Many thanks, that helps a lot. We just want to make sure we're looking at the right place, not always easy without the benefit of local knowledge of places and speech patterns.

Thanks Brian, tried that. The only entries I seem to get are ones connected to a query I put in a few years ago. "Highwayman" sounds different to "rolled a drunk after a 'pub crawl' ". "Highwayman" brings to mind the poem we learnt at school. He ended up with his own pub in Tasmania.

Hi Rosie,
Just wanting to explore every possibility, hadn't looked at Leeds and given the fact that he met up with the "bad characters" in Leeds thought it should be considered especially when I heard recently about Briggate.

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Location of "Everstow nr Brig" ?????

Can anyone tell me where "Everstow nr Brig" is or was please?
?
My ancestor John Rainford was born about 1799 and was living in Manchester in 1828. In April 1828 John went to Leeds to attend a wrestling match where "he had got amongst some bad characters known to him in his earlier years." They were drinking for some time with another man and when that man's pocket was picked John was the only person apprehended and convicted. John was tried at York and sentenced to death but transported to Tasmania for life. On his convict papers his native place is given as "Everstow nr Brig". I cannot find anywhere by this name but heard of an area of Leeds called Briggate. As the people from "his earlier years" met up with him in Leeds I thought it possible that is where "Everstow nr Brig" is? I'm in Australia and don't have an extensive knowledge of Leeds. Any suggestions appreciated please.

Salford and Manchester. Instructions for motion that appeal against order of removal of (Harriet Ann) Rainford (and her children) be entered and respited QSP/2957/9 c1832
Salford and Manchester. Instructions for motion that order of removal of Harriet Ann Rainford be set aside QSP/2961/26 c 1832
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, Thank you

How to pronounce "H" is often a matter for disagreement here in Australia.
All these ideas are a great help.
