Could Rev. Thomas Stubbs be a nephew or cousin or relative of the Victorian theologian and historian Bishop William Stubbs (1825 -1901) the author of THE CONSTITUTIONAL HISTORY OF ENGLAND, and a leading figure at Oxford University?

Hi Jeff -

I've been through and through and can't link them.

William Stubbs was born in Knaresborough, Yorkshire, in 1825, and was the eldest of the six children of William Morley Stubbs and his wife Mary Ann. Of the six children only two were male: William and one other.

We know from post #11, above, that Thomas Walker Stubbs's father was Henry James Laurie Stubbs. Henry James Laurie Stubbs married in Manchester in 1851, which would in theory make him the right sort of age to be William Stubbs's younger brother.

However, this article appeared in the Belfast Newsletter on 9 August 1870, demonstrating that Henry James Laurie Stubbs's brother's name was Charles Edward Stubbs.



Therefore, Henry James Laurie Stubbs is not William Stubbs's brother. I would suggest that there is no link between Thomas Walker Stubbs and William Stubbs.

One last thing - you refer to him as

Rev. Thomas Stubbs

, but I cannot see this elsewhere in the thread. His appearances in the census returns do not make him out to be a clergyman - and his demyship (a kind of scholarship) to Magdalen College, Oxford, was in the natural sciences, as this article from the Times, 21 June 1875, shows.



Regards,

Greetings All,
On another thread started by Natalie, about Monty's "chums", she is doing useful ferretting amongst the keen, bright-eyed Oxford students who frequented Toynbee Hall in Whitechapel.
Amongst the early speakers Natalie lists a "C.W.Stubbs". JOHN RUFFELS.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the research on Thomas and his father. I don't know why I thought he was a clergyman - looking over the material nothing suggests it for him.
