The Calvert Family
Frederick's father, Charles Calvert the elder, was born in 1754 and died on 13 June 1797; he is buried in St. Mary's churchyard, Manchester. Charles the elder would live in Oldham Street, Manchester during the winter and at Glossop Hall in the summer. Frederick's father's brother, Raisley Calvert, who died in 1794, was a sculptor, and is well known as the friend and admirer of William Wordsworth, to whom he bequeathed 900 pounds. Raisley had been to Cambridge University with Wordsworth and he looked after Raisley on his deathbed as he died of consumption. Other sons of Charles Calvert the elder and Frederick's uncles were Charles Calvert, Henry Calvert and Michael Pease Calvert, who were all painters. Michael was the youngest of eight children and he was born five months after his father's death in January 1798 in Derbyshire.
- "Calvert! It must not be unheard by them
- Who may respect my name, that I to thee
- Owed many years of early liberty.
- This care was thine when sickness did condemn
- Thy youth to hopeless wasting, root and stem."

Famous quotes containing the word family:
“The family environment in which your children are growing up is different from that in which you grew up. The decisions our parents made and the strategies they used were developed in a different context from what we face today, even if the “content” of the problem is the same. It is a mistake to think that our own experience as children and adolescents will give us all we need to help our children. The rules of the game have changed.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
