Myers, President of the Society since 1967 CONTENTS Page Foreword vii Abbreviations viii Lancashire Wills 1 Cheshire Wills 145 Welsh Wills 188 Index of occupations and miscellaneous items 191 Index of places 198 FOREWORD This is the 19th volume in the series of Indexes of Chester Wills published by the Record Society. It covers the period 1834 to 1837 inclusive. The present list has been prepared from the Diocesan Index now at the Lancashire Record Office. The original wills and administrations are preserved in the respective County Record Offices and the following entries are accordingly arranged under three headings, namely Lancashire, Cheshire and Welsh wills. The Act Books, also at the Lancashire Record Office, and original wills have only been consulted in exceptional circumstances. In general the method adopted for earlier volumes has been continued; the date of probate is restricted to year and month only and codicils are not recorded. The words 'parish of have however been included in this volume. All documents, unless otherwise designated, are wills or administrations with a will attached. 'Infra' wills (those proved in a lower court and filed separately) are indicated by an asterisk at the end of the entry. Wills which have not been found (25 in number) are here printed in italics. A list of the transcriber's abbreviations and indexes of places and occupa­ tions and miscellaneous items are given. Places are located according to the text and refer to the period 1834 to 1837. As will be seen, many of the smaller places are not yet engulfed by the larger towns. Occupations are generally arranged under the name of the product made or handled. Where an operator is common to more than one commodity, attention is drawn to this under the appropriate heading. The number of wills and administrations for the four-year period is 9,095 of which 900, i.e. about 10%, are proved in the 'Infra' court. Of the total number of wills and administrations, 76% refer to Lancashire estates, 23% to Cheshire and only 1% to Welsh ones. Attention is drawn to unusual features relating to wills noted in the Index of Occupations and Miscellaneous Items under 'Wills'. The transcriber is indebted to the staffs of the Lancashire and Cheshire Record Offices and of the National Library of Wales for their helpful assistance. This list of probate records is published with the approval of the Keeper of Public Records. vii ABBREVIATIONS A Administration Bond CO.

  • Early Methodism in and Around Chester, 1749-1812
    EARIvY METHODISM IN AND AROUND CHESTER — Among the many ancient cities in England which interest the traveller, and delight the antiquary, few, if any, can surpass Chester. Its walls, its bridges, its ruined priory, its many churches, its old houses, its almost unique " rows," all arrest and repay attention. The cathedral, though not one of the largest or most magnificent, recalls many names which deserve to be remembered The name of Matthew Henry sheds lustre on the city in which he spent fifteen years of his fruitful ministry ; and a monument has been most properly erected to his honour in one of the public thoroughfares, Methodists, too, equally with Churchmen and Dissenters, have reason to regard Chester with interest, and associate with it some of the most blessed names in their briefer history. ... By John Wesley made the head of a Circuit which reached from Warrington to Shrewsbury, it has the unique distinction of being the only Circuit which John Fletcher was ever appointed to superintend, with his curate and two other preachers to assist him. Probably no other Circuit in the Connexion has produced four preachers who have filled the chair of the Conference. But from Chester came Richard Reece, and John Gaulter, and the late Rev. John Bowers ; and a still greater orator than either, if not the most effective of all who have been raised up among us, Samuel Bradburn.

  • Rural Settlement List 2014
    National Non Domestic Rates RURAL SETTLEMENT LIST 2014 1 1. Background Legislation With effect from 1st April 1998, the Local Government Finance and Rating Act 1997 introduced a scheme of mandatory rate relief for certain kinds of hereditament situated in ‘rural settlements’. A ‘rural settlement’ is defined as a settlement that has a population of not more than 3,000 on 31st December immediately before the chargeable year in question. The Non-Domestic Rating (Rural Settlements) (England) (Amendment) Order 2009 (S.I. 2009/3176) prescribes the following hereditaments as being eligible with effect from 1st April 2010:- Sole food shop within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole general store within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole post office within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole public house within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £12,500; Sole petrol filling station within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £12,500; Section 47 of the Local Government Finance Act 1988 provides that a billing authority may grant discretionary relief for hereditaments to which mandatory relief applies, and additionally to any hereditament within a rural settlement which is used for purposes which are of benefit to the local community. Sections 42A and 42B of Schedule 1 of the Local Government and Rating Act 1997 dictate that each Billing Authority must prepare and maintain a Rural Settlement List, which is to identify any settlements which:- a) Are wholly or partly within the authority’s area; b) Appear to have a population of not more than 3,000 on 31st December immediately before the chargeable financial year in question; and c) Are, in that financial year, wholly or partly, within an area designated for the purpose.

W. Harrison We are most saddened to have to report that one of your committee, Tony Wheeldon, died sudden- ly last week (3 Oct.). This was obviously a great loss to his family, and also to his many friends, all to whom we extend our heart-felt condolences. Tony has been of great help to the Society during his all too short a tenure as committee member, taking on all sorts of tasks, particularly those of a physical nature now becoming beyond the reach of some of us. The Society is in a poorer state for his passing. Your committee is still struggling to operate as well as we would wish through lack of committee members. There just aren’t enough to carry on the business of the Society properly. Recent fall outs from the committee include our hard working publicity officer, Charles Baumann, who has resigned due to family and other commitments however he has intimated that he would be available to help out on occasion subject to his availability from his other extensive interests.
