Last update Jan 2013.
Thanks to Malcolm Hyman for details of descendants of John Binks. b. 1772 Scruton. He would like to hear from anyone with information about descendants of Thomas Binks. b. 1841 Ilton.
Thanks to Michael Binks who sent the following letter Dec 2012.
My name is Michael Binks I have been researching my family history for some years who were all from around the villages of Well, Snape, Marrick, Pickhill and West Tanfield.
I realise how fortunate I have been with the village of Well as it has great records, however for years I have been stuck with a birth of a William Binks born around 1769 he took over a farm around 1829 from an Edward Binks born around 1735 (relationship not known he not his father, possibly his uncle) I recently found a birth in Finghall which kind of fit in with why I had never been able to find him, in the village the Binks family go back another 3 or 4 generations which is great but I cant help feeling after all this time I have too easily jumped to conclusion to the problem. I came across the Grewelthorpe web site and thought it was great its a credit to everyone who has contributed to it, in the Binks section there is a thanks to Malcolm Hyman for his contributions, I would be grateful if you could pass on my info just on the off chance that he has come across the elusive William Binks. many thanks in anticipation for you help.
Thanks to Annie Wright nee Binks for information re the family of Christopher & Elizabeth Leckonby.
