These are my original working notes, made quite a few years ago in the days before broadband and easy access to census records etc. I have done a certain amount of extra work in getting them ready to post here, so some of the entries are now up-to-date.
They include quotations from George Whitehead's Journals, ed. Helier Hibbs, which have been an invaluable resource for which I am very grateful.
As with the A-Z of Hutton Rudby people, my accuracy is NOT guaranteed! And I'm afraid they are not quite in alphabetical order.

Notes
The purported holographic Will of her mother, Jane (Redmayne) Henlock, made at Taitlands 8 Dec 1843, and amended by a Codicil the same day, shows that she was to receive a “mourning ring marked Ann Redmayne”. The estate went to her unmarried sisters.
Order of Service of dedication of new Choir Vestry given by her family in memory of Mary Stubbs, on 20 Nov 1892
MS notes of the address given at the dedication by Rev Canon Owen 20 Nov 1892:
“The consistent lover of our Church in whose memory our new choir vestry has been dedicated, was, throughout my long residence in this parish, one of my most steadfast and consistent friends. I valued her friendship very highly ... [speaks of her faith] ... The choir vestry was erected as a Memorial to the Mother, because the members of her family well knew how strong was her attachment to, and delight in, the holy services within these walls. - For the erection of our little church she, and the members of her family, jealously laboured and liberally contributed - and, as I believe, herself sought to be a living stone in the Temple of the Lord .... ”

Notes
It's clear from John's diaries that Mrs Stubbs assisted her sister in running of the boarding house/school. “Picturesque History of Yorkshire” by J S Fletcher pub ca1899 states that the Bishop went “to Giggleswick School and thence to Oxford”, but the biography of the Bishop glosses over this period of his life, does not mention that his mother kept a school and his sister went out as a governess and simply states that he went to Ripon Grammar school and then Oxford.

Bishop Stubbs p72, with additions from note of “descendants of Thos Stubbs of Borobridge the elder”:
Jane Hirst b 21 Nov 1824, married Charles Stewart Stubbs 12 Dec 1844. They had three children:
1. William b 9 Dec 1846, married Fanny, daughter of James Thompson, niece of Wm Thompson (who married Sophy Hirst)
Wm & Fanny had children: Winifred, Dora & William Hirst Stubbs
2. Jane Elizabeth b 29 Sep 1845, married 29 Sep 1896 Alexander Smith Bell of Edinburgh, at Saltburn, (no issue & no mention in JRS diary)
3. Alice Charles, b 30 Mar 1848, married Rev John Luce, and had a large family
Charles Stewart Stubbs was killed riding in the Park in London on 31 Jan 1848, three months before the birth of Alice. It is this Alice who is presumably referred to 22.10.58
By the time of the 1881 Census Jane Charles had retired to Hillsborough Lawn, Cranham Road, Cheltenham. She had by then inherited the considerable amount of money left to her by her father, who died in 1879. The Census shows that her eldest daughter Jane Elizabeth (known as Elizabeth) aged 35 was unmarried and living with her mother, and that they had a visitor, a cook and a housemaid.
There is no note of Jane Charles’ death, but on 29 Sep 1896, Jane Elizabeth Stubbs married Alexander Smith Bell of Edinburgh at Saltburn – it was her 51st birthday. [Bishop Stubbs' history gives her name as Je Elizabeth] Unfortunately there is no mention of this in John’s diary, but his son Duncan left a note of the marriage in his papers. Elizabeth is only mentioned twice in the 1853-60 diaries. In November and December 1856, when she was eleven years old, she stayed in Boroughbridge and John mentions taking her home from the Capes’ house and having tea and supper with her, Lizzie, Alice and Joe at the Carass’ house.
Alice Charles STUBBS of London
daughter of Jane Hirst and Charles Stewart Stubbs
Alice Charles Stubbs was born in 1848, after her father’s death. She was five years younger than John’s sister Alice and is only a child during the 1853-60 diaries.
Her character is much more apparent in the letters of the 1870s, and John seems to have been drawn closer to her by the fact that she was the same age as his wife and they became friends.
Alice at the age of 24 was engaged to a young clergyman, John Luce, who was born in Jersey. When he got a curacy at Cheltenham in March 1872 they were able to announce their marriage, which took place on 9 April. Alice’s grandfather Hirst and aunt Dora went to London for the wedding, and came back to say in the words of Alice to Ellis “everything passed off splendidly but poor old Cookey was so ill in the house they almost feared her living over the day but happily she did but we have not heard since whether she is alive or not. We had a letter from Alice herself yesterday written in capital spirits and saying she had so enjoyed the wedding day she got loads of presents they say”. Alice and John Luce came up to Boroughbridge that summer to see the family and stayed a month or so – he preached twice one Sunday in September, “very good sermons” according to Mary Stubbs. They apparently had a large family – four children aged 1, 2, 4 and 6 are listed in the 1881 Census, and from the letters we can see that within three years of marriage two babies had been born.
On 24 Apr 1875 Mary wrote that “Willie Stubbs’ baby is very delicate, Alice Luce’s a very fat one”, and on 3 Jul 1875 that “we had Alice Luce and her two babies to spend a day last week they are nice children the eldest very quick and amusing”.
After a few years in Cheltenham they moved to 47 London Road, Gloucester, where the parish seems to have been that of St John Baptist. The 1881 Census shows them both aged 33, with the young family and two young men of 20 and 22 as boarders, both accountants. They had two housemaids, a cook and a nurse, all aged between 16 and 21 – it must have been a lively household.
Mrs Stewart STUBBS of London
Mary Elizabeth Alder, the wife of Revd Stewart Dixon Stubbs (b1832). (His second wife, married in 1873, was Jane Harrison) [Bp Stubbs p69]
The Revd Stewart Dixon Stubbs was a younger brother of Charles Stewart Stubbs, husband of Jane Hirst. They were two of the sons (it was a large family) of Joseph Stubbs (1790-1864) & Sophia Judith Dixon.
Joseph was the cousin of Thomas Stubbs of Boroughbridge (1761-1838); his father William, brother of Thomas Stubbs of Ripley (1735-1805) had left Yorkshire for London in the C18.
There was still a good deal of contact between the London Stubbs and the Boroughbridge Stubbs, as witness the marriage of Jane and Charles. John also knew Emily, daughter of John Dixon Stubbs (b1824), who married George Augustus Carter Evans.
John met Mrs Stewart Stubbs in Islington in 1860

London: Stubbs, William 31 doughty-street, mecklenburgh-square
& as a London agent to Hirst & Capes
Notes
He married Fanny Thompson, niece of the William Thompson who married Sophy Hirst [p72 Bp Stubbs]
Willie Stubbs became a solicitor and married Fanny Thompson, the niece of his aunt Sophy’s husband William. They were married on 3 Apr 1873 in Bridlington, which indicates that Fanny’s father was the Mr Thompson of Bridlington Quay who attended Sophy’s wedding and preached at Boroughbridge Church the following Sunday. Willie’s cousin Charles, son of John Dixon Stubbs, was best man – he spent a day or two with Mary and Alice on his way back from Bridlington and told them how his uncle the Rev Stewart Stubbs “who promised to marry them missed the train so took a special one and got there just in time, but think of the expense” as Mary said. Willie and his wife went to the Isle of Wight for their honeymoon and made their home in London. Within months Fanny was dangerously ill, and Willie had telegraphed to his spinster aunt Mary Hirst to go to nurse her. At the beginning of October they came up to Boroughbridge to stay, “I have not yet seen them,” wrote Mary, “but she is looking sadly delicate they say, I must go to see her today if I can but it is raining at present.” “Willie and his wife are still here she is very delicate and I think will make him soon look an old man” wrote Aunt Bell on 6 October, a few days later. Two months later, more disasters – “Poor Willie Stubbs is laid up in measles are they not unfortunate his wife is a little better but far from strong if you can at any time help him in business pray dear John do for it is a duty for us to help each other as far as we can and Uncle is always good to you” wrote Mary on 6 Dec 1873. In spring 1875 Fanny had her first baby – “Willie Stubbs’ baby is very delicate” wrote Mary. This was Winifred. Duncan Stubbs noted the children’s names as Winifred, Dora and William Hirst Stubbs – the Stubbs One Name Society has Winifred b 1875, Hilda Mary b1878 and Dorothy Gertrude 1879-1911. However in a letter dated 8 Apr 1876 Mary wrote, “William Stubbs is gone he was very nice as usual but they have had a trying winter the children all in hooping cough but are now improving he begins to look a much older man” which suggests there were children who died. In 1880 she wrote, “Willie Stubbs has been down for a day or two he is looking very well again but gives a dreadful account of the health in London from the fogs”. In the 1881 Census he, Fanny, Winifred, Hilda and Dora were living at 18 John Street in St Andrew Holborn parish – not far from Grays Inn. He was London agent for his northern relations, and his office was in Doughty Street, Mecklenburgh Square WC1. (John Street turns into Doughty Street at the end farthest from Grays Inn)
