Bert Haines’ father William was the landlord of the Star and Garter Hotel in Windsor and was also a well-known local town councillor. After his father died, Bert helped his mother with the running of the hotel. Haines senior and his three brothers were all experienced Thames boatmen, and when he was just nine-years-of-age, Bert coxed for them. A well-known local sportsman, Bert started his apprenticeship with a firm of local boatbuilders and went on to become a prolific sculler in his own right with the Eton Excelsior Rowing Club. Before he went to live in the United States just after World War I, Haines was regarded as the fastest sculler in England over one mile. In America, he succeeded two of his uncles as coach at Harvard, a position he held for 32 years until his retirement in 1952.
Hanes was a member of the Windsor Fire Brigade and was in their team at the firefighting competition at the 1900 Paris Olympics. He saw service in World War I as a squadron sergeant major with the Berkshire Yeomanry in Palestine, Galipoli, the Sinai Peninsula, and Egypt. In 1918 he was awarded the DCM (Distinguished Conduct Medal).
Born in 1810, in Bradford, Yorkshire, to Samuel Hailstone and Ann Hailstone, née Jones. Samuel Hailstone was a notable botanist. By 1837, he was residing in Cambridgeshire, and spent some time as the vicar of Bottisham until 1861. While at Bottisham, he renovated the Bottisham church and established a new one at Lode, and spent much of his personal fortune providing education for both parishes. Hailstone purchased the manor Anglesey Abbey in 1848, and extensively renovated it, adding a servant's wing, converting the ancient monk's room to an entrance hall and planting trees along the drive. It was during his ownership that the manor began to be known as Anglesey Abbey. Several sketches of made by Hailstone still exist. His widow sold the property to the Reverend James George Clark in 1888. Information on his time after leaving his position as vicar of Bottisham is less clear. Hailstone served as the treasurer Widows and Orphans of Clergy Society, Cambridge, from at least 1853-64. While election rolls have him living at Anglesey Abbey in 1870, the census of 1871 has Hailstone living within the boundaries of the parish of St. Mary the Less, Cambridge at 6 Scroope Terrace with his wife, three children and two servants. Cambridge was listed as his residence upon his death on 26th April 1871.
