Journal of One-Name Studies, July 2001 (Guild
of One-Name Studies)
The author
started his research in 1978 and gradually, over the years, the
name "One House" kept surfacing. Curiosity eventually
getting the better of him, he decided to investigate the mystery
of the Hulley families of Macclesfield and Rainow and the possible
connection with the Hulley families of Dukinfield.
The result
is not only this interesting history of One House from its first
recorded mention around 1166 and its sad, unnecessary demolition
in 1939 for a new house which was never built (the site today is
still as the demolishers left it) but also an undiscovered Hulley
family branch that was part of the landed gentry of Macclesfield
and Rainow area for the author's one-name study.
I found the
history of One House and some of its residents very interesting.
I was pleased to see that the author gave details of his sources
and also included the contents of an indenture, a grant of land,
will and inventory. There are also 17 pages of family trees and
a more than generous index at the back of the book.
Jane Morson
Family History
Monthly, August 2001
This is a very
good example of how to research and write a family history. It gives
an account of the Hulley family and the manor house in which they
lived for several hundred years. Mr Hulley clearly differentiates
between fact and supposition, using numbered footnotes to indicate
his sources. He also includes informative photographs and maps,
and the narrative will he interesting even to those with neither
Hulley nor Rainow interests.

North Cheshire
Family Historian (North
Cheshire Family History Society)
This is based
on an article published in the North Cheshire Family Historian in
1991 and as well as a history of One House in Rainow, near Macclesfield,
and the Hulleys who lived there for over 400 years. The book contains
16 pages of family trees for the Huoley/ Hooley/ Howley/ Hulleys
and other variants. The results of over 20 years of research, the
book is well illustrated and a must if you are related to one of
the branches of the family.

Cheshire
Genealogist and Family Historian, Autumn 2001 (South Cheshire
Family History Society)
The 'One House',
Rainow, Macclesfield, together with the Hulley/Hooley family who
lived there is the subject of this compact publication. It is interesting
and well researched. All references are identified and there is
an index, which is an essential tool for researchers. There are
plenty of illustrations, although the quality of reproduction of
these, could have been better.
The review
copy has been placed in the society library - so I just have to
buy my own copy now.
[Author's note:
Some of the illustrations have been taken from documents ranging
from 60 to over 500 years old!]
Manchester
Genealogist Autumn 2001 (Manchester
and Lancashire Family History Society)
This is the
second book under review to have been written by a member of
the society. Ray, living in the South of England, will be known
to
many
members as the coordinator of the team responsible for the
recovery of the unfilmed portions of the 1851 census covering
the Manchester
and Salford areas - information that may never otherwise
have been
available. In between these operations he has found time to
produce many articles for various journals and magazines and
here we
have
his latest presentation, the story of the Hulley family in
the village of Rainow and surrounding areas of Cheshire. Ray
has
traced his
own family back to Dukinfield not too far from Rainow and,
as references to the Rainow branch of the family kept cropping
up in his research,
he decided to try to discover a link between the two branches.
In
this he has been unsuccessful but the story of the Rainow Hulleys
turned out to be interesting enough for him to decide to
publish it, particularly for the benefit of the one name study
group
for
this name. After discounting any connection of the name to
a similar one referred to at the end of the thirteenth century
he suggests
that the earliest reference occurs in 1488. This reference
also mentions Knolle House, which may have been an alternative
name
for
the One House although the latter had been first mentioned
around 1166. The name 'One House' is certainly unusual and may
possibly
have been a corruption but no evidence of this appears to
have been
found during Ray's research. From this point on we are presented
with a detailed description of the rise of the family both
in affluence
and influence over the centuries. At the peak of their fortunes
a father and two of his sons had successively held the position
of mayor of Macclesfield and some time later, when the estate
was
advertised for sale, it consisted of the house plus five farms
with a total acreage of over 250. Many other families are
mentioned in
the text and included in the index as also are those shown
on the family trees, which occupy 17 pages. There are a dozen
illustrations
of various aspects of the story and, as well as its interest
as
a narrative, the book displays an excellent example of the
way in which family history research should be carried out
in order
to
result in a proper product. W.B.
