Katy.
You say you like the history puzzles, have a go at this, its supposed to be about Accrington 1851. Thats what the public record office had it listed as, when the office was in Chancery Lane. Retlaw. Last edited by Retlaw; 26-10-2009 at 21:09. |

You've finally got your mind in the right era, but its nowt to do with Poll Tax. Its just one of 8 pages of a court case and dispute about the ownership of a parcel of land in the Tippet of Ogden, when the river Ogden changed its course due to erosion. The case was'nt resolved and was sent to Westminster. I could never find any further reference to this case at the P.R.O. attached one of the pages translated. Retlaw. |
