Husband:
Charles Leonard Maskall (1879-1955)
Wife:
Rebecca Harriet Dowell (1880-1961)
Children:
Rebecca Alice Maskall (1900-1980)
Elise Caoline Maskall (1902- )
Charles Edward Maskall (1904- )
Marriage:
8 Apr 1900
St Andrew's Church1
Address: Hoxton, London
Thomas was the bride's father and Caroline was her sister. It is known that Thomas was her father (as opposed to her brother Thomas who was only 16 at the time) because he signed the register with his mark X whereas her brother was literate. It was slightly unusual to have the bride's father as a witness but perhaps it was because she was pregnant (her daughter Rebecca's was born the day after the marriage). Why the Groom did not have a relative or friend as a witness is not known. Perhaps his parents did not approve of the bride and the marriage was a 'forced' one. Never the less it is highly likely that other members of both families were present.
Census for household:
31 Mar 1901
Shoreditch, London2
Address: 48 Gopsall Street
They now had a one year old daughter Rebecca. The census shows that the family lived in a single room, the remainder of the house being occupied by another family and a boarder who do not appear to be related. Where they washed and cooked defies imagination but perhaps they had an arrangement with the principal family.
Census for household:
2 Apr 1911
Hackney, London3
Address: 35 de Beauvoir Crescent
The household consisted of Charles, his wife Rebecca and their three children Rebecca (age 10), Elise (age 9) and Charles (age 6). The family had 2 rooms in an 8 roomed house which they shared with three other families. In all 17 people lived there and the conditions must have been very crowded.
Census for household:
19 Jun 1921
Islington, London4
Address: 17 Oxford Road
The household consisted of Charles, his wife Rebecca, their children Rebecca (age 21), Elsie (age 19) and Charles (age 16), and a lodger Albert Cornish who married Charles' daughter Rebecca three weeks later. They lived in four rooms and shared the house with another family of 12 who had 5 rooms.
1939 Register (Household):
29 Sep 1939
Islington, London5
Address: 17 Elizabeth Avenue
The household consisted of Charles, his wife Rebecca and their son Charles who was unmarried. Charles (senior) is shown as a stretcher bearer. They shared the house with Albert and Rebecca Cornish and their daughter Elsie. Rebecca Cornish was Charles and Rebecca Maskall's daughter. Although they all lived in the same house it would appear that the two families maintained separate households.
Name:
Charles Leonard Maskall
Sex:
Male
Father:
Charles Edward Maskall ( - )
Mother:
Jane Eliza Fewtrell ( - )
Birth:
11 May 1879
Hackney, Middlesex6
Address: 9 Ufton Grove
The register entry for his baptism gives his date of birth, his parents names and where they lived. It is assumed that he was born there.
Baptism:
1 Jun 1879 (age 0)
St Peter de Beauvoir Town7
Address: Shoreditch, Middlesex
Who else was present is not known but probably the service was attended by his grandparents and his two older sisters Rebecca and Elise.
Occupation:
btw 1894 and 1947 (age 14-68)
The 1901, 1911 and 1921 Censuses, the Register entry for his marriage, and the 1939 Register show this as his occupation. It is assumed that he was apprenticed around the age of 14 and continued working until he was nearly 70. The varying areas in which his children were born show that he moved around and he may have changed employer as the need arose. He worked on the restoration of the House of Commons after it was bombed by the Germans in the 1939-45 war. He also made plaster bas-reliefs of the wartime leaders Prime Minister Churchill, General Montgomery and the Russian General Timoshenko which were displayed on the kitchen table of their basement flat at 57 Binfield Road, Stockwell . Each bas-relief was circular, about 18" in diameter, and beautifully coloured whilst the plaster was still wet. This was much to his wife's annoyance as he would get up in the night to work on them and wake her up to give her a cup of tea. It must have been messy as well! Jack does not know whether he made any other decorative plasterwork at home or what happened to these particular items. Their most likely fate was that they were left behind when the houses in Binfield Road were requisitioned by Lambeth Borough Council to build blocks of flats and destroyed when the houses were demolished.
Charles must have admired General Timoshenko as their tabby cat was named Timoshenko or Timmy for short.

Rebecca's sister Alice told her son Jack that Aunt Becky had been trained as a presser. Her training probably started around the age of 14 but she appears to have given it up by the time of the 1901 Census presmably to look after her child. It is also likely that her husband Charles was earning good money as a plasterer.

Reminiscences of Alice Eleanor Dowell (7)
By her son, Jack Ward
1Introduction
My mother never wrote anything down about her own life. The only documents which survive are a few photographs, one of her case books which she kept as a midwife and a telephone numbers book from the late 1940s. Thus this memoir is based entirely on my recollection of what she said when she talked about her past.
I always called her Mum and although she died in 1987 I still think of her in this way. In places I have supplemented Mum's reminiscences with some of my own memories or material gleaned from researching my family history in order to make a more coherent memoir. This means that some of the material is also repeated in my autobiography As I Remember It. In these notes I refer to my mother as Alice when recording her reminiscences or supplementary information from research, and my mother or Mum when recording my own reminiscences. A similar distinction is made when referring to other people.
2Childhood
2.1Her Father
Her father, Thomas, was a carrier (carman) who drove a horse and cart. As a little girl she was taken to the stables to see the horses which were probably shires as she recalls walking underneath them. Walking under them seems improbable but obviously under her father's supervision she came close to them and they were very docile. Almost certainly the stables were fairly close to where they lived as it has been noted from census returns that some of their neighbours were also carmen. Given his background he was an almost certainly an employee; this view is reinforced by Alice's birth certificate which gives journeyman carman as his occupation.
One of his jobs was delivering vegetables to London hotels and, when there were banquets, Mum and her sisters, could earn extra pocket money (½d.) preparing vegetables at home such as tiny beans. The children's regular pocket money was a halfpenny given to them by their father on Saturday and a farthing given to them by their mother on Sunday. Mum said they spent it on sweets and perhaps saved for a small toy which could be bought from a local shop for a few pence.
I never knew my Grandfather as he died of a heart attack in 1919. Towards the end of his life he had a variety of other jobs so it seems that the rise in motor transport spelt the end of most horse drawn delivery and put many carmen who could not drive a motor vehicle out of work.
2.2Her Mother
Her mother, Rebecca who I called Grandma, could not read or write but was very good at mental arithmetic. She could beat the shopkeeper with the speed with which she added up the bill and frequently challenged the shopkeepers total. Inevitably she was right.
I have two memories of my Grandmother. The first was someone in a black dress which came down to the ground carrying a black Dorothy Bag. Mum said that she doted on me and would give me fruit which she had in her Dorothy Bag. The second was her lying on a chaise lounge with her eyes closed and me trying to wake her up. Later Mum confirmed my memories and told me that she had had a stroke and was unconscious for three days before she died. She died on Christmas Day in 1936. As I was only 2¾ at the time I am surprised that I have any memories of her at all.
2.3Her Siblings
Alice had 9 brothers and sisters and one adopted sister, Louisa Fippen. On her mothers instance all the children (including the girls) were apprenticed to a trade. With such a large family the children had to help with the household chores. It is almost certain that the older ones had to help with the younger ones although Mum never specifically said that they did. Mum's and her adopted sister's job was to help with turning the mangle on wash day which was traditionally a Monday. If it was Monday I can't help wondering what happened in term time when the children went to school. Did her mother get up very early to light the copper, boil the water and wash the clothes in time for the girls to mangle them before they went to school? Maybe if she wanted to get them dry possibly in time for some of the other girls to help with the ironing when they came home from school or, after the age of 12, work.
Rebecca.
Louisa (Fippen). Adoption was not formalised until the 1920s and Louisa (or Aunt Lou as I knew her) was simply taken in when her own parents were unable to look after her. Why this was is not clear but Mum said that Aunt Lous mother became terminally ill and asked Mums mother to take care of Louisa. Adoption was not legalised until the 1920s; The date of her adoption is uncertain. She is not recorded as living in the Dowell household at the time of the 1901 Census but she and Alice shared a bedroom, played together and had to turn the mangle together on washdays. Alice greatly admired Louisas hair which was thick and coarse and could be easily curled with rag ties and for special occasions the addition of a solution of sugar and water. Alices hair was very fine and straight and was almost impossible to curl even with the addition of sugar solution. As a girl Louisa had a temper and would pull Mums hair.
William, her twin brother. Uncle Bill (or Big Will as I knew him) was born half an hour after Mum and according to Mum was much smaller. If she ever told me their respective weights I dont remember them but certainly the difference in their physical attributes was marked. Mum was tall and Uncle Bill was short although they were both slim until Mum gave up riding a bicycle in 1950 when she put on weight.
In 1914 when World War I broke out he was 18. At the time there was great patriotic fever and young men rushed to join up. Young men who didnt were usually given a white feather (mostly anomalously) by young girls. Mum said that after receiving a white feather Uncle Bill lied about his age in order to join up. He was subsequently gassed and was invalided out. The Germans were the first to use chlorine gas as an offensive weapon. Initially our soldiers did not have gas masks and after the first attacks had had devastating results they were instructed to urinate on a cloth and tie it over their nose and mouth. This would have prevented or mitigated damage to their lung but their eyes must have been serious affected. What little I knew about Uncle Bills war service was told to me by Mum. He would never talk to me about it. When I asked him he would say, “You dont want to hear about it,” or words to that effect and it wasnt until many years later when I read Akenfield: Portrait of an English Village by the historian Ronald Blythe that I appreciated why he didnt wish to talk about his experiences. From his Medal Card in the National Archives I have been able to find out some details of his war service.
He joined the 4th Battalion of the London Regiment whose headquarters was at Shoreditch which is where the family were living at the time. As his other military records appear to have been destroyed in the fire at the War Office in 1940 there is no way of knowing exactly when he joined up or when he was discharged. However, his first (of three) regimental numbers was 4205 which was issued between 5th May 1915 which was when 4110 was allocated and 15th June 1915 when 4486 was allocated. When the battalion was re-numbered in March 1917 men were allocated numbers within the range 280001 to 300000; Uncle Bills was 281670. The Battalion was sent to France in August 1914 so Uncle Bill would, after a period of initial training, been sent to France probably in July or August 1915 and was still there in 1917. His third regimental number was 6549702. This entry is TF (Territorial Force) and is explained by a note on the back of the card referring to a letter dated 26.2.21 from the GOC (General Officer Commanding) 56th London Division submitting the roll of individuals entitled to medals. It would therefore appear that he was transferred to the 56th London Division when it was reformed in January 1916 in France. It began to concentrate in the Hallencourt area on 5 February and was largely completed by 21 February. It then remained in France and Flanders and took part in the following engagements:
The diversionary attack at Gommecourt (1 July)*The Battle of Ginchy (9 September)* The Battle of Flers-Courcelette (15 -22 September)*The Battle of Morval (25-27 September)* in which the Division captured ComblesThe Battle of the Transloy Ridges (11 - 9 October)* * the battles marked * are phases of the Battles of the Somme 1916
One of the puzzles was that he was only awarded the Victory Medal and the British Medal. He was not awarded either the 1914-18 Star which was issued to all (approximately 2,336,000) who saw service in any theatre of conflict between 5 August 1914 and 31 December 1915, or the 1914 Star which was only awarded to members of the British Expeditionary Force. Was this an oversight? It would certainly appear so and in view of his attitude to the war he almost certainly had no interest in applying for it.
He never married which is slightly surprising as he survived WW1 and after the war there were many more girls of marriageable age than men. Alice said that he had been engaged and had even bought 'the home' by which she meant furniture when he discovered that his fiancée was seeing someone else. He broke off the engagement, sold all the furniture he had bought and continued to live with his mother.
Later he took his sister by adoption, Louisa, out but nothing came of it as he said that, 'She hadn't two words to rub together'. After they fell out over a hot water bottle he never spoke to her again unless it was absolutely essential although they lived in the same house.
He was an upholsterer by trade having served a full apprenticeship before WW I. He returned to the trade after the war but the dust affected his breathing badly especially as he had been gassed during the war. He also smoked which would have also contributed to his breathing problems but at that time it was not appreciated the deleterious effect that smoking had on health. Indeed at times it was positively encouraged as being beneficial in calming the nerves and most men smoked. He had to give up the upholstery trade and through the good offices of the Rev. Dalton who had been the vicar of the church he attended as a boy and was now a Minor Canon at St Pauls cathedral was able to obtain a job as a guide at St Pauls. The exact date is not known but it was probably in the early 1930s.
In WW2 his job as a guide was considered non-essential and he was directed to work on the London Underground. His first job was manning the floodgates where the Northern Line ran under the Thames. Later he had a job as a ticket collector and then as a ticket inspector. However, he did not serve his links with St Paul's Cathedral completely as at night he was a fire watcher and helped to put out an incendiary bomb which came through the roof. He returned to his old job as a guide in 1946. His favourite job was a guide in the Whispering Gallery and he made a recording of the talk he used to give to visitors. However, as he grew older he found the climb to the whispering gallery a bit too much and he was employed on the bookstall. He was able to get tickets for national events held at the cathedral such as the service of thanksgiving held at the end of WW II which was attended by King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. I had an aisle seat for that service. He could also get a viewing position overlooking Ludgate Hill to see the Lord Mayor's Procession and once he took me all the way up to the cylinder under the cross on top of the dome in which there were small windows; the view was tremendous.

2.4The Goat Cart
The children had a small cart drawn by a goat. I dont know where the goat was kept but apparently it was quite a pet and Arthur was responsible for its care. However, the children fed it so much that its belly nearly touched the ground!
3Time as a Novice Nun
She entered St Margarets Convent, East Grinsted, which is a Church of England convent, as a novice. The reason for her entry are unclear but she would have had to be very religious and felt she had a vocation to do so. Almost certainly the arrangements would have been made through her parish priest. Research has shown that in the early 1900s the family attended St Saviours Church in Hoxton and several members of the family were baptised, presumably were confirmed and were married there. St Saviour was very High Church and was associated with the Catholic Revival within the Church of England, despite opposition from the Bishop of London, which resulted in an episcopal ban on the parish following a Corpus Christi procession in August 1917. St Saviour's became the focus for the movement for reunion with Rome known as the Confraternity of Unity when its secretariat was established at St Saviour's in 1929. The Church was badly damaged during the 2nd World War and never reopened. It is possible that the High Church ritual may have turned her thoughts towards entering a convent which was no doubt encouraged by her by her parish priest who almost certainly made the arrangements for her to do so. Later became a Minor Canon at St Pauls Cathedral. I cannot remember his name but remember meeting him when I was about 12 after a commemoration service at St Pauls. To me he appeared to be very old.
Mum rarely spoke about her life in the convent but I had the impression that it was regimented, strict and hard. As she was not able to bring a dowry she was employed on domestic duties. Those who could bring a dowry undertook more gentile tasks such as needlework. She told me that she slept in a cell which in winter was bitterly cold; if she woke up feeling snug and warm in bed she was supposed to get out, kneel on the cold floor and say a prayer. When I asked her if she did, she replied “Of course.”
When her sister Louisa became ill with the Spanish flu her father insisted that she left the Convent to help with the care of her sisters children. I gather there was an argument between her father and the Mother Superior over her leaving. She never returned to the convent and eventually trained as a midwife. I have been unable the determine the exact dates of her entering and leaving the Convent. I wrote to the Mother Superior on two separate occasions asking for information but never received a reply so I have to infer the dates from other sources. Her sister Louisa died on 28th October 1918 so she must have left the Convent around this time (she was 22 at the time). When she entered is more difficult. According to the 1911 Census (taken when she was 14) she was employed as a cracker maker. I don't think the Convent would have accepted her before she was 18 and then only on the recommendation of her parish priest and with her parents' permission; it could have been as late as when she was 21 if she entered against her parents wishes.
4Looking After Louisa's Children
By all accounts Louisa's husband was a neer-do-well who was either a philanderer or a drunkard - perhaps both! Although Mum said she looked after her sister's children (and I had the impression there were two) she only talked about Eddie. I know she was proud of Eddie who became a Lieutenant Colonel in the army. Given their circumstances he must have worked his way up rather than entering the army as a cadet. However, I remember a cousin called Ethel who I called Aunt Ethel as she was much older than I was. She called Mum Aunt Alice. As a boy we saw a lot of Aunt Ethel and her family and she was obviously close to Mum and I have since found out that she was the other child of Louisa. Mum almost certainly looked after Louisa's children at her parents' house as there would certainly not have been any additional income to do so. I do not know how long she looked after them; presumably until they left home.
Alice Elenor Dowell never wrote anything down about her own life. The only documents which survive are a few photographs, one of her case books which she kept as a midwife and a telephone numbers book from the late 1940s. The memoir is based entirely on her son Jack's recollection of what she said when she talked about her past supplemented by his family history research.

Although the certificate was issued in the name of Rebecca Alice Maskall her birth was registered as, and she was christened as, Rebecca Harriet Maskall. However, Maskall is an unusual surname and as her age, late husband's name and occupation, and son's name are correct it is considered that this is the correct registration.
