PREFACE 

This  volume  is  the  eighth  of  the  series  printed  by  this 
Society,  covering  the  period  of  the  Act  Books  at  the  Diocesan 
Registry  at  Chester,  between  the  years  1606  and  1700.  As 
will  be  seen  by  the  detailed  list  printed  below  it  includes 
part  of  the  Manuscript  Vol.  VII  and  the  whole  of  Vol.  VIII. 

As  has  been  pointed  out  in  previous  volumes,  these  Act 
Books  are  often  very  imperfect  records  for  the  period  they 
cover,  and  no  search  should  be  considered  complete  without 
reference  to  the  original  Marriage  Bonds  which  are  filed  in 
yearly  bundles  at  the  Diocesan  Registry  for  the  period 
1661-1700. 

The  present  volume  is  one  that  must  be  used  with  especial 
caution  as  the  Registrar  appears  to  have  entered  up  the 
bonds  in  his  Act  Book  in  a  more  than  usually  perfunctory 
manner.  This  is  true  particularly  in  the  matter  of  year 
dates.  The  Registrar  seems  to  have  received  the  Bonds 
from  the  different  Surrogates  at  no  special  time.  Occasion- 
ally a  Surrogate  would  delay  sending  in  his  returns  for  two 
or  three  years,  and  when  this  happened  the  Registrar  did  not 
always  trouble  to  enter  them  under  the  correct  year,  but 
simply  "  bunched  them  "  into  the  Volume  at  the  date  when 
they  arrived.  The  editor  has  done  his  best  to  check  such 
dates  by  reference  to  the  various  Parish  Registers  that  exist, 
but  this  has  not  always  been  possible,  so  that  caution  should 
be  used,  and  a  reference  to  the  original  bond  made  if  a 
searcher  wishes  to  be  accurate.  The  attention  of  the 
reader  is  drawn  to  pages  19-22,  38-41,  65-67,  119,  153-155, 
187,  295-308. 

For  the  convenience  of  readers  the  details  are  here  repeated 
of  the  Marriage  Licence  Act  Books  and  Bonds  now  remaining 
in  the  Diocesan  Registry  at  Chester.

Rec.  Soc.  L.  and  C). 
VI.  February  9,    i666[-7],   to  March   24,    i679[-8o]. 
(Vol.  69,  Rec.  Soc.  L.  and  C). 
VII.  April  6,  1680,  to  December  27,  1694.     (April  6, 
1680 — March  31,  1691,  Vol.  73,  Rec.  Soc.  L.  and

Hiatus  December  28,  1694,  to  March  24,  i694[-5].

and  C). 

Hiatus  August  31,  1700,  to  1719. 

From  this  date  it  became  the  custom  to  enter  the 
licences  in  the  Act  Books  as  and  when  the  affidavits  were 
returned  into  the  Registry  by  the  Surrogates.  The  dates 
therefore  overlap  a  good  deal;  this  is  especially  the  case 
between  the  dates  1733  and  1772.

^  The  entries  at  the  end  of  this  volume  following  the  entry  of  licence  (John 
Baxter  and  Dorothy  Brooke)  on  the  27th  June  1642,  and  extending  to 
2ist  October  1644,  appear  to  have  been  irregularly  entered,  and  probably 
do  not  include  all  the  licences  issued  for  this  period.

IV 


REPORT  FOR  THE  YEARS  1920-21  (43rd  Year)    AND 

1921-22  (44th  Year). 
Read  at  the  Annual  Meeting  held  at  the  AthencBum,  Liverpool, 

on  10th  May,  1922. 

During  the  year  ended  on  30th  June,  192 1,  no  volume  was 
issued  to  the  members,  but  the  printing  of  \^olume  75  (Part 
II  of  the  series  of  Lancaster  Marriage  Bonds  offered  to  the 
Society  by  Mr.  J.  P.  Smith)  and  of  Volume  76  (Mr.  Beazley's 
Calendar  of  Monumental  Inscriptions  and  Wills)  was  com- 
menced. The  Council,  having  received  generous  offers  of 
£75  towards  the  cost  of  Yolume  75  by  the  member  who 
contributed  the  same  sum  towards  the  cost  of  \'olume  74,  and 
also  of  £25  by  Mr.  Beazley  towards  the  cost  of  Volume  76, 
felt  justified  in  proceeding  with  these  volumes.  Some  delay 
was  experienced  over  the  Index  to  Volume  75,  but  both 
volumes  were  dispatched  to  the  members  in  April,  1922; 
Volume  75  being  issued  for  the  year  1920-21,  and  Volume  76 
for  the  year  1921-22.  The  cost  of  the  former  was  £142  12s., 
and  of  the  latter  £173  los.  lod. 

At  the  last  Annual  Meeting  it  was  decided  to  increase  the 
subscription  for  the  year  commencing  ist  July,  1921  to 
£2  2s.,  and  the  Council  are  glad  to  report  that  the  increase 
caused  very  few  resignations.  The  number  of  paying 
members  now  stands  at  118. 

In  November,  192 1,  the  Hon.  Treasurer  and  the  Hon. 
Secretary  intimated  their  wish  to  resign,  after  holding  office 
for  13  years,  and  at  a  Council  Meeting  held  on  7th  November, 
192 1  the  question  of  finding  their  successors,  and  the  future 
of  the  Society,  were  fully  considered.  It  was  decided  that 
every  effort  should  be  made  before  the  next  Annual  Meeting 
to  find  suitable  successors,  in  the  hope  that  the  work  of  the 
Society  might  be  carried  on.  So  far,  no  persons  to  fill  these 
ofhces  have  been  found. 

At  the  Council  Meeting  held  on  24th  January,  1921,  Mr. 
J.  P.  Smith  was  elected  a  member  of  the  Council.  The 
accounts  of  the  Society  at  30th  June,  -1921,  showed  a  credit 
balance  of  £193  4s.  iid.  The  accounts  for  the  year  ending 
30th  June,  1922,  will  not  be  ready  before  that  date,  but  the 
Hon.  Treasurer  anticipates  that  there  will  be  a  credit  balance, 
after  paying  for  Volumes  75  and  76,  of  about  £150. 

Notice  has  been  received  terminating  the  joint-tenancv 
with  the  Historic  Society  of  Lancashire  and  Cheshire,  of  the 
stock-room,  on  31st  December,  1922. 


REPORT   FOR   THE   YEAR   1922-23    (45th  Year). 
Read  at  the  Annual  Meeting  held  at  the  AthencBitm,  Liverpool, 

on  ^th  Septemher,  1923. 
During  the  year  no  volume  was  issued  to  members;    but> 
the   cost   of   printing  having   fallen   materially,   it   is  now 
proposed  to  resume  pubhcation  forthwith. 

On  22nd  March,  1923,  the  Society  suffered  an  irreparable 
loss  in  the  sudden  death  of  Mr.  John  Paul  Rylands,  F.S.A., 
barrister-at-law,  who,  for  the  last  fourteen  years  had  been 
President  of  the  Society,  and  in  1878  was  its  originator. 
On  antiquarian  and  genealogical  subjects  he  wrote  exten- 
sively, and  in  heraldic  matters,  especially,  was  recognised  as 
a  first  rate  authority.  The  following  obituary  notice  of  him 
appeared  in  the  Times  of  29th  March,  1923: — 

"  The  funeral  was  held  on  Tuesday,  at  Thelwall,  of  Mr. 
John  Paul  Rylands,  F.S.A.,  of  Oxton,  Cheshire,  a  well- 
known  antiquary,  who  died  recently,  aged  77.  He  was  a 
member  of  the  Northern  Circuit,  and  practised  for  many 
years  in  Liverpool,  but  retired  about  twenty  years  ago. 
His  special  interest  was  in  genealogy  and  heraldrv^  He 
was  one  of  the  founders,  and  for  many  years  president,  of 
the  Record  Society  of  Lancashire  and  Cheshire,  president 
of  the  Liverpool  Athenaeum  in  1910,  a  vice-president  of 
the  Historic  Society  of  Lancashire  and  Cheshire,  and  at  one 
time  president  of  the  Ex-Libris  Society,  a  member  of  the 
Council  of  the  Harleian  Society,  and  for  nearly  forty  years 
a  member  of  the  council  of  the  Chetham  Society.  The 
works  by  which  he  was  best  known  are  the  "  Visitations  of 
Cheshire,"  1580  and  1613,  which  he  edited  for  the  Harleian 
Society  (the  latter  in  conjunction  with  the  late  Sir  George 
Armytage,  Bt.),  "  Disclaimers  at  the  Heralds'  Visitations," 
and  ''  The  Armorial  Bearings  of  the  City  of  Liverpool." 
In  addition  he  advised  and  assisted  the  late  Mr.  J.  P. 
Earwaker  with  his  "  History  of  East  Cheshire."  He  w^as 
initiated  into  Freemasonry  in  1872,  and  was  one  of  the 
founders  of  the  Quatuor  Coronati  Lodge.  Mr.  Rylands 
married  a  daughter  of  Nicholas  Smith  Glazebrook,  of 
Hayman's  Green,  West  Derby;  she  survives  him  with  two 
sons  and  two  daughters.  His  brother,  W.  H.  Rylands,  also 
a  well-known  antiquary,  died  last  year." 
At  the  last  Annual  Meeting,  on  loth  May,  1922,  Mr.  F.  C. 
Beazley,  F.S.A.,  and  Mr.  Ronald  Stewart-Brown,  M.A., 
F.S.A.,  after  thirteen  years  of  excellent  service,  tendered 


vi  REPORT  OF  THE  SOCIETY. 

their  resignations  as  Hon.  Treasurer  and  Hon.  Secretary 
respectively.  To  fill  the  vacant  posts,  Mr.  W.  Asheton 
Tonge,  and  Mr.  Robert  Gladstone,  B.C.L.,  M.A.,  were  then 
elected,  to  serve  as  from  30th  June,  1922. 

Owing  to  the  termination  of  the  tenancy  of  the  stock-room 
on  31st  December,  1922,  the  entire  stock  of  the  Society's 
pubhcations  was  removed  to  the  Royal  Institution,  Colquitt 
Street,  Liverpool,  and  was  thoroughly  cleaned  and  carefully 
counted.
