52	UMBALLA , or AM$See also: . Umballa owes its importance to a large military cantonment which was first established in 1843, and is the headquarters of a cavalry brigade belonging to the Northern army . The cantonment, which lies 4 M.town, is well laid out with broad roads shaded by trees . It contains a church, a club house, several hotels and English shops . The DISTRICT OF UMBALLA has an area of 1851 sq. m . With one small exception it consists of a level alluvial plain, sloping away gradually from the foot of the and lying between the rivers Jumna and Sutlej . These rivers do not materially affect the district, which has a drainage system consisting of the numerous torrents which pour down from the hills . In. the south these torrents run in broad sandy beds scarcely below the surface of the country, and vary from 200 yds. to 1 m. in width, until, at a distance of 20 or 30 M. from the hills, they become comparatively docile streams, with well-defined clay banks. Towards the north the torrents run in deep beds from the point where they debouch from the hills; they also differ from the streams of the south in being free from sand . The principal of these northern streams is the Ghaggar, intc which the minor streams empty themselves, some within and some beyond the limits of the district . Whatever surplus water of this river is not swallowed up by irrigation passes on through Patiala state and Sirsa, and is finally lost in the sands of Rajputana . The Ghaggar is the only perennial stream within the district, but dwindles to a tiny rivulet in the dry season, and disappears altogether beyond the border of the district . In 1901 the population was 8i5,88o, showing a decrease of 5.6 % in the decade .	Charles BEER

62	I have a lot of his letters to my father over the war period and also the telegram from Marion informing his family of his death in a flying accident and his military funeral in Zaragosa. I also have copies of his all his military record and correspondence held at Kew. His business in Spain, based in Madrid where he had a flat, was aerial publicity - mainly throwing leaflets out of a plane on to the towns below and also flying at night with illuminated advertisement signs on the wings! He was also trying to get contracts to deliver post and newspapers. His first wife was called Beatrice and was, according to Doris, beautiful and several years older than Jack, and apparently even more flighty than him. He got married without informing his family. Beatrice was preganant and Jack was not sure the baby was his but agreed to it being registered under his name but started divirce preoceedings. When the baby girl was born Jack's mother refused to take care of it for him and took it to Manchester where she was still well connected and had it adopted. The whole buisness was hushed-up by the family. Doris recounts that she was accosted many years later by the woman then grown up wanting to know why a well-off family had given her away for adoption!

63	The name Tessimond was used as a second forename for several children in his mother's family. The Tessimond surname name originates in the north of England. Army Service John Tessimond Collier's Division was established in September 1914 as part of Army Order 388 authorising Lord Kitchener's Third New Army, K3. The units began to assemble in the area of Eastbourne and Seaford, with the artillery at Lewes, from September 1914. The Division remained in these areas, other than when the infantry moved for two weeks entrenchment training to Maidstone in April 1915, as it was trained and equipped.The Division crossed to France in early September 1915, all units being concentrated near Flesselles by 9th of the month. But the stay in France was to be very short .On 27 October 1915, the Division, having been moved by train to Marseilles, began to embark for Salonika. It completed concentration there in November, although the final artillery units were still coming in as late as 13 December 1915. The 22nd Division remained in the theatre for the rest of the war.

65	Notes on divorce Until 1971, divorces were granted on the basis of the bad behaviour of one or other party. Divorce by mutual consent was not allowed, and if the parties colluded to obtain a divorce, the court would refuse to grant it. A man could divorce his wife for adultery, and she would not be entitled to any maintenance, as a consequence of her bad behaviour. The husband might even sue the other man for damages, and for the costs of the suit.	Marian Mary Pamela COLLIER

81	Richard died on 16 April 1381, leaving three sons, John, Robert and Henry. Gilbert de la Legh died after his brother and left a widow, Alicia, but no children. When Alicia died in 1388 there was an inquiry called an inquisition post mortem. Such an inquiry was always taken after the death of a tenant in chief (that is a direct tenant of the crown) but not all of the records have survived. The purpose was to establish what lands were held and who should succeed to them. If there was no one to inherit the land, it was reclaimed by the crown. In this case, Richard's son John inherited. The feudal system required the lands be held by one person and not be dispersed among many. This made it easier to enforce the obligations that came with the lands. The rule adopted was that of primogeniture, the eldest son inherited.The lands John inherited included the manors of Hapton and Birtwisle and two parts of the manor of Tounlay together with various buildings and land in Cliviger, Worsthorne and Briercliffe cum Extwistle. In 1381, the third part of the manor of Towneley inherited by Agnes, the sister of John's grandmother, had been released to John by her descendants and so in 1388 one person again held the whole of the manor. Richard de Tounlay's descendants all took one or another of the variations of Towneley as their surname. Robert and Henry are recorded as chaplains but Robert appears to have had a son called Henry Towneley of Dutton.	Gilbert DE LA LEGH
82	Michael, the head stock-keeper of the Accrington vaccaries in 1296 and later.	Michael DE LA LEGH
83	The suggestion that the Towneley family were descended from Spartling, the first Dean of Whalley on record, seems to have been first made by Thomas Dunham Whitaker in his History of Whalley published in 1801. It was based on a 14th century document called the Status of Blagbornshire drawn up by the monks of Whalley Abbey. Farrer pointed out that the early descent of Towneley was far from clear and identified Michael de la Legh as the earliest person whose descent can be shown with any certainty. The original grant of lands to Michael de la Legh is now in the Towneley file at Lancashire Record Office.	Michael DE LA LEGH
84	Towneley According to the usual source, in 1200 England King John granted land Towneley — meaning field belonging to the town — to Roger de Lacy, a Norman landowner and constable of Chester. Roger, in turn, turned a portion over to his son-in-law Geoffrey, Dean of Whalley. By 1236, a grandson of Geoffrey inherited the land, married his cousin the widow Cecilia and recombined the two estates and the gene pool. A Towneley married a Warner and moved to Virginia. Another married a Smith and did the same. Officially, the Towneleys in 2009 are well enough summed up by explaining that the name in the family is long since gone and that Towneley Hall, some six miles off the M65 southeast of Burnley, Lancashire, has been a museum since 1903. From the mid-13th century onward, it was the family home, with a Gothic window added about 1460, and in the early 1800s a Regency wing adjacent to the lower floor's six-foot thick mediaeval walls.

85	In 1382 John de Towneley had married Isabella, daughter of Mathew Rixton and had a son Richard. John died in 1399 and again the records survive of an inquisition post mortem held after his death. The inquisition showed John still had all the lands inherited from Gilbert and Alice and confirmed Richard was the heir to his father's estates but as a minor he would not take possession of the estate until he came of age. The inquisition recorded that Richard was born on 14 May 1387 at Stydd Chapel in Dutton and baptised at Ribchester Church. He proved his age and inherited the estate in the 10th year of King Henry IV (1408-9	Richard DE TOWNELEY

87	Maud's second husband was a Frenchman who taught in a school in Manchester and had pretensions - unrealised - of being a novelist. His name was Jean Estradie (with acute accent on the e). He was cordially disliked by both Jack and Doris who had adored their father. They moved from Manchester to Walden, Hants where they started a chicken farm. They had a daughter, Alys, who eventually settled in the USA. I only met her once when she visited the UK in the '80s - she was great fun.	Jean Elie Rene ESTRADIE

93	Ightenhill Park & Reedley Hallows, until about 1860, were in the parish of St.Mary Magdalene at Clitheroe. Baptisms & burials took place at neighbouring parishes, such as Burnley, Padiham or Colne but the marriages of couples, who both lived in Reedley or Ightenhill, took place at Clitheroe. The boundary of Reedley Hallows with Burnley has changed twice during the 19th century - first from "Duke Bar" to "Queensgate" and then to its present position. St.Andrew's Church (BUR.CE.05) was for a time in Reedley Hallows before the boundary was moved. 2 ADDR Ightenhill Park 3 ADR1 Ightenhill Park Scans of christening record,marriage record and burial record available 1 _TITLE Notes	John FLETCHER
