GENERATION
One
GEORGE
COVINGTON (2617). Born: about 1552 in Bedford, Bedfordshire. Father: not known
(0). Mother: not known (0). Mar: 13 Mar
1576 in
Bedford St Paul, Bedford, Bedfordshire to Wilbow, Elizabeth (3994). Died:
during 1613 in Bedford, Bedfordshire aged 61. The
earliest
known Covington within my family tree which spans through 17 generations over
470 years.
There are a
number of sources online who believe that his father was John (ref 22445) which
would provide us with 2 additional generations
back to his father, Robert (ref 22443) but
John's son George seems to have been born in 1568. For this to be our George, a
marriage to
Elizabeth
Wilbow, definitely born in 1553, which is 15 years earlier than the George born
1568, is extremely unlikely, particularly in that era.
What is
more unlikely is the same source's suggestion that they were actually married
in 1590 having had a child in 1580 & another in 1582,
making George 12 years of age for the first
birth & 14 at the second!! The marriage date shown here for our George
& Elizabeth comes
from actual
Bedford St Paul's parish records.
From the
16th century Bedford and much of Beds became one of the main centres of
England's lace industry, and lace continued to be an
important
industry in Bedford until the early 20th century.
St Paul's
Church, in which George & Elizabeth were married and he, subsequently, was
buried, is a Church of England parish church
located on
St Paul's Square in the town centre of the market and county town of Bedford,
Beds, England. Formerly a medieval collegiate
church, the
large building of cathedral proportions with its later additions and iconic
spire dominates the town. St Paul's is the largest
Anglican
church in Beds, and the church exercises a ministry of welcome to thousands of
visitors and pilgrims from far and wide each year.
St Paul's
is officially recognised as a Major Parish Church and is a member of the Major
Churches Network.
Originally
constructed in the early 13th century, the present church building has
undergone numerous alterations, extensions, rebuilds and
restorations
since this time. An Early English south porch does survive from the original
13th-century structure, however, and records trace
the
existence of a previous Collegiate church on this site as far back as 1066.
The Trinity
Chapel of the church was first constructed in 1416, with maintenance of the
chapel entrusted to the Holy Brotherhood of the
Trinity.
The church has long standing connections with Sir William Harpur and Dame Alice
Harper, and the Trinity Chapel holds brasses of
the couple.
Sir William was the Lord Mayor of the City of London in 1562, and his Harpur
Trust (which has a long history of operating
independent
schools in Bedford) has donated many of the stained glass windows in the
church. Other improvements in the 15th century
included
Misericords in the Quire (or chancel) and two additional porches. The Trinity
Chapel was used as an Archdeacon’s Court after the
English
Reformation.
George
lived during a particular turbulent period of British history. The major
highlights being: 1553 King
Edward VI died and Lady Jane
Grey
becomes Queen for nine days, before Mary is crowned Queen of England. Mary
daughter of Catherine of Aragon was the first woman
to rule
England as Queen in her own right. She was executed the following year.
1555 -
1558, under Queen Mary's rule, England returns to Roman Catholicism.
Protestants are persecuted and about 300, including
Cranmer,
are burned at the stake. They become known as The Protestant Martyrs.
1558 Death of Queen Mary. Elizabeth is crowned
Queen of England closely followed by the repeal of Catholic legislation in
England.

Bedford's
principal church is St Paul's, in the square of the same name at the historic
centre of the town. It is the Civic Church of the
Borough of
Bedford and County of Beds and has a tall, iconic spire which is one of the
dominant features of the town. There was an early
Minster
church on the site by 1066 and work on the present structure began in the early
13th century, but little remains from that period. John
Bunyan and John Wesley both preached in the
church. In 1865–1868 the tower and spire were completely rebuilt and the two
transepts
added and
lesser alterations have been made since. From 1941 to the end of the Second
World War the BBC's daily service was
broadcast
from St. Paul's. (Last updated: 10/08/2011 09:04:10)

Bedford was
founded at a ford on the River Great Ouse, and is thought to have been the
burial place of King Offa of Mercia, who is
remembered
for building Offa's Dyke on the Welsh border. Bedford Castle was built by Henry
I, although it was destroyed in 1224. Bedford
was granted
borough status in 1165 and has been represented in Parliament since 1265. It is
known for its large population of Italian
descent.

1680-1699.

Still to
officially confirm link to father John, but it is logical to suggest
Bedford/Edworth link and dates are close.
St Georges
Church in Edworth is an early 13th-century church with a wealth of excellent
carving, St George's belonged at one time to St
Neot's
Priory, which must account for the exceptional quality of the woodwork and
carved stone decoration.
The church
was begun about 1200, and the chancel and side aisles were added about a
century later. Unusually, the aisles have porches at
their
western ends rather than the side of the aisle. The east window of the south
aisle has a restored window from about 1330. In the 1830s
the chancel was reduced in size due to
subsidence.
The church
was restored in the late Victorian period under Revd Henry Buttershaw. The
beautiful west window is dedicated to Buttershaw,
who died in
1891. in the chancel is a window commemorating Flight Lt David Smyth DFC who
was killed in World War II. On the south wall
of the
chancel is a window with fragments of medieval glass. There is a ring of three
bells, the oldest of which dates to 1480.
One other
interesting feature is the carved wooden choir stalls, dating to the 15th
century. Many are decorated with carvings of animals. One
carved finial resembles a dog, another looks
like a bear and yet another like a headless lion. The octagonal font is 15th
century and has
different
carvings on each traceried panel.
St George's
is a pretty country church, with interesting Decorated and Perpendicular
features worth seeing. The church is now in the care of
the
Churches Conservation Trust and is no longer in use for regular worship. It is
normally open daily to visitors. (Last updated: 10/08/2011

On July 31,
1837, one day after the first Mormon baptisms in England, the original seven
missionaries to proselyte in England held a council
in Preston. It was decided that Elders Willard
Richards and John Goodson should go to Bedford, “There being a good prospect,
from the
information
received, of a Church being built up in that city.” They left on 1 August and
arrived at Bedford the following day
.
Work
progressed quickly. The first baptisms occurred on 10 August and by December a
Bedford Branch had been organized. Berrill
Covington,
later to play an important role in the beginnings of the Church in Bucks, was
baptized in 1838 by Elder Willard Richards. He was
instrumental
in the conversion of two of the first nine Bucks natives and later became a
member of the first branch organized on Bucks soil.

Bucks Natives to join the church.)

Covington,
who was eighteen years old when he began keeping this journal, was Charles
Darwin's assistant on the second voyage of the
H.M.S.
Beagle, 1831-1836. Darwin was himself only 22 when he employed Covington using
a portion of the allowance he received from his
father!
The Journal
not only provides a new perspective of the journey which helped stimulate
Darwin's theory of evolution, but also includes
accounts of
Covington's daily duties. These included finding food for Darwin at each port
of call, and his impressions of lands and people
encountered
over five years of voyaging in the New World, from the 'naked Indians' of Terra
del Fuego to the citizens of Sydney, about
whom Covington
writes: 'Here a stranger must take care with whom he associates, as the place
consists principally of convicts, or the most
notorious
characters of England; and a place I must say I was heartily happy to leave'.
Despite his
misgivings, Covington and his Journal arrived back in Australia in 1840, when
Covington emigrated to New South Wales. He
was soon
married to an Australian woman from Stroud, and became Postmaster of Pambula on
the South Coast in 1854, where he
remained
until his death of Paralysis in 1861. He is buried at Pambula, Australia.
A pair of
wooden carved shoes exists in Australia belonging to Margaret Underhill having
been passed down to her by her Grandmother
who was
Syms grand-daughter. These were made by Syms on the Beagle voyage, they are
said to have whale bone insets and tiny little
nails, on
the top it looks as if there was a little sliding lid. A photo of these shoes
hangs in Covington's Retreat, a restaurant in Pambula,
Australia.
Evidently
Syms and Eliza had 9 children. (Correspondence from Margaret & Keith
Underhill, P.O.Box 142, Bega, New South Wales 2550,

Evolution
of a Novel: Mr Darwin's Shooter by Roger McDonald © all rights reserved
I had no
intention of writing about Charles Darwin. But when I read about Syms
Covington, Darwin's assistant during the long voyage of the
Beagle, I
was compelled into the story.
A dimly lit
photograph survives from the 1850s, a man with the look of a stoic, embattled
survivor -- with a deaf man's look of waiting to be
surprised,
with an air of almost spiritual expectation. I found myself searching Darwin's
letters, diaries, and notebooks for hints of this
shadowy,
unsung companion.
Here was a
person of little importance, it seemed, a humble crew member, a walk-on extra
in the life of a young gentleman naturalist.
Charles
Darwin was only 23 and Syms Covington barely 15 when the Beagle's voyage
started at the end of 1831. The vessel's papers
listed
Covington as ship's fiddler and boy to poop cabin. In a short time, however,
references to a "servant" appeared in Darwin's letters and
diaries. This was Covington. He'd found
himself signed over permanently to Darwin by the captain, Robert FitzRoy.
Whether Covington
volunteered, urged for the job, or
was just available is not known. In my novel, I have him urging for it --
strong with ambition to live life to the
full.
From then
on, in notes and correspondence, Darwin hardly ever referred to Covington by
name, mostly just as "my servant". Yet they were
close. I
thought of Covington as Darwin's "shadow", an intuition shared (I
found when I had finished the first draft) by Darwin's most recent
biographer,
Janet Brown. Lodged in Covington was a novel in embryo.
In later
years Darwin summarised evolution through natural selection as a process of
"numerous, successive, slight modifications". The
same can be
said of the writing process, as detail adapts to the needs of the story.
As in life,
so in fiction: the beginning point is a mystery. A bubble appears from nowhere,
it seems, like fizz in a glass of beer. Why
Covington?
Something that was nothing comes into existence -- an idea that won't let go.
Sometimes an annoyance (a bad idea still having
to be
served), sometimes a blessing. In time, with work, the first image shifts into
action, into character, into plot, and becomes a novel.
Darwin said
nothing about what preceded life as we know it, except to make tactful noises
(to keep Mrs Darwin happy?) about a Creator
breathing
life into "a few forms or even one". Elsewhere in The Origin of
Species he made repeated scathing attacks on creationism. In the
fiction-universe,
the curtain can more easily be pushed back.
Even
mysteries have their own shape. A repeated dream in my own childhood was of a
perfect sphere in space that was somehow
doubled,
one part smooth as a billiard ball, the other rough and stippled like a
quandong seed or the surface of a brain. They were two
moons
overlapping against the deep blackness of space. Both were equally desirable to
touch, yet struggling awake I could never decide
which of
the two was most satisfying.
If this is
an obvious early memory of breast feeding it explains nothing away. Now I think
it could just as easily be the end-point of psyche as
the start.
Whatever, a longing for reconciliation of opposites spilled over into
personality and shaped my engagement with language, words
struggling
before the ebb and flow of feeling. In the character of Covington, similar
longings occur. Here is where the historical record invites
rather than unfolds an interpretation.
Midway
through the voyage of the Beagle Darwin wrote to his sister back in England:
"Tell
my father how much obliged I am for the affectionate way he speaks about my
having a servant. It has made a great difference in my
comfort;
there is a standing order, in the Ship, that no one, excepting in civilised
ports, leaves the vessel by himself. By thus having a
constant
companion, I am rendered much more independent, in that most dependent of all
lives, a life on board." But: "My servant is an odd
sort of
person," Darwin continued, "I do not very much like him; but he is,
perhaps from his very oddity, very well adapted to all my
purposes."
I read on in the archive, looking for clues as to why Darwin did not like
Covington, why he was "odd". None emerged.
Perhaps we
all resent those we come to depend on absolutely … Maybe this was just a class
thing … If so, did Covington buck against his
lowly
station in life? … Make himself uppity to the upper-class Darwin? … Was it his
looks, like Billy Budd in Herman Melville? … His
beliefs?...An
over-willingness to please? … A stickiness of manner? … Was it his sexuality?
What might
it have been in Covington's presence that evoked this negative but needful
prickliness in Darwin?
Fiction
comes out of just this vacuum of explanation, charting a relationship whose
inner life begs to be imagined.
At the same
time, as Isaac Bashevis Singer has observed, a novel must be full of detail
just as music must be full of notes.
I filled
myself with seafaring lore and combed through Darwin's letters and diaries
catching hold of clues. Covington learned collecting,
preserving,
shooting and packing skills from Darwin, slitting open birds' stomachs, poking
through half-digested contents, digging bones of
prehistoric
animals from Patagonian river banks, hefting, carting, sorting, storing.
Seeking a language for Covington to represent an older,
more trusting religion, and to
stand against Darwin's "modern" pattern of thought, I delved into
"Pilgrim's Progress". This is perhaps the
most
anxiety-ridden book I have ever read, and as a homeopathic against its potential
to swamp Covington with dampness of soul I gave
him a
vigorous libido and an honest heart. Strength of character emerges naturally
from such a doubling. It gave Covington a trump card to
play
against his master, even if unconsciously.
I gained a picture
of Darwin enjoying himself and always collecting ahead of his ideas -- as when
he desperately wanted to bag a particular
small
ostrich he'd heard about, then thoughtlessly cooked and ate one, realising too
late it was the rare species he sought. Later it was
named after
him, the rhea Darwinii. Novels get written the same way, I reflected. Action
precedes the idea, otherwise no life.
I had
started with poetry, as a younger writer, but became impatient with the narrow
range of life that arrived in my work. Twenty years ago I
turned to
novels seeking a wider canvas. After writing six, plus an autobiographical
work, Shearers' Motel, using fictional technique to grasp
the essence
of an experience, certain patterns become clearer. Even the novels that are
full of social and historical detail, like Mr Darwin's
Shooter and
my first novel, 1915, are slaves to fictional demand just as surely as more
image-based novels like Water Man and The Slap.
Call it
manifest shape, inherent structure, or the destiny of character.
A novel is
like an individual in this sense. We can plot our personal histories, but can
only guess beyond them. Despite our deepest
psychologies
we cannot say why we are who we are. We are mysteries to ourselves. We can plan
our lives and see intention thrown by the
wayside
almost as a joke. Lying in the gutter we reach for the stars.
In another
sense the novel is not like an individual at all: it is in the hands of an
attentive god, the author, and invested with purpose -- call it
meaningful
redemption of its mystifying beginning.
To say this
about our own lives is an assumption that most of us including Darwin are
reluctant to make, though like a novelist Darwin saw
far and
wide jammed up with close and grainy. Also like a novelist he was guided by a
formative image -- late in life he recalled a childhood
memory:
locked in a room as punishment, he ran around trying to break the windows to
get out. Complementing this, I invented a formative
image for
Covington: a young man leaping a stile in a stained glass window, John Bunyan's
Christian glimpsed from his mother's lap in his
earliest
memories.
The two
young men, servant and master, were to remain as close as man and wife
(metaphorically speaking in their cluttered lodgings on
land and
sea) almost constantly from 1832 to 1839, during the entire voyage of the
Beagle and for the two and a half crucial years following.
"Servant"
was a term covering many duties in their time together.
Covington
was taxidermist, valet, trusted house-servant, clerk and copyist. He pickled
fish, prepared botanical specimens, and became
expert with
insects and all manner of wriggling, fluttering, crawling life. As the voyage
proceeded he emerged as a prodigious collector,
shooting
most of Darwin's birds (including the famous finches taken on the Galapagos
islands) and being responsible, it seems, for all of
Darwin's
insects collected during his brief sojourn in Sydney. By the end, Covington was
badly deaf from all the shooting.
Darwin's
archive is an immense resource: he remains the most thoroughly documented
scientific genius of the nineteenth century. The
voyage of
the Beagle was a period of adventure and travel forcibly linked to an
intellectual drama "far more thrilling" (as Stephen Jay Gould
has
observed) than the voyage itself, thanks to "the impact upon human
history" of the religious and scientific conflict aroused by Darwin.
I wondered
about that conflict cutting deep into an individual's psychological sense of
himself. Covington's, that is.
He was born
obscurely in Bedford, the home town of John Bunyan and religious
non-conformity. Building from this lone early established
fact, I
created him imbued with trusting faith from childhood, coming from an older England,
a stranger to the Anglicanism of the ruling order.
Darwin was the son of the richest man in
Derbyshire, and was half-heartedly planning to serve as a curate when he
returned to England, if
only he
could find a parish with scope for nature study.
It was not
to be. As even the sketchiest reading of The Origin of Species will reveal,
Darwin became remorselessly and even aggressively
atheist as time went on.
While I
invented no facts around the Darwin archive, I interpreted Covington for fictional
purposes by taking the known facts of his life into the
realm of speculation. This applies
particularly to the parts of Covington's life pre-Darwin, and to episodes in
South America where an older
woman urged
her passion into Covington's life with later consequences for the plot. Also to
the last year of his life, 1860 through to early
1861, as
Covington awaited the arrival in Australia of The Origin of Species and I
strove for some sort of reconciliation between science
and
religion in the spirit of this one person, Covington.
Early in
the book I found myself writing the following, the first notes of an overture
demanding an entire relationship to unfold, with
implications
for plot and character throughout: "Entering the Heads of Port Jackson
just after dawn the captain found Covington utterly
stricken.
His eyes were open, watchful, but he uttered not a word. With sails slack and
the schooner steady on the tide the sufferer was
offloaded
forthwith and rowed to a Dr MacCracken's cottage in an arm of the harbour at
Watson's Bay."
(To allow
readers interested to see where fact and fiction vary, I appended a list of
sources and acknowledgements in an author's note at
the back of
the book.)
Covington's
archive by comparison with Darwin's is tiny. It consists of a contested
birth-date, a scrappy diary held in the Mitchell Library,
Sydney, a
few watercolours, a photograph, and scattered mentions in Darwin's letters and
diaries.
Involved in
the writing process, for me, is something closely related to formative imagery
-- a kind of abstraction hovering just ahead of me,
the feeling
of a cat's cradle or a spindly constellation, an odd-shaped map of lines and
connections. It is almost like a pre-apprehended
form, an
image of where the novel's growth has to go before it will stop, and enough
light has been shed. Morphology is the name of the
subject in
natural history, its most interesting department, according to Darwin,
"its very soul." It sometimes feels as if each book has a pre-
existing
soul and the only duty of the writer is to bring it up in colour, shape, and
extent.
Beforehand,
with a novel, I have what might be roughly described as a subject area (war,
flight, horses, water divining, fire, evolution) but no
idea where
I will go in terms of character, incident, and detail, except that thrown far
ahead of me is the feeling I have to reach and satisfy.
This
feeling is almost the definition of impossibility, the crux to me personally,
though it might pass almost unnoticed by the reader (because
when I get
there, an inner knot dissolves, its shadow fades against the texture of the
whole). In Mr Darwin's Shooter the point I aimed to
reach was a
reconciliation of science and religion. Where could this happen except in the
dramatized life of an individual?
The letters
Darwin wrote to Covington later in life were especially useful clues to work
backwards from. Blandly friendly on the surface,
wearily
nostalgic, they cannot be described as warm-hearted. Whimsically envious of
Covington's financial success and improved station in
life, and
of the health of Covington's children, they are none the less condescending, in
my view -- the letters of a distant master to a stolid
old
servant. Darwin sent Covington a silver ear trumpet and asked him to collect
barnacles from nearby rocks, and wrote congratulating him
on how well
they were packed. Was there a touch of guilt in that ear trumpet? Darwin still
wanted favours from Covington, and was never
known for
his gratitude.
I based my
story on such slender threads, perhaps, but I wanted more from this
relationship than was there on show. I wanted love, maybe
as an
antidote to Darwin's spiritual bleakness. I wanted redemption. For this
Covington's nature had to be passionate all through.
When I
looked at Covington's photograph I saw that stoic, embattled survivor, that
deaf man's look of waiting to be surprised. What was
Covington
holding in? I wanted this man bursting into bloom behind Darwin's back for his
whole life. And so the real Covington and the
fictional
Covington travel parallel but not together in my pages.
In my other
books, these knots of being have involved depicting a son's meeting the gloomy,
zombie-like father who died before he was
born (Water
Man); a moment of rebirth expressed through repeated live burial (Rough
Wallaby); the unrestrained flight of heavy objects
(Slipstream);
death by fire as the complete expression of a life (The Slap); boys overcoming
the physical nightmare of war (1915).
Transformation of self, severely
frustrated, seems to be a guiding light in my fiction. Facing, and somehow
overcoming, a prospect of live
burial
(actual or metaphorical) is in every book I have written. Perhaps this will
change. The other pattern obvious to me is that the main male
character in every book is inarticulate in
some sense. In The Slap this is true to the fullest extent -- a full voice is
denied to the main
character
in maturity. The same fate threatens Covington as in later years he awaits the
arrival of The Origin of Species in Australia and
truculently
wonders if history has left him out.
As for the
famous finches, which play a small but crucial part in the novel, Darwin had
assumed, when they were on the Galapagos, that as
the islands
were close together "no reason was possible for their harbouring different
species true to their own islands", and so, as a
creationist
(still) he had not labelled them by island. But the real Covington had labelled
by island the birds he had shot for his own private
and
potentially saleable collection. When they were back in London Darwin called
for these birds to be examined by John Gould at the
Zoological
Society.
There at 36
Great Marlborough Street Darwin sorted, listed, and wrote up the immense haul
of material with Covington at his side. It was
during this
time that he first admitted to natural selection in private notes. Thus I
propose that my fictional Covington, alone, and excluding
Darwin's
more illustrious contemporaries in this period after the voyage, had not just
an instinct for but a knowledge of what Darwin was
grappling
with in his understanding.
Then came
the day in 1839 when Darwin announced his impending marriage. He presented
Covington with a golden guinea, dismissed
him from
his service, and Covington (somewhat stung, as might be imagined, but stoical)
took ship for New South Wales.

1 Jul 1798 at Ashwell. James resided on 2 Jul 1821 in Ashwell, Herts. Employed
as Labourer. He resided on 6 Jun 1841 in
Workhouse
Yard, Ashwell, Herts. Died of Paralysis. (info from kevinbean.plus.com).
He appears
in a number of newspaper articles during 1828, i.e, The Cambridge Chronicle 11
Aug, The Royal Cornwall Gazette, The
Durham
County Advertiser & The Examiner. This follows him being convicted at Royston
Petty Sessions of selling beer at The Ashwell Fair
on 11th
July 1848 contrary to licencing laws. He was found guilty & fined £25 plus
14 shillings costs, which he could not afford to pay, so was
subsequently imprisoned for 3 months.
The gist of
the various articles is that the case should not have been brought against him
as, although illegal to sell beers in fairs as per Act
of Charles
II if then consumed in a house, it is not illegal to sell if drank outside,
i.e. in a field.
He had
bought the ale from a local brewer, Pryor of Baldock, which he sold at the fair
for 5d a pint. The brewer was selling elsewhere at the
fair at 6d.
James was informed upon by a tenant of the brewer & ended up being charged.
James was
described as a poor labouring man with a wife and three young children. The
case "excited commiseration" of the
neighbourhood
with many coming forward with small donations for the relief of his family.
His appeal
against the conviction following the publicity of it being considered unfair
proved unsuccessful, probably because it was heard by
3 Clerical Magistrates, one the Rev Henry
Morrice, Vicar of Ashwell, who was an intimate friend of Pryor (the brewer),
another had married
Pryor's
daughter. A further appeal was proposed to the Court of Justice but no info on
this has been found. (Last updated: 30/10/2019

The
following extracts of press articles appear in the Northampton Reference
Library: "We deeply regret to record the death of Mr Frederick
Covington, J.P., which took place at his
residence, Adams Avenue, Northampton, last evening, in his 82nd year. He had
suffered from heart
trouble for a considerable time, and about
three months ago had a serious attack which kept him indoors for some time, but
he recovered
sufficiently
to ride out practically every day.
At the
beginning of this week, however, he had another severe attack, and his doctor
suggested that he should have a few days' rest. Just
after four
o'clock yesterday afternoon he rang the bell, and his youngest daughter, on
going upstairs, found him anticipating another seizure.
This
actually came soon after his eldest daughter (Anne Jane) arrived home from
school (where she was headmistress), and he died in her
arms a few
minutes later.
Mr
Covington was born at Bedford in 1835, and came to Northampton on April 14,
1848, when he was apprenticed to Mr Philip Barnard, a
tailor in
the Drapery. He commenced business on his own account in 1870 on the
Wellingborough Road and afterwards carried on business
in the Drapery and later in Abington Street,
retiring about twenty years ago.
As a boy at
Bedford he attended the famous Bunyan Meeting, and when he came to Northampton
he at once associated himself with
College
Street Chapel. At the age of 15 he became a member, and two years later began
his long and faithful career as a local preacher.
With the
exception of a period of some six or eight weeks in 1890, during which time he
was laid asise owing to an accident, he was in
continuous
service as a preacher for 56 years, and was never known, for any reason, to
miss an appointment. For many years after he
undertook
this work it was his rule to walk out from Northampton to the villages where
appointments had to be kept, and Mr Covington would
often walk out eight miles or more, preach two
sermons, and walk back at night.
To continue
his work, without intermission, in all weathers, and frequently when tired and
weary and worried with the week's labours, is a
proof of
sincerity and devotion than which there could be none greater. Mr Covington
will long be remembered with affection by the village
churches of
Northants. In 1910, when he had been preaching for over 56 years, the Northants
Village Preachers' Association presented him
with a purse of gold in recognition of his
long labours. He was for many years the Treasurer of the Association. He was
the senior deacon
of College
Street, being appointed in 1892, and was made a life member of the diaconate
several years ago. In 1903 he was President of
the
Northants Baptist Association.
Mr
Covington was of that order of public men who do not make their public duties
subordinate to private business. Within a few years of
commencing
shopkeeping on his own account he was a member of the Town Council and the
School Board, as well as one of the most
active of
local politicians. This meant that having long given all his Sundays to
toilsome work for others, he now - judged by ordinary
standards,
unable to afford it - spent a great deal of his week-day time in municipal
service. In politics he was a Radical of the straitest
Nonconformist
tyre. He was a Liberationist who had learned from Edward Miall, and when, in
1870, education became a municipal function,
he approached the new problems from that
standpoint.
In the
divisions in the local Liberal party which were caused by the intervention of
Charles Bradlaugh in Northampton politics, Mr Covington
remained
for some years with the section that included not only all the moderate
Liberals, but many advanced politicians whose opposition
to the new-comer
was due to his Freethinking in religion. At the by-election after the death of
Charles Gilpin in 1874, the official Liberal
candidate
was William Fowler, a Quaker banker. He was too moderate for Northampton, and
Mr Covington, with many others went over to
Brandlaugh,
who polled nearly half the Liberal vote. The total Liberal strength was 3,602,
but the splitting of this between two candidates left
Merewther, the Conservative, at the
top of the poll with 2,171.
Pickering
Phipps had already won one seat at the General Election earlier in the same
year; and for the next six years Northampton had two
Conservative members. This example of the
folly of division, and the wonderful enthusiasm which Gladstone roused in his
campaigns of the
later '70s, brought the Northampton Liberals
together in 1880, when Labouchere and Bradlaugh were returned at the head of
the poll. In the
fierce
controversies that followed the refusal of the House of Commons to allow Mr
Bradlaugh to take his seat, Mr Covington took an active
part. Later
he was for eleven years the local representative - almoner was the precise
description of his functions - of Labouchere; and it
was to him
that the famous member sent his letter of resignation just before the General
Election of 1906.
Mr
Covington was a facile and vigorous platform speaker, and no one was more often
heard at local meetings. Mr Covington's municipal
service was
done as a representative of the old East Ward. He was first elected in 1874
with Mr W. Jones as his Liberal colleague; the
defeated
Conservatives were Mr H.P. Markham and Mr R. Howes. Three years with the late
Sir Philip Manfield as colleague, he was badly
beaten -
both the Conservatives (Mr R. Howes and Mr T. Wetherall) were returned by large
majorities.
Two years
later, when Mr W.J. Peirce and Mr T. Wetherall were Conservative candidates, he
failed a second time, being third in the poll,
with Mr.
W.C. Hollowell at the bottom. In the next year he beat Mr Wetherall by two
votes. He then held the seat for nine years, and the East
Ward came
to be regarded as a Liberal stronghold. In 1884 he was appointed Chairman of
the Water Committee of the Town Council at a
time of a
terrible drought, which threatened to result in a panic. He successfully
pointed out a practical way out of the difficulty and was really
the
principal man in directing a very difficult undertaking, that has now resulted
in giving Northampton a pure and copious supply of Adam's
ale.
On
Wednesday 10th November 1887 he was duly elected Mayor of Northampton. His
election was seconded by the leader of the local
Conservative
party, Mr James Berry, and carried unanimously. At the time a press article
read as follows: "Mr Covington is admittedly not
quite the
stamp of Mayor Northamptonians were accustomed to look for a generation ago.
But if his social position is not particularly
significant,
it is unquestioned that in ability and energy he is at least the equal of his
Radical colleagues.
Even in the
old days when he was a humble anti-vaccination agitator in wagons on the Market
Square, he was among his own class
regarded as
a man of light and leading, and his popularity with the extremities has never
been in jeopardy since he boldly threw his religious
scruples to the wind and took his stand on the
Bradlaugh platform. His allegiance was rather sorely tried when Mr Bradlaugh
and Mrs
Besant were
being prosecuted in connection with the sale of a notorious book, but time
healed his injured feelings, and of late years he has
only been
regarded as second to Messrs Gurney and Adams in favouritism with the advanced
politicians of Northampton."
Mr
Covington had joined the School Board in 1874 and remained a member till Mr
Balfour's Act transferred education administration to the
Town and
County Councils. For many years he was Chairman or Vice-Chairman of the Board,
and the work was the part of his public duties
which appealed to him most. It brought many
fierce controversies, in which he played a foremost part.
Older
readers will remember the contention about the proposed establishement of an
Industrial School in Northampton. The late Mr
Wetherell
was the leading advocate for the institution; Mr Covington led the opposition,
and when, at the election which came at this time, he
was placed at the head of the poll, it was
admitted that public opinion had settled the matter.
After the
passing of the Balfour Education Act, Mr Covington declined, as a magistrate,
to join in enforcing its provisions, and he himself
became a
passive register. He was appointed a Justice of the Peace in 1893, and except
Mr William Mills (appointed in 1885), he was the
senior
member of the Borough Bench." To this day has a street in Northampton
named after him.

Joseph (). Christened:
6 Mar 1831 at Bedford St Paul. Info updated by Paul Reid, Apr 2012 -
"Charlotte Ann Covington (2456) was, I
believe, my
great-great-grandmother on my mother's side.
I'm relying
on research done by an uncle and a cousin (his son), now sadly both deceased.
Unfortunately I don't have access to their records
but I do
have a copy of the tree created by my cousin. (In addition, as I live in
France, I don't have easy access to parish records etc, so I
have to
rely a lot on the Internet and on other people's research, with all the risk of
errors!)
According
to that tree, Charlotte married Joseph Foot (or Foote), a shoemaker, at the
parish church of St Thomas, Woolwich, on 8 June
1863. They
had at least six children from 1864 to 1878, including Alice Jessie Maud who
was born in Islington on 20 April 1866. As stated
on your
site, Charlotte's parents were William (2460) and Rebecca (4251). Rebecca's
surname was Sabey.
I have
discovered that Joseph married again, in 1885 , to a Mary Winifred
Shuttleworth, so Charlotte must have died before then. FreeBMD
gives a
death in Q4 1880 but the age is incorrect by 10 years.
However, it
also seems that Charlotte first married a Charles Edward Joy on 8 July 1853 at
St Peter's, Bedford (IGI) and they were living in
Bedford in
1861 (census). There is no mention of any children in that census.
Alice
Jessie Maud Foot married William Daniel Thwaites at Islington Register Office
on 17 September 1888. They had two sons, William
Herbert
born 1889 and Ernest Norman born 1891, my maternal grandfather.
I have not
yet published my tree on the Internet as I am not yet sufficiently confident of
its accuracy - sadly, my cousin died of a brain tumour
last year
and it seems that he increasingly made mistakes with his tree. I have published
my wife's tree on Genes Reunited and I plan to
merge mine
into it some time in the future, but there is still quite a bit of work to
do." (reod.paul@wanadoo.fr) (Last updated: 25/04/2012

Berrill,
Harriet (5386). Died: 30 Oct 1889 in Tuebrook, Liverpool aged 68. Appears in
1861 Census living in West Derby employed as a
Bootmaker.
They made their home in Liverpool until they could get enough ahead to come to
the United States and on to Utah.
Some time
in 1863 they sent their daughter, Mary Ann, who was twenty-one and their son,
Berrill, who was fifteen to the United States. They
came to
Salt Lake City and then on to Ogden. The following year, Susan and the
following children, Edward Thomas Ord, Susan Hannah
and William
Henry, sailed aboard the General McClellan, leaving Liverpool on 21 May 1864.
Her husband, Josiah Sr., and son, Josiah Jr.,
were left
behind. They were to follow as soon as they saved enough for their fare. Things
happened, plans changed, they never emigrated,
and they
continued to live in Liverpool. Josiah Jr married a niece of Susan's and raised
a family in England. He was later excommunicated
from the
Church.
In 1881
Census described as a Cordwainer living in West Derby at 103 Prescot Rd
(taken from
Family History of George Richard and Euphemia Jane Freeman (1990), )
Following
1st wife's immigration to the US, Josiah started a relationship with her niece
Harriet Berrill, with whom he had a number more
children.
It is unclear as to whether they ever married although by the 1891 Census she
was using the name Harriet Covington. In 1871
Census, he
appears in the home of Harriet Berrill & her sister Abigail Berrill. He is
shown as being Uncle. Also at the same address were
James, aged
6, Josiah, aged 4 & Isabella, aged 2, Covington, described as cousins of
Harriet. (Last updated: 17/06/2020 11:13:51)

aged 92. One of the original Utah Mormon Pioneer Overland Travellers
(1847-1868).
Emigrated
to U.S. and joined Mormon faith in Utah.Mormon Pioneers Database states:
"Edward sailed in America in 1856, spent some
time in New
York, and arrived in Salt Lake City by 1859. The first documentation to place
him in Utah is an advertisement for his
photography
business in February 1860, which was prior to the arrival of that season's
emigration. Further research is needed to determine
the year he
came to Utah and the name of the company he traveled with. His wife Emma/Ann/Anna
(?) appears with him on the 1856
Columbia
ship manifest."
There is a
strange record in the 1900 Utah Census giving his details but showing him aged
74, living with a wife named Susan Covington
born Mar
1864 (therefore aged 36) & a daughter named Violet White (a daughter from
his 2nd wife's first marriage). It shows that Edward
had been
married for 46 years., but obviously not to Susan. (Last updated: 01/04/2001)

GEORGIANA COVINGTON (2689). Born:

Mother: Covington,
Margaret
(2688). Mar: 22 Oct 1846 in Ashwell, Hertfordshire to Flitton, John (). Died: 8
Sep 1863 in Clapham, London aged 37. There is
an IGI
reference that William Bryant was her father. Christened: 15 Aug 1826 at
Ashwell. With only mother's name shown as Margaret
Covington.
Husband born 21 Jun 1824 at Ashwell, he was a labourer. They had 4 children,
George William, William, Alfred & James Flitton.
Correspondence
from Steven Flitton (email steven.flitton@a1.net) in Jan 2020 suggests there
could be a confusion between this Georgiana
marrying John Flitton with Georgiana (ref
3480). He writes: "The main reason for my doubt is that on the 1846
marriage certificate for
Georgiana
and John, of which I have a copy, she is described as “a minor”. The 1834
Georgiana would be a minor, but would the 1825
Georgiana
be so described? In contrast, John, born in 1824, is described as “of full age”.
Unfortunately
the certificate gives no information on the name of the father of either
Georgiana or John. If you could point me to any
information
that shows how you matched John Flitton with the 1825 Georgiana, I should be
grateful."
My opinion
is based initially on her age at the time of marriage, 12 would be very young
in the UK even at that time. Further investigation
shows that
John Flitton's brother William George Flitton married & died in Surrey,
which is the same county as this Georgiana died (her
death info
provided by Peter John Hazell, pjh6601@gmail.com).
Additionally
the 1861 Census shows John Flitton, a bricklayer aged 36, his wife Georgana
(spelt wrong) aged 35 & 4 children living at Alma
Place, Chatham, London. (Last updated:
