Notes
01 The profile of Pridham in The Advocate, 22 December 1906 [Trove; 29 December 2024], claims that he was born in 1817. He was actually born in 1821. He was a student at Lincoln College, Oxford, at the time of the 1841 Census and was recorded as being 15 years of age. This does not mean that he was some kind of child genius. He would have been 19 at the time, but the 1841 census generally rounded adult ages to a multiple of 5. As he was not yet 20, he was recorded as 15! Curiously, his age was recorded as 81 on his 1898 death certificate, so it would seem that he maintained the fiction of being born in 1817.
