Thomas Bailey was born around
1810, and was not local to
Derbyshire. He worked as a
foreman in the gardens at
Chatsworth, probably in the
arboretum department. In 1838
when Paxton went on an
extended journey abroad with the
6th Duke, and then Andrew
Stewart left for Paris, he was
temporarily put in charge of the
gardens. A little is known about
Bailey from the letters written
between Joseph and Sarah
Paxton, who did not approve of
his conduct. Bailey appears to
suffered for several years from
alcoholism. In 1839, Sarah wrote
that she suspected Bailey was
seeing one of the local girls,
Hannah Milner, ‘in the character
of a lover’. Sarah’s suspicions
were correct. In 1841 Thomas
Bailey married Hannah Milner at
Edensor, and the Paxtons were
witnesses. Unfortunately, the
marriage does not appear to have
put an end to Bailey’s drinking,
which was worsened on the
death of his mother. Thomas
Bailey died, possibly as a result of
complications from his
alcoholism, in 1846 while only in Bailey Mary Female 1880 1882 Devonshire House Housekeeping Maid Housemaid FM/3: Devonshire House Wage Book, 1861-1888

Bickell 1867;, CS2/128/0-4, DF5/2/2/2
Elizabeth Bickell was employed
as temporary housekeeper for
the visit of Queen Victoria
following the death of Hannah
Gregory in 1843. After this
satisfactory trial period, she was
employed as the new
housekeeper in April 1844. Later
that year she managed an
outbreak of typhus among the
housemaids (P/247) and was
praised for her ability to generate
money from tourists (P/248).
However, tensions rose between
Bickell and Sarah Paxton, and in
1846 Bickell was dismissed after
Sarah Paxton told her husband
and the Duke that the
housekeeper had taken friends
and servants to Hardwick, had
flowers cut from the conservatory
for a wedding, and entertained
her friends in the Duke's private
apartments at Chatsworth. Miss
Bickell wrote two apologetic
letters to the Duke, and from
around 1848 until 1865 she was
paid a pension of £100 per year.
She be the housekeeper of the
Queen's Hotel, Manchester in the
1861 census, as she had friends
in Manchester.

William Condell was personal
physician to the 6th Duke from at
least the 1830s. Some of his time
was spent as physician to the
Duke and his household
servants, and the rest of his time
taking care of his patients at his
practice at Baslow. This dual
allegiance caused problems,
because the Duke was fond of
travelling, and frequently took
Condell away from his practice
(see CS2/10/3-6). Condell was
present when the Duke died at
Hardwick Hall in 1858.

This is probably the same John
Edwards who was Cook at
Devonshire House. Because the
House Steward would be the one
in charge of paying wages they
are rarely recorded in the account
books themselves. He appears in
1792 as there are several
payments for 'doctors to attend
Mr Edwards'. He died in 1794 and
the Duke paid for his £32 12s 6d
for his funeral.

Correspondence etc., 1895
Sidney Gasper was a
gamekeeper dismissed for his
alcoholism and inefficiency, and
for selling tickets to the public to
watch the shooting. He was
injured by a cart during his notice
period, and many of the letters
discuss whether or not the Duke
is liable to pay compensation.
The affair was slightly awkward
for the Duke, as Gasper had
come recommended by Lord
Stanley.

Correspondence etc., 1895
Sidney Gasper was employed as
the head gamekeeper at
Chatsworth in 1895 after a
recommendation by Lord Stanley.
In 1905 he was dismissed for
drunkenness, and suspected of
selling tickets to watch the
shooting to the public. A
disagreement followed when
Gasper was injured by a cart after
his dismissal but before his
departure- the Duke tried to
ascertain whether he was liable
to pay compensation.

DE/CH/6/1/23 List of workers and foremen
John Gibson began his career as
a gardener under his father at
Eaton Hall in Cheshire. In 1832
he was apprenticed to Joseph
Paxton at Chatsworth, and three
years later, when he was only
twenty years old, the Duke sent
him on a plant-finding expedition
to India. He returned in 1837 with
Amherstia Nobilis plants, and 300
other new plant species, including
80 orchids. On his triumphant
return, Gibson was promoted to
foreman of the exotic plant
department. He seems to have
got on well with Joseph Paxton,
even if Sarah Paxton thought he
was a ‘precious puppy’. John
Gibson left Chatsworth in 1849,
and went on to become
superintendent of Hyde Park, St
James’ Park and Kensington
Gardens. He died in 1875 after a
period of illness which left him
paralysed. The archive contains a
collection of correspondence
written between John Gibson and
Paxton during his expedition to
India. It also contains a letter to
the Duke from the time of his
departure from Chatsworth,
thanking him for everything.
