Individual Note:
     Thomas Harrison Collinson was rector of Great Musgrave at one time, so there is a high probablity that he is connected with the Sir Richard Collinson branch. The Harrison name is also a possible connection with ?Warcop Collinsons. Unfortunately he does not appear in the 1871 nor 1881 Census so his parents cannot be traced.

Biographical History

Thomas Harrison Collinson (1865-1942) was born in Windermere on 28 March 1865. He was educated at Worcester College Oxford, gaining an MA in 1890. He was ordained in 1888 to the curacy of Holy Trinity, Kingswinford, and was later rector of Newton Reigny and of Great Musgrave. Collinson wrote poems throughout his life, publishing a number of works, including Lakeland poems and others (1905), A student's love songs (1920), and Poems of life (1930). He retired to Grange-over-Sands in 1927. In the late 1930s, Collinson wished to publish a complete and revised edition of his poetry. In 1937 he deposited manuscript copies of his poems with the John Rylands Library and in Oxford, in an attempt to safeguard the poems from loss before publication. He appointed the Professor of Poetry at Oxford University to be the executor of his will, and requested that his poems should be published. Collinson died on 7 January 1942. A posthumous collection of his poems was published as Poems old and new, selected and edited by Adam Fox (1944). However, this only includes a small proportion of his poems.

Scope and Content

A manuscript of 96 folios of unpublished poems, together with his printed Poems of life (London: St Catherine Press, 1930), with extensive manuscript revisions.

England in 1870. In 1878 de Chair joined the Royal Navy's HMS Britannia; passing out as midshipman in 1880, he joined the HMS Alexandra, flagship in the Mediterranean. In 1882 his six-week captivity by Arabi Pasha brought headlines in England. He was promoted commander in 1897, captain in 1902. At Torwood, Devon, on 21 April 1903 he married Enid Struben.

The highlight of de Chair's naval career came in 1915-16 when, as rear admiral commanding the tenth cruiser squadron, he was responsible for the effective North Sea blockade of Germany. Appointed KBE in 1916, in September next year he took over the third battle squadron and was promoted vice admiral. He was relieved of his command and placed on half pay, after refusing a post on the Board of Admiralty and criticizing the treatment of Lord Jellicoe. In July 1918 de Chair took command of coastguard and reserves and in 1920 was promoted admiral. He was president of the inter-allied commission on enemy warships in 1921-23.

De Chair became governor of New South Wales in October 1923, arriving in Sydney with his wife on 28 February 1924. He quickly formed a close friendship with Nationalist premier Sir George Fuller. The May 1925 election brought to office a Labor government, determined, in the governor's view, on 'radical and far-reaching legislation, which had not been foreshadowed in their election speeches'. He decided 'to aim at a policy of reasonable moderation, but also of caution, before granting really extreme or dangerous demands'.

In September Jack T. Lang asked de Chair to appoint twenty-five new members to the Legislative Council. Initially agreeing only to fifteen, in December the governor capitulated, on condition that the appointments should not be used to abolish the council. Describing his first clash with a governor as 'a most courteous affair', Lang claimed he 'flatly refused to give the undertaking'. By insisting that their correspondence be published de Chair revealed his extensive resistance, thereby entering clearly into the political arena. To the governor's delight the abolition attempt failed. When Lang requested still more appointments, including women, de Chair refused: 'I told him what I thought of him, and the way in which he had deceived me'. Despite a special mission to England by the attorney-general, de Chair remained firm, believing that 'foreign elements were behind the movement to recall the Governor, and wreck the Constitution, and to establish a Communist Government'.

In May 1927, wishing without his cabinet's agreement to call an early election, Lang resigned, was reappointed, selected a new ministry and then obtained a dissolution for an October election. During these events de Chair was secretly advised by Chief Justice Sir Philip Street. Sir Thomas Bavin's subsequent victory ended for de Chair 'two years of most difficult and unpleasant political strife. In getting the Premier to the point of dissolution, I knew I had been skating on very thin ice.'

Invited by Bavin to remain beyond his term of office, de Chair obtained a year's extension from a reluctant Dominions Office. He retired on 8 April 1930 and thereafter lived mainly in London. He was appointed KCMG in 1933. Survived by his wife, two sons (the younger was Somerset Struben de Chair) and daughter, he died at Brighton on 17 August 1958, leaving an estate valued for probate at �1295. His ashes were scattered in the English Channel. His autobiography, The Sea is Strong, was published posthumously in 1961.
