Book Description
Excerpt from Lancashire and Cheshire Wills and Inventories, 1572 to 1696, Now Preserved at Chester: With an Appendix of Lancashire and Cheshire Wills and Inventories, Proved at York or Richmond, 1542 to 1649 HE Wills and Inventories printed in this volume have been selected from those now preserved in the Probate Registry at Chester, and are mostly of persons of the middle class, instead of, as is too often the case, those of persons of rank and position only. Amongst them will be found the wills of yeomen, husbandmen, chapmen, and Clothiers, together with those of several clergymen, one doctor of physio, two freemasons, and various gentry. Out of the fifty-one wills here printed only three are those of persons styled esquires, whilst one is that of a knight, and two others are members of the family of Viscount Kilmorey. They afford insight, therefore, into the life of the middle class during the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries, and as such will be found to contain much of general as well as local interest. They are mostly full abstracts of the original wills, devoid of all the legal verbiage and re petitions, but retaining every name of person or place, and all expressions which are in any way quaint or curious. Some few of the wills, however, have been printed in full in order to show how the others have been abbreviated. In an Appendix will be found a number of Lancashire and Cheshire Wills and Inventories proved either at[n trodufiz'on. York or Richmond, between the years 1542 and 1650. These are mostly short genealogical abstracts of the originals, and were found by me amongst the late Canon raines' Miscellaneous mss. And papers, which I have recently arranged and calendared for the Chetham Library. They would appear to have been mostly made by the Rev. Canon james raine of York, who was in constant communication with the late Canon raines, and who probably sent him abstracts of any important Lancashire and Cheshire wills and inventories which he met with in the course of his searches at the Probate Courts of York and Richmond. These wills will be found of much local interest, and will show how often it has happened that wills, which one would expect to have been proved at Chester, have, for some reason or other, been proved at York, and are there preserved. The Lancashire wills are mostly from the North of Lancashire, but a few are from South Lancashire, and some from Cheshire. A few wills relating to Westmore land have also been printed, as the southern portlon of that county formed part of the old diocese of Chester. The total number of the York and Richmond Wills of which abstracts are here given is 108. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
This study explores pre- and extra-marital relationships among the gentry and nobility of the north of England from 1450 to 1640: the keeping of mistresses, the taking of lovers, the birth of illegitimate children and the fate of those children. It challenges assumptions about the extent to which such activities declined in the period, and hence about the impact of Protestantism and other changes to the culture of the elite. A major contribution to the literature on marriage and sexual relationships, family, kinship and gender, it is aimed at an academic readership in the fields of social and political history.

Book Description
“Almost every book on English research highlights the need to examine the wills of our ancestors. . . . [this book] gives us an easy to read detailed guide.” —FGS Forum What are wills, and how can they be used for family and local history research? How can you interpret them and get as much insight from them as possible? Wills are key documents for exploring the lives of our ancestors, their circumstances, and the world they knew. This practical handbook is the essential guide to understanding wills. Wills expert Stuart Raymond traces the history and purpose of probate records and guides readers through the many pitfalls and possibilities these fascinating documents present. He describes the process of probate, gives a detailed account of the content of the various different types of record, and advises readers on how they can be used to throw light into the past, offering factual evidence that no genealogist or local historian can afford to ignore. In a series of concise, fact-filled chapters, Raymond explains how wills came into being, who made them and how they were made, how the probate system operates, how wills and inventories can be found, and how much can be learned from them. In addition to covering probate records in England and Wales, he includes the Channel Islands, Ireland, the Isle of Man and Scotland. This introduction is aimed primarily at family historians who are interested in the wills of particular individuals who are seeking proof of descent and local historians who are interested in the wealth of local historical information that can be gathered from them.
