BARTON of BARTON St George's Visitation of Lancashire Recorded in 1613 That Edmond Lathom (Father of George Lathom of Huyton A BARTON of BARTON St George’s Visitation of Lancashire recorded in 1613 that Edmond Lathom (father of George Lathom of Huyton and son of Thomas Latham) had been married to ‘Petronill, daughter of George Massy [recte Mascy] of Rixton’.1 Edmund Latham was probably born to Thomas Latham by c. 1441 and married Petronill Massey by 1462.2 According to a ‘Descent of the Mascys of Rixton’,3 George Mascy was a son of Hamon Mascy, third Mascy lord of Rixton. St George showed George Mascy’s wife as ‘Katherine, daughter and heire of Oliver Barton’. This was perhaps Oliver de Barton (born c. 1385), who succeeded his nephew in his estates at Barton (Farndon parish), Cheshire in 1435–6.4 Confusion seems likely, however, since the Mascy and Latham families also had interests in lands at Barton in the Lancashire parish of Eccles. On 6 March 1448 George Mascy was a deforciant (with one Oliver Barton, surely his alleged father–in–law) in the sale for 100 marks of six messuages and 316 acres in Barton, Irlam, Rivington and West Leigh, all in Lancashire.5 Oliver Barton was married to Eleanor, who acted against Edmund Latham and George Mascy in 1473 to regain her third part of 200 acres in Barton.6 On St James Day 1473 the Lancaster plea roll records the claim of ‘Ellen Barton’ to a third of five messuages, 200 acres of land, 6 acres of meadow, 40 acres of wood, 100 acres of moss, and 1000 acres of pasture, which had been her dower. Latham and Mascy claimed that Oliver had never been seized of such an estate.7 On 6 August 1474 there was a writ to the sheriff to take into the king’s hands the lands in question.8 In Lent 1474/5 Ellen continued the claim, but this time against Giles and George Lathum.9 ORIGINS The name Barton means simply 'of the barley croft/enclosure, although Reaney saw it simply as locative , from any one of the many places of that name.10 Despite the well-attested Lancashire connections described, the Cheshire historian Ormerod was clear that Oliver Barton’s main association was with Barton in Cheshire, which was ‘vested at an early period in local lords who assumed the name’. ‘The first of these was [Sir] Patrick de Barton, who married (in temp. Henry III) [1216–1272] Sibilla, daughter of David de Golborne’, lord of neighbouring Golborne David (Handley parish). Ormerod describes a ‘very antient monument existing in Farndon parish church in the mid-seventeenth century, a knight in mail armour, recumbent, his head resting on a lozenge formed cushion, and his feet on a dog, his helmet conical, and his shield emblazoned, a bend cotised, and circumscribed with the words: “Hic jacet Patriceius be Bartun.O’p’eo”’.11 Ormerod cites the family arms as ‘Argent a bend cotised (or double cotised) Sable’. He constructs a pedigree through seven generations from Sir Patrick to Oliver de Barton’s nephew Thomas, who died in 1433–4 and was succeeded by his uncle Oliver. Unfortunately three of these generations are merely Ormerod's supposition.12 Sir Patrick de Barton (temp. Henry III: 1216–1272) and Sibilla de Golborne David de Berton (fl. 1315–18) and Margaret (fl. 1315) David de Barton (fl. 1334–6) In 1334–6 David, son of David de Barton entered into a 100s recognizance with Jerdan, parson of St Peter, Chester.13 ? Patrick de Barton (c. 1337–?c. 1402) In 1384–5 Patrick de Barton, whom Ormerod thought the son of David, entered into several recognizances (with John Wodehouse, dean of St John’s and others) concerning matters which included Barton and Clutton tithes.14 ?David de Barton (c. 1366–after 1433) David de Barton, whom Ormerod took to be the son of Patrick, fl. temp. Henry V and Henry VI (1412– 1 1470).15 ?Oliver de Barton (born c. 1395--6) Ormerod thought that David de Barton was the father of Randle de Barton (who married Alice, heiress of Mathew de Weverham) and of Oliver. Randle died ‘in or before’ 1419/20 and was succeeded by his son and heir Thomas (born c. 1409--1410). Thomas died c. 1435--6 and was succeeded by his uncle Oliver.16 OLIVER AND ELEANOR BARTON Oliver Barton was 40 at the time of his nephew Thomas’ inquisition post mortem in 1435 and was thus born in c. 1395-6. He was certainly a younger brother of Randle de Barton and Ormerod’s pedigree suggests that both were probably sons of David de Barton (c. 1366–after 1433). Oliver Barton was married c. 1406 onwards to Eleanor. Their daughter Katharine was born after c. 1407 . Katharine married George Mascy, perhaps c. 1428, when he first occurs in the records.17 We have seen that Oliver Barton died by 1473, when his widow Eleanor began legal action concerning land which had been her dowry. Eleanor died after 1475. © T.M. Steel (last revised 17/05/10) 2 OTHER DOCUMENTS G. Ormerod, History of the County Palatine & City of Chester (London, 1892), II, pp. 740 & 749* 3 1 R.

  • Cheshire West Labour
    Submission to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England on Warding Arrangements for Cheshire West and Chester Council June 2017 Cheshire West Labour 1. Introduction 1.1 As part of the review being undertaken by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (“the Commission”) into both Council Size and Warding Arrangements within Cheshire West and Chester Council (“the Council”) the Commission has determined, in a letter to the Chief Executive of the Council dated 28th March 2017 to recommend that the number of elected Members should be reduced to 69. 1.2 The Commission published this recommendation following a consultation process. 1.3 This recommendation provides for a Councillor to electorate ration of 1 : 4085 1.4 The next phase of this Review is to determine a pattern of Warding Arrangements. 1.5 This submission is made by Cheshire West Labour comprising the Cheshire West and Chester Labour Group and the Chester West and Chester Local Campaign Forum as part of that determination process. 1.6 This document should be considered alongside the Council Size submission made by Cheshire West Labour in May 2017. 1.7 The intention of this submission is to assist the Commission in reaching its determination on the pattern of Warding Arrangements and the following statutory criteria has been adopted and considered throughout: Delivering electoral equality for local voters. We have sought to ensure that each local councillor represents roughly the same number of people. This provides for a system where every person’s vote achieves the same value. In the context of this submission, as mentioned above, we are seeking to establish an elected member to electorate ratio of 1 : 4085.

  • IV.—Observations Upon the History of One of the Old Cheshire Families. by Sir ORMEROD, in His History of Cheshire, Mentions Gr
    55 IV.—Observations upon the History of one of the old Cheshire Families. By Sir FORTUNATUS DWARRIS, B.A., F.R.S., F.S.A. Read February 24th, March 2nd, and 9th, 1848. ORMEROD, in his History of Cheshire, mentions Grosvenor, Davenport, and Brereton as " three grantees who can be proved by ancient deeds to have existed at or near the Conquest, though unnoticed in Domesday." Of these the family least favoured by fortune in later times (the peerage and the baronetage in the Brereton family having both become extinct, and the heirship in lands and manors in all the principal English lines having descended to females), was, during the earliest centuries after the Conquest, among the most distinguished in the palatinate, and, by its fortunate and splendid marriages, became entitled to prefer for its issue the highest claims, even to ducal and regal descent. This state of the case, and a natural desire to uphold ancient valour and renown against the mere caprices of fortune, renders what can be collected of personal anecdote, local tradition, or the biography of the members of such a family (and not the mere bead-roll of its pedigree which is printed in local histories), a suitable subject of archaeological inquiry, often suggestive of useful topics, and sometimes replete with interesting matter. The Breretons appear to have arrived in England from Normandy with William the Conqueror, under Gilbert or Gislebert de Venables, surnamed Venator (the hunter), afterwards Baron of Kinderton, in the retinue of that grim leader, Hugh Lupus (the wolf), afterwards Earl of Chester.a The names of Venables and of Breton (but not of Brereton) are to be found in the roll of Battle Abbey, a sufficiently cited and very memorable list of the names of Norman barons, knights, and esquires who were present at the battle of Hastings, which was hung up at Battle Abbey, and preserved with religious care by the monks, who had enough to do to pray their founders out of purgatory, and to save the souls of such bloody sinners.

  • Cheshire West and Chester Liberal Democrats
    Cheshire West and Chester Liberal Democrats Cheshire West and Chester Borough Council Ward Review 2017 Submission to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England 1. Background Following the decision to create Cheshire West and Chester Council Borough Council (CWAC) in 2008, the initial elections in that year were held on the simple expediency of electing three councillors per existing Cheshire County Council division. After that the LGBCE initiated an Electoral Review, which resulted in the redrawing of ward boundaries and the creation of single, double and triple member wards to reflect local conditions. These new wards came into effect from the May 2011 elections, and many of the then Liberal Democrat proposals for single member wards were adopted, particularly in the second review stage after the Commission's draft proposals were published. 2. Single versus Multi Member Wards The objective in this review submission is to create, what we believe, to be the fairest method for local people and their communities to be represented by elected councillors with CWAC, given that the area covered by the Council is very diverse from a large cathedral town to the smallest rural hamlet and many variations between. Our observations of the workings of single and multi-member wards in the past six years have found that there are advantages and disadvantages to both levels of representation. It is claimed if, say, a single member ward Councillor, for instance, was ill or away on holiday when a major issue arose in their ward then the ward constituents could potentially lose out. However, to our knowledge this situation has not arisen, with any loss of appropriate representation, across CWAC since the council was created ten years ago.
