- Q16933338 abstract "The Postgate family is an English family that has been notable in a variety of different fields. It originated in the North York Moors and records go back to land held by Postgates in 1200. Fields and a farm bearing the name still exist. The name is rare outside Yorkshire. The family is probably related collaterally to the Catholic recusant priest and martyr Blessed Nicholas Postgate (1596 or 1597 – 7 August 1679) who was hanged, disembowelled and quartered at York in the aftermath of the Popish Plot. Also to Michael Postgate who founded the Postgate School at Great Ayton where Captain Cook was educated. A USA branch was founded by emigrant William Postgate (1819-1861) whose descendants include John W Postgate (playwright) and Margaret J Postgate (sculptor). This article is otherwise concerned with an English sibling of William, John Postgate (food safety campaigner) (1820–1881), and his descendants. John Postgate was an English surgeon who became Professor of Medical Jurisprudence and Toxicology at Queen's College, Birmingham (which later became Birmingham University) and was a leading campaigner against food adulteration.His son John Percival Postgate (1853–1926) was professor of comparative philology at University College, London, then of Latin at the University of Liverpool from 1909 to 1920. He edited the Classical Review and the Classical Quarterly, and published both school textbooks and editions of Latin poetry. He married Edith Allen, and they had six children.John Percival Postgate's daughter Margaret (1893–1980) became Margaret Cole on her marriage in 1918 to the well known socialist economist and writer G.D.H. Cole. They wrote over 30 detective novels together between 1925 and 1948. She went into London politics and received a DBE. Her brother Raymond Postgate (1896 –1971) was notable as a socialist, journalist and editor, social historian, mystery novelist and gourmet. He founded The Good Food Guide in 1951, which was ahead of its time in being largely based on volunteer reports on restaurants. He married Daisy Lansbury (1892–1971), daughter of, and secretary to, the politician George Lansbury (1859 –1940) who led the Labour Party from 1932 to 1935, and whose biography was among Raymond's books.In the next generation, Raymond's children include the microbiologist John Postgate FRS (born 24 June 1922 - 22 October 2014), Professor of Microbiology at the University of Sussex, who was also known as a writer on, and sometime performer of, jazz. His brother Oliver Postgate (1925 –2008), was an animator, puppeteer and writer, who created television series such as Noggin the Nog, Ivor the Engine, Clangers from the 1950s to the 1980s. Their cousin the actress Dame Angela Lansbury (born 1925) has had a film and stage career spanning over 70 years.Another son of John Percival Postgate was Ormond Oliver Postgate (1905-1989). His son Nicholas Postgate, FBA (born 5 November 1945) is a British academic and Assyriologist. He is Professor of Assyriology at the University of Cambridge and a fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge.".
