ADELINA DE LARA- CONCERT PIANIST- CRAWCOUR FAMILY LINKS

[phillip]

Adelina De Lara the famous concert pianist is related to my Crawcour lines via her maternal grandmother Sarah Abigail Cohen Crawcour and her husband David Laurent De Lara c1806-76 from Amsterdam. In addition, Sarah c 1804-79 was the daughter of Isaac Crawcour and Simha Cohen De Lara ( her parents were Abraham and Mary).
David De Lara and Sarah had 5 children- Simharia,Alfred, Rachel, Anne, Hannah.
Anne De Lara was both a vocalist and pianist who married Joseph Laurence when she was 16. He was a solicitor but left her and her children destitute. Anne married George Matthew Tilbury c 1839-1883 ( he was also known as George Preston an engraver). Their daughter Lottie Adelian Preston b 1872 adopted her mother's maiden name Adelina De Lara and began a musucal career but her father died age 43 and her mother Anne died one week later leaving Adelina and two very young siblings. Interestingly in Adelina's memoir ' Finale' she describes her maternal grandmother as 'a Polish Jewess of the name Cracour, that of an important Polish military family who lived in Kracow, in that part of Poland then under Austrian rule'.

Samuel Crawcour b 1748 d 1816 ( my 5 x great grandfather) the father of Isaac Crawcour was an apothecary/surgeon dentist who arrived in England circa 1760s- the name Crawcour ( also spelt Cracour ) is derived from Kracow Poland.

If any researchers are interested in further details egarding the lines they are welcome to contact me.

Hi, I was researching Adelina de Lara as I couldn't remember her eldest sister's name, and came across this letter. I too am a descendant of hers, her great-granddaughter. Her son Denis Eward Bernard Kingston-Shipwright was my grandfather.

Denis's son, my father, was also a musician, a fine singer, as was (reportedly) his mother, Denis's first wife Kate Hain. For most of my professional life I too have been a musician (singer and song writer), as are my brother and several cousins, and I have one particular great-niece who is an extraordinary talent at the piano! So the gene lives on...

I'm also particularly alert to family history at the moment as, on my father's side, his uncle Capt. Edward Hain was just honoured by being the soldier whose image was drawn in the sand at St. Ives, Cornwall as part of Danny Boyle's Armistice Day "Pages of the Sea" centenary event. My brother and I were both there with 2 of our cousins, so family history is at the forefront of our consciousness at the moment!

All best to whoever's reading, Kit Grindstaff, née Hain

Hi Kit
It's good to hear from a distant relative. I wrote this message 10 years ago. My Uncle Ted remembered Adelina visiting( probably my grandmother or 2x great grandmother Amelia Hart 1841-1928) and playing the piano when he was a young boy. Ted died a few years ago in his 90s. My distant cousin Patrick Coppel in Melbourne and I researched Adelina and our Crawcour lines in great detail and we have a very large data base( including you) on the lines worldwide. My direct line is via David Crawcour who died 1882 St Helier Jersey my 4x great grandfather and youngest son of Samuel Crawcour 1748-1816.


I may well post more on Thomas Johnson Shipwright and the lines.
Very best wishes

Phillip

[phillip]

I wrote a very brief post some years ago headed Hannah de Lara and Henry Russell. This line relates to my own Crawcour/Hart lines and in the case of Sir Landon Ronald Russell 1873-1938 he was a 1st cousin to Adelina De Lara. I have also explored the Henry Russell line in some detail because of his connection to both of my 2 separate Hart lines who married into each other.
Phillip

[phillip]

This post is the initial part of future data and records on the family relationships between the famous Victorian musician and song writer Henry Russell and his first wife Isabella Lloyd and their daughter also Isabella aka Isabel who married John aka Isaac Davies aka Davis. My research will also include data on John aka Isaac Davis aka Davies son of David Davies aka Davis and Ann Crawcour.
The research will show that the Davis aka Davies family was closely related to Henry Russell through the marriage of his daughter Isabella to John aka Isaac Davies and in addition through John's mother Ann Crawcour to Hannah De Lara who married Henry Russell.
Ann Crawcour b circa 1802 was the daughter of Isaac Crawcour and Simha Cohen de Lara. Anne's sister Sarah Abigail Crawcour b circa 1804 was the daughter also of Isaac and Simha. Sarah married David Laurent Cohen De Lara in 1828.

To add to the interrelationships between the Crawcour/De Lara/Russell lines both my two separate paternal Hart lines married into the Davis/Davies and the Crawcour lines. Amelia Hart daughter of John Hart/Elizabeth Jacobs married Maurice Davies son of David Davis/Davies and Ann Crawcour. John Hart/Elizabeth Jacobs being my 3x great grandparents.
In addition, Henry Chapman Hart brother of Amelia married Amelia Hart daughter of Aaron Hart and Ann Rebecca Crawcour- my 2nd and 3rd great grandparents respectively. Ann aka Rebecca Crawcour was the daughter of David Crawcour died 1882 my x4 great grandfather and brother of Isaac, Ann and Sarah Crawcour the children of Samuel Crawcour 1748-1816 my 5x great grandfather.
Catherine aka Kate Crawcour daughter of John Hart/Elizabeth Jacobs had also married Abraham Crawcour.

All of the above data is relevant to Adeline de Lara aka Preston aka Tilbury because of the relationship and marriage of Hannah de Lara to Henry Russell and not least because of the shared Crawcour relationship I have with Adeline.

I will post further on the Laurence aka Lawrence/Tilbury/Russell and other lines because the data on the lines has been unclear and not fully recognised.

Phillip

[phillip]

The data and information on Adelina De Lara should be read in conjunction with previous threads on the various lines:
Abraham Cohen de Lara d 1829 London 24.5.2011 see #18 and onwards in particular; Maurice Davies-Amelia Hart 22.4.2013; Hannah De Lara and Henry Russell 29.8.2009; Amelia Hart 1843-1907-Davies-Wileman-Coopman 28.4.2018 and the numerous Crawcour and Jacobs posts.

In the previous post I wrote about the marriage of John aka Isaac Davies aka Davis to Isabella Russell the daughter of Henry Russell and Isabella Lloyd.

As will be shown, there appears to have been a 'falling out' between the Davis and the executors of Moses Crawcour will which referred to John aka Isaac Davis/Davies and a bequest.
The Law Journal Reports 1862 ( see online Google Books) refers to the Court case Davis v Angel in 1862. Angel was Moses Angel Headmaster of the Jew's Free School who had married Rebecca Godfrey daughter of Godfrey Levy aka Levy Godfrey and a Crawcour (I will post the link to previous threads on the lines).
Moses Crawcour 1781-1858 was the son of Samuel Crawcour 1748-1816 and Rebecca and a very close friend of Moses Angel.
In his will Moses Crawcour had stated that one part of his residuary estate should be held in trust for his nephew Isaac Davis son of David and Ann Davis in case he should marry Moses niece Esther Godfrey.. in case the said I Davis did not marry Esther then the bequest would not take effect. On the 13 June 1857 Isaac aka John Davis aka Davies married Isabella Russell.

The Davis sought to have the bequest honoured but the Court rejected the case.

I will post on Isaac/John Russell.

[phillip]

In my previous post I stated that I would provide further data on Isaac/John Davis aka Davies and Isabella Russell. I will post later on in this thread. However, for the moment I have been reviewing the comment by Adelina De Lara in her book 'Finale' that her father Joseph Lawrence was a solicitor.
I have looked at the UK Articles of Clerkship 1756-1874 and see no evidence that he was articled or ever became a solicitor. Indeed on the GRO Marriage Certificate for Joseph Lawrence and Anne De Lara he is a Commission Agent:
Parish Church St.Andrew Holborn Middlesex

I am aware that there is a Hain family tree on Ancestry.Com in the Public domain. This tree contains a range of data on the lines but is incomplete regarding some of the associated lines through marriages. In this thread I will fill in some missing gaps based on my current research and the records available.
By 1871 Anne aka Annie aka Ann Lawrence was living with her parents and recorded as a widow. There is a GRO Death Index record for a Joseph Lawrence June qtr 1870 age 37 Grantham 7a 267.

I have not seen a copy of this certificate nor does it appear in on the Hain family tree or data base. It would useful to obtain the record to confirm whether or not it does show the death of Joseph Lawrence husband of Anne.

George Matthew Tilbury aka Preston's first wife was Ann Newell Fulton. She was baptised 10 January 1834 Parish Church Chipping Campden-parents George and Mary Fulton- George was a Seedman.
Ann appears as an unmarried servant age 17 in the 1851 Census born Gloucestershire Chipping Campden in the household of John Field a Master Baker ( full reference for record to follow)

By 1871 Ann is living alone with her 3 sons and recorded as a widow. However, George was still alive and possibly living with Anne aka Anna because Adelina aka Lottie was born in 1872.

Why George Tilbury changed his surname to Preston is unclear- Criminal and Bankruptcy records may provide an answer.

George Matthew Tilbury was recorded in the GRO Death Index as dying in 1883- George Matthew TILBURY Death Jan qtr 1883 b abt 1838 age 45 Liverpool 8b 140.

Why his surname at death reverted back to Tilbury is also not clear.

There is no current data to indicate what happened to Ann Newell Tilbury aka Preston nee Fulton and further research is required.

I will post further data on the lines.

By 1891 Adelina aka Lottie appears as a visitor in the household of William Priestly. She is incorrectly on Ancestry.Com recorded as Priestly but the census record is clear and shows her surname as PRESTON:

The 1861 Census previously posted on showed George Tilbury and Ann Fulton with children Frank William b 1858;Percy Augustus b 1860; Rodney George b 1861.
The 1861 Census for Joseph Laurence aka Lawrence and Ann De Lara shows children Sarah A b 1859; David D b 1861
The 1871 Census showed Ann aka Annie Laurence with her parents David/Sarah and children Sarah b 1859;David b 1862;Penelope b1867
The 1881 Census recorded with George Tilbury/Ann De Lara show Helen b 1861; Penelope Jane b 1867 and Lottie b 1872 (Penelope was born 1865 based on her baptism record).

In earlier threads Percy Augustus Lawrence aka Tilbury aka George Tilbury was shown to have had several prison sentences as a hawker without a licence and drunk/disorderly.

Rodney George Lawrence aka Tilbury was aka George De Lara actor and I will post data showing him living with Adelina De Lara.

Penelope Jane was to marry and I will post on her.

March qtr 1918 Chelsea 1a 953 to Kate HAIN

In 2007 my Australian distant cousin Patrick Coppel wrote about our Crawcour lines in the Australian Jewish Historical Society Journal Vol XV111 2007 Part 4- Crawcour Stories. This article was based at the time on our research into our lines which we had shared ( including other distant cousins). I have continued over the past 11 years to do further research and post data where relevant plus developing my own data base on the respective lines.
In his article Pat included a section entitled Adelina De Lara and the Polish Military.In this section we had explored whether or not Adelina De Lara's comments about our mutual lines 'of the name Cracour, that of an important Polish military family who lived in Kracow, in the part of Poland then under Austrian rule' ( in her book Finale) was based on any actual evidence.
We have not found any such proof but we were aware of the involvement of the Jewish Regiment under Colonel Berek Josielewicz during the wars against Russia in 1794.
Whether or not our lines ( Pat and I descend from Isaac father of Samuel Crawcour 1748-1816 as does Adelina; her line comes through Isaac Crawcour c 177-1837=

[phillip]

My apologies- the site appeared to 'freeze' during my last post hence an incomplete previous post. I will continue with the data posted earlier.
Isaac Crawcour c 1777-1837 =Simha Cohen De Lara 1776-1851 and their 7 children of whom Sarah Abigail Cohen Crawcour c 1804-1879 =David Laurent De Lara c 1807 1876. Anne their daughter married Joseph Lawrence aka Laurence and then Anne had a relationship and children by George Tilbury aka Preston which included Adelina.
Hannah the 5th child of Sarah and David was the mistress and later wife of Henry Russell 1812-1900 and as previously posted on in this thread this Russell line connected through marriage to John aka Isaac Davies and his mother Ann Crawcour who had married David Davies aka Davis. My own paternal Hart line had also married into the Crawcour/Davies as posted on.

Pat and my own Crawcour line descends through David Crawcour c 1791-1882 brother of Isaac 177-1837.


Following the death of George Tilbury aka Preston and his wife Anne within a week of each other Adelina was living with her two half sisters Nellie and Penelope who were older than her. Nellie apppears to have threatened to kill her self following the death of George and Anne and disappeared. There is no record currently to indicate what happened to her and one theory is that she committed suicide by drowning. She was the eldest sister.
Penelope Jane born 1865 appears to have supported Adelina with patrons assistance touring with Adelina in her piano recitals.

Penelope was later to marry Arthur Theobald a widower and retired army officer.

The GRO Marriage Certificate for Penelope is particularly interesting because it sheds a small amount of light on what her father may have been employed as at the time of his death. Importantly, the 2 witnesses at her marriage were Henry and Hannah Russell showing that the Russell were involved with the family.

In this post I will provide data on Ellen Waldron b abt 1855 Liverpool the wife of Percival aka Percy Augustus Tilbury. They were married Sept qtr 1878 Sheffield 9c 482. The 1911 Census reveals that they had 7 children 3 of whom were dead.
I can't locate the family in 1881 census but here are the family without Percy in 1891 and 1911.
It appears that Percy was separated from the family and this may have been because he was an itinerant hawker but also in prison for some of the time.

The following is from The Times Monday Nov 27 1961 regarding the death of Adelina De Lara:
"The death of Miss Adelina de Lara in a Woking Hospital on Saturday at the age of 89... She have her last public recital at the Wigmore Hall on June 15,1954 at the age of 82 but continued subsequently to lecture on the teaching of Clara Schuma, whose pupil she was for six years at Frankfurt..."

The following also from The Times relates to the engagement and marriage of Denis Ewart Bernard Kingston Shipwright to Kate Hain in 1918:
The Times 7 March 1918
"An engagement is announced between Denis Ewart Bernard Kingston Shipwright second lieutenant RFC, younger son of the late Thomas Johnson Shipwright and Mrs Shipwright ( Mme.Adelina De Lara) and Kate, daughter of the late Sir Edward Hain and Lady Hain of Treloyhan, St Ives Cornwall."

The marriage took place in 1918.

The Obituary in The Times Friday Sept 21,1917 for Sir Edward Hain:
"Sir Edward Hain who was well known in shipping circles as the head of an important steamship fleet died at his residence Treloyhan St Ives Cornwall yesterday at the age of 65.. His only son Captain E Hain of the Devon Yeomanry was killed at Gallipoli in 1915. He was the eldest son of the late Mr Edward Hain of St Ives, his family having been connected with the shipping and fisheries of that port for centuries. He was the principal of the firm Edward Hain and Son ( St Ives) and a member of the firms Foster, Hain and Read (London0 and Foster,Hain and Co (Cardiff).. he was Sheriff of Cornwall, member of county council..six times..Mayor of St Ives..20 years member of Town council..He received a knighthood in 1910. In 1882 he married Catherine daughter of the late Mr James Hughes of Whitehaven Cumberland.."

Following recent contact by a descendant of Adelina De Lara I am revisiting this link. In the last post I said that I could not locate the burial site for Adelina.

I am seeking help trying to locate her burial place.

Her husband Thomas Shipwright aka Kingston died in 1911 and is buried in St.Mary's Roman Catholic Church,Kensal Green, Brent Grave 40 92.

Adelina De Lara's GRO Death Index record has Lottie A SHIPWRIGHT Dec qtr 1961 Surrey NW5gt 689. She died in Woking Hospital. Was she buried under that name or under Adelina De Lara? I don't know the answer.

Any assistance locating her grave/burial place would be appreciated.
