Plot 356: Georgina Barbara Bartlet (1827-1918)

Georgina Barbara was the eldest child of Dr James Bartlet MD and his wife Mary (née Robinson). She was born in London 6^th October 1827 and she was to have three younger sisters: Mary Susannah, Frances Matilda and  Elizabeth Amelia and a brother, James Tufton.

Her mother had been born in Banff, Scotland, the daughter of Colonel George Gordon Robinson and her father was also from Banffshire.

James had joined the Army as an Assistant Surgeon and served between 1812 and 1821 with the 69^th and 88^th Regiments of Foot and the 9^th Veteran Battalion. He was with the 69^th at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, where one of his brothers also fought. He took his degree in medicine at Edinburgh University and qualified MD in 1818.

He moved to London and set up practice in Bentinck Street in a smart part of Marylebone and between 1824 and 1830 he worked as Physician to the Palladian Life Assurance Company. He returned to Banff to marry Mary in 1826 and they settled in Bentinck Street where all their children were born.

In 1837 James was appointed physician to Prince Adolphus, Duke of Cambridge, the seventh son of King George III, a highly prestigious appointment.

In the 1841 census Georgina and her sisters are sharing a governess and the family are clearly enjoying a very comfortable lifestyle with several servants, but in March 1848 her father died in St Omer, France. It may be that James had retired and the whole family was living there, because when Georgina’s mother Mary died there in 1850 she is described as a resident of the town.

What happened to the sisters in the twenty years after their mother’s death has not been traced, but their brother James gained a degree from Cambridge and in 1871 he was Vicar of St John’s, Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. His sisters, all unmarried, were living with him in the vicarage. In 1881, when John and his wife had a family, they had moved a few houses away and lived there with a domestic servant.

By 1901 the four sisters had moved to “Hillside Villa”, 38, Kittsbury Road, Berkhamsted where they lived with a domestic servant and a cook. They were still there in 1911, now all very elderly.

The five Bartlet siblings died within three years of each other: James in 1915, Mary, Frances and Elizabeth in 1916 and Georgina 6^th February 1918. She is buried here with her three sisters.
