The death of WILLIAM CHIPPINDALL in Morecambe Bay in 1765

[amondg]

There seem to be two Gyles/Giles Bleasdall/Bleasdale living 7 miles apart.

Giles married Eln (Ellen or Eleanor)Parkinson 1716 at Goosnagh
Giles of Thornley married Jennet Sidgreaves 1727 at Goosnagh by license
Gyles of Thornley married Catherine Yeats 1737 at Goosnagh (license says she is a widow) image on ancestry.

Gyles of Chipping married Mariah Bleasdall of Whaley 7 February 1720/21 by license at Chipping. (image on ancestry)

None mention if he was a widower, so they could be 4 different men from various families.

AMENDED to add Gyles village name
I would get the will of Gyles probated 1771, the information it contains  may solve who married who.

Jannet w/o Gyles Bleasdall buried 9 February 1729/30

Catherine w/o Giles Bleasdale buried 12 February 1750/51

Marrian w/o Giles Bleasdale buried 8 December 1748

Cumbria Archives also has the will, and related letters of John Chippindall of Gascow Farm, Ulverston, and one or two other documents relating to John, and William Chippindall, yeomen of Ulverston. Nothing referring to William's death, I'm afraid, but it might be worth enquiring, if you haven't already done so.

I had seen Bleasdale as Marrian's surname but wasn't sure if that was someone confusing her maiden name and married name. But perhaps they were cousins of some sort. Unfortunately Australian Ancestry members such as myself do not generally have access to Ancestry's British documents. However, I have taken a FindMyPast trial subscription and am collecting the images mentioned -- including the Bleasdale-Bleasdale marriage.

Based on the burials I have found so far making family charts for each Gyles Bleasdall and wife may be necessary.
It's possible the Elizabeth bap. 1721 may have died 

Burials at Chipping no ages given all children of Gyles/Giles no wife mentioned again.

James buried 16 April 1730
Ann buried 6 March 1747/8
Elizabeth buried 2 March 1737/8
Robert buried 30 November 1723  (Gyles of Bowland)
-------------------
Jennet w/o Giles Bleasdall buried 9 February 1729/30
Catherine w/o Giles Bleasdale buried 12 February 1750/51 at Chipping
Marrian w/o Giles Bleasdall buried 8 December 1748

Getting copies of the wills of the Bleasdall and Chippendall families from local archives will help a great deal.
 
Example PCC will on ancestry.
Elizabeth Chippendall - Probate 26 September 1816 of Ulverstone
sister Ellen Randall, niece Elizabeth w/o John ? of Ulverstone
brothers Rev'd Giles Chippendall, Richard and William. 

[GeoffTurner]

William who drowned on the Morecambe Sands had seven children, according to our hand-drawn tree. John (b 1742) married Ellinor Coward and their son William Coward Chippindall came to Australia in 1815. Ellen was b 1744. Margaret was b 1746. Richard was b 1751. Ann was b 1754. Elizabeth b ?, died 1816, she would the one with probate granted 1816. Giles took holy orders. He married in 1823 aged 63, so was born about 1760. There was also a William, who married in 1790. So that's the Chippendall group you mentioned (minus Margaret, d 1806, and Ann, d 1770).   

[amondg]

There are other names of friends mentioned in the will plus who gets her wardrobe etc.
You might be able to decipher who niece Elizabeth married.
She was quite a wealthy woman.
Look for one of ancestry' free days so you can read it. I only gave the bare minimum.

I think it would be possible for you to get PCC wills (eg Elizabeth Chippindale, spinster of Lancaster*) from the National Archives for free.

*I realised after posting that this is the wrong Elizabeth (d.1792), I had searched for Chippindall. Searching for Chippendall will bring up the 1816 will.

Just a quick one. This William Chippindall's father John had two wives. He married Eleanor Nutter in 1711 and she had their daughter Jennet Chippindall 1n 1712. Then Eleanor died in 1714 and John married Margaret Cutler in 1715, and she was William's mother.

My question relates to the entry in the parish summary for Waddington which includes Eleanor's burial.

Under Burials 1714, the sixth line reads: Elianora Uxor (wife) Joh'ís (Johannis) Chippendell de (of) Bashall sep: (7th) Julij (July). Then "17mo". At first glance I thought it was an infant death of a child aged 17 months but that's not it. The abbreviations mo, to, no and even tio are used in baptisms, marriages and burials on the same page.

Can anyone tells me what the Latin abbreviation "mo" means in this context?
