UNIQUE GENUINE ORIGINAL LETTER WRITTEN BY RALPH MORRIS AT LANCASTER CASTLE WHERE HE HAS BEING HELD, TO HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN ON SEPT 14TH 1706 SHORTLY BEFORE HIS EXECUTION The letter begins; My Dear Wife and Children this with my love to you my dear pray make yourself as easy as you can & keep up your heart & don't frett to make yourself ill & I hope you will find a friend in god who will be a husband to you and a father to my poor children.  I trust in heaven that all my sins are forgiven me and that god will recieve me at last into his kingdom. Whatever you do do not turn your back on your children & in a little time I hope that they will be of help to you in your old age & my dear Matty & Jenney pray be good to your mother my dear lambs & god will help you.  & when you see my two brothers pray tell them to leave the drinking & bad company for it has been my ruin........... (the above is not all that is written in this letter,  just the first bit)

 

This letter is original and in good condition for its age but it is obviously fragile.  It has become very flimsy where it has been folded and one folded section has become lose, it has a few smudged ink marks (difficult to read on the detached crease but otherwise fully legible). Until 1800, condemned criminals at Lancaster were executed at a place called Gallows Hill, on the moors close to Williamson Park As many as eight or nine condemned prisoners and their coffins would be carried in the bottom of a cart. The procession from the Castle would pass along Moor Lane and Moor Gate, stopping at the Golden Lion public house at the corner of Brewery Lane in order that the condemned prisoners could take their last drink, accompanied by their friends and relatives. Execution day also brought people from all over the North West of England out onto the streets of Lancaster to witness the hangings.

Lovely bundle of old documents relating to the Lane family of Co. Cork, Ireland. First is a handwritten letter by Daniel Lane in 1803. This is addressed to his children, explaining his will. His children are named as Samuel, John, Francis, Jane and Catherine. Second document is the very lengthy will made by Daniel Lane of the Finn Barrs, City of Cork, merchant. Mentions children and also Sarah Sandiford his sister, son James Lane, childrens grandfather Francis Beck. Seems to be dated 1819 and 1820. Several pages in length - needs close reading and some research but lots of family information. Compete with signatures and seal - in fairly fragile condition with splits along folds. Next document is an indenture dated 1869 between William Lane Jnr. and Eliza Gray Landale of Melville Place, Portabello near Edinburgh Scotland. Another very lengthy document (several pages) - also refers to Oliver and Rebecca Dowlin of Charleville in the County of Cork and James Landale of Liverpool. Lastly is a long, hand-written will by Samuel Lane of St Finn Barr's in the County of Cork. Unable to see date and this is in fragile condition. Mentions lots of family members including children Samuel, John, Frank and sisters Elizabeth and Eliza Lane. Also requests a trust for "the use of twenty-five poor Protestant residents in the Parish of St Finn Barr's to be expended in the purchase of Bread and distributed to them in St Barr's Church near the Chancel after the second service...."
