96 History of the 



Booth, Wolfenden in Higher Booths and Wolfenden in Newchurch, 

 were associated together in the appointment. In the same way 

 Henheads was probably allied with Crawshawbooth, and Yate and 

 Pickup Bank with Hoddlesden, 



The order in which the different Booths stood for the appoint- 

 ment of Greaves was as follows : — Baciip, Dunnockshaw, Tunstead, 

 Loveclough, Wolfenden (including Wolfenden in Higher Booths 

 and Wolfenden in Newchurch), Goodshaw, Deadwenclough, 

 Crawshawbooth (with Henheads), Rawtenstall, Constablelee, 

 Oakenheadwood, Musbury, Newhallhey, Lenches and Hall Carr, 

 Cowpe, Hoddlesden (with Vate and Pickup Bank), and Gamble- 

 side. 



In the list of Greaves given below, the place or Booth out of 

 which the appointment was made is not invariably stated after the 

 name of the person appointed ; but by noting the consecutive 

 order in which the Booths appear, this can always be readily 

 determined. 



It is worthy of remark that in the long roll of Greaves, we find 

 all the old names which exist amongst us at present. We have 

 the Whitakers, the Ashworths, the Ormerods, the Haworths, the 

 Nuttalls, the Lords, the Rostrons, and the Holts in abundance, along 

 with others equally familiar ; and it is a remarkable fact that in no 

 instance do we find a name which has not at this time its repre- 

 sentative in the district, or its immediate neighbourhood. 



The list will be of assistance to the genealogical student, 

 in supplying or suggesting a connecting link that will enable him 

 the more satisfactorily to pursue his researches in tracing the descent 

 of any particular line. To most of the names the place of residence 

 of the person is also attached ; and it is of interest to note that in 

 very many instances, descendents bearing the same name inhabit 

 the particular locality of their forefathers to this day. The owner- 

 ship of property may also to some extent be traced from the 

 particulars which are given.
