Title: Return of Papists 1767
Post by: auron on Wednesday 09 March 11 13:59 GMT (UK)

I have obtained a copy of the 1767 Return of Papists, Diocese of Chester which covers most of Lancaster and a surname index. I would be happy to look up any names but I only have to book for a few days.

Hi,
If you still have the book could you look up Richard Tyrer possibly from Ulnes Walton/ Croston.

Many Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt I've found 2 Richard Tyrers

Lverpool, Stanley Street, Richard Tyrer cabinet maker, lodger apprentice to Charles Charles

Wrightington
Richard Tyer, weaver, 30 with Thomas age 9, Betty age 6

Hope this helps

Great - Thanks for that. They have a lot of detail in these records. The Wrightington entry looks like a possibility. Can I be cheeky and ask if there was a Peter Tyrer who was probably Richards father.

Hi Matt,  sorry I couldn't find a Peter anywhere in the document not just in Wrightington. There was a Roger, Henry, Thomas, and one Jos who was 'reputed to be a priest' in Lancaster.

I've just noticed a transcription of the Return for the parish of Chorley in Lancashire is on Lancashire Online Parish Clerks website.
