Where are these items?

Items that I know once existed, from other sources, include:

Regarding Emma Smith / Emma Austen (Mrs. James Edward Austen):

“Baby Book” – all of Mrs. Smith’s children had books (which she eventually gave to said child) that summarized their progress, from babe to adult. I have only seen that written about young MARIA; Drummond’s is mentioned in the biography of his brother-in-law, James Edward Austen Leigh (see below).

Manuscript books – Late in life, Emma created a list of items which she wished each of her children to have. This list exists at the Hampshire Record Office. While she gifts daughter Amy (Emma Cassandra Austen Leigh) with a “M.S. book of poetry in green binding”, it is the gift to Mary Augusta Austen Leigh that REALLY catches my eye: “The oldest of my M.S. books of letters & extracts“. WHAT could these have been? WHOSE letters and extracts from WHAT?? Do they still exist? Of course they could be letters and extracts relating to her deceased siblings (the deaths of Drummond and Augusta produced hours of reading over old journals and old letters; copies of Drummond’s journals / letters are known to exit). Emma’s list also mentions SO MANY pieces of jewelry and/or pictures/miniatures of relatives.

Tour Journal of Emma Smith, begun and either abridged or abandoned (referenced in letter 1822). Emma’s diaries have a few opening entries for July 1822, but the remainder of that book is BLANK; the first half of the 1823 diary is blank as well! It begins again, once the family reached the shores of England. “Lost,” therefore, is what the Smiths did en route (through Belgium, France, Switzerland) and in Italy (where they wintered in Rome).

Emma’s diaries exist in great part (at the Hampshire Record Office), but see below for the few MISSING years.

Regarding Drummond Smith (Emma’s youngest brother):

Tour (Italy) Journal of Drummond Smith; mentioned in his sister Emma’s (January) 1833 diary. The siblings read about young Drummond following news of his death, at the age of only Twenty.
JULY 2013: FOUND! OMG: a copy has passed as a travel journal belonging to Emma Smith (“Aunt Emma”) and is in her MS collection at Stanford University. Copied out by whom? the handwriting is not Aunt Emma Smith’s.
April 2021: still unaccounted for is a SECOND “copy” of the same combination of journal/letters. It sold on 24 July 2013, at Dominic Winter Auctions. Described as “Grand Tour. A manuscript fair hand journal of a European Grand Tour undertaken by Drummond Smith in 1832, 286 pp., travelling [from Tring, Herfordshire] through France, Germany, Italy and with most time spent in Sicily, a total of seven weeks, partly in the company of Mr Odell and Lord Ossory, the latter half containing copy letters sent home, all in a neat and uniform hand written up soon after (paper watermarked 1832), contemp. morocco gilt, lacks upper cover, 4to.”
Drummond’s diary could NOT have been found in an online “finding aid” in the same month that it sold; so they cannot, physically, be the same journal – but I have no doubt the content is the same. See Dominic Winter’s 2013 catalogue. It would be so NEAT to “Talk Drummond” with the owner – for I have more information on that fateful trip…

The beginning of another Drummond Smith travel narrative was copied into Jeremy Catto’s Letterbook: A journal of the tour Drummond took with Mary and Charles Smith, Fall 1829. Blank pages were left for the never-copied remainder of the trip. Where is the original (or even a different copy)?

Manuscript book outlining Drummond’s life, from babyhood to young man; mentioned by Mary Augusta Austen Leigh, in the biography of her father James Edward Austen Leigh. I know refer to these as “Baby Books”.
See post on a similar book for Maria Smith / Lady Culme-Seymour.
Mrs Smith obviously kept such books about each of her nine children.

Manuscript letters written TO Drummond Smith, 1832. Mamma’s 1832 diary turns up a LOT of letters written to the two sons (travelling separately) abroad. Drummond’s Italian Tour includes only HIS letters to the family members at home. Still “lost” (and given the postmarks, I think they grace many a postal history collection) are those mailed TO Drummond in the likes of Florence, Rome, Naples (the beginning of the trip, of course saw him move from Calais and through France).

Regarding Fanny Smith / Fanny Seymour (Emma’s sister, Mrs. Richard Seymour):

Diaries of Fanny Smith, presumably were kept most of her life, though it is difficult to know more beyond what dates her husband Richard Seymour mentions in his diary when reading them after Fanny’s death (in 1871). I suspect that if her mother and sister (Emma) kept diaries, “lifelong,” that Fanny did so as well. They at least start by 1820 (Richard read about an 1820 trip, that he then reproduced; a drawing also exists from this 1820 trip.) I suspect they would have begun a few years prior: Fanny was born in October 1803; Emma, who was born in 1801, has an earliest extant diary for the year 1815. I believe Fanny followed suit within a year or two. She at least kept diaries through the first year of her marriage (1834) and does seem to have kept them at least through 1844 (and probably much later). Surely, Richard would not have destroyed these precious relics.

“Baby Books” Fanny husband Richard Seymour takes great pleasures in reading the “Baby Book” Mrs. Smith (his mother-in-law) wrote charting Fanny’s progress. Fanny obviously followed her mother’s example. Like that for Drummond Smith [above] and Maria Smith [“Maria’s Progress,” below], Fanny charted the lives of her Seymour children. Again mentioned by Richard, following Fanny’s death.
While I would more dearly love to hear about Fanny Smith’s Baby Book, anyone having copies of those belonging to the Seymour children would be pleased to know that the Seymours of Kinwarton (especially the two youngest daughters, Emma and Fanny) are represented in photo albums put together by the Spencer-Smith daughters.

Regarding Maria Louisa Smith / Lady Seymour (Emma’s youngest sister, 2nd wife of the Rev. Sir John Hobart Culme-Seymour):

Diary/Journal: I have found one daily diary (1841) kept by Maria before her 1844 marriage to Sir John Hobart Culme-Seymour. More had to have existed, once. She was not an every day respondent, but any daily journals belonging to her would be of interest.
Maria does seem to have had an early (20th century) dissemination from the family into public archives and private collector hands. Her letters seem to come on the market with some “regularity.” I would be interested in any that people have, whether willing/wanting to sell or not. The content interests me; and Maria was a “saver”.

Regarding Augusta Smith / Augusta Wilder (eldest sister; wife of Rev. Henry Watson Wilder):

“Foreign Journal” of Augusta Smith (aka Augusta Wilder); presumably covers the same tour (1822-23) as Emma’s begun/abandoned journal (Mrs Smith’s letter dated December 1826). Such “journals” may exist as hefty “letter” packets. Cousin Lady Elizabeth Compton had something they all called “journal,” that she sent back to England when the Northamptons stayed in Italy (1824), but was it something bound? I’m not sure. [for Lady Liz, see below]

It is quite probable, if Emma and Fanny (and even Maria & Charles) kept diaries in the “red pocket books,” that Augusta, too, kept daily journals. With no daughters to inherit (daughters SEEM the typical conduit for family papers), and no grieving husband, what happened to anything once belonging to Augusta??

Regarding Charles Joshua Smith (Emma’s eldest brother; husband of Mary Gosling):

Sir Charles Joshua Smith, letters from abroad during his Continental Tour, 1820-21 (surely retained in the family; originally addressed to Emma Smith, though he surely wrote to all family members, so more to be noted, maybe, than just those Emma notes receiving).
I have found some letters written to his cousin Lady Elizabeth Compton; they are a delightful record of this truly GRAND “grand tour”. Charles went as far north as Stockholm; as far east as Moscow. Not only did he “add” Austria to his grand tour, he included Poland, as well as Russia. I can well imagine them – either singly or in a group – as prized possession in postal history collections. I’m looking to transcribe them, not necessarily buy them.

Regarding Spencer Smith (Emma’s middle brother):

Mamma’s 1832 diary makes mention of all the siblings, and herself and even brother-in-law James Edward Austen and prospective brother-in-law Arthur Currie, writing Letters to Drummond and Spencer. I have never come across any letters to or from Spencer Smith, while he was on this tour of Italy (independent of his brother Drummond). Notes are made in the diary of letters sent to Vienna, Salzburg, Venice, Rome, Naples, Paris. I can well imagine them – either singly or in a group – as prized possession in postal history collections. Again, I’m looking to transcribe them, not necessarily buy them.

Regarding Sarah Eliza Smith / Lady Le Marchant (wife of Sir Denis Le Marchant):

Mamma had SIX daughters and two daughters-in-law. Unfortunately, two daughters and one daughter-in-law died before Mamma (October 1845). I have yet to find much of anything that traces to Eliza Le Marchant. She might have shared in the “stash of stuff” from earlier generations (not to mention: I’d love to find more from Eliza herself).

Regarding Charlotte Judith Smith / Charlotte Currie (Mrs. Arthur Currie):

Like Eliza (above) I have yet to find much of anything that traces to Charlotte Smith. She might have shared in the “stash of stuff” from earlier generations, but Charlotte died young, in 1840, leaving a clutch of daughters (& one son) to be raised by Arthur and his second wife, Dora Seymour (the widowed Mrs. Chester). Even early letters by Charlotte have been (so far) rather elusive.

&

Regarding the Gosling family:

William-Ellis Gosling, “MS Volume of his reflections and notes”; mentioned by Charlotte Brookes (c1919) as being in her possession in the book Christie of Glyndebourne (privately-printed).
Highly valuable to me, especially IF it mentions Cecil St. Quintin. I believe that William and Cecil wished to marry, but that her family’s circumstances did not pleased Mr. Gosling. The hints (without details) are in William’s will – probated in 1834.

Elizabeth (Gosling) Christie’s “Honeymoon Diary” (c1829); mentioned by Charlotte Brookes (c1919; see above) as being in the possession of Mrs F.L. Wilder (presume the widow of Francis Langham Wilder, the former Beatrice Hibbert, who died in 1955).
Elizabeth took a true “honeymoon” – she and Langham Christie went abroad (which is something no one else in the family really did – but honeymoons is a topic for a blog post…).

It is also HARD to have so little material – letters especially – between the Gosling siblings, especially between Elizabeth and Mary. COULD material be at Glyndebourne? (I didn’t get answer to a query.)

Regarding the Compton / Northampton / Scrase Dickins family:

Letters and/or Travel Journal of Lady Elizabeth Compton (later, the wife of Charles Scrase Dickins) [erroneously spelled Dickens] [note: like Jane Austen still being written as Austin, the Dickins family suffers through having their name spelled like the author Charles Dickens. In contemporary items, I find both spellings]; mentioned in a letter from Augusta Smith (Wilder), 1824 (as the recipient), while the Comptons were in Italy: “I received, last week, your journal written after the ascent of Vesuvius and I thank you very much…”. Augusta also mentions wanting to see Lady Elizabeth’s drawings from this trip.
Seeing some of Lady Elizabeth’s letters, and delving more into the word usage of the families in general, I really believe such “journals” to have been in LETTER FORM – probably written over several days (if not longer). There exists a letter by Spencer Smith, when abroad, that covers several dates – mailed out once the letter paper was full (over filled! a LOT of crossing), and, in Spencer’s case, a way to transport it to England found. Like her cousin Charles Joshua Smith’s letters, these could very well be gracing postal history collections, as they undoubtedly would look very “attractive”. NB: Charles Scrase Dickins accompanied Charles Joshua Smith on his Grand Tour of 1820-1821. CSD was also with Lady Elizabeth and the Northamptons in Italy during the 1820s.

Regarding the Seymour family:

“Journals, Letterbooks &c” of Sir Michael Seymour, cited as sources for the DNB biography (1897 edition) of Sir Michael Seymour, son of Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, and brother of the Revd. Richard Seymour.

Diaries of the Rev. Richard Seymour; extracts published by A. Tindal Hart (see, for instance, The Curate’s Lot and The Nineteenth Century Country Parson) in the 1950s. The Warwickshire Record Office has microfilm of these diaries; the present owner and whereabouts of the actual diaries is currently unknown. Richard’s diaries were written in booklets, rather than pre-printed diaries, like The Daily Journal; excisions make dating some entries difficult (he did not write every day). I also do not know if bits cut out were removed by Richard, or a later “reader” (Richard MAY have x’ed out material, which, though tough to decipher at times, can often be read.)
The microfilm, if I remember correctly, had been made in the 1980s. A mail query by the Record Office at the time that I was looking to access the diaries (after my 2007 trip to England), was returned to them, “Occupant unknown” I suppose. They did not tell me a name for the prior owner. Richard’s diaries began before 1832, the earliest volume in the microfilm copy – which was marked by him as being Vol. 4. He was a faithful recorder until the volume for 1873.
I like to believe that if the family kept RICHARD’s diaries, they surely should have kept FANNY’s diaries. So many avenues for their dissemination. Hart and Carpenter, who must have handled the originals, thanked one of the grand-daughters, Miss A.M. Seymour (Alice Mary Seymour, daughter of Albert Eden Seymour and Hester Emily Fortescue; born circa 1882 IF she is the grand-daughter born two years after Richard’s death).

Regarding “Aunt” — Miss/Mrs Judith Smith, of Stratford Grove (near London):

In 1825, Augusta Smith (the daughter) wrote a New Year’s poem to Aunt; in it, there is reference to “a red Pocketbook, where none but herself are permitted to look,” counted among the ponderous items found in Aunt’s Pockets. The conclusion, of course, is that Aunt — like so many other members of this family — kept a little journal, possibly even using THE DAILY JOURNAL, a pre-printed annual, like her nieces and sisters. Aunt died in 1832. Items from Mary and Charles Smith (few of those, I hate to admit) ended up in the Essex Record Office; items from Emma and Edward Austen ended up in the Hampshire Record Office. Some of Mamma Smith’s diaries have been found among a group of letters that trace either to Fanny Seymour or her younger sister Maria (Lady Culme-Seymour).
WHO might have inherited Aunt’s letters and diaries remains a mystery. It would be unfortunate if they were not kept, despite Aunt’s horrible handwriting!

MISSING DIARIES
from series already known to exist:

Regarding Eliza Chute of The Vyne:

The Hampshire Record Office (Winchester) has several diaries written by Eliza Chute; other years obviously once “filled in” the gaps. HRO’s current holdings include diaries from the years:
1790
1792-1793-1794
1797-1798-1799-1800
1802
1804
1807
1813
1815-1816-1817
1819
1833-1834
1840
Eliza began keeping diaries before 1790 – a few pages removed from a 1787 diary exist in a private collection. She died in 1842, so there possibly existed diaries up to the year of her death. HRO’s holdings undoubtedly came via the Austen Leigh branch of the family. Other family members presumably inherited further bits and pieces. Eliza Chute’s diaries were kept in several ‘varieties’ of pre-printed “pocket book” journals; one popular type was that called The Daily Journal, or Gentleman’s, Merchant’s, and Tradesman’s complete Annual Accompt-Book (pictured above).

Regarding Mrs Augusta Smith, of Suttons:

HRO also has a small series of diaries written by Eliza’s sister/Emma’s mother, Mrs Charles Smith. HRO’s current holdings include diaries from the years:
1821
1830-1831-1832
1835
1837-1838
1840
1843
“Mamma” undoubtedly kept diaries, like her sisters Eliza and Emma, all her life (though starting at what age, I do not know). The earliest found — lent me for transcription by Mark Woodford — dates to 1798, the year of her engagement and marriage to Charles. With the wonderful document “Maria’s Progress,” owned by Jacky in Maidstone, there is no way Mamma Smith did not keep diaries for the next twenty years… Obviously, most of the 1820s (like those belonging to Eliza Chute) are missing; the holes in the 1830s only point up the faithful ‘yearly’ accounts she must have kept.
January 2012 UPDATE: In reading about Lord Northampton in the book History of the Comptons of Compton Wynyates, certain episodes in the history of his courtship and marriage to Maria Smith (daughter of Joshua and Sarah Smith, of Erle Stoke Park) are mentioned as having come, via Lady Alwyne (wife of Lord Alwyne Compton, daughter-in-law of the 2nd Marquess), from Augusta Smith’s 1787 diary! Augusta, born in 1772, would have been 15- years-old. At first my heart leapt, thinking the diary at Castle Ashby (as it concerned the marriage year of their mother, it was logical that Lady Elizabeth Dickins or Spencer Marquess of Northampton was given the diary); but on further reading of the text, it seems that Lady Alwyne “wrote up” a lot of family history from other sources. UPDATE (2014): Lady Alwyne’s  document is at Castle Ashby. I have SEEN it! The diary’s comments regarding Lady Compton’s marriage (in 1787) were copied out – surely from an original diary. So where’s Augusta Smith’s youthful diary/diaries??
UPDATE: Four of Mamma’s diaries, located in NYC, can be added to the above list:
1802
1803 [only up to APRIL; rest excised]
1805
1824.

Regarding Miss Emma Smith (Emma’s “Aunt Emma”) AND Sarah Smith (Mrs. Joshua Smith):

Jacky’s precious travel diaries, kept by Aunt Emma long before she became an ‘aunt’ to my Emma — in 1792 and 1794 — show that she too had a habit of “journalising”. More must exist from her youth (ie, anything prior to approximately 1820)… Some copies of later diaries have been located in California.
Along with Aunt Emma, Grandmama – Sarah Smith – is noted as a diarist in the family letters. But, like “Aunt’s” (Judith Smith, above), I have NOT ONE hint of an existing diary.

Regarding Emma Smith/Emma Austen Leigh:

Emma’s nearly-yearly set of diaries exist, like those of Mother and Aunt, at HRO. But there is one important hole: the diary for 1825, the year Belinda Smith (Charles’ first wife) died.
HRO’s set of diaries date to
1815-1824
1826-1867
1872
1874-1876
Known cuts to Emma’s diaries are pages removed during the periods in which she gave birth to her children. Curious! Anyone knowing why, do let me know. — my thoughts are either they were removed and destroyed because they told too much information about the births (über-Victorian prudishness?), or else they were removed and kept (perhaps by the various children themselves?).

Regarding Mary Gosling Smith and Charles Joshua Smith:

Since Mary kept travel diaries during her girlhood, it is probable that earlier diaries other than those located in the Essex Record Office (Chelmsford) once existed. Those at ERO, all kept in The Daily Journal series of pre-printed diaries (like Emma and Mamma), include:
1829-1830
1832-1833
1839-1840-1841
In all probability, these were left to daughter Augusta; she married Lawrence Capel Cure (Laurence Capel Cure?), and the items are part of the Blake Hall of Bobbingworth records. See Blake Hall’s website.

Charles has a “full-run” of diaries (also at ERO), 1826 through 1830 (he died in January 1831), but the curious thing with these are his 1826 diary begins with the day he married (though he says absolutely NOTHING about his own wedding!).
Why would a man who kept fives years of diaries, whose mother, Aunts, sisters kept diaries, not have begun his own diary much much earlier: he travelled, he had a first wife. Could he have destroyed these? One argument against such a thing as destruction is how much the Smiths seem to have held their private writings as important documents within the family, to be passed on to siblings and children. Only one diary (that for 1829) contains Charles’s name at the front of the diary: CJ Smith Suttons Essex. Few of the diaries of any family member have “ownership” penned somewhere; please go by the content…

Images for which I am actively SEARCHING, include:

portraits by Mrs Margaret Carpenter:

Harriet Colebrooke (1819)
Mamma Smith (1821)
Augusta Smith (1821)
John Bramston (1821) [Augusta draws him too!]
Fanny Smith (1826)
Augusta Smith – for a picture in oils (1827)
Emma Smith (1827)
Edward Austen (1829)

she is also known to have done an “Eton Leaving” portrait of Henry Beaufoy Wilder (Augusta & Henry’s younger son). UPDATE 2021: I have now seen an image, thanks to Eton’s online catalogue.

Portraits said to be once at Suttons (mentioned in Visitation of England and Wales):

Papa Smith (portrait)
Mamma Smith (miniature)
Belinda, Charles, Mary (portraits)
little Charles, his wife Agnes Cure, their sons Drummond & Reginald (portraits)
Drummond Smith (Emma’s brother)

Unknown:

March 1825 letter (Emma to Mamma Smith) mentions a portrait of Mary Gosling which Emma claims she not only wants but “can afford”; no mention of artist, or medium.

a diary entry describes a “Souvenir of the Year 1810″, a gift given by Margaret Lady Smith-Burges, as a netting box with her picture inset on the cover. No further details.

a 1798 letter from Eliza Chute to her sister Augusta Smith mentions a picture of Augusta, which is deemed “extremely like”; it could have been a companion to the drawing of Maria, Lady Northampton by Eliza Chute.

In a later letter (1860s) written by Maria (Lady Culme-Seymour) to her brother Spencer Smith of Brooklands, mention is made of a miniature of their father, Charles Smith of Suttons. It was something in Lady Culme-Seymour’s possession. It is unknown who the painter might have been.

portraits by Miss Mary Ann Knight:

Mamma Smith (1816)
Augusta Smith (destined for Belinda Colebrooke) (1822)

portraits by Sir William Beechey:

entire Gosling family: individual portraits of William and Charlotte (de Grey) Gosling; the three eldest sons, William Ellis, Robert, and Bennett; duo portrait of Elizabeth and Mary [August 2013 UPDATE; the three sons have been located!]

Thomas Smith, of Fonthill, Jamaica and Bersted, Bognor. Sold in the same Sotheby’s sale as the dual portrait of Mary and Elizabeth Gosling (19 Feb 1958); description: three-quarter length, seated by his desk, wearing a dark brown coat and fawn breeches (50×40 inches)
Susan Mackworth-Praed, his wife. Sold at Christie’s in July 1901. She was the twin sister of the Countess of Mayo; description: in red dress, with cloak lined with ermine, pearl necklace, seated on a terrace. Three-quarter length, face almost in profile, looking towards the right; a column in the background (50×40 inches)
*New*: November 2011 Bonham’s auction has a miniature of Susannah Smith, by James Leakey!

portraits by Mr Nicholls (no first name given):

Augusta Wilder (1835)
Emma seems to have sat to the man too. Also she and Chomeley sat to him for a small work in oils
Little Charles Austen (1835); and Amy Austen (1834)

portraits by Fanny Corbaux:

various Smith, Gosling, and Compton/Dickins children during the 1830s
Miss Ashley (1831) [Emma tells Aunt the portrait is ‘very nearly as like Mamma’s’; painted for Charlotte]
Mrs Augusta Smith (1831) [same letter intimates that Aunt herself also drew a picture of Mamma]
Eliza Le Marchant (1840) [in a letter Mamma asks, ‘are you sitting to Miss Corbaux?’]

Mr Nash portrait:

Spencer Compton (later, 2nd Marquess of Northampton) (1815)

Thomas Gainsborough portrait:

Joshua Smith, of Erle Stoke Park, Wiltshire. Sold in the same Sotheby’s sale as the dual portrait of Mary and Elizabeth Gosling (19 Feb 1958). Description: half-length in blue coat and red doublet in a landscape setting (36 1/2x 27 1/2 inches)

Emma Smith portrait:

Joshua Smith, of Erle Stoke Park. Description: Three-quarter length, in black coat and yellow waistcoat (37×28 inches). This was sold in the same Sotheby’s sale of 19 Feb 1958. Was it a copy of the Gainsborough portrait (similar in size)? And which Emma Smith painted it? No idea as to medium.

Augusta Smith Wilder portraits:

Augusta is not only described as talented, there are numerous mentions of her ‘taking likenesses’ or ‘shades’ in the family diaries and letters. Where are they all? One gets mentioned  by her niece Mary Augusta Austen Leigh: a portrait — said to be ‘very like’ of brother Drummond. Augusta’s pictures also grace the book Scenes from Life at Suttons – which I’ve never yet seen (it is mentioned in a book on Jane Austen; published by Spottiswoode). June 2011 Update: I now HAVE this book, thanks to a Wiltshire seller on eBay! However, not all the family is represented; missing: Fanny, Maria and Eliza. Aunt, Aunt Emma,  Aunt Chute should also have been drawn, since Mamma and Aunt Northampton are present. Fanny’s matching portrait is, I believe, to be found at the Hampshire Record Office.

Miss Scott (no first name), described by Mamma as ‘a paintress here’ in Brighton:

Alwyne Compton (son of the 2nd Marquess Northampton) (1830) [at Castle Ashby?]

Miniatures by Sir William Charles Ross, 1836:

The Rev. Richard Seymour writes of his own sitting to Ross (in London), in April 1836; then of Ross’ visit to Kinwarton to paint wife Fanny in September 1836.

Miniatures sold at 2006 Sotheby’s Auction, by Mrs Anne Mee:

It was sold with a dual miniature of the Marquess of Northampton (by Engleheart) and Maria’s mother Sarah Smith (Mrs Joshua Smith). He is illustrated; she is described as “with powdered and curled hair, wearing a white gown, sky background”.
Would LOVE to hear of their whereabouts!

Miniature, by George Englehart:
