“
Family history as the family story goes that an ancestor of ours, a (v?) mill owner’s son in Yorkshire, ran away to Lancashire with the maid (after he had stood guarantor of a large loan to a friend after the friend had failed to pay back the loan. Aunt Martha Evans said her grandfather used to say that he could never tell the family who this was or they would do as he had done, and spend a fortune trying to claim a fortune which is in chancery, as had not got enough evidence in black & white and the old lady he first lodged with when he came to Wigton (?) had died many years before. I suppose the money was left to the missing son when his parents died.”i think
