sorry
Well between the last post and this, blogger has changed its layout and how it works. I am typing this under the old version (but even that has altered) which is being withdrawn in September. But it does not work on my computer and as I am hopeless with computers I am not going to be able to use it anymore.

David Wilcockson 1819
Well after spending all that time typing up the previous post - all that info I had already included under John Wilcockson.
What was Manchester like in the 1830s?
The Quakers in Manchester at that time very interesting.
The Quaker meeting house was involved in the aftermath of Peterloo in 1819. Soldiers entered the meeting house and attacked protesters, their blood stained the floor. The meeting house was replaced by a larger meeting house in the early 1830s (check date?) it is different to the smaller plain meeting houses. It has a grand entrance with columns - money given for the building by Isaac Crewdson?
Quakers in Manchester businessmen were mixing with other denominations. In America Elias Hicks had caused a split in the Quakers, in reply to that situation Isaac Crewdson in Manchester published A Beacon to the Society of Friends in 1835 and that led to many Quakers leaving the society. It even split families. It must have been a talking point for all Quakers.
The famous scientist Quaker John Dalton(1766-1844) was based in Manchester.
Family links to Manchester through the Satterthwaite family. Going back to Esther Satterthwaite who married David Wilcockson. Two of her brothers and two nephews removed to Manchester. We also relate to Michael Satterthwaite who came to Salford. There were Quaker tea dealers in Manchester. One was William Labrey.

Suspension of Mr D. Wilcockson of Preston, manufacturer, with debts between £15,000 and £20,000.
The fact that he went on to Lytham and did not seem to loose his social status or go to debtors prison suggests to me that the family helped out with his debts but thats only a guess.

The move to Lytham
Seaside resorts were developing for well to do people. An opportunity to make money whilst keeping up social status. The following found on google books using the advance search full books - searching for Lytham Wilcockson.
The earliest connection from "The life boat" shows donations and subscriptions for various life boat branches. It looks like 1864 for Lytham Branch Wilcockson Esq Preston paid £1 1s. (Which Wilcockson might this be?)
search on google for Lytham Pier Company will give you a link to amoundrness.co.uk
It tells us that at the first meeting of the shareholders of the Lytham Pier Company among the directors were Mr D. Wilcockson and Mr M Satterthwaite (The Preston Guardian 9 April 1864).
The book "Seaside watering places" published 1876 has a lovely description of Lytham and its intention to be an exclusive destination.
"There are no house agents in Lytham strictly speaking, but Mr Clarke of Lytham and Kirkham Times office, and Mr David Wilcockson, Church-road, will at all times furnish information of houses to let. Of hotels there are several, two first class, the Clifton and the Ship, which, for good living and moderate charges, cannot be excelled."

I think this might be William Dilworths illegitimate daughter
I did look at her some time age, as usual can't find the notes I made but I think she went on to have a family.
St Oswald Warton Nr Lancaster
bap. 19 Jan 1823 Isabella Marshall dau. of Dorothy Marshall, single woman born 23 Dec 1822.
She would have been David's first cousin.
Here are a few of my thoughts on the life of David Wilcockson. These are my own ideas and so not necessarily correct. In particular I am not an expert on Quaker history and as I find out more I have revised my opinions several times and may alter my views in the future. I think to try to put Davids life in focus we must start with his upbringing.
The Wilcockson family in Preston was close to the Satterthwaite family in Preston.
His father John Wilcockson was born in 1792 in Preston.
in 1802 John went to Ackworth age 10 with his first cousin Samuel Satterthwaite of Preston.
They both left Ackworth in 1806 when John was 14
(Samuel Satterthwaite moved to Manchester. His only son George Satterthwaite was later superintendent of Ackworth)
John grew up during the Napoleonic wars.
He had a certificate from Preston Meeting dated 3 July 1815 as an introduction to Southwark Meeting in London. (His older brother Isaac had gone to London in 1804.)
The battle of Waterloo 18 June 1815. I wonder what London was like at this time.
The battle of Waterloo 18 June 1815. I wonder what London was like at this time.
1816 was the year without a summer, what was that like to live through.
3.6.1818 John married Jane Dilworth, he was described as hat manufacturer of Preston. So he followed his father.

1826 James Wilcockson born Preston
27.5.1828 James Wilcockson died at Bolton le Moors age 2 buried at Preston, David was 9
17 June 1828 David's mother Jane Wilcockson was disowned because of drink.
As Richard pointed out the disownment followed quickly after she had lost two of her children, but also there had been the departure and the scandal of her brother William. Had they been close? He had lived in Preston. What was it like for Jane to leave her country home to come and live in the towns? Preston was a gentile town when David Wilcockson the hatter came in the 18th century but it grew into a dirty industrial town. It is said Charles Dickens partly based Coketown in his novel Hard Times on Preston which he visited in the 1850s. I think all this points to a not so happy home for David.
David would have been old enough to be aware of what was going on.
1828 John Wilcockson and his children David, Isaac and Mary Ann moved to Todmorden meeting.
1829 Edward Wilcockson born at Great Bolton, buried age 3 months.
1829 David went to Ackworth, his residence given as Little Bolton, age 10 he left in 1833.
He was there the same time as Robert Greenough of Little Bolton who left in 1832. Were they friends? His brother Isaac of Preston was at Ackworth 1830-35, and sister Mary Ann Wilcockson of Preston 1833-37.
5 May 1831 John Wilcockson and children returned to Preston meeting.
Preston Chronicle July 14 1838 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 Blackburn Standard. 27 Feb 1839
(Death) Jane wife of John WIlcockson coach proprietor, Peel Hall Preston.
David age 20.
14 Jan 1841 David Wilcockson returned to Preston from Manchester meeting. David age about 22
His brother Isaac returned from Manchester 14 Sept 1843.
What were they doing in Manchester? On the census a couple of months later in 1841 David was a tea dealer. Did they serve apprenticeships with tea dealers in Manchester?
I still have not decided whether John, David's father was actually the driver of the coaches. If he was then he would have been away from home plenty. It seems to me that David had an unsettled childhood. As the oldest child probably aware of his mothers troubles and the deaths of his younger siblings.

Sources for the Hall family 1
We do not have a marriage for John Hall and Ann.
In the Quaker records we find the births of their children.
On Ancestry both copies of the registers are labelled RG6/1654.
An earlier version appears to have ink stains all over and explains why some parts of dates are missing. A latter copy has been made, and it is that one (because it is easier to read) that I have used. Some of the pages have been filmed twice as part of the pages are dark and difficult to read. There are 88 images in all and I have indicated which image by (?/88).
This is a transcript not made with all the due care and intention that it should have been. So I do not claim it to be 100% accurate. Why have I bothered noting all entries up to 1700? Well I am especially interested in Quakers in the 17th century. This should give us information about the number and location of quaker families in the same area.
Red entries belong on the Hall tree.
I had assumed spilt ink was the reason why the dates were obscured, checking this document I discovered the real reason :
(50/88)
In pursuance of a minute of the Yearly Meeting held in London in the year 1827 addressed to the several Quarterly Meetings of Friends directing them to examine into the state of their respective Registers of Marriages, Births & Burials & to endeavour to have them carefully preserved.
The Records of this County were collected together for that purpose & the ancient Register of Births, having been inadvertently placed on a shelf were jars of preserves were kept, the Fermentation of some of them penetrating thro the cover of the Book, discharged the writing in the manner it now appears.
The annexed Copy was made out with some labour to assist those who may hereafter have to refer to the original.
Leek 14th of 2nd month 1828. Toft Chorley

Beside those entries of particular interest, I have merely extracted year of birth, name, (parents) and location where given. I freely admit I am not very good at reading old writing.

Outline of our Hall family.
Its been a while since I posted anything. I suppose I have been going through a crisis of confidence. In tandem with a crisis of confidence in the present world, what is the truth? I have come to realise that many of my beliefs about history have been built on the shaky foundations of a flawed education, my uncritical acceptance of anything in print, and prejudice nurtured by culture and society. I have been questioning the value of history. A painful journey - is it worth it? and why have I only just come to this conclusion? My poor little brain finds the absorbtion of information much harder than when I was younger. I also work at a much much slower pace. So apologies in advance if I don't make sense. Most of my energies at the moment are directed at trying to build up a historical framework rather than family history.
However, I have been inspired by Celia to look again at the Hall family. May I say here, that I respect and admire Celia in working so hard on research into our families. I should like to thank her again for her generosity in sharing freely her research.
.........................................................
Hall is such a common name as to make it a difficult one to research.
I am not claiming that the following is completely correct, and I put it here so people can make their own minds up. It is in no way complete, but it is what I feel happy at the moment to put on my tree.
.........................................................
First a simple outline, then I will post sources.
......................................................
John Hall married Ann
they had the following 6 children
Dorothy Hall
Margery Hall
John Hall
David Hall
Ann Hall
Hester Hall
.........................................................
of these children
Dorothy Hall married John Wilcockson
they had the following 6 children
Ann Wilcockson

John Hall married Jane Smith

William Hall
William Hall
David Hall married Sarah Botham

Mary Hall
Ann Hall
Esther Hall
.................................................
Red shows the descent for the Lancashire Wilcocksons.
Blue is the Wilcockson that went to America.
Purple is the line that links to the Stretch family.
..................................................
John and Ann Hall lived in North Staffordshire and were early converts to the Quakers.
All around that area were many Hall families. Parish records are incomplete. At the moment it is not possible to say what Ann's maiden name was nor which families they belonged to.
(Celia tells us that John Wilcockson was in Staffordshire MM until 1711 and from then BreachMM)
John Wilcockson, from Derbyshire became a Quaker and married Dorothy. Their children were born in Staffordshire but they moved back to Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire after 1700?
As far as I have traced son John Hall, some of his children were registered in the Quaker records but then they were baptised indicating that the family were no longer Quakers.
Son David Hall remained a Quaker in Staffordshire.

So Thomas is a widower with children Hannah 17, John 8, Sarah 7, Mary 5, Dorathy? 3 and baby Lydia 7 months.

Early Quaker Dilworths
Some weeks ago I visited John and Margaret. I had a really good day, from the bus ride along Hyde Road (passing Ardwick Green where some early Quakers lived, and Ardwick cemetery (now playing fields) where John Dalton the Quaker scientist was buried) to meeting really nice people, very welcoming and kind. I immediately felt right at home amongst fellow book lovers. However, as usual too exciting I don't think I was very coherent. They showed me three documents all connected to the Dilworth family - perhaps they didn't realise how special I thought they all were. I didn't look at the book of writing by Alice - not because I wasn't interested but I was overwhelmed, and also by an immense feeling of sadness for Alice. I would like to find out more about her. A letter concerning William Dilworth's resignation from the Quakers - has got me thinking. I had assumed (my usual failing) that William's marriage to a nonquaker had been the reason, but it might have been because of his own religious beliefs. And the marriage document for John Jackson Dilworth - oh heaven of course I have seen the record of this marriage in the registers but this answered a question I long asked myself - if for later marriages they still had the witnessing of the marriage by the people present. Yes. And the couple kept that document. So here was the very piece handled by them, kept and treasured by them. Here were the actual signatures. I am working on identifying the relations named - still struggling with two of them Robt Hall and Richard Tounley. And I will post later on the marriage witnesses.
One of the relations is James Dillworth. I returned to a site all about Quakers by Mr Charles E G Pease. I have often visited it over the years - it is one of my favorite places and I call it the pennyghael site. He has researched many lines including the Dillworths of Lancaster. For some unknown reason I could no longer access this file so I plucked up courage and made contact by email. Thank you, so much, he sent me the Dillworth file attached to an email so I could check it. I am afraid I am quite lazy - and often use his information to remind myself of links between the families as well as immersing myself in so much interesting information. Anyway to get on, this has led me to look again at the early Dilworth family, and before I misplace it all again I'm going to be good and type it up here.
The marriage of John Jackson Dilworth was in 1821, I believe the James Dillworth was his uncle born 1747 and died 1826.
The Quaker records for Over Wyresdale and the Lancaster area generally, I find quite difficult to read, and in particular there is a Quarterly Meeting book where the dates are not easy to distinguish. Not all the records have survived and some are only found in the Quarterly records. There are many loose ends still to be followed up. So please regard this as a work in progress. Dilworth is found spelt with one or two Ls, even when referring to the same person.
Our Dilworth tree is in "A Victorian Quaker Courtship" by John D Abbatt. I am definitely NOT questioning his work. I am just trying to understand the tree more for myself, in finding the original information. There are many trees online about Dilworths which have interpreted the early parish records in different ways - we have no way of knowing for definite. There is possibly more information to be discovered in old records in say the records office but I know from the little I have looked at that it won't be me that's finding it - I cannot read the very old writing nor understand legalities, for example with property or the court. But it is important to recognise that in future some other information might come to light which could change he way we interpret the records today.
Firstly our line back from John Jackson Dilworth.

Just a quick update as to what I am up to. My resolution for 2016 is to try to be more organized with family history and try to let people know what I am up to. (For personal reasons this is quite difficult for me.)
So I am still hooked on family history and the history of our ancestors lives. I do either family history or background reading every day but I am very disorganized and jump about from one thing to another - but this works for me and by going off at random tangents I have found much interesting information. I am limited to getting to places to do hands on research.
I am interested in all my ancestors but the quakers have left much documentation behind and a lot of research into the families has already been published and this makes it easier and very interesting as background information not available otherwise can be found.
General quaker history has become a focus of interest - this is what I have been thinking about for a long time and still not resolved - how much did quaker history influence national history (religious, political, social, economic) or reflect national history? Previously I had no idea of the importance of the Quakers (a relatively small % of the population).
The Wilcocksons remain of interest but I have been following more two of the wives which has led to an explosion of the extended tree. I had wondered how they made the leap from farming (with perhaps cottage industry on the side) to shoe making and then to the hat industry. I have no proof this, it is just my own conclusion that Isaac who went to Wray in Lancashire learnt the shoe business from one of his mothers relations (possible Thomas her brother?) and that he made a most fortunate marriage to Mary Gilpin. Her family had been in business. Her line has led to very early connection to the Quakers - the Wilcocksons came relatively late. Topics of interest shearmen dyers of Kendal, Coalbrookdale and the Iron Bridge (Mark Gilpin clerk to Derby family), the Dodgson family of Crook links to Carr water biscuits in Carlisle, part of the Gilpin family went to Bristol. The MP Charles Gilpin and another later Gilpin MP. One of the questions I have in mind is how much of the family when it moved away was known to other branches and part of this was answered when I found a link between one of Isaac's (the shoemaker of Wray) grandsons and this Charles Gilpin. There are also possible links to the Cadbury family, and the Crosfield family of Warrington - Persil (and a feud with Port Sunlight?) Perhaps through his mothers relations David Wilcockson recieved financial backing and business knowledge?
to set up his hat business.
Then David himself married Esther Satterthwaite. The Satterthwaites are a fascinating but frustrating family to research. We can go right back knowing they lived in Hawkshead parish into medieval times. Hawkshead has been of interest to others who have kindly left books for us to read on its history - and its connection to Wordsworth also made it of interest. Of interest here the Abbey at Furness and its dissolution must have had a profound effect on our ancestors lives and prospects (thank you Henry VIII). But it is difficult to identify the different Satterthwaite families. Interesting links here to emigration to America, London, MP John Bright (of Rochdale), the Quaker Rimington family of Penrith, the leather industry (Preston and Manchester), Ireland and the Hoare family - gentry, military and church of England people of note, the London Stock Exchange.
The history of places has become more interesting - even if our people are not named they lived there and experienced the same lives. Colthouse and Hawkshead, Kendal, Lancaster, Preston, Manchester, Warrington, and London.
Of course Manchester is of particular interest to me - knowing I'm walking in their footsteps. A Satterthwaite lived in Salford when he married. A Satterthwaite lived at Strangeways Hall (now the site of Strangeway Prison). I am slowly slowly learning about the Quakers in Manchester not a lot seems to have been written about them as a connection to Manchester. And when I go to the library I always say hello to MP John Bright's statue in Albert Square. There were several Quaker homes within 15 min walk of where I live. The Quaker meeting house was used by some of the victims of the Peterloo massacre. There was a split in the Quaker movement in Britain in the 1830s known as the Beacon controversy. Quakers definitely left their mark on Manchester - Bradshaw of the railway guides, Waterhouse the architect, John Dalton the scientist. For many years we have stood on platform 14, Piccadilly Station looking over at he deserted Mayfield station. There was a huge calico printing works there long ago called Mayfield, owned by the Hoyle family. William Satterthwaite married into this family and lived near there.
So you never know what you will find out next.

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.

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 :-

Dec 5 1846
On Wednesday last, at Calder House, near Garstang, Mr. Richard Jackson, aged 64. 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.

On Tuesday last, at Calder House, near Garstang, Mary, relict of the late Mr. Richard Jackson, in the 76th year of her age. She was a most worthy and consistent member of the Society of Friends, evidencing by her benevolence and kindly charater a true Christian spirit. The poor in her immediate neighbourhood ever found in her a friend in time of need. By them, as well as by her endeared relatives, her absence will be severely felt.

On Wednesday last, at Calder House, near Garstang, Mr. Richard Jackson, aged 64. 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.

(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.

Sarah Wilcockson, servant, to Hardshaw FRP11/52 1 Aug 1797)
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)
from image on ancestry.co.uk
Lancaster St Mary

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.
from Lancs OPC site :
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?

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.

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.

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.

I have not found out when Cuthbert Meadows died, but from Sarah's next marriage he must have died before March 1818.

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.

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????)

I don't think Elizabeth was a servant.
I'm going to put some Nuttall family history on here because 1. its an interesting story and 2. it explains why Elizabeth Brown and her children were fortunate. I'll colour it blue.

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?)
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.
