Reasons why the image for this memorial was requested

William was a younger brother of my direct descendent, Richard Bishop, who emigrated to Pittsburgh,Pennsylvania, America in 1811. William left his entire estate to Richard’s children in America which included my 3rd great-grandmother, Anna M Bishop Sutton. The text of William’s will was the first confirmation of our English relatives. Several other relatives, Bishops and Greentrees, are buried at the Godalming church cemetery ( St. Peter St Paul, I believe).

William Bishop was the younger brother of my direct ancestor, Richard Bishop, who settled in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA in 1811. William was also a member of the Royal Society in London from 1822 until his death in 1875. His mother was Sarah Greentree originally of Godalming and father was Richard Bishop also baptized at Godalming. The Bishops were corn dealers and flour factors whose origins were the Godalming, Farncomb, High Mill, Frensham areas of Surrey. They later moved into The London’s areas of Southwark and Middlesex in the later 1700s- 1800s as they made their fortunes. William died in 1875 at his home at Chepstow Villas, Kensington/Chelsea at the age of 92 , leaving money to many hospitals and charities in the London area. He left his home and contents with a large endowment to his housekeeper of 30+ years, Leah Sillence, who is buried here with him. The rest of his estate was given to the surviving children of his older brother,Richard, in Pittsburgh,USA.
