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) 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 daughters 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. 1891 82 High Road, Hampstead, Middlesex.

Sir (Laurence) Dudley Stamp, CBE, DSc, D. Litt, LLD, Ekon D, DSc Nat (9 March 1898 - 8 August 1966), was professor of geography at Rangoon and London, and one of the internationally best known British geographers of the 20th century. Information from John TERRY's web page 28/4/2015 Sir Laurence Dudley STAMP was the son of Charles Stamp and Clara Jane EVANS. He married Else Clara REA on 5 May 1923.1 He died on 8 August 1966. There are lots of trips around the world for Lawrence and Elsa, to name a few Alaska, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Fiji, Honolulu, Hong Kong, India, Jamaica, Spain and USA. As there are so many I have not included details on chart above but have just noted here that they were well travelled. Laurence) Dudley (Sir. He was , Prof Social Geography LSE 1948–58 (Prof Emeritus 1958), Pres Internat Geographic Union 1952–56, member Royal Commission n Common Land 1955–58 and Nature Conservancy 1958, Ch Advisor Rural Land Use Minister Ag 1942–55, knighted 1965, DLitt, DSc, Honour Doct on 9 March 1898. He was Commander, Order of the British Empire (C.B.E.) in 1946 Wikipedia Educated at King's College London, he specialised in the study of geology and geography and taught at the universities of Rangoon (1923-26) and London (1926-45). From 1936 to 1944 he directed the compilation and publication of the report of the Land Utilisation Survey of Britain. He worked on many official enquiries into the use of land and planning. Early life and education STAMP was born in Catford, London in 1898, the seventh child of a shopkeeper; his elder brother Josiah became the banker Lord STAMP of Shortlands. He attended University School, Rochester (1910-13), where he joined the Rochester and District Natural History Society. He then studied for a BSc at King's College London, graduating with first-class honours in 1917. Following military service he returned to King's as a demonstrator. His friendship with a student, his future wife Elsa REA, led to an interest in geography. They both sat for the BA in 1921, STAMP again taking a first. He was awarded a DSc in the same year. First world war STAMP served in the British army during World War I in France and Belgium from 1917 to 1919. Whilst away his research paper on the Silurian of Clun Forest was read on his behalf to the Geological Society of London. Professional and academic career STAMP spent the early 1920s as a petroleum geologist in the then British Empire colony of Burma, marrying and becoming professor of geology and geography in the new University of Rangoon in 1923. In 1926 he returned to the UK, becoming Reader in Economic geography at the London School of Economics (LSE). In the 1930s STAMP formed the Land Utilisation Survey of Britain, a major project to survey of the whole country using volunteers including colleagues, students, school teachers and pupils, on a scale of 6 inches to a mile. Publication of maps and reports began in 1933 and was completed in 1948, after interruption by the Second World war. STAMP reported on the reaction of a farmer who came across a school class doing land-use survey on his land. Angry at first, the farmer was pacified by the explanation of the schoolmaster, and then later wrote approvingly to his local newspaper that this approach was valuable both to the pupils and the community. STEMP went on to act as a consultant to many national governments and prepared a general scheme for a world land use survey which was adopted by the International Geographical Union. STAMP became professor of Economic geography in 1945 and moved to the chair of Social geography in 1948. Whilst at LSE STAMP held senior posts at many organisations, including presidency of section E of the British Association (1949), the Geographical Association (1950), the International Geographical Union (1952–6) and the Institute of British Geographers (1956), and vice-presidency of the Royal Society of Arts (1954–6).[2] He also acted as a government advisor - as vice-chairman of the Scott committee on land utilisation in rural areas (1941-2), as chief adviser on rural land utilisation in the Ministry of Agriculture (1942-55), developed the idea of land classification which was officially adopted for planning purposes and was a member of the Royal Commission on Common Land (1955-8). He retired in 1958. Retirement Besides DIY work at home in Bude, Cornwall, STAMP acted as a director of the family grocery firm and was president of the Institute of Grocers (1960-63). His work as a geographer and government advisor however was far from over. He was a member of the Nature Conservancy from 1958, chairman of the British National Committee for Geography (1961-6) and president of the Royal Geographical Society (1963-6). STAMP's wife Elsa died in 1962. In 1964 he chaired the organising committee of the Twentieth International Geographical Union Congress in London; a keen philatelist, he successfully argued for a set of commemorative stamps. In 1965 he chaired the National Resources Advisory Committee of the Ministry of Land and Natural Resources. Stamp died of heart failure in 1966 at a conference in Mexico City; he is reputed to have just completed a quest to visit every country in the world. He was buried in Bude. Legacy Much of the development of government policy for land-use control in Britain may be traced back to STAMP's land utilisation survey and analysis of land-use changes. Second Land-use survey A second land utilisation survey was initiated by Alice COLEMAN (later professor of geography at STAMP's alma mater King's College London) in 1960, following STAMPS's approach of the use of volunteers. Although around 3000 volunteers completed much of the field work, only a limited amount was published at 1:25,000 due to printing problems. Land-Use UK In 1996 the Geographical Association organized a further survey with the participation of around 50,000 school pupils. Dudley Stamp Memorial Fund The Royal Society's Dudley Stamp Memorial Fund provides small grants for geographers to assist them in postgraduate research or study travel likely to lead to the advancement of geography and to international co-operation in the study of the subject. Part of an Obituary for Professor Sir Dudley Stamp C.B.E it comes from http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/213163?sid=21106320737773&uid=70&uid=2&uid=3739256&uid=4&uid=2129 but only shows the first page and it is $12 dollars to view the whole item Laurence Dudley STAMP 1898-1966 PROFESSOR Sir Dudley STEMP, C.B.E., died on August 8, 1966 in Mexico City at the age of sixty-eight. He had been ailing for a time, but, with that "devotion to something afar" which had characterized the man all his life, he continued to honor every obligation put upon him, no matter how heavy or inconvenient. He died, was we are sure he would have wished to do, in harness. He was attending the Latin American Regional Conference of the International Geographical Union, and only three days before his death he had spent several hours with Professor S. P CHATTERJEE, the president of the I.G.U., in developing plans for the International Congress to be held in New Delhi in 1968. Laurence Dudley STAMP was born at Catford near London on March 9, 1898. He was the youngest of a family of seven, of who the eldest, Josiah, became the first Lord STAMP, the eminent economist and statistician. Because of chronically poor health, Dudley STAMP received little formal schooling. Nevertheless, , the grades he obtained in the Cambridge Senior Local (school-leaving) Examination in 1913 were good enough to get him accepted a a student at King's College, London, at the phenomenally early age of fifteen. In his four years of work there, he completed the course requirements in two undergraduate programs. In 1917 he enlisted in the Artists' Rifles, and he utilized his first leave to sit the final B.Sc. examination in geology, which he passed with First-Class Honours. Subsequently commissioned in the Royal Engineers, he served in northeastern France, where between actions, he found time to undertake geological fieldwork that earned him an M.Sc. degree soon after demobilization. He returned to King's College as a demonstrator on the staff of the Geology Department, and in the next two years he added two more degrees, a D.Sc in geology and a B.A with First-Class Honours in geography (this latter being taken externally - by "moonlighting".). A short spell in Burma as a geological adviser to the Indo-Burma Petroleum Company, during which he discovered a hill of iron ore but little oil, led to his appointment, at twenty-five, as professor of geology and geography in the University of Rangoon. While there, with help of his young bride, Elsa, he began to write a series of regional geographies for school and college use that was to bring him fame and fortune and as many graduate students as any university professor can, even at this late date we imagine, claim for his own. Fortunately was was a fast writer and thus able to spend a good deal of time in the field, in Malay, Indonesia, and China as well as in Burma. In 1926 he returned to England to take up the Sir Ernest CASSELL Readership in Economic Geography at the London School of Economic, a position he held until 1945, when, on the retirement of L. Rodwell JONES, he was appointed professor of geography at the same institution. In 1949 he was given the chair - newly instituted and, in a sense "custom-made" for him - of social geography. This he held until, in 1958 at the early age of sixty, he retired, becoming professor emeritus and honary lecturer. This by itself is a record of which any geographer could be proud, but is less than half of the STAMP story: indeed, it takes up less than one-third of his entry in Who's Who, For, beginning in the 1930's continuing without intermission until the day of his death, Dudley STAMP served his generation in a series of public capacities that no other British geographer has equaled and few have approached "Seen in perspective", as the London Times wrote on.......... And that is where the page ends, so I do not know how much more was written about him. Chambers Biographical Dictionary STEMP Sir Lawrence DUDLEY 1898-1966 English geographer Born in London, he was educated at Kings College London. Heundertook fieldwork in Burma and became professor of Geology and Geography at Rangoon in 1923. He became Reader (1926) and Professor of Geography (1945-58) at the London School of Economics.

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.
