Notes for THOMAS WATERHOUSE:
The 1841 census shows that Thomas was living at home and working as an apprentice carpenter. In 1851 Thomas was working as a journeyman carpenter and living at home with his parents. By the 1861 census Thomas had left home and started a family, marrying Phoebe Woolfitt. She was living at their home in London while Thomas was lodging at a farm in Yorkshire. I presume Thomas was away on business, but Yorkshire was a long way from London in 1861 for a carpenter to travel? Phoebe was looking after their son Henry while Ellen Louise was staying with Thomas's grandfather John Waterhouse. Could this have been because of a possible illness to Phoebe which eventually saw her spend the rest of her life in an asylum? Research at the Totland Archive has a document stating that Thomas moved to Totland from Ventnor, Isle of Wight in 1868. The census of 1871 shows Thomas had moved his family to the Isle of Wight and was working as an estate agent in Alum Bay. Phoebe had not moved with the family to the Isle of Wight. In the 1881 census Thomas was living at Warren Farm and working as a private agent. In 1891 Thomas was living with his family and working as an estate agent. By 1901 Thomas had retired. His son William John was now working as an estate agent.

Notes for PHOEBE WOOLFITT:
Phoebe did not move to the Isle of Wight with her family. She was with them in 1861 in London. The census shows her family had moved to the Isle of Wight in 1871, but Phoebe had not. Phoebe was shown to be a 'Lunatic' and a 'pauper' in The District Lunatic Asylum for the County of Nottingham. Phoebe was still there in 1881. Phoebe was in the asylum when she died in 1883.
The County Lunatic Asylum: a fate worse than the workhouse.
In the 19th century anyone in Nottinghamshire considered to require psychiatric treatment,
and without the means to pay, was sent to the County Lunatic Asylum in Carlton Road,
Sneinton. This institution, which would have been known and feared by all in Hucknall,
was opened in 1812 and closed in 1902 when services were moved to Radcliffe-
The original hospital could accommodate about 80 patients and was extended in subsequent years, but by 1853 this number had risen to 250 and conditions were cramped. The increase was not caused by any sudden rise in mental illness, but resulted from an act of Parliament passed 1845, which required all individuals deemed to be insane to be sent to an asylum rather than being cared for in workhouses or their own homes.
The treatment received in the asylum was considered humane and enlightened for the times and the recovery rate quite good. Outside there were gardens and recreation grounds, but inside the shackling and chaining of patients in cells with shuttered windows and stone beds was still part of the regime.
The most effective part of the system was its administration. Overseers of the poor were required to inform a Justice of the Peace of all 'lunatics' and 'idiots' within their parish on request, and provide a medical certificate stating whether or not they required admission. Once inside meticulous records were required by law of all treatments, restraints used and acts of violence.

Notes for ERNEST THOMAS WATERHOUSE:
THE ROYAL FIELD ARTILLERY 1914-
1/5th Hampshire (Howitzer) Bty. 04 Aug 1914 -
6th (Poona) Division
Formed in Bombay and ordered to Mesopotamia, where it remained. The Division fought the early engagements in Mesopotamia virtually on its own.
The Division surrendered after the 5-
The 1/5 Hampshire (Howitzer) Bty. joined the 6th Division in March 1915.
The siege of Kut-
Where this battle took place
Kut-
At the time of this action, daytime temperatures had cooled and were no longer a problem; night was freezing.
Siege and eventual surrender
Following the unexpected repulse in front of Ctesiphon, the exhausted and depleted
British force was urged back to the defences of Kut-
From Whitehall -
Divisional commander Charles Townsend was promised a rapid relief. He calculated
that there were enough supplies in Kut to enable his force to hold out for a month:
he was told it might take two months for the relief force to arrive. He sensibly
suggested an attempt to break out and retire -
Townsend at first kept the garrison on a full daily ration, fully confident that
a relieving force would arrive. Several large-
Meanwhile the attempt to assemble a force and advance to relieve the garrison failed
in a series of bitterly-
On 26th April 1916, after receiving approval from higher command and Governments,
Townsend asked the Turks for a 6-
After the surrender
But worse was to come. Townsend himself went into a comfortable if isolated captivity.
The sick, unfit, undernourished men of the garrison were force-
The British Army lost 227 British and 204 Indian officers and 12828 other ranks -
Retrospective
The decision to stand at Kut was a grave mistake: the initiative, until then always
with the British in this campaign, passed to the Turks. The forces available to relieve
the garrison were too few and too long in coming. The fact that the Tigris Corps,
coming to the relief of the garrison, fought a splendid if ultimately unsuccessful
campaign was to no avail. The loss of Kut and the Poona Division stunned the British
Empire and her Allies and provided another huge morale boost for Turkey and Germany,
especially coming so soon after Britain's ignominious withdrawal from Gallipoli.
The need to relieve Kut drew more forces into Mesopotamia -
The British Order of Battle
6th (Poona) Division was the formation that withstood the siege and largely died in captivity, at Turkish hands.

As Ernest Thomas Waterhouse was now part of the 6th Division it can only mean that he must have gone through hell in Mesopotamia. He died on 30th May 1916. The surrender happened one month earlier on 29th April 1916. This meant he lived through the siege but died in captivity.

Notes for ARTHUR HENRY WATERHOUSE:
THE ROYAL FUSILIERS 1914-
26th (Service) Battalion (Banker's Battalion):
Formed in London on 17 July 1915 by the Lord Mayor and City of London, and composed in the main of former bank clerks and accountants. November 1915 to Marlow. To Aldershot November 1915 and then attached to 124th Brigade, 41st Division. Landed in France 4th May 1916.
There is a memorial to the Royal Fusiliers of 1914-
The 41st Division
This Division was formed in September 1915, and was part of the Fifth New Army, K5. Most of its units had been locally raised, often by the Mayor or Borough Councils.
The Division moved to France by 6th May 1916. Commanded throughout its life by Major-
All units were concentrated near Steenwerck, and the Division began familiarisation with trench warfare in the areas of Ploegsteert and the Douve valley, south of Ypres, where it remained until August 1916.
Arthur was sadly killed in action not long after arriving in France. The Division landed on the 4th May 1916. The Commonwealth War Grave Commission has a memorial in the Bailleul Communal Cemetery showing that Arthur died on 19th June 1916. Notes from the 41st Division show that action did not begin until the August of 1916. With that in mind how did Arthur Henry Waterhouse meet his death?
