Carpendale
Birth: 1837, in Wincanton, Somerset, England
Father: William
Carpendale
Mother: Emma
(Coulson)

Married: Jessie
Ann Turner
Children:
Death: 20th November 1877, in Grantham,
Queensland,
Australia
Buried: 21st November 1877, in
the Drayton &
Toowoomba
Cemetery,
Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia. Section CE 7-12, block 9, allotment
28.
Burial number A1709.
Notes: Alex emigrated to
Australia in 1856, on the
"Lord
Burleigh"
from London. His name ("Mr. Alex V. Carpendale") is found on the
passenger
list of the Lord Burleigh when it docked in Auckland on August 8 1856.
There is some confusion on the man's name. The
Ancestral file and
the
passenger record agree that he is Alexander Victor, while Kathleen's
journal
has him as Victor Alexander, and the cemetery records have him as
Albert
Victor!
The cemetery records give the exact death and burial dates
(corresponding
with Kathleen's death date), and give his age as 40, confirming the
birth
date from the AF. The cemetery records list his religion as Church of
England.

Notes:
Catherine
is not listed as attending the funeral of her sister Harriette
Carpendale at Drogheda in 1901, though there was
apparently
wreath from her (?Kate Carpendale?), so she may not
have
been
resident in Ireland at that time.
Catherine is mentioned in the will of her aunt, Sophia
(Carter) Cashel
in 1904 (written 1890), and in the will of her sister Elizabeth Shaw
Carpendale
who died at 2 St Peter Place, Drogheda 3 February 1909 'I bequeath to
each of my dear sisters Charlotte M E Carpendale and Catherine D
Carpendale the sum of £200 each'
The inscription opposite was an entry made by Catherine in
the album of
her niece Henrietta (Carpendale) Bowen poem in Drogheda in February
1903. The verse is by R. Monckton Milnes (1809-1885).
An

A

Obituary:
OBITUARY
VICE-ADMIRAL SIR C. D.
CARPENDALE
Controller of British Broadcasting
Company
Vice-Admiral Sir Charles
Douglas Carpendale, C.B., who died on Thursday at the age of 93, served
in the Royal Navy from 1887 to 1923. Then from 1923 he became
associated with broadcasting.
Only a year previously leading British wireless
manufacturers had combined to start the British Broadcasting Company
with a regular service, and with about 20,000 licences. Carpendale
became controller, and was directly concerned in the phenomenal growth
of the new organization. He continued in office when the company's
licence expired in December 1926, and the British Broadcasting
Corporation was established to maintain the service as a national trust
under Government control. Within 12 years of his introduction to
broadcasting the number of licences had grown to seven million and the
annual income of the B.B.C. to over £2M. The internal economy
of
the service owed a great deal to the ripe judgement, knowledge of men
and affairs, and popular personality of its controller.
Carpendale, like Sir John Reith, was a son of the
manse.
His father was the Rev. William Henry Carpendale. He was born on
October 18, 1874, and entered Britannia as a naval cadet in January,
1887.
After the war broke out he was appointed in
command of
H.M.S. Donegal. This cruiser was one of the West African squadron under
Admiral de Robeck until November, 1914, when she was ordered to join
the Grand Fleet, which she did in Januaray, 1915, forming part of the
Seventh Cruiser Squadron under Admiral A. W. Waymouth, based in
Cromarty. In the following August Carpendale became flag captain to
Admiral Sir Lewis Bayly at Queenstown, and subsequently commodore in
Northern Ireland. He was made C.B. in 1918. After the Armistice he took
command of the battleship Benbow, until 1921, in which year he was
appointed an aide-de-camp to the King, until his promotion to
rear-admiral on July 6, 1921.
When Carpendale retired from the Navy in 1923 he
came in
contact with Mr. J. C. W. Reith of the B.B.C., who asked him to become
his deputy with the title of controller, a post he held until his
retirement in 1938, with latterly a change in title to Deputy Director
General. It is recorded that Carpendale had understandable qualms about
accepting service in an entirely unfamiliar field. He soon, however,
showed his capacity for working with a dynamic managing director and an
inexperienced and potentially temperamental staff. On one hand in 1929
he proved an understanding go-between for Sir John Reith in his
difficulties with the then chairman of the B.B.C. Board of Governors.
On the other he proved invaluable as a steadying factor, with common
senseand his feet on the ground, in dealing with an enthusiastic and
rapidly expanding staff. Throughout his service he was mainly concerned
with administration, but his unofficial influence on programmes was
salutarily that of an ordinary though privileged listener ; and in
emergencies like the General Strike of 1926 he was always ready and
welcome to lend a hand in the studio.
Carpendale, in the circumstances of his office and
the
times, had to be boot-faced. In cricket terms he was the long stop both
to Sir John Reith above him and to the often very wild bowling from
below him. This led to the famous quarter-deck manner (doubtless
natural to him), belied as often as not by an ultimate twinkle in his
eye and dissolving in a most charming smile. The staff respected and
progressively liked him and felt absolute confidence in his integrity,
and the women staff adored him. He was well known to them through staff
social activities in which he was untiring - dances, sports, swimming,
and taking part in plays like Tilly
of Bloomsbury.
In March, 1925, he was elected first chairman of
the newly
formed Union Internationale de Radiophonie and he did most valuable
work from the British as well as B.B.C. point of view in the following
15 years when despite the jealousies and strains of an international
body he was reelected annually. His geniality and real friendliness and
his wisdom in conference must certainly have contributed to the good
will between the B.B.C. and German broadcasters which had its effect in
the war years. Carpendale retired in June, 1938 four years after the
normal retiring age. But the war saw him working at the Ministry of
Information in liason with the Air Ministry and the B.B.C.
An expert skier, Carpendale was a winter sports
enthusiast, and his recreations included riding, mountaineering, and
other outdoor sports. He was created K.C.B. in the Birthday honours
list in 1932. He married in 1907 Christina, eldest daughter of the late
Mr. J. S. Strange, and had one son. His wife died in 1952.

Australia
Father: Alexander

Mother: Jessie
Ann (Turner)
Carpendale
Married: Pung-i
"Jessie"
Tonanik in 1905 in East
Cape, Siberia, Russia.
Occupation:
Fur Trapper and Trader (1914); Hudson
Bay Company
agent; Poultry Farmer (1951)
Death: 23 June 1951, in New Westminster,
British Columbia,
Canada, aged 77
Buried: New Westminster, British Columbia,
Canada
Notes: Clarendon was an adventurer who
left his home
in
Toowoomba, Australia in 1900 and participated in the Yukon gold rush.
He found better fortune trading than prospecting, and landed up in East
Cape (Cape Dezhnyov),
Siberia where he worked as a fur trapper, trader and agent for the
Hudson Bay Company. In his book, Arctic Trader,
fellow Siberian trader Charles Madsen notes that "Charlie Carpenter"
was an assistant at a
trading post in East Cape for John Rosene's Northeast Siberian Trading
Company in 1908. Madsen describes Carpendale as "a foot-loose old
Autralian ... who had been attracted to Nome by the gold
rush,
but had had no luck" and later as "a garrulous old man". In
a film shot in
Siberia in 1914 by Fred Le Roy Granville entitled "Rescue of
the
Stefansson Arctic Expedition",
a short scene occurs in which "Trader
Carpendale displays White Fox skins". Clarendon married a local Chukchi
woman, Pung-i Tonanik,
and became a Russian citizen which had the added benefit of giving him
full legal trading rights in contrast to the murky legal position of
many of the American traders in Siberia. In 1921, the Hudson Bay
Company extended its operations to eastern Siberia, and Clarendon
became an agent for the company. The venture, coming at a time of
revolutionary confusion and alternating control between Red and White
forces, was not a success, and in 1924, Hudson Bay withdrew from
Siberia. The extension of Bolshevik
control to Eastern Siberia chafed on Carpendale, and in 1927, he
escaped Communist rule with his family by crossing the Bering
Strait in kayaks, landing in Alaska. They lived for a period
in Nome, Alaska, then Seattle, Washington and eventually moved to
Surrey, British Columbia. Canadian Immigration records their arrival in
Vancouver, British Columbia on 28 November 1927.
Clarendon was a friend of the polar explorer
Roald Amundsen, and adopted a child, Nita Amundsen who was a "ward" of
Roald. The photograph of the Norwegian flag was sent to Clarendon from
Roald Amundsen and is
of the flag that Roald carried on his voyage through the
North East Passage, and flown at both the (magnetic) North and South
poles. In a dispatch from Amundsen reported in The Times
in 1922, Carpendales' ability to supply Arctic ventures receives praise:
The Times, Saturday, Nov 11, 1922; pg. 9;
Issue
43186; col D
Amundsen's Voyage.
In the following dispatch Captain Roald
Amundsen describes
his
journey from Nome, through Bering Straits to Point Barrow, Alaska,
whence he intends to attempt to fly across the Polar Basin. Owing to
adverse weather conditions, the flight has been postponed till next
summer.
(By Captain
Roald
Amundsen.)
WAINWRIGHT (ALASKA), Aug. 14.
We left Nome on Wednesday, June 28; the town gave us a hearty cheer on
our departure.
Twenty-four hours later we dropped our anchors just outside Kengesko
(East Cape), in Siberia. Ice covered a distance of about three miles
from the shore out to sea. A team of dogs came rushing out over the
ice, and within a short time our friend, Charlie Corpendale, was on
board. The whole outfit which I had ordered with him last year was
ready and it was an outfit, indeed ! The Maud Expedition is, in fact,
fitted out with the very best to be had.
We subsequently made for Cape Naspenberg, in Kotzebue Sound...
Later documents (will etc.) have his name as
Clarendon Charles
Carpendale.

Notes:
Known as "Bessie". A nephew's son remembers her as "a kindly
and
wonderful
person". She was never married.
This poem was written by Bessie in an album belonging to her
cousin
Henrietta Groome who visited Falkland in 1903. I have not been able to
find any other attribution for the poem, so I assume it to be original.
A Fragment
Two
streams came
dancing from their mountain home,
Careless and glad, along the vale to roam.
And meeting 'neath the bending willow's shade
In company they passed the flowery glade.
Till rudely torn asunder, Parted, wide
By some harsh circumstance the streams divide
But seaward still they keep their shining way,
For there they shall mingle in immensity
To Parted Friends who must on earth no more
Shall find a meeting place when life is o'er

Signed "B.C" and of the house in which she was living, we attribute

George
Carpendale
also spelled as George Capendale
Married (1st): to Elizabeth
Wright
in 1751
Married (2nd): to Catherine
Palfreeman
Children:
Occupation: Cordwainer
Notes:
George was a cordwainer in Newark-upon-Trent,
Nottinghamshire.
Kathleen's
records indicate that Thomas William's Carpendale's father was a
clergyman
and schoolmaster in Mansfield, and married to a Mapletoph (Mapletoft?).
Denis Capendale's information that Thomas's parents were George and
Catherine
is taken from Thomas's baptismal certificate held by the Archivist at
Cambridge
Unversity. Denis has checked the line of the Mapletofts from North
Thoreseby
from 1600+ and cannot find a marriage to a Carpendale. However, the
Mapletofts
had property at Claypole, just outside of Newark. Thomas's father was
not
a schoolmaster or clergyman there. School records have been checked as
have the roll of incumbents at Mansfield. The LDS Ancestral File has
George
as married to "Miss Marletolt", and born 1717 (in Newark), died 1752,
and
lists him as "Revd. Dr. George Carpendale"; this correlates with his
profession
as a clergyman and schoolmaster, but if he died in 1752, he cannot be
the father of Thomas William who was born in 1754. This inconsistancy
occurs
in the LDS Ancestral File record, which has led me to ignore the
information
in the AF on George Carpendale.

up with the death date 13 May 1838 (or else it was a long 23 days for

"Obituary
SIR EVERARD UPTON - LAW AND TRAVEL IN INDIA
Our Nairobi Correspondent telegraphs that Sir Everard Upton died at
Nanyuki Farm on Saturday at the age of 65. He was a man of energetic
and adventurous mould with cultivated tastes. He travelled extensively,
delighted in sport, and was distinguished in the exercise of his
profession, in which he rose to be Solicitor to the Government of India.
Thomas Everard Tichborne Upton was born to the late Thomas Everard
Upton, J.P., of Ashburton, Canterbury, N.Z., in October, 1871. His
grandfather was the Rev. Thomas Upton, of Moreton Say, Shropshire.
After being at Christ College. Canterbury, N.Z., he joined the Law
Society, London, and was admitted to the solicitors' roll in this
country in 1897. Five years later he went out to Calcutta as a member
of the old-established firm of Orr, Dignam, and Co., and was admitted
to the roll of the High Court, Bengal. He was a member of the executive
committee and trustee of the Victoria Memorial, Calcutta, from 1919 to
1924. His prominent place in "Ditcher" society was shown by his being
president of the Bengal Club in 1920 and his stewardship of the
Calcutta Turf Club from 1923. His holiday travels took him to Tibet and
Sikkim as well as to all parts of India and Ceylon ; to Africa from the
Cape to Cairo, Algeria and Tunis ; to Australia, Canada, and South
America. He was a director of numerous companies concerned with Indian
commercial and industrial development. He left Calcutta in 1924, but
was recalled three years later to take up the appointment of Solicitor
to the Government of India. He finally left India in 1932, after
serving on the Council of State, the Upper House of the Central
Legislature, and settled at Alresford, Hants.
Sir Everard, who was knighted in 1931, married, in 1906,
Hazel Edith,
daughter of Lieutenant-Colonel J. M. Carpendale of the 8th Bengal
Lancers, and they had three sons and a daughter."

The marriage took place at Fort William his afternoon, of Mr.
T.
E. T. Upton and Miss Hazel Carpendale. The bride is the eldest daughter
of Colonel J. M. Carpendale, Garrison Quartermaster. The wedding was a
fashionable affair, and numerous guests were present.

(article on the wedding of Hazel Carpendale and
Thomas Upton)
?Mr. Upton, supported by Mr. Given Wilson as best
man
arrived
very
punctually.
The bride walking up the aisle on the arm of her
father and
preceded by the choir singing ?the Voice that breathed
o?er
Eden,?
looked
perfectly charming in a very simple white satin frock. The skirt was
trimmed
round the edge with three satin straps cut on the cross, continuing
right
up the front and giving a panel effect. The bodice had a net yoke and a
berth of lovely lace fell over the full puffed sleeves, which were
finished
at the elbow wit ha strap of white satin matching the skirt. The white
tulle veil was prettily arranged on the dark hair and caught up with
orange
blossom. She carried a pretty white bouquet. The two grown up
bridesmaids,
Miss Carpendale and Miss Dobson wore sweet frocks of white muslin, the
bodice trimmed with cross-over braids of broderie Anglaise and frills
of
the same on the skirts With this they wore fancy straw hats trimmed
with
white chiffon and white flowers. They carried white bouquets, and wore
charming brooches of brilliants of a fancy bow design with a sapphire
centre,
the gift of the bridegroom. The little bridesmaid Miss Toynbee enjoyed
herself immensely and looked like a big doll, dressed in a short white
silk frock with a white hat trimmed with pink La France roses. When the
ceremony was over the bridal party repaired to the vestry, and
?O?
perfect
Love? was sung by the choir and congregation. The bride then
walked
down
the aisle on the arm of her husband, to the strains of
Mendlessohn?s
Wedding
March, greeting her many friends with a happy smile. The
bride?s
mother
wore a lovely dress of a small green check taffetas, trimmed with bands
of a deeper shade of green velvet. With this she wore a toque of shades
of blue and green.
The reception was held on the tennis courts near
by. Two
large
shamianas were erected, under one of which stood the cake, and in the
other
were the many lovely presents. The bridegroom?s present to
the
bride
consisted
of a silver fitted dressing case and the bride?s to the
bridegroom a
silver
fitted suit case. Mr. Sparkes proposed the health of the bride and
bridegroom,
and the band of the 63rd Palamcottahs played various selections. The
bride?s
going-away dress was of pale blue with a lace yoke and a white hat
caught
up with pink roses. The honeymoon is to be spent in Darjiling.
Among the numerous guests present I noticed Mrs.
Copleston
in
grey silk trimmed with lace, and touches of black, the Misses Copleston
in white muslin frocks and white lace hats, Mrs. Barrow in blue, Mrs.
Harris
in a shot oyster coloured taffetas. Miss Harris in white. Mrs. Ormiston
in a beautiful gown of French grey cloth, Mrs. And Miss Porter in
white?

I feel sincere pleasure in giving my testimony to the
excellent conduct of Master John Carpendale.
Whilst he was
under my care -
He was at Dungannon School for
three years, the greater proportion of which he lived as a boarder in
my house ; I had therefore
every opportunity of knowing his
character ; and I can say with truth that he was always distinguished
for propriety of conduct, diligence in study and improvement in the
various branches of his education.
He is a good
classical scholar and has read Virgil, Lucien etc etc. He has also read
a good deal of Euclid, some algebra, trigonometry, arithmetic etc etc.
