Bannister index entries as of 02 October 2004

1861 census
Bannister. John. 24 years. Smithy Lane, Trawden, corn miller.

Bannisters of Foulridge.
In the PRO there is a map of Whitemoor dated 1580/811 page no. 507 in the catalogue. 3437 Barnoldswick. 1580/1581 (DL 31/106)

See also PRO DL1/123 T.1 for mention of a suit between Tempest at al, tenants of Barnoldswick and Bannester et al, tenants of Foulridge. The dispute was over ownership of lands on Whitemoor and the 1580 map seems to have been surveyed for use as evidence in that case. (DL = Duchy of Lancaster)

1625
John Bannister of Barnoldswick married Margaret Frankland of Gisburn in 1625 at either Barnoldswick or Gisburn.

1692.
John Bannister noted as owner of Cow Pasture Farm in Barnoldswick.

I know I have seen a reference somewhere to Bannister being the owner of Coates, either the hall or the estate but didn’t record it. Any information welcomed.
