- In the Parish burial records of Forcett there is a Ralph Ward of East Layton on July 31, 1658. (very close to Whashton where my Ralph Ward was a smelter)There was an Inquisition post mortem for him:Inquisitions post mortem were local inquiries into valuable properties, in order to discover what income and rights were due to the crown and who the heir should be.These inquiries took place when people were known or believed to have held lands of the crown, and therefore involved individuals of considerable wealth and status. All have been indexed, and many are published in English.Yorkshire Administrations: Folio: 98 Name: Warde, Ralph Parish or Place of Residence: East Layton Administrator: Jane, only child, wife of Thomas Calvert (probably the Thomas Calvert of Healaugh near Reeth). I ordered a copy of the original which says:"Raiph WardeThe eighteenth day ____? of Adron issued forth unto Jane the wife of Thomas Calvert the only child of Raiph Warde late of East Layton in ye county of York ____? to administer ye goods of said dec'd she being first proved by common truly to administer the same."
