Olive Titcomb Pote

2011-10-12T07:19:00.000Z

This small circa 1850 portrait of Olive Titcomb Pote has retained its charm despite the underlying wood panel wearing through. She was born into one and married into another sea-going family from Falmouth, Maine that were shuffled by the hand of Death for three generations.
Her father died of yellow fever in Havana in 1854, while master of a brig, the Montrose. In the same year a younger brother shipped for Le Havre, but vessel and crew were never heard from again. Olive died in childbirth in 1862, age 36. Her widower, Capt. Samuel, re-married the widow of her lost younger brother.

Congratulations Mr and Mrs Jon Titcombe

2011-07-10T14:43:00.001Z

Andrew & Diane Titcombe in Wigton Cumbria celebrated (joyfully) their eldest son JONATHAN ERIC's wedding to Bonnie Hostler from Cambridge The new Mr and Mrs Jon Titcombe will be living in Coalville Leicestershire when they return from a honeymoon in the USA (including 3 days in Las Vegas) The marriage service was at St John the Evangelist Church London Road Carlisle http://www.stjohnscarlisle.plus.com/ on June 25th 2011. After the service guests made their way to Keswick to the Lodore Falls Hotel for the reception. This was followed by a cruise on Derwentwater and an evening disco back in the hotel.
Bonnie is a florist in East Leake so the flowers in the church and at the wedding breakfast were beautiful. She and Jon planned the wedding so thoughtfully that every little detail was amazing down to the ducks on the place setting. All the guests were impressed and are still talking about the event
Official photos are still awaited but family photos can be seen here including a video of the first dance to a Michael Buble song !
We are sorry we couldn't invite every Titcombe or even Titcomb but, as proud parents, we invite you to look at our / their special day and share our joy
On an interesting Titcombe family note when my wife and I researched family history in Reading some years ago we noted that often the TITCOMBE name was often spelled without an E and also that many Titcombs were, in fact, OSTLERS by trade so it is fitting that Jonathan has married a girl with a family name of HOSTLER

Margaret Titcomb (1891—1982)

2011-06-09T09:38:00.001Z

Margaret Titcomb, Librarian Emeritus of Bernice P. Bishop Museum and head librarian from 1931 to 1969, died in Honolulu on August 28, 1982, at the age of 91. Miss Titcomb was born in 1891 in Denver, Colorado. She was reared by adoptive parents in Brooklyn, New York, where she graduated from Packer Collegiate Institute. She joined the American Museum of Natural History as assistant librarian in 1924, and in 1931 accepted appointment as librarian of Bishop Museum.

During her years at Bishop Museum, Margaret Titcomb brought the Museum library to a position of eminence. Working with limited resources, she used exchanges of Museum publications and an ever-increasing bibliographic knowledge gained through extensive travel plus a wide circle of colleagues in natural history, anthropology and history, to build a library of distinction in the Pacific field. Under her hand, the Museum library catalogue became a model of analytic bibliography. It was published by G. K. Hall in 1964-1969 in nine volumes and two supplements.

Margaret Titcomb was also a scholar. Her monograph, in collaboration with Mary Kawena Pukui, on the Native Uses of Fish in Hawaii was published in 1952 as Memoir No. 29 of The Polynesian Society, and was reprinted by the University of Hawaii Press in 1972. In 1969, Bishop Museum Press published her Dog and Man in the Ancient Pacific, and in 1978 Native Use of Marine Invertebrates in Old Hawaii (with Fellows, Pukui, and Devaney) appeared as a special monograph issue of Pacific Science. She earlier published a children's book on Polynesian migration, The Voyage of the Flying Bird, in 1963, which won the Dodd, Mead Librarian and Teacher Prize and was reprinted in 1970. Her translation with Harold St. John of the observations of the French botanist Gaudichard-Beaupré of the vegetation of Hawaii in 1819, is about to be published by Bishop Museum Press.

The Bishop Museum Library, over which Margaret Titcomb presided, was a port of call for virtually all Pacific historians and anthropologists of her time. With many she maintained a voluminous correspondence, and extended generous hospitality during their visits to Honolulu. J. C. Beaglehole, Phyllis Mander-Jones, Harry and Honor Maude, Père Patrick O'Reilly, Bengt Danielsson, Douglas Oliver, and E. S. C. Handy are among the many scholars she counted as both professional colleagues and friends.

Margaret was a direct descendant of Charles Titcomb of Thetford, VT.

Ed also served for many years as a Director of Northwest Paper Company, Boise Cascade Corporation, and Rock Island Company. He was President of Rodman Industries from 1972 to 1983. Ed was an avid sportsman and hobbyist. He enjoyed golf with his children and grandchildren, skiing the mountains of Colorado, and challenging his friends to sets of tennis.

John Titcomb

2011-05-01T12:01:00.000Z

John Titcomb was born about 1830 in the small hamlet of Westcott at the foot of the Downs in northwest Berkshire. Little is known of his early life, but it is likely that he came from a family of shepherds. Indeed, at the age of 26 when he married, he was employed as a shepherd. It was on 11th August 1856 that John married Hannah Reade, a young woman from the village of Watchfield. Throughout their married life, they lived in a small cottage outside Watchfield, just above West Mill. John worked as a shepherd and agricultural labourer, while it seems that Hannah spent most of her life giving birth and bringing up children. The couple had seventeen children over a period of 25 years - Charles, Elizabeth Anne, John, Joseph, James, Martha Jane, Martha Rebecca, Mary Jane, Thomas, Amy, David, Albert, Walter, George and Edwin.
