Hi All I've just come across a forgotten ASKEW in my files. The 1783 will of John KIRKBANK of Kirkbank otherwise Fellend in Whicham mentions a daughter Ann married to John ASKEW, surgeon. I assume this is the IGI marriage in 1766 (batch no. A458677). John Kirkbank was married to a daughter of my ancestor, John Dickinson of Streetgate in Lamplugh (died 1755). The will was witnessed by William Dickinson, Daniel Dickinson and John Atkinson. John Kirkbank had property in Kirkby and Castle Sowerby. For some daft reason (saving money, I suppose!), though, I just copied these minimal details rather than photocopying the will. Drat! Chris chris@dickinson.uk.net
