Isaac Pitman
Sir Isaac Pitman (4 January 1813 – 22 January 1897),〔("Pitman, Sir Isaac (1813–1897)" ) by Tony D. Triggs in ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, online edition. Retrieved 12 January 2014.〕 was an English teacher who developed the most widely used system of shorthand, known now as Pitman shorthand. He first proposed this in ''Stenographic Soundhand'' in 1837. He was also the vice president of the Vegetarian Society. Pitman was knighted in 1894.
== Background ==
Pitman was born in Trowbridge, Wiltshire in England. One of his cousins was Abraham Laverton. In 1831 he had five months training at the Training College of the British and Foreign School Society, which was sufficient to qualify him as a teacher. He started teaching at Barton-upon-Humber, Lincolnshire. In 1835 he married a widow, and moved in 1836 to Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire, where he started his own school. In 1839 he moved to Bath, where he opened a small school.
In the 1851 census he appears in Bath aged 38, living with his wife, Mary, aged 58, born in Newark-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire. He married Isabella Masters in 1861, and he appears in the 1871 census, aged 58, with his new wife Isabella, aged 46.
