Queen Victoria was crowned on 28 June 1838, just as radical opinion all across the country was coalescing into Chartism. So what did the not-yet Chartists make of the royal event? Have a read of this…

Today in 1848: fifty thousand Londoners marched from Bethnal Green through Clerkenwell to Trafalgar Square to demand the Charter and the release of Irish political prisoners. Joseph Williams, one of those who led the march, was later arrested for making seditious speeches and sentenced to two years in prison. He died in Tothill Fields Bridwell. https://www.chartistancestors.co.uk/joseph-williams-1809-1849/ -

"On 4 November 1839 the political desires of the working men of south Wales found violent expression in the Chartist Uprising at Newport. Restlessness had been rife among the working population of Britain for many months due to an eagerness to secure suffrage for working men."

I’ve been writing about the veteran Chartist Allen Davenport, who as president of the London Democratic Association provided a direct personal link back to the ultra radical Spenceans of an earlier generation and became a significant influence on the thinking of a young George Julian Harney. It’s here https://www.chartistancestors.co.uk/allen-davenport-1775-1846/ -

I recently visited Kensal Green Cemetery in north west London where some of the best known figures in Chartism were buried - including Feargus O’Connor, GWM Reynolds and Henry Hetherington. I’ve written about it and posted some photos on the Chartist Ancestors website; I’ve also provided a map if anyone is interested in making a similar pilgrimage. https://www.chartistancestors.co.uk/meet-the-kensal-green-chartists/ -

So… #Chartism: I set up the Chartist Ancestors website back in 2003, primarily as a free #FamilyHistory resource for people whose research interests overlapped with my own. It has grown a fair bit since then, and now includes a databank of some 14,000 people who were involved in this great radical cause of the mid-nineteenth century. But it’s all still free to use. Hopefully of interest to @histodons @geneadons and others
