| Brind wills | See Elizabeth's family |
| Elizabeth's older sister married a Thomas Patrick, who may have been related to the Mitford Patrick found in the Old Bailey Records. Thomas and Mary Patrick seem to have had children whom (if I read this will correctly) were regarded as lunatics. I wonder why? Jonathan Brind. "I suspect that this was due to a birth problem and that Mary may have died when they were born," David Brind. | |
| Link to Mitford Patrick, perhaps the father, brother or uncle of Thomas Patrick. |
| You will recall that I spoke to you about an Elizabeth Brind who died in 1843 in Hackney aged 93. Harriot wife of Charles Dolton, Hannah wife of William (Shearman), Elizabeth and Esther-- that's another daughter for William of Birmingham! |
| a> Mrs Walter Brind senior- wife of Walter II plus some children
b> Mrs Walter Brind Junior- wife of Walter III of Coventry and children c> Mrs Thomas Brind, i.e. wife of Thomas Brind Prime Warden in 1813- his death cert has Pentonville, Clerkenwell on it. Thomas Brind Junior the coal merchant (see also attached directory page and will) I suggest that Mary (Mrs T) was the one who died in Clerkenwell in 12/1846. |
| Several nephews did not get a mention in the will in addition to Walter eg the Capt, Thomas Patrick, Frederic (Brig) and James (Sir)-- they were all overseas and out of sight. I suspect others were more in need of help. |

| The COLDHARBOUR estate, originally an island, lay in the south-west of the parish. It was reclaimed c. 1690-1700. (fn. 112) Before that it probably comprised the marshland south of the old counter walls which in the 19th century lay inland of Little Coldharbour, Coldharbour Point, and Great Coldharbour. (fn. 113) A small part of it, including Little Coldharbour, lay in Rainham. During the Middle Ages Lesnes abbey (Kent), which held the Rectory manor of Rainham, also had lands on Coldharbour, which passed to the Crown at the abbey's dissolution in 1525. (fn. 114) In 1541 Sir Ralph Sadler was licensed to alienate a marsh called Coldharbour to Henry Cooke. (fn. 115) It descended in the Cooke family until the 18th century. (fn. 116) John Doncastle, who held land at Coldharbour c. 1717-66, may have married a Cooke, for his property reverted to William Cooke in 1767. (fn. 117) In 1754 William Cooke and his wife sold 42 a. of Coldharbour to Ralph Phillips. (fn. 118) This included Kingsland, later Crown, marsh, and was probably the former monastic land. The rest of William Cooke's estate, including Great Coldharbour House, passed c. 1778 to John Bourne, possibly his son-in-law. In 1842 Cooke Kemp Bourne owned the house and 124 a., which were occupied by Henry Cooke Bourne, an Independent preacher. (fn. 119) |

| Shacklewell is a district within the London Borough of Hackney, roughly North-east of modern-day Dalston, (which historically was due South of Shacklewell).
Modern Shacklewell is one of the more ill-defined districts of Hackney, its outlying areas having been encroached on, in public definition, by surrounding districts such as Stoke Newington and Dalston. (It is not common for a modern Londoner to refer to themselves as living in Shacklewell - so, in its way, the district illustrates the mutable nature of London placenames.)
But historically, the district name has covered quite a wide area. In the 19th century, Shacklewell extended north to include Rectory Road, Stoke Newington Common and the northern end of Amhurst Road (home owners in these areas are unlikely to consider that they live in anything other than Stoke Newington, simply for house price reasons, since their locales carry the prestigious N16 postcode.)
One old Shacklewell municipal building still clearly visible is the 'Washing Baths', tiny by the standards of many other London districts. Disused now, this would not have possessed a swimming pool, but constituted a communal bath- and washhouse for the working classes. Simple bathhouses like this were once of great importance. Even into the 1960s, in some working-class areas of London many dwellings did not possess their own bathrooms. It is perhaps best to define modern Shacklewell as the small area stretching south from Downs Road, (not including any of N16), down and around Shacklewell Lane, and petering out around Dalston. The main village was situated around Shacklewell Lane-Shacklewell Green (a pleasant, but under-used little patch of foliage) being the village green. Largely residential in the mid-19th Century, it gained some light industry later on, including Eyre & Spottiswoode's printworks and a saw mill. Although some industry remains, largely Turkish-run, it has been superseded as a commercial centre by neighbouring Stoke Newington and Dalston. Shacklewell had a manor house that at one time was occupied by the Heron family. Cecilia, the youngest daughter of Sir Thomas More, the Catholic martyr, married into the family in 1525. The house was later occupied by the Tyssen family, which owned large parts of Hackney. |

I have taken this image from Old Bailey Proceedings Online even though it says: "Images of maps taken from John Strype's 1720 edition of John Stow's Survey of London, and of John Rocque's 26 Inch to the Mile Map of London, Westminster & Southwark are reproduced here under license from Motco Enterprises Limited. The same applies to the article by Ralph Hyde, "John Rocque's Survey of London, Westminster & Sourthwark, 1746". Please do not reproduce these materials without permission. Inquiries may be made to Motco Enterprises Limited, The Court House, Shamley House, Shamley Green, Guildford GU5 OUB, UK. E-mail: enquiries@motco.com.

Coverture is the legal concept that a woman's legal rights were merged with those of her husband, part of the common law of England and the United States throughout most of the 1800s. The idea was described in William Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England in the late 1700s.Wikipedia |
|
By marriage, the husband and wife are one person in law : that is, the very being or legal existence of the woman is suspended during the marriage, or at least is incorporated and consolidated into that of the husband : under whose wing, protection, and cover, she performs every thing ; and is therefore called in our law-French a feme-covert ; is said to be covert-baron, or under the protection and influence of her husband, her baron, or lord ; and her condition during her marriage is called her coverture. Upon this principle, of an union of person in husband and wife, depend aloft all the legal rights, duties, and disabilities, that either of them acquire by the marriage. I speak not at present of the rights of property, but of such as are merely personal. For this reason, a man cannot grant any thing to his wife, or enter into covenant with her : for the grant would be to suppose her separate existence ; and to covenant with her, would be only to covenant with himself : and therefore it is also generally true, that all compacts made between husband and wife, when single, are voided by the intermarriage.The Blackstone Text |
