Just looking back through these---what names!!! and not directly mine---Acquilla, Ewart and Nehemiah. Mostly mine are good old James and William. I shall look for the connection which I have no doubt is there somewhere.

1886 KIPPAX Nehemiah 26 July

Fascinating! This chap's one of mine. This is a very surprising amount of money that he left.

In 1877...."at the Preston intermediate sessions, the trial was resumed of John Dugdale, aged 22, charged with stealing a large quantity of woollen weft, 10,000 bobbins, and 50 skips, valued at between £500 and £600; and Roger Broughton, aged 38, and Nehemiah Kippax, on bail, charged with having received the same, knowing it to have been stolen. The prisoners were all found guilty. Dugdale was sentenced to 18 months imprisonment with hard labour, and Broughton and Kippax to five years penal servitude each."

Nehemiah was only 27 when he went to jail. I wonder how on Earth he made his fortune...?

His sister married my Great Great Uncle. He was also related to me because his father was my Great Great Grandma's brother. Be careful doing the maths on that...

Quite young when he died then...

I wonder if he inherited the mill and the wealth.
Long time no see Stephen, welcome back to the funny farm
