The stories passed down through the family were that he had been a Superintendent in the Metropolitan Police Force in London, that he had set up the Police Force in Barbados and that he had married an illegitimate daughter of George IV. ‘Great Uncle Frank’ was in fact Francis Mayall Mallalieu and it has been discovered that there were six of that name over four generations. 1 I would like to thank the people who have helped with this research over many years, in particular Mike Buckley, Linda Cooper and Steve Powell. 27 SHS Bulletin Vol. 43 No. 2 Summer 2013 Francis Mayall Mallalieu 1 The first Francis Mayall Mallalieu (FMM1) was baptised on 31st August 1766 at St.

  • A Is for ASHTON to Paraphrase a Well-Known Saying
    A is for ASHTON To paraphrase a well-known saying: “You can take the girl out of Ashton but you can’t take Ashton out of the girl”. So what is it about a depressed former cotton town in Lancashire that holds a special place in my memory? I was born in Ashton-under-Lyne, went to school there, worked in the Grade II listed public library, fell in love there, several times, but left, aged 21, and never really returned. The cobbled streets, the busy market ground, the distant views of hills and moors and most of all, the people, inhabit a rich store of memories. “Manchester is lovely, the weather’s sometimes fine, I’ve even known the sun to shine in Ashton-Under-Lyne” the old song goes. Perhaps it’s something to do with the climate- the damp air was why cotton mills sprang up there in the first place, and its proximity to rivers and to the sea, via the Manchester Ship Canal. Cotton brought prosperity to the town; some mill-owners, philanthropic men, built solid houses for their workforce, endowed the public library and municipal Baths and created parks. I lived right in the centre of town in the same house my mother had lived in as a child. My early childhood was populated by grandparents, aunties and uncles, cousins, friends and neighbours- a huge extended family. When I was seven years old, in 1954, we moved from our “two up two down” terraced house in Turner Lane, owned by the railway company, to a post- war council house in Waterloo, a mile or so from Ashton town centre.
