Hi Wendy, I've solved my own problem! I found a written reply to a phone call to Lancashire Libraries in 1997, which states: In reply to your telephone call asking the whereabouts of Walkerholme, Barrowford, we have found a field of that name, now part of Barrowford Park. Walker is another name for ...

Hi Wendy,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I have 29 Sep 1616 Henric fil Jo. Walton of Walkerholme. Henry m. Isabella (both) Waltons in 1640. Their childrens' baptisms give the at Walker Home. Everything is at Colne.

Hi People, Does anyone have any information on the location of Walkerholme (or Walker Holme). It appears in the Colne PRs mid-17c (1630-1670) as the home of Henry Walton. Holme normally relates to an area by water. I have a suspicion that it may have been in Foulridge that was flooded when the vario...

Hi Kev,

Thanks for the response. The one on Archive is Vol. 3 (which I already have, along with 1 & 2).

Regards, Phil.

Hi Everyone,
Does anyone have a copy of Early Yorkshire Charters Vol VII - The Skipton Fee? I'm after an entry on page 227 about John de Merclesden.
I now live in Kent and the libraries down here don't hold much about 'up North.'

Thanks, Phil.

Hi Stanley, Thanks for the post. I've tried both these sources with no luck. I'm slowly coming to the conclusion that Blakey was a forunner or perhaps an alternative name for Blacko - Warner agrees with this in his History of Barnoldswick. I've got JAC's Admergill book on order - that may give me so...

Hi Ian,

Thanks for the response. I have John's books but I cannot find anything specific regarding this.

Hi All, I'm struggling to determine the extent of the ancient 14c area of Blakey to the west of Colne - anyone got any clues? I was originally assuming the area extended from Wanless (ie Blakey Hall Farm) westward to Pendle Water (at Higherford). A deed from 1340 gives the area as 'the bounds of thi...

Hi Wendy/Stanley,

Thanks for the responses. Already tried both these;the eBay item is ended, and I live in Kent - so Clitheroe library is difficult.

Cheers, Phil

Hi All,

Does anyone known if the shortform publication (32 pages) 'An account of the court rolls of the manor of Gisburne' by WS Weeks, published by the Clitheroe Advertiser in 1922 is available online? I've tried all the usual book sources on the web, but no joy so far?

Thanks Phil.

Hi, Does anyone know if there is a translation of the Chartulary of Kirkstall Abbey? I am researching my family history; in this case Richard de Merclesden, Master Forester of Blackburnshire, including the Chace of Penhull (as it was then) from about 1327 to 1345. He was involved as part of this dis...
