David -You asked >> "Is it the Westhoughton tithe map you're looking at? The list of landowners and occupiers from the Tythe Awards on your excellent OPC site includes a farm called Duggans with owner Nicholas Hartley, occupant R. Hartley. The 1851 census has Nicholas Hartley (and sister) living at Duggans, the 1841 census appears to have them at the same place although it doesn't give the farm name. I.e. it looks like Nicholas was the occupant rather than, or as well as, the owner. If you've got the map to hand, could you please check. Nicholas is also shown as the occupant of a farm called Hodsons, owned by Mr Starkie, do you know where that was?" Hi David, The farm Duggans was just up the lane where I live, next to Wingates Church. I have a note in my files about Hodson's - 1774 Property of Starkies estate called Hodson's is at Wingates almost opposite the top of Church Street just along Chorley Road and fronting the road for some distance, probably as far as Church Lane. It was described in 1744 as "messuage with closes containing 3 acres of woodlands in tenure of Wm.Hodson demised to him for 3 lives on Jan 1 1732 at 10/- p.a. In 1774 it was the tenure of James HARTCLIFFE. So it would have been on the opposite side of Church Lane from Duggans. I have not got a copy of the Tithe Map - although I am going to LRO very soon and I believe the original map was so frail that it could not be copied but I have been told that there might be a way to copy it now after some restoration work has been carried out. I will find out shortly and let you know. Best Wishes Pam Clarke
