  • T He H Eraldand G Enealogist
    A BIBILOGRAPHICAL AND CRITICAL ACCOUNT OF THE THREE EDITIONS OF WATSON’S MEMOIRS OF THE ANCIENT EARLS OF WARREN AND SURREY. _______________ BY JOHN GOUGH NICHOLS, F.S.A. ______________ [Extracted from THE HERALD AND GENEALOGIST.] 1871. WATSON’S EARLS OF WARREN AND SURRY. 193 One of the most remarkable genealogical works produced in England during the last century, both for the purpose and intent of its production and the labor and sumptuousness of its execution, is Watson’s History of the Earls of Warren and Surrey. It is embellished with every illustration, armorial, monumental, and topographical, of which the subject was capable: and further decorated with countless number of ornamental initials and vignettes (generally arabesques of considerable elegance) all impressed from copper plates. The detached engravings, more than fifty in number, are described in the full account which Moule gives of the book in his Bibliotheca Heraldica. pp. 441-445; but it is impossible to estimate the cost which must have been expended on so sumptuous a work. The author, the Rev. John Watson, M.A., F.S.A. had published a History of Halifax (4to. 1775) in which (pp. 523-525) he has given minute details of his own biography down to that period. He was born in 1724 at Lyme cum Hanley, in the parish of Prestbury, Cheshire 1; was elected a Cheshire Fellow of Brazenose 1746; became Perpetual Curate of Ripponden in the parish of Halifax 1754; F.S.A. 1759; Rector of Mouingsby, co. Lincoln, 1766; and Rector of Stockport on the presentation of Sir George Warren, K.B.

    The Leadbeaters: Brief Biographical Information Pedro Oliveira www.cwlworld.info A young Charles W. Leadbeater and his mother, Emma According to archival documents in the United Kingdom, obtained through the National Archives, Familly Tree and Find My Past, Charles Leadbeater was born on 24 June1825 in Manchester, Lancashire, to John Leadbeater, a builder, and Mary Leadbeater. He was baptized on 18 September 1825 at the Church of St. Mary in Manchester. The family lived in Chorlton Row, Manchester. The 1851 Census reports his profession as a Clerk to Railway Contractor. The 1861 Census saw the Leadbeater family living in Kensington, London, again with his profession reported as Railway Contractor Clerk. He died at Rutland Cottage, in 1862 in Hampstead, London. Emma Morgan was born in Liverpool, Lancashire in 1821, to Webster and Mary Morgan, he being a merchant, and resided at Jubilee Street, West Derby. Charles Leadbeater and Emma Morgan were married on 19 May 1853 at St. Jude Church, West Derby, Lancashire. He at that time resided at Stockport, Cheshire, and Emma at Edge Hill, West Derby. His profession was declared in the marriage register once again as a Book-keeper. Copyright © Pedro Oliveira 2019-2021 Emma and Charles Leadbeater had a son, Charles Webster Leadbeater, born on 16 February 1854 at Stockport, Cheshire, and baptized on 19 March 1854. The record of his baptism (reproduced below) includes an interesting information: the parents declared two different addresses – Charles Leadbeater’s address is recorded as Thomson Street and Emma Leadbeater’s address as Greek Street. Current Google maps for Stockport show that both streets are close to each other but but along parallel lines.

  • Sir George Warren, Kb
    THE LAST OF THE WARRENS: SIR GEORGE WARREN, K.B. (1735-1801) Phyllis M. Giles The prime requirement of a landed family was a marriage which would ensure a legitimate male heir. The last two male heads of the Warren family of Stockport and Poynton strove to secure these objectives, yet eventually Sir George Warren's plans were to end in failure: he had no son. In addition to the dynastic problem, the life of the last of the Warrens reminds us of other dimensions to marriage and family obligations: romantic attraction, marital harmony and disharmony, wealth and social status, and the incidence of mortality. All these issues are to be found among the concerns of historians of the eighteenth-century landed family. I Sir George Warren was to be the last male representative of a very ancient line, which had held the manors of Stockport and Poynton in Cheshire, and the Lancashire manor of Woodplumpton, for just over 400 years at his birth. 1 The ancient patrimony had been extended by the marriage of his great-grandfather John Warren to Ann Cooper, heiress of the manor of Goosnargh in Lancashire. Even more recently, his grandfather Edward 'Dinklcy' Warren in 1678 brought the manor of Salesbury and Dinkley and other neighbouring lands in Lancashire into the family, by his marriage with his first wife, the heiress Dorothy Talbot. The family also 48 P. M. Giles owned the Lancashire manors of Over Darwen, Carnforth and Brockholds, together with extensive estates in Lancas­ ter, Overton, Poulton, Heaton, Torrisholmc, Quernmore, Wanton, Pool, Higham, Chipping, Newsham, Gale, Barnsholme, Clayton-en-le-Dale, Livesey, Ribchester, Button and Billington.

  • Roman Remains in the Eastern Part of Cheshire
    ROMAN REMAINS IN THE EASTERN PART OF CHESHIRE. By J. P. Earwaker, Esq., M.A., F.S.A. MABCH 22m>, 1877.) AMONGST the many interesting papers which have been read before this Society, those relating to the Roman remains in the two counties of Lancaster and Chester have occupied a prominent position. It is always a matter of considerable local interest to be able to identify the various sites of Roman occupation in any particular district, and to prove from the few remains which now exist, or have existed within modern times, how the outlying Roman stations were connected together by roads of greater or less importance. Whilst the history of the Romans in the western parts of Cheshire has been well worked out by the late Dr. Robson and Dr. Kendrick of Warrington, and the many Roman remains in the old City of Chester have all been carefully chronicled and described, those in the more eastern parts of the county have scarcely been noticed in any publications. In this paper, therefore, I propose to bring before the Society all the various details, often slight and insignificant in them­ selves, which tend to throw light on the history of the Roman occupation of the eastern parts of Cheshire, so as to place them on permanent record, and to render them generally available to others interested in the same subject. One or two general statements require, however, to be first made. "East Cheshire," one of the Parliamentary divisions of Cheshire, comprehends the extensive Hundred of Macclesfield only, G 82 and is bounded by Lancashire, Yorkshire, Derbyshire, and Staffordshire; and " Mid Cheshire," another Parliamentary division, includes the two Hundreds of Bucklow and North- wich, situated in the middle of the county.
