PREFACE.

The present volume contains abstracts of the Marriage Registers of Alderley, Bosley, Capesthorne, Chelford, Marton, Poynton-cum- Worth, Siddington and Pott Shrigley. It also brings the Marriages at Taxal, down to 1837, as when those Registers were dealt with previously (in Vol I.) they stopped at 181 2. All the above places were anciently Chapelries of the enormous parish of Prestbury and have at one time or another been separated from it, Prestbury parish now retaining only the Chapelries or townships of Kettleshulme, Saltersford, Lyme and Adlington. There are are no old Registers belonging to Adlington. Saltersford Registers are kept at Prestbury and contain no Marriages.

With the Registers given in this volume Macclesfield now remains the only other Chapelry of this enormous parish which has any Marriage Registers not printed. These we hope to deal with in the next volume, after which we hope to continue the Prestbury Marriages from the date (17S9) at which they were discontinued in Vol. IV. Marriages occurring before and after the ratnge-dates of the various Chapelry Registers must be sought for in the Registers of Prestbury, the " Mother Church."

The abstracts here printed are entirely the work of Mr. Leopold Choice.

The thanks of the Subscribers are due to the Incumbents for permission to make and print the abstracts. Their names are mentioned under their respective parishes.

The chief : contractions used are w.=widow or widower ; p.=parish of; /zV.=married by licence.

It should be remembered that previous to 2-752 the year was calculated as beginning on the 25th of March, instead of the 1st of January, so that a marriage tdking place on say 20th February, 1625, would be on that <3ate in 1626,

according to our reckoning ; but as the civil a.nd ecclesiastical year were both used, this is sometimes expressed by 20th Feb., 162*.

In all cases where the marriage is stated tto have taken place by Licence, that fact is recorded, as the searcher thereby knows that further information as to the age, parentage and vocation of the parties is pralnably recover- able from the Allegations in the Archdearxaoiry or other office from which the Licence issued.

After 1753 it is to be assumed that all pastnes not otherwise described are stated to be of the horse parish, and bachelor and spinster respectively.

It might be well to remind the reader thit these printed abstracts of the Registers are not legal "residence." For certificates application must be made to the local clergy. T.M.B. 124, Chancery Lane, London, L. C.

Marriages at Alderley,

1629 to 1837.

Xote.—The Parish of Alderley comprises the Townships of Over Alderley, Nether Alderley and Great Warford. In early times it formed a part of the vast parish of Prestbury, to which it was styled a " Parochial Chapelry " [and therefore probably a part and parcel of the Abbey of St. Werburgh in Chester], but —no record of its dismemberment from the Mother Church exists " Notuia Cestriensis."

The Church, which is situated in Nether Alderley, is dedicated " to St. Mary, but it would appear from the " Institution Book that

it was formerly called St. Laurence, so styled in 1536 when Pech3m held the right of presentation to the living. Amongst the many noted rectors of Alderley may be mentioned

Edward Stanley, whose baptism is recorded in the registers, 21 Feb.. 1779. He was presented by his father, Sir John Stanley, Bart., to the living in 1805, which he held and resided at Alderley until his appointment to the Bishopric of Norwich in 1S37. He was a ready-

writer and his work on British birds is an authority. His second son, Arthur Penrhyn, will be remembered as the much-loved Dean Stanley, of Westminster. The Marriage registers for the period under review number four. Volume I. contains 133I parchment leaves, measuring 16 by 7 inches, bound in leather-covered boards. It records the Baptisms, " Marriages and Burials from 1629 to 1760, and " Banns of Marriage from 1754 to 1761. The volume requires rebinding, otherwise it is in good condition. From the commencement to the year 1732 the entries have been well recorded in Latin and only in a few peaces is the ink at all faded. It will be noticed that during the Common-

wealth a fair number of Civil Marriages is given, but there does not appear to be any note of the appointment of a " Register."

Volume II. is the usual printed form as directed under Lord Hardwicke's Marriage Act of 1754. This register records the Marriages from 1754 to 1806. Volume III. is the usual printed form, as in volume II., and records the Marriages from 1807 to 1S12. Cheshire—V. b

Volume IV. is the usual printed form, as required by the Rose Act, 52 Geo. III., c. 146, and records the Marriages from 1813 to 1837- This Transcript has been made and contributed to this series

by Mr. Leopold Choice, and is now printed by leave of the Rev. Cecil B. Wcli.ind, M.A., rector of Aldeiley.

Marriages at Bosley,

1729 to 1750.

Note.—This ancient chapelry, situated on the border of Cheshire and Staffordshire, was, until about the middle of the last century, a part of the extensive parish of Prestbury. The registers do not commence, however, until the year 172S, with the institution of the Rev. John [or Jonathan] Thornley to the curacy. He signs each page of the register to the year 1764—the year previous to his death. It is stated that until a vicarage could be built for him Thornley lived in the Church tower. The first register records the Baptisms and Burials from 1728 to 1788, and Marriages from 1729 to 1750. The volume consists of 7S paper leaves, measuring 12J by 8 inches, enclosed in eather covered boards, and it requires rebinding. Apart from the usual entries this volume contains much miscellaneous information. Volume II. comprises 29 parchmerjt leaves. 13 of which are blank, enclosed in calf-covered boards. This register records the Baptisms and Burials from 1788 to 1812, and is headed:—'-The Register of the Christenings and Burials at Bosley in the parish of Prestbury and County and Diocese of Chester, commencing January the thirteenth one thousand, seven hundred and eighty-eight." Records of Marriages of Bosley persons other than those given in the following pages must be looked for in the registers of Prestbury. These records have been transcribed by Mr. Leopold Choice, and are now printed by ;Ieave of the Rev. G. E. O'Brien, M.A., vicar of Bosley. Volume I. John Moors, of Wincle, husbandman, & Mary

Marriages at Capesthorne,

1722 to 1747.

Note.—Bishop Gastrell, in his "Notitia Ce-triensis," collected during —his Visitation of the Diocese, " circa " 1720, write; of Capes- thorne : "This is a new Chappell, lately built by John Ward, Esq., who has gi%'en all the Tyths of this Township towards its Augment- ation."

The Chapel was and still is attached to Capesthorne Hall, and was made extra-parochial to the parish church of Prestbury. In 1855 Capesthorne was united to Siddington to form one ecclesiastical parish.

The earliest register is a volume measuring 12.$ by 6£ inches, containing 5S parchment leaves, 35 of which are unused, and 3 paper leaves, enclosed in calf-boards. It records the Baptisms from 1722 to

1812 ; Marriages from 1722 to 1747 and Burials from 1722 to 1S12. The entries in this and the next register refer for the most part to members of the ancient family of Davenport, by whom C?.pe ; thorne was formerly used as a private chapel belonging to the family.

Records of Marriages of Capesthorne persons, other than those recorded in the following pages, must be looked for in the registers of the Mother Church of Prestbury.

This register has been transcribed by Mr. Leopold Choice, with the permission of the Rev. Canon Elstob, M.A.. vicar of Siddington with Capesthorne. Volume I.

Marriages at Chelford,

1674 to 1752.

Note.—In the "Notitia Cestriensis" the chapelry of Chelford is styled " Chelfoi-d -cum- Withington ", " distance 5 miles from the parish church [Prestbury]. Was made parochial in 1674, and the registers " begin in 1679." " Earwaker states that a chapel existed here as early as the 13th century, and the present building was consecrated July 23, 1776, by the name of ' The Chapel of St. John the Evangelist in Chelford.' According to the registers, Chelford comprised the townships of Chelford, Astleand Old Withington, and was dismembered from the Mother Church during the last century. The Church was licensed for Marriages 25 October, 1S58. The registers to the year 1812 comprise—two volumes. In Vol. II. is recorded the following information: "Copy of the list &c, transmitted to the Clerk of the House of Commons, March, 1832.

A list of the Register books in the Chapelry of Chelford, in the parish of Prestbury, and county of Chester.

First Book : —Baptisms commence 26 March, 1679, terminate I December, 1786. Marriages commence 19 June, 1674, terminate 18 August, 1752. Burials commence 19 June, 1674, terminate 1 December, 17S6.

Second Book : —Baptisms and Burials commence in 1787 and terminate in 1S12. Both books are bound—the first in parchment, and the second in leather." These records have been transcribed by Mr. Leopold Choice, and are now printed by leave of the late Rev. C. E. B. Bell, M.A., vicar of

Chelford. On the first page in volume I. is the following memoranda : "Before the disposition to bury at Chelford Chappell was obtained, there was noo Regester booke there of either Baptisms or Buryals. And in severall yearcs before there was not in the Neighbourhood any Generall care taken by parents to have their children Regestered. But now some parents in the Chappellry, observing their fault therein, have decided since the making of this Regester Booke that such of their children |as they themselves know are not in any publeque Regester, might be inserted in this: Which, though it be not Legall, nor [ ] can be any assured widnesse when they were baptised nor can possibly be placed in any good order as they aught : Yet nevertheless for pleasinge of some parrents soo farr (who have keept the times of their childrens' Baptism in their own note

Note.— " Earwaker " states that Marton Chapel was founded about the middle of 14th century by Sir John de Davenport, Kt., and is built of timber and plaster. It so remains to this day, and the recumbent figure of a knight in stone, supposed to represent the founder, still rests in the belfry. " In 1707 it is called a parochial Chapel," and until the last century was a chapelry attached to and part of the vast parish of Prestbury,

from which church it is situate about 6 miles distant. The Episcopal Registers at Chester return the Marton registers as commencing in 1584. This is evidently an error, probably copied from Gastrell's "Notitia Cestriensis," which gives the same date.

The registers under review consist of two volumes. Volume I. contains 69 parchment leaves, measuring 13 by 7 inches, to which is attached one parchment cover. It is in a bad condition and many of the entries are quite lost, owing to damp and course of time. One bright spot in the register is during the incumbency of the Rev. Josiah Lightfoot, who was ejected as a Royalist in 1644. The entries during his time are very neatly made and are quite legible, and he signs his name at the foot of each page. The volume contains the Baptisms, Marriages and Burials from 1563 to 1725. Volume II. consists of 47 parchment leaves, measuring 16 by 9 inches, enclosed in leather-covered boards. It contains the Baptisms and Burials from 1726 to 1S12, and Marriages from 1726 to 1769. Owing to the passing of Lord Hardwicke's Marriage Act in 1754 this last marriage in 1769 was illegal, as Marton Chapel was not licenced for the celebration of Marriages until 16th November, iSSq. These records have been transcribed by Mr. Leopold Choice, and are now printed by leave of the Rev. H. G. Babington, M.A., vicar of Marton. Volume I.

Marriages at Poynton-cum-Worth,

1723 to 1753.

Note.—From the reign of Edward II. Poynton has been favoured with a Chapelry, which, in those early times was connected with the Abbot of St. Werburg in Chester. In the year 1312 the then Lord of Poynton brought an action against the Abbot to procure the advowson of the Chapel, in which case he lost, but the Abbot bound himself and his heirs lo find a chaplain at Poynton for ever. Owing to subsequent neglect to do this the tythes were sequestrated, and the Chapelry became attached to the parish church of Prestbury, some

five miles distant, in which parish it remained until Its partition in 1871. Notwithstanding its antiquity, there appear to be no registers extant befor the year 1723. From that time until 1795 the Christenings were well recorded, and the Marriages to 1753, in a book containing 65 parchment sheets, with six blank leaves at the beginning and the end of the volume, which measures 14 by 8 inches, and is bound in brown leather covers. The entries have been excellently made, but the register requires rebinding. The next register contains the Christenings from 1S13 to 1S26. The Burial register begins in 1841, and that for Marriages in 1859. Other earlier records must be looked for in the registers of the parish church of Prestbury. Included in the Marriages under review will be found the records

of many Marriages solemnized at the old Xorbury Chanel, as it was called, which was about one mile distant from Poynton. and four

miles from the church of Stockport, to which it was attached; it has long since been demolished. For further details concerning Xorbury, see under that heading.

Marriages at Siddington,

1722 to 1783.

Note.—The Church at Siddington, formerly a chapclry to the Mother Church of Presthury, was united with Capcsthorne to form an ecclesiastical parish in 1S55. In connection with the above the following interesting entry

will be found in Volume V of the Prestbury Registers : "November the 2nd, 1748. Memorandum—The Right of Presentation to Syddington Chapell was granted to John Ward, of Capesthorne, esqr., and his heirs by Charles Legh, of Adlington, esqr: and Joseph Ward, Vicar of Prestbury, with the consent of Samuell Lord Bishopp of Chester, and the Governors of Queen Ann's Bounty, upon this express condition that the said John Ward should contribute two hundred pounds for the further augmentation of the salary paid to the said chapell, and that neither he nor his successors should ever present the said person to both the chapells of Syddington and Capesthorne at the same time. Witness my Hand, John Ward, Vicar of Prestbury." The registers date from 1720, although at one time they went

back, so it is stated, to an earlier period. Towards the end of l8tb century Siddington Chapel was broken into and the Communion plate, consisting of silver vessels, and other articles were stolon and carried away. The Church chest containing the above was found

in a field close by. The early registers, so it is said, were burned. In the registers of Marton are several marriage entries of persons who were married at Siddington Chapel. These entries refer to a period prior to that of the Siddington registers as they now exist. Bishop Gastrell, writing of—Siddington, records the registers as beginning in 1721 ; and later "Anno 1721, Licence granted to Bury in ye Chappell Vard but not [in] ye Chappell, and to Baptize

children : the curate to keep a Regester and transmit ye names of persons baptized and buried to Mother Church.'*

The first register now existing comprises 76 paper leaves (14 of which are blank), measuring 19 by 7$ inches, and bound in leather-covered boards with brass clasps. This volume records the

Baptisms from 1720 to 1812 ; Burials from 1724 to 18 12 and Marriages from 1722 to 1783. The marriage at the last-mentioned date was not performed at Siddington but at Prestbury. Marriages

ceased to be celebrated here on the passing of Lord H^rdwicke's Marriage Act and the church was not licenced for this purpose tmtil the year 1883. Records of Marriages other than those given in the following pages must therefore be looked for at Prestbury and Mart on. These particulars have been contributed by Mr. Leopold Choice, and are now printed by leave of the Rev. Canon ElsJlob, M.A., vicar of Siddington with Capesthorne.

Marriages at Pott Shrigley,

1685 to 1751.

Note.— Pott Shrigley takes its name from a combination of two small estates, i.e., Pott and Shrigley, which, in early times, were owned by families bearing these names. Bishop Gastrell, in his " Notitia," states that " Pott Chapel is situated within the Chapelry of Macclesfield," and until the last centuiy Pott formed a part of the vast parish of Prestbury, to which, of course, Macclesfield was also attached. The inhabitants in the wild district above Pott, generally known as the " Highlands of Cheshire," used the Mother Church for Weddings and Burials in preference to the Local Chapel- ries, and many of them do so to this day.

The Church, dedicated to St. Christopher, was founded circa 1490, by Geoffrey Downes, who, by his will, left instructions that the priests appointed should keep " noe Horse, ne Hawke. ne Hound, ne nothing that should destroy or hinder him from the service of God, and if he will not tend his booke, ne writing, ne teaching of children, ne his beades, ne other virtuus occupations, I will that hee be not there."

The earliest register is a thick volume containing 75 parchment leaves that measure 15J by 7| inches. The volume was bound or re-bound in vellum, with brass clasps and corners, at the expense of the Overseers in 1S97. Births and Christenings are recorded from 1619 to 1812, Marriages, 1685 to 1751, and Burials, 16S5 to 1S12. The entries down to the year 1733 have evidently been transcribed from another book or books and are most legible. It is a matter for note that as against the small number of Marriages and Burials (about 200) there are something like 5,000 Christenings. A very small per- centage of these relate to Pott Shrigley inhabitants, but refer to persons from such places as Adlington, Bollington, Kettleshulme, Lyme, Poynton, Rainow, Woodford, Worth and other villages, that might be searched for in vain in the records of the Mother Church of Prestbury.

This transcript has been made by Mr. Leopold Choice, and is now printed by leave of the Rev. C. W. Aslachsen, vicar of Pott Shrigley.

Marriages at Taxal,

1813 to 1837.

Note.—The earlier Marriage Registers of Taxal, 1611 to 1S12. were printed in the first volume of the Cheshire Series in 1909, but since then it has been decided to bring the abstracts down to the commencement of Civil Registration in July, 1837, whenever that is feasible. We therefore append a continuation of Taxal down to that date.

The Marriages hereunder printed are contained in two ordinary volumes of printed forms.

Where not otherwise stated, the parties may be considered to have been of the parish of Taxal. These records have been transcribed by Mr. Leopold Choice, and are printed by leave of theiRev. S. Evans, M.A., rector of Taxal. Volume V.
