He was the chief official of a county, in this case Cheshire. He handled the administration of the shire.

Family History Beginners Board / Re: Search for my father's first marriage records

If he married in Britain, then maybe look for a newspaper announcement in the area where he lived.
Or perhaps look at electoral rolls in that area to see if a wife is listed. If nothing else, it might provide a first name for her.

Family History Beginners Board / Re: The Postmaster of Arundel, QC

Welcome to RootsChat.
Could you indicate some possible dates for this couple, please? Do you know when they married and perhaps where? Their children's names might also provide clues for their parents' names.
Am I right in thinking that he and his wife lived in Canada?

Wait for it to arrive in the post.
Hope that helps.

Scotland / Re: J. E. Pryde from St Andrews
« on: Monday 22 December 25 16:58 GMT (UK) »
He may have been James Emery Pryde, born 1917 and died in 2010. He was partner in a firm of motor engineers at the West Port or West End Garage in Bridge Street, but appears to have been an accountant by profession. He lived in Ceres.

Sussex Lookup Requests / Re: Coroners Report Please Thomas Hutchinson died intestate 25th January 1755
« on: Sunday 21 December 25 15:33 GMT (UK) »
I have replied on this thread:
https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=895641.0
There is no indication that he died anything other than a natural death, so there would not be a coroner's report.

Sussex Lookup Requests / Re: Coroners Report Please
« on: Sunday 21 December 25 15:23 GMT (UK) »
He does not appear in the Coroner's Inquests, so presumably died a natural death.
Did he live in Hooe? Was he a shopkeeper? There is a probate inventory for this man (ESRO ref PBT/1/10/3079 - see https://www.thekeep.info/collections/getrecord/GB179_PBT_1_10_3079) dated 14 March 1755.
What sort of information are you looking for? If you have access to Ancestry (your local library may have this), the inventory can be seen there.
