| Arrangement: |
Note on the arrangement of Title Deeds Because of the lack of arrangement of the collection generally, it was felt that all deeds and papers relating to property should be catalogued together as Title Deeds. Strictly speaking, leases subsequent to a family's acquisition of an estate should be catalogued under Estate Management, as they are not deeds of title. However, there were instances during the sorting of the collection where it was apparent that deeds of title had been grouped together with subsequent leases of the acquired premises, often as the result of a legal action to prove the right of title. Legal cases also resulted in the inclusion of accounts and correspondence with the deeds of title, as was the case with the acquisition by the Pincock family of their estates in Euxton. In certain instances, therefore, leases, accounts and correspondence have been catalogued as deeds of title. The nature of the inheritance of the estates also needed to be taken into consideration, and it was felt that a grouping of deeds relating to each family from the Parkers through to the Brethertons was more appropriate than a strictly archival arrangement based on the JSA article referred to above. Where appropriate, a note regarding the arrangement of each section has been included within the catalogue. Note on the arrangement of Estate Management In keeping with the arrangement of the overall catalogue, the Estate Management section has been arranged first by document class and then by family, with the exception of the sub-section Surveys and Rentals (see note below). Note on the arrangement of Surveys and Rentals A section of the records relating to estate surveys, mostly carried out by William Hawkshead, was initially separated out and catalogued under the reference DDHK SURV. Because of the existence of the earlier list and the loss of information on the provenance of the surveys, it was felt that restructuring the sub-section in line with the rest of the catalogue would be too confusing. The earlier list has now been renumbered as DDHK 5/1, and additional surveys discovered during the sorting of the collection have been incorporated in this section of the catalogue. The original SURV reference has been included with the description where appropriate. Note on the Parker Estate correspondence The Parker correspondence has all been catalogued under Family Papers, as there was no distinct grouping of estate correspondence. Some of the personal correspondence contains references to estate matters, but it was felt to be inappropriate to separate individual letters out of the sequence. Note on the arrangement of Family Papers In comparison with the rest of the catalogue, this section has been catalogued in order of family name, then by individual. Where a substantial amount of material exists for an individual, the documents have been further catalogued by document type. Personal papers include accounts, diaries, correspondence, personal bonds and arbitrations, and records relating to official appointments and legal obligations. Marriage Settlements which do not involve transfer of land have been included in this section. For marriage settlements involving the transfer of land, please see under Title Deeds. Where pedigrees exist, these have been catalogued at the end of each family. Note on Printed and Miscellaneous Papers Items which could not easily be included in any of the main catalogue sections have been grouped together and catalogued as Printed and Miscellaneous Papers. The majority of the accounts, correspondence and legal papers in this section probably found their way into the archive through the official business and duties of certain members of the Parker, Hawkshead and Pincock families, but have no specific relevance to those families or their estates. |

Accessions 1211, 2651 & 3193 The Hawkshead-Talbot collection was originally deposited in 1956 by the Revd. H Bretherton (accession 1211) who had succeeded to the Bretherton family estates in 1924. There were two subsequent deposits of further material in May 1970 (accession 2651) and July 1970 (accession 3193) made by Lt. Col. J T Bretherton-Hawkshead-Talbot, who succeeded to the Hawkshead-Talbot estates in 1942. The current owner of the collection is the Revd. R D Bretherton-Hawkshead-Talbot, younger brother to the above named depositors. The collection is not a strict Estate Collection as it is made up of two strands of papers of various families (the Bretherton family, and the Parker/Hawkshead/Talbot families) which intermarried. The descent of property culminated in the inheritance of the estates through marriage by the Bretherton family following the death of William Hawkshead Talbot in 1907. As there was little clear order to the collection, it has been restructured following guidelines published by White, Bagley, Cory, Underwood and Williams in the Journal of the Society of Archivists [JSA] vol.13 no.1 (Spring 1992) pp. 1-8. Rather than catalogue the papers of each individual family, it has been decided to treat the collection as being the papers of the Bretherton-Hawkshead-Talbot family, and to list the collection first by document type, and then by family. A further anomaly exists in the deposit in 1976 (accession 3863) of papers salvaged from premises formerly occupied by a firm of solicitors in Chorley, which relate to the Parker and Talbot families. These papers are catalogued separately as DDX 1111 with cross-references to the collection DDHK. |
