Notes

See also JA16859 for a group of enslaved people previously owned by Jane Rome and brought to this estate when she inherited the property from John Rome c. 1823.

This estate is clearly linked to Bellfield in Manchester, which may have been created when John Rome's property was divided up after his death.
