Last August Ian Sanderson sent me the following link: http:\/\/www.saturnavineyards.com\/story-warburton-pike. It points to the story of Warburton Pike, a naturalist, author, adventurer, miner and philanthropist who lived on the island of Saturna in British Columbia in the late 19th century. The story is on the website of the Saturna winery.<\/p>\n

I will leave you to follow the link and read the story as you wish. My interest was to discover his ancestry and the reason for his Warburton name.<\/p>\n

The adventurer of the story was born Warburton Mayer Pike on September 25th 1861 in Wareham, Dorset, the middle child of seven from a wealthy mining family. The family had a contract to supply clay to Josiah Wedgewood. Warburton\u2019s father was John William Pike and his middle name of Mayer was his mother\u2019s family name.<\/p>\n

A search of censuses shows he was not the first Warburton Pike. A Warburton Pike was baptised on August 10th 1823 at Church-Knowle in Dorset although his census records, and his burial, on February 3rd 1882 aged 64, suggest he was born in 1817, and spent his adult life in the London area. His parents were William and Anne Pike.<\/p>\n

William Pike married Ann Warburton on August 13th 1803 at Norton in the Moors, Staffordshire. Ann became Anne on her children\u2019s baptisms. Norton in the Moors is only a couple of miles from Burslem where Josiah Wedgwood set up his pottery.
\nSeven children were baptised at Church-Knowle, including 3 on the same day, One of these was John William Pike. So the first Warburton Pike was the uncle of the adventurer.<\/p>\n

Censuses reveal a Laurence Warburton Pike son of William Josh (Joseph) Pike also living in Wareham, His birth was registered in the second quarter of 1849, and his death in the third quarter on 1900 though his age was given as 50. His father was another son of William and Anne nee Warburton.<\/p>\n

Finding Anne\u2019s Warburton forebears is a little more difficult. Anne was probably the Ann baptised on June 26th 1781 at Stoke-on-Trent, the daughter of William and Mary. In turn William married Mary Lees on July 19th 1778 at Whitmore, which is close to Stoke. However there are no baptisms of William in Staffordshire prior to 1760 so he must have moved from elsewhere.<\/p>\n
