Note: LAWRENCE DUXBURY of GREAT HARWOOD - MID 16th CENTURY
Lawrence DUCKESBURIE gent. was assessed for lands in Harwood Magna to a Subsidy in 1570, by his first wife Agnes (who died in May 1594).

He had a daughter Elizabeth baptised at Whalley 26 November 1568. His eldest son and heir Nicholas is thought to be the one baptised at Great Harwood 19 August 1579 but no parent is recorded. It is possible that some of the other unattributed baptisms are also children of Lawrence, viz: Grace 1576, Alexander 1582, Jenet 1584, Grace 1587, Mary 1590 and/or Lawrence who was buried in 1621, but there are other families in the area who could also claim them.

In 1576 Lawrence DUCKESBURIE, the father, was engaged in a law suit with Thomas WALMESLEY Esq. (Abram).

At Twiston, near Downham, in 1575, Edward BRADDYLL bought four messuages etc. from Myles ASPINALL and others. This estate was sold to Lawrence DUXBURY in 1579. In 1581 John RIDING of Oswaldtwistle sold lands to Lawrence DUXBURY of Great Harwood in the former township (VCH).

In about 1593 Lawrence gave 20s to Blackburn Grammar School Stock. He occurs again as a freeholder in 1600, and was taxed for his lands to a Subsidy in 1610 (Abram).

The Manor Court Rolls for the Honour of Clitheroe record a Rental in 1608/09 at Goldshaw for Nicholas DUXBURY in the sum of £1-14-7d (Farrer). Lawrence by this time would be an old man and must have already surrendered his estates to his married son. The status of son Nicholas as a landholder is supported by a survey of Padiham in 1617 which shows him to hold "one house of three bays and a little garden" and in the Allotment of Commons also at Padiham where he receives 22 falls in 1618 and 15 falls in 1620 (Farrer).

Lawrence DUXBURY was buried 10 September 1619 at Great Harwood. His second wife Elizabeth had died in 1597 (Abram). At the Inquisition following his death (Chetham Society Vol.16), he is found to be seised in fee (ie principal tenant of the Lord of the Manor) of 6 messuages, 4 cottages, 6 gardens, 6 orchards, 30 acres of land, 10 acres of meadow, 30 acres of pasture, 6 acres of wood, 20 acres of heath and briar, 30 acres of moor and 30 acres of moss in Twiston and of 1 messuage, 2 cottages, 9 acres of land, meadow and pasture in Clayton.

The Twiston estate is sub-let; one half to Henry & Elizabeth DEANE for the term of their lives from 1601/2, and the other half to Margaret and Dorothy SPENCER or their assigns for 21 years from the expiration of a previous 21 year lease granted to Richard SPENCER in 1584/5. The Clayton estate is sub-let to Nicholas WADDINGTON and his assigns for 21 years from 1610/11. The reversion in all cases is to Lawrence DUXBURY and his heirs for ever.

The 1619 Inquisition names Lawrence's eldest son and heir as "Nicholas DUXBURY age 37" (ie born 1582, three years after the date of 1579 in the Great Harwood registers).
