Biography

Of Private Means, of Pomfret House Castle, Sunbury on Thames, Middlesex.

Background

He was baptised on 14 April 1852 at St Mary, Sunbury on Thames, London.

"William Anthony on his death in 1900 left the estates to his three surviving sons, the Revd Richard Stovin Mitchison, Herbert Sturges Mitchison and Arthur Maw Mitchison. They reached an agreement about the division of the estates between them (ref: ACC/1156/39), the properties being jointly managed until this could be effected. The Benwell and Sunbury Manor estates were sold, in 1903 and 1902-21 respectively, as were several other properties. The records end in the 1920's.

"The Mitchisons inherited estates in Withern, Lincs., from the Stovin family (ref: CC/1156/178). Richard Henry Stovin bequeathed his estates to Richard Stovin Maw, eldest son of his deceased half-sister, Margaret. These lands were subsequently left mortgaged and in trust to his daughters, Catherine Sturges Maw, who died unmarried in 1902, and Harriet Jane Stovin Maw, who married William Anthony Mitchison the elder. The Withern Estate was sold by her sons in 1918-19 (ref: ACC/1156/167-177). Harriet and Catherine Maw were also beneficiaries under the will of their uncle, Joseph Sturges (d 1875), who set up a trust for the benefit of his nieces and nephews (ref: ACC/1156/190)."[1]
