Thanks for all the thoughtful replies. However I don't think I have
"bottomed" this issue yet. For clarification it might be worth me giving
the years when Chorley Vestry met to nominate Highway Surveyors on 22
September.They were:-
1786-91
1793-96
1801-3
1806-8
1812-15
1817-21
In 1811,1816 and 1822 the meeting was held on 23 September. This may
have been to avoid Sundays, but I haven't checked.
I hope this inspires some further suggestions.
Many thanks,
John
