• Anecdote*: It is reported that when their son James Middleton was age 7 years that he fell off the back of a horse and cart (his father was a coal merchant), knocked his head, and became deaf and dumb. On 5 Feb 1868, at 10 years of age, James was put into a home for the deaf and dumb which the 1871 census reveals was in Margate, Kent. The admission records for the Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb in Margate, Kent state that that he had 4 siblings and that his father lived at 6 Warwick St, Southsea, and that the reason for being deaf and dumb was that he had measles, cow-pox (chicken) and whooping cough all at once. This obviously conflicts with the story passed down the family, so how much of that is true is uncertain. James was discharged in December 1872 (one year after the death of his father) and he turns up in Brighton for the 1881 census, where he married in 1885. The school at Margate probably had connections to Brighton, in particular the Brighton and Sussex Institution for the Deaf and Dumb. (http://www.childrenshomes.org.uk/BrightonDeaf/.)
