Did missionary duty at Seel Street for a short time, then settled at Hindley for 27 years. His last mission was Standish. Died at Brindle, 1872. PLACID CORLETT William Corlett was born in 1807 in the Isle of Man. He came to Ampleforth in 1820. He took the Habit and the name of Placid 29 November 1824 and was professed 12 January 1826. He received Minor Orders 27 January 1827, Subdiaconate 17 September 1830, the Diaconate and Priesthood 11 and 12 July 1834. He went on the Mission in 1834, to St Peter's Liverpool. In 1836 he became Incumbent of Hindley, where he remained until 1863. In 1863 he succeeded Fr Cyprian Tyrer at Standish. He retired in 1872 to Brindle and died there that same year, September 8th. Fr Corlett had exchanged places with Fr Tyrer on condition that he, Fr Corlett, should make good a liability of more than £450 which he had incurred in erecting schools at Hindley. The two Fathers promised to do this conjointly, but were not as good as their word. See Allanson's Letters to them throughout 1863. (MS.168) It would seem from the Council Book of the North Province (MS p65), in the minutes of a Council held in August 1865, that the debt had not been liquidated even then. (MS.173) Connected?
