The following E-mail From Mark Andrew Raises some points as to wether this is the same John M or another as the Mar Date is seven years different.
In the Library today I was doing a search through the volumes of the Thoresby Society, the main Leeds Historical Society.
I found the following on John MERRYWEATHER of Skipton which is good confirmation on a number of points.
1.Vol. with extracts from The Leeds Intelligencer 1792
no 1955 . Monday February 27th 1792
" On Monday was married, Mr John Merryweather, of Burley near Otley, to Miss WATSON . And on Tuesday , Mr Wm WHITAKER of this town, to Miss Nancy Watson, both daughters of Mr Rowland Watson, Attorney of Kighley. "
Of course we have the marriage listed but it does confirm John being of Burley.
It will be interesting if the Whitakers are the same family who were in Partnership with George Merryweather at Burley.
2. In another Vol on the same Newspaper there is an article dealing with the history of the paper and its politics 1822-33
It says it was a bitter period of rivalry between the paper, which supported the Tory cause, and The Leeds Mercury, the Whigs.
The Mercury was run by Edward Baines. They had printed an attack on Watts the Editor of the Intelligencer and there was a court case at the Spring Assizes 1824.
The article reads
" It was not Baines himself who had written the offensive remarks, but John Merryweather, auctioneer of Skipton and the Mercury's agent there "
I have a book on the history of The Yorkshire Post which mentions the case but not John M, it ended against Baines but with damages of only 1 shilling. !
I will attempt to read the reports in the files and maybe there will be other information on John and his work in Skipton for the Mercury.
There is also in another Volume " Leeds Workhouse under the old Poor Law 1726-1834 "!
a report of the visit in 1805 to " Mr Merryweather's Factory in Otley " where some 9 Leeds children were apprenticed .
This reports that the deputation of 3 churchwardens, two overseers and one trustee were
" unanimous of opinion that placing them under the care of Mr Merryweather it would be doing them a greater kindness than placing them with individuals in the town "
