George Samuel Sackett LLD
https://sackettfamily.info/g11/p11041.htm
George Samuel Sackett LLD, lawyer and author, son of George Sackett and Sophia ___, was born in Peckham, SurreyG, on 22 September 1799 and baptized at St Mary Magdalen, Bermondsey, on 20 October 1799. He died aged 93 at 227 Brockley Road, Brockley, Kent, on 25 May 1893 and was buried at Lewisham, London. He married first at St George Hanover Square, Middlesex, on 8 July 1845, Hannah Fuggle, daughter of John Fuggle and Hannah ___. Hannah was born in Herstmonceux, Sussex, in about 1800 and baptized there on 12 April 1800. Hannah gave birth to a stillborn son at Yalding, Kent, on 21 June 1846. There appear not to have been other children of the marriage. She died aged 53 in Maidstone, Kent, in 1853. He married second in Lewisham, Kent, in 1855, Emma (Fleming) Scarbrow, daughter of John Fleming and Elizabeth ___. Emma was born in Newington, Surrey, on 14 February 1819 and baptized at St Mary, Newington, on 17 July 1822. She died aged 68 in Greenwich in 1887.
A record explaining how George achieved the award of a Doctor of Laws degree?a degree ranking above a PhD?has not been found. His field of research is hinted at in his listing in the 1851 census when he described himself as an author, general literature.
His career as a schoolmaster suggests he was more an academic than a businessman, success as the former attended by a dramatic failure as the latter.
In 1834, George took a 13-year lease on The Priory, a large house in Blackheath, Kent, and established a boarding school there. However, he soon ran into financial difficulty and the owner put the property up for sale by auction in July 1838, referring to the property as having been "late in the occupation of Mr. Sackett."
George's absence from The Priory is explained by his having been imprisoned for debt.
He made application to the Court for Relief of Insolvent Debtors in October 1838, and his case was set for hearing in December of that year.
The Court's decision has not been found, but a satisfactory arrangement must have been arrived at as he was able to resume his tenancy of the Priory, continuing to run it as a boarding school until 1848.
George's financial fortunes later turned and by 1861 he headed a household employing no fewer than five servants. But tragedy struck the following year when both of his and Emma's children died, Emma Scarbrow aged six and George Burgoyne about five. They were buried together at Lewisham in June 1862.
George's mother Sophia, helped by two of his sisters, Mary Ann and Ann, also established a small school in Blackheath, a girls' school, in a house leased in 1837.
George was listed in the Lewisham, Kent, Directory in 1840 as the proprietor of a boarding school at Park Road, Lee, Kent.
In 1841 George was living at The Pryory, Charlton next Woolwich, Kent, and was recorded in the census as George Sackett, a schoolmaster, aged 35 [rounded down] and born not in Kent. His younger brother Thomas, 25 [rounded down] was also at the Pryory as an assistant schoolmaster. Others at the same address were Caroline Fielder, of independent means, aged 50; three female servants; one male servant; and seven pupils.
In 1847 George was listed as Dr Geo S Sackett in the Blackheath, Kent, Directory having premises at the Priory, Charlton.
In 1851 he was living at Lewisham Road, St Paul's, Deptford, Kent, in the household of his unmarried sister Mary A Sackett, and was recorded as George S Sackett, LLD Author Gen. Literature, married, aged 43 [actually 51] and born in Bermondsey. Also in the household were a 19-year-old female house servant and four visiting children.
George's wife Hannah was recorded in the 1851 census living with her unmarried aunt, Elizabeth Fielder, at Lattingford, Yalding, Kent. Hannah was aged 50, born in Hurstmonceaux, Sussex. Also in the household was Hannah's unmarried sister, Mary Fuggle, 47.
George was listed in the London Suburban Directory in 1860 as a resident of Heston, Middlesex.
In 1861 he was living in Heston and was recorded as George Samuel Sackett, fundholder, head of household, married, aged 54 [actually 61] and born in Peckham. Living with him were his second wife Emma, 43, her Scarbrow children by her first marriage, Charlotte, 18, Edmund, 15, and Harry, 11, and George and Emma's children, Emma, 5, and George Burgoyne, aged three. Also living there was Emma's brother, Cornelius Swan L White, 46, a barrister. A schoolboy, Gordon Melhado, 15, born in Jamaica, was visiting. There were five servants: three house servants, a nursemaid, and a page.
George was listed from 1861 to 1865 as a voter in Heston.
Census records for George after 1861 have not been found. In 1881, his wife Emma was listed at 38 Westbourn Park, Paddington, London, in the household of her brother-in-law Cornelius White, 66, a retired barrister. Her unmarried daughter Charlotte Scarbrow, 38, was with her.
