Bilsborrow Referred to in the 1086 Domesday Book as 'Bilevurd' taking its name from a Danish King 'Billingr'. It is situated 3½ miles S.E. of Garstang on the banks of the Lancaster Canal and is a popular spot for lazy walks along the towpath or relaxing trip on a canal boat. There are many hostelries to choose from and places to stay such as Guys Thatched Hamlet and Olde Duncombe House. One of the oldest buildings in the area is Matshead Farm located beside the River Brock which was built in 1618. The oldest being the remains of a wattle & daub cottage at Raby's Farm. Nothing remains of the original Myerscough Hall or Myerscough Lodge which was the home of Thomas Tyldesley the Roman Catholic recusant who's diary portrays life between 1712-1714 in the area. The church of St Hilda was built in 1927 with money left by Jane Salisbury of Myerscough Hall, who was killed crossing the railway at Brock station during 1922.

From Simon Melville

'Lister says "Apparently the old aunts (Sarah and Martha) lived in Coley Hall at the same time as John. It seems that John had a son by Anne Firth, before marriage. This, and Anne’s humble origin (a butcher’s daughter), so upset the old aunts that they would not speak to their nephew, and used a different entrance, staircase, etc."'

Note from Simon Melville Tree

"Shown on 1851 Census as aged 9. Presumably John is the child born out of wedlock to whom Lister refers. The 1861 census shows him aged 19, born at Coley Hall. In 1871 he is still unmarried, living at Coley Hall."

Even though Ellen was listed as Calthorpe [or derivative] in the 1861, 1871 and 1881 census records she was listed as Ellen Freeman on her marriage to James Gosling. On researching the BMD records on the Genealogist we found Ellen Freeman born in the September quarter 1856, the quarter before her mother [Thursa] married Robert Calthorpe.

Elizabeth married Walter Simmonds Cartwright in Oxford in 1816.
Harriet married Richard Elkin in Oxford in 1819 .
Phoebe married James Grainger in Oxford in 1827.
Jonathan and Ann were in North Hinksey, Berkshire (now Oxon) by 1810. Jonathan ran a pub called "The Fish" and a ferry service across the river. He died in 1823 and Ann was buried at North Hinksey 22nd July 1827."

Ann Boyd is listed as 20-25 years old in Crondall, Hampshire in the 1841 census. There is a Caroline age 9, George age 1 and Thomas age 1 month. They could be her children but there is no husband / head with the family. The 1841 does not list marital state but in the 1851 census she is listed as a widow living in Basingstoke, no Caroline but 2 other children - Ann and William. Also there is listed a William Franklin at the same address. There is a marriage registration in March 1855 for Ann Boyd to Daniel Franklin.

Ann and Daniel can be found in the 1881 Basingstoke census with Charles their son age 17.

Charles Franklin is listed on the 1891 census in London with his brother William Franklin, both born Basingstoke, so it would appear that William took Daniels surname.

There is no listing in the 1861 census for any members of the family.
