Squire of Bewdley
« on: Saturday 23 July 11 21:01 BST (UK) »
Would someone be able to help me please.

I am trying to find out who the Squire of Bewdley was in the early part of 1847. I have done loads of searches using search engines but with no luck.

Thanking you.

It says here:
http://www.parishmouse.com/worcs/2009/3/30/bewdley-wribbenhall-and-neighbours-pigots-directory-1842.html
"Sir Thomas Edward Winnington, Bart. M.P. of Stamford Court, in this county, is lord of the manor"

and I assume it was this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Thomas_Winnington,_4th_Baronet

I hope that is correct :-)

Thomas Ireland seems to have been MP for Bewdley from 1847-1848 but presume taht Sir Thomas Winnington was still lord of the manor even if he lost his seat.

(Sometimes it helps to google Ribbesford or Wribbenhall for Bewdley stuff).
Rose (Black Country),Downs (Black Country),Wolloxall (any and all),Bark (Derbyshire),Wright (Derbyshire),Marsden (Derbyshire), Wallace (Black Country)
