My name is David Beesley of Stretton, Warrington, Cheshire. During a recent clear out of my garage I came across an amount of legal documentation that I aquired at auction in Manchester many years ago. Most of it refers to the purchase of land around Glebe Farm for the extension of the Manchester, Sheffield and Northampton Railway dating from 1894 and thereabouts. Much reference is made to Jeffery Tredwell of Bacon House, Finmere and also an interesting lovely handwritten abstract of title referring to Joseph and William Painter. Do you know of any descendants of these people who may still be in the area?. I would be happy to pass on these approx 15-20 documents for a donation to Macmillan Nurses. 01925 261554.
