• Notes

  Biography of William Crosby Barlow 1837 - 1912 William was born in Shildon, County Durham, to Thomas Barlow and Margaret Dennison. He was baptized on 27th September 1837 in the Parish Church of Shildon, despite being the child of Wesleyan Methodist parents. This was frequently the case, particularly before civil registration began in 1837. William's birth was not recorded officially, as many births at this time were not. At William's birth, his father's occupation was given as grocer. In 1841, he was living with his parents, grandparents, aunt Elizabeth, sister Mary, brother George and a domestic servant, Clara, in Market Place, Shildon. At the age of about 7, the family moved to the Isle of Wight, and around the country as Thomas preached in various places. William went to school in Norwich in 1857. He also went to school (the High School and the Andersonian) in Glasgow, and although he was there for 2 years, there is no record of exactly when this was. In 1857, he undertook a course of study at Hackney Theological College. In that year, he matriculated (first division), and received honours in Mathematics and Natural Philosophy, Chemistry, and Zoology. On June 28th 1858, he read an essay on "The Priesthood of the Son of God on Earth and in Heaven" to the annual meeting of the Theological Seminary of Hackney. With this essay, he had won the ‘First Homes's Jubilee Prize.' In 1859, he received a B.A. second division, and an Honours aware in chemistry. He was living in Stepney at the time. He resigned as a student in 1859. The minutes of the College Committee for 21st September 1859 record...."A letter was read from Mr. W.C. Barlow , stating that circumstances have rendered him desirous of leaving the Seminary shortly and requesting that he may be allowed to remain until the conclusion of the B.A. examination in the London University, commencing on the fourth Monday in October. Resolved that Mr. Barlow's resignation be accepted and that his request be complied with." In 1861, he was ordained as a minister for Stratford on Avon, which had experienced a rift with the established Congregational Church. He held services thee regularly in a room on Guild Street for about two and a half years. "Mr. Barlow was a man of choice spirit and it is believed that he did much towards bringing about the reunion." (Source of that quote is unkown) In 1862, he married Mary Ann Pollard, the daughter of William Pollard and his wife Lucy Crossley. William Pollard was born in Westbourne, Sussex in 1806, the son of Edmund Pollard and Mary Gammons. William Pollard had a brother, James and a sister Emily. William and Lucy Pollard lived in Chelsea, where their children were born. (Mary Ann 1834, Lucy Maria 1844, Joseph 1847) William ran a butcher shop at 27 d'Oyley Street, Chelsea and later in Welton, Lincolnshire. Mary Ann was a teacher when she married William Crosby Barlow. From Stratford, where their first son, Crossley William Crosby was born in 1863,, they moved to Purewell, Christchurch, although William was not the preacher there. In fact, it seemed that he had not held a Congregational Ministry except for the one in Stratford. In Christchurch, thomas Henry Crosby (1864), wilfred Crosby (1866) and Joseph Pllard Crosby (1867) were born. In 1876, the family moved to Edinburgh, where William signed up for an M.A. at the university. He enrolled Crossley when he was 16 in 1879 and Thomas in 1880, after they both had spent some time at the George Watson's College School, attached to the University. William obtained the M.A. on 22nd April 1879. In 1880, William is recorded as being back in London as Minister at the New Jerusalem Church, Flodden Road, Camberwell, London where he appears to have stayed until 1887, living at Sandiford, County Grove, S.E. at the time. In 1891, he was living at 10 Wilson St., Camberwell. The census shows him living with Mary Ann, ThomasHenry Crosby, Joseph Pollard Crosby, and Rosa W. Barlow, adopted daughter and scholar (student?), aged 12, born in Camberwell. It appears that by 1891, Crossley had married Elizabeth Sophia and Wilfred had married Adelaide Ellen. William was written up in the Congregational (Church) year book from time to time, but as being without pastoral charge. Mary Ann Barlow died May 25th, 1898 from cancer. At the time of Mary Ann's death, they had been living at 12 Dumbleton Road, East Brixton for 12 years. Also at that time, William was working as a form master at the Polytechnic School on Regent Street. In January 1899, William married again at the age of 61. He married Jessie Bettell, a 36 year ol spinster from 58 East Dulwich Road. This wedding was witnessed by Ada May Malcolm and Laurie Wells, who was believed to be Jessie's sister. William died on May 29, 1912. Cause of death was listed as enlarged prostate and senility which could have been alzheimers. At the time of his death, he was living at 4 Pentney Road, Wimbledon, Surrey. His will left effects of 297 pounds to his widow. Of William's other children, in 1903, Crossley was living at 147 South Croxted Road, West Dulwich. There is no date of death for Crossley but it is known that his wife, Elizabeth Sophia died January 29, 1934. The address at that time was 72 Upper Tollingkton Park, Middlesex, leaving a sum of_______. Crossley's occupation was listed as a tutor. Wilfred died on September 19, 1924, leaving 61 pounds, 8 shillings and two pence to his wife, Adelaide Ellen. At the time of his death, they were living at 72 Lancaster road, Gipsy Hill, West Norwood. There is no information at this time on Joseph or Rosa, or whether William had any children with Jessie.
