George Anthony Molteno

Other Events and Attributes:

• Birth: Abt 1754, Como, Lombardia, Italy
• Arrival: Abt 1781, London
• Occupation: Between 1789 and 1793, London; Printseller & Publisher in Partnership with Peter Colnaghi. Trading on own from 1796
• Residence: 1805, London
• Residence: 1810, St James Piccadilly, Westminster, London
• Residence: 1811, London
• Civil: 31 Jan 1817, St James Piccadilly, Westminster, London

Notes:

He is our original ancestor whom we know about. There are no available records of who his parents were or where they lived. Anthony moved from Milan in Italy to England, probably directly, but possibly via Paris. He opened his first printselling shop in Pall Mall in 1783. For a short time Paul Colnaghi was in partnership with him; the famous firm of Colnaghis is still in existence in London today. Anthony married an Englishwoman, Mary Lewis. Unfortunately, no portrait of George Anthony exists. Instead here is one of the prints he sold.

Their children included James Anthony, John, Charles Dominic, Mary, Emma and Eloise. James Anthony, John and Mary were, it seems, the only children to marry and start families. Mary married Charles Busby Bristow, from where the Bristow-Molteno connection springs. John married Caroline Bower and is the ancestor of all Molteno descendants who have a South African connection. James Anthony married Mary Mylius. Anthony’s business prospered; the winding up of his estate after his death in 1816 took some years. His eldest son, James Anthony, was also a printseller, and an equally successful one for many years.

George married Mary Lewis on 7 Apr 1782 in Westminster, London. Mary (daughter of Joshua Lewis and Susanna "Ann" Hardiman) was born on 8 Jul 1758 in St Paul Covent Garden, London; died on 12 Feb 1810 in London; was buried on 25 Feb 1810 in St Katherine Cree, Aldgate, London.

• Residence: 1841, St. James, Middlesex
• Residence: 1845, London

Notes:

The eldest son of George Anthony Molteno. Anthony took over the family printselling business in Pall Mall. For many years he prospered, but eventually he went bankrupt towards the end of his life. This marked the end of over half a century of Molteno art dealing in London. A devoted Roman Catholic, Anthony was executor of his father’s will. He married Mary Mylius. They had eight children. Only two of these offspring married and had children – Mary Molteno, who married Charles Parker, agent to the Duke of Bedford; and William ‘Frederick’ Molteno, who married Letitia Jones. The latter’s descendants are on the Family Tree, but Charles and Mary Parker’s have not yet been traced genealogically.

James married Mary Mylius in 1807 in London. Mary (daughter of William Frederick Mylius) was born in 1782 in London; died in Apr 1850 in Marylebone, London. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

• Residence: 1805, Westminster, London
• Occupation: 3 Apr 1805, Westminster, London; Articles of Clerkship. Indentured for 5 years.

Notes:

Son of George Anthony Molteno and Mary Lewis. John married Caroline Bower. He did not go into his father’s printselling business but instead, worked at Somerset House in London, where he became Assistant Keeper of Legacy Duty. John and Caroline’s children included John Charles, Frank, Nancy, Frederick James, and Alicia. When John got seriously ill at the young age of 39, he was distraught at being able to leave virtually nothing to this widow in his will, and the family became hard up on his death. John Charles was pulled out of school and got one or two nondescript jobs in the City. Facing such dead ends, four of the children (John, Frank, Fred and Alicia) emigrated as soon as they could – to the Cape Colony, Hawaii, and Victoria and New South Wales in Australia. Their mother, Caroline, was left with only one daughter, Nancy, still living with her. When Nancy married Mr Bingle, she moved from Peckham across London to the southwest of London where her husband ran a small college in Richmond.

John married Caroline Bower on 3 May 1813 in London. Caroline (daughter of George Bower and Jane Read) was born on 26 Dec 1790 in Southwark, Surrey; died on 28 Mar 1866 in London; was buried on 4 Apr 1866 in Camberwell, London. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Residence: 1833, London
• Residence: 1866, Strathmiglo, Fife, Scotland

Notes:

Son of George Anthony Molteno, the first Molteno to settle in London. A favourite uncle of John Charles Molteno who emigrated to the Cape Colony. After a lifetime working for the Docks in London, Charles Dominic moved to Scotland with his wife, Margaret Scott (who had been widowed as Mrs Glass).

In late 1860, during only his second visit to England since emigrating to the Cape in 1831, John Charles took his family up to Scotland to stay with Charles Dominic, and it was in his house that Percy Molteno was born.



Charles Dominic Molteno, who has been mentioned as one of the three children in the Shelley miniature, was the younger brother of John and the uncle whose family seems to have maintained contact with Sir John Charles Molteno [in the Cape Colony] and his children over the years. The name of Uncle Charles occurs in this volume from time to time. Born in 1789, he married Mrs. Margaret Scott Glass (1786-1873) in 1851(?). She was the widow of the Rev. Lawrence Glass of Aberdeen, Scotland, by whom she had two daughters, Margaret Scott Glass (died 8 October 1888) and Catherine Glass (died 17 April 1901, aged 90 years). Mrs. Glass owned the property of Newton in Perthshire. There Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Molteno lived for many years.

Charles Dominic was just becoming known in the literary world when he was involved in a dispute with Lockhart, Sir Walter Scott's son-in-law, concerning the merits of Keats's poetry. The result was a duel which ended tragically in his death (1821). (Letters of Dr. John Brown, edited by his son, D.W. Forest.)

Charles married Margaret Glass in 1823 in London. Margaret was born in 1787 in Scotland; died in 1873 in Scotland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Eldest son of John Molteno and Caroline Bower of London. Emigrated at the age of 16 to the Cape Colony. Became a merchant; later pioneered merino sheep farming at Nelspoort in the Karoo. Elected to the first legislature of the Cape Colony in 1854. Pressed for responsible government (whereby the executive of ministers is accountable to Parliament, and not to the colony’s British Governor), and became the Cape Colony’s first Prime Minister in 1872. Married three times. His first wife, Maria Hewitson, died tragically in childbirth in 1845. By his second wife, Elizabeth Maria Jarvis, John Molteno had ten children who survived infancy and from whom the majority of Moltenos today trace their descent – Betty, Caroline, Maria, Charlie, Percy, Frank, James, Victor, Wallace and Barkly. Following the death of Elizabeth Maria, John Charles married ‘Minnie’ Blenkins; they had four children – Minnie, Ted, Clifford and Harry. None of these ever married or had children. John was knighted sometime after he had been ousted, contrary to established parliamentary convention, as Prime Minister by the then Governor.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Probate: Honolulu, Hawaii, USA

Notes:

Second son of John Molteno and Caroline Bower. Frank went to sea, and landed up in the Sandwich Islands (now Hawaii), then still an independent group of remote island chieftaincies in the Pacific. There he settled and became a whaling captain in the northern Pacific Ocean. By all accounts he was a most attractive personality. But because of the huge distances involved and the extreme slowness of travel in the age of sail, very little contact, even by letter, was kept up between him and the rest of his family in London and at the Cape. Frank married an indigenous Hawaiian, Kahua. From them, a line of part Hawaiian, part European Moltenos is descended. Unlike his elder brother, John Charles Molteno, Frank remained a Roman Catholic and his tombstone in a Catholic graveyard In Hawaii can be seen to this day.

• Departure: Jul 1920, Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
• Arrival: 26 Jul 1920, Southampton, Hampshire; Age: 66

Notes:

The second eldest daughter of John Charles Molteno. Caroline was an exceptionally beautiful and strongminded woman. She married a Royal Navy surgeon, Dr C F K Murray, over the initial opposition of her father. In addition to their having a large family, Caroline and her husband turned their home, Kenilworth House, into a leading focus for the family after her father’s death in 1886. Caroline involved herself in various public activities, including opposition to Britain going to war against the Boer Republics (1899-1902) and her espousal of the franchise for women at the Cape.

When her elder daughter, May, started the Chronicle of the Family in 1913, Caroline wrote her Reminiscences which give a wonderful picture of the family and the way of life on the Karoo and at the Cape generally during the 1860s. She died at Palace Court, the London home of her beloved and much admired younger brother, Percy, just a few weeks after he himself had passed away. She kept a journal at various times in her life, some of which hopefully will be transcribed. And you can read Reminiscences of the Old Cape (pdf).

Caroline married Charles Frederick Kennan Murray, Dr in 1876. Charles was born on 27 Sep 1847 in Enniskerry, Wicklow, Ireland; died on 7 Mar 1930 in Elgin, Western Cape, South Africa; was buried in Mar 1930 in Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Death: 25 Aug 1927, London; Age at Death: 74
• Probate Date: 13 Apr 1928, London

Notes:

The eldest of John Charles Molteno’s children. When her mother, Elizabeth Maria Jarvis, died in 1874, Betty took responsibility for bringing up several of her younger brothers. Only when she was in her mid thirties, did she begin teaching. During the 1890s, she was headmistress of The Collegiate School for Girls in Port Elizabeth, which is where she met her lifelong partner, Alice Greene.

Betty is perhaps the most remarkable of John Charles’s children. She took up many causes, including opposition to Britain’s war against the Boer Republics. She was active in support of the rights of Indian South Africans (she was a friend of Gandhi and spoke at many of his public meetings).

She also supported Black South Africans’ early struggles over land and political rights, and lived for a time in a cottage built for her at the Ohlange Institute (next door to Gandhi’s Phoenix Settlement) which was founded by John Dube, first President General of the African National Congress. She was a particular friend of Sol Plaatje. Betty was also a feminist and demanded the franchise for women.

Notes:

Youngest daughter of John Charles Molteno by his wife, Maria Elizabeth Jarvis. Maria married a Cape Town businessman, Tom Anderson, who was a widower. They settled in Kenilworth, but also had a holiday home at Kalk Bay, called Quarterdeck. Tom and Maria had three children – Ernest, Harold and Effie. Maria had a quieter, less forceful character than her elder sisters, Betty and Caroline. She was also much less interested in politics. Sadly, she died prematurely when still in her forties. Her daughter, Effie, took over as the active centre of this branch of the family, despite living far away from the Cape on her husband Elliot Stanford’s farm of Inungi in East Griqualand. Every year, Effie would bring her children down to stay with her father at Kalk Bay during the hottest time of the summer.

Maria married Thomas Jonson Anderson in 1879. Thomas was born on 22 Oct 1844; died on 8 Jul 1930 in Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa; was buried in Jul 1930 in Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Eldest son of John Charles Molteno. At a very young age, Charlie became his father, Sir John Charles Molteno’s, secretary. In this role, he not only assisted him in his political duties as Prime Minister of the Cape Colony, but also increasingly looked after his diverse business interests. Following his father’s death in 1886, Charlie managed the main family farm at Nelspoort for many years in association with his cousin, H. A. Jackson. He decided to enter politics on his own account in 1894 and was elected to the Tembuland constituency in the Transkei. He continued as an M.P., with one short break, up to the formation of the Union of South Africa in 1910.

He married in 1897 an American, Lucy Mitchell, whose family had close South African connections, and he and Lucy settled into their new home of Sandown in Rondebosch, about four miles from the centre of Cape Town, in 1899. They lived there for the rest of their lives together. Charlie died of pneumonia following a routine operation in 1924. His political contributions included opposition to the Boer War, and a growing recognition of the overriding importance of African South Africans playing a full role in Cape politics. On his death, Ons Land described him as ‘a man of firm principles and of earnest convictions. He was a man of character and a strong personality.’

Notes:

One of John Charles Molteno’s sons. Brilliant intellectually and a good sportsman, he was one of John Charles’ sons who was sent to Cambridge, where he studied Law. It was while he was there that he met his wife, Clare Holland Pryor. They got married shortly after his return to the Cape, but it did not turn out to be a happy relationship for either of them. Instead James threw his energies into politics. He was elected to the Cape Parliament in the 1890s and remained an MP for nearly quarter of a century. He made his name politically when he broke with the aggressively imperialist politics of Cecil John Rhodes. This led him to become prominent in the Afrikaner Bond, and at one point its parliamentary leader temporarily. James opposed the Boer War, and spent a couple of years during it travelling around the remoter reaches of the Cape Colony defending in the courts and before courts martial Boer ‘Rebels’ – ie Dutch farmers in the Cape who allegedly gave assistance to their relatives and fellow Dutch-speakers living across the Orange River in the Boer Republics. After the War ended in 1902, James was elected Speaker of the Cape legislature. When the Union of South Africa was formed in 1910, he was elected the first Speaker of the Union Parliament. He wrote in retirement two volumes of reminiscences, one of which is available on-line.

Notes:

Activities
My passion is campaigning on climate change which is the issue which will determine the quality of life of our children and grandchildren, and indeed the future of the planet as a habitable and wonderful place.

I am also researching and writing the story of the Molteno, Murray and related families whose members, starting from Milan in the middle of the 18th century, spread to England and Scotland, South Africa and Kenya, Hawaii in the Pacific, Australia and New Zealand, and the United States. What happened to these families across the past 8 generations holds up a fascinating mirror to the extraordinary changes the world has gone through since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.

What I love most, apart from friends, is the English countryside – walking in it, lunching in its pubs, just being there; it is what brings me peace of mind.

Other memorable activities and moments over past 50 years
The excitement of living in Zambia, and being part of the process, in the early years of its independence when optimism about creating a better world still reigned!
Two months in solitary confinement (apart from the interrogations) spent in Mukobeko Maximum Security Prison, which gave me a lifelong conviction about the inhumanity of all incarceration.
The friendships, energy and togetherness that came during the time when, as Chair of the Wandsworth Association of School Parents, we campaigned locally to save our state schools in Inner London.
The long slog over quarter of a century when Zed Books tried to give effective voice to the courageous and free-spirited social campaigners and engaged intellectuals who, against enormous odds throughout the ‘developing’ world, struggled to make their countries more democratic, more confident and independent, less poor, and with hope and strategies for a better future.

Philosophical comments
My years at Bishops were not the best time of my life. My hopelessness at all sports didn’t help build my confidence! But the last two years at College were wonderful intellectually. And I took away from the school some lifelong friends; the knowledge that one must never be intimidated; the wonderful diversionary power of humour; as well as some values that I hope have infused the way I have tried to live my life. At the risk of sounding pompous, we live in this world to enjoy it; to understand it; and to make it a better place for all of us.
