Hi
Does the entry say which prison William was sent to, please?
Thanks

In another appearance in Court Garner, as a "gut rope" manufacturer, was told he had "... no right to set up works to poison the neighbourhood".
The smell have been horrific

"HEAVY PENALTIES FOR A NUISANCE AT NEWTON HEATH - Mr James Garner, gut manufacturer, Newton Heath ..."
Hi
Thank you. This is quite fascinating and a bit ickky. I will investigate this but I wonder if it is connected to whip string making though why he would steel them is beyond me.
Kindest regards

I don't think I've ever been so happy to find an ancestor who did time. Lol. This is great additional information. It confirms William is my gt grandfather. This has opened up a whole new avenue of research for me.
Thank you so much.
Kindest regards

Hi
Well I am really hedging my bets that this is the ancestor I have been looking for. My William Mackay was a whip string maker who lived Newton Heath around 1861. I am always reluctant to claim somebody but I think it's adding up it may be him. I believe this William was born in Edinburgh which is a piece of information that has eluded me up until now.🤞
Thank you so much
Kindest regards
Amanda.

Lancashire Resources / Re: Seafield house, Seaforth, Liverpool.
« on: Thursday 13 March 25 12:55 GMT (UK) »Checking newspapers on line (BNA/FindMyPast) returns about 160 hits under the search key "Seafield House Seaforth" covering a period 1873-1999" ranging from job adverts to the 1939 evacuation of children from there to Graves Hall (snippet/reference only - no detail).
Hi
Thank you. I've spent some time viewing some news reports which may be relevant to the time period I'm looking at.
I have found snippets of information and photos across the Internet but nothing in any great detail. I'll keep searching.
Thanks again.

« on: Thursday 13 March 25 12:52 GMT (UK) »How does the Seafield House that you are interested in relate to this Wikipedia article, if at all?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seafield_Convent_Grammar_School?wprov=sfti1
It appears to be related but some online information seems to conflict slightly with this. I read that Seafield was a former covent. The map shows the grammar school as further along from the convent. I suspect they are connected though.
Thank you.
