  155. Obituary. Abstract, from obituary, Wigan Observer, 29.01.1921: Death of a former Wigan Contractor Mr. William Winnard: Many old friends will regret to hear of the passing away of Mr. William Winnard, who at one period was one of the best-known builders and contractors in the town and district. Indeed his reputation in this respect was held high in many parts of the country. he died on the12th inst. at Gillmoss House, West Kirby, at the advanced age of 80 years. For some 3 years before his death he was bedfast. The funeral took place at Southport Cemetery, on Monday 17th inst. His father was a well-known stonemason and builder in Wallgate (i.e. one of the main thoroughfares in Wigan) and Pemberton (at that time a village near Wigan) and early in manhood he commenced business on his own account in Wallgate, and was soon engaged on important contracts in the town and further afield. He built St. James Church, Poolstock ( a suburb of Wigan), the church at Mossley Hill, Liverpool, and several churches in Wales and other parts. Water schemes also claimed his attention, besides which he laid the tramways to Hindley and to Pemberton. Also he was interested with Mr. Taylor (a Wigan cotton-mill owner) in the stone quarry at Parbold. Unfortunately, in later years,his business speculations proving unsuccessful, he had some financial straits. He was a man of imposing figure, and a cheery companion, well liked in social circles. His first wife was the sister of the late Mr. George Heaton, architect and engineer of this town, and there are a son and daughter living. Some 15 years ago he married again, and leaves a widow.

  959. Estimate. Estimate: There is a gap in Blackburn parish christening registers is from 1637 to 1651. in Lancashire, christenings between 1638 and 1660 or even later are scanty and irregular. Even before the official "Interregnum" (1649-1660 or so) Ministers of the Church of England were discouraged from performing and recording christening and other Rites of the Church. Thomas's christening record may not therefore correspond well with his year of birth.

  999. WILL. John Foole, husbandman, of Eccleshill (Blackburn Parish), dated May 1631; summary: Consists of 5 pages: cover; will and list of debtors/creditors, 3 pages(wordy); inventory, 1 page. Inventory taken 10th? July 1631 by ? Astley, John Boulton, Robert ?, Richard Morres. Property ("living and tenement") held as granted under the "hand and pease" (obscure) of Nicolas (Grequishand?) given to three sons, George (oldest), Richard and William (youngest), "my natural children"; all minors. Remaining estate divided into 3 parts, wife Alice receiving two parts, one being "the portion of grounde lyeing in Eccleshill by estimation foure acres or thereabouts being part of the tenement of Thomas Baron I give unto Alice my wife all my right, interest and title and by indenture of lease...??may appear. " Executors and guardians of children: Thomas Boulton of ---elle, husb.; Richard Foole of Livesay. Inventory is brief and hard to read; apparently, livestock, oats and barley comprise most of it. Debtors and creditors somewhat confused. Value not deciphered. At the end of the written will the phrase "common law" has been written in another hand. The will is consistent with parish register data re the birth of the children and death of first wife in 1629. Apparently there were no children from the second marriage and perhaps the phrase "common law" refers to this marriage? Possibly Thomas Boulton was an uncle of the children. Richard Fool is probably John's brother. Text of Will: ...Maie the 3rd The ...seaventh yeare of the reigne of our Sovereign Lord King Charles by ye Grace of God of England, Scotland, France and Ireland Defender of Ye faith...1631 In Ye name of God Amen I John Ffoole of Eccleshill in ye County of Lancaster husbandman being in my perfect ...? health and remembrance and (admittinge?) ye ffrayltie of this world and how certain death is to everie man therefore my will and minde is to set in order and dispose of all my estate as followeth: Suprimis, for ye estate that is (?hand a lease?) to and granted under ye (hand Pease?) of Nicolas (Gregishand?) of Clayton, Esqu., as by my lease will appeare I give my whole estate, interest and title after my decease to my three sonnes namely George, Richard and William my natural children.

Also Lancs Examinations 3 James I (1605/06); Wastley vs Rigby, Lancs 76. These documents were very difficult to decipher in the time available. No genealogical information appeared other than the fact that *Geoffrey Wastley, the deponent/appellant in this case or cases, had a brother *Richard Wastley. The Star Chamber case involves an alleged assault that took place in April 1602 against Edward Rigby, to whom Geoffrey Wastleywas a "servant in livery". The other principals in the case were Leonard Standish and Thomas Brooke who appear to be the alleged attackers or instigators of an attack, which may have been made during a trip by Rigby to Ormskirk. STAC...27 states that the three, Rigby, Standish & Crooke "fell to blows". It appears that Geoffrey was accused of being an accomplice in the ambush of Rigby and was acquitted of the charge. The Duchy Examination (1605/6) is less clear and appears to be a civil suit; the same Edward Rigby name occurs but this seems to be a complaint that a Gilbert? Rigby was denied a job as "bailie" (bailiff) at Leyland, due to nefarious means.

The parish register clearly shows it as FLETCHER. 2. After extensive research for alternate explanations, I have concluded that Elizabeth HART was Elizabeth HOWARD, daughter of Robert Howard and Margaret Cave Howard. Since she was not really "of this parish" (Wigan) so would be unknown to the clerk, and did not sign the register, her surname was written as the clerk heard it.
