An over comprised the delivery of four balls. Four manifestations of sexual DV were illustrated from the youth's narratives: (a) sexual coercion, (b) sexual assault, (c) sexual abuse, and (d) forced sexual activities. One might surmise, perhaps, that the first three applied to his business activities in Gosport, and the last two to his career after he had moved to Nottingham. On however coming to Newport (where we dined) Mr W. borrow'd a pair of Nankeens for him, of a Gent'n of his acquaintance, that in future the 3 Ladies might go in the Chaise. We might land on Monday if we get favourable wind, but it is often the reverse they say. We are going a little now only 50 miles from Port Chalmers but cannot get at it. Thomas was awarded £2-8-0 on 31st Jan 1748/49 but as there is a gap in the minute book of the Trust from 27th June 1744 until the entry for Thomas, it is possible that he had other grants from this source which cannot now be traced. Less than two months later, Thomas married Rebecca Isgar, of Gosport, at Rowner on 6th August 1750, the entry in the register describing him as 'a Teacher of Dissenting Congregation at Gosport.' A curious feature of this marriage is that Rebecca seems to have been some 11 years older than Thomas, and their youngest cild, Lydia, was born when Rebecca was aged 44. Rebecca's elder sister, Lydia, married James Hammond on 2nd June 1738, at Alverstoke.
The obituaries in the Gentleman's Magazine, 铁凝 and his tombstone at St. Mary's Alverstoke, record that Thomas Williams died on 19th June 1770 and he is buried there in the Hammond family tomb. No starting date is given for Thomas Williams but a finishing date is given as 1749 and written in pencil after the name, 'Gosport'. Indeed, confirmation of the latter is provided by the Nottingham trade directories and other contemporary references, such as Abigail Gawthern's diary and the notice of his death in the Nottingham Journal, which all describe Thomas as a hosier. He kept an autobiographical diary which covered his entire life, from his birth in 1752 until a few days before his death in 1828. He began writing this diary in 1765, when he was only twelve, and the passages relating to his earlier life are based on memory. Purchasing the cards are cheap, and you even get them personalised! Five years later I thought it would be great to get back into it, but finding a harp in NZ was much harder than in France where I used to live. On however afterw'ds finding that the Mother really lived with my Brother (as, what is called, a West India Wife) & had certainly cohabited with no other person during that time; I not only consented but wish'd to cooperate with Mr Williams in providing for the Child, especially as it seem'd that my Brother had intended taking him with him to England, had he liv'd, the first time he came.
The classical and Hebrew tutor at the Academy during Thomas Williams time there was Dr. John Walker, LL.D., described as 'a man of uncommon learning and justly celebrated for his profound knowledge of the oriental languages.' The theological tutor was Dr. Zephaniah Marryat, a Presbyterian, considered to be the best Greek scholar among the Dissenters, gifted with a great memory, and a man who gained the affections of his pupils. Reports were sent to his sponsoring minister, whose church contributed to his support at the Academy. He sent always something every day at dinner from the Cabin to the sick. Plaisterer's Hall this day fortnight. Mrs Clerke being staying at Mrs Lennox's the Authoress at Westminster, we therefore on this day called & breakfasted with her there after which we all 3 went in Post Chaises to Gosport, which journey I must be so ungallant as to say was one of the most unpleasant ones I ever took, as besides Bandboxes innumerable that were to be stow'd withinside, Mrs C. had a Bird & a Squirrel in cages.
The time allowed for my Vacation being now nearly expired, I on the 29th. went with Miss Wood who was going to spend some time with her Friend Mrs Clerke to Gosport on my way back to Romsey. My Bro'r Henry being now on board his Ship here, I took the opportunity of going to see him & bringing him on shore to dine at Mrs H's by her desire, with whom & Mr Thos Williams (son of the late dissenting Minister & Nephew of Mrs H.) Mr Fielder & his Brother (Attorney of Lymington) we all, on the 2nd. of July, took a Sail to Spithead & spent the Evening, with Mrs Hammond & the family, at Mr Bedford's, from whence I made an excursion between Tea & Supper time to the Concert at Portsmouth with Mr Fielder whom I introduced there. Everyone is quite happy now since the good weather commenced. Out of Channel into Atlantic. It was great to have the opportunity to try out playing this instrument and I really appreciate the access Robyn’s harp hire provides for people like me who are keen to have a go.
