Information for Lord G.C.B., G.B.E Josiah Charles (STAMP) STEMP from John TERRY's web site 29/4/2015 1st Baron STEMP of SHORTLANDS Trevor Charles STAMP, his father and mother made a trip from Southampton on the "Majestic" arriving in New York on 30th March 1932, he married on the 5th April 1932 in America so assume they were making this trip for that purpose. Information from John TERRY's web site 20/3/2015 Obituary from findagrave web site 1st Baron STAMP of Shortlands was a British civil servant, industrialist, economist, statistician and banker. He was a director of the Bank of England and chairman of the London Midland and Scottish Railway. Born in London he was the third of seven children. He left school at 16 and joined the Civil Service as a boy clerk in the Inland Revenue Department, where he rose to become assistant secretary in 1916. Meanwhile he was studying economics as an external student. He was awarded a first class degree (1911) by the University of London and a doctorate (1916) by the London School of Economics. He became the leading British expert on taxation. He look an active part in the work of the Royal Statistical Society serving as president in 1930 - 1932. In 1919 he changed career, leaving the civil service for business, to join as secretary and director Nobel Industries Ltd, from which Imperial Chemical Industries developed. He was knighted in 1920. In 1928 he was appointed a director of the Bank of England. He was raised to the peerage in 1938 as Baron Stamp of Shortlands. STAMP was killed by a bomb in 1941. Although there is a picture of the Gravestone I cannot read the inscriptions on any of it. It would appear that a further person was added to the grave in 1985 as well as the couple and their son who were all killed by the bomb in 1941. Information from Wikipedia Josiah Charles STAMP, 1st Baron Stamp, Bt, GCB, GBE, FBA (21 June 1880 - 16 April 1941), was an English industrialist, economist, civil servant, statistician, writer, and banker. He was a director of the Bank of England and chairman of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway. Life and career STAMP was born in Hampstead, London, the third of seven children; his youngest brother L. Dudley STAMP became an internationally renowned geographer. At the time of his birth his father owned and managed a provision and general shop in London. Educated at a private Baptist school, Bethany House at Goudhurst, Kent, Josiah left school at 16 and joined the Civil Service as a boy clerk in the Inland Revenue Department. With a brief interval in the Board of Trade, he rose to assistant inspector of taxes at Hereford in 1903, an inspector of taxes in London in 1909, and assistant secretary in 1916. Meanwhile he was studying economics as an external student. He was awarded a first class degree (1911) by the University of London and a doctorate (1916) by the London School of Economics. The thesis, published as British Incomes and Property, became a standard work on the subject and established his academic reputation. STAMP met his future wife, Olive Jessie MARSH, a soprano and student teacher, when he was seventeen. Pursuing their work and studies separately for several years until their marriage in 1903, they engaged in a correspondence that gives us a rich sense of STAMP's formative years (JONES 1964). Between 1904 and 1917 they had four sons, Wilfred, Trevor, Maxwell and Colin. It was as a result of this marriage that STAMP, son of a Baptist father and Church of England mother, converted to the Wesleyan Methodist Church. A few of his writings (see below), such as Christianity and Economics (1939), discuss the relevance of Christian values to contemporary economics systems. In 1919 STAMP changed career, leaving the civil service for business, to join as secretary and director of Nobel Industries Ltd, from which Imperial Chemical Industries developed. In 1926 he became Chairman of the LMS and was instrumental in getting William STANIER appointed in 1932 as Chief Mechanical Engineer to resolve the locomotive problems of the Company. In 1928 he was appointed a director of the Bank of England. STAMP was often called to serve on public commissions, committees and boards: he was a member of the Royal Commission on Income Tax, 1919, the Northern Ireland Finance Arbitration Committee, 1923–24, the Committee on Taxation and National Debt, 1924, the Dawes Reparation Commission's Committee on German Currency and Finance, 1924, the Young Committee in 1929 and the Economic Advisory Council, 1930–39. From 1927 until his death he was Colonel commanding the Royal Engineers Railway and Transport Corps, and became Honorary Colonel of Transportation Units in the Royal Engineers Supplementary Reserve in 1938. STAMP was widely regarded as the leading British expert on taxation, and took an active part in the work of the Royal Statistical Society, serving as president from 1930 to 1932.[7] STAMP was appointed Commander in the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 1918, Knight in the Order (KBE) in 1920, and Knight Grand Cross (GBE) in 1924 and Knight Grand Cross of the Bath (GCB) in 1936. He was a Knight of Grace of the Order of St John of Jerusalem. He also held the Grand Cross of the Austrian Order of Merit (awarded 1936) and the Afghan Order of Astaur.[4] He was raised to the peerage on 28 June 1938 as Baron STAMP of Shortlands, in the County of Kent. He was first Mayor of the Borough of Beckenham, Kent, within which he had settled at Shortlands, in 1935. He was made an honorary Freeman of the same borough in 1936 and of Blackpool in 1937. STAMP refused to be moved out of his house, 'Tantallon', in Park Hill Road, Shortlands, because of German bombing during The Blitz. He, aged sixty, and his wife, aged sixty-three, were killed by a bomb's direct hit on the air-raid shelter at their home on 16 April 1941. They were buried at Beckenham Cemetery. Ironically in 1935, he had been a founder member of the Anglo-German Fellowship and had made low key visits to Nuremberg in 1936 (when he met Adolf Hitler – whom STAMP noted was a "statesman and demagogue combined" - and Franz von Papen), and 1937, to view the Nazi Party Congress with the unspoken support of the then Foreign Secretary Lord Halifax. STAMP's son Wilfred was killed at the same time and in the same place, but English law has legal fiction that in the event of the order of deaths being indeterminable, the elder is deemed to have died first. Legally therefore, Wilfred momentarily inherited the peerage: and as a consequence the family had to pay death duty twice. The peerage passed to the second of STAMP's four sons, Trevor. Quotes A well known quote from STAMP (often referred to as STAMP's Law) is: "The government are very keen on amassing statistics. They collect them, add them, raise them to the nth power, take the cube root and prepare wonderful diagrams. But you must never forget that every one of these figures comes in the first instance from the chowky dar (village watchman in India), who just puts down what he damn pleases." (STAMP recounting a story from Harold COX who quotes an anonymous English judge). Another quote often attributed to Stamp is: "Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." (Said to be from an informal talk at the University of Texas in the 1920s, but as yet unverified.] Josiah Charles Stamp, 1st Baron Stamp, Bt, GCB, GBE, FBA, (June 21, 1880-April 16, 1941) was a British civil servant, industrialist, 1941 Obituary [1] "...say that Lord STAMP, whose death by enemy action we mourn, was the greatest financial economist of his day, we should be at once reminded of two or three other men who might challenge that distinction. But if we say that he was the most widely known, that will perhaps be accepted. He had a reputation as a lecturer, and, as is common in such cases, many people went to hear the man though they could not understand the matter. In truth, he was often not easy to follow, and some of his addresses are more suitable for the study than the platform. He was a conventional economist-at least, we cannot recall any novel financial proposals being advanced by him. But he was conventional..." http://www.cracroftspeerage.co.uk/online/content/stamp1938.htm Arms: Gules between two Garbs Or three Bezants in bend each charged with a Horse passant Sable Crest: Issuant from a Mount Vert bezanty a Demi-Horse Argent Supporters: On either side a Horse Argent resting the interior hind leg on a Bezant Motto: Fidei Commissa Teneo (I hold in trust that which is trusted to me) Inscription on a placque in Beckenham Methodist Church IN PROUD AND LOVING MEMORY OF/ JOSIAH CHARLES STAMP/ FIRST BARON STAMP OF SHORTLANDS:/ IN THE COUNTY OF KENT G.C.B.

From Wikipedia Wilfred Carlyle STAMP, 2nd Baron Stamp, MA, ACA (28 October 1904 - 16 April 1941) was a son of the British banker Josiah STAMP, 1st Baron STAMP. He holds the record for holding a peerage for the shortest length of time. STAMP was born in Hereford, while his father was working there as a civil servant for the Inland Revenue. He was educated at the The Leys School, Cambridge, then went up to King's College at Cambridge University, where he graduated as Master of Arts. He became by profession a chartered accountant. At time of his death he lived near his father at 'Farringleys', Park Hill Road, Shortlands, Beckenham, Kent.[2] STAMP was killed, aged thirty-six, along with his father Josiah STAMP, the second-richest man in Britain at the time, when the latter's house, 'Tantallon' in Park Hill Road, Shortlands, Beckenham, was bombed in 1941 during The Blitz.[ Stamp's mother, Olive Jessie Stamp, Baroness STAMP, was killed by the same bomb. They were buried at Beckenham Cemetery. English law has legal fiction that in cases where the order of death is indeterminable, the eldest is recorded to have died first. Legally therefore Wilfred momentarily inherited the peerage of Baron STAMP and the family had to pay death duty twice. Because Wilfred left no sons, the peerage was passed to his father's second son Trevor. The shortest peerage without legal fiction was Charles BRANDON, 3rd Duke of Suffolk who inherited his peerage from his brother, Henry Brandon, 2nd Duke of Suffolk for an hour.

There is so much information for this family on various Web Sites, I have now covered some of it but a many trips were made to America for various reasons, and details for head of family Josiah as Chairman of the L.M.S appears in so many places and the fact the he, his wife were killed when a bomb fell on their property in 1941 makes it impossible to cover everything. I have found the following article which relates to the bombing of Bromley on the night Josiah STAMP, his wife and son and from this it also appears his sons three daughters (but this does not appear to be the case as his three daughter appear to be alive after this date) A reprint of "The Times" printed on Thursday 14th April 2011, Page 19 Dawn broke on a tragic scene of destroyed churches, shops in ruins and lives ended • Dunn's furniture store in Market Square was destroyed in a fire following the raid Wednesday April 16, 1941, was the blackest day in the history of Bromley. Soon after dark on this spring evening the air-raid alert sounded and an attacking force of more than 650 bombers flew over Kent en route for London. The bombers released their load over Bromley and the first to receive a direct hit was St Peter and St Paul Church. A 550-pound bomb caused so much damage that only the tower was left standing. Huge pieces of masonry and timber were hurled into the gardens of nearby properties, killing an 18-year-old sixth-former, Hazel Kissick, who was on fire-watching duties. Four more high explosives fell in Church House Gardens and further bombs completely wrecked Church House. The majority of the population had taken cover but so heavy and prolonged was the raid that 74 people died, more than 200 were injured and fires were everywhere. It was impossible for the 146 appliances, which attended, to maintain any kind of control. The all-clear sounded at 4.30 and dawn revealed the tragic scene. As well as the parish church, St Mark's, Bromley Congregational Church, the Methodist Central Hall and the Robert Whyte Memorial Hall were all destroyed. Also hit was Dunn's furniture store in the Market Square, Bromley bus garage (damaging 60 vehicles), St Mark's Chapel of Ease in Westmoreland Road, a printing works in Green Lane, Penge, a row of shops in Risdale Road, Penge, and a block of flats in Southover on the Downham estate. Flames In the borough of Bromley more than 140 people died, including Lord Stamp of Shortlands, his wife, his elder son and three daughters. (I do not think the three daughter died at this time) Church House was a command centre for the Royal Observer Corps and it had been manned day and night since August 1939. As flames engulfed the house, fired by a stick of incendiaries, the men wisely abandoned their post and sought shelter. Firefighters got close to the scene but could not help because Church Road had been blocked by the ruins of the parish church. This well known mansion was virtually obliterated. Twelve high explosives fell on the Bromley Common area, many harmlessly in fields by Crown Lane, Magpie Hall Lane and Prince's Plain School. Another hit an Anderson shelter behind 3 Jackson Road, killing four people. High explosives fell on Hayes Common close to an AA gun encampment. . Elsewhere bombs fell in Palace Road, Kinniard Avenue, Wendover Road, South View, Plaistow Lane and Mason's Hill School. Great fires burned at Bromley Court Hotel, the Homeopathic Hospital, the Duke's Head public house and the old telephone exchange. The County Court was damaged by a bomb in College Road. For the fire service, the ARP wardens, the ambulance staff and hospitals this was the most harrowing night they had ever experienced and, in the words of the Civil Defence Controller, "brought a test of a magnitude not exceeded in any town ... having regard to our size and population". Princess Elizabeth laid the foundation stone for a new Church of St Peter and St Paul on October 13, 1949, and on December 14, 1957, the Bishop of Rochester consecrated the new building. More recently an organ, built in 1991 by JW Walker and Sons and considered one of the finest built in England during the 20th century was installed in the church. Those readers who remember clearly that tragic date in Bromley's history - April 16, 1941 - may care to write to me with their memories.

The idea of these charts is to give the information that we have found in the research we have done and put together and with the help of many other people who have contacted us over the past thirty odd years we have been researching our family. The idea is that you click on the Chart box in blue to be taken to the next family. There is now a large number of charts to be found and connections can be made to all the main families I am researching. If a chart has a box with the standard background it means that as yet I have not put the Chart on the Web.
To conform to the Data Protection Act all the Charts have been altered to exclude all details for living people other than the name.

If you have comments, alterations, corrections, amendments etc. please follow the details to be found on the Home Page to contact me.
