110	Citation details Associated facts Media Citation information Transcript Edward Seymour's other two sons remained in England. Ebenezer became a schoolmaster and taught for some years at the village school in Colnbrook near Windsor. In about 1850, married and with a family, he moved to London to take over the school at Winchester Hall, Pentonville (a large State school now stands on the site). The youngest of their children, Emmeline (my grandmother), helped in the school and later played a part in the "Penny Reading Movement" in which illiterate people of the neighbourhood paid a penny a week to have read to them the latest instalments of the novels of Charles Dickens or other popular writers. She was a Sunday school teacher and a District visitor, and married Eben. Lewis, a childhood friend and former pupil at the school who used to walk through orchards to visit the family! Meanwhile John, the eldest son of Edward Seymour, was running a successful printing business in the City at Cheapside, after serving an apprenticeship to Benjamin Meredith of Silver Street, Cheapside, for seven years. In the census of 1851 he is cited as a Printer. Master, employing 13 men. He took up the Freedom of the City, Stationers Company, in 1824, and the inscription reads as follows—"John Teulon, son of Edward, and late apprentice to Benjamin Meredith was admitted into the Freedom aforesaid, and sworn in the Mayoralty of John Garrett, Esq., Mayor, and D. K. Stack, Esq., Chamberlain, and is entered in the book signed with the letter E. relating to the purchasing of Freedoms and admissions of Freeman, to wit, the 7th day of December in the 5th year of the reign of King George the Fourth and in the Year of our Lord 1824. In witness thereof the seal of the office of Chamberlain of the said City is hereunto affixed. Dated in the Chamber of the Guildhall of the same City the day and year abovesaid." Much of John's time and money was spent in helping Lord Shaftesbury in his efforts to alleviate the terrible conditions in which many of the poor children of London lived out their short lives. He married twice; first Elizabeth Ede, by whom he had six children, two boys and four girls. Of the boys, the elder, Alfred Truelove, died at twenty-four, the other, Henry, helped to run the printing business, then eventually went to Montreal. John's daughter, Elizabeth, in 1845, married Samuel Pickforth Woodward "the eminent Naturalist, who held important posts in the British Museum, in the departments of Geology and Mineralogy, and whose 'Manual of the Mollusca' was the standard work on the subject" (Harmsworths Encyclopaedia). The witnesses at this marriage were Samuel's brother, Bernard Bolingbroke Woodward, who was librarian to Queen Victoria at Windsor, and his wife, Frances Emma Teulon, cousin to Elizabeth. John married again at the age of sixty-seven, a Mrs. Harriet Rhodes (Lewes, 1864) and of this marriage there was one son, John Selven. They now lived in Campden Hill Square. Being a child of elderly parents, he spent very little time in their company. He was sent to boarding school at the age of six, and when at home, sought the comfort of the kitchen and friendly servants. Later in life he found great companionship in the home of his cousin, Emmeline Teulon (now Mrs. Lewis). Here he mixed with his six second cousins, five girls and one boy, who were of course nearer to his own age. One day one of the small girls, while sitting too close to the open fire, caught her long fair hair alight, and was saved from serious burns by John's presence of mind. Later, when the girl, Evangeline, was eighteen and John, twenty-four, they were married and had three daughters, Ellen, Victoria and myself . John had spent some time in the printing business and had changed to engineering, but the loves of his life were the organ and the steam locomotive.

Death arising from a Pugilistic Contest, An inquisition was this day taken before John Charsley, Esq., coroner for Rucks, at the Ktns's Anns Inn, Colnbrook, on view of the body of Henry Scott, before a most respetible jury, whose attention was occupied iu]n the investigation of the matter most of the day. The first witness whoappeared, resided in the parish where the fight took place, and clearly proved that it was a battle for pugilistic skill, and conducted in a fair way; that the deceased was knocked down several times, and received several blows on the neck, and one on the left side the neck, which was then visible on the deceased; that his combitant was named Edward Brown. The next witness resided in town, and volunteered his evidence. It seemed that had come to the spot at Coinbrook, on Tuesday last, witness light between Inglis and Turner, and after that was over a purse was made for the deceased and Brown to fight for; the former was known amongst amateurs by the name of the Fighting Snob of Shepperton, and the latter as the Sprig of Myrtle. He corroborated the last witness as to the particular blow on the neck, on several other points. It also appeared in evidence from another witness, that the deceased, after about the tenth round, declined fighting any more, requested to laid down, and he was so, on the table in the booth ; then became insensible, and continued so until his death, which took place on the following day. He was removed from the booth to the King’s Arms, Colnbrook, and received every necessary attention, both medical aud otherwise. Two respectable surgeons who had examined the body of the deceased, and operated upon his head, gave their evidence, which proved that the blow received by the deceased from his antagonist on the neck, had affected the jugular vein, aud was sufficient to have ruptured the vessels of the brain, and to have caused its compression by extravasaled blood; and which they said was the cause of the death of Henry Scott. The Coroner, after reading over the evidence to the jury, and having distinguished a case of ‘murder from that of manslaughter, begged they would consider the evidence, and return such a verdict as would satisfy their consciences and the country.
