William Austin FSA (1850-1928) was a founder member of BHRS and its Treasurer until his death. He was a solicitor, clerk to the justices and steward of the manor of Luton. He published papers about Saxon graves in Luton and several books and articles on the history of Luton and the area.Fowler G. Herbert:
Dr G. Herbert Fowler (1861-1940) was a zoologist working in London before he retired to Bedfordshire, where he became a county councillor and chairman of the county’s Records Committee in 1913. He immediately reformed the existing record room, established standard procedures and ran it as a public service, the first in the country. He was a founder member of BHRS in 1912 and its Secretary, General Editor and principal contributor to the annual volumes until his death. He also published extensively on sources in Buckinghamshire and elsewhere.Page-Turner F. A.:
Frederic Augustus Blaydes (1845-1931) (who changed his surname to Page-Turner on inheriting the estate of his uncle) was a founder member of BHRS. He was an antiquarian and best known for his edition for the Harleian Society of The Visitations of Bedfordshire (1884), Bedfordshire Notes and Queries (1882-1893) and Genealogia Bedfordiensis (1890). He was mayor of Bedford twice, a member of several local societies and a benefactor to the County Record Office.
