1642 History
of Warrington (Lancashire OnLine Parish Clerk
Project, www.lan-oc.org.uk,) |
|
|
William (208) |
|
|
Some stirring times commenced with the Civil
War and many a stern fight took place in and about the town. In September
1642 the Earl of Derby took an army of 4000 men through Warrington for his
unsuccessful attack on Manchester and in the following November he garrisoned
the town in order to secure the passage of the Mersey. Mud walls and outworks
were thrown up and against this stronghold Sir William Brereton’s forces and
a large detachment from Manchester laid siege at the beginning of April 1643.
After three days fighting the Earl began to set the middle of the town on
fire and threatened to burn the whole place down rather than it should be
taken. To prevent this the Parliamentary forces withdrew. |
|
|
Rachel (209) |
|
|
Colonel Edward Norris,
the Governor of Warrington, was left in command of
the Royalists who numbered about 1600 and Sir William returned to the attack
on May 22nd. The Royalists immediately fled to the Parish Church and steeple
and boldly and resolutely defended themselves. The Manchesters, however, obliged
the defenders to surrender after a siege of six days. On May 28th Sir George
Booth, a Parliamentary Commander and Lord of the Manor, entered the town and
was received by the people with great joy, the victors treating the
inhabitants with great leniency. |

Fatal Incautious Use of a
Revolver |
|
|
Richard (26) |
|
|
The adjourned inquest on the
body of Isabella Norris, 32 years of age, wife of Richard
Norris, a publican, of 2, Scotland-road, was
resumed yesterday before the borough coroner. Mr, Bremner was present to
watch the proceedings on behalf of the deceased’s husband. It appeared that
Joseph Norris, brother-in-law of the deceased, had been using a revolver on
the 4th ult. He was in the same room as his brother and his brother’s wife
(the deceased) who had a child upon each knee. He handed the revolver to his
brother, four of the chambers being at the time loaded, but he did not tell
his brother the weapon was loaded. He told his brother that the quickest way
of firing the cartridges successively was to pull the trigger back with the
thumb instead of using the trigger. Richard Norris pulled the hammer back
with his thumb, but the hammer slipped from his hold and exploded the
cartridge. The ball grazed the deceased’s nose and passed through the orbit
of her right eye into the brain at the back of the head. She lived to the
18th inst., and spoke rationally of the affair till within a short time of
her death. The accident was not, however, mentioned to her, for fear of its
exciting her. Once before her death, in speaking of the affair to her mother,
she said that the revolver went off by accident. After a long investigation
the jury returned a verdict of “Accidental death”, and were of opinion that
Joseph Norris was deserving of censure, as he had been careless in using the
weapon and not warning his brother that the revolver was loaded. |
