William was a Butcher in Gold Street, Northampton and, later in life, a farmer in Great Creaton, Northamptonshire.

 William Liddiard died 29th March 1848. I am having great difficulty finding the ancestors of Elizabeth Ann Liddiard, my Great Grandmother. Hopefully this and other Liddiard wills will help sort them out.

In this transcript of statements given to the Prerogative Court of Canterbury [ ] indicates that I have not managed to decipher what is written there. Thomas's will was challenged by his eldest son, Thomas, so these statements were made confirming that the will was valid.

I have transcribed this will. For ease of referring to original, line breaks are as on the original and page breaks from the original are marked by blank lines. Round brackets are as in the original but square brackets are round items I could not read. Thomas was the eldest son of Thomas Major of Stockbridge.

Following are excepts from indenture for purchase of land in Hanslope, Buckinghamshire 10th August 1717.

William Greene is thought to be William Green I2589 on family tree, who died in Kingsthorpe in 1749. Samuel Green is thought to be William's son.

 I have obtained a lot of data on Land farmed by Greens in Kingsthorpe but, as yet, I haven't found  maps to show where the land was.

In 1883 the vicar of Kingsthorpe created a list of old documents, and excerpts from some, in a book called:
Kingsthorpiana or Researches in a Church Chest
I have extracted all mentions of the name Green from this book. I have also included early Greens from the Kingsthorpe parish register.

If anyone has any more information on early Greens in Kingsthorpe I would be very grateful if they could contact me.
