Wesleyan Methodist preachers' wives
(1816-1817)
Wives of Wesleyan Methodist ministers were supported by the church, either centrally or through the local congregations: lists of wives were therefore printed in the annual minutes. Unfortunately, the ladies' Christian names are never given; where it is necessary to distinguish between wives of ministers with the same surnames, the husbands' Christian names are given. The S. preceding each name signifies 'Sister'. Examining these lists is nevertheless a good way to trace approximate dates of marriage for a minister, and approximate dates of death of wives that predeceased them.JORDAN.

Children working at Chorlton Cotton Mills
(1818)
The minutes of evidence taken before the Lords Committee on the Cotton Factories Bill include a series of reports by medical men as to the general health of the mill workers in April 1818. For each factory there is a complete list of workers, giving full name, age, how long employed in a factory, health (in general terms, such as 'Good' or 'Sickly'), and any chronic disease or 'distortion', cause and duration - with slight variations from report to report. The physicians examined several hundred people each day, asking such questions as 'Have you any swellings or sores anywhere?', 'Are your limbs straight?', 'Have you a good appetite for food?', 'Do you conceive yourself to be in good health?', and all concluded that the health of the mill workers was good, and that the workers were cheerful. This is the report for Birley & Hornby's Chorlton Mills. The report was divided into two sections, adults and children, and this is the report on those under 16 years old, 23 April 1818.JORDAN.
