History


Stockdale Harrison was born in 1846, the son of William Harrison (1813-1873) timber merchant, and Mary Everard (1820-1869). He was christened on 2 December 1846 in St George’s Church, Leicester.


In 1863 Stockdale Harrison was articled to James Bird of Leicester. In 1868 he moved to become an assistant to George Somers Leigh Clarke of London. On 1 October 1869 he was made a Freeman and Apprentice of Leicester and he set up in private practice, initially in Hotel street and then at 7 St Martins.


He designed churches in the gothic revival style, and was also responsible for domestic architecture in the vernacular revival style mainly in Leicester, but also in other areas of the East Midlands.


He married Marianne Bailey (1847-1923), daughter of James Bailey, on 4 September 1872 at St Paul's Church, Leicester,[1] and their children were:



  • James Stockdale Harrison (1874-1952)

  • Shirley Harrison (1875-1961)

  • Marianne Harrison (1878-1971)

  • Florence Harrison (b. 1878)

  • (Captain) Everard Harrison (1880-1917)

  • Gregory Harrison (1883-1889)

  • Priscilla Harrison (1885-1975)

  • Margaret Harrison (1891)


Stockdale Harrison was joined in business by his sons James (1892) and Shirley (1904), and from 1904 the business operated under the name Stockdale Harrison and Sons.


Stockdale Harrison died on 10 November 1914[2] leaving an estate valued at £22,529 7s 10d[3] (equivalent to £2,123,712 in 2018)[4] and the business continued under the management of his sons James and Shirley.

Run scheduled task as local user group (not BUILTIN)

Image
0 I am trying to run a scheduled task with User Group (not a single user). This is working fine when I in the field "when running a task, use the following user account:" insert BUILTIN User Group (for example: Administrators or Users). But when I try it with the created Local User Group (example: TestGroup) it is not working. The Users in the TestGroup are the same as in the Administrators group. What could be the problem? Are there some restrictions to the Created User Group compared to BUILTINUsers? scheduled-tasks taskscheduler windowstaskschedule share | improve this question asked Nov 15 '18 at 15:36 Far...
