Carlisle Patriot November 18th 1843 Brougham Hall and Estates

Brougham Hall and Estates

During the last summer the circumstances of JOHN BIRD, of Ashton, his five sons and nephew, laying claim to this property, their taking possession of the same, their forcible ejection, and the trial which took place at the last Appleby assizes, gave rise to much excitement and interest throughout the country. However, it appears that LORD BROUGHAM will not long be allowed to remain at rest, and will again, it is understood, be called upon to vindicate his title to Brougham-Hall and the estates;  for one of another large flock of BIRDS, from Bongate, near Appleby, has lately been resident at the village of Clifton, near Brougham-hall, searching for copies of registers of births, marriages, and deaths of his ancestors, and obtaining other information, in order to perfect their pedigree and case, previous to their making a legal claim to the property. There is no question now but that LORD BROUGHAM has a good title to the estates, and it must be the height of folly for the BIRDS, or any other person, to throw away money in endeavouring to substantiate a claim to this mansion and lands............."Globe" **************************************************** Genealogists should love this article !!
