Scope and content
Penistone near Sheffield. - Assures Houghton that 'the purpose for which we require the Register of Baptisms [at Bullhouse Chapel, see HOUG/AB/9/9] has no reference whatever to your Lordship's family or estate', but to an 'old and respectable family named Greaves' who for several generations owned a farm called 'Reynel, Renall and Ranah about a mile from Bullhouse'. Asks that 'If the Pedigrees to which your Lordship refers have any reference to the said Greaves family' they may be allowed to consult them and take extracts of the relevant parts.
