trip to Bristol with observations on glass and pottery manufacture in 1815. Also included is

The Hanbury and Aggs families were prominent English Quakers who were involved in a variety
of mercantile and philanthropic activities, predominantly in the 19th century. Daniel Bell
Hanbury was the son of Capel and Charlotte Bell Hanbury of Stanford Hill, north of London.
He entered Old Plough Court Pharmacy in 1808, under the sponsorship of his uncle, William
Allen, and married Rachel Christy in 1824. Their son, Daniel, was also a pharmacologist, and
became a partner in Allen & Hanbury's. Thomas Hanbury, the third son, began his career
as a silk merchant in Shanghai, and in 1867 purchased an old villa at Mortola on the road to
Ventimiglia in northern Italy. He pursued botanical research, and his gardens were visited
by royalty. Thomas Hanbury was knighted in 1901 for his philanthropy. Daniel Bell Hanbury's
only daughter, Anna Christy Hanbury, married Thomas Aggs, the son of Henry and Mary Gibbins
Aggs in 1861.
Return to the Table of Contents
The Hanbury-Aggs Papers represent an important resource for the study of middle class
Quaker family life in 19th century London and central England. This collection illustrates a
network of mutual obligation among merchants, bankers, and manufacturers arranging
apprenticeships, investing in each other's ventures, serving as executors for each other's
estates, a network that was cemented by a complex web of intermarriages. The Hanbury and
Aggs families were directly related by the marriage of Thomas and Anna Christy Hanbury Aggs,
but were further tied by kinship with many of the other important Quaker families of the
day, including Gurney, Barclay, Bell, Pease, Birbeck, Kett, etc. The journals,
correspondence, and estate papers are excellent sources for this documentation.
These papers also offer information on a variety of other topics. Of particular interest is
the material in Series 4. Daniel Bell Hanbury's travel journals illustrate contemporary
conditions in Europe (as viewed by an English Quaker) and give information about the Verona
Conference, which he visited with his uncle William Allen. Allen called on Czar Alexander,
the Duke of Wellington, and others to encourage the abolition of the slave trade.
Daniel Bell Hanbury's later correspondence (Series 4 & 6) with son Thomas in Shanghai
provides an insight into China trade and current events in the East. The letters (Series 5)
of his son, Daniel, author of Pharmacogia, and Daniel's correspondence with Thomas, who had
returned from China and was living in La Mortola on the Italian Riviera, concern medicinal
plants and natural science. Sir Thomas' gardens were well known and were visited by royalty
and tourists.
Some material on women in the families has been preserved. The Account Books (Series 2) of
Hannah Plumstead Sr. document the household expenses of an upper middle class Quaker widow
at the end of the 18th century. Hannah's niece, Anna Hanbury, kept at least two journals of
her travel in 1814 and 1815 which can be compared with those of her nephew, Daniel Bell
Hanbury, for the same trips (Series 3 & 4). Anna Christy Hanbury (1830-1913), who later
married Thomas Aggs, wrote letters to her parents while traveling in Italy and France
(Series 7).

Primarily the estate administration papers of Capel Hanbury and of the family of his
wife, Mary Lunn, including the Lunns and Plumsteads. Capel Hanbury, a birthright Friend,
was the only son of Elizabeth Newton and Capel Hanbury, a Bristol soap merchant. Capel,

merchants. In 1750, he married Mary (d. 1793), daughter and heir of William Lunn,
Vintner, at St. Botolph's, London. This Series is composed of account books and
contracts and probated wills relating to the estates of the family of Mary Lunn Hanbury,

Lunn Sen. (d. 1807) and Robert Plumstead (d.1760), and their children, Hannah Plumstead
Jr. and Mary Plumstead Bevan (the wife of Joseph Gurney Bevan). Joseph Gurney Bevan was
the only child of Timothy Bevan and Hannah Gurney, his second wife. The younger Bevan
took over the business at Plough Court Pharmacy from his father, and, when he retired,
passed it on to Samuel Mildred and his clerk, William Allen. The latter assumed sole
control in 1797. Joseph Gurney and Mary Bevan died without issue.

and his brother, John, married two sisters, Charlotte Susanna (d.1839) and Elizabeth
(respectively), daughters of Daniel Bell and great granddaughters of Robert Barclay.
Kitty Bell, another sister, married Johnny Gurney and was the mother of Elizabeth Fry
and Joseph John Gurney. Another brother, William Hanbury, was stationed in India with
the Army and probably died there after 1780. Charlotte Hanbury married William Allen,
and Anna Hanbury remained unmarried. Capel and Charlotte Bell Hanbury had two sons,
Cornelius and Daniel Bell Hanbury. Capel became established at Ware as a corn merchant
and later as a dealer in malt.

Plough Court Pharmacy in 1808, under the sponsorship of his uncle by marriage, William
Allen. In 1817, he accompanied Allen, his aunt, and George Majolier to Congenies via
Paris and Lyons, and, in 1822, with Allen to the Congress of Verona where he observed
Czar Alexander I, Metternich, and Wellington. In 1824 Hanbury married Rachel, daughter
of Thomas and Rachel Christy of Bloofield, Essex and Clapham, London; together they had
seven children. That same year he was made a partner at Plough Court, and the name was
changed from William Allen & Co. to Allen, Hanbury's and Barry. Daniel Bell Hanbury
retired from the business in 1868 and died in 1882, buried in Wandsworth, London.

to his father at the age of 16. In 1857, he passed an examination as Pharmaceutical
Chemist, and was made a member of the Pharmaceutical Society. In 1868, on the retirement
of his father, Daniel and his cousin, Cornelius Hanbury, became the two active partners
in Allen & Hanbury's. However, his interests lay more in research and writing, and
he retired from business only two years later. He never married and died from an attack
of typhoid fever.

purchased an old villa at Mortola on the road to Ventimiglia in northern Italy, close to
the French border. He married Katherine Aldham Pease, daughter of Thomas Pease, in 1869
and they had three children, Danny, Cecil, and Horace. In Italy, he was honored for his
