Notes:

The Kenricks had originally hailed from Woore in Shropshire, where they owned property and maintained a house, Woore Manor. They also possessed land in North Wales. Before bidding them farewell, there is one last tale concerning them that may explain why young Andrew was so anxious to leave the ancestral lands and set up home in Chester instead.
One of their other properies in the village, Woore House- now a farmhouse- was the scene of a grim tragedy, for, at an unrecorded point in the recent past, one of the daughters of the house was murdered by her brother, in pursuit of the money she possessed. It was said by the villagers that the place was afterwards haunted by poor Miss Kenrick's ghost and that a portion of the cellar had been closed off immediately after the event and never re-opened. It was said that in the cellar was a table with a bottle upon it, so it may perhaps be inferred that the murder took place with poison and that the body was hidden here...
In the early 19th century, the house passed to the Farmer family, one of whom became a noted Royal Navy captain- Horatio Nelson served as a midshipman under him. It then, in the 1870s, passed on to the Boydells, under whom the estate was split up and in the 1920s the mansion, described in a Cheshire Sheaf of the day as a 'quaint, old, ivy-covered, gabled house" became the home of the noted family of veterinary surgeons, the Storrars, who continue in that noble profession in Chester to this day
