Title: Richard Parrott's 1733 survey of Audley
Post by: Shadrach on Thursday 16 March 17 00:02 GMT (UK)

Does anyone know if Richard Parrott's survey of Audley in 1733 is available on-line?
I'm trying to trace my Downing ancestors in Audley Staffordshire and would very much like to know if there is any mention of any Downing/Dunning/Dounynge families in the survey.   
Would appreciate any help

Hi, I have just found this site and under the Public House a little way down the page is the Boughey Pub with some Downing Landlords.

Thank you Cathy, wonderful information to have.
Scrolling down I noticed a mention of Church Farm where another ancestor of ours, Benjamin Leighton and his wife Hannah, farmed until 1857 when Hannah sold the farm stock.  In Audley, Leighton history can be traced back to the early 17th century, one of Benjamin's descendants later married into the Downing family and this is the line I'm interested in.  Not sure yet whether Ralph Downing is of the same line but hope so.
