If your name is Heaton (Heton), then here are your ancestors

The varying fortunes of Lancashire Families of the name
"Heaton/Heton" over 850 Years

The start of the Third Millenium A.D. would seem to be an opportune time to publish the history of a family which can be traced back through nearly nine centuries of the Second Millenium and indeed, if the conclusions of one particular researcher can be accepted, over 1000 years back, into the First Millenium also.

Over this period they spread through the whole of Lancashire society except the aristocracy; being successively, lords of the manor, knights of the realm, clergy, lawyers, merchants, yeomen farmers, successful industrial tycoons, managers and operatives, as well as sometimes becoming failed entrepreneurs, debtors, paupers and the occasional murder victim. Their undoubted prolificacy has ensured that hundreds of people in south Lancashire now bear the name Heaton or are related in some way to this extensive family.

Understandably, the number of family branches which can be followed in a work of this nature is limited but it has been possible to trace the main line over more than 25 generations.

The publication of this book results from the meticulous research carried out by a number of people over the last 100 years and now brought right up to date.

It presents a major opportunity to study the detailed history of a family with a name well known in the North West of England, from its earliest beginnings in the 12th century up to its latest ramifications at the end of the 20th century.

There are many hundreds of people, mainly still living in Lancashire and Greater Manchester but with links around the world, who have connections to this family and many thousands more whose ancestors followed a similar path in farming, domestic textile production and eventual absorption into larger scale industry as the Industrial Revolution got under way.

The way of life portrayed here, as the family fortunes rose and fell against the background of national events, cannot fail to be of interest to those whose ancestors owned or worked the land, conducted their small family businesses and then moved into the early industrial enterprises where some failed and others succeeded.

The book also contains details of branches of the family now to be found in the USA, Wales and Yorkshire, and as well as being of general interest provides exceptional opportunity for those who believe they may have a Heaton connection to follow this up.

The Author
Edmund (Eddie) Heaton was born In Tamworth, Staffordshire and spent most of his working life in the construction industry with forays into farming and tourism. His interest in family history did not blossom until all possible direct sources of information had long disappeared. It was not until his retirement in 1995 that he was able to undertake any extensive research into the history of the Heatons, resulting in his writing this book.

Introduction

The start of the Third Millenium A.D. would seem to be an opportune time to publish the history of a family which can be traced back through nearly nine centuries of the Second Millenium and indeed, if the conclusions of one particular researcher can be accepted, over 1000 years back, into the First Millenium also.

Over this period they spread through the whole of Lancashire society except the aristocracy; being successively, lords of the manor, knights of the realm, clergy, lawyers, merchants, yeomen farmers, successful industrial tycoons, managers and operatives, as well as sometimes becoming failed entrepreneurs, debtors, paupers and the occasional murder victim. Their undoubted prolificacy has ensured that hundreds of people in south Lancashire now bear the name Heaton or are related in some way to this extensive family.

Understandably, the number of family branches which can be followed in a work of this nature is limited but it has been possible to trace the main line over more than 25 generations.

Members of this family first come to our notice around the year 1140, during the reign of King Stephen. Most of the earliest written records relate to land which they owned, land transactions into which they entered, and land disputes in which they were involved. In some instances the holding of a public appointment by an individual is a matter of surviving written record but the normal household activities of a family of no particular note were very rarely recorded.

In more recent times we find more documents relating to disputes and agreements between individual members of the family and the similarity between their problems and our own becomes more marked, as also does the genuine family affection which existed in relationships which were often initially formal and a matter of family arrangement in connection with marriage.

The family can be identified as living firstly by the estuary of the River Lune, near Lancaster, where they owned the manor of Heton-in-Lonsdale from which they took their name, spelt in this way until the late 16th century. They enlarged their holdings over the next 250 years in this area of north Lancashire, holding various public appointments, and in the 13th century two successive generations of the head of the family were of sufficient substance to receive knighthoods.
Thereafter the estate was dispersed amongst several sons and no member of the family in Lancashire subsequently held a title.

Finally, on the death of the head of the family in 1387 most of the lands in north Lancashire were inherited by his two daughters and, on their marriages, passed out of the hands of the Heton family. However, two generations earlier in 1309, a younger son had been granted the manor of Heton-under-Horwich in south Lancashire by the Baron of Manchester.

This manor, which had been carved out of the former forest of Horwich, was a township in the parish of Deane near Bolton, Lanes. and together with the remnants of the Heton lands in Lonsdale formed the estate which the family were to hold for the next 260 years, and became the area in which their various descendants settled and multiplied up to the present time.

From the early 14th century until the middle of the 16th century the Hetons prospered on their lands between Bolton and Horwich, increasing their holdings by a marriage in 1398 to a Billinge heiress, which brought the manor of Birchley near Wigan into Heton ownership. Other members of the family became merchants, churchmen and servants of the king. In the 1500s a long series of disputes and litigation between various members of the family was exploited by an unscrupulous neighbour who, by playing off members of the family against one another, was able eventually to acquire the bulk of the Heaton freehold estates from the young heir in 1570.

When the freehold land passed into the hands of other families, many Heatons who had previously farmed their land as tenants, found their situation little changed and continued for many generations to occupy their lands as lessees. From the late 16th century, these yeoman farmers worked to increase the productivity of their land and conduct their domestic textile businesses.

From 1790 onwards the Industrial Revolution was launched in Lancashire by these men, some of whom succeeded and others failed. For 150 years Heaton entrepreneurs were engaged in the cotton industry in Bolton and other towns and a few are still very much involved in textile manufacture today. Although the concentration is undoubtedly still in south-east Lancashire, members of the family have moved away in small numbers throughout the whole of their history and they can now be found in many parts of the UK and abroad.

Their recent enthusiasm, during the 20th century, for trying to re-establish their connections has enabled a chapter to be included in this book which gives details of Heaton families now living elsewhere than in Lancashire.

Chapter One
Early Origins

In the early years of the 12th century, what is now north Lancashire was considered to be either part of Northumberland, because it had been within the old kingdom of Northumbria, or an extension of Yorkshire, because ecclesiastically it was within the province of York.

Less than 100 years had elapsed since the Norman Conquest had brought William I to the throne of England in the year 1066, and the area with which we are concerned had gradually become known as Lonsdale, derived from the name of its main river, the Lon or Lune. William had g iven these lands to his kinsman Roger of Poitou who had made Loncastre or Lancaster his headquarters and established his new castle there.

By 1102, however, Roger had forfeited his lands to the Crown, following his unsuccessful opposition to Henry 1., and thereafter they were always in royal hands.

On Henry's death in 1135 they passed to Stephen and then to Henry II. Stephen's reign, 1135-1154, was notable for virtually continuous strife between factions supporting the king and those supporting the other claimant to the throne, the Empress Matilda. Living through those turbulent times, at Ulverston in Furness, was a family whose head was a thane named Waldef, the first known ancestor of the family which is the subject of this book.

He had three sons, Augustine, William, and Adam and one daughter, whose name is not recorded, but who married Norman de Redman.l By him she had a son, Henry de Redman, who is recorded as entering into a charter in 1190 to pay 3 shillings a year to provide lights for St. Mary's Church, Furness. In this charter he names his uncles, William, son of Waldef, and Adam.2, thereby providing documentary evidence of the existence of the first members of the family which was to become the Heatons of Deane.

Henry held the office of Seneschal to Gilbert fitz Reinfred, Baron of Kendal, and as such was responsible for and would have been entitled to live in his lord's castles, manor houses and other residences. In 1195 Henry de Redman is recorded as being fined 120 marks (£80), a very considerable sum at that time, for joining in the rebellion of Prince John against his brother Richard I, whilst the king was away at the Crusades.

Henry was a character who could have come straight out of the pages of Sir Walter Scott's "Ivanhoe", albeit on the unpopular side, that of Prince John. However, given the circumstances of the time his attitude is perhaps understandable.

John was well known in Lonsdale, whereas Richard spent only six months in England during his 10- year reign, due to his commitments to the Crusade in Palestine and his lands in France. John, on the other hand, as Count of Mortain and later as king, proved to be a beneficent and generous overlord to the land which became..... .........
