General Notes: In an eMail on May the 26th, 2004, John Steane sent this Information on Edward Steane:-
I am sure that all of you have seen the following translations (German translations)of his work
STEANE, Edward, English Baptist, which used itself several times as a secretary of the international Evangelist alliance for human right questions on the continent, * 23 March 1798 in Oxford/Engl.? 8. May 1882 in new House park with Rickmansworth/Hertfordshire, English one its theological training received pc. from 1819-1821 in the Bristol Baptist Academy and from 1821-1823 at the university in Scottish Edinburgh. Its activity as a municipality minister it began 1823 to the baptistischen Denmark Place Chapel in Cumberland. Already at the age of 29 years he became an editor that new Baptist Miscellany (1827-1832). That was a good preparation on its later editorial work in the context of the Ev. alliance. From 1829 to 1838 pc. was a secretary baptistischen college in Stepney. Since 1829 it belonged also to the general assembly of the outstanding Baptist Missionary Society. The line gift Steanes had already early shown up. So was not it by any means surprising that it was selected 1835 to the secretary of the Baptisten union by Great Britain. 1860 it became their chairman. 1839 it inserted its protest against the withdrawal of the support by the British and foreign Bible company, which the Baptisti mission company had up to then gotten. After the unsuccessful objection he became a secretary of the baptistischen Bible translation company. Sundays sanctifying, freedom of conscience, prison reform, world mission and typically English anti-catholic resentment determined its effectiveness. - it could take up its crucial activity, after 1846 in London the international Evangelist alliance had formed. This new, denomination borders exceeding organization gave the far framework, which extended the far beyond borders of its country to its future working. It used this platform for its humanitarian efforts, which had their firm anchorage in its Christian faith, until it occurred 1866 the retirement. - its untiring employment for the human right religion and of the freedom of conscience got a lasting impulse, when the married couple condemns Madiai, which had been missionary active from Florenz in the Toskana, first and imprisoned set, by which international protest of the Evangelist alliance one left again free. This success in connection with an international deputation in a catholic determined country was indicative for the further development of the human right question freedom of religion in the international Evangelist alliance. Steane knew the experiences of the recent baptistischen municipalities in the German small states. After it in July and August 1851 together with the Secretary-General of the British Baptist union, Reverend John Howard Hinton (s.d.) the Netherlands and Northern Germany had bereist, in order to study the problems of the baptistischen mission, engaged myself Steane seriously for the penetration of the freedom of religion in Germany. Its argumentation was, if we had success already in Italy and by intervention with the Pope, how much more must we about the dishonor worry that Protestant churches in a Protestant country pursue Protestant Christians. Steane had already contacted 1840 with the request for freedom of religion for those Hamburg Baptisten with others together the senate. But after the revolution of 1848 and hopes for a new constitution by Frankfurt parliaments seemed in the meantime the situation to have substantially improved. <@$>-<@$p> The first step of the alliance secretary was, as well as Sir Culling Eardley (s.d.) and two other human rights activists to insert with the British minister of foreign affairs lord Palmerston protest against the arrest of the English Klein rift dealer Dr. William Marriott working in Germany. That had been arrested in November 1851 in Karlsruhe because of spreading by Christian treatises for 14 days. Its release took place after the objection of the English envoy, who had accredited at the wuerttembergischen yard. Starting from 1851 in connection with the English Evangelist alliance, which understood itself with the different branches in European states as a unit, a congress of human right was carefully prepared for the penetration of the freedom of religion on the continent. The participation Steanes at a federal conference of all baptistischen prediger, who 1851 in Hamburg took place, served the goal of announcing itself with the newest development in things freedom of religion. It traveled from Hamburg directly to London back, in order not to miss the second international conference of alliance after the founders' meeting 1846 and above all to refund on the situation to Germany report. - during their Germany journey Steane and John E. Hinton had made different attendance, in order to invite representatives of the Evangelist church conference the Londoner conference of alliance 1851. They visited the Baptisten Johann Gerhard Oncken (Hamburg) and Gottfried William Lehmann (Berlin). How close the relations between Steane and the prominent German Baptisten Oncken was, one can estimate to the fact that its daughter Margaret Anna, those from Onckens of first marriage with the Englishwoman Sarah geb. Man had come out, by Steane the faith baptism received. Apart from the participation in the baptistischen federal conference an attendance was important in roughening house with Johann H. Wichern, because the Englishmen could win it for a lecture at the Londoner conference of alliance. The recommendation letters of the German diplomat Carl Josias of Bunsen made of London and of the English brother common minister Peter La Trobe opened some doors for them, particularly in Berlin. There they met in the house of her host Eduard Kuntze (s.d.), which at the Wittenberger church conference the attempt had made to introduce a connection between the German Evangelist church conference and the English Evangelist alliance with Ernst Wilhelm Hengstenberg, Professor Karl Ith Nitzsch and Hofprediger Friedrich William Krummacher. All belonged the closer committee of the church conference on. Kuntze, which was married with an Englishwoman and was been versed by its Londoner activity well in church conditions of England, criticized the per-revolutionary behavior of the German Baptisten and the publication of politically explosive treatises with its English guests. Probably it alluded to Julius Koebners "communist manifesto of the free Urchristentums to the German people" from 1848, whom the Baptistenprediger had published following the communist manifesto of Karl Marx. The citizens of Berlin of contacts had an certainly official character and applied for the preparation of the attendance of of a German church conference delegation at the Londoner conference of alliance of 1851, which a return visit of the Englishmen at the Elberfelder church conference, which took place soon after the Londoner conference, should follow. - in addition the Londoner visitor Steane and Hinton in Berlin met with Hofprediger Friedrich bunch, count Albert von Schlippenbach and the prediger of the French municipality Dr. Couard. - on the occasion of the Londoner conference of alliance held its lecture on the internal mission in Germany for J. H. Wichern. From England one had some time hope in the German church conference an adequate partner in Germany for the promotion of the Christian unit to have found which one wanted to support also financially. But the German participants of the Londoner meeting did not find an entrance to the Spiritualitaet of the Englishmen and to their conceptions of the unit. Steane traveled together with other friends from England back on the continent, in order to participate than delegates of the Evangelist alliance at the church conference to Elberfeld. There it had come by the brother association Evangelist in Wuppertal resident in the meantime also to first arguments. It is remarkable that the brother association, which a tendency was inherent in to the free church took up the nine points of the theological basis of the Evangelist alliance of 1846 to its second statute of 1851. In Elberfeld the resident brother association organized parallel to the church conference a meeting, in which the delegated ones from that Geneva arousing, from other regions of Switzerland, from Paris, in addition also American and Englaender, practically all, met which were close to the Evangelist alliance. - after Steane in its greeting word, which had been translated by the languageturned Friedrich A. G. Tholuck, had addressed the church conference, the GermanBritish friendship cooled down quite. Steane had demanded German baptistischen brothers for its freedom of religion. That was too much expected of this meeting of conservative Christians. In the plenum of the Elberfelder of church conference the Englishmen had already suggested that it was desirable, accomplishing 1852/53 a conference over freedom of religion in Germany. This internationally built up conference met from 23 to 25 August 1853 in the hessian Homburg at the Taunus, in order to introduce steps for the freedom of religion on the continent. No smaller than the Earl OF Shaftesbury (1801-1885) took over the presidency. As a secretary that worked Parisians Evangelist prediger Frederic Monod beside Steane. In addition from England the president of the Evangelist alliance was, Sir Culling Eardley (s.d.) and the Anglikaner Thomas Richard Brooke, rector of Avening, present. From France was beside Frederic also Adolphe Monod and the methodistische Superintendent and alliance chairman Rev. Charles Cook D D (s.d.) invited. Ever a Swiss from Basel, Samuel price work (s.d.) and from Geneva Adrien Neville had come. From Germany the Frankfurt ministers of the French-reformed municipality Louis Bonnet (s.d.) participated, that from Herrnhuter tradition coming Professor Theodor Plitt, Heidelberg, that into the huguenot Friedrichsdorfer municipality working minister Louis Leuthold, as well as the Waldenser Rev. Charles Humbert from thorn wood living. As delegated one of the church conference was Professor Tholuck out resounds appeared. Occasionally also the methodistische prediger was Ludwig Nippert (s.d.) from Frankfurt/M. present. The Homburger conference examined the chances for a common action, in order to reach in Germany freedom of religion, described itself the principles, to those the English homburgische organization destined wanted and it considered the appropriate shape for such an organization. One agreed to make Christian principles the basis. The resolutions were seized in English, French and German. The further procedure was decided and specified to co-operate with the Evangelist alliance, the German church conference, the Gustav Adolf association and other groups. - the Englishmen Rev. Edw. Steane and Rev. Th. R. Brooke bereisten after the conference of cities and states, from which to them injuries of the freedom of religion admits had become. It accompanied of the citizen of Berlin Baptistenprediger Gottfried William Lehmann, which along-traveled officially as an interpreter, but actually a outstanding connoisseur of the situation and a empfindsamer critic of the authorities were. Over their journey the delegated ones submitted a detailed report to the Executive Committee, which met on 23 Nov. 1853 in London. Were added to it a whole number of official documents: two over prediger Ferdinand Bues, which was subjected in Zurich restrictions; a condition article from Saxonia Meiningen, where in Hildburghausen a small baptistische municipality had formed, which had however problems with the support by its prediger, whose domicile was in bath Hersfeld (Hessen Kassel); four from Hessen Kassel: (1) the law over freedom of religion, (2) the repeal of the law over the previous introduction of the civil marriage, (3) the prohibition of meetings in bath Hersfeld and (4) the refusal of a request for permission of meetings; six from Mecklenburg Schwerin, under it: (1) summons with reminders and calculations for the seizing by a cow, a corner cabinet and a milk cabinet, as well as detailed a calculation with daily costs of a prison stay of 19. 5. to 2.6. because of "baptistischer efforts"; Foam castle lip: sieve (1) regulation against driving the Baptisten, (2) condemnation because of baptistischer meetings, (3) request, to let a child baptize (4) condemnation, because no baptism took place, (5) new reminder and aggravation, (6) enforcement answer to the Auspfaendung, (7) calculation for 6 Baptisten; Bavaria two: (1) condemnation of men and women in Bayreuth, (2) statement of the Ministry for church and school affairs (Munich) to the request for formation of a Baptistengemeinde; Schleswig-Holstein sieve: (1) no Hausierschein for Bibelkolporteur, (2) meeting and Hausierverbot, (3) refusal of a request for permission for the Kolportieren, (4) statement of the lutherischen Konsistoriums, (5) reference of the Kirchenvisitatoriums: no baptizing obligation, birth announcement is sufficient; however no permission for the municipality formation, which also is called: neither baptism nor weddings, (6) condemnation because of law break: Devotions only under supervision of the local clergyman, (7) permit to request on issuing the "term of imprisonment with water and Brod" rejected. - the Englishmen in company Lehmanns spoke in the different cities with Ministers, high officials, other authority representatives, as well as police and enforcement officer. They received the entrance by recommendations, which could submit them from the English Minister for foreign affairs from London and of its Ambassadors in German cities. - the result of the investigation by Steane and Brooke was discussed first on 23 November in London in the executive committee of the Homburger conference. Afterwards it was submitted to the next alliance world conference, which met to 1855 in the connection of the world exhibition in Paris. There to hand over decided, after diplomatic activities had prepared that accordingly between London and Berlin, the documentation at Friedrich William IV. That was done on the occasion of the grundsteinlegung of the Rhine bridge in Cologne via Sir Culling Eardley, Edward Steane, Th. R. Brooke and Pastor Louis Bonnet (Frankfurt/M.), which belonged to a delegation of the alliance. Thereupon by the Prussian representatives at the yards, which were enumerated in the documentation, activities were unfolded. The confirmed the Prussian legation in London by count von Bernstorff in a letter at Sir Culling Eardley, the president of the Evangelist alliance. - in this early political initiative to questions of the human right of the freedom of religion Edw. Steane played the crucial role. It had the relations with the German Baptisten. The secretariat of the international Evangelist alliance in London was an instrument for the effective conversion of resolutions, which were reached with high-ranking personalities of the public life and their support. To Paris 1855 the next international conference of the Evangelist alliance, at that time in Germany Evangelist federation mentioned, took place 1857 in Berlin. As a secretary that English and international conference was Steane involved in it. - Steane worried not only about the baptistischen municipalities, but according to the principles of the human rights about each form of their suppression and injury, which admit to him became. Like that it was concerned with violations of human rights into different European countries. It had ordered to a Swedish Baptisten in its house in London asylum. 1858 it traveled together with John Howard Hinton to Sweden, in order to sound out the question of the freedom of religion there. Some months after its return it received Superintendent Ludwig Sigismund Jacoby, the leading Methodist from Germany and Switzerland, to which it many details report could. 1864 used itself Steane for the Lutheraner in the Baltic, which did not find the desired free space under the Orthodoxen. Also after its retirement the English alliance continued the tradition of the fight for human rights. 1874 traveled a deputation of the alliance to Vienna, in order to occur there for the suppressed protestanten. But to the human rights belonged also the humane treatment in prisons, for those the alliance in catholic Spain used themselves 1874 traveled Steane arrested to Switzerland, in order to speak there with Ministers from Russia about pursuit of Baptisten to their country. Already from New York, where 1873 the alliance world conference took place, the Evangelist alliance had turned over the Russian envoy in London to Zar Alexander. When the Zar bereiste 1874 England, he was received from the anglikanischen Dean Stanley. English Baptisten had before taken up contact, in order to raise again the questions of the freedom of religion in the Russian realm, what without success was not. - finally is to be referred still briefly to the switching of funds by the English alliance. The dia.-conical work was rather early already supported by Theodor Fliedner, during the Apokryphenstreits also the Bible pressure. The Englishmen looked for in 19. Century often the contact with the aroused circles in Germany, in order to support it in the fight against the rationalism and the Unglauben. Steane played a central role as a secretary of the internationally working Evangelist alliance in their network. Its baptistisch aligned commitment harmed the alliance in Germany rather, than that it would have promoted it.

Edward Steane left no male decendants, just two daughters and at least one of these left male issue.
I also am aware of the Will of his wife, probate granted as follows
Will Mary Steane proved 7 Nov 1863: Effects under 5000 Pounds Wife of Edward Steane Doctor of Divinity late of Champion Park Camberwell in the county of Surrey deceased who died 30 Sept 1862 at Champion Park, aforesaid was proved at the Principal Registry by the oath of George Scott Freeman of Camberwellaforesaid Brewer one of the Executors.

22. Robert BOOTH [8549] (Abraham (Rev.)¹¹, Robert⁶, Abraham², Robert¹) was born in 1765 in Sutton-in-Ashfield Nottinghamshire England, died in Oct 1833 in Clerkenwell Middlesex England at age 68, and was buried on 24 Oct 1833 in St James' Clerkenwell Middlesex England.

General Notes: Chris Granger, in an eMail, dated June the 25th, 2006, included this Information on William Booth:

Robert Booth born 1764 died 1844 (son of Robert Booth).
He was a hosier in Nottingham and is believed to have established the first hosiery warehouse in Nottingham.
He was church warden of St Mary's Church in Nottingham in 1809.
He retired from business and lived for many years at 20 Plumptree Street. His will extends to 16 pages and there are a lot of different legacies to family members.

AND
Robert Booth, son of Rev Abraham Booth.
He died before 30.10.1835 but his wife survived him, being mentioned in Alice Stevenson's will.
They had a son who was father to Robert's grandson Henry Booth and two daughters according to
Clara who married a Mr Thorburn mentioned in Aunt Ann Booth's will.
Elizabeth, wife of ............. Dobson, mentioned in Aunt Ann's will .......... who married a Mr Jacard and at 30.10.1835 had two daughters, mentioned in Aunt Alice's will.
perhaps Elizabeth married twice.

In a Document on the Holliday Family [connected to the Booths], received from Andrew Griffiths in May 2014, he included the following:
Robert Booth was born in 1765, which places him near the middle of this large family, many of whom lived long lives and became pillars of the Baptist Church in their turn. He served an apprenticeship with Joseph Smith, a draper of Cheapside, between 1780 and 87. On the indenture, Robert is named the son of Abraham Booth of Chamber Street, Goodman's Fields, which confirms his identity nicely. On the back of the indenture document there is a note to the effect that, in 1799, Robert was admitted to the Freedom of the City in the Liberty of Fishmongers on the basis of his earlier service to Joseph Smith, who was a member of the Fish-mongers Company (although in fact a draper - it was quite common for a member of one Guild or Company to ply an entirely different trade), but the entry is interesting for a different reason: the date coincided with a move from St. John's Square, Clerkenwell, where Robert had lived hitherto, to Smithfield Bars, where he opened his haberdasher's shop. He probably had to become a Citizen to be allowed to establish the business.
Robert's father was a Particular Baptist, which was a Calvinist branch of the faith, and a paedo-baptist, i.e. a supporter of infant baptism, which put him at odds with the „anti-paedobaptists" within the Baptist community. Those records of the Little Prescot Street Chapel which are available on-line record the births among the community members, but not the baptisms. Mary Booth's birth was registered by her grandfather, together with two of her cousins, when she was three months old. The mother is named „Mary". The entry in the baptismal register of St. John's, Clerkenwell for February 2^nd 1793 gives the same date of birth as the Chapel register, June 13^th 1792, and the parents are „Robert and Mary". No hint there of any irregularity. Of the two cousins, whose births were registered at the same time as Mary's, one was baptized in an Anglican church and one was not, so this may have been left up to the parents and was not necessarily a sign of estrangement from the Baptist community.
On November 23^rd, 1793, a Mary Booth of St. John's Square, which was Robert's address, was buried in St. John's parish churchyard. She was aged 33, four years older than Robert, and presumably the mother of baby Mary, now 18 months old.
But the following year, on September 18^th, 1794, a „Robert Booth, bachelor" married Anne Tucker, spinster, in the neighbouring parish of St. Luke, Finsbury. Anne was the daughter of a local carpenter. There is no doubt that this is the same Robert Booth, because the signature agrees perfectly with that on other documents, such as his Will, so I am forced to conclude that Mary had been Robert's „common-law" wife.
Mary's half-sister Elizabeth Ann was born July 30^th 1795 and also registered by Abraham Booth at the Prescot Street Chapel on December 2^nd 1796.
Robert was left a sizeable sum of money in the form of annuities when his father died in 1806 and moved from Smithfield Bars back to Red Lion Street, Clerkenwell, where he paid his land tax until 1825 (these locations all lie within half a mile of each other and are marked on the 1830 map on the following page). His annual rent in Red Lion Street was £32, which was quite substantial for the time, so it probably included a shop.

Robert had a relationship with Mary [101758]. Mary was born about 1760, died in Nov 1793 in Clerkenwell Middlesex England aged about 33, and was buried on 23 Nov 1793 in St John's Clerkenwell Middlesex England.

+ 59 i. Mary BOOTH [101759] was born on 13 Jun 1792 in Clerkenwell Middlesex England, was baptised on 2 Feb 1793 in St John's Clerkenwell Middlesex England, died in 1833 at age 41, and was buried in 1833 in Gibraltar Row Burial Ground Bethnal Green London England.

Robert married Anne TUCKER [8550] on 18 Sep 1794 in St Luke's Finsbury Middlesex England. Anne was buried in Abney Park Cemetery Stoke Newington Hertfordshire England.

61 ii. Clara Sophia BOOTH [8726] was born in 1802 and died on 5 Dec 1866 at age 64.

Clara married George THORBURN [8727] on 31 May 1832 in Holy Trinity Church Islington Middlesex England. George was born in 1805 in Bowden Roxburghshire Scotland and died in Apr 1849 at age 44.

24. Mary BOOTH [40832] (Abraham (Rev.)¹¹, Robert⁶, Abraham², Robert¹) was born on 24 Jul 1768 in Sutton-in-Ashfield Nottinghamshire England and died after 1836.

Elizabeth (1810-1885), the daughter of John Eddison and Ann (nee Booth) of Gateford House, near Worksop, was very good looking \endash I have several photographs of her, and she still looked remarkably good in old age. She never married and lived with her unmarried sister Ann Eddison (portrait p. 252 ) at Toothill Hall near Huddersfield. On page 55 of my book there is a charming letter written by her when she was eight years old, to her brother Edwin Eddison, where she describes a robbery by a female tramp who was later sent to the Southwell house of correction. There is a chapter on the childhood of the Eddison children at Gateford House which I wrote using their great number of childhood letters. There is also an account on page 167, of Elizabeth telling her sister in law Hannah Maria Eddison about the angry crowds and disturbances in Nottingham in 1832 during the Reform Bill riots.
