Genealogy
It is the intention to use this section as a means of helping people interested in researching their family history particularly including families from Grewelthorpe.
We have access to baptisms from 1653 to 1950 and burials from 1653 to 1996
Also census returns for Grewelthorpe, school records, electoral registers and other records gathered over the years.
It is hoped that people will come forward with further information to add to what we already have. Also we would like you to put names on the site for information you are seeking in the hope that we can find the answer for you.
The articles are being continually added to so they are worth visiting more than once.
We are always open to suggestions for improving the site and welcome your comments.

I’ve been researching my family tree and found that my great great great grandfather came from grewelthorpe a Francis Beck in the 1841 census he is aged 50 and his wife Mary 45 ( maiden name ? )have 5 children Dorothy ( who I have seen on the grewelthorpe working women aged 33 and 53 unmarried) also Robert my (great great grandfather ) who on the 1851 census is living in Knaresborough aged 30 unmarried and then in 1861 he is married to Jane and living at Bogs lane farm,
Mary born in 1828 ?
Ann in 1851 is still in grewelthorpe unmarried aged 19 and a house servant after that ?
Edward the youngest born in 1835?
We visited grewelthorpe at the weekend and went round the church graveyard but could not find a headstone with Francis Beck on.
We also noticed a Methodist church but no grave yard ?
I noticed on your web site that you have birth and burial records do I have to make a appointment to see these ?
I would very much appreciate any help or information any one has.
Thanks

I am trying to trace my great Great Grandfathers history, his name was John William Frankland born 1858 in Grewelethorpe his parents were Richard Frankland and Eleanor Wood. I think that John left home when his father remaried Maria Jackson, he came to Manchester about 1877 where he opened a Butchers Shop. there are still a few of his desendants ,with the name Frankland, living in Salford. Hope this helps to up date your Grewelthorpe history.
