YORKSHIRE PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY: INDEX OF MEMBERS 1822-1855 (last revised 12/2019)
New members were recorded in each YPS Annual Report. Current members were then listed in full in from 1824 to 1828, then in 1831, 1834, 1837, 1839, 1842,
1844, 1849, 1852 and 1855. The full lists follow the Annual Report for the previous year. NB: after 1828, full lists are not found in loose copies of Annual
Reports held at the YPS Lodge, but only in the bound copies held there, in the YPS archives at the Borthwick Institute, and at York Explore Library and Archives.
Columns 1 and 2 of this index give names, titles, honours, etc., as in the published lists (and occasionally from original minutes).
Columns 3 and 6 have been supplied by the compiler of the index: biographical information from sources below and as shown.
Column 4 gives the member’s address, i.e. city, town or parish from published lists with date of Annual Report, supplemented where known by compiler.
Column 5 gives dates of membership, with year of first listing (with month added for 1822-23 only, from Committee minutes).
G = year by which member has Gone from published lists (which unfortunately do not list members lost through death, removal or resignation), for example:
G 1828 = no longer listed at March 1828; G 1831 = there in March 1828 but not at Apr 1831; G 1834 = there in Apr 1831 but not at Mar 1834, and so on.
