Abstract
There is a notice of William Mawhood (1724–1797) in Gillow (IV. 543–4); this was included presumably because of his diary notebooks (1764–1790), which contain valuable information relating to the history of Catholicism in England during the period of the Gordon Riots. The Catholic Record Society has in preparation for issue to its members an edition of the diary covering all those matters of Catholic interest to which it refers. The editorial work on this has necessitated a study of the Mawhood family. The following pages summarise the results of that research as far as it has gone. There are a number of errors in Gillow’s account to be corrected.
