29 <strong>The</strong> brief facts <strong>of</strong> the Macnaghten/Workman link <strong>are</strong>: Francis Macnaghten<br />
(1763–1843) <strong>of</strong> Bushmills, Co. Antrim, a judge <strong>of</strong> the Supreme Court <strong>of</strong><br />
Madras, assumed the additional surname <strong>of</strong> Workman <strong>by</strong> royal licence in<br />
1809 and was created a baronet in 1836. It is suggested that the name<br />
Workman came from his cousin Caroline’s father Meredyth Workman <strong>of</strong> Co.<br />
Armagh. <strong>The</strong> children <strong>of</strong> Francis Macnaghten, a baronet, demonstrate no<br />
link to Charles Workman, actor from Bootle. On the female line, Roy’s mother<br />
Caroline Josephine Bessel Adams (as her birth was registered), or Caroline<br />
Josephine Russell Adams (at her marriage), or Totie <strong>for</strong> the London Savoy<br />
<strong>The</strong>atre, came from a very humble background. Her father was a baker.<br />
Charles Workman, father <strong>of</strong> C.H. Workman, appears in the 1851 census as<br />
an ironworks labourer.<br />
