Got that Friday feeling #beeroclock #rivington #armyofdarkness #woodfordreservedoubleoaked

I think I've tracked down the 17th-century deed from when my likely ancestors owned farms called Higher, Middle, and Lower Derbishires in Rivington, Lancaster, England. Now I just need to wait a few days for an archivist to take it out of the box and scan it. Exciting!

If only I could report as much progress on all the practical modern-day things I needed to achieve this weekend.

Does anyone know what a hulyer or hulyor is within the context of a 17th-century Lancashire village?

I'm looking at a list of people who took the Protestation in Rivington in 1642. One of them could be my ancestor. His name is John Darbyshier. The other's name is Richard Hulyor. The occupation of both is listed as hulyer or hulyor.

Edit: Problem solved. See end of thread.
