The first edition of Gore's Liverpool Directory lists vessels regularly plying between the port and London, Bristol, Bankey (Warrington), Chester, Preston, Lancaster, Milnthorpe, Ulverston and Whitehaven, with the names of their masters, the brokers, and the wharfingers. Flats (barges) for the Old Quay in Manchester and for Salford Quay are also listed in this manner; but for Winsford flats only names are given, no masters; and as for Northwich flats, they 'are so numerous it would take up too much room to insert them'.BROWN.

Wandsworth Baptisms
(1766)
The ancient parish of Wandsworth in Surrey comprised the single township of Wandsworth, including the hamlets of Garratt, Half Farthing and Summers Town. It lay in the archdeaconry of Surrey of the diocese of Winchester: unfortunately, few bishop's transcripts of Surrey parish registers survive earlier than 1800. Although the original parish registers of Wandsworth doubtless commenced in 1538, the volume(s) before 1603 had been lost by the 19th century. In 1889 a careful transcript by John Traviss Squire of the first three surviving registers was printed, and we have now indexed it year by year. The baptism registers from 1727 to 1774 normally give date of baptism, and the names of the child and its father and mother, but do not give date of birth.BROWN.

Hertfordshire sureties for badgers, higglers and drovers
(1765-1767)
Highly condensed abstracts of Hertfordshire Sessions Books and Minute Books were prepared by William le Hardy, and published for the County Council in 1935. Appendix IV is a list of licences granted to badgers, higglers and drovers: and this is the index to the sureties; each applicant for a licence had himself to sign a bond for £10 and also to find two sureties in £5 each. As a rule these sureties were themselves applying for licences, but these are the names of those who stood surety, but were not applying for licences. In each case full name is given, parish, and the year(s) (e. g., 65 for 1765).BROWN. Cost: £4.00. | Sample scan, click to enlarge
