Heaton Land Tax (1780 - 1831) Robert Tonge and John Longworth

Heaton Land Tax (1780 - 1831) : Records relating to the properties of Robert Tonge and John Longworth in Heaton

Notes:

Robert Tonge first appears in 1794, leasing property from Starkie. At this point he would be 17 years old (he died leaving a will in 1831, and was buried at Deane being recorded as 54 years old - giving a birth date of about 1777).
Robert Tonge married Mary Longworth in 1802, daughter of John Longworth of Old Harts.
John Longworth died in 1813 and left a will
When his father-in-law died, Robert Tonge seems to have been responsible for both his original property and Old Harts. After a few more years, he seems to move into Old Harts, and then his old property is occupied by John Bardsley until 1830 when John Markland junior takes over.
Ralph Tonge, Robert's son, appears in 1831 occupying the farm known as Harwoods (presumably named after it's previous occupier John Harwood). He is still there on the 1841 census.
What was Harwoods farm is now part of Bolton Old Links golf course. The building which stands where Harwoods used to be looks to be used as a store house for the golf course, and has a date stone 1896.
