Anyone going to Chester RO?

[goldie61]

Hi
Is there anybody going to the Cheshire Archives Office soon and could take a photo of a couple of things for me please? – a visit from the other side of the world not possible unfortunately.

I have just found, after all these years!  a settlement order for my 4x great grandfather.

The ref is ZTCP/8/123
Date 22 Sept 1774
He was Thomas Almon, with wife Esther and children William, Jesse, Mary and John. All this info from the short title on National Archives.

I would love to see what it says.

I also have a will – which I have tried to download from FindMyPast many times, and which never appears. I contacted FindMyPast months ago, and they acknoweldged there was problem, and would see to it. That was well over 6 months ago now, so goodness only knows when they will get round to it – they have much to do otherwise I think yet before they get round to that.

It is of a John Cash 1759 Wilmslow.

I would be more than happy to pay the photography fee for the day.

Many thanks if anybody is able to help out.

Hi,
I can't see a will for a John Cash on the FindMyPast index, was it a transcription error and they have now removed it ?

You can search Cheshire wills on the Cheshire RO web
site.http://archives.cheshire.gov.uk/search_and_shop.aspx

I've had a quick look and I can't see a John Cash on it.

There is a will for a John Cash 1758, Warrington on the Lancashire wills list....could that be the one?

If it is, then you won't be at Chester, Cheshire record office ,you'll need the Lancashire one(Manchester?)

Was that a typo then?
Should the post have read Warrington instead of Wilmslow.
I have a number of Wilmslow wills, always been Cheshire.
From memory one of them names a Sarah Cash as a beneficiary.
I'll have to dig it out see what it says.

Hi everyone
sorry, that was my typo 
Should have been Thomas Cash  1759 of Wilmslow - lots of Johns and Thomas' in the family.
I know it's on the cheshire RO list, but I think they still do photocopies, and it's just not the same as an actual photo.
Cheers

Just for future reference Lancashire Record Office is in Preston.

If you do not find anyone who is going to the Chester Office, I am sure that they would send you a copy of the items you require if you either rang them or e-mailed them. they are usually very helpful.
