Some biographical and bibliographical notes on amateur contributers to the study of the geology of East Yorkshire.

 Compiled by Mike Horne (2005)

 [ For the purpose of this paper I have defined an amateur as an individual who's study of East Yorkshire geology was for private interest and unpaid. So I have excluded University academics and their research students, and local school teachers who use the area in their teaching. But I have included professionals who began their geological studies as amateurs in Eats Yorkshire. Also this paper ignores those who have collected and studied the rocks and fossils but have not published and research. ]

George Sheppard DSc FGS - brother of Thomas Sheppard. Received BSc degree from University of London in 1914. President of the Hull Geological Society 1935-1936. Worked as a geologist in Canada and later became the State Geologist of the Republic of Equador.  Attended the 75th Anniversary Dinner of the Hull Geological Society. Died in 1965.

 Tom Sheppard - was the curator of Hull Museums.

Thomas Sheppard  FGS, ALS, MSc, FZS, 1876 to 1945.

Editor of the "Naturalist" for 30 years. President of the Yorkshire Geological Society in 1932. Received honorary MSc from University of Leeds in 1915, when he was also President of the Yorkshire Naturalists Union and they celebrated their 50th anniversary.

Lived in Victoria Avenue, Hull, and later at 42 Anlaby Park Road.

He was the oldest child of a large family. He left school at an early age and became a clerk for the North Eastern Railway. He used his free pass to travel at weekends to study the geology of the region. He joined the Hull Geological Society on 19th September 1893, though later claimed to be a founding member. In 1902 Hull City Council bought the museum of the Hull Lit & Phil and Thomas Sheppard became the first curator. Apparently there were two people interviewed and Tom got the job because he promised to keep to a tight budget, a promise he never kept! By the time he retired there were seven museums! His sister Mary Sheppard was a school teacher in Hull and lived to be ??100. His brother George became a professional geologist (q.v.). One of his assistants was Thomas Stainforth also a keen geologist and naturalist. Thomas Stainforth left to teach in Hull; his son Robert Stainforth (q.v.) became an eminent micropalaeontologist working in the oil industry. Tom Sheppard retired in 1941, the Museum in Albion Street was destroyed by bombing on 24th June 1943.

 Brigg boat found in 1905.

He resigned as Secretary of the YNU 1911 and was made an Honorary Life Member [Naturalist for 1912, p30-1] President of the YNU in 1914 and gave his presidential address at the AGM in Leeds. Received honorary MSc from the University of Leeds on July 3rd 1915  along with other officers of the YNU [Naturalist p181].

 Major local geological publications: Geological Rambles in East Yorkshire 1903, Bibliography of Yorkshire Geology 1915, 629pp.

 Tom Sheppard was real "character" I suspect. There seems to be two sides to Tom. He encouraged many young people to take up geology, archaeology and the natural sciences, he was a great poplulariser of science and a prolific writer. He used any opportunity to get the museums, science and his name into the papers. A true polymath but he was never really an expert in any particular field of geology. He encouraged young amateur geologists, giving them advice and  books, and putting them in contact with experts. He had a close relationship with his sister Mary; she said that he relied on her to proof read his early works.

He was infamous as a collector and curator, his visits prompting other curators to lock rarer specimens away. Percy Fry Kendell is said to he greeted Tom at a meeting "Hello Sheppard, how's thieving?". I have heard hints that on occasions he was happy to plagiarise colleagues' work. Rambles certainly includes a map by Crofts and pictures from the Transactions of the HGS and Harker published bibliographies in the Naturalist for several years.

He was a real opportunist: was it a coincidence that he was a Vice President(?) of the Yorkshire Naturalists Union in their 50th Anniversary Year when the University of Leeds gave Honorary Degrees to its Officers or was it really in recognition of the Bibliography? He was President of the Hull Geological Society in their 50th Anniversary year and privately commissioned a celebratory medal with his head on one side and the ammonite Metanrioceras sheppardi on the reverse! There is no mention of the medal in Society records.

In later life he seems to have had financial and drink problems, and there is no mention of his wife and son in publications about him. The destruction of the Albion Street Museum and the loss of the collections seems to have hastened his death. There do not seem to be many obituaries to Sheppard, I wonder if that was just due to the shortage of paper at the end of the war?

 Felix Whitham DSc

Born 23rd September 192?

Became an apprentice in the motor trade and remembers having to chauffeur J W Stather and his wife on quiet afternoons. Became interested in geology but his interest was interrupted by WW2 when he was an engineer in North Africa. Re-entered the motor trade and eventually became General Manager of Kennings in Hull, a major Rover dealership. He resumed his interest in geology, initially concentrating on the Jurassic rocks of South cave and North Newbald, and later developing an interest in the Carstone and Chalk. In 1961 He saw an advert in the (Hull) Daily Mail about the reforming of the Hull Geological Society, which had ceased to hold meetings for 3 years. He joined the Society on 18th October 1961, whilst living at 125 Westlands Road, Hull. He became Treasurer of the Society in 1965. In the 1980s he encouraged members to take part in a Centenary project to log the stratigraphy of the Yorkshire Chalk, which led to his lecture to the Yorkshire Geological Society at the British Geological Survey at Keyworth and the publication of two papers in the Proceedings of the Yorkshire Geological Society in 1991 and 1993. Felix was awarded an Honorary DSc by Hull University in 1992. Has always helped and encouraged you geologists and has published several articles in Humberside Geologist.
