ASHETON TONGE, HONORARY TREASURER. PRINTED FOR THE RECORD SOCIETY OF LANCASHIRE AND CHESHIRE. 1928. PREFACE This volume contains Part I, (A—L) of an Index to the Wills proved, Administrations granted, Inventories filed, and other kindred documents preserved in the Probate Registry at Chester during the years 1811 to 1820, both inclusive. It is, therefore, a continuation of the Index (1801-1810) contained in Volumes 62 and 63 of the Society's publications. As a general rule, the MS. Index at the Registry has been followed, but where further research has revealed inaccuracies, the necessary corrections have been made. Similarly, obscure place-names have been elucidated in several instances by reference to the Wills themselves. An innovation in this Index, simplifying the printing, is that "Infra" Wills (those in which the personalty was under £40) are merely marked with an asterisk at the end of the entry. In the preceding Index, the entire entry was printed in italics. The period covered by the present Index is of special interest in regard to the Wills of the founders of families connected with the new factory-system of industry, which superseded the hand-loom and many other forms of manual production. The initial work of preparing the slips was carried out by Mr. W. H. Price, of 10 Chapel Terrace, Chester. Valuable assistance has been rendered by the President of the vi Preface Society and the Hon. Secretary, who have been good enough to read the proofs throughout, and to advise frequently on matters of difficulty. The Editor also desires to acknowledge the services rendered by his youth­ ful, but enthusiastic assistant, Leonard N. Parkin. The grateful thanks of the Society are due to the Presi­ dent of the Probate, Divorce and Admiralty Division, and also to A. H. Edwards Esq., Registrar of the District Probate Registry at Chester, for enabling the Society to continue the Index to the year 1820. The following explanations of certain technical terms and abbreviations may not be superfluous:— " Infra " Wills—Wills in which the personalty is under £40. Marked here with an asterisk at the end of the entry. Such Wills form a separate series at the Registry. " Supra " Wills—Wills in which the personalty is £40 or more. These are the ordinary entries. Some­ times an " Infra " Will, by subsequent accretions, becomes a " Supra " Will, and is transferred to that series. A. or Admon.—Administration. C. or C's—Codicil or Codicils (a Will being implied). I. or Inv.—Inventory. L. or Ld.—-Limited. T.—Testament (or Will). Tuit. or Tuon.—Tuition. W.—Will. w.—with. For example, A.w.T. means—Administra­ tion with Testament (or Will) annexed; A.w.T. & C. means—Administration with Testament (or Will) and one Codicil annexed. Preface vii *—An asterisk at the end of an entry indicates an " Infra " Will (see " Infra " Wills, above). P.R. followed by the date, signifies that a subsequent grant was made on that date out of the Principal Registry at Somerset House, London; the Will having been originally proved in the Consistory Court at Chester.

  • Electoral Review of Salford City Council
    Electoral review of Salford City Council Response to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England’s consultation on Warding Patterns August 2018 1 1 Executive Summary 1.1 Salford in 2018 has changed dramatically since the city’s previous electoral review of 2002. Salford has seen a turnaround in its fortunes over recent years, reversing decades of population decline and securing high levels of investment. The city is now delivering high levels of growth, in both new housing and new jobs, and is helping to drive forward both Salford’s and the Greater Manchester economies. 1.2 The election of the Greater Manchester Mayor and increased devolution of responsibilities to Greater Manchester, and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, is fundamentally changing the way Salford City Council works in areas of economic development, transport, work and skills, planning, policing and more recently health and social care. 1.3 Salford’s directly elected City Mayor has galvanised the city around eight core priorities – the Great Eight. Delivering against these core priorities will require the sustained commitment and partnership between councillors, partners in the private, public, community and voluntary and social enterprise sectors, and the city’s residents. This is even more the case in the light of ongoing national policy changes, the impending departure of the UK from the EU, and continued austerity in funding for vital local services. The city’s councillors will have an absolutely central role in delivering against these core priorities, working with all our partners and residents to harness the energies and talents of all of the city.

    National Society Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools Report Broadbottom Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School Mottram Road, Broadbottom, Longdendale, Hyde. SK14 6BB Previous SIAS grade: Outstanding Current inspection grade: Outstanding Diocese: Chester Local authority: Tameside Date of inspection: 16 June 2016 Date of last inspection: 5 April 2011 School’s unique reference number: 106227 Headteacher: Esther Bland Inspector’s name and number: Anne B. Woodcock 445 School context The school serves the mixed socio-economic community of Broadbottom in the Longdendale Valley. All of the 108 pupils are of White British heritage. Most live in Broadbottom. The proportion of pupils known to attract the pupil premium grant is average. The school supports an average proportion of children with additional needs. The headteacher became the executive headteacher in September 2014, when she was appointed to lead Mottram Church of England Primary school in the neighbouring village. Her time is split equally between both schools. The distinctiveness and effectiveness of Broadbottom as a Church of England school are outstanding The strong, creative leadership of the headteacher, ably supported by dedicated staff and governors, inspires and drives all aspects of church school improvement. Pupils’ outstanding behaviour and attitudes to life and learning are clearly attributed to the school’s mission statement and their understanding of core Christian values. The explicitly expressed Christian values of forgiveness and love nurture and support all members of the school family. The strong, purposeful and mutually beneficial links with the church make a very significant contribution to the school’s Christian character and to the spiritual growth of pupils and staff.

  • Housing, Credit and Brexit
    Housing, Credit and Brexit Ben Ansell∗ Abstract Dozens of articles have been drafted attempting to explain the narrow vic- tory for the Leave campaign in Britain’s EU referendum in June 2016. Yet, hitherto, and despite a general interest in ‘Left Behind’ commentary, few writ- ers have drawn attention to the connection between the Brexit vote and the distribution of British housing costs. This memo examines the connection be- tween house prices and both aggregate voting during the EU referendum and individual vote intention beforehand. I find a very strong connection at the local authority, ward, and individual level between house prices and support for the Remain campaign, one that even holds up within regions and local authorities. Preliminary analysis suggests that housing values reflect long-run social differences that are just as manifest in attitudes to immigration as Brexit. Local ‘ecologies of unease’ (Reeves and Gimpel, 2012) appear a crucial force behind Brexit. This is a short memo on housing, credit and Brexit to be presented at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, April 2017. ∗Professor of Comparative Democratic Institutions, Nuffield College, University of Oxford. [email protected]. My acknowledgements and thanks go to Jane Gingrich for the provision of local economic and housing data. 1 1 Introduction If there is one saving grace of Brexit for the British higher education system it is a boom of Brexit studies that began pouring forth as the dust settled on June 24th 2016. Most scholars have coalesced around an understanding of Brexit that to some extent mirrors that implicit in Theresa May’s quasi hard Brexit strategy - Brexit was caused by both economic and cultural forces, with opposition to the European Union based on concerns about immigration and of declining cultural and social status rather than economic deprivation or actual migration levels per se (Kaufmann, 2016).

FERGUSSON IRVINE PRINTED AT THE BALLANTYNE PRESS, EDINBURGH 1904 57848^ ENGLISH LOCAL •r. •-a uj ^ PA PREFACE intention of this book is not to present the reader THEwith a dry archaeological account of the history of the township. The aim of the writer has been rather to put together a consecutive account of the descent of the Manor and the history of the Church, the old Nonconformist Chapel, and the Grammar School in a popular way, choosing in the main such incidents in the story of Rivington as illus- trate the manners and customs of our forefathers. To some people an account of this kind makes no appeal, but the writer ventures to hope that there are many who, while not attracted by the minutiae of antiquarian research, are sufficiently interested in a general way in the history of their neighbourhood to follow the story with pleasure. The idea of this book originated with Mr. W. H. Lever. When talking over the history of the countryside, Mr. Lever suggested that the scattered facts known about Rivington should be collected into a consecutive story, and this book is the outcome. It is hardly necessary to add how much the writer owes to Mr. Lever for the great interest he has taken in the work as it progressed, and for his constant encouragement and help, especially in giving full access to the Rivington charters and documents, many of which are dated as early as the thirteenth century.
