Our society was founded in 1969— one of the first family history societies Cheshire AnCestor 1 June 2012 Editorial by Jean Laidlaw First may I thank members who responded to my comments on the reliability of online family trees. Some of these comments appear on the Letters page. Please keep them coming. I have made a few slight alterations in this issue including sections on family history events, family history news and website news rather than combining them in the notice board section. I hope it will be easier to follow. As most of us will testify, we never ‘finish’ family history research. This is now more true than ever as more and more records become available via the internet. It is now possible to find information which previously might have been inaccessible and illustrates that any clue about a person should be followed up, however insignificant it might seem. Some years ago when my father-in-law died, I was given some photographs and a newspaper cutting containing an obituary of his great-uncle John Richard OLIVER who died in Hartlepool in 1916. It mentioned that he was a Member of "James Rewcastle Lodge" I.O.G.T (International Order of Good Templars - a temperance society). I have been looking at the OLIVER family recently and noticing this reference decided to search the internet to see if I could find more information about this aspect of his life. What I found amazed me! His brother Edward OLIVER, who was mentioned in the obituary as a fellow member of the "James Rewcastle Lodge”, was recorded in a book entitled History of Spennymoor by John Reavley published in 1935, which is available online. He is described thus ‘ He rose in the ranks of Good Templary and reached the highest possible post, that of Grand Chief Templar of England.’ I immediately emailed the International Order of Good Templars and within a couple of days I received a reply saying that he had served as Grand Chief Templar from 1923-8 and before that as Grand Secretary of the movement. My father-in-law, who was fond of the odd tipple, had never mentioned this. His great-uncle died when he was thirteen so perhaps he did not know. I think the moral of the tale is check all your information for possible avenues to explore and keep looking. Family history is never finished! Cheshire AnCestor 2 June 2012 Chairman’s Jottings by Alan Bennett Dear All In my last jottings I announced a competition that I set after the death of my great-uncle at the age of 101. Since then his baby sister has passed away leaving just one brother still living at 99 not out. I had a number of people who talked to me about their families but very few actually emailed me with details. The winning entry, however, beat my details by some distance. The winner has reported a family that had 13 children who had a combined age of 815 years. My 12 only reach 741 years. The children of Daniel Massey & Mary Maurice (Morris) Name Baptism Burial Age Date Date Joseph Massey 12 Jul 1759 26 Nov 1843 84 Elizabeth Massey 23 Aug 1761 21 Apr 1832 72 James Massey 22 Dec 1763 18 Oct 1848 84 Samuel Massey 11 May 1766 5 Mar 1840 74 Daniel Massey 16 Oct 1768 25 Jul 1855 87 Mary Massey 16 Mar 1771 1 Nov 1774 3 John Massey 6 Jul 1773 17 Dec 1848 75 Mary Massey 24 May 1776 10 Oct 1862 88 Jane Massey 24 May 1776 16 Jul 1851 77 Ann Massey 25 Oct 1778 25 Nov 1850 73 Richard Massey 24 Jun 1781 21 Feb 1782 0 William Massey 7 Dec 1783 29 Jan 1837 53 Richard Massey 25 Feb 1787 22 Apr 1832 45 815 As promised I have a prize for the winner. I have donated a copy of my favourite genealogy software - The Master Genealogist . Congratulations to Peter Lewis. Cheshire AnCestor 3 June 2012 I would now like to express my sincere thanks to Heather Booth who has now stood down as our committee member responsible for processing new membership applications. She has done a fantastic job while I have been involved with the committee. Thank you Heather. We have been very fortunate to find a replacement in Sue McNulty. Good luck in your new role. Finally, I am sorry to say that this will be my last Chairman’s Jottings. After much soul-searching, I have decided to stand down as Chairman of the society. Over the last year I have found that, for personal reasons, I have not been able to give the role the time it deserves. I will continue to be the webmaster and will therefore still play my part in the running of the society. I will also continue to be one of the trustees for the Mobberley Research Centre. I trust that a replacement Chairman will be found as soon as possible. I hope that I have played my part in the history of the society in that a new website was created and the move of the research centre to Mobberley was achieved. My sincere thanks go to all members of the committee, and to all our members, who have supported me over the last few years. Desperately seeking… Honorary Secretary We need a Secretary who will consider shadowing the present secretary and take up office from the 2012 AGM. Requirements are agenda and minute preparation and room booking for four quarterly meetings a year, maintenance of a committee list, an annual report, completion of the charity report and occasional responses to emails. The tasks are not onerous. Contact Lesley Smetham (see inside front cover of Cheshire AnCestor ) for further details. Cheshire AnCestor 4 June 2012 Mobberley Research Centre by Alan E Jones The Research Centre at Mobberley was formally opened by the Mayor of Cheshire East, Councillor Roger West, on Saturday 4th February. Despite a sudden snowfall just prior to the opening, the event was well supported by other local family and social history groups and by the Mobberley community, including members of the Parish Council and the Mobberley Village Society. L to R: Cllr David Bailey, Parish Council Chairman; the Mayor; Lesley Smetham; Valerie Hess, Cheshire Local History Association; Jonathan Pepler, County Archivist Following the opening speech by the Mayor, a welcome speech was made by the Chairman of Mobberley Parish Council, Councillor David Bailey. Jonathan Pepler, Archivist at the County Record Office, then spoke about the long and successful relationship between the County Record Office and the Family History Society of Cheshire. Finally our chairman, Alan Bennett, thanked local people for their welcome and also thanked the research centre management committee and other volunteers who staff the centre for the excellent work done in the relocation of the facilities to Mobberley. Cheshire AnCestor 5 June 2012 The mayor with the Research Centre Management Committee. L to R: Lesley Smetham, Joan Irving, Kay Brown, Maureen Kitson, Alan Jones The Mayor enjoyed himself and was impressed by the research facilities. Duty volunteers did a quick search and produced a basic ‘family tree’ for the Mayor in just a few minutes. The Mayor and Lesley Smetham chatting to Bryan Goodwin, one of our volunteers. Cheshire AnCestor 6 June 2012 The Computer Room facilities attracted a lot of interest. Many visitors were impressed with our library collection. Some took the opportunity to delve into books of particular interest. Visitors having no Cheshire ancestors were surprised to find that we have resources for areas outside Cheshire. The facility for scanning book pages on our dedicated scanner also attracted attention. Cheshire AnCestor 7 June 2012 In preparation for the opening day display, an impressive large-scale family tree was printed at the Research Centre for Mr Brian Caveney, a lifelong resident of Mobberley, whose ancestors owned the land on which the Rajar was built.

I DEDICATE this GLOSSARY OF Cheshijie Words to my friends in Mid-Cheshire, and believe, with some pleasure, that these Dialectical Fragments of our old County may now have a chance of not vanishing entirely, amid changes which are rapidly sweeping away the past, and in many cases obliterating words for which there is no substitute, or which are often, with us, better expressed by a single word than elsewhere by a sentence. EGERTON LEIGH. M24873 PRELIMINARY OBSERVATIONS ATTACHED TO WILBRAHAM'S "CHESHIRE GLOSSARY." Although a Glossary of the Words peculiar to each County of England seems as reasonable an object of curiosity as its History, Antiquities, Climate, and various Productions, yet it has been generally omitted by those persons who have un- dertaken to write the Histories of our different Counties. Now each of these counties has words, if not exclusively peculiar to that county, yet certainly so to that part of the kingdom where it is situated, and some of those words are highly beautiful and of their and expressive ; many phrases, adages, proverbs are well worth recording, and have occupied the attention and engaged the pens of men distinguished for talents and learning, among whom the name of Ray will naturally occur to every Englishman at all conversant with his mother- tongue, his work on Proverbs and on the different Dialects of England being one of the most popular ones in our PRELIMINARY OBSERVATIONS.

  • DISASTERS and MISFORTUNES: the STORY of JOHN and JANE DANIELL by Martin Taylor
    DISASTERS AND MISFORTUNES: THE STORY OF JOHN AND JANE DANIELL by Martin Taylor Introduction On 17th June 1601 John Daniell, the tenant of Hackney rectory, was found guilty by the Court of Star Chamber of what we would now call forgery and blackmail. He was sentenced to a period in the pillory, a term of imprisonment, and a massive fine which led to the confiscation of his property by the Exchequer. This resulted in a ten year trail of inventories, pleas and petitions which has been used to build a picture of Daniell's house in Hackney - the Parsonage House - and the lives lived in it. Perhaps uniquely for a 17th century resident of Hackney, this evidence also tells us a great deal about John Daniell himself, and his wife Jane - their attitudes, aspirations and failures - and on this part of the site we have tried to piece together the circumstances which led to the DanielIs' move to Hackney, and then to their rapid departure. The records of John's trial in Star Chamber and his later law suit against Ferdinando Heybourne (who subsequently bought the lease of the Rectory) give us a great deal of information. The papers relating to the Star Chamber action in the State Papers series are annotated by him, mostly with rather petulant comments refuting the prosecution case. Moreover, to justify his actions he wrote a narrative of his misfortunes, poignantly entitled 'Danyells Dysasters'.' This gives us a rare insight into the thought processes of an Elizabethan gentleman. Throughout this memoir, Daniell represents himself as an injured party who was 'entrapped by double dealing and powerful adversaries'.' Furthermore, we have a similar recital of the story written by Daniell's wife Jane, entitled 'The Misfortunes of Jane Danyell'.' Autobiographical material relating to an Elizabethan woman is even rarer than such material relating to an Elizabethan man.

  • 2021 Breretons of Bedford
    The Brereton Family of Bedford England Page 1 of 39 THE BRERETON FAMILY OF BEDFORD © copyright - Written and researched by Faye Brereton-Goodwin Brereton, Ontario, Canada email: [email protected]; website: breretonhistory.ca Revised February 2021 The Brereton Family of Bedford England Page 2 of 39 The Brereton Family of Bedford, England Author: Faye Brereton-Goodwin, Ontario, Canada INTRODUCTION I was born in Canada, daughter of Albert (Bert) Lionel Brereton and Mabel Doak. Dad’s paternal grandparents, James Westropp Brereton and Ursula Harnett (along with four children) arrived in Canada from Listowel, Ireland in 1878, after the Captain had been appointed a Dominion Commissioner of Police by Queen Victoria. Dad’s maternal grandparents were Dan Martin of Northern Ireland and Julia Crowley, identified as of the Province of Munster, Ireland. My mother’s great grandparents, both the Willis and Doak families, also immigrated to Canada from Northern Ireland. So, it is little wonder that I went in search of my Irish ancestors. As my great-grandfather Captain James W. Brereton kept a diary and there were family tales and newspaper clippings of Brereton and Handford Halls, I became intrigued with my Irish Brereton ancestors at an early age. I began my journey with the Breretons of Cheshire and I continue to be fascinated with this family who travelled the world, were knighted and held positions of power. Also, as with many Landed Gentry families, their sons went into the clergy (some rising to senior positions), became involved in local politics and certainly there were many in the military throughout the centuries.
