Reference our correspondence earlier in the year re Christopher Duxbury and a possible link to Oliver Duxbury/Betty Lomax and the suggestion that I try and find Wills for Thomas, Martha and Susannah who benefited from Betty's Will.
I managed at last to visit Preston RO this week and had no success with Thomas and Martha but Susannah's Will was a little treasure chest. I will need to send away for the full copy of the Will for my records but she identified a number of her brothers, sisters, nephews and nieces. They are as follows:
My sister Peggy Fish
My niece Mary Howard
My niece Beky Leach
My niece Elizabeth Procter
My late sister Martha
Thomas Oliver & Robert the children of my late brother John Duxbury
Alice, Elizabeth, Oliver & Thomas the four children of my late brother Christopher Duxbury
Oliver Thomas Martha & John children of my late brother Oliver Duxbury
Betsy & William Oliver the two children of my sister Peggy Fish
Thomas Oliver Duxbury Mary & John Charles the four children of my late sister Alice Harwood.
From this Will there is now conclusive proof that Christopher my 2x great grandfather was indeed the son of Oliver and Betty. His four children are named as well as Elizabeth being identified by her married name of Procter.
Thank you both for you helpful suggestions as you can appreciate I am delighted with the outcome.
Thomas Barrie Moore, April 2004

Paper Manufacturer of Hall i'th Wood Bolton (Yates Duxbury & Sons)
1841 census Bolton Street OD (HO107/503/9/6)
Death notice in The Darwen News 6th May 1891
Darwen News Wednesday May 6th 1891
Death of Mr Yates Duxbury
In the death of Mr Yates Duxbury, of Hall i'th' Wood, near Bolton, there has passed away a
member of a well-known Darwen family, and one who would be familiar to those who
remember the Darwen forty or fifty years ago. Until a fortnight previous to his death Mr
Duxbury had been in his usual state of health, and the illness which has ultimately proved
fatal may be traced to what was at first regarded only as a slight cold. On Thursday week,
however, he found it necessary to take to his bed, and after this he gradually became worse.
No serious apprehensions were entertained even then by his relatives and friends until on the
following Sunday hemorrhage set in, and his death took place quite suddenly, at about
9.15pm on that day. The deceased gentleman made up his 73rd year in February last, and may
be said to have had a life-long connection with the paper trade. He was the eldest son of the
late Mr Andrew Duxbury, who formerly resided in Bolton-road, where the deceased was born
in 1818. He was the eldest of a family of thirteen children, of whom Alderman Duxbury, the
manager of Spring Vale Paper Mill, was the youngest and the present Alderman and one
sister are now the only survivors. Mr Duxbury is, perhaps, not well-known to Darweners,
except to those who are advanced in years, but his memory will be cherished by all who had
the honour of his acquaintance. Darwen was his birth-place, and he was one of whom Darwen
had just cause to be proud. It was in Darwen too, that he first entered the paper-making trade,
serving his apprenticeship at Messers Hilton's mill, which was at that time said to be the
largest of its kind in the world. After Messers Hilton's failure, the subject of this sketch, at
that time a young man with the world before him, continued for a time in the employ of
Messers Edmondson, who succeeded the Hiltons at Darwen Mill. Mr J.B. Parks, Withnell
Fold, was his next employer, and his next experience of paper-making was gained under
Messers Wrigley of Bury. He left the latter place, and afterwards became manager for
Messers Heywood, Higginbotham, and Smith of Arden, near Stockport. His next step was to
start in business on his own account, taking over the Hall i'th' Wood Mill, near Bolton. This
was 26 years ago, and although he cannot be said to have been without his "ups and downs",
his career as a business man has, viewed as a whole, been a remarkably prosperous one.
Extensions have at times been made, and some years ago the deceased gentleman acquired
the Heap Bridge Paper Mill, near Bury. Two machines are worked at the last named mill and
five at the Hall i'th' Wood, from which it will be seen that the deceased has got together a
very large business. Deceased has been twice married, his first wife being Miss Hannah Kay,
of Darwen who died about six years ago, Mr Duxbury being married for a second time at
Blackpool. His second wife is thus left a widow, and deceased also leaves four sons and one
daughter. He was the owner of Radford Mill, in Bolton-road, where two of his sons formerly
carried on the business of cotton manufacturers, but at present this mill is let to Mr John
Catlow. The deceased gentleman was somewhat prominently associated with Wesleyan
Methodism in Bolton; he was, in fact, been a member of that church for the greater part of his
life, and some eleven years ago he laid the foundation stone of the Wesleyan School-chapel in
Bolton-road. He was a staunch Liberal, but at no time did he take a very active part in
politics, and, although very widely respected, he has held very few offices of a public
character. The whole of his surviving children, with one exception, are married, and the
business will probably be carried on by his sons, Alexander and Roger, in whom hands affairs
had rested for the last three years, during which time Mr Duxbury has been residing mainly at
Blackpool and Southport. He was interred at the family vault at Darwen cemetery on
Thursday last, the Rev J.R. Immison conducting the service.
