ENGLISH SCHOOL, LATE 19TH CENTURY (2)Portrait miniature of a young girl, thought to be Hilda Mary Dowson (née Greg) (1883-1956) with inscribed label (attached to the back of frame) on ivory (ref. WY1APGJS) 7.5cm in a gilt-metal frame and with a case together with a portrait miniature of a woman, thought to be Margaret Lilian Greg (1881-1945), on ivory (ref. RCC2592B), 9.3cm, in a gilt-metal frame and with a case (2) Provenance Private collection, UKFootnoteHilda Mary Dowson (née Greg) was born on 23 February 1883 in Wilmslow, Cheshire, to parents Walter and Susan Elizabeth (née Gaskell). She was baptised on 3 April 1883 at Styal Presbyterian Chapel in the parish of Wilmslow. Her father was a solicitor and in 1891 the family was living at Lee Hall, Mottram St Andrews, Cheshire, together with five servants. Lee Hall was a large house with twenty-five rooms. She had three siblings: Margaret Lilian, born in 1881, Elizabeth Gaskell born 11 December 1883 and Robert Lionel born 1893.There is no trace of Hilda in the 1901 census. She married Gerard Septimus Dowson, a cousin, when she was twenty-two on 29 June 1905 at the parish church of Prestbury, Cheshire. Gerard was an estate agent born in Nottingham. Hilda and Gerard moved to The Manor House in Radcliffe on Trent in 1905, which they rented until 1921. The 1911 census records Hilda and Gerard living at Lee Hall with her widowed mother and her three unmarried children. Hilda’s sister Elizabeth is described as an art student; her brother Robert is also a student. The household now had nine servants including two nurses. It is not known how long Hilda and Gerard stayed at Lee Hall but newspaper reports reveal they were active in Nottingham in 1910 and 1913. In 1922 the Dowsons moved temporarily from The Manor House to The Chestnuts next door, before purchasing The Grange located on Main Road, Radcliffe on Trent, in 1924.Women’s Suffrage MovementThe women’s suffrage campaign began in the 1860s and ended in 1928 when women gained full enfranchisement. The campaign started in Nottingham in 1871 when a Nottingham committee of the London National Society for Women’s Suffrage was founded. Its president was Richard Armstrong and secretary was Elizabeth Sunter. Anderson Brownsword chaired the first meeting, held in Nottingham. In 1872 the branch became associated with the new Central Committee of the National Society for Women’s Suffrage, the first national group to campaign for votes for women. In the 1880s and 1890s demand for votes for women was mainly sought via constitutional means. Alice Dowson (Hilda’s mother-in-law) had been one of the speakers at the ‘grand demonstration of women’ held in Nottingham in November 1881. She became secretary of the branch in February 1894. Helena Brownsword had married William Enfield Dowson, oldest son of Alice and brother of Gerard, in July 1884. She took over Alice’s role as secretary in 1896 when her mother-in-law’s health deteriorated. Helena eventually took the role of President with Hilda taking her place as secretary.Hilda became involved with the Women’s Suffrage movement in Nottingham after she married Gerard Dowson in 1905. His mother Alice, sister Alice Maud, known as Maud, and sister-in-law Helena, known as Nellie, had been involved in the movement from very early on. At the same time Hilda’s mother, Susan Greg, and her sisters were active in the suffrage movement in Macclesfield. The Dowson and Greg families were closely connected. Alice Dowson, Gerard’s mother, was also Hilda’s aunt and sister of her father Walter.The early 1900s saw the Nottingham Society become an active constituent of the National Union of Women’s Suffrage Society (NUWSS). In April 1908 two large suffrage meetings took place in Nottingham, Hilda being one of the organisers. Christabel Pankhurst spoke at one of the meetings. That same year Hilda travelled to London along with members of the Dowson family and supporters to a national Votes for Women demonstration held on June 13th. The event attracted crowds of 10,000 people, mainly women; the demonstrators marched through central London to the Albert Hall. It was deemed a success but unfortunately the Government of the day chose to ignore it. On December 4th 1908 the Derby branch of the NUWSS held its inaugural meeting. Hilda was one of the speakers and said that the vote “would provide a symbol of liberty and citizenship, a safeguard of one’s rights and privileges, and a powerful instrument to be used as occasion demanded.”On 5 July 1909 the NUWSS organised a meeting in Nottingham Market Square with Mrs Henry Fawcett, Miss Eleanor Rathbone and Mr Edward Carpenter as speakers. The police had not attended the meeting although they had been requested and the speakers were unable to make themselves heard; the crowd was unruly and anti-suffrage feelings were made plain. In January 1910 there was a General Election and Hilda and her sisters-in-law went to the polling station at Lovers Lane schoolroom in Newark, hoping to get voters to sign petitions for their cause.They had to stand outside and suffered abuse from the male voters. The Nottingham Evening Post reported on February 23rd that 8000 signatures in total had been collected by women outside Nottinghamshire’s polling stations, which were then presented to constituency members Lord Henry Bentinck and Mr. J.E. Ellis at the society’s office in Bridlesmith Gate. The Dowsons had managed to collect 2,232 signatures from the Rushcliffe district and Hilda’s husband, Gerard Dowson, was among those in the party receiving the petition. Both Lord Bentinck and Mr Ellis were in favour of women’s suffrage; Mr Ellis promised to present the petitions to parliament.The Nottingham Evening Post also reported that the NUWSS held its annual meeting on May 31st 1910 at the Mikado café in Nottingham. Hilda and Helena Dowson were appointed joint secretaries. It was noted that there were now 200 branches of the NUWSS across the country and new branches had opened locally in Southwell, Newark and Hucknall. In July 1910 Hilda and other family members attended a demonstration in London to support the second reading of the suffrage bill (First Conciliation Bill).A fete and sale of work was held in the gardens of the homes of Mr and Mrs William Dowson and Mrs Watson in The Park, Nottingham on 23 June 1910. It included a performance of ‘Lady Geraldine’s Speech’, a suffrage play arranged by Hilda. A suffrage shop was opened in Nottingham on Bridlesmith Gate selling campaign literature where Hilda was often to be found along with the rest of the family. By this time, the Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU), which advocated militant action to gain votes for women, had attracted considerable support in Nottingham; the NUWSS distanced itself from the WSPU. Nevertheless, Hilda, now secretary of the Nottingham NUWSS, continued to be active in the suffrage movement. In 1911 she took part in a tour of Northamptonshire villages where she spoke at meetings on the suffrage question. In 1912 she organised two successful meetings in Bottesford and Bingham in which the suffragist newspaper ‘The Common Cause’ was sold. Her mother, Susan Greg, participated in a 1911 NUWSS demonstration in London of over 40,000 women. Her sister Margaret Greg was one of 50,000 women who joined a suffragist pilgrimage in 1913. They walked to London from all corners of the country where they were addressed at Hyde Park by Millicent Fawcett, leader of the NUWSS.. The aim of the pilgrimage was to show the country widespread support for ‘votes for women’ and that thousands were prepared to campaign legally and peacefully. Margaret wrote to Hilda while travelling and described the journey.In July 1913 the Nottingham...
