Excerpt from Lancashire Registers II: The Fylde IIMass. In a report to his superiors in 1750 he returned the communicants in his congregation at 230. In January, 1753, he commenced the existing baptismal register. In 1767 the Protestant Bishop of Chester had a report drawn up of all Catholics in his diocese, and John Mansell alias Talbot, Jesuit priest, appears as chaplain to Thomas Clifton, Esq., the congregation being estimated at 384. In June, 1774, Bishop William Walton, v.a. - n.d confirmed 148 persons in the hall chapel. In 1783 the congregation was officially returned at 400 and on Sept. 21, 1 784, Bishop Matthew gibson, v.a. Made his visitation at Lytham and confirmed 86 persons, the number of Easter communicants in the congregation being put down at 310. Ou this occasion Fr. Richard Morgan, s.j., came over from Preston to assist Fr. Mansell. At length, enfeebled by old age, Fr. Mansell withdrew from Lytham in 1791, and retired to Walton-le-dale, near Preston, where he died June 9, 1799, aged 90. Meanwhile the Society of Jesus had been temporarily suppressed in 1773, and as the Gentlemen of the ex - Society, as they were called, gradually became reduced in numbers whilst waiting for their restoration, they were obliged to secure a locum tenens to supply the Lytham mission in the person of the Rev. William Blackoe. Before continuing the list of chaplains, however, a word must be said about a priest who lived for some time in the hall in capacity of tutor to the young squire, Thomas Clifton, born in 1728, whose father and namesake had died in 1734, and whose mother Mary, daughter of Richard, 5th Viscount Molyneux, of Seiton, married in her widowhood in 1752 William Anderton, of Euxton Hall, Esq. The young squire was sent to Douay College, where he arrived Sept. 21, 1743. In 1746 his mother or guardian sent the Rev. Thomas Emir Grimbaldston over to Douay to become his travelling tutor, and he arrived at the College on Feb. 18. Thomas Emir Grimbaldeston, or Emeric Grimbaldston as he was usually called, born June 2, 1715, was the third son of Emir Grimbaldston, of Standish, steward to Ralph Standish, of Standish Hall, Esq., and he arrived at Douay College under the care of Richard Kendall, then an ecclesiastical student, on July 11, 1730, became an alumnus Aug. 15, 1733, was ordained sub-deacon at Cambrai May 19, 1738, deacon in 1739, and priest in Dec., 1739 (douay Lists, M S Douay Diaries, p.
