Google Books includes one of its irritating 'snippet views' from an old book of which the title begins "Reports of the pesilential disorder of Andalusia..." and goes on for some time. The author was Sir James Fellows, and it includes two references to JS Colquitt, one as 'my early friend and schoolfellow', the other showing part of what must have been a monumental inscription.
If this book, published in 1815, could be tracked down, it might give a clue about the original memorial in Spain.
Another snippet shows that JSC's name was inscribed on Panel VII in the Guards Chapel, Wellington Barracks. As the Chapel was bombed in WW2 the panel may not have survived.

In an earlier post you showed Ernest Augustus Colquitt at 47 Irvine Street with cousins, 1871 census, 'blind by gunshot'.
I have failed to find him in 1881, and even failed to find the odd numbers in Irvine Street - I have the LDS disc set which is searchable. I have tried the national disc too, but no success.
Any chance of a look for him? Being blind in 1871 he might have been in an institution, but I would like to eliminate Irvine Street first. He died on 15th October 1881, so he should have been caught by the census.
There must be a story behind that shooting!

Do you already have his death in Q4 1881? West Derby 8b 423 age about 72.
Doesn't seem to be an obituary.

Double thanks. That's a bit different from the real name, but I cannot work out why those odd numbers in Irvine Street are not on the 1881 LDS discs.
I shall try again in the morning.
I had the actual date of Ernest Augustus's death from a solicitor's notice in the Mercury inviting claims on the estate.

In 1861 Ernest A. Colquitt was a lodger at 8 High Street [did this become Highgate Street?] Edge Hill area, and was marked as blind.
Any chance of finding him in 1841 & 1851 census?
I cannot give a link to the newspaper as it was Spanish and may be old. The cutting came as a PDF file. How do I post it here please?

Just going to type up what I can read of the English bit.
Sacred to the Memory of John Scroope Colquitt Esquire
Lieut. Colonel in his Britannic Majestys 1st Regt. of Foot Guards
Wounded in Seville third? of September 1812 aged 37? years
of a fever brought on in consequence of excessive fatigue during
the march to Seville and of the great exertions which he made
whilst gallantly leading on his Batallion to the attack of the bridge
of Triana on the 21st of August, 1812.

Continuing the sad tale of Ernest A. Colquitt, recorded in censuses as 'blind'.
Morning Post, 10 Jan 1827:
'A lamentable accident occurred on Saturday at Lutwych Hall* the seat of R. Benson Esq**. A party were rabbit-shooting when one of the guns accidentally exploded and lodged the contents in the face of the son of the late Colonel Colquitt. His features are dreadfully lacerated and shots have entered both eyes.'
*Lutwych Hall - a large estate near Wenlock Edge, Shropshire
** Ralph Benson - a close relative of Ernest's mother.
It is not surprising that Ernest had no occupation listed in the successive census returns. He died in 1881 and was buried in the St James cemetery, now part of the Cathedral grounds.

I have been contacted by a Richard Morris who may have more up to date knowledge to help Andrew.
The following is edited from his message to me, leaving out details of living people.
"I was searching Hilda Picton Warlow etc. I see you have gathered a lot of info on her and the Cravens etc. My wife is related to Essie (Sarah) Dillwyn who married Fulwar Craven ...... Also related to the P Ws, Edmondes and Turbervill of Ewenny families.
Incidentally Hilda Craven married Sept 1902 Robert Picton Warlow son of Col. Turbervill of Ewenny. This info from her aunt Amy Dillwyn's diary for 1902.
Incidentally you may know this, but Hilda's and Ella's (her sister) mother, Sarah (Essie) Dillwyn later married an actor Frank Packenham. "
Perhaps Andrew might like to contact Richard direct by pm http://liverpool-genealogy.org.uk/phpBB ... ile&u=2654

] Hi,
It's sometime since I've been on this site so just a quick update. Many thanks to all, I'm most grateful, above all to Richard who is sending me so much information. I still haven't been able to contact any living relatives but hopefully it's just a question of time.
Fascinating the information about his son Ernest being blinded while hunting or his uncle Samuel involved in a duel.This is really such an interesting Liverpool family, so I can't understand why there is so little information about them.
John Scrope Colquitt died of typhoid fever in September 1812 shortly after the liberation of the city of Seville from the Napoleonic troops. His regiment was based in Alcala de Guadaíra a small town about 10 miles outside the city. This town was called the Panaderos, which means bakers, as they made the bread for the city of Seville. He was brought to this town and buried on top of small hill. There is now a roundabout on this spot and it is popularly known as La Cruz del Inglés, the Englishman's Cross. This is where the future monument will be erected. The original pillar and cross can be seen just 100 metres from this spot in the beautiful patio of a local resident. The column and cross had been abandoned at the roadside so Carlos Gutierrez (then a local councillor in times of General Franco) just picked them up and took them home. Meanwhile John Scrope Colquitt's remains had been taken to the non-catholic cemetery in Seville, reserved for people who were not catholic or who had committed suicide. A wall was built to separate these tombs from the rest. According to a local newspaper, it is the burial place among others of several British consuls in the city and of a local hero John Scroope who helped save the city from the French.
We have to ask the British Consulate for permission to visit the cementery which we will be doing shortly and we are waiting to have a meeting with the local mayor who is said to be very interested in the whole story. I will keep you all informed.
