Notes for Eleanor:  See FHL Film 0394830 Between the entries for June and July 1788, there is a note : "NB a baptism omitted of Mr. Man's daughter is noted in Feb 1796."  After an entry for 25th October 1795 there is the following: "Item: Eleanor Rankin Man, daughter of Henry Man and Eleanora - his wife was born June 13th 1788 and Baptized some day in November following by Rev. M. Whalley, the Rector, at which ceremony the Rev. George Neale then Curate was present. The proper entrance was omitted". The Parish  Register for St. Gabriel Fenchurch Street shows an incomplete record for an  offspring of Eleanor and Henry Man in Feb / Mar 1786.

Hubert Man's notes on Ann Man.  Morrice Man wrote in his diary: 'She, Aunt Ann[e] was very plain (she had a goitre) but was very witty and helped to keep the varied household together.  She always said that her epitaph should be "Here lies Anne Man who lived an old maid and died an old Man". She was described as having a face like a pug's.  She was unmarried.  Tradition has it that one night as she climbed the stairs at Halstead Hall she caught a glimpse of herself in a mirror and screamed not realizing at that moment that it was her own reflection. She was known as 'Aunt Ann'.
