Hello Bookbox,
Thankyou you very much for your super efforts, I'm most grateful for the time you have spent. The detailed results speak for themselves. I will take your advice and visit Cheshire archives in the new year and take a look for myself.

Hello horsleydown, thankyou.
Could you please enlighten me as to the context of wording around the Chapel of the Castle in Clitheroe please. The Church within the Castle walls no longer exists but there are extant remains of the Castle and approach.
What is the significance and meaning of a number of individual "words" in bold letters please?

Hello Bookbox,
Thankyou, that would be good if you good precis the gist of the text in English. I have attached the remainder of page 2 if perhaps you could take a look to see if there is anything significant there, a date perhaps.
I really appreciate your efforts for this.

Thankyou Bookbox,
Grateful thanks.
Attached scanned image (1 of 2 as sent from Chester Archives). This first page includes the script that you have already translated.
Also attached are the last lines of the second page which includes the signature.

Good Morning Bookbox,
My grateful thanks, super job!!
The names would relate to church wardens (of the Booths of Goldshaw, Barley and Wheatley, Roughlee and Old Laund that make up the parish) and remain as local families today. There is a Manknowles Farm in Barley, and depending on the date of the document, a strong possibility that both William Bulcock and Milo Nutter were related to the "Pendle Witches" hanged at Lancaster.
If I were to send you a further extract of the beginning of the document I wonder would you be kind enough to translate it. This may then give me an idea what the document relates to and possibly a date. Actually, if I also enclosed the signature on the document I may be able to establish the date if it is signed by a Bishop.

Could anyone please help with the translation of the attached lines.
They are part of a much larger document from the Bishops Register of my local Church, St Marys Newchurch in Pendle, Lancashire, and date between 1579 and 1646.

I recognise the term Capale de Penhill or Pendill? which is a description used for the former chapel of ease in this village.
I am particularly interested in what appear to include either local place names or perhaps family names.

One Name Studies: A to G / Re: Edmondson (Edmonson, Edmundson, Edmunson) of Cumberland, Westmorland, Lancs/York

Hello Tyke,
I only recently came across your subject. James Edmondson b. 1799 in Lancashire (I Believe in Roosebeck) is my 4th great grandfather. His great grand-daughter Susannah married my great grandfather Abraham Thompson Robinson (residence on Walney, Barrow in Furness in 18950. Do we have a family connection? Xsalamak

Lancashire / Re: Watson - Barrow in Furness C1881
« on: Friday 01 March 13 22:44 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Radcliff,

Thank you for your efforts and info. I had picked up on the Edmonson connection (apart from  Susannah who was the illegitimate child of Elizabeth before her marrige to Thomas Watson). As you say there may also be a connection somewhere to the Huddleston family but I haven't as yet made that connection. I had however wondered from earlier reseach whether the father of Susannah may have been a Huddleston!! My ultimate aim is to connect the Watson side with a Mary Ellen Watson living in Padiham in 1942!! its a tall order but thats the intrigue of Fam History. Will contact you again over the coming days. Family are staying over at the moment and time is a bit limited.

Best
Will
