The picture above, taken around 1900, shows Henry Davenport BISHOP (1846–1911) and his wife Maria Augusta BARNES (b. 1848) with their seven children: Emily, Philip, George, Albert, Walter, Gertrude and Augusta.
Henry Davenport BISHOP was one of nine children of John Skynner Egerton BISHOP (1816-1889) and his wife Emily Davenport HUNTER (1919-1978).
One of Henry Davenport’s brothers, Dr. Sydney Olive BISHOP, died in 1917 and bequeathed his estate to his brothers. The proceeds of this estate were still being distributed in the early 2000s.
