From Darley Abbey from Monastery to Industrial Community by Don Peters (Ref
DE 196 D14 Pet. page 87);-
There were ugly rumours circulating in 1755 during a period of great
concern at the suffering caused by the inadequate diet of peasant folk and the
people of Derby, suggesting that the owner of the corn mill at Darley Abbey was
boasting that he could ''mill 20 lbs of flour from 10 lbs of grain'' the
difference consisting of foreign matter and impurities. It is now likely that
the rumours referred to George Bage, father of Robert Bage, the
novelist, who owned the paper mill and probably the corn mill in the mid
eighteenth century. (a small red book).
Derby from Age to Age. (Ref DE 3 D14 War; a small brown book)
contains photos of the old churches, including St Werburghs.
Extracts from ''Creswells Nottingham Journal''
Aug 5 1768 Last Saturday the Assize for the County....... a bill of
Indictment was found by the Grand Jury - John Elley was found guilty of stealing
Twenty Shillings from the house of Mr John Naylor of Mansfield - was ordered to
be transported for seven years.
Jan 27 1770 Last Friday evening a number of Feled Friends were
invited to Mr George Bage's, papermaker at Ollerton, in this County to
partake of a Christmas entertainment.
After playing at cards etc till near Twelve Miss Bage, Miss Ann Justice
retired to bed together in seeming good health, and the company separated.
Next morning to the great astonishment of the Family, the whole Village, and
to the grief of all their Relations the two young ladies Miss Bage and Miss Ann
Justice were found dead in bed; it is said the former was just departing but
incapable of giving any account of her illness. Many false reports have been
raised relating to this melancholy Event, particularly, that their Deaths had
been occasioned by a Pan of Charcoal Fire being placed in the Fire-Grate to air
the room.
The Coroners jury have fat (sat) on these unfortunate young Persons and after
having examined all that could give a lead, Account of the Entertainment etc
returned their Verdict, that each died by Visitation of the Almighty - a natural
death.
Short extract from the Will of John Naylor of Mansfield, gentleman dated
January 1783 (Ref DDM 99/2).
I will that they pay and apply the Interest of two hundred pounds (part
thereof) unto and for the use of my grandson John Bage until he shall
attain his age of 21 years for and towards his maintenance and education during
his minority and when he shall have attained such his age and after the decease
of my wife aforesaid then I give and bequeath the said principal sum of £200
with all the interest that may happen to be and remain in their hands unto my
said grandson John Bage.
Also on the death of wife the grandchildren (14) each to receive £20.
In Ollerton Churchyard, near to the porch by White Hart side is a stone
''In memory of George Bage who departed this life May 19th 1789 aged 49
years.''

Lancashire, Saturday, August 16, 1890.
DRUNK ON HIS OWN LICENSED PREMISES.
Patrick Frayne, landlord of the Colliers Arms, Billinge-Chapel-End,
was charged with being drunk on his own licensed premises. - Sergeant Bage
said about 11 o'clock on Saturday night, the 2nd inst., he went into the house
and saw the defendant in the taproom, leaning his head on his arms on the table.
Police-constable Hodson, who was with witness, called him twice, and then he
staggered about and they saw he was drunk. They told him he would be reported,
and he followed them out of the house and asked them not to blast his character.
He had not had a half-pennyworth of food that day, and the drink had taken
effect. - Two officers corroborated the Sergeant's evidence. - Mr. Lees
contended that the defendant was, besides a landlord, a farm-labourer in the
employ of Mr. Ashton, of Carr Mill, and that he was not drunk that night, but
extremely tired. The defendant did not think the officers were serious. -
Witnesses were called to substantiate this, and defendant was ordered to pay
costs.

I received the following newspaper articles from a
researcher;-
Sheffield BAGE family
While looking through some old newspapers in Sheffield I have
been finding letters written by local soldiers fighting in the Boer War. I found
two from a Sergeant in the KOYLI to his sister Mrs Bage. Investigation
reveals that this is Philomena BAGE (nee CUNNINGHAM) wife of Fred BAGE.
I realize that this is perhaps connected more to the Cunninghams rather than the
Bages but I thought you might be interested. Here are the two letters:-
Sheffield Daily Telegraph 17 Feb 1900
GRAPHIC LETTER FROM A SHEFFIELD SOLDIER
Mrs Bage, of No. 7, Gould Street, Walkley, Sheffield, has received a
graphic letter from her brother, who belongs to the King's Own Yorkshire Light
Infantry, at present at Modder River. In the course of the letter the soldier
describes his journey from India to South Africa, up to De Aar, where, he says,
they were busy building earthworks in preparation. Proceeding, he writes :--
"It was a most touching scene to witness our own countrymen fleeing from
the Transvaal with their wives and children, who had come hundreds of miles in
cattle trucks, and the way they treated "Tommy Atkins," whom they had
not seen for years, was most impressive. One old lady, who told me a good deal
about the treatment at the hands of the Boers in Johannesburg, said she
had been from England 13 years, and that it was the happiest day she had had
when she saw the English soldiers, so far up the country. We got as far as
Belmont, where we engaged the Boers, and after fighting about five hours, we
took their positions. They left their tents, waggons and every thing, including
bags of biscuits and tins of jam, which we quite enjoyed for several days. The
Boers say that they calculated to hold Belmont
for six months, but I am pleased to say we shifted them in five hours. They did
not go far before they found another suitable range of hills at Gras Pan, where
we fought them for six hours on the 25th. This battle, I think, was a bit hotter
than the last.We had to cross a big plain, under a murderous fire from the
hills, and when we arrived at the foot, properly done up and foaming at the
mouth through running, we found it even worse, as we had to climb very slowly
while they were sending a hail of bullets down. When we reached the top the
first Boer I saw had a bullet hole clean through the heart. There were several
others scattered about dead and wounded, and one was quite a lad. After this we
rested a day, and marched on to Modder River, where we are now (January 19th).
This battle was much fiercer than the others. The enemy reckoned on holding the
place for two months, and it took us thirteen hours to beat them. It was a
proper thunderstorm of bullets and shells all day,
and it seems a miracle how some of us escaped being hit. The bullets were
"spitting" all round, but we have got so used to the whistle now that
we take very little notice of them. The most aggravating part of it is that
these
fellows, like the Afridi, are always in the hills and trenches while we have to
cross an open plain with no cover whatever. At Modder River they were firing
from house tops and trees. I see in the papers that some of the public wonder
why we don't get our dead off the field as easy as the enemy does, and not only
that, but ignorant fools speak disparagingly of our brave generals, and credit
them with a certain amount of mismanage-
ment. Well, all I can say is that they have not the remotest idea of what they
speaking and even if they had it is a great pity that they haven't learnt to
respect the bravest men in our army. In the last two campaigns I have taken part
in, I have always found our officers entirely unconcerned as to themselves, but
most keen in the preservation of the lives of the rank and file. It would be a
good thing if the more sensible minded portion of the
people at home would teach these street walking generals that at the present
time, at any rate, it is a good motto-"Every man to his own trade."
They little think they are doing more harm to this country by giving vent to
their stupid ideas than would accrue from a most serious reverse. We acknowledge
having under-estimated the Boers at first, and we have had a few reverses, but
now that we have had a few goes at them and learnt more about them, you may be
sure that we will soon turn the tide. We would go to Pretoria and Johannesburg
in "walking out order", but Tommy Atkins knows he has booked for those
places, and with less regard for a return ticket than some people imagine.
I know there are a lot of Sheffielders shot in our regiment, but it is to be
hoped that the people will remember this is a big job that we are fighting for
our Empire, and that those who have been lost have died the noblest death
possible. The widows and families of the enemy are being stuffed with all sorts
of lies. When they ask where their friends are they are told that they are
holding positions capture from us in the colonies, whereas they are holding six
feet of ground. You will have heard of Lord Methuen's force. Our object is to
relieve Kimberley. After Magerfontein we had a good rest. Some people think that
because we returned to camp we had received a reverse. We went out for two days
and were told before we started that we were coming back on the 12th. If we had
intended to go on we would not have left our tents and
transport behind. The general idea was carried out to the letter, with the
exception of a great loss of our Highland Brigade. We gave them (the Boers) a
rest at Christmas, but we wished them a Happy New Year early on the morning of
the first, sending a few challenge shot from "Joey". After Modder
River we found a large number of dead Boers in the water, which the enemy had
put there with the idea, I suppose, of causing sickness
amongst us, as it is our drinking water." The soldier
concludes his letter by mentioning the arrival of the reservists of his
battalion, who left Sheffield Barracks some time ago, and says they all speak
enthusiastically of the send-off given to them by the Sheffield people.
Sheffield Daily Telegraph 19 Feb 1900
A SHEFFIELD SOLDIER AND THE
QUEEN'S PRESENT
Sergeant E. Cunningham, of G. Company 2nd K.O.Y.L.I. writing from Modder River
on the 26th January, to his sister, Mrs. Bage, 7, Gould Street, Walkley,
says - I am sending you my Christmas present from our dearly beloved Queen.
Empress. Every soldier in the field has received, or is going to receive, a box
of chocolate from Her Majesty. We got ours this morning. I have eaten half the
chocolate, and am sending you the remaining half, which will make you several
cups. But the most precious part of the gift is the box itself which I hope you
will take great care of. I am also sending a map of Africa. You will see Where
we are on the left, and how far we are from Kimberley.
.........................................
I also noted that Fred and Philomena and two other Bages
are buried in St. Michael's R.C. Cemetery in Sheffield
Having found the above, I also found some other Bages buried in St Mary's
Cemetery, Walkley which is right next to St Michael's. These are the details
from the burial register:-
(name/date of burial/address or place where death occurred/age/grave)
BAGE Tom 4 Dec 1907 78 Evelyn Rd. 39
Gp500
BAGE Charles Henry 20 Apr 1908 27 Brick St. 2 Gp501
BAGE Cecilia 23 Apr 1908 27 Brick St. 38 Gp502
Gp indicates that these are public graves. The fact that they are close together
is due to the short time span in which these three died.
BAGE William 30 Aug 1944 101 Wallace Road 57 E111
BAGE Lily 10 Dec 1969 Royal Infirmary Sheffield 78 E111
Neither of these graves has a gravestone.
