hello Pat
What was the name of the person you're interested in? I have a number of books here at home so I'll have a look to see what I can find.

Thank you Jayson & woody
John Burton has written the following. I would be most interested Jayson if you can confirm the story about Robert Thursfield
It is entirely possible that one Robert Thursfield, a Yeoman and Seargeant at Arms at Beeston Castle in Cheshire, was executed by hanging during The English Civil War, after The Battle of Namptwiche (Nantwich) in about 1645. It is said that he handed over the Keys to The Castle of Beeston to the Parliamentarians whilst the castle was under seige by them, and whilst its occupants were being starved into submission. The Royalists later learned about the incident and treated it as a treasonable act, despite the fact that the occupants were being starved to death.

How interesting! I'll see what I can find out for you. My local ref. library is sure to have something of interest.

I've had a look at a couple of books (one of which was James Hall's History of the Town and Parish of Nantwich, which has quite an extensive chapter on the Civil War) but couldn't find his name listed in the names index.
Will keep looking!
