Look up request, Liverpool R.O. Beckwith

[Bertieone]

Thomas [whose will I quoted] was linked by marriage or business with William Ewart [godfather of W.E. Gladstone] and families including Jaques, Rutson and others who seem to have Yorkshire origins, as do the Beckwiths. Thomas lived in Islington (Liverpool) and was buried at Holy Trinity, Wavertree, as requested in his will 'in a vault adjoining that of my nephew Christopher Jaques'.

Margaret Beckwith married Simon Wrather, 6 June 1765, Thornton Watlass, York


Name:
Christopher Jaques
Gender
Male
Marriage Date:
17 Jun 1772
Marriage Place:
Well, York, England
Spouse
Margaret Wrather (Simons sister?)

Hitting the nail on the head, as usual, Bert. I have found a number of people named in Thomas B's will hailed from Thornton Watlass and Bedale, north of Ripon. I am now in touch with someone who has a large family tree online which includes many of the same names, and we are about to swap what info we have.

This is a slight variation from the original look-up request but I should be equally grateful for any information from a Liverpool directory of 1782 or nearby.

A will I have just received names the following as merchants in Liverpool to act as trustees for the distribution of legacies, but not as executors:
Henry Ranthmel [the third letter of the surname is not clear, although the handwriting is a fine copperplate].
Stephen Ford .
Thomas Beckwith [There are two possibles - his address may help to identify which this is].

Thank you

Too quick for me too.
Very useful pieces for an ever-expanding jigsaw. Thank you both.

I wonder if Stephen Ford is related to other Fords I have plenty about. His is a new name. I see his will was proved at Chester...

Rauthmell is a rare name, also new to me. Not many around it seems.
