Biography of Charles Bishop
HERITAGE NO : Charles Joseph Bishop GLASS MANUFACTURER Charles Joseph Bishop was born in St Helens on the 28th of August 1851. Hen lived in the Cowley Hill area of St Helens which at the time was a most desirable district for the well-heeled classes. His father, Charles Bishop, was born in London and had moved to St Helens to set up a flint glass manufacturing factory. In the first ever match for St Helens RFC Charles was one of three backs playing alongside iron Founder Harry Valley and the local solicitor John Hammill. The opponents that day were Liverpool Royal Infirmary who managed to score five tries to nil but failed in all their conversions at goal. The curious result was a drawn match but ‘in favour’ of Liverpool Royal Infirmary. It is interesting to note that Charles also played in the same team as two of his future brothers-in-law that day, namely David and William Gamble; a clear indication of the exclusive, dizzy social circles frequented by our first players. He married Anne Jane Gamble in July 1874 . It was a rather grand affair with the ceremony taking place in St Helens Parish Church. Anne was the daughter of Sir David Gamble who had established a chemical empire in the town. Charles and Anne had five children including Major Charles Gamble Bishop who died in World War 1 on the 30th of October 1917 and is buried at Bard Cottage Cemetery, Ypres, Belgium. Charles became the Mayor of St Helens in 1889 and again in. 1906. It is interesting to note that fou other Saints fulfilled that prestigious role: John Forster in 1900, James Crooks ink 1912, David Gamble (1913 and 1914) and Richard Ellison in 1921. By 1911 Charles, his wife and two daughters had moved out of St Helens and were living in Hart Hill, Allerton, Liverpool. Charles was still listed as a Glass Manufacturer. When Charles died in May 25th 1923 he was living at Edenhurst, Huyton-in-Roby, Lancashire. That property is now the Derby Lodge Hotel. He left the princely sum of £75 715 to his widow Anne and their two spinster daughters.
