Hi Donna The entry in the Probate Calendar (available on Ancestry) reads as follows:- COLLINGE Matthew of Great Lever Lancashire tape sizer died 10 August 1894 Administration Jane Collinge widow Effects £643 8s. 8d. I think the word 'Administration' indicates that there was no will, but that his estate was passed on to his next of kin, Jane, but maybe someone else can explain this better to you.

Hello List, I was wondering whether anyone could help. I have a Hannah HUTCHINSON b.1814 Tonge with Haulgh with I believe some connection to the FLETCHER/MASON families. Hannah married John CROOK b.1813 Tonge with Haulgh, in Deane in 1834; in 1851 census, John is the Manager of a Paper Mill in Turton. In 1861 census, he is a Cotton Waste Dealer. From my research, it seems that the FLETCHER family was involved in the paper industry. I think that Hannah's mother's maiden name may have been FLETCHER. Indeed in 1841 census, there is an Edmond HUTCHINSON with his family in Lever St., with two members of a FLETCHER family. At this stage, I do not know whether this Edmond is a relative. Was the maiden name of John CROOK's mother MASON? The reason I ask, Hannah and John's grandchildren, 4 boys were all given a family name as their second name; Joseph Hamilton, Charles MASON, Thomas Mewburn and Francis FLETCHER. I know where the names Hamilton and Mewburn come from(maiden name of childrens' mother and maternal grandmother). Hence I suspect that MASON and FLETCHER are maiden names of their paternal grandparents, but I am unable to clarify this. Thanks Katharine
