[Bewley document] Deed of
Assignment of Goods
Thomas Bewley of Carlisle was a whip maker and his workshop is described as
a whippery. He was declared bankrupt in November 1780 and this deed, drawn
up the following month, concerns the seizure of his possessions for the benefit
of his creditors. Thomas was not necessarily a business failure - one of
his debts was '£100 and upwards' owed to a surgeon, so ill health seems to have
been a major factor. Manuscript on parchment, size approx 28"x19", nibbled
by mice at least twice but as the deed had been folded for convenient storage
those two nibbles created six holes - with loss of text in each case.
Damaged it may be but the deed is unique, and if you are researching the Bewley
family......... (ref 7721) priced for the damage at £10.00

[Borrowdale/Dixon/Walker/Turner/Jackson
families] Pedigrees
The three main pedigrees here chart
the descendants of 3 of the 9 children of George Dixon and Elizabeth Borrowdale
who married c1760. They commence with Elizabeth Dixon (d1819) who married
John Walker; Mary Dixon (d1827) who married Richard Turner; and Jane
Dixon (died 1820) who married John Jackson. Members of all
these families lived and died in Cumberland and North Lancashire. Very
useful detail in manuscript on paper, drawn up in the mid- 19c for a court case
(Rimmer v Carr) and from a 4th pedigree charting descendants of a Borrowdale
family we can see how the Walkers and Jacksons were related to the disputing
Rimmers and Carrs. This 4th pedigree is grubby and extensively torn along
an old fold though perfectly legible. (ref 3407)

the construction of a gas works. By the time of this abstract the railways had come
