INDEX
1/1. Francis George Maitland - 1905,
1/2. John Armstrong Maitland - 1906,
1/3. Otis Edward Maitland - 1909
1/1. John Andrew Maitland - 1863.
This chapter describes our branch of the Maitland family which descends from
Francis Maitland (3rd) and includes what is known of his life and that of his
children and their offspring. It also includes the ancestors of his wife, Annie
Chapman from Newcastle.
They had 4 sons, John Andrew, Francis, Edward William and Nathaniel George, and
one daughter, Harriet Matilda. All the sons had children, but Harriet did not:
she became a doctor. 3 of the sons spent much of their working lives in the Far
East. Only Edward and George left continuing family.
Little definite is known about Francis, except that he was not a success
financially (he left £136 [10k in 2003], in his will while his brother, the
well known "Uncle JAM", left £220,000 [£14M 2003]), and probably
spent much time away from home. He would have traveled to Jamaica in his youth,
but was brought up with his mother's second husband. He lived most of his life
in London, but is reputed to have chased his fortune around the gold fields.
An interesting consequence of this and the fact that his sons mostly spent
their time away in the East, is that no family stories existed in this branch
about the Jamaica connection. The last person in this branch with any knowledge
of Jamaica, Harriet (Carpenter) Maitland, died in 1867, and Francis's father in
1842. In contrast, Francis 3's "1st cousin-in-law", the wife of his
cousin, Andrew Wright (2), did not die until 1978, 77 years after Francis
himself.
The theory is that Septimus Maitland (b. 1821) was the impetus for the family's
extensive connections in the Far East. Born in Jamaica, Septimus was resident
in London by 1856 and a partner in a London teabrokers 1875-79: his two sons
Francis John (b. 1856) & Harry Maitland (b. 1862) and AW Maitland (b 1853),
his nephew by Andrew Wright Maitland, were all out in the Far East. His nephew
by brother Francis, John Andrew (born 1839), was Septimus' executor quoted in his
will of 1876 and was known to have been very successful financially. The MT was
probably sorted out by these and NGM when they were all in Shanghai. FJ and H
would have known via Septimus their grandparents history.
The probable sequence would seem to be Septimus establishing trading
connections with the Far East in the mid 19thC, and early on sending or
encouraging his nephew John Andrew out to China, probably in the 1860's. Soon
after that, Andrew Wright (1853) probably soon followed (he was in Shanghai by
about 1875) and Septimus's sons. Of the next generation, NG Maitland, JA
Maitland's nephew arrived in 1898, by which time NG's brothers EW and probably
Francis were already there. NG's brother Francis was a tea clerk in 1881 in
London, but ended his time in Hong Kong.

Quote from Poole Family History by H.A.Poole, expanded by DSM:
Nathaniel George Maitland was born at London England, on November 9/1875,
and died at West Byfleet, Surrey, England on February 14/1951 of cancer, was
the fourth son and fifth child of Francis and Annie Jane (Chapman) Maitland of
London.
N.G.Maitland, after a short period with a Discount Bank in London, joined
the Chartered Bank of India, Australia & China (at 18 The Bund), arriving
in Shanghai in November 1898 where he came under the wing of his elder brother,
Edward William (EWM). Their leisure time was spent in amateur dramatics and
sport; photographs show him rowing in an the "Scotch Eight" (#4) for
a club in Shanghai, sailing and partying. A cartoon of him in Celebrities of
the Shanghai Turf indicate he was a supporter of horse racing. When he arrived,
he seems to have become friendly with the Wilcoxson family, whose daughter
Ethel EW married in October 1899; Eleanor later became a close friend of
Ethel's, whose father was in the silk trade.
He moved to Yokohama for the Chartered Bank in 1902, when he met Eleanor
Poole, who he married in 1904. In 1903, he resigned from the Chartered Bank and
joined the International Banking Corp of New York in Yokohama, a subsidiary of
the National City Bank of N.Y. which at that time opened branches in the
Orient. He was soon transferred to their Shanghai branch, where Eleanor joined
him after the birth of their first son, Francis, in Yokohama in 1905, and they
lived there until he retired in 1926.
Jack the second son was born in Shanghai in 1906 and Otis in London in
1909. When in London, EIM found Emily Scotrell who was working for NG's mother:
Emily became Nanny for Otis and later DSM. She lived with the Maitlands for the
rest of her life.
After some years with the International Banking Corporation, Maitland was
able to accomplish his long cherished desire to set himself up in Shanghai as a
Bill & Bullion Exchange Broker, and bought into a partnership with a Mr
Edminston, who died a year later, and he carried on this business with great
success until he retired with a fortune. Maitland took in a well known
Shanghai young man, named Fearn, and for many years was one of the principal
and most highly honoured brokers in Shanghai. (DSM: trading as Maitland, Fearn
& Brand at No 1, The Bund, Shanghai). He built a fine house at No 5 Route
Ghisi in the French Settlement of Shanghai ("Cravenhurst"
9/1910-1914), later selling it to the Standard Oil Co., after which they lived
in rented houses in Wei-hai-wei Road (where DSM was born) and Ferry Road, No
15, owned by another broker, Mr Edblad**, who married a relative of NGM's. In
1919, they took their sons to England, and left them in school and returned for
seven more years in Shanghai, leaving in 1926. At West Byfleet, he bought
"Oakhurst" with 2 acres of garden, lived there for ten years, and
then bought "Frandon" near by, naming it from the first syllables of
their eldest and youngest sons names. (DSM: replacing the original South
African name of Umvoti, considered unpronounceable in 1933, Highfield Rd, W.
Byfleet).
He had a fine baritone voice, sang exceptionally well, and took many solo
parts in the Amateur Dramatic operas. They were married at Christ Church, Yokohama,
on September 14/1904, and lived first at 84 Bluff. According to DSM, he was a
good musician and had considered a career on the stage (light opera) before
deciding to go East. Both his future wife (piano), her brother (violin) and her
mother were musicians and this led to their meeting. DSM was also musical,
being head of choir at school and playing piano jazz in pubs in Cambridge.
Worked with Fordyce Jones on return from the East; they manufactured
rubber products such as bathing hats and hot water bottles.
DSM said he bought a share in the business, maybe in "Reliance
Rubber", at whose jubilee he was photographed in 1939. Fordyce Jones seems
to have been in the UK rubber industry. Reliance Rubber was a company in Hemel
Hempstead. The Reliance Rubber Company Ltd was founded in 1889 in Upper Thames
Street in the City of London. It grew to become the largest manufacturer of
moulded seamless hot water bottles in the world. The company had pioneered the
production of these hot water bottles and together with an American company was
producing 1.5 million a year! The company also made many other rubber products,
including table mats. By the time its factory was fully operational in Hemel
Hempstead employed 200 people.
According to HA Poole, neither of his parents ever left England although
this does not agree with other family stories, but all his brothers came out to
China, where his uncle, J.A. Maitland, amassed a large fortune in the import
trade of English piece goods. (see under Francis Maitland (2)).
DSM: after NGM's death, EIM moved to a part of a house in West Byfleet,
called "Ranmoor", AM remembers it as being full of heavy oriental
furniture and ornaments: Otis lived for some years in a caravan in the garden
after the death of his wife, Peggy. EIM lived at Ranmoor until her death with
Emily Scotrell, her children's nanny. Emily had been with EIM since they
returned to China after Otis's birth in 1909, before which she had worked for
NGM's parents.
1942: Frandon, Highfield Rd, West Byfleet.
DSM remembers his father referring to "Uncle Jam".
** A3M: Harold Edblad married Emma, widow of Andrew Maitland, NGM's father's
1st cousin, son of Andrew Wright Maitland, who appeared staying with Septimus M
in 1861 Census. Harold was Swedish consul in Shanghai, and died in 1916. Emma
lived on until 1978, and passed a lot of information on to her grandson, Peter
Rushbrooke.
NGM an exchange broker at DSM's birth.
NGM's will summary (19/11/1950, of Frandon): Executors Wife, John Armstrong
Maitland, and his solicitor Howard Burt.
Left all to wife if she survived him by over a month; otherwise, £500 to Emily
Scotrell and the rest 1/8th to Rosella Maitland and the remainder between his 3

Died June 1977, of Lung Cancer in Woking, Surrey.
Ref H.A.Poole:
He was educated at Shanghai schools, then Langley Place. St Leonard-on-Sea, and
then Lancing College, Sussex, but did not go to University. He joined the
Anglo-Grecian firm of Conte Michelos, and was sent to Egypt where he worked at
their Alexandria office, and later to their branch at Khartoum, Egyptian Sudan
- their business was in long staple cotton. He lived there several years and
learned to speak Arabic fluently. On the outbreak of the second World War, he
was drafted into the Intelligence Division of the British Army, on account of
his knowledge of Arabic, and was stationed throughout the war in Egypt and
Syria as aide to the Commander in Chief, General Maitland. During the war his
family lived with his wife's parents in Byfleet. After being demobilized (as a
Lt. Col.), he joined several of his fellow army officers and started farming in
the south of England, where they lived in 1951 (in Diss, Norfolk). He married
at St John's, West Byfleet, on October 29/1932, Margaret (Peggy) Joan
Haslehurst, born July 17/1909, died at West Byfleet October 14/1955, of
cerebral thrombosis, daughter of Guy Bartlett and Janet (Hicks) Haslehurst, one
of the partners in Otis' firm, Conte Micholos, then resident in Byfleet.
From newspaper: "Mr. GB Haslehurst gave away the bride, who wore a navy
blue coat and skirt, with white hat, and carried a spray of orchids. There were
no bridesmaids, and Dr Francis Maitland was best man. A Dance reception was
held at the West Byfleet Golf Club in the evening, attended by 170 guests and
the honeymoon is being spent in Paris and Alexandria."
1955, resident of Ranmore, Old Woking Rd, West Byfleet. After Peggy's death, he
lived with his mother. As a child from school, Antony Maitland remembers him
having a caravan in the garden where he kept Beretta 9mm and Webley .45"
automatics complete with ammunition - left over from the War!
Otis later married Jean .... and lived with her and her children in Byfleet
until his death of cancer in the 1970's. He worked for British Aircraft

Married1: Anne Jane Chapman
7/7/1861 @ Parish Church of All Saints, Newcastle on Tyne.
Died1: 16/11/1901 @ 3 Mercer's Rd, Islington, age 64
Buried in Highgate Cemetery, 34433 sq 25, Under Orchard Wall.
For full details, see after Children's entries.
His father was at sea from 25/1/1836 to 6/9/1836: he was probably born in
this period, probably in the latter part and christened when his father
returned from sea. He is described in 1881 as being born in Middlesex, and aged
42, but in 1851, he (presumably from information from his mother who should
have known) is given as being 14 and born in Liverpool, probably the port from
which father sailed. There are connections with Liverpool: his father used a
solicitor there as his executor (and a witness to his will was a resident of
Liverpool) as did his paternal grandfather. His younger brother was born in
Jamaica, and so he must have been there as a child, but was probably back in
England by 1847 when his mother remarried.
Between 1851 and 1875, he called himself a grocer, residing at various
addresses in London. By 1881, he had entered the tea trade, firstly as a clerk,
and by 1901 and when he died, a tea merchant. This is notable: his uncle,
Septimus (only 15 years older, and who died 1902 - see Jamaica Maitlands for
Septimus' details) was also a teamerchant.
Francis' brother, John Andrew was a successful trader in the Far East and
was an executor and co-heir of Septimus; this and/or the tea trade connection
probably encouraged NGM & his brothers to seek their fortunes in China and
Japan. Herbert Poole states that Francis never left England, but family lore
has it that he went to some or all of the gold rushes of the late 19th Century:
DSM has a vague memory of talk of the Lower Transvaal (in the 1850's). His
family was in Newcastle in 1871: where was he in that Census??
DSM: could have been in South Africa (Barberton gold fields) from birth of
EWM in 1865 to after 1871, but HMM born 1872 followed by NGM in 1875.
Note that Ann Chapman's maternal grandmother's father was of Southwick,
Surrey or Bermondsey: was this the connection - how they met? His son, NGM,
employed a nanny, Emily Scottrell, who always said that Francis 3 was "no
good", having started work with Francis & Ann Maitland. He left £136
to his wife in his will.
Emily said that he had been on the Klondike and Australian Gold Rushes and
that he was a waster, drank too much and possibly strayed from marriage! Emily,
however, was a spinster and probably new little about such things.
No trace of him has been found in the Post Office directories between 1875
& 1900.
The Jamaica relatives and their whereabouts are described under Francis

DSM suggests that EJ Chapman (2), "whom I was taken to meet once or
twice (who manufactured gas mantles still used in 1920-30)" was nephew of
AJM's younger brother, EJC1, and that his son was a director of Simmonds
brewery and of Simmonds, Farson and Cisk brewery in Malta: in about 1962, DSM's
brother JAM became alternate director to EJC's son, but cannot remember his
name. It appears from her death certificate that EJ Chapman was her younger
brother, or his son also Edward J Chapman.
In 1901, 2 EJ Chapmans were listed in the PO Directory of London, one a
beer retailer, the other a publican. Probably not ours. An EJ Chapman was in
London by the early 20's as he was witness at Ann Jane Maitland's death.

DSM:
JAM worked for Gt Eastern Railway @ Liverpool St. (contrary to HA Poole who
said all sons of Francis 3 went to Far East).

department for Arnold Karberg & Co, Shanghai. They came to live in Yokohama
after their marriage, and after retiring, lived some years in Switzerland (to
avoid high English taxes) and then settled in West Byfleet, Surrey, where he
died June 27 1943 of cancer.

Interport Cricket - Hong Kong v. Shanghai
The Interport teams of Hong Kong and Shanghai from October 1892 - click for a
larger picture
The first Interport cricket match between Hong Kong and Shanghai was played in
1866, 15 years after the founding of the Hong Kong Cricket Club. The series of
home and away matches continued until 1948, just prior to the Communist
takeover of China in 1949.
The following passage regarding the 1892 Interport matches between Hong Kong
and Shanghai is taken from Peter Hall's book '150 Years of Cricket in Hong
Kong':
"Two matches were played in this year, the first in Hong Kong during an
'excessively' hot February, when a very strong Hong Kong side defeated Shanghai
by an innings and 132 runs. Captain John Dunn, although dropped on 45, 89 and
in the 90's, batted 'brilliantly' to score the first Interport century. EW
Maitland (No. 9) and G Taylor (No. 10), each with half centuries, helped the
side amass over 400 runs.
Shanghai were bowled out by EJ Coxon and Dr JA Lowson, who had match analyses
of 12 for 121 and 8 for 98 respectively.
Hong Kong: 429
Shanghai: 163 and 134
When Hong Kong visited Shanghai in October that same year, certain leading Hong
Kong players were unable to make the trip. The same 'for business or other
reasons' problem applied equally to Shanghai, when the Interport took place in
Hong Kong.
The match result was reversed in equally dominant fashion, Shanghai winning by
157 runs. Lowson took the first eight wickets for 66 runs in Shanghai's first
innings, but was 'lamed' again when batting and couldn't bowl in Shanghai's
second innings! Sgt Mumford, with his 'underhand grubbers', had the Shanghai players
mesmerised and captured 6-68. But it was AGH Carruthers who devastated Hong
Kong with 5-29 and 8-41 respectively.
Shanghai: 112 and 202
Hong Kong: 78 and 79"

PR: born Newburn 13/9/1809, ch 8/10/1809

& Jane McClay, native of Heworth.
Born: before 1811 in Newburn (ref Census)
Parents: George Chapman & Jane McClay (no IGI details)
Died: Aft 1881.
His census records show him as being born in Newburn: this is born out by a
suitable baptism record at Newburn. He was an officer of customs when daughter
Ann was born, but no record of his service in the Customs in Newcastle or
neighbouring ports have been found: the records are not very complete. He also
does not appear on the superannuation records. His Customs service may have
been short. He was at the Customs House as a "Glut Tide Waiter" (as a
widower) in the 1851 census, but his children were with his wife's parents: she
had died by then? For the rest of his life recorded in the census's, he was a
clerk or agent. In 1841, he lived in the Postern District of Newcastle, close
the centre of town. After his wife's death, he and his children lived with his
sisters and their families, daughter Ann, by then married, visiting in 1871.
Interestingly, an Albert J Chapman aged 44,
born London, lived next door to the Maitlands in 1891. No obvious relation.

Album 9 (Dower House collection):
Bubbling Well Rd, Shanghai, "my first Sunday in Shanghai", NGM's
album.
This album was compiled by NGM in Shanghai over a couple of years before he
went to Yokohama and before he met Eleanor Poole. It shows him with his elder
brother, EW Maitland, and the Wilcoxson family whose daughter Ethel EW married
in 1899. There are some pictures of the Maitland homes in London: 6 Yerbury Rd
where NGM lived before leaving London, and what is probably 3 Mercer's Rd where
his parents lived in 1901. The interiors are interesting, and must be the same
family as some ornaments are in both houses. The latter house has a photograph
of EW's wedding on the wall, just identifiable from the arrangement of the
people in the group (a good copy is in EI Poole's early album): this shows that
the photograph must have been taken no earlier than November 1899! Mercer's Rd
has a portrait of what looks to be Francis's mother Harriett Carpenter,
although she looks thinner faced (may be younger) than another portrait owned
by James Maitland. The characteristic downsloping eyes are the same in both,
and shared by Francis 3 and his sons EW and Francis. The group at Yerbury Rd
includes Francis, looking very hirsute! A photograph of AJM at Mercer's Rd
shows her to be a substantial woman.

Englishman Andrew Yule traveled to India in 1858, where his family's business
interests stemmed from the late 18th century. Andrew Yule began building his
own fold of businesses through acquisitions, one of the first being the
Hoolungpooree Tea company, which later became part of Andrew Yule &
Company, established in 1863 in Calcutta, then the Indian capitol.
Yule's company soon began acting as a shipping agent, and by 1866 had become
the Indian representative for a number of insurance companies, as well as a
textile company. Over the following decade, Yule continued to develop his
business empire, adding, in 1875, coal, jute, and cotton companies as well. In
that year, Yule was joined by two other family members, brother George Yule and
their nephew David Yule. George Yule took over the leadership of the Yule
companies, retiring in 1891. In that year, David Yule took over as head of
Andrew Yule & Company. By then, the Yule company's holdings consisted of
four jute mills, three tea companies, its own insurance company, and a cotton
mill.
Under David Yule, the company grew into a major shipping agent between India
and the rest of the United Kingdom, and Yule himself became one of the
kingdom's wealthiest men. Yule began expanding the company, with a particular
interest in its tea and jute operations. After buying out his uncles and
becoming sole owner in 1902, Yule expanded the company's interests to include
18 tea companies and eight jute mills. Yule also added an inland shipping
business, four coal companies, two flour mills, and an oil mill. Other
acquisitions in the years leading up to World War I included a small railroad
and a real estate company.
In 1911, David Yule sold the company to merchant banker Morgan Grenfell, the
British arm of the JP Morgan banking empire. Yule remained on as chairman of
the company, which retained the Andrew Yule & Co. name. Joining Yule at the
company was Thomas Catto, who was named the company's vice-chairman. Catto
quickly became the driving force behind the company, as the older Yule, by then
Sir David, approached retirement. In 1920, the company's name was changed to
Yule Catto. Thomas Catto, later Lord Catto, was named as managing director of
Morgan Grenfell at the end of the 1920s.
