I am doing some research into the life of Rev. James Dalton [1831-1862] only son of Cecil Wray Dalton. First vicar of Grewelthorpe. Some records state that Cecil was vicar from 1847 others from 1858. He was living in North Stainley 1851/61 and the parsonage 1871. Are any details known of his posts or occupation from becoming Curate of Dinsdale in 1831 to becoming vicar of Grewelthorpe.
Your help appreciated.

In response to Neil Howlett’s request for information about Beggar Bush I have placed a map of Grewelthorpe on the history site.

I am researching the place name “Beggar’s Bush”. I note that the 1915 Directory records “Thompson William . . . Farmer . . . Beggars Bush Farm.” I would be grateful for any other information about this entry. Where is it ? Is this now “Bush Farm” ? Are there any other records of this name ? Many thanks.
