Cheshire Response Books
Description
Response books, completed in ms. phonetic script, recording the answers of informants from Survey of English Dialects (SED) localities in Cheshire to the Dieth-Orton Questionnaire. Responses were recorded by SED fieldworkers Peter Wright and Stanley Ellis, and by Eugen Dieth, at Kingsley, Rainow , Swettenham, Farndon, Audlem and Hanmer. The response book for Rainow (recorded by Wright and Dieth) may have been based on Questionnaire version 4, or an early version of the published Questionnaire.

Response books for Cheshire were edited by Eduard Kolb in 1962-1963, and Michael V. Barry (Wright and Dieth) in 1965. The response books are retained in the numerical order assigned to SED localities, 7 Ch 1-6.
