| 3902 | The Building of the First Methodist Church. A conference was held at Windsor on the 28th and 29th February. 1792. Four hundred and forty dollars were subscribed for a church. Among the trustees were Edward Church, Henry Scott and William Walter Rickards. William Walter Rickards, whose house and workshop were used for religions services in winter, for some years after the erection of the shell of the new church. Walter Rickards had come with the loyalists to Shelburne, whence he had removed to Halifax, and soon after to Windsor. He had been brought up in another branch of the Church, but his wife belonged to a family which had been among the first in Windsor to approve of the doctrines and discipline of Methodism. At the close of the first service held in his house, the preacher, without inquiry, made announcement for another. Mr. Rickards, though by no means pleased, offered no opposition, and at length provided a pulpit for the frequent services which followed. Years after, when he had become a member and a leader, his wife would pleasantly rally him about the perseverance of that Methodist preacher, whose boldness had long since ceased to be objectionable. | RICKARDS, William Walter (I652)

The guard from the Royal Berkshire regiment did duty here all last night. ..... The Mail man (Evening Mail reporter) spent the remainder of the night under canvas. The reporter was not alone. In the tents were some three hundred homeless people. Nearly all were poorly clad, but each had a small bundle of clothing given to them by the relief committee.... The attention of The Mail reporter was called to a sad case at the Dufferin hotel at midnight. Stretched on the floor, covered by a fur rug, was a former prominent sporting man of Halifax, now penniless. The fire swept from him all his belongings, and he is now numbered among the homeless. The name of the man is Robert Rickards, who was a bosom friend of the late Michael Power, Spring Garden road. Rickards won large sums of money in betting. He wagered $5,000 on the Warren Smith and Wallace Ross Boat Race on Bedford Basin. Hundreds in Halifax who knew "Bob" Rickards will be interested in this story. | RICKARDS, Robert Young (I24847)

| 3939 | The fact that he is not buried in the same cemetery as his wife and child at Sackville suggests he moved away from the area. I have come to the conclusion that he is the William H.

| 3944 | The following extracts are from The History of Carlton in Coverdale 1086-1910 by Nora Elaine Joynes "Coverham rectory A large-scale dealer in land acquired the first lease of Coverham. rectory from the Court of Augmentations - none other than Leonard Beckwith, who was the Receiver for the Augmentations in Yorkshire. Here in the Archdeaconry of Richmond he was operating outside his own area, where he also acquired monastic property. Beckwith was granted the lease of Coverharn rectory for twenty-one years at the rent of f20 on 10 June, 1537. In 1562 the reversion of the rectory, then in the tenure of John Ward, was granted to Thomas Allen and Thomas Freman, along with the Rectory of Iford, Sussex. 45 The tithes of the ancient parish church thus passed to a succession of lay impropriators, who bought and sold their shares of the rectory like any other piece of property, while the pastoral needs of the parish were served by a perpetual curate." "The witnesses in 1613 gave differing evidence about the tithes paid by the other four granges, but they all distinguished between Carlton Flatts and the other four. The phrase 'except Carlton Flatts' occurs repeatedly. An explanation was given for this difference by Richard Geldart of Carlton, who claimed to be aged ninety or thereabouts. He stated that John Ward, who was an impropriator of the rectory, also obtained a lease of the five granges for twenty-one years from the Earl and Countess of Lennox. He sub-let the other granges, but fanned Carlton Flatts himself. This evidence was partly contradicted by one of the Dawson family who said that about fifty years before (i. e. about 1563) his father Roger Dawson was an under-tenant of John Ward leasing half of Carlton Flatts for seven or eight years, and never paid any tithes to John Ward or any other farmers of the rectory. However, it seems clear that the difference between Carlton Flatts and the other four granges came about in the time of John Ward." The witnesses described events after the Dissolution, when John Ward, Luke Metcalfe and Leonard Buckle (father of the plaintiff) had a lease of the parsonage of Coverharn and of the chapel and its three acres of land, and were undisturbed during their lease. Roger Dawson said he had heard they paid f6 rent (which seems to indicate the offerings were profitable)" | WARD, John (I9819)

| 3946 | The following is from Jim White, a descendent of David Reece Thomas' sister Gwenllian. "In 1926 he emigrated to the US, where he was followed the next year by his wife and two surviving children. They set up home in Chicago, with another child, Ellen, being born in 1933. One son, James, died of bone cancer in his teens. The two remaining children grow up to hold successful positions - Joe in the commercial gas industry and recognised as an authority, testifying on a number of occasions before Congress. Married, he had six children, all of whom are either lawyers, or engineers, or teachers and, apart from two, live in the Chicago suburbs. Joe died suddenly while on business in New York. I am in contact with Ellen, she having been over here several times and I have visited Chicago. I also keep in touch with Joe´s granddaughter, Rebecca, who is just going up to college.

| 3947 | The following was found in a book called 'Swaledale - Its Mines and Smelt Mills' Mike Gill, Landmark Publishing, 2nd Ed 2004, Ashbourne, Derbyshire. ISBN 1-84306-131-7'. I believe the smelter named Ralph Warde is one and the same as this Ralph Warde, born about 1618. "The site of a second mill is revealed in a sale of land at Orgate to Robert Willance in 1614. It is not clear who built that mill, but for convenience Tyson called it Willance's Mill. When Willance died in 1616, his estates including the mill, passed to his nephew, Brian Willance. The latter's daughter and heiress, Elizabeth, married Doctor John Bathurst in 1635. He worked at the Arkengarthdale Mines, first under the Commonwealth (1649 - 1653) and then under a lease from the Citizens of London from 1654. Ore was carried from shafts, chiefly around Windegg, via Gun Nest to Willance's Mill. Here two smelters, (Ralph Warde and John Taylor) were paid 10s 6d for each fother of lead they produced plus 2d for weighing it… .´´ A John Taylor close to Ralph's age in the area was one John Taylor b. in Forcett, 01 Jan 1620, son of William of Ovington. Another quote taken from http://sometimes-interesting.com/2015/03/22/orewinners-and-deadmen-lead-mining-in-swaledale/: "The smelters were the highest paid men in the mining operation as it required considerable experience to be able to produce good quality lead. The men doing it may not have been aware of the chemical terms for what they were doing, but it was quite sophisticated chemistry that they were performing, first turning the ore into lead oxide, and then adding carbon to remove the oxygen to produce the finished metal. They controlled everything: lighting the furnace, choosing the type and amount of fuel to use, and the casting of the lead pigs at the end of the process." ----------------- Ralph Warde is also mentioned in the book 'A Dales Heritage' by Marie Hartley and Joan Ingilby, in chapter 2 'Two Seventeenth-Century Lead-Mine Proprietors' describing the entries in the business account books, in 1657, of Dr.John Bathurst, manorial lord, and the owner of Clints mine: ``The accounts are complicated by the borrowing which prevailed. Almost everyone, including the smelters, was in debt. For instance, although the partners at the White Gang had raised 247 ½ loads of ore, they were only paid for 225 ½ . The twenty-two loads deducted cancelled out previous debts, and 'Clear' is now written at the bottom of their column of figures. A further list of individual miners record debts ranging from shillings to £ 2 8s. 8d., and one of the smelters, Ralph Warde, owing £ 3, had paid off part leaving him still owing £ 1 15s... The rate for the smelters was 10s. 6d. For smelting a fother and 2d. a fother for weighing. Between them they received £ 39 16s. 3d. During the year. Ralph Warde also chopped wood and the other smelter, John Taylor, built up 'Orgait house in Clints ground which was burnt' for £ 1 2s. 6d.`` __________________________ Other entries re baptising and burial of Ralph's children are, unfortunately, illegible. Here is another quote from a book that may apply to Ralph's widow: "The restoration of the monarchy brought in the 'Hearth Tax' - (two shillings on every hearth in order to provide Charles II with some revenue. The only apparent extant record for the area is 1672. It shows that the Widow Warde was exempt." ____________________ He was still alive in 1665 ... "It is known that Marske has suffered in 1665 when stringent measures were enforced to keep George Mason and his family in quarantine for forty days. (NR Yorks Qtr Sessions Records Vol VI). Under the direction of the constable six men maintained a day and night watch at Mason's home because he had "…lately come from the city of London". Some of the watchers were Hutton Harrison, Matthew Smith, Ralph Ward..."He is also mentioned in the Inventory statement on the will of Thomas Horseman Hollings, Marske on the 7th Mar 1664 as owing him 10s 2d. On this document his name is spelled 'Raiph' | WARD, Ralph (I1678)
