Hi
After having a search for Joseph Hassall who is my earliest Hassall who is based around Northwood, Shropshire, I came across this information on Whixell, Shropshire.
"The final breakdown of the remains of the original manor of Whixall was caused by Messrs. Corser, Hassall and Naylor. On 21st August 1824 the last manorial court was held with Sir Rowland Hill as lord of the manor. The next court held on 29th January 1827 records George Corser, Joseph Hassall and George Naylor as joint lords of the manor. By 22nd April 1829 these three gentlemen had gone bankrupt and the manor lands of Whixall were auctioned in the White Lion Inn, Whitchurch. The manor lands amounted to 1067 acres."
This is my info:
I have an ancestor that I'm trying to trace called Joseph Hassall and note that the same name was lord of the manor before being made bankrupt. Is there anyway of finding out more information regarding this gentleman? The only information on Joseph Hassall I have is that he died before 1851 in Northwood, Shropshire. He was married to Mary Hassall born abt 1771 so the dates add up. He had 3 sons (that I know of) called James and Joseph b. 1795 (not sure if twins or born within 12 months of one another and John born 1813 ish.
Does anyone know anything about this Joseph Hassall or about Whixall which I could investigate to see if these are the same Joseph?
