The Blue Plaque

The Martineau Family was a political dynasty from Birmingham, England. Several of them were prominent Unitarians, to the extent that a room in Essex Hall, the headquarters building of the British Unitarians, was named after them.

Mayors of Birmingham

Members included five generations, father to son, of Mayors or Lord Mayors of Birmingham:[1][2]

  • Robert Martineau (1798–1870), Mayor of Birmingham, 1846–47
  • Thomas Martineau (1828–1893), Mayor of Birmingham, 1884–85
  • Ernest Martineau (1861–1952), Lord Mayor of Birmingham, 1912–14
  • Wilfrid Martineau (1889–1964), Lord Mayor of Birmingham, 1940–41
  • Denis Martineau (1920–1999), Lord Mayor of Birmingham, 1986–87

A blue plaque, erected in 2008 by the Birmingham Civic Society, in Birmingham Council House commemorates all five.

Martineau family of Norwich

The Norwich Martineaus were founded by Huguenot immigrants, and were noted in the medical, intellectual and business fields.[3] They were initially Calvinist dissenters, who brought their children up as bilingual in French and English.[4] The founder, Gaston Martineau, was a surgeon in Dieppe, and moved to Norwich after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes of 1685.[5] His grandson David Martineau II (1726–1768) was the third generation of surgeons, and had five sons who made up the male line of Martineaus. By the fourth generation the family was divided into Anglicans and Unitarians.[6]

The eldest of the five sons was Philip Meadows Martineau (1752–1829), surgeon and "one of the most distinguished Lithomists of his day".[7][8] Apprenticed to the surgeon William Donne, who was noted for skill in lithotomy, he became a medical student at a number of universities, then returned in 1777 to become Donne's partner, and carried on his speciality. Henry Southey was his student.[9] He had one daughter. The second son David Martineau (four sons, six daughter) was a dyer who went into the sugar business. The third, Peter Finch Martineau (four sons, two daughter) was a dyer in Norwich. The fourth son, John Martineau of Stamford Hill, had 14 children, including John Martineau the engineer. The fifth son Thomas is mentioned below.[10]

Family of Thomas Martineau

Several of the Martineaus are buried in Key Hill Cemetery, Birmingham, either in the family grave or a separate one.[11]

Thomas Martineau, a manufacturer of textiles, was the fifth son of David Martineau II.[6][12] He was a Unitarian, a deacon of the Octagon Chapel from 1797.[13] He married Elizabeth Rankin (8 October 1772 – 26 August 1848). They lived in Norwich and had eight children.
