The frost in Scotland continues with severity. The mail between Edinburgh and Aberdeen, a distance of 132 miles, which should perform the journey in 22 hours, was three days on the road, and it has been necessary to carry it on horseback, the snow not admitting the passing of the coach. In the neighbourhoods of Montrose, Kilross, Dundee, Perth, Arbroth, and Queensferry, the snow lay in immense quantities. _________________ LORD ANDOVER,last Wednesday, on returnig from shooting in Norfolk, handed to his servant his fowling-piece, which went off at the instant, when the shot penetrated his right side and lungs.

WEDNESDAY March 15. By Letters of the seaventh of March it was this day certified, that the affaires of Lancashire are not in such ill conditien as the Pamphlets and reports from London make them: that Warrington and Wigan hold good for the King, and that in Liverpoole, being the principall haven towne of that County towards Ireland, there are some companies of foote of SIR THOMAS SALISBURIES Regiment, and a Troope of Flintshire horse: and (which indeed is of most importance) that the towne of Lancaster is recovered from the Rebels, by a Regiment, under the command of LIEUTENANT COLONELL TILSLEY a Lancashire man, who a was faine to make his way by fire into it. And it was certified also in the said Letters, that the Inhabitants of North-Wales are most affectionately stout in the Kings service, having not onely raised men enough for their owne defence, but that for making good the City of Chester, the severall passes over the Dee, and the towne of Liverpoole, they maintaine two Regiments of foote and some Troopes of horse. It was also signified this day from London by letters of the 11th of March, that since the reduction of the Close Committee to the originall number, they now are on the point to dissolve themselves, having so little merited the name of the Committee for the Safety of the Kingdomes and that they do it on this reason, that feeling their designs succeed not as was first expected, the miscarriage of so great and so many enterprises may be imputed rather to the whole body of the Houses, then to their particulars; and on a probable presumption that those calamities which are like to befall this kingdome may be borne the better, when they come sweetned with the name of the whole Parliament, then when transacted and determined onely in a particular Committee.

Oxan, Decemb. 9. Wigan in Lancashire, Dec. 5. This Town was startled at the death of a Woman, who was found early in the morning before the dore of a poor Cottage in the high-way, within the Limits of this Corporation; The Major of this Town was very industrious to find the cause of it, and upon due examination of three Persons that came with her into the Town from Ireland, and many notorious circumstances, it appeared that she was clear of any Infection, and that being with Child, to avoid the shame among her Friends who are of good Fashion, and live not many miles from this place, she destroy'd her self by poyson.

Oh, sorry Bob Kissle......I don't have any "documents" per se. What I am transcribing are old newspaper articles which I gleaned whilst having a "freebie" session, and then saved to my files. I'll keep my eyes open for Col. Phillipson though !! Barb, Ontario, Canada.

A letter from MAJOR GEN. HARRISON in Lancashire. My Lord, Having joyned with MAJOR GEN LAMBERT about 12 at noon on the 13 instant, on Hazelmore, within 7 miles of Preston. The Enemy, according to our best intelligence, lying then on Ethil Moore, 4 Miles on this side Lancaster, and that evening marched to Haworth Moore, within 8 miles of Preston, and yesterday through Preston towards Wigan, designing (as we conceive) to get up to Warrington Bridge before us. Yesterday receiving a sudden account of their marching through the Town, we crossed the Countrey, and about one of the Clock this morning reached Bolton, and after some short stay for refreshing our men, we marched away for Warington, where we are now in conjunction, with about 4000 Foot and Dragoons raised in Cheshire and Staffordshire. We are improving the littletime we have got before them here, to the spoyling the Ford and Passes on the River, especially between us and Manchester, leaving those open to them (only) where if they attempt passage, we may be most considerable to make opposition, and (if the Lord will) engage them. Wherein we wait his pleasure and providence concerning us, not questioning if we be clearly called to give them battel, or that they seek us out and force us to it (as in reason it seems to be much their interest) before my Lord Gen. comes up with the Foot and Train, (which is heart-filled with a heavenly power from the Lord, and see his ancient Arm lifted up as in former ***** against his Enemy, I am Sir, Your most humble Servant, T. HARRISON. At the Camp near Warrington-Bridge the 16th day of the sixth moneth, about 11 in the morning. Munday.

Ugh! I had this nicely formatted when I sent it, but now it is gone. Should be simple enough to figure out though.

Wigan in Lancashire, June 9, 1648. Sir, The Enemy hath had his agents working with some or other of every Castle in the North, for the delivery of them up to them. Helmsley Castle was lately attempted, but the fidelity of the Souldier they applyed themselves to (to whom was offered 100 l. in hand, and 5 col. more upon bord, and to be Knighted) prevented it, for he discovered the parties, and apprehended them prisoners, and now they are in the Dungeon at Helmsley Castle. This I can assert for truth, having examined it upon Oath. Langdale is in Westmorland, and we heare is unwilling to fight if he can prevent it, but our Forces now are in a body, and are on the edge of Westmorland, about Bowes, watching an opportunity to engage him, though they be fewer in number, Tis thought he will wheele about for Pontifret if he can possible, and miss fighting, Pontefret is blocks up with about 8oe.Horse and Foote, which is all possibly be made here for the present, the enemy there increases, and are as we hears, 250. Horse, and 400. Foote, so that that party cannot lay close Seige: the Maj. Gen. is about Bowes. Tis reported here our Forces and Langdates lye within 3. Miles one of another.

John -----Original Message----- From: John Steel Genealogy [mailto:fh@johnsteel.co.uk] Sent: 12 September 2008 15:02 To: eng-westmorland@rootsweb.com Subject: [ENG-WESTMORLAND] FW: ALFRED KENT 1866 Seems my first reply did not go anywhere so here it is again: Lynne In the 1901 Census Alfred is there aged 35, he was born in Harlow Essex and his wife Alice aged 35 was born in Carnforth Lancashire. But there are no children listed in this census. It is possible that in 1891 Alfred was living in 23 New Street, Lancaster as there is a person of the correct age born Audley End Essex, who is a Railway Clerk in lodgings, in the same house and daughter of the head is Alice Burtle aged 25 is listed and was born in Carnforth, perhaps this is the girl he married.
