel on behalf of the members and congregation of the Upper Burgess Street Chapel. The trial, which was supplied by Mr W. White, jeweller, bore the following inscription: "To Richard Johnson, Esq, upon the occasion of laying the memorial stone of the Victoria Baptist Chapel, Grimsby, October 19, 1876."
Mr Johnson, having accepted the trowel amidst applause, said he almost wondered how it was that he was there that day, but from many years past he had been connected with the Baptist cause and it was his privilege to labour, sometimes in one way and sometimes in another, for the cause of Christ. He had to do with several small chapels, but he never thought it would come to his lot to receive a trowel with which to lay the memorial stone or so large a chapel as this. In the remarks made by Mr Lauderdale, he said it would not do anything to go back and commence with the history of the people calling themselves Baptists. He (the speaker) was very thankful he came to that conclusion, as it would have taken him all the week, for there was a great deal to be said on that very great question. They should remember that the "lives have fallen to us in very pleasant places." Sometimes success in religious things made people careless. The Baptists of 1876 were not those 200 years ago, the privileges of the present day being far in advance of theirs. Of course there were differences of opinion amongst them, but their minds did not look at things from the same point of view, but on the broader question of redemption he did not think a dozen of them would differ. They held their safety for time and eternity to the great sacrifice which was offered for the sins of the world. When they got down to the stream, whatever it might have been here, everything would float away, and on the other side they would all be found on the same platform, rejoicing together in the honour of the Lamb. He earnestly exhorted the young persons around him to grow up with the principles of the Gospel firmly rooted in their minds. He was anxious that the love of the gospel should be in the hearts of the young, its teachings being the same today as 200 years ago. He was glad to see the Baptists of Grimsby were at one of the Christians of other denominations, and that they had Wesleyans, Independents, and Primitives amongst them. The Church of Christ was not made of bricks and mortar, and they were not about to drift into ritualism and to the church of Rome. But on that question more would be said afterwards, and Mr Johnson then concluded an earnest address by thanking those of other denominations for their presence.
Mr J. Robson, the junior deacon, who had held that office upwards of 30 years, then placed in a cavity of the stone a bottle containing a copy of the Grimsby Observer, the Grimsby Herald, the Grimsby News, the Baptist, the Baptist Messenger, Mr Spurgeon's sermons, and some coins of the realm.
The ceremony of laying the stone was then performed by Mr Johnson, who declared the same to be "well and truly laid," after which he invited those present to place contributions upon it. He himself set the example by placing a cheque thereon, being his second contribution, he having some time ago presented a cheque for £25. A check for £10 was also placed on the stone in the name of another Mr Richard Johnson, of Manchester; £10 subscribed by the Bible class, and several smaller sums; the total amounted to about £120. The stone bears the following inscription:

The second part of the 118th Psalm was then the sung and a prayer offered by the Rev. J. H. Groves, M.A. after which the company was addressed by Mr Henry Varley, who was most cordially received, upon the foundation laid by the Lord Jesus Christ -- not the material but the spiritual foundation.
The following ladies and gentlemen subsequently laid some smaller stones at the rear of the Chapel, viz. Mr John E. Rushworth, Mr Herbert Dobson, Miss Clara Brown, Mrs Mary Walker, Mrs Lauderdale and Mr John B. Wrigley.
Immediately succeeding the ceremony a public tea meeting took place in the town hall. The tea which was of the most substantial character, was very largely attended, there being three successive companies at the tables, which were decorated by a profusion of flowers. The following ladies and gentlemen gave trays:- Mrs Lauderdale, Mrs John Brown, Mrs D Tong, Mrs Lamming, Mrs Ready, Mrs Stanley, Mr C. A. Wilkin, Mrs Lee, Mrs Parker, Mrs Walsh, Mrs J. Spashett, Mrs Marsh, Mrs J. Dobson Mrs Green and Mrs Bedford, Mrs Drakes, Mr W. White, Mrs Dawn, Dr Newby, Mr George Brown, Mrs G. Dobson, Mr Turner, Mr Hadfield, Mrs Richard Smith, Mrs Hall, Mrs Rushworth and Mrs C. Dobson. The following ladies all the also presided a different trays:- Mrs Cook, Miss G. Roberts, Miss Brown, Miss Godly, Mrs Marshall, Mrs Lello, Miss Bramwell, Miss Lister, Mrs Monds, Mrs J. Smith, Mrs Robinson, and Mrs Broughton.
After tea a public meeting was held. Ernest addresses were delivered by several ministers and friends, and also by Mr Varley, whose impassioned eloquence riveted the attention of the audience. The platforms beautified by plants lent by Mr John Wintrinham, to whom, as well as to the chairman, the speakers, and the ladies who presided at the tea, the customary vote of thanks were heartily accorded. We understand the proceeds of the tea were over £200, and collections at other special services have been liberal. Mrs Walker whose name appears amongst those who laid the smaller stones, is the oldest member of the church. The services have been very successful and committee also grateful for the valuable assistance they have received.

Mr Spurgeon and Grimsby.
The Opening of the New Baptist church, Victoria Street, Bloomsbury, is fixed for Tuesday, November 6th. The Rev. J. A. Spurgeon has kindly consented to preach the opening sermons morning and evening, and admission will be by ticket.
The Rev. C. H. Spurgeon informed the deputation, consisting of Messrs. J. Brown, G. S. Dobson, Orby Bradley, and Rev. E. Lauderdale, but he does that he dare not undertake any extra work at present from home, but he should consider his friends at Grimsby amongst the first of his engagements for 1878. The following letter has been received for publication by the Rev. E. Lauderdale: -
Clapham, October 19
Dear Friend Lauderdale, -- It is not possible for me to at your opening. I can barely keep on with home work, and cannot bear the excitement of the services you propose to me. I will visit Grimsby as soon as I feel able; meanwhile, may God bless you.
Yours heartily, C. H. Spurgeon
The gentleman who waited upon the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon have done well in securing the services of the Rev. J. A. Spurgeon, brother and co-pastor to the famous divine, who is also an eloquent preacher.

OPENING OF THE NEW BAPTIST TABERNACLE
A very important event, the opening of the new Baptist Tabernacle in Victoria Street Grimsby, took place on Tuesday last. The building is situated on a site extending from Victoria Street to which is the frontage, right through to lower Burgess Street.
The style adopted is Romanesque, and the materials are red brick relieved with black brick bands and Bath stone dressings. The principal features of the front are two towers, with strange (?) slated roofs, angled turrets and pinnacles; these form notable additions to Victoria Street, as they are 73 feet high from the pavement. Between them is the recessed central gable with a large richly traceried rose window, and below it, projecting nearly to the front of the towers, under a smaller gable is an open portico with two archways, wherein may be seen the memorial stone bearing the following inscription: This Memorial stone was laid by Richard Johnson, Esq of London, Oct. XIX, MDCCCLXXVI. Minister: E. Lauderdale. Norton M. Glover, architect. John Brown, builder.
There are also carved stone strings and gauges (?) on the front of the building. Internally the effect of space and good proportion is very striking. The ceiling, which is ornamented enriched panelled ribs, is supported on light iron columns, the centre part being raised and coved, thus giving an appearance of height which could not otherwise have been obtained in so large and wide a building. The benches on the ground floor (which are very comfortable and easy) are placed to converge the looks of the congregation on the pulpit and the seats in the galleries are arranged so as to give a good view of the preacher for every occupant. An organ gallery is recessed behind a large wide moulded arch in the back wall of the Chapel. The rostrum is exceedingly chaste, delicate, and beautiful in design. Nothing more could be desired in regard to the building as adapted to the great end of bringing the hearts of the preacher and hearer into unison with each other, so that their worship of the Living God might blend and rise into the sanctuary within the veil with the holier worship there. The pulpit has a semi-circular front with a railing of massive wooden colonnettes with crimson cloth behind them. The elevation is suited to the gallery and the body of the Chapel. The platform below is spacious and well suited for the various requirements of Divine Service as well as for public meetings, the solemnization of matrimony, etc. Two doors on the platform lead to the ministers, deacons, and ladies vestries, which are well arranged and fitted with every convenience. The Baptistery is lined with white enamelled tiles, and the entrance is gained by steps at each end. All the internal woodwork is constructed of the best selected pitch pine, varnished. The seats are open, with shaped and moulded bench ends, fitted with crimson cloth cushions, the work of the ladies of the congregation. The front of the gallery and the organ gallery are perforated the gaps being filled with dark crimson cloth which produces a happy effect. Ten iron columns support the gallery, and those also belonging to the ceiling are chastely decorated in blue, crimson and gold. The ground floor is magnificently lighted by brackets is fixed to and suspended from the gallery, and the upper portion by elaborately designed brackets branching from the iron columns, all decorated in blue, crimson and gold, in keeping with the other arrangements. The rose window at the front and the window behind the organ are glazed with ornamental coloured glass in bezel lights (?). The side windows have glass …(?) surrounded by blue coloured margins.
The size of the chapel is 66 feet by 38 feet 6 inches by 36 feet high, and will accommodate upwards of 1,000 persons, without reckoning seats in the aisles or standing room. There are six external doors to the building and four staircases to the galleries. The lighting, heating, ventilation had been carefully attended to, and the acoustic properties of the place are remarkably good. The whole has been tastefully finished, and the internal effect is pleasing from the well chosen and harmonious colours of the glass windows and decoration generally. The architect is Mr Morton M. Glover, of 9, Richfield (?) Street, London; and the work has been efficiently and thoroughly carried out by our fellow townsmen, Mr John Brown. The gas fittings were executed by Mr George Dobson in a most satisfactory manner.
OPENING SERVICES.
As already stated, the dedication services were held on Tuesday. The day was one of those dark, damp, and dirty November days and doubtless hindered many from being in attendance. At early morning (seven o'clock) the esteemed preacher, the Rev. E. Lauderdale, conducted a prayer meeting at which there was a numerous gathering. The proceedings were characterised with much spiritual fervour. At the morning service the seats were comfortably filled. The preacher was the Rev. J. P. Spurgeon, brother of the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon, of the Metropolitan Tabernacle. This gentleman commenced the service with a most effective prayer for the divine blessing upon the work of the sanctuary. The service was throughout most hearty and enjoyable. The tunes for the hymns had been chosen with much musical judgement and was such as to admit of real congregational psalmody. The lesson is selected was the joyful and soul ennobling words of Isaiah Ch 32, the difficult passages of which were clearly and appropriately explained. Before announcing his text, the Rev. gentleman remarked that it was on the opening of a new edifice for public worship for the preacher to dwell on its excellence. He would address himself to the people rather than the place feeling more concerned about the worshippers than the building they worshipped in. He announced text from Nehemiah chapter 8 verse 10, "The joy of the Lord is your strength." He said they had been building a temple for God a new place where the old one had been situated it was just the same with the people of Israel. The old Temple had been the finest and best, and one of the most beautiful in the world had ever seen. It had been laid desolate, and after being in captivity they had come back to the task of rebuilding. Some of those looking at the new one were very sad hearted at the new temple not being equal to the old one. They were downcast and fearful as to what God would be likely to do. Then it was the prophet addressed them the words, "The joy of the Lord is your strength." That day was holy to the Lord for them. It gave them an assurance that the joy of the Lord was their strength. After speaking of the popular idea of the monotonous character of religion, claiming the Christians equal and greater joys than those of worldlings he dwelt on (1) Joy and (2) How it is our strength. Joy of the Lord is defined to be joy from the Lord, joy in the Lord, and joy like the Lords. The discourse was most effective, and was listened to with the greatest attention.
In the afternoon a public tea was given in the Town Hall. Upwards of 1,500 tickets had been sold by the committee who had charge of the arrangements. Ample provision had been made, and the display was most creditable. The attendance was large, the entrance to the hall at five o'clock -- the appointed hour -- being flocked, and the staircase thronged with anxious expectation. Many were compelled to return home for a short (?) while (?). The service in the evening began at seven o'clock, and was conducted by the Rev. J. A. Spurgeon. Long before the time mentioned the Tabernacle was filled, and, as the preacher remarked when accepting the collection, it received "a good warming and testing." Every pew, the forms placed in the aisles, and all standing room was occupied by "eager anxious throng." Mr Spurgeon again offered prayers, and read the lesson from Isaiah 53. His delivery was plain, earnest, and forcible, and appealing to the inner feelings of his hearers. He was always instructive and edifying and at times full of wit and sarcasm. With commendable brevity he selected for his text the words, "And Jesus walked with God; and he was now (?), for God took (?) him." He said Christ when on earth was the centre of a wide extended circle. Outside the circle were the Pharisees, scribes, and Jewish lawyers seeking to catch him in his words. Some listened out of curiosity, and to make sport; others came because they had heard of the miracles which had been brought; others for the loaves and fishes that he gave them when they were hungry; others to hear his wondrous teaching for him it was said, "Never man spake like this man," and to examine and investigate for themselves whether he spoke that which was true. But inside the circle there were true believers who had dedicated themselves to Christ. He called them by his (?) name, and they looked to him for resurrection. Five hundred of these brethren the Master revealed himself to after the resurrection. Still nearer to Christ would just a few like Peter, James and John who went with him wherever he went, to the Mount when he was transfigured to the house of Judah (?) when the daughter was raised from the dead, the garden of Gethsemane, and whenever he went wherever he went they were close to their Lord, and that was the place where he wanted them to keep. Of these it might be said they walked with God, and he (the speaker) would have each one present to do day by day. Enoch walked with God. He was in the inner circle, not outside. The preacher then showed that the peculiarity of Enoch's case was not that he was walking, but that he walked with God. In the next place he dwelt on the fact that Enoch had not always do this. The change took place about the age of 65 years, when Methuselah was born. Involved in the walking was the finding out of God. In following afterwards that he was an exceedingly holy man. The preacher also dwelt on the length of time (300 years) that Enoch walked with God, and the blessing that followed to his child Methuselah, for the promise was to them and to their children. He concluded with an admiral peroration urging his hearers to consecrate themselves to Christ, reminding them that “Now is the accepted time," and calling upon them to decide at once to walk with Christ and lead a life of faith on earth and enter into his glory in heaven. Collections were taken at the close of each service, the proceeds realising a total of about £190, including the tea.
The following ladies and gentlemen gave the trainees, at which the ladies named presided: -- Mrs Westin, Mr Bates, Mrs Parker, Mrs Parker, Mrs Squires, Mrs Dawn, Mrs Drewry, Mr S.

Baptism of Maggie, Edward and Alice Lauderdale into the Church of England
Maggie, Edward and Alice Lauderdale were all baptised on the same occasion (29 Jul 1894) by Edward, Bishop of Lincoln. Their father Edward Lauderdale had converted from being a Baptist to the Church of England in late 1893 and been ordained. It was therefore appropriate that his children should be baptised into the Church of England. As the baptism was carried out by the Bishop of Lincoln it may have been a prelude to a Confirmation Service. Interestingly Edward's wife Mary Jane who was Baptist doe not appear to have converted to the Church of England.

Great Grimsby Old Cemetery
[Ainslie Street/Doughty Road]
by Brenda Coulson 14/8/2015 edited by Jack Ward 4/7/2022 after removal of photographs in original article
The majority of this information has been gleaned from Newspaper articles, many of which were written by Mr G Black in the 1960's. A summary of his articles are reproduced here with his permission.
There are newspaper reports and anecdotal evidence that by the mid 1840's the burial ground surrounding St James' Church, as a result of flooding and overcrowding, was becoming a health hazard. There are several letters to the local newspapers reflecting the unhappiness of local residents regarding the smell and sight of body parts rising to the surface. This was not just a local situation; there are reports from several other towns and as a result the Burial Act of 1854 was passed through Parliament.
As reported in the Grimsby Gazette 27th July 1855 the Great Grimsby Cemetery was created. The Great Grimsby Council obtained eight and a half acres of land at a cost of £2,500, off Ainslie Street, and to the South of the town. The burial ground was designated as Ainslie Street Cemetery. The Entrance Lodge was built of brick with stone dressings to comfortably accommodate the Superintendent at the entrance to the ground. The Dead House was a separate building to the right of the carriage drive; the windows were in the roof to discourage morbid curiosity.
The ground was divided in two halves of almost equal size and two chapels built - an Episcopalian Chapel and a Dissenters Chapel. The two chapels looked different from the outside but the floor plans are identical.1
On July 24th 1855 the Bishop and Dignitaries met and the Episcopalian section was consecrated. This is well reported in The Grimsby Gazette of Friday 27th July 1855 and in an article written by George Black and published in the Evening Telegraph Tuesday 7th January 1992. It was a splendid sight with a procession of dignitaries from St James' Church to the ground.
The Newspaper (Gazette 1855) reports that an opportunist thief had entered the Town Hall and stolen several articles. The reports show that he was a cheeky man, as a few days later a letter was received at the Town Hall from London, giving his name and explaining that he hadn't taken the Mayoral Chain as the newspaper report of the opening had recorded that the chain was gilt. He was never apprehended.
The first interment of George Smithson took place on August 4th 1855, and within the first year 162 burials took place of which 48 were children.
However by September 1855 there is a letter to the Gazette from a man who went for a stroll in the grounds. He complained that the authorities had allowed a local Alderman to stock the ground with sheep. These sheep were damaging the mounds on which the Chapels were built and also the new graves. The full Council Meeting voted to cease this practice and the mounds were repaired.
From the outset there were problems with drainage within the cemetery, and complaints particularly from the Methodists who felt that they had been disadvantaged as the Established Church had been given the higher ground and were less affected by the drainage problems. A newspaper article in the Grimsby Telegraph dated October 1st 1980 gave a summary of the reasons for the insertion of a wind operated Pump. The water was drained into a catchment tank and then pumped it into an external drain.
There were some very fine memorial stones in the ground; mainly Atkinson Memorials
In 1857, according to a report in the council minutes and reported in the Grimsby Gazette, the number of prostitutes operating in the town had increased significantly. The women were operating both inside the town and within the walled cemetery. Councillor Smethurst reported to the Council that due to the large number of fishermen frequenting the cemetery a detachment of Police would be needed to remove the men.2
By 1869 the number of burials had risen to 3,604. This was not surprising as there had been a rapid increase in population, due in the main to the growth of the docks, and the need to accommodate the construction workers with their families. The mortality rate for Grimsby in 1869 was 20.5 per 1,000 population. This was quickly followed by the arrival of the railways and the massive increase in the fishing trade during the 1860's. In 1889 a new Cemetery of 29 acres was created on Scartho Road, thereby relieving the pressure on the now renamed Doughty Road Cemetery. The rapid growth of the town had led to the little lane from Ainslie Street being expanded and named Doughty Road.
The number of burials slowly decreased and by the turn of the century they were reduced to less than 100 per year. In 1911 the total was 14,500 which is not far short of the final total in 1943 of 14,821 entries. However due to the confusion over missed and duplicated entry numbers in book two there were only 14,743 actual burials [a difference of 78].
The heavy bombing of the docks resulted in an unknown quantity of Butterfly bombs landing in the cemetery and for safety reasons the cemetery was closed. It was however reopened to allow a further seven burials to take place all in family plots. The final burial was of Mary Elizabeth Markham on January 9th 1943.
In 1944 a young boy was killed by an unexploded bomb whilst playing in the cemetery. As a result the council were required to once more bring in the bomb disposal unit to clear the ground. In 1946 flame throwers were used to clear the anti personnel mines from Doughty Road Cemetery with a view to reopening the ground for family members. The decision to reopen was deferred and never re-discussed. Several other attempts had been made however, as reported in the Grimsby Telegraph of 8th November 1947. The No 1 Bomb Disposal Unit from Killingholme spent eight weeks attempting to finally clear the ground of any unexploded bombs. What is of interest here is that the unit brought with them German Prisoners of War who used mine detectors to find the metal. It was not easy as there were broken metal railings and metal vases hidden in the vegetation around the neglected graves.
For about ten years the ground was left largely untouched, vandals damaged the memorials, vagrants and travellers used the grounds with the result that the area had become an eyesore. The walls were falling down and it was not possible to secure the area; it was in fact an area of wilderness. The council had to make some decisions regarding the future of the ground and in the mid 1950's developed a plan to convert the ground into an open area of reflection and remove the walls and the memorials. The open ground would not be used for development as parts of it remained consecrated. The Jewish community chose to exhume the remains of all known bodies and rebury them in a single plot in The Jewish Cemetery at Nunsthorpe, Grimsby.
This resulted in many letters to the Grimsby Telegraph but in October 1957 there being only one objector to the scheme, a Doctor W A Elwood, the Council issued an order to proceed with the necessary work. The full details of the debate were published in the Grimsby Evening Telegraph 16th October 1958. Relatives could, if they wished, remove their Memorials, otherwise they would be rendered unidentifiable, demolished and could be used as foundation stones.3
In 1959 the bulldozers were brought in and the entire ground cleared. The resulting ground was turfed over and became an open ground for reflection or a Garden of Rest. In 2015 the area of the cemetery remains an open space. The area between the cemetery and Ainslie Street has a children's play area and a Scout's Hut occupies part of the ground.
In 1988 the ground was disturbed by workmen installing pipe work and bones were exposed. This was always to be expected but people had become so used to the open recreational area they had forgotten its history. There was some further disturbance when Peakes Parkway was created.
There were some interesting memorials in This Ground the most intriguing is the stone which reads:-
In Memory of two women and eight children of the Jewish persuasion, the beloved friends of the Jewish Congregation of Grimsby who died during the years of 1870 and 1879. May their souls rest in Peace
There is a newspaper article in the Grimsby Telegraph, 3rd July 1958 which informs us that Rebecca and Deborah Baranov, and Bertha Emily Hyman were three of these people but who the remaining woman and five children were is as yet unknown. There are stones in the cemetery for these three persons, however the Baranov stone gives the name Regina not Rebecca, who died May 7 1871 aged 25 with her infant daughter April 18th 1871 aged 11 months. Bertha Hyam of Sheffield died August 13th 1880 aged 11 years. I am not convinced that these three women were part of the 12 Women and children.
The newspaper repeats local anecdotal evidence that they all died from some disease which struck whilst travelling on a ship from Russia. At that time there wasn't a Jewish Cemetery in Grimsby and it was deemed too dangerous to take them to Hull, which was the nearest Jewish Cemetery. The disease is speculated to be either Cholera or Smallpox. The bodies were exhumed when Doughty Road Cemetery was cleared in 1957 and the remains reinterred in consecrated ground at the Jewish Cemetery in Nunsthorpe.

Baptism of Maggie, Edward and Alice Lauderdale into the Church of England
Maggie, Edward and Alice Lauderdale were all baptised on the same occasion (29 Jul 1894) by Edward, Bishop of Lincoln. Their father Edward Lauderdale had converted from being a Baptist to the Church of England in late 1893 and been ordained. It was therefore appropriate that his children should be baptised into the Church of England. As the baptism was carried out by the Bishop of Lincoln it may have been a prelude to a Confirmation Service. Interestingly Edward's wife Mary Jane who was Baptist doe not appear to have converted to the Church of England.

Their father Edward Lauderdale had converted from being a Baptist to the Church of England in late 1893 and been ordained. It was therefore appropriate that his children should be baptised into the Church of England. As the baptism was carried out by the Bishop of Lincoln it may have been a prelude to a Confirmation Service. Interestingly Edward's wife Mary Jane who was Baptist doe not appear to have converted to the Church of England.
