PORTAL, LUCY .

The Family History Of Portal, in watercolour heightened in gilt,

[Birmingham] :1849 . 0. Charming Victorian family tree - 'The Family Of Portal', in watercolour heightened in gilt, “Lucy Portal Delin 1849”. In its original highly decorative oak and plaster frame (small loss and chips). 55 x 42cm . Earliest ancestor recorded is Jean Francois de Portal (1642 - 1704 ). * Lucy Welch was born on 15 June 1812 in Birmingham, Warwickshire, her father, Thomas, was 34, and her mother, Sarah, was 31. She married Bernard Bedwell Portal on 9 May 1837 in her hometown. They had five children during their marriage. She died on 8 August 1884 at the age of 72. ** Jean Francois de Portal was born on 3 November 1642 in Poitiers, Vienne, France, the son of Lucresse and Etienne. He married Françoise Gouroudet and they had nine children together. He then married Marie Gousset on 28 April 1700 in Westminster, Middlesex. He died in May 1704 in England at the age of 61. *** Member of a Huguenot family originating in Bagnolssue Ceze, Languedoc . Guillaume Portal born 1639, was ‘of the Great Wardrobe’ of William III and Anne. His brother Jean Francois also fled to England, father of three sons and seven daughters. The second son Pierre Guillaume became rector of Clowne , County Derby , c1724 and South Fambridge, County of Essex in 1734. His first son Andrew took orders and was vicar of St. Helen’s Abingdon. Abraham, his second son, described as son of William Portal of Prittlewell in the Country of Essex clerk, was apprenticed to Paul De Lamerie 3 July 1740 on Payment of £35. Free, 7 March 1749. Mark entered as largeworker, 26 October 1749. Address: Rose Street, Soho. Moved into the precinct of the Savoy, 29 September 1750. Moved to the Strand, 1 June 1753. Livery, June 1763. Heal records him as goldsmith, jeweller and dramatist, Rose Street, Soho 1749; Salmon and Pearl, 34, Ludgate Hill, 1763-78 and Castle Street, Holborn, 1795, died 1809; also, in partnership with Harry Gearing as goldsmiths, jewellers and toymen, at Ludgate Hill address, 1774, bankrupt 1778. He appears as goldsmith, Ludgate Hill, in the Parl. Report list 1773. His brother William was apprenticed to him, 1750. Abraham married firstly Elizabeth Bedwell of Abingdon (where his brother was vicar) , who bore him two sons and four daughters , one of whom, Anne , married Moreton Welhouse and became mother of Edward , 1st Lord Hatherton. Portal is one of the very few goldsmiths to appear in the Dictionary of National Biography, on account of his literary activities. He first appears in Biographica Dramatica (1812): Failing in this (i.e, as a goldsmith) he commenced bookselling in the Strand (cf, the move of 1753, above) in which he was more successful. He finished his career as box-keeper at Drury Lane Theatre, but we cannot learn the time of his death. His first play was Olindo and Sophronia a tragedy 1758. “This play is a very indifferent one and was never brought on the stage. The story of it is taken from Tasso’s Gieruselemme Liberata. The author tells us that was his virgin tragedy, the effort of almost unassisted nature, the solace and amusement of the leisure hours of one who has hitherto passed his time not in the learned and peaceful retreats of the Muses, but in the rude and noisy shop of Vulcan’. Portal’s further plays published were The Indiscreet Lover, comedy 1768; The Cady of Bagdad, opera 1778, performed for one night at Drury Lane (the songs only printed) and Vortimer or The True Patriot 1796. In 1781 he produced a volume of Poems with dedicatory lines to Richard Brinsley Sheridan, with whom he claimed friendship and containing a Sonnet to Sheridan’s wife, the beautiful Elizabeth Linley, and a Monody on the death of her brother Thomas. Portal’s second son was christened Richard Brinsley, whose godfather seems little in doubt. Portal’s work, as may be expected from his flirting with the literary muse, is rare, but shows on occasions a reasonable accomplishment, perhaps the work of his journeymen. His evidence to the Parl. Report Committee in 1773, of the difficulty he found in distinguishing the marks on Sheffield plate from those on silver, leaves doubts as to whether bad eye-sight, ineptitude or business spite was the reason. He died in Castle Street, Holborn, January 1809, and was buried at St. Andrews’s, leaving less than £1000. (Some of the of the above details came from Sir William Portal, Bart, Abraham Portal and his descendants 1925.

STARKIE-BENCE, CAPT. E. R.

Original Victorian postal envelope addressed to Capt. E. R. Starkie Bence - QV 1d pink cover with Charing Cross duplex to Long Melford, Sudbury.

January 1881. 0. Original Victorian postal envelope addressed to: "Capt. E. R. Starkie Bence, Kentwell Hall, Long Melford, Sudbury, Suffolk." 12.2cm (wide) x 7cm (high). 1d pink cover with Charing Cross duplex to front, and postal marks for Long Melford and Sudbury to rear. ** "Edward Robert Starkie Bence was the son of Henry Bence Sparrow Bence and Elizabeth Susanna Starkie. He married Eliza Charlotte Albinia Sulivan, daughter of George James Sulivan and Mary Plomley Jenkins, on 30 July 1850 at St. Georges Hanover Square, Westminster, London, England. He died on 24 February 1886 at Kentwell Hall, Long Melford, Suffolk, England. Edward Bence, who had inherited some £130,000 from Elizabeth Starkie, a cousin, upon condition he added Starkie to his name. This was but little imposition given that his father had changed his name from Sparrow to Bence for much the same reason. Edward was a second son and his father had a significant Estate at Thorington, Suffolk which his elder brother would enjoy. Edward held Kentwell for 50 years. He purchased a captain’s commission in the First King's Dragoon Guards and saw service in the Crimea in the 1850s. Considering the corruption affecting Sudbury elections, it is surprising that Capt Bence attracted complaints that he placed himself in front of the voting booth in the West Suffolk Election so as to prevent all but those he favoured from voting.." - See Kentwell Hall - The History.
