Records Volume 77: The Letters of Dr John Lingard to Mrs Thomas Lomax (1835-1851)

Published on Jan 1, 2000

The Catholic Record Society

The following collection of letters from John Lingard (1) to Mary Frances Sanders (later Mrs Thomas Lomax) has remained in the possession of her descendants, the Trappes-Lomax family; it has not been used by any previous writer on Lingard. A fuller account of Miss Sanders follows; here it suffices to say that she became a Catholic in 1834, and was in consequence banished from her home and family; she took refuge with a Catholic lady in Lancashire, where she met Lingard. The correspondence (2) began in January 1835; Lingard was then aged 63 and a historian of international reputation; she was a young woman of 20. Despite the difference in ages, their acquaintance soon developed into a close and intimate friendship which continued until Lingard's death.
