About The #Partington - #Guy - #Marklew #Hearse #Harse Family Ancestry
If you have any information regarding the #Marklew family then please do get in touch as we would love to hear from you.
My connection to the Marklew family comes direct from my Gt Gran mother Dorothy Adelina Marklew who was born out in india.
The connection to #India started on 8th November in 1827 when William James Marklew son of Edward Marklew born circa 1760 and Susannah Lea born circa 1759 arrived in indian state of Bengal on the Ship Thomas Grenville. William was previously a Jeweller
in birmingham prior to enlisting in the 4th Battalion Artillery.

To read up on an Assassination attempt on
QUEEN VICTORIA and PRINCE ALBERT
by her son Edward Oxford dob 1822, who was tried and aqquitted of of Royal Treason at the Old
Bailey on the grounds of Insanity. He was however imprisioned in Bethleham Hospital London for
the
insane for 25 years and then after serving his prison term he was then put on
a ship in Plymouth to Australia.
Nothing was ever documented or known about his where about's after he was put on the ship to
Australia.
This attempt on Queen Victoria's Life was actually included in the 2009 Hollywood Blockbuster The
Young Victoria.
At the moment I'am in constant contact with numerous descendants of this line of the Marklews some of who are listed below and have supplied most of the documentation and photographs for this site.

The #colonial era in India began in 1502, when the #Portuguese established the first #European trading center at Kollam (possibly explain's the entry of the vitters into the Marklew tree. In 1510 the Portuguese sailor, Vasco da Gama, established an important trading presence in Goa. Rivalry between European powers saw the entry of the Dutch, #British, and French among others from the beginning of the 17th century. By the 19th century, the British had assumed direct and indirect control over most of India.
History of Calcutta now officially Kolkutta
During the bygone days of the British, as the capital of undivided India #Calcutta was regarded as the second city of the British #Empire (after London) and was aptly renamed " City of Palaces" and the Great Eastern Hotel was regarded as the "Jewel of the East". During that bygone era, Calcutta was famous for its " Baboo Culture "
Calcutta remained in the forefront of Indian prosperity up to independence and for some more years afterwards before the population pressure on infrastructure and political disturbances led to a gradual decline. A violently disruptive Maoist movement in the late 1960s and early 1970s and left the city badly bruised. Since 1977, a Marxist party has continuously ruled the state with various allegations of electoral malpractices being common. The Municipal Corporation of Calcutta however is presently controlled by a combine of parties opposed to them. Calcutta has a nickname, the "City of Palaces".
During the British colonial era in the period from 1700-1912, when Calcutta was the capital of British India, Calcutta witnessed a spate of frenzied construction activity of buildings largely influenced by the conscious intermingling of Gothic, Baroque, Roman, Oriental and Islamic schools of design. Unlike many north Indian cities, whose construction stresses minimalism, the layout in architectural variety in Calcutta owed its origins to the Occident. Thus it was possible to walk on a street in the European sector in Calcutta in the 1900s and confuse it for Saville Row, Southall or Pont des Artes.
The buildings were designed, and inspired by the tastes of the English gentleman around and the aspiring Bengalee Baboo (literally a nouveau riche Bengali who aspired to cultivation of English etiquette, manners and custom ).
This spate of construction by the Bengalis to rival the English did not go unnoticed. It was fully appreciated and fostered by the British who went on to construct some of the most aesthetically visible monuments in the city.
