I will now tell you what I have done in the way of discovery.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"610\" data-end=\"829\">The earliest date at which I have at present found our name existing is A.D. 1212, when our ancestors were lords of the township or manor of \u201cBickerstaffe\u201d or \u201cBickersteth,\u201d which they held from King John in Lancashire.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"831\" data-end=\"1099\">As far as I can make out from the manuscripts which I have consulted in the British Museum and Bodleian Library they appear to have come into this estate in quite the ordinary way, the son of Henry III became Earl of Lancaster and they consequently became his tenants.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1101\" data-end=\"1235\">Our most distinguished ancestor seems to have been Sir Robert de Bickersteth who was sheriff of Lancashire in the years 1311 and 1315.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1237\" data-end=\"1427\">I have found in Rymer\u2019s Foedera the pardon granted by Edward II in 1313 to the Barons who fought the King at the battle of Bannockburn and \u201cRoger de Bickersteth\u201d is mentioned as one of them.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1429\" data-end=\"1586\">About the middle of the fourteenth century the name seems to disappear from the possession of the estate and to pass to the Scarisbrick and Stanley families.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1588\" data-end=\"1972\">The Bickersteths seem to have been able to keep some property in Aughton, for the next fact I found out about them was in a notice of the will of Anne (or Emma) Bickersteth who was the widow of James Bickersteth of Aughton and who divided her property between her son Thomas Bickersteth and two daughters Anne wife of Richard Wighall and Catherine wife of Nicholas Hesketh of Aughton.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1974\" data-end=\"2022\">Here my researches have stopped for the present.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2024\" data-end=\"2141\">I have a copy of the notices of our name in the registers of Ormskirk Church but they do not give one very much help.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2143\" data-end=\"2289\">I had chiefly intended to tell you a rather interesting discovery I made about one branch of our family who settled in Surrey in the 16th century.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2291\" data-end=\"2495\">I cannot find the name of the man who first left Lancashire, but his son or grandson was Hyam Bickersteth of Chertsey in Surrey who for his loyalty to Charles II was fined \u00a3500 and three times imprisoned.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2497\" data-end=\"2564\">His son was Sir Charles Bickersteth who was knighted by Charles II.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2566\" data-end=\"2729\">Sir Charles had three sons \u2014 one became a Treasurer who was killed in the army and died at Breda \u2014 Charles who died young \u2014 and another Charles who died unmarried.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2731\" data-end=\"2817\">They lived at the \u201cWilderness\u201d in Kent and the park there was laid out by Sir Charles.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2819\" data-end=\"2958\">After his death the estate passed to Sir John Pratt father of the first Lord Camden and since that time the Camden family have lived there.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2960\" data-end=\"3072\">Of course these Bickersteths have nothing to do with us except through the same family as their line is extinct.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3074\" data-end=\"3344\">What I am now most anxious to do is first to fill up the blank from 1394 to 1500 and then to find out who James Bickersteth (the father of Henry Bickersteth my great-grandfather\u2019s father) was, and if possible to trace his line up to the Bickersteths of the 16th century.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3346\" data-end=\"3509\">In addition to my researches in the manuscripts I have been consulting a very modern book \u2014 the Lancashire Directory for 1866 \u2014 and have found the following names:<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3511\" data-end=\"3781\">Edward Bickersteth Esq., Ivy Cottage, Brighton-le-Sands, Liverpool<br data-start=\"3577\" data-end=\"3580\" \/>Mrs Frances Bickersteth, Highfield Cottage, Ormskirk<br data-start=\"3632\" data-end=\"3635\" \/>J.

Thomas Armetriding who was Vicar of Leyland from 1689 to 1719.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6828\" data-end=\"6909\">This Robert Bickersteth had a son Thomas who was baptised on the 31st March 1687.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6911\" data-end=\"7006\">Robert Bickersteth was buried at Leyland on the 2nd January 1688, but the son apparently lived.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"7008\" data-end=\"7113\">For by his will Mr Armetriding (the vicar of Leyland) left \u00a350 to Mr Thomas Bickersteth of Aughton, gent.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"7115\" data-end=\"7200\">Aughton and Bickerstaffe are both townships of Aughton parish and lie close together.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"7202\" data-end=\"7384\">It is possible that this Thomas Bickersteth was the father of James Bickersteth whose name appears at present at the head of our family tree, but I can only guess this, not prove it.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"7386\" data-end=\"7514\">I do not know at what age James Bickersteth married, but the year was 1736 and his wife Mary Sherdley was at that time about 22.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"7516\" data-end=\"7610\">If we suppose that James was either married at about the same age the dates would just fit in.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"7612\" data-end=\"7631\">We should then get:<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"7633\" data-end=\"7891\">Robert Bickersteth of Aughton m. 1685 Elizabeth Armetriding<br data-start=\"7692\" data-end=\"7695\" \/>Thomas Bickersteth baptised 1687<br data-start=\"7727\" data-end=\"7730\" \/>James Bickersteth of Burscough married 1736 Mary Sherdley<br data-start=\"7787\" data-end=\"7790\" \/>Thomas B. elder son born 1746<br data-start=\"7819\" data-end=\"7822\" \/>Henry Bickersteth of Kirkby Lonsdale born 1750 m. Elizabeth Bousfield<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"7893\" data-end=\"7952\">This is as I say only guess-work but I hope to clear it up.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"7954\" data-end=\"8109\">If this descent is correct it would account for James Bickersteth calling his son Thomas, the name coming into the family from the Rev. Thomas Armetriding.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"8111\" data-end=\"8157\">But names were already common in the district.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"8159\" data-end=\"8335\">The Ormskirk registers show a Bickersteth (or Bickerstaffe) name as early as 1572 which was given to the son of James Bickerstaffe of Aughton who in 1570 married Anne Westhead.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"8337\" data-end=\"8501\">You see I have a great many dates and entries to work upon but to dovetail them into each other and to identify the relationships is not so easy as one might think.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"8503\" data-end=\"8538\">It is rather like a Chinese puzzle.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"8540\" data-end=\"8597\">My wife adds many messages to your sister and believes me<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"8599\" data-end=\"8627\">Yours affectionately<br data-start=\"8619\" data-end=\"8622\" \/>R.
