Guy, Thanks for the info. I will look into it in more detail later but my first thought is that the farm is much nearer Gawsworth than Mutlow so is unlikely to be one of the farms referred to. A pity as it was a nice suggestion. But I will check on the ownership of the farm later. Thanks again, Christine From: Guy Lawton Sent: Tuesday, October 22, 2013 9:49 AM To: Christine Benson ; cheshire@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [CHS] Marking on parish burial register Christine Herewith the information I promised you a couple of days ago. Mutlow ecclesiastical location: The Gawsworth entry in “Notitia Cestriensis” of Bishop Gastrell [1714-1725], Chetham Socy vol VIII (1845), page 272 states “3 houses in [the] townsp. of Marton, in a place called Mutlaw, belong to this par.” White’s “History, Gazetteer and Directory of Cheshire” (1860), page 668 states “At Mutlow...are three farms which pay church rates, poor rates and tithes to Gawsworth, and highway rates to Marton. These farms are the property of A. H. Davenport, Esq”. “The Place-Names of Cheshire”, vol I (1970), page 81 makes clear that Mutlow is a detached part of Gawsworth parish lying within Marton parish. I hope this information is of help Guy
