Alan I did try to send you an email today to tell you I had posted these articles on here but I don't think the email went grrrr. Sorry for the delay in posting.
I think this article is about the father of the three brothers who played in the cricket match in 1851 at Newthorpe.

NOTTINGHAMSHIRE SUMMER ASSIZES
FRIDAY - (Before Mr. Justice Coleridge)
FIRING PROPERTY AT GREASLEY - Samuel Wilcockson, aged 44, labourer, was charged with feloniously setting fire, on the 8th of May last, to a dwelling-house occupied by Samuel Brown, situate in the parish of Greasley, with intent thereby to injure Gervas Clifton. Mr. Manson prosecuted; and Mr. Macaulay defended. The prosecutor said he was a farmer, and resided at Moorgreen, in the parish of Greasley. He bought three cottages of Earl Stamford, a few months ago; they are situated at Newthorpe, in the same parish. The three cottages are joined together. A field is behind the cottages, and a lane runs by the east end. This is an occupation road, leading from Newthorpe to Beaverlee. There is no path through the field; but there is a gate to it; which is about a yard from the cottages. No one but those occupying the cottages have a right in the field. - Thomas Chambers, constable of Newthorpe, knows the cottages, and in December last made a distress in one of them, that in the cente, occupied then by the prisoner. - Ann Elliott, landlady the Three Tuns, said that, on the Monday night, the 7th of May, the prisoner went to her husband's house, about ten o'clock, and staid three hours. When he went away, he was rather in liquor, but not drunk; previous to going he asked witness for a box of matches "to light him to bed." Witness sold him a box. The night was moonlight. The house kept by witness and her husband is situate outside Newthorpe, where they have resided a year and a half, during which time she has never once been in the village. - Oliver Leaver said; I was at James Jowett's public house, the White Bull, on the Monday night, and left there at one o'clock the next morning. Charles Shaw and Thos. Cooper were with me. I live at Beaverlee; and on going along the lane towards home, was accompanied by Cooper, to within a hundred yards of the thatched buildings. Upon reaching those buildings, saw a person standing near the gate; he was a stout short man. He walked towards Beaverlee a few paces. I supposed it was the prisoner. I followed him, when he set off running; having run a hundred yards, he went into an entry between some buildings, down which I followed him, and found it was the prisoner he was standing in a garden. I then left him; and upon reaching home again saw the prisoner; he was going towards Clarkson's house. Having entered my own house for a minute or two, I returned to the thatched buildings, meeting Hooker Clarke on the way. When about forty yards from the back of the buildings, saw a fire had broken out in the thatch of the centre house. The eaves are six or seven feet from the ground. I reached to it with my hands, and tried to put it out, but could not; I than gave an alarm, assistance came, and the fire was put out, about half a yard of the thatch being burnt. - Joseph Ligo, constable of Brinsley, assisted by Chambers, apprehended the prisoner on the Wednesday after the fire. Took him on the way to the jail past the cottages of Gervas Clifton. On reaching the gate, prisoner said, "Oliver says he saw me get over this gate; he couldn't have seen me if he had been fifteen yards off, down the lane; " and then asked witness if he thought he could. Witness thought he could, but said nothing in reply. Prisoner then added, "I was against the gate, looking for my son. I went towards Wapping, and spoke to Oliver. Then I went to Clarkson's and all was still. I then returned towards the cottages, and spoke to Hooker Clark. Then I went home." - Hooker Clark, collier, of Newthorpe, assisted to put out the fire, and had previously seen the prisoner near the place. - Saml. Brown, labourer, occupies the thatched cottage at Newthorpe, which was set fire to, and rents it of Gervas Clifton; he succeeded the prisoner as tenant, whose goods were distrained. The fire made a hole through the roof; into the pantry; it could not have been caused from within, as there had been nothing to cause it. - Robert Crich, collier, residing at Beaverlee, knows the prisoner, and a few weeks before the fire heard him speak many times of Gervas Clifton, the prosecutor, saying that he should never live to enjoy his property; and the house from which he had been ejected should not be occupied by any other man, for whoever came to take possession, he would blow his brains out. - Abraham Woolley, framework-knitter, of Newthorpe, before the fire heard prisoner complain that the Clifton family had bought the cottage over his head, and had not paid him for the fixtures. Another time, the morning after some windows had been broken in the cottages, heard prisoner say, "There would have been a market on the buildings also, but I would not allow it." The word market, as used in this sense in witness's locality, implies some damage. Witness and the prisoner both worked in the same shop. - William Morley, framework-knitter of Beaverlee, often beard the prisoner complain before the fire, how badly he had been used by the Clifton family. On one occasion he said he should not be surprised if there was a "bonny blaze" somenight. - Joseph Rowley occupied one of the cottages, adjoining that set on fire, and sometimes "shaved the prisoner, and any one else occasionally." At one time, whilst shaving him, he said to witness, "I should like you to leave this house before I am discharged. I'll take good care this place is laid in ruins; it shall never do the Cliftons any good." Witness's boy was also present. Witness at that time was under-tennant to the prisoner. - Samuel Brown, recalled, said the cottages on each side him were both occupied on the night of the fire, and several persons were sleeping in them at the time of ignition. - Mr. Macaulay ably addressed the jury in favour of the prisoner, principally dwelling upon the circumstantial nature of the evidence. He then produced a number of witnesses, who gave prisoner a good character, but admitted that he was "rather a bouncing man in his discourse." His disposition, they said, was good, and he would be one of the last in the world to do a malicious act. His Lordship having summed up, the jury retired, and after an hour's consultation, found the prisoner Guilty. - His Lordship, in passing sentence, said this was the most serious offence he had tried this assizes; and as the facts now appeared, if the indictment had been framed differently, it would have been his melancholy duty to pass sentence of death upon the prisoner. To be transported for fifteen years.

CRICKET
NEWTHORPE V. KIMBERLEY- A match at cricket was played at Newthorpe on Monday, the 6th instant, between eleven of Newthorpe and the same number from Kimberley, for the championship. The contest came off on the Mount Pleasant Cricket Ground, belonging to Mr. W. Ball, the White Bull, Newthorpe. About 400 people were present to witness the contest. Newthorpe won the toss and so first handled the timber, some excellent play being shown by Messrs. W. Jackson, S.W. Wilcockson, and R.W. Wilcockson. The Kimberley bowling was excellent; and the style in which the whole of the Newthorpe players handled their bats surprised not only their opponents but also their own townsmen. The game was concluded at five o'clock, when the stumps were drawn. The Newthorpe players partook of an excellent supper, provided by Mr. W. Ball, at the White Bull, and the evening was spent in harmony. Score :-

The loss of this estimable member and minister of the Society of Friends will be greatly felt, not only in the circle of his family connexions, but by all classes of persons in the surrounding neigbourhood of his hospitable dwelling, to whom he was ever ready, both in purse and person, to administer, as occasion served, either advice or substantial assistance.

There is nothing to convey that special feeling when you actually hold in your hand something you know was of someone on your tree, so even though I transcribe the information contained I would recommend that if you get the chance go and hold this single piece of paper - that was so important to them, even the feel of the paper is different though I suppose handling should be kept to a minimum and marvel at how it has survived. We may see digital images of documents online, for which I am greatful, but something has been lost in the process. & used in the following indicates a symbol used in the text to convey "and" - I love the way they abbreviated.

In 1797 Sarah would have been 16.
(clue from the pink book, that she married Cuthbert Meadows)

Cuthbert Meadows of Preston in the parish of Preston currier, widow and Sarah Wilcockson of this town and parish, spinster married by licence
witnesses
Samuel Dean
Elizabeth Dodgson
Sarah would have been 30 at the time of this marriage.
The family of Cuthbert Meadows
This may or may not be the Cuthbert Meadows that Sarah married, but we do know he was a currier, had been married before and in 1811 was living in Preston.
from UK Register of duties paid for apprentices Indentures (ancestry)
Robt Park, Preston currier paid for two apprentices Cuthbert Meadows and Heny Almond on Monday 27 Aug 1804. But from the Lancaster Gazette April 12 1806 Robert Park currier of Preston appears to be ceasing business. Now the Satterthwaite family in Preston were involved in the currier business.

St Leonard, Walton le Dale

16 April 1807
marriage of Cuthbert Meadows and Mary King
Preston St John
1 May 1808 born 14 Mar. Thomas Meadows
son of Cuthbert Meadows and Mary
20 Aug 1809 born 25 Jun. Ellen Meadows
dau. of Cuthbert Meadows and Mary
St Leonard, Walton le Dale
burial July 15 1810 Mary daughter of Cuthbert and Mary Meadows
burial 30 Dec 1810 Mary Meadows wife of Cuthbert Meadows
If this is the correct family it would seem Sarah became stepmother to Thomas age 3 and Ellen age 2.
Thomas Meadows born Preston can be found on the census but there is nothing to suggest contact. Also the children may have been taken by the mothers family.
I have not found out when Cuthbert Meadows died, but from Sarah's next marriage he must have died before March 1818.
The pink book says there was no issue from this marriage.
..................................................................................
Sarah then turns up in BLACKBURN.
(I can't find the reference for this but I think Sarah Meadows and Thomas Brown both appeared in a Blackburn directory, so she was living in Blackburn before she married Thomas - did she move to Blackburn with Cuthbert? did she move there after Cuthbert's death? (found it - on ancestry : The Commercial directory 1816-1817 Blackburn - Flour & dealers Thomas Brown Darwen street, Sarah Meadows Church street, under Grocers Thomas Brown Darwen street and under Confectioners Sarah Meadows) and there is a mystery about J. Wilcockson, Blackburn - could this be James or John was this one of her brothers?

Sarah would have been 37 at the time of this marriage.
The family of Thomas Brown.
So again Sarah was marrying a widow.
From census images later, Sarah's daughter had a Brown neice living with her which suggested she had a brother or half brother. Also all these Brown children were baptized at the same chapel.

(all these were the children of Thomas and Hannah)
Betty Brown c. 27 Dec 1821 BORN ?Sep 1818
Lancs OPC has parents Thomas and Hannah
but looking at the image it looks more like Thomas and Sarah. The day given as 5th on Lancs OPC, off the image could be 18 or 16 or 6 or 5.
As Thomas and Sarah married March 1818, it looks like Sarah was expecting when she married or else Betty was premature. Also the late christening.
(In the Quaker records there are often recorded the children of parents not in membership or unity, I haven't figured out yet why some children are thus recorded and others not. It also confuses me as to why some people are buried in Quaker grounds when they are not in unity.)
Sarah Brown c. 18 Jul 1822 b. 7 Mar 1822, Blackburn, Thomas and Sarah
Sarah was age 41 when she had daughter Sarah.
Sarah's father David was still alive.
So from the point of view of Wilcockson research the two we are interested in are Betty (Elizabeth) and Sarah. This fits in with information from the pink book.
I have not found a suitable death for Thomas Brown husband of Sarah.
Preston Chronicle
Feb 20 1841
On Saturday last, at Calder-bridge, near Garstang, Mrs Sarah Brown, widow of the late Mr. Thomas Brown, of Blackburn, and second daughter of the late Mr. David Wilcockson, of this town, in the 61st year of her age.
(so we know neither Sarah nor Thomas will be on the 1841 census)
Note to self about Garstang. There seems to have been a group of Quakers settling in Garstang, I read in one book that it was not as developed there as the nearby Preston and Lancaster and kept more old fashioned. Need to look at Quakers living in Garstang in 1841 census. Think maybe sister Mary married to Richard Jackson????)

Thomas Nuttall
There is quite a bit of information online about this Thomas Nuttall. If he had married and had children Francis Dixon would not have inherited Nutgrove hall. Thomas Nuttall's obit in The Settle Chronicle and North Ribblesdale Advertiser Jan 1 1861 is online at www.longpreston heritage.org.uk , (where information was supplied by Thomas Nuttall's nephew Mr T J Booth. Thomas b. 1786 of humble parentage, Long Preston, Craven, West Yorkshire. His father died when he was 12, the family nearly in poverty. He had two younger sisters. At 14 indentured for 7 years to book-printing paternal uncle Jonas Nuttall Esq of Liverpool. He became interested in science largely self-taught specifically botany. He went to the USA in 1808) more information on his exploits in America can be found online, www.encyclopedia of arkansas.net where we are told Thomas's parents were James Nuttall and Margaret Hardacre Jan 5 1786, he had sisters Susan (Susannah) and Elizabeth. That he never married and had no children. On google books we find reference to a book about him - Thomas Nuttall naturalist explorations in America 1808-1841 by Jeannette E. Graustein 1967. He is more remembered in America it seems. He came back to England when he inherited his uncle Jonas's estate (I think because it was a condition that he lived at Nutgrove hall). From encyclopedia.com Thomas was a lecturer in natural history at Harvard for 11 years.
Jonas Nuttall ( think Fisher apprentice came up with idea of selling books in parts so poorer people could buy them, came up with marketing policy still used today - partnership in Liverpool before then was in Blackburn need to look at dates to see - wonder if Isaac Wilcockson knew him? When Jonas retired he moved to Nut Grove and built new house there, married had children? died? built Methodist Chapel there, maybe link to Chapel in Blackburn?? Did the Nuttalls and Browns know one another at Chapel??)
Lancaster Gazette Nov 28 1818
On the 20th inst. aged 55, Mr Francis Dixon, late of the firm of Nuttall, Fisher, and Dixon, Caxton printing-office, Liverpool (grandfather of Francis Dixon who married Elizabeth Brown?)

On the 21st inst. suddenly, at Dublin, in his 31st year, Mr. Richard Dixon, of Burnley, son of the late Mr. Francis Dixon, of the late firm of Nuttall, Fisher, and Dixon of Liverpool. (father of Francis Dixon who married Elizabeth Brown)
Francis Dixon
www.suttonbeauty.org.uk has the history of glassmaking in Sutton. You will find much interesting info including Francis. At one point he became bankrupt - there was an expensive court case but then he started up another business this may have been because he had income from the estate - farm rents and money from mines?? gleaned from newspaper.

(Sarah Wilcockson from Preston MM to Heartshaw 1 Aug 1797, and letter indicating return of certificate on her return to Preston, 16 Jan 1798 FRP18/7/10
Had a look at this at Preston Record Office -
There is nothing to convey that special feeling when you actually hold in your hand something you know was of someone on your tree, so even though I transcribe the information contained I would recommend that if you get the chance go and hold this single piece of paper - that was so important to them, even the feel of the paper is different though I suppose handling should be kept to a minimum and marvel at how it has survived. We may see digital images of documents online, for which I am greatful, but something has been lost in the process. & used in the following indicates a symbol used in the text to convey "and" - I love the way they abbreviated.

Hardshaw - covers Liverpool and Manchester. I have not looked at the actual documents. Now that I have looked at the document it looks like she went to Warrington.
In 1797 Sarah would have been 16.
(clue from the pink book, that she married Cuthbert Meadows)

This may or may not be the Cuthbert Meadows that Sarah married, but we do know he was a currier, had been married before and in 1811 was living in Preston.
from UK Register of duties paid for apprentices Indentures (ancestry)
Robt Park, Preston currier paid for two apprentices Cuthbert Meadows and Heny Almond on Monday 27 Aug 1804. But from the Lancaster Gazette April 12 1806 Robert Park currier of Preston appears to be ceasing business. Now the Satterthwaite family in Preston were involved in the currier business.

If this is the correct family it would seem Sarah became stepmother to Thomas age 3 and Ellen age 2.
Thomas Meadows born Preston can be found on the census but there is nothing to suggest contact. Also the children may have been taken by the mothers family.
I have not found out when Cuthbert Meadows died, but from Sarah's next marriage he must have died before March 1818.
The pink book says there was no issue from this marriage.

Sarah then turns up in BLACKBURN.
(I can't find the reference for this but I think Sarah Meadows and Thomas Brown both appeared in a Blackburn directory, so she was living in Blackburn before she married Thomas - did she move to Blackburn with Cuthbert? did she move there after Cuthbert's death? (found it - on ancestry : The Commercial directory 1816-1817 Blackburn - Flour & dealers Thomas Brown Darwen street, Sarah Meadows Church street, under Grocers Thomas Brown Darwen street and under Confectioners Sarah Meadows) and there is a mystery about J.

but looking at the image it looks more like Thomas and Sarah. The day given as 5th on Lancs OPC, off the image could be 18 or 16 or 6 or 5.

Sarah Brown c. 18 Jul 1822 b. 7 Mar 1822, Blackburn, Thomas and Sarah
Sarah was age 41 when she had daughter Sarah.
Sarah's father David was still alive.
So from the point of view of Wilcockson research the two we are interested in are Betty (Elizabeth) and Sarah. This fits in with information from the pink book.
I have not found a suitable death for Thomas Brown husband of Sarah.

Note to self about Garstang. There seems to have been a group of Quakers settling in Garstang, I read in one book that it was not as developed there as the nearby Preston and Lancaster and kept more old fashioned. Need to look at Quakers living in Garstang in 1841 census. Think maybe sister Mary married to Richard Jackson????)

There is quite a bit of information online about this Thomas Nuttall. If he had married and had children Francis Dixon would not have inherited Nutgrove hall. Thomas Nuttall's obit in The Settle Chronicle and North Ribblesdale Advertiser Jan 1 1861 is online at www.longpreston heritage.org.uk , (where information was supplied by Thomas Nuttall's nephew Mr T J Booth. Thomas b. 1786 of humble parentage, Long Preston, Craven, West Yorkshire. His father died when he was 12, the family nearly in poverty. He had two younger sisters. At 14 indentured for 7 years to book-printing paternal uncle Jonas Nuttall Esq of Liverpool. He became interested in science largely self-taught specifically botany.

He is more remembered in America it seems. He came back to England when he inherited his uncle Jonas's estate (I think because it was a condition that he lived at Nutgrove hall).

When Jonas retired he moved to Nut Grove and built new house there, married had children? died? built Methodist Chapel there, maybe link to Chapel in Blackburn?? Did the Nuttalls and Browns know one another at Chapel??)

On the 20th inst. aged 55, Mr Francis Dixon, late of the firm of Nuttall, Fisher, and Dixon, Caxton printing-office, Liverpool (grandfather of Francis Dixon who married Elizabeth Brown?)
Lancaster Gazette Oct 5 1822
On the 21st inst. suddenly, at Dublin, in his 31st year, Mr. Richard Dixon, of Burnley, son of the late Mr. Francis Dixon, of the late firm of Nuttall, Fisher, and Dixon of Liverpool. (father of Francis Dixon who married Elizabeth Brown)
Francis Dixon
www.suttonbeauty.org.uk has the history of glassmaking in Sutton. You will find much interesting info including Francis. At one point he became bankrupt - there was an expensive court case but then he started up another business this may have been because he had income from the estate - farm rents and money from mines?? gleaned from newspaper.

..........................................................................
What did being a coach proprietor mean? I'd like to think that John Wilcockson was a coach driver dashing along. However, Richard suggested to me that there might have been two John Wilcocksons. John followed his father into the hat industry but then became coach proprietor on the census. Why?
So I have been looking at newspaper references to coach drivers in the Preston newspapers. I think coach drivers were well known characters. From general books I get the impression that they had a bit of the same appeal to boys as the later steam train drivers.
Preston Chronicle Sept 6 1834
On Monday last, aged 5 years and 8 months, Edward, the eldest son of Mr. James Newsham, of Avenham Road, coach proprietor.
and an article in the same paper
MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT - On Saturday morning last, Edward Newsham, a fine boy between five and six years of age, son of Mr. Newsham, coach driver, Avenham-street, was so dreadfully burned by his clothes catching fire, that he died on Monday. The deceased and some other children had got a turnip which they hollowed out as a lantern, and the deceased was carrying it away, having lighted a bit of candle in it, when his clothes took fire. Every possible assistance was given by those in the house, as soon as the accident became known, but the poor little fellow was so dreadfully injured in the neck and body before the flames could be extinguished, that, after two days suffering he expired.
I know this does not prove that our John was a coach driver but it shows a possibility that he might have been. Also so sad about little Edward, there are many articles about children being burnt.
Other articles show the respect accorded to coach drivers.
Preston Chronicle Sept 21 1844
On Saturday last, in the 38th year of his age, after a few days' illness, Mr. Edward Davis, of this town, who was for many years coach driver between Preston and Liverpool, and latterly between Blackburn and Blackpool.

Edward Davis 30 Coach Driver, Dale St father Joshua farmer deceased
Ellen Langton 30 of Fishergate father James tallow chandler deceased
witnesses : John Hull, Matilda Wilcockson, Sarah Wilcockson
Matilda was married to the mysterious William, and she was definitely known to our John although we have not yet worked out the relationship. Sarah probably her daughter.

THUNDER-STORM
PRESTON- Notwithstanding the violence of the storm, and the terrific character of the thunder and lightning which occurred yesterday week, we have not heard of any very serious result in this town. Between eight and nine o'clock in the evening, the house of Mr. John Wilcockson, coach proprietor, of Peel-hall Farm, near the House of Recovery, was struck by the electric fluid. It entered the chimney, and then forced its way through the wall into a ground floor apartment, where it tore the mantle-piece from the wall, shattered the chimney ornaments, and caused some other trifling damage. The kitchen door being fortunately open, the destructive element passed out through it without doing further injury. Mrs. Wilcockson and her niece were in the kitchen at the time the lightning passed through, but it providentially passed between them.

The mysterious death in Severn Street
Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Hawkes (coroner) held on adjourned inquest, at his court, Moor Street, on the body of a man who died at 15, Severn Street - a house of ill fame - on the 2nd inst. under somewhat mysterious circumstances - Since the adjournment of the inquest the police had succeeded in obtaining information as to the identity of the deceased. Mr. Crockford watched the case on behalf of deceased's relatives, and Mr. Cheston appeared of the persons who lived at the house in Severn Street. - Mr. William Edward Ord, 33, Bariston Street, Preston, stated that the deceased was his brother; his name was John Henry Ord, and he was thirty-two years of age. Deceased was a single man, and up to 1874 he was in the leather trade. Deceased's friends had not heard much of him lately. They knew that he had a house at Norwood for some time, and also that he had been living at Circus Road, St John's Wood, London. Witness had not seen him since August last, when he met him at his sister's, near Bradford. From that time he heard nothing about him except through his solicitors. Deceased had £250, a year coming in, and witness knew that he drew £500 7s from the bank in September. Since last March he had had a lot of money, and had regularly broken loose, living an indolent life. - Mr. O.W.Barratt, surgeon, Holloway Head, stated that he was called to see the deceased about eight o'clock on the evening of the 30th of October. He found deceased in bed, and there were two young women and two elderly women in the room with him. He found that deceased was suffering from delirium tremens and bronchitis. Deceased was tipsy, and witness prescribed for him. Witness told the women to give deceased the medicine, and to apply poultices to his back and chest. Witness told them to be sure and not give him any ale, wine, or spirits. One of the women told witness that deceased had arrived from a long journey that day, and had gone to bed immediately. Witness saw deceased next morning, when he was in a more intelligent mood. Witness told deceased that his life was in peril. He asked him his name, and deceased replied that he did not want his friends to know where he was. It would have been imprudent to have removed deceased. The women suggested that he should be removed to the hospital, but deceased said that he was being well cared for, and did not desire to be moved. In reply to the Coroner, the witness said that he considered the women in the house were perfectly competent to nurse the man. Witness was fetched about six o'clock on the Sunday evening and Dr. Simons was also fetched to attend deceased, but their aid was unavailing. Deceased died on the Sunday evening. The following morning Miss Johnson, the keeper of the house, came to witness's surgery for a certificate. - The Coroner: Did it not occur to you, knowing this man had died in a house of this kind, to give notice to the coroner or police? - Witness: No: I did not see the slightest reason for it. - Mr. S. Gamgee deposed to having made a post morten examination of the body. There were no external marks of violence. The liver afforded evidence of a long couse of intemperance. Death was due to inflammation of the lungs, accelerated by the condition of the liver. - Elizabeth Weaver, 6 house, 4 Court, Fordrough Street, who kept house in Severn Street for Miss Johnson when the latter was away, was examined concerning the time when the deceased came to the house with the girl Nelly Howe. - Inspector Willis stated that he stopped the funeral of the deceased on the 5th inst, and, in company with Superintendent Black, visited the house. As the deceased could not be identified they had the face photographed as the body lay in the coffin. Witness further stated that on searching the house they found 47 empty champagne bottles and 4 1/2 full, a large number of empty brandy bottles and some soda-water bottles. On searching deceased's clothes they found £2 6s 9 1/2d in money, his scarf-pin and a gold watch and chain, and several other things.- The Coroner remarked that the fact of the death of the man occurring under such circumstances, as shown by the evidence, shortly after his arrival at a house of the character the one in question was known to be, and coupled with the fact that no information of such a death was given to the police authorities, so that they might make enquiries as to identify, the hurried manner in which the certificate of death was obtained, and the early time fixed for the funeral, furnished such a combination of facts that he at once thought it his duty to investigate them, and the result was that the body was removed and came into his custody. Then what had taken place, and the enquiries of Superintendent Black and Inspector Willis, had brought the evidence they had before them. After reviewing the evidence of Sarah Johnson, given last week, the Coroner pointed out to the jury that it was for them to as certain whether any persons had acted wilfully and negligently, so as to affect the deceased's life. - The jury, after a short adjournment, returned a verdict, "That the deceased had died from acute inflammation of the lungs."

There is a very interesting article about Rudolf Ord online : Despatch Issue 8, Nov 2011
The Western Front Association
It tells of his WW1 experience and gives some family background information :
"Ord was born to an English father, Clement Ord, and German mother, Johanna Anthes, on 5th July 1888 in Reichelsheim-im-Odenwald, Germany. In 1891 Clement returned to England, bringing his family with him and they settled in Bristol where he served as a lecturer in English and German at University College.
Rudolf had four siblings: Evelyn, Mildred, Wilfrid, and Bernhard, the latter of whom is notable as having served as organist and choirmaster of King's College, Cambridge from 1929 to 1957. Described by the College's current incumbent, Stephen Cleobury as 'one of those rare musicians who became a legend in his lifetime' he is lauded not only for his supreme technical skill and musicality, but also for bringing the King's College choir to international prominence through foreign tours, recordings, and radio broadcasts. Rudolf's Uncle, William Edward Ord, as Mayor of Preston from 1906-8 and the first life president of Preston North End Football Club, is also worthy of note."

North End Football club.
The first general meeting of the shareholders of the North End Football Club, Limited, was held in the Lower Crush Room, on Thursday evening. There was a large attendance, the chair being occupied by Mr. Sam Lee, J.P. Among those present were Mr. Sudell, Mr. R.P. Woodhouse, Mr. J.Parker (solicitor), and Mr. C Parker (secretary) - After the notice convening the meeting had been read, Mr. Parker read the report of the provisional directors as follows:- " Preston North End Football Club, Limited. Report of the Provisional Directors to the shareholders assembled in general meeting this 21st day of September 1893. Your directors have taken this earliest opportunity of meeting the shareholders to lay before them the position of the club at the present time, and to afford them the means of placing the conduct of its affairs in the hands of permanent directors and officials. The total number of shares allotted is 1,908, the amount received on applications and allotment is £909 5s. The allotment call on 201 shares is still owing. The receipts of the matches were North End v. Derby County, £119 8s; Southport Central, £15; and Sunderland, £292 17s 8d. The amount realised by the sale of shareholders tickets is £109, which with £2 10s paid in advance of calls makes the total receipts £1,448 0s 8d. The expenditure includes £750 paid on account of the purchase money; match expenses, £21 9s 3d; deputation to Scotland and bonus to Cunningham, £21 14s 6d; players wages, £89 10s and cheque book, 4s 2d; a total of £882 17s 11d, leaving a balance of £565 2s 9d. The £750 above mentioned as paid on account of the purchase money has been applied in payment of the debt due to Everton, £122 14s; players' wages, £420 12s 9d; Fishwick Ramblers, £10 10s; and to Mr. Sudell on account of the amount owing to him, £100; leaving a balance in the bank to the credit of the trustees of this fund of £96 15s 11d. Your directors, are of opinion that efforts should be made to issue 500 additional shares, as with a subscribed capital of £2,500 it is very probable that abother call of 5s per share would amply suffice to carry on the club, leaving a reserve of uncalled capital, of 5s per share. All the provisional directors retire from office at the conclusion of this meeting in conformity with the provisions of the prospectus. The following have qualified and offer themselves for re-election:- James Bowling, F. Coupe, Thomas Cunliffe, J. Brown, W.E.Ord, Charles Parker, and R.P Woodhouse."- The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report, and in doing so said he was well acquainted with the work of the Provisional Committee. The report was an accurate synopsis of the work of the committee, and he was very pleased to see that such good progress had been made. It gave him intense pleasure to move the adoption of the report - Mr. SUDELL seconded the motion, and considered the report very satisfactory.- The report was adopted unanimously. - The first Thursday in June was fixed as the day on which the annual meeting of the club should be held. _ One shareholder tried to introduce personalities with the Secretary, and after several gentlemen had appealed for order, the CHAIRMAN ruled that the matter was rrevelant to the business of the meeting.
The next business was the appointment of directors, and this excited considerable interest. Shareholders holding in their own name ten shares or upwards were eligible for the directorate, and 54 gentlemen were thus qualified. Of these 32 were nominated, viz, Robert Aspden, licensed victualler;*Jas. Bowling, licensed victualler; Thomas Bridge, under clothing manufacturer, *Joseph Brown, gentleman; John Catterall, overlooker; William Cooper, solicitor; *Francis Coupe, journalist; Thomas Croft, contractor; *Thomas Cuncliffe, joiner and builder; Robert Arthur Dawson, fishery inspector; Thomas Houghton, commercial traveller; Robert H. Howarth, licensed victualler; George Iddon, tobacconist; Henry W. Johnson, county auditor; Jos. Kelsall, licensed victualler; Joshua Margerison junr, soap manufacturer; Joseph Milner, licensed victualler; J.P. Muspratt, solicitor; William McGuiness, licensed victualler; William O'Neil, licensed victualler; * William E. Ord, leather merchant, * Charles Parker, estate agent, Walter Pomfret, paper merchant; Richard Potter, livery stable proprietor; James Robinson, wine merchant; William Sudell, cotton spinner; Richard Turner, tobacconist; James Wilding, assurance agent; Thomas Whitehead, solicitor; William WHiteside, licensed victualler; *R.P. Woodhouse, monumental mason; Fred Woods, plumber and painter. The names distinjuished by asterisks are gentlemen who were members of the Provisional Committee and see re-election. Twelve directors, according to the prospectus, were to form the Board, and after six scrutineers had been appointed, the shareholders filled up their papers. The scrutineers took the voting papers in another room, and were absent about an hour, the time being pleasantly whiled away, the chairman and others contributing recitations and songs. About 10 o'clock the scrutineers returned, and, amid great cheering, indicative of a party victory, the following gentlemen were announced to have been elected, viz:- Walter Pomfret, 169, William E Ord 166, William Sudell 169, R.P. Woodhouse, 147; Charles Parker 136; Joseph Brown 122; Francis Coupe 118; George Iddon 115; Thomas Cuncliffe, 108; Joshua Margerison, jun, 104; Thomas Whitehead, 97; and Thomas Houghton 97. A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the meeting. (note to self - need to check for typo errors)

..........................................................................
What did being a coach proprietor mean? I'd like to think that John Wilcockson was a coach driver dashing along. However, Richard suggested to me that there might have been two John Wilcocksons. John followed his father into the hat industry but then became coach proprietor on the census. Why?
So I have been looking at newspaper references to coach drivers in the Preston newspapers. I think coach drivers were well known characters. From general books I get the impression that they had a bit of the same appeal to boys as the later steam train drivers.
Preston Chronicle Sept 6 1834
On Monday last, aged 5 years and 8 months, Edward, the eldest son of Mr. James Newsham, of Avenham Road, coach proprietor.
and an article in the same paper
MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT - On Saturday morning last, Edward Newsham, a fine boy between five and six years of age, son of Mr. Newsham, coach driver, Avenham-street, was so dreadfully burned by his clothes catching fire, that he died on Monday. The deceased and some other children had got a turnip which they hollowed out as a lantern, and the deceased was carrying it away, having lighted a bit of candle in it, when his clothes took fire. Every possible assistance was given by those in the house, as soon as the accident became known, but the poor little fellow was so dreadfully injured in the neck and body before the flames could be extinguished, that, after two days suffering he expired.
I know this does not prove that our John was a coach driver but it shows a possibility that he might have been. Also so sad about little Edward, there are many articles about children being burnt.
Other articles show the respect accorded to coach drivers.
Preston Chronicle Sept 21 1844
On Saturday last, in the 38th year of his age, after a few days' illness, Mr. Edward Davis, of this town, who was for many years coach driver between Preston and Liverpool, and latterly between Blackburn and Blackpool.

Dunn and Pritt's) between Ulverston and Lancaster. Previous to that for some years he was known as one of the best whips on the Lancaster and Liverpool road.
March 30 1867

THUNDER-STORM
PRESTON- Notwithstanding the violence of the storm, and the terrific character of the thunder and lightning which occurred yesterday week, we have not heard of any very serious result in this town. Between eight and nine o'clock in the evening, the house of Mr. John Wilcockson, coach proprietor, of Peel-hall Farm, near the House of Recovery, was struck by the electric fluid. It entered the chimney, and then forced its way through the wall into a ground floor apartment, where it tore the mantle-piece from the wall, shattered the chimney ornaments, and caused some other trifling damage. The kitchen door being fortunately open, the destructive element passed out through it without doing further injury. Mrs. Wilcockson and her niece were in the kitchen at the time the lightning passed through, but it providentially passed between them.

The mysterious death in Severn Street
Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Hawkes (coroner) held on adjourned inquest, at his court, Moor Street, on the body of a man who died at 15, Severn Street - a house of ill fame - on the 2nd inst. under somewhat mysterious circumstances - Since the adjournment of the inquest the police had succeeded in obtaining information as to the identity of the deceased. Mr. Crockford watched the case on behalf of deceased's relatives, and Mr. Cheston appeared of the persons who lived at the house in Severn Street. - Mr. William Edward Ord, 33, Bariston Street, Preston, stated that the deceased was his brother; his name was John Henry Ord, and he was thirty-two years of age. Deceased was a single man, and up to 1874 he was in the leather trade. Deceased's friends had not heard much of him lately. They knew that he had a house at Norwood for some time, and also that he had been living at Circus Road, St John's Wood, London. Witness had not seen him since August last, when he met him at his sister's, near Bradford. From that time he heard nothing about him except through his solicitors. Deceased had £250, a year coming in, and witness knew that he drew £500 7s from the bank in September. Since last March he had had a lot of money, and had regularly broken loose, living an indolent life. - Mr. O.W.Barratt, surgeon, Holloway Head, stated that he was called to see the deceased about eight o'clock on the evening of the 30th of October. He found deceased in bed, and there were two young women and two elderly women in the room with him. He found that deceased was suffering from delirium tremens and bronchitis. Deceased was tipsy, and witness prescribed for him. Witness told the women to give deceased the medicine, and to apply poultices to his back and chest. Witness told them to be sure and not give him any ale, wine, or spirits. One of the women told witness that deceased had arrived from a long journey that day, and had gone to bed immediately. Witness saw deceased next morning, when he was in a more intelligent mood. Witness told deceased that his life was in peril. He asked him his name, and deceased replied that he did not want his friends to know where he was. It would have been imprudent to have removed deceased. The women suggested that he should be removed to the hospital, but deceased said that he was being well cared for, and did not desire to be moved. In reply to the Coroner, the witness said that he considered the women in the house were perfectly competent to nurse the man. Witness was fetched about six o'clock on the Sunday evening and Dr. Simons was also fetched to attend deceased, but their aid was unavailing. Deceased died on the Sunday evening. The following morning Miss Johnson, the keeper of the house, came to witness's surgery for a certificate. - The Coroner: Did it not occur to you, knowing this man had died in a house of this kind, to give notice to the coroner or police? - Witness: No: I did not see the slightest reason for it. - Mr. S. Gamgee deposed to having made a post morten examination of the body. There were no external marks of violence. The liver afforded evidence of a long couse of intemperance. Death was due to inflammation of the lungs, accelerated by the condition of the liver. - Elizabeth Weaver, 6 house, 4 Court, Fordrough Street, who kept house in Severn Street for Miss Johnson when the latter was away, was examined concerning the time when the deceased came to the house with the girl Nelly Howe. - Inspector Willis stated that he stopped the funeral of the deceased on the 5th inst, and, in company with Superintendent Black, visited the house. As the deceased could not be identified they had the face photographed as the body lay in the coffin. Witness further stated that on searching the house they found 47 empty champagne bottles and 4 1/2 full, a large number of empty brandy bottles and some soda-water bottles. On searching deceased's clothes they found £2 6s 9 1/2d in money, his scarf-pin and a gold watch and chain, and several other things.- The Coroner remarked that the fact of the death of the man occurring under such circumstances, as shown by the evidence, shortly after his arrival at a house of the character the one in question was known to be, and coupled with the fact that no information of such a death was given to the police authorities, so that they might make enquiries as to identify, the hurried manner in which the certificate of death was obtained, and the early time fixed for the funeral, furnished such a combination of facts that he at once thought it his duty to investigate them, and the result was that the body was removed and came into his custody. Then what had taken place, and the enquiries of Superintendent Black and Inspector Willis, had brought the evidence they had before them. After reviewing the evidence of Sarah Johnson, given last week, the Coroner pointed out to the jury that it was for them to as certain whether any persons had acted wilfully and negligently, so as to affect the deceased's life. - The jury, after a short adjournment, returned a verdict, "That the deceased had died from acute inflammation of the lungs."

There is a very interesting article about Rudolf Ord online : Despatch Issue 8, Nov 2011
The Western Front Association
It tells of his WW1 experience and gives some family background information :
"Ord was born to an English father, Clement Ord, and German mother, Johanna Anthes, on 5th July 1888 in Reichelsheim-im-Odenwald, Germany. In 1891 Clement returned to England, bringing his family with him and they settled in Bristol where he served as a lecturer in English and German at University College.
Rudolf had four siblings: Evelyn, Mildred, Wilfrid, and Bernhard, the latter of whom is notable as having served as organist and choirmaster of King's College, Cambridge from 1929 to 1957. Described by the College's current incumbent, Stephen Cleobury as 'one of those rare musicians who became a legend in his lifetime' he is lauded not only for his supreme technical skill and musicality, but also for bringing the King's College choir to international prominence through foreign tours, recordings, and radio broadcasts. Rudolf's Uncle, William Edward Ord, as Mayor of Preston from 1906-8 and the first life president of Preston North End Football Club, is also worthy of note."

North End Football club.
The first general meeting of the shareholders of the North End Football Club, Limited, was held in the Lower Crush Room, on Thursday evening. There was a large attendance, the chair being occupied by Mr. Sam Lee, J.P. Among those present were Mr. Sudell, Mr. R.P. Woodhouse, Mr. J.Parker (solicitor), and Mr. C Parker (secretary) - After the notice convening the meeting had been read, Mr. Parker read the report of the provisional directors as follows:- " Preston North End Football Club, Limited. Report of the Provisional Directors to the shareholders assembled in general meeting this 21st day of September 1893. Your directors have taken this earliest opportunity of meeting the shareholders to lay before them the position of the club at the present time, and to afford them the means of placing the conduct of its affairs in the hands of permanent directors and officials. The total number of shares allotted is 1,908, the amount received on applications and allotment is £909 5s. The allotment call on 201 shares is still owing. The receipts of the matches were North End v. Derby County, £119 8s; Southport Central, £15; and Sunderland, £292 17s 8d. The amount realised by the sale of shareholders tickets is £109, which with £2 10s paid in advance of calls makes the total receipts £1,448 0s 8d. The expenditure includes £750 paid on account of the purchase money; match expenses, £21 9s 3d; deputation to Scotland and bonus to Cunningham, £21 14s 6d; players wages, £89 10s and cheque book, 4s 2d; a total of £882 17s 11d, leaving a balance of £565 2s 9d. The £750 above mentioned as paid on account of the purchase money has been applied in payment of the debt due to Everton, £122 14s; players' wages, £420 12s 9d; Fishwick Ramblers, £10 10s; and to Mr. Sudell on account of the amount owing to him, £100; leaving a balance in the bank to the credit of the trustees of this fund of £96 15s 11d. Your directors, are of opinion that efforts should be made to issue 500 additional shares, as with a subscribed capital of £2,500 it is very probable that abother call of 5s per share would amply suffice to carry on the club, leaving a reserve of uncalled capital, of 5s per share. All the provisional directors retire from office at the conclusion of this meeting in conformity with the provisions of the prospectus. The following have qualified and offer themselves for re-election:- James Bowling, F. Coupe, Thomas Cunliffe, J. Brown, W.E.Ord, Charles Parker, and R.P Woodhouse."- The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report, and in doing so said he was well acquainted with the work of the Provisional Committee. The report was an accurate synopsis of the work of the committee, and he was very pleased to see that such good progress had been made. It gave him intense pleasure to move the adoption of the report - Mr. SUDELL seconded the motion, and considered the report very satisfactory.- The report was adopted unanimously. - The first Thursday in June was fixed as the day on which the annual meeting of the club should be held. _ One shareholder tried to introduce personalities with the Secretary, and after several gentlemen had appealed for order, the CHAIRMAN ruled that the matter was rrevelant to the business of the meeting.
The next business was the appointment of directors, and this excited considerable interest. Shareholders holding in their own name ten shares or upwards were eligible for the directorate, and 54 gentlemen were thus qualified. Of these 32 were nominated, viz, Robert Aspden, licensed victualler;*Jas. Bowling, licensed victualler; Thomas Bridge, under clothing manufacturer, *Joseph Brown, gentleman; John Catterall, overlooker; William Cooper, solicitor; *Francis Coupe, journalist; Thomas Croft, contractor; *Thomas Cuncliffe, joiner and builder; Robert Arthur Dawson, fishery inspector; Thomas Houghton, commercial traveller; Robert H. Howarth, licensed victualler; George Iddon, tobacconist; Henry W. Johnson, county auditor; Jos. Kelsall, licensed victualler; Joshua Margerison junr, soap manufacturer; Joseph Milner, licensed victualler; J.P. Muspratt, solicitor; William McGuiness, licensed victualler; William O'Neil, licensed victualler; * William E. Ord, leather merchant, * Charles Parker, estate agent, Walter Pomfret, paper merchant; Richard Potter, livery stable proprietor; James Robinson, wine merchant; William Sudell, cotton spinner; Richard Turner, tobacconist; James Wilding, assurance agent; Thomas Whitehead, solicitor; William WHiteside, licensed victualler; *R.P. Woodhouse, monumental mason; Fred Woods, plumber and painter. The names distinjuished by asterisks are gentlemen who were members of the Provisional Committee and see re-election. Twelve directors, according to the prospectus, were to form the Board, and after six scrutineers had been appointed, the shareholders filled up their papers. The scrutineers took the voting papers in another room, and were absent about an hour, the time being pleasantly whiled away, the chairman and others contributing recitations and songs. About 10 o'clock the scrutineers returned, and, amid great cheering, indicative of a party victory, the following gentlemen were announced to have been elected, viz:- Walter Pomfret, 169, William E Ord 166, William Sudell 169, R.P. Woodhouse, 147; Charles Parker 136; Joseph Brown 122; Francis Coupe 118; George Iddon 115; Thomas Cuncliffe, 108; Joshua Margerison, jun, 104; Thomas Whitehead, 97; and Thomas Houghton 97. A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the meeting. (note to self - need to check for typo errors)
