Notebook of John Howarth

John (Brown) Howarth (b.1819-?) married Mary Fildes (b.1819-?) the youngest daughter and 12th child of Joseph Fildes (1769-1843) of the Church Inn Newton Heath.

The notebook Includes:

An account of the estate of the late William Fildes Church Inn Jan 22 1855 (6 pages)

[William (1799-1853) 2nd son of Joseph above, died unmarried.]

A calendar of Fildes and Whitehead deaths and those of some other Newton Heath notables 1828-1842 (1 page). John Howarth must have copied this from a list found among William's papers as the notebook is dated 1855 and he himself would only have been 9 years old in 1828. On the next page, a separate list of events and expenses 1829-30 leading up to the death and funeral of Sarah Fildes (1805-1829), wife of James (1804-1832) 4th son of Joseph. (1 page) [James and Sarah are my Gx3 grandparents].

Notes on end flyleaf relating to valuation of William Fildes estate. (1 page).
