What an interesting surprise I got when browsing through the Guisborough Bookshop on Saturday. Not only is this one of the very best bookshops I have seen for local and family history, but it had on display this new book by our old friend Beryl Bass. I'm not sure if Beryl is still subscribed to this list, but we all remember Beryl from Yorksgen 2000, and somewhere along the line I missed the fact that she was publishing this Index. (Beryl can be contacted at buttercup@dccnet.com It is a unique index to the well known book 'The history of Cleveland' by Rev John Graves, who turns out to be Beryl's 3 x great grandfather. Priced at £9.99 it gives a wealth of information. It lists all the clergy of the Langbargh Wapentake, together with 122 large pages of entries. To give you an idea, here is one for Elizabeth Agar: AGAR page 288 Richard and Matthew AGAR owned the cell and lands adjoining Coatbank Lodge, Parish of Egton and of course there had to be one for Roy: STOCKDALE page 260 George Stockdale 1598 Rector of Kildale It is not just a listing though, for some names like WHARTON there is comprehensive information. Well recommended and I think they are now in short supply so I would recommend a quick email to books@guisboroughbookshop.com Best wishes Glenys in the Yorkshire Dales www.bishopdale.demon.co.uk Web site for the Upper Dales Family History Group Seeking CUMPSTONs everywhere
