Grewelthorpe

Have you any information about the Parnaby family? I am trying to find out where they arrived from befor they lived in Sawley from 1700.

Althouth trying to trace my Barker ancestery, I have been sent the following information from a collaborative member on the site I use because we do have an Ingleby in the family.

I am informed that there was a John Ingleby born 1809 in Kirkby Malzeard who married an Alice ? and who had the following children betwen 1837 – 1849.

Hannah 1837, Harriet 1841, Annas 1842, Willis 1845, Alice 1847 and Eliza 1849.

I am not sure if this will assist anyone but you never know. However, if there is anyone out there who can help me with my Barker/Cundall connections (Dallowgill, Kirkby Malzeard,Grewelthorpe, Knott Farm)and surrounding area, I would be very grateful to hear from them.

I am a descendant of George Metcalfe & Mary Imseson. I have Jonathon Imeson’s parents as Matthais Imeson & Hannah Wood.

dougills lived at Dougill House PB and had a quarry. Haxbys still in Hampsthwaite area, may be a good idea to find and contect them.

I am researching the Harrison (1821 born Winksley) family from Winksley. George Harrison married a Sarah (born 1827 Laverton) who I think might be a Clark but I can find no details of Sarah’s parentage. Any information would be gratefully received. Most of their children, including Clark Harrison are shown on this site.

I am related via my mothers, Allinson, side of the family via Edward Allinson 1791, son of Robert 1767, William 1738, William 1707. Would love to connect to any other person researching the Allinson line to share informatiion

I am interested in Thomas Dalton Harrison, born Aldborough 1817 died 1874, he was a clergyman in the Yorks area all his life from what I have found.

I would love to know if there are any descendants or family members alive today. I know that one a son died at 32 years old, and his daughter
Frances was a spinster, but he did have another son called Ernest R. W. Harrison, but I can’t find out anything about him!

Thomas’ wife was called Elizabeth McRobb or MacRobb – she was the adopted daughter of my much loved 4 x Great Grandfather, Admiral Sir Robert Barrie,
she was raised by him and his wife Lady Julia Ingilby from a very young age as her parents had died in Canada, they were great friends of the Barrie’s who lived
out there during that time as Robert was the commissioner for the British Fleet in Canada. Lizzie, as she was affectionately known came back to England with the
Barrie’s and lived her life here until her death.

I have been trying to find Lizzie for 4 years on census returns etc, I have copies of family writings where she was mentioned with much love, but I could not find
her due to misspelling, I eventually found a thread, when I found her with her Barrie sisters, in Miss Christies School, Sloane Street, Chelsea in the 1841 census.

My interest is purely to find any living relatives to Lizzie out there who may not of known of the amazing life she led, and I do hope to maybe learn new things about
her too.

Yours truly,

Jennifer Treadwell

I am trying to find information relating to the THORPE family who lived in Grewelthorpe. I know that a Thomas Thorpe was baptised on 14th June 1772, his father Edward on September 9th 1739 & his father also named Edward on 9th November 1706. Does anyone have any further information relating to the family. In particular I am interested in knowing if Thomas had a brother by the name of Joseph or William.
Thank you

Thanks,

I am trying to trace the marraiges & deaths of the above + any previous generation I know nothing of.

I don't know anything about the John Spence who lived in your area but Robert Spence was born in your area in 1784 and his son John Foster Spence was also a Mayor but in North Shields. I’d be interested if anyone know more about him

My name is Fern (Jackson) McKenzie and I am researching my Jackson family tree. I am the great-great granddaughter of William Jackson. He was born in 1792, at Penrith. He was educated at Oxford, and left for Canada in the early 1800’s. He was fortunate enough to receive some legacies, and returned to England to collect them.(1847) I read a copy of a letter received by him from his cousin, W Robson, informing of the death of his uncle. He spent most of his life in Canada, and as a matter of fact, I grew up in the home that he built when he came to Canada. I am unaware of the date of his death, or where he is buried. Does anybody know his death date and where the burial site is….. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who can help…….Kindest regards, Fern McKenzie Contact fern_researcher@hotmail.com

My name is Jim Jackson and I live in North Lincolnshire. I am currently researching my family tree and have traced back my family name to Masham.

Unfortunately for me, none of my Jacksons appear on your website.
The furthest back I can get with certainty is to my Great Great Great Grandfather John Jackson (born abt 1800), a Butcher of Silver Street. I also have his marriage certificate giving his father as John Jackson, a Farmer, and a witness of Jane Jackson. I have a Baptism record of a John Jackson in 1801 with John & Jane as parents so I’m confident as to his parentage. Farmer John & Jane appear to have had nine boys from the same Baptism records but I cannot be sure that they are the same John & Jane in each case!

If you can help me in any way progressing my research I’d be most grateful and likewise, if my findings are of interest I’d be happy to share.

Researching my family line, William Rawson, b. 1794 Kirby Malzeard and Elizabeth Spence, b. 1799 Kirby Malzeard. Pleased to share or gather any information.

I noted your web page on the Thirkill family. I am related through Thirkill Dougill, born 1796 died 1845 at Pateley Bridge who married Mary Kidd.

I note you had his parents as Haxby Dougill and Elizabeth Thirkill.

I an trying to track the parents of both Haxby and Elizabeth but not clear on your web page? Do you have any detail about the parents of either Haxby or Elizabeth?

Many thanks

Phil Jackson

Thirkill Dougill’s grandson, John, moved to Darlington and then migrated to Australia in1882. Unfortunately many of the Dougills that migrated or were born here died with only 1 daugther and John surviving the first 20 years in Australia.My grand mother was Esther Annie Dougill.

i am trying to trace my mother who was betty wright who was a domestic servant at primrose cottage grewelthorpe in 1938.can anyone help.thks

I am trying to find out what happened to Thomas Swales born 1770 in Grewelthorpe. His parents were Francis Swales born 1744 in Crayke and mary Knowlson born 1744

My grandmother, Mary Cresswell had an illegitimate son, Albert on 27th June 1926 at Cross Hills, Dallowgill. I have traced a birth certificate for him, which gives his father as John Bayles, a shepherd of Cross Hills, Dallowgill. John was a widower, with two children from his marriage, John George and Mary Jane Bayles. Mary Jane married William Burrill who was born on 7/11/1908 at Dallowgill. William’s father was Peter Leonard Burrill, shown on the marriage certificate, he was deceased at the time of the marriage on 18th February 1939.
I don’t know any more about John George Bayles, other than he was born in 1915 in Weardale where the family were living.I’m interested in finding out if there are any relatives of Mary Jane or John George in the area, or can anyone help with any more information, I’d be really grateful for anything, no matter how small!
Also does anyone know if there is a headstone for John Bayles at St Peter in Dallowgill as that’s where he is buried.
Mary

I have found your Grewelthorpe family history page fascinating and extremely useful. Can I perhaps give something back by offering the following additions?

You mention ‘John (Beck) the miller & Elizabeth’ – these are my great great grandparents. John’s wife, Elizabeth, was born Elizabeth Chandler in 1809.

Elizabeth Chandler was the second of 5 children born to Henry Chandler and his wife Ann Wood, who were married in Kirkby Malzeard on 22 Nov 1806. Their 5 children, all born at Springhall Farm, Grewelthorpe, I believe, are:

Ann Chandler bap. 15 October 1807, Kirkby Malzeard
Elizabeth Chandler bap. 16 April 1809, Kirkby Malzeard. She died on 20 February 1868, of apoplexy.
Jane Chandler bap. 24 May 1812, Kirkby Malzeard
Mary Chandler bap. 7 Jul 1814, Kirkby Malzeard. She married William Leathley (b. 1819, Kirkby Malzeard) in 1841, and they had 7 children between 1842 and 1856, the last one was born in Bradford, the earlier ones in Kirkby Malzeard or Grewelthorpe.
Henry Chandler bap. 2 May 1819, Kirkby Malzeard

Elizabeth Chandler gave birth to a daughter, Alice, who was baptised in West Tanfield on 18 December 1836. I have not found John and Elizabeth’s marriage, but since Alice was baptised as Alice Chandler, I guess John and Elizabeth were not married until 1836. Alice is listed in censuses as Alice Beck, so was clearly brought up as John Beck’s daughter. However, when she was married to John Brown in 1855, it was as Alice Chandler . So it is probable that her father was someone other than John Beck.

My great grandmother was Mary Beck b. 1841 in Kirkby Malzeard, daughter of John Beck and Elizabeth Chandler (you have her listed). She married William Hill, a coachman, on 29 August 1876 in St Olave’s Church, Marygate, York. After the marriage they went to live in Greystoke, Penrith, where my grandmother, Elizabeth Hill was born on 7 November 1878, and then by 1881 they were living in London, where their son, William Hill, was born in Peckham on 11 May 1886.

I hope this may be of use to someone.

This is an incredibly long shot. I’m working on some verbal family history, that so far I haven’t been able to varify. Maybe some of the story will ring a bell….or not.

My grandfather John Dent born 1900 had a total of 3 illigitimate children prior to marrying my grandmother. He lived in Cundall and Winksley, and the births of the children appear to have been registered in Ripon.

The story goes that he got the neighbouring farm girl pregnant, according to Free BMD and Irene C Burrill was born in 1926, which would be about the correct timing. A living relative thinks the parents took the daughter and her child to Scotland where she married a Robertson. She also believes the child was called Irene but can’t remember the mother’s name. Grandad later went on to have another daughter called Irene and a son called John, then my dad also called John.

After starting this genealogy journey I’ve been surprized by some skeletons.

Please contact me if you can help.

I have recently started researching the history of the Harland family. I know of a couple of ancestors being from Patrick Brompton and at the weekend, whilst visiting the church yard there, came across a gravestone of Robert Harland from Grewelthorpe. Unfortunately wear on the stone surface had removed the date but from his wife Agnes’s age (1789-1847) I estimate his dates to be in the region of (1789-1822). Does anyone know of any Harland’s of Grewelthorpe?

I am looking for the descendants of George THIRKILL and his siblings. Their name is on the big bell in St Andrews Church, Kirkby Malzeard. I am also looking for the Kirkby Malzeard branch of the family which moved to Middlesborough. Also interested in the Thirkills from Hull.
Please contact me on lucyce@btinternet.com or thro this web site.

Hope this helps to up date your Grewelthorpe history.
