Cyril Hurcomb, 1st Baron Hurcomb - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cyril William Hurcomb, 1st Baron Hurcomb GCB, KBE (18 February 1883 – 7 August 1975) was a British civil servant.
Hurcomb was Permanent Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Shipping from 1939, and then of its successor the Ministry of War Transport from 1941 until 1947.[1] He was the first chairman of the British Transport Commission between 1948 and 1953. He was also a keen ornithologist and conservationist, and played a key role in the 1954 Protection of Birds Act. He served as chairman of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds' council, as president of the RSPB, and president of the West Midland Bird Club from 1960 to 1975 (when he was succeeded by his son-in-law, Tony Norris). In July 1950 he was elevated to the peerage as Baron Hurcomb, of Campden Hill in the Royal Borough of Kensington.[2] He was also a Grand Officer of the Order of the Crown (Belgium)[3] The BR standard class 7 locomotive number 70001 was named Lord Hurcomb in his honour.
Lord Hurcomb died in August 1975, aged 92, when the barony became extinct.
Cyril William Hurcomb (born 1883) and his wife Dorothy lived in London. Their daughter Pamela Hurcomb was born in Kensington in 1915. Cyril was appointed permanent secretary of the Ministry of Transport in 1927 at the age of 44, and was knighted in 1929. He transferred to the Electricity Commission in 1938. His wife died in 1947. He was created Baron Hurcomb in 1950. He died at Horsham, Sussex at the age of 92 on 7 August 1975, and the barony became extinct. See the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography for his full career, and this photograph of Lord Hurcomb in the Oxfordshire History Centre.
Wife DOROTHY ETHEL BROOKE: Daughter of Alfred, 25 yrs, spinster, (accountant), of parish of St Philip and St James, Oxford,
DORA 1888: Dora Hurcomb died at 32 Warnborough Road at the age of six months on 14 March 1889 and was buried at St Sepulchre’s Cemetery on 19 March (burial recorded in the parish registers of St Giles and Ss Philip & James’s Church).
ELIZA ANN 1840: Registered as Eliza Ann. 1841 - Eliza 7 mths, with parents. 1851 - Elizabeth 10 yrs, with parents. 1861 - Eliza 20 yrs, servant in Dalton household, Hornsey, MDX.
Eliza Ann Hurcomb (born 1840) must have married George Thomas Martin (born c.1821) between 1861 and 1868, but it is hard to find their marriage. They had one child:
George Philip Martin (born in Ramsgate in early 1868 and baptised at St George’s Church there on 18 December).
Eliza and her husband were evidently living in Ramsgate in 1868, but must have returned to Oxford by the beginning of 1871, when Eliza died there:
"Mrs Eliza Martin née Hurcomb died at Observatory Street at the age of 30 on 16 January 1871 and was buried at St Sepulchre’s Cemetery on 20 January (burial recorded in the parish register of St Paul’s Church)."
Her husband is hard to find in the 1871 census, but her son George Philip Martin (3) was living with his Hurcomb grandparents in Plantation Road.
By 1873 her husband also appears to have moved in with his Hurcomb parents-in-law to their new home in east Oxford, as he died there that year:
George Thomas Martin died at 27 Alma Place at the age of 52 on 11 March 1873 and was buried at St Sepulchre’s Cemetery on 15 March (burial recorded in the parish register of St Paul’s Church).
His effects came to under £3,000, and he was described as a gentleman in his probate record. Probate was granted to his brother-in-law William Hurcomb of the same address, who was described as a commercial clerk, and he was buried with his wife in the Hurcomb vault.
Their only son George Philip Martin continued to be cared for by his grandmother, Mrs Hurcomb. He qualified as a second mate in the Merchant navy on 9 December 1887. He remained in that service until at least 1905, qualifying as Master of a Foreign Going Ship on 4 May 1898.

JANE SANDERS 1837:
Her death notice in Jackson’s Oxford Journal read: “Sept. 13, aged 22, after a lingering illness, of consumption, Jane Sanders, eldest daughter of Mr. P. Hurcomb, accountant, 4, Worcester-terrace, in this city.” She was the first to be placed in the family vault, which may explain the larger than usual amount of time (six days) between her death and burial.

PHILLIP abt 1811: He became an Oxford printer. (On 20 August 1832 a Philip Hurcomb was apprenticed to Joseph Munday, printer of Oxford; if this is the same person, he would have been aged 22 when he started his apprenticeship, which was very unusual.) 1835 marriage - by licence, both signed their names, witness John Hurcomb.
Philip Hurcomb and his wife returned to Oxford to have their first baby, who was born less than two months after the wedding, and appear to have stayed in St Michael's parish at first, moving to St Ebbe's Street by the end of 1837. Their eldest son Philip Frank died there at the age of 2½ and was buried at All Saints churchyard on 3 December 1837, just two days before their next child Jane was born.
Philip Hurcomb worked as a printer until 1837, but by the time of the second Philip's birth in mid-1839 he was a publican in St Ebbe's Street, and Robson’s Directory for 1839 confirms the name of his pub as the Three Tuns, which was situated at 15 St Ebbe’s Street and closed in 1910: its site is now the rear entrance of Pembroke College.
In 1840 he was elected Guardian of the Poor for St Ebbe’s parish.
1841 - 30 yrs, victualler, dwelling St Ebbes St., Oxford St Ebbes, with wife and 2 young children.
On 1 January 1851 at a dinner in the Town Hall a toast was raised to Philip Hurcomb, who had three times served the office of Noble Arch (the name given to the head of a lodge) of the Order of Druids (Lodge 39).

Ramsgate, Kent. Died aged 63 yrs.
From 11 June 1859 Hurcomb took out advertisements in Jackson’s Oxford Journal describing himself as an accountant and house agent of 4 Worcester Terrace (the present Richmond Road).
Philip Hurcomb died suddenly in 1873, eight months after his son-in-law George Thomas Martin:
Buried at St Sepulchre’s Cemetery on 15 November (burial recorded in the parish register of St Paul’s Church).
There was an inquest, and his son William, who lived with his parents, said he heard his father trying to unlock the door at midnight on the night of Wednesday 12 November after returning from Oxford (where, according to a neighbour who walked home with him, he had drunk only one pint of beer at the Druids’ Lodge at the Wheatsheaf Inn). William went and opened it, and his father was leaning against the side of the door for support and gasping for breath. He and his mother assisted him to the couch in the back sitting room, and he died five minutes after Dr Mallam arrived. It was concluded that he had died from natural causes. The report added that “the deceased was well known and highly respected by a large circle of friends, and took a lively interest in politics, besides being a zealous guardian of the rights of the Freemen of Oxford.”
