Appendix II

The Wranghams of the Island of Saint Helena

The library of the Society of Genealogists, in London, holds a typescript copy of some notes on the Wrangham family of Saint Helena by 'E.F.M.', dated February 18th 1939 at San Diego, California, USA(107). The following is an adaptation:

Foreword

The notes following, on the Wrangham family of St. Helena, are based upon data supplied by G.C. Kitching, Esq., O.B.E., Government Secretary, Jamestown, St. Helena, and by Miss L.M. Anstey, of the India Office, Whitehall, London S.W.1.

Some of the dates given on a tombstone in Jamestown Cemetery do not always agree with the dates shown in the Church Registers or in the records of the India Office. Inasmuch as the tombstone was erected after the events of death and burial, the dates shown in the inscription are, no doubt, less accurate than those which appear in the Church Registers or in the India Office Records.

For a very readable and well documented account of the Island, see:

Gosse, Philip:
'St. Helena, 1502 - 1938';
London: Cassell, 1938.

William Wrangham. B. January 1st 1731/2. Appointed 'Writer' at Saint Helena on November 11th 1756, Factor in 1771, to the Council in 1774, 1776, 1780 and 1782, and 'First in Council', also at Saint Helena,in 1792. Married November 25th 1760 Elizabeth Draper (who may be the E. Wrangham who appears as a witness to Amelia Wrangham's 2nd marriage). Issue:

Amelia Wrangham. B. July 22nd 1762. This is Miss Emma Wrangham, 'that celebrated St. Helena Belle'(110), 'a fine dashing girl, not by any means a regular beauty but an uncommonly elegant figure and person; remarkably clever and highly inteligent. Her natural flow of spirits frequently led her into extravagance and follies...; instead of seating herself like other women on horseback she rode like a man astride, and would leap over any hedge or ditch that even the most zealous sporstman were dubious of attempting. She rode several matches and succeeded against the best and most experienced jockeys. She was likewise an excellent shot, rarely missing her bird; understood the present fashionable science of pugilism and would without hesitation knock a man down if he presumed to offer her the slightest insult; in short, she stopped at nothing that met her fancy, executing whatever she attempted with a naiveté and ease and elegance that was irresistible.'
She 'kept the gossips busy for ten years at least and enjoyed their malice as much as anything else. Francis, leaving India, mentions four possibles in a letter to a friend, Livius; "if you have literally married the Wrangham, or if Mackenzie should have married her, or Collings, or Archdekin...", he wrote. And her name was coupled with several more in the Bengal Gazette, the witty scurrilous paper for which William Hickey's much-imprisoned namesake Augustus Hicky was so often in trouble. Miss Wrangham was a godsend to this paper, in whose columns all the notables of Calcutta appeared by nicknames; she was the Chinsura belle, or Turban Conquest, or Hookah Turban - she must have smoked a hookah for a bet - and she is mentioned with great regularity in such items as:

"Public Notice: Lost on the Course, last Monday evening, Buxey Clumsy's heart, whilst he stood simpering at the footstep of Hookah Turban's carriage....

Several of her beaux are identifiable under various offensive aliases. Durzee being a tailor, as everyone knows from Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, John Taylor must have been Pigdanny Durgee, who is adjured to:

"Sit cross legged on thy Board of Trade...
Drive Emma W-m from thy head..."'

In the end she married at Chinsura on May 27th 1782 John Bristow (died October 20th 1802, aged 52, and buried at the Great Burial Ground in Calcutta)(111), senior merchant in the Honourable East India Company's service, son of John Bristow(112) (died 1770), Governor of the South Sea Company, Director of the Bank of England, M.P. for Beevalston (1754) and Arundel (1761), of Quidenham Hall, Norfolk, and his wife Anne Judith Foissin (died September 19th 1788, aged 86)(113). 'At the time she left India she had by him 4 lovely children, the proper education of whom was her chief motive for... embarking for Europe.'(114) After his death she married 2ndly at Saint Mary le Bone, Middlesex, on December 27th 1804 James Williams, Esq., of Saint Giles in the Fields. Issue from 1st marriage(115):

John Charles Bristow. Baptised Bengal Presidency January 13th 1785. In the Bengal Civil Service.

Amelia Bristow. Baptised Bengal Presidency January 13th 1785.

Charlotte Louisa Bristow. Baptised Bengal Presidency January 10th 1787.

Maria Eliza Bristow. Baptised Bengal Presidency December 16th 1788. Died December 17th 1788 and buried at the Great Burial Ground in Calcutta(116).

Sophia Wrangham. B. February 17th 1766/7. Married August 6th 1786 Alexander Macleod, Esq., of Madras. With issue, 'a numerous family of children'(117).

Elizabeth Wrangham. Born August 6th 1768 and baptised the following September 4th. Married at Saint Helena March 28th 1784 Ralph Dundas, Esq., of the Honourable East India Company maritime service.

William Wrangham. Born February 21st 1770 and baptised the following April 1st. Died December 30th 1774 and buried the following day.

Charlotte Wrangham. Born June 6th 1772 and baptised the following August 28th. Married November 24th 1790 Captain John Ulric Collins, of the Honourable East India Company service.

Jane Wrangham. Died April 7th 1774 and buried the following day.

Rebecca Wrangham? Buried May 29th 1778. Other particulars not known.

Miscellaneous notes:

Marriage - December 17th 1718, Lucas Mason, Bachelor (Governor's Steward) and Eliza Wrangham, Spinster.

Some notes on the Wrangham family appeared in Notes and Queries,

vol. 171, pp. 406, 442;
vol. 172, pp. 88, 160, 303, 338;
vol. 173, p. 33;
vol. 176, p. 213.

It is possible that additional data on the Wrangham family may appear later in the same periodical (?).

A print of 'Rosemary Hall, on the Island of St. Helena, the seat of William Wrangham, Esqr.' was published by J. Sewell, October 1st 1797.
