  • John Willson of Tattenhall, Cheshire County, England
    ■ Wilson Family History HOME PAGE: http://mineralogicalrecord.com/wilson/family.asp ■ John Willson Of Tattenhall, Cheshire County, England John Willson (1740 - 1816) The earliest definitely known Wilson in our line is John Willson (or Wilson…he signed both ways) of Tattenhall, Cheshire County, England. He is first mentioned on a marriage license [Tattenhall parish records at the Cheshire Record Office, Chester, England] for his marriage to Rebecca Faulkner, daughter of William and Catherine Faulkner, also of Tattenhall, on September 13, 1767. His age on the license is given as 26, and hers as 32. Therefore they must have been born between that date in 1740/1741 and 1734/1735 [actually she was born 11 Aug 1734] respectively. John Willson’s death certificate shows that he was buried on 27 January 1816 at the age of 75 years (suggesting that he was born between ca. 24 January 1740 and 24 January 1741. The overlap of these two age indicators (age at marriage and age at death), presuming they are accurate, allows us to narrow down the possible range of his birth date to between 13 September 1740 and 24 January 1741. Baptismal records (Bishop’s Transcripts) exist only for 1741, not 1740, and do not show hisa birth. Therefore, if he was indeed born in Tattenhall, it was in late 1740. The marriage was by license rather than the more usual publication of “banns” (notices of intended marriage given three times in the parish church of each of the betrothed). Licenses tended to be favored by couples who did not both reside in the same parish, by couples who ■_________________________________________________________________________________________23 ■ by Wendell E.

  • 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.

  • Orton.-Sketch-Of-Tattenhall.-30.8.Pdf
    TATTENHALL. Being a sketch of the Village of that name near CHESTER. Together with some accounts of Historic events relating to the City and County of Chester. From Notes and writings By the Late R.O. ORTON. Foreword. Having found the following notes on Tattenhall’s village and neighbourhood among my late father’s papers, and also that the reading of them considerably interested many friends, I decided, at their request, to place them in book form before the public, hoping they will meet with the same approval by the Tattenhall folk, as they have privately. I would also like to add that in the arranging and compiling of these notes I have been very cheerfully and ably helped by Mr. Alec C. Reid, a very old friend of our family. D. M. O. Bank House. Tattenhall. 29th February, 1908. Introduction to a short sketch of Tattenhall. It has been thought that it would not be uninteresting to the parishioners of Tattenhall, if a few notes were to be published of some of the changes in that time, in its appearance, and on its various inhabitants, their habits, customs, and traditions. It is not intended to write a history of the parish but merely to jot down such notes as may have been culled by the writer from various sources, or may have come down to him, as tradition, from some of the old inhabitants, long since dead. If any apology is needed for the writer venturing to publish this pamphlet, containing such jottings, it may perhaps be found in the fact that in these days of rapid progress, people are apt to forget or neglect the past history of their country, and whilst enjoying the countless privileges which they now have, fail to appreciate the greatness of those privileges, by not comparing them with the few advantages enjoyed by their forefathers.
