Obituary - The Times Wednesday 12 October 1887
The death is announced of Mr. Jospeh Baxendell, F.R.S., of the Observatory, Birkdale, Southport. He was a native of Manchester, and was born in 1815. He educated himself, and early gave himself to the study of natural phenomena and mathematics. In 1858 he was elected a member of the Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society. He contributed a great number of memoirs to the papers of the society and also to the Transactions of the Royal Society. On the Phenomena of Solar Sunspots and Variable Stars he was a recognised authority. In consideration of his scientific attainments he was elected a corresponding member of the Royal Society of Konigsberg, of the Scientific and Literary Academy of Palermo, and of the National Observatories of France, Germany, and Italy. On the death of the Rev. H. H. Jones, in 1859, Mr. Baxendell was appointed astronomer to the Manchester Corporation. Removing to Southport some years later, he superintended for the corporation of that town the erection of meteorological apparatus in the Hesketh Park. He applied himself closely to meteorological science, and proposed the use of storm signals, which have since proved of great benefit to navigation. On this subject he conducted a protracted controversy with Government authorities.Extracts from: Memoir of the late Joseph Baxendell, F.R.S., F.R.A.S. by James Bottomley, D.Sc., Proceedings of the Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society, 4th series, Vol. 1, pp. 28-58:
"He was the son of Thomas Baxendell, an intelligent man, who by his own exertions raised himself from humble life. The family consisted of six sons and two daughters. Of his mother, whose maiden name was Mary Shepley, it is related that she had a strong love of observing the heavenly bodies, knowing well the planets, and many of the principal constellations; to this source probably may be traced Mr. Baxendell’s life-long devotion to astronomy, early impressions giving to the mind, while yet supple and tender, a bent which remains to old age. His early years were spent at his father’s farm at Smedley, but agriculture was not his destiny, and, later on, a churn from the old farm served him as the most suitable round table on which to grind and polish specula for telescopes for himself and some early scientific friends. He was educated by Mr. Whalley, of Cheetham Hill, a man of some scientific attainments. He proved himself a rapid learner, and soon acquired all that his teacher could impart; to a large extent we may consider him as self-taught. If there had been then the opportunities now offered by the city for instruction in experimental science, possibly there might have been developed a capacity for experimental enquiry which would have been serviceable in some branches of his work. He does not seem to have devoted much time to experiment, and he was destined to develop into the accurate observer of phenomena, and the deducer of laws from laborious calculations. From his bent for mathematics, one may reasonably infer that a brilliant mathematician would at this time have found him an apt pupil, and yet again, a possible advantage might not have been without some detriments, and excursions into the domain of pure mathematics would have left less time for astronomy and meteorology. We are liable to imagine that a man who has done well, would have done better under more favorable circumstances in his early career, but this is far from certain, and for one who has won for himself an eminent position with little extraneous assistance, we may with good reason say that it was best as it was. His constitution in early life was delicate, frequent visits to Southport with his mother for the sake of his health led also to a love for a sea-faring life; at first fishing boats gave him an opportunity of gratifying his enthusiasm; afterwards, when about 14 years old, he embarked upon the ship Mary Scott, bound for Valparaiso. This step was taken in the hope that the voyage would invigorate his delicate constitution. Although so young, his excellent seamanship son won the confidence of his Captain. It was his fortune to be a witness of the extraordinary display of meteors in 1833; he was well adapted to be the spectator of such a magnificent scene, being not wholly lost in admiration, but seeking to determine the radiant point from which they diverged. He also, while at sea, experienced the shock of the earthquake of 1835, which was attended with such disastrous results to the Pacific coast of South America. He made several voyages, and when he retired, it was with no disgust of a maritime career, indeed in his old age, he would still speak with enthusiasm of the sea and the sailor’s life.
After returning to Manchester, he was for some time engaged in assisting his father in his business. For some years he resided at Stocks Street, Cheetham, and afterwards at Crescent Road, Cheetham Hill. Here he was not far from the Observatory belonging to his friend Robert Worthington, situated in the pleasant park-like grounds attached to Crumpsall Hall. An accident to his right eye debarred Mr. Worthington from using his own Observatory; Mr. Baxendell had the privilege of using it, and the excellent work done therin, until its removal in 1869, won for it a distinguished place amongst private observatories both in this country and abroad.
Amongst other astronomical friends with whom he corresponded was Mr. Norman Pogson, Government Astronomer of Madras, and this connection became a closer one by the marriage of Mr. Baxendell with Mr. Pogson’s sister Mary Anne in 1865; the issue of the marriage was an only son, Joseph. His quiet orderly life leaves little to be recorded. In his own town he was not widely known, nor did he ever seek to become widely known.; indeed he furnishes a fresh instance of a peculiarity of scientific life in Manchester, that is the seclusion, almost bordering on obscurity, of some of its most eminent men……….
………Personal intercourse with Mr. Baxendell would leave the impression of amiability of disposition, and of a simplicity of character which has often been found associated with scientific eminence………
……..Most of Mr. Baxendell’s papers were in the first instance communicated to this section (the Physical & Mathematical section of the Manchester L.P.S.); the quiet social character of the meetings seemed quite in harmony with his retiring disposition; first there was the half-hour spent in pleasant conversation over tea, and, when the cloth was drawn, the half-dozen members, or thereabout, who ordinarily composed a meeting, would draw up to the green baize table, with the President of the Section at one end, a cheerful fire would give a pleasant glow in the old council room, and four wax candles, if they could not compete with modern methods of illumination, were not without a certain charm, reminding us that we belonged to an old society, and recalling the days of Mainwaring, Massey, Percival, Henry, Dalton and other worthies of the Society………
……..he took a warm interest in the plan of supplying storm warnings, and made vigorous protest when the Board of Trade announced an intention of discontinuing them; he was also anxious to obtain definite information of the influence of meteorological conditions on public health. His warning of the dry summer of 1868 was very serviceable to the Manchester Corporation Water Works in regulating the supply of water. On another occasion his warning at Southport, to take precautionary measures against an epidemic, was followed by an outbreak of small-pox…….
……His activity in the interests of the Society continued until a few years back, when he was afflicted with a disease of the lower jaw, attended with a series of painful abscesses; in addition to which he was at times troubled with a difficulty of breathing. On a partial recovery, he attempted to resume his old regularity of attendance, and would even venture out on cold wintry nights to do so; but his appearance made it painfully evident to a spectator that his constitution was thoroughly undermined. His latest residence was Southport; here he was appointed superintendent of an observatory in Hesketh Park, fitted up and presented by Mr. John Fernley, formerly of Manchester. In his private observatory at Birkdale he resumed his astronomical work, in which he had the valuable assistance of his son, who had the advantage of his father’s training. He was also meteorologist to the Corporation of Southport; he had been since 1859 astronomer to the Corporation of Manchester, succeeding the Rev. H. H. Jones.
He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1858, and a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1884……..
……it may be mentioned that in later life he took an intense interest in the Great Pyramid; he seemed to think that the builders of it were under some kind of inspiration, and that in the dimensions of certain passages and chambers were contained the most recent and accurate measurements made in physical astronomy, and some of those numbers which mark the epochs in religious history….
(there follows details of all the papers presented by Joseph Baxendell to the MLPS)
……Mr Baxendell sought no applause while living; to refrain from adding it now will be to respect a wish, casually expressed about three years ago, that when his time came he should like to slip out of the world as quietly as possible.
The approval of his work, by those who are capable of judging its merits, will supply a testimony to its worth of greater value than any studied eulogy with which the writer of this memoir could conclude his task."

(The Astronomische Nachrichten were first published in 1823 by H. C. Schumacher in Altona, then Professor of Astronomy in Copenhagen. Today Altona is a part of the city of Hamburg but was Danish then. The volumes, beginning with the very first one, have been made available for reference by the Library of the University of Hannover. They contain a lot of biographical information, although it was difficult to extract it from the thousands of pages. The Astronomische Nachrichten are referred to as AN in the text and in the footnotes.)
Baxendell, Joseph (1815 - 1887)
J. Baxendell was born in Manchester on the 19. April 1815. He went to sea and was in the Pacific during the great meteor shower in 1833. Since 1848 he had observed together with R. Worthington at the latters private observatory at Crumpsall Old Hall, near Manchester. This observatory was equipped with a 13 inch reflector and a 5 inch refractor. Baxendell’s interest was on the variable stars of which he discovered 18, including l Tauri, R Lyrae and 30 Herculis. In 1859 Baxendell was appointed Astronomer to the ‘Corporation of Manchester’.
In 1877 he moved to Southport and continued his observations there in a clearer atmosphere with a 6 inch refractor. J. Baxendell died on the 7. October 1887 . He was the brother-in-law of N. R. Pogson. Obituary by T.E. Espin in AN 1887.

Baxendell's nebula NGC 7088 Eagle nebula
NGC 6611 = M 16NGC 7088, (called "Baxendell's unphotographable nebula").
NGC 7088 is faint, large and elongated 2x1 E-W. This star cluster is 26' North of M2. It took a 38mm eyepiece which gives a one degree field to get some contrast surrounding this cluster. It is just a faint glow with some mottled structure and 6 stars superimposed across the face. This object is called Baxendell's Unphotographable Nebula, probably because it could be seen but not photographed with older technology. In the era of long focal ratio scopes and slow emulsions, this was "unphotographable".

"Mr. Baxendell noticed the fact that at the moment of the departure of the sun below the horizon, the last glimpse is coloured bluish green. On two or three occasions I have noticed this, and also near sunset an appearance like what I have rudely depicted. Just at the upper edge, where bands of the sun's disk are separated one after the other by refraction, each band becomes coloured blue just before it vanishes."

"The Earl of Wilton persuaded him (Thomas) to introduce the cotton Trade into Denton, and as an inducement gave the land on which Mr Baxendale built in 1862 the Alpha Mill - so called because it was the first cotton mill in Denton. His generosity to the town, particularly to the United Methodist Church, was great. He formed a brass band at his works, which was known for a time as Baxendale's Band, but afterwards became the Denton Original Band. He built 47 houses opposite his mill, which he named Alpha Terrace."
- Some Denton Worthies in "The History of Denton and Haughton" by Thomas Middleton.The Denton Original Band began its existence in 1859, its promoters receiving the generous support of some of the hat manufacturers and local gentry. The first headquarters were at Baxendale's, at the top of Taylor Lane, but after a short time they were removed to a room behind the Bowling Green Inn......The band has a wonderful record, the crowning triumph coming in London in 1900 when the Denton Band won the thousand guinea cup which was open to Great Britain and the Colonies. There were great rejoicings in Denton when the result of the Crystal Palace contest became known. The magnificent cup was kept at Denton Town Hall and security of 1,000 pounds had to be given for its custody. After this the band ranked with the highest class bands in the country and was in great demand in all parts. During the twentieth century the band has maintained its reputation as one of the leading bands of the Manchester district.
The mill was destroyed by fire on April 22nd 1915, afterwards was converted to a chemical works. On Thursday March 16th 1920 an explosion occurred which blew off the roof and shattered the wall, killing three men. (ibid)
Two humble men, Joseph Robinson of Glossop and Joseph Perry of Hazel Grove, members of the United Free Methodist Church, came to live in Denton; and they started a Sunday School in a cottage behind Alpha Terrace, lent rent free by Mr. Thomas Baxendale. Once a fortnight the Rev. J. Bond, of Manchester, conducted services. In 1866 the Rev. J.G. Hartley of the Stockport circuit began work in Denton. Through the generosity of Mr. T. Baxendale and other friends a school was built in 1867; and the chapel was erected in the following year.(ibid)

Robert was born in Manchester, Lancashire in 1824. The youngest child of Thomas Baxendell (1792-1851) and Mary (nee Shepley). He spent his early years on his father’s farm at Smedley, then at Crumpsall while apprenticed as a Corn Dealer, and by the age of 21, when he married Eliza Hannah Hughes,(the daughter of his neighbouring farmer Daniel Hughes), he had embarked on a career as a Corn Factor. In this enterprise, he was no doubt assisted by his Uncle James Baxendell (1794-1840), who had experience as a corn and flour dealer, and his mother-in-law Elizabeth Hughes, who, on the death of her husband, became a provision dealer and baker, living with her grown, unmarried children, close by in Cheetham Hill.
