    2. has anyone checked the following resources to see if any further information can be gathered on George: The record of the trial for the rebels captured at Preston is at the Public Record Office, Kew, London. The lists and indictments of the rebels of 1715 is identified as KB8/66. It is described as "Special oyer and terminer rolls and files, including informations and depositions", and is filed in two boxes. The box labelled "Part 1" contains seven folders or bound manuscripts, of which the folios have been numbered in a single series, ff. 1-132. The other is a very long box because some of the documents are three or four feet long. It contains Part 2 (ff. 133-201) and Part 3 (ff. 202-254). Each folder bears the heading: "A list of ye Rebell Prisoners at [place], showing their Christian Names and surnames the Parish and county they dwelled In." {These records are all written in Latin.} a book published in 1895 by George Routledge and Sons, Limited titled "Preston Fight or The Insurrection of 1715" Reviewers say this book is historically correct.
