Thank you Helen, that dose look like the same people. The family were transcribed as Field on the 1841 census in Escrick on Ancestry, I know Hield is the correct spelling though. I have a family bible passed down through the family from my grt-gt-grandmother DRUSILLA HIELD. When i first saw it spelt I thought it was German, but my grandfather pronounced it "Heeld".

Hi Ruth, That's interesting, I will let you know if i find a connection as i havn't researched that side of the family yet.

Hi, My 3 x gt.grandmother Sarah CORDUKES b. Kirby Moorside. bap 25/2/1824 married Thomas FOWLER and lived in Escrick. I believe her parents were Jonathon and Elizabeth but I have nothing else on them. I am wondering if there is a connection between your Mary and my Jonathon - brother and sister? Regards, Ruth

Scarborough is also covered by ENG-EAST-YORKS@rootsweb.com Don.

Hello, I am hoping that this is the correct list. I have been looking for GEORGE HIELD of Scarborough on the 1841 census he was a farmer but i am not sure which area is defined as Scarborough ! I haven't had any success with my search so i thought i would ask the more expearienced on this list. My HIELD's were in Chapel Haddlesy, West Yorkshire in 1841 but before that they were associated with Escrick, Willberfloss and Weldrake, I'm not sure which part of Yorkshire these parishes come under. EDWARD HIELD and MARY CORDUEX were married in Boswell Church on 19 Sep 1819 but i have been unable to find where this was. In 1845 MARY Hield and her children emigrated to America a few weeks after her husband EDWARD HIELD died and settled in Winsconsin. I have been sent a family tree which includes detailes of the journey. The family had strong connections to the methodist church, included is reference to a letter from Wesley (the methodist minister) who was a friend of the Cordeux family. MARY HIELD must have had "guts" ! ---- from the info i have received, EDWARD died of gastroenteritis but while he lay on his death bed he begged his wife to follow their plans to go to the new world! --she took with her seven children aged between 21 and 7 years old. I also have the transcript of a letter which was sent in the year 1846 to the HIELD family in America from GEORGE HIELD (not the one from Scarborough) who was EDWARD's brother, he was a farmer living at Chapel Haddlesy in West Yorkshire. He had previously farmed in 1827 with his brother Edward at Escrick where they were both born, sons of RICHARD HIELD. In the letter he mentions the GEORGE HIELD of Scarborough who i am interested in finding on the 1841 census, I would like to see where he was living and who with, I don't know his age but I'm trying to work out if he was a relative of my HIELD family, according to the letter they were at least good friends. I have searched the 1841 census without success. I'm not familiar with that area and wondered if someone on this list could let me know which villages i should be look at that are in the Scarborough area. This is an excerpt of the letter sent to his sister-in-law MARY HIELD ------------------ ------------------------------------------------- "Chapel Hadellesy Jan 26, 1866 Dear Sis and Children I duly rerceived your letter and newspaper dated Oct 27th in about 5 weeks, but had seen that you had sent to Mr Wilkerson a while before and am glad to here of your health. You have by this time felt what it is to be a stranger in a strange land but a conviction in your own mind you are in the way of Providence is a consolation. I much doubt Bro Blyth being well but I fear from an account i heard from mrs. ? he is not alive you may have heard from the family he has bought a farm near Roschester at a high price. You be much hurt to hear George Hield of Scarborough took a fever I think with much exertion when the railway was opened through excess of business his mother came to wait upon him was frequently delirious and in a few weeks died. Thomas went to see him and fret much. He died in harvest. " --------------------------------------------------------------------- GEORGE HIELD of Scarborough died in 1845 , there is a GEORGE HIELD bap Cayton by Scarborough in 1833 I would be gratefull for any info that members of the list could give me.

Dear family historians, Now that summer is approaching and the disgusting weather is keeping more of us indoors, more of us are turning to their research. We have lots of new devotees to geneology, so it is perhaps time to clear up some misconceptions about the YKS Surnames List. Do bear with me. 1. The YKS Surnames List is a totally independent, entirely free, database of Yorkshire surnames and of those who are researching these names. Some names are even entered up to 20 times with the names of 20 different researchers. 2. The list does not belong to rootsweb or Genuki, except for the fact that Genuki very kindly provides the server facilities. I also owe a special thanks to the List Administrators of the several gen lists to which I post these updates although I am not personally subscribed to them. 3. To say that it is a list is perhaps a misnomer as it is not a list in the sense that it is like the gen lists. You cannot subscribe (or unsubscribe) to the database and there are no provisions whatsoever for posting queries or answering your questions. These are not my names, so please do not ask me to do lookups for you. Any questions you have should be posted on the Yorkshire gen list(s) to which you belong. 4. Most importantly, you must read the instructions for submitting surnames and follow them to the letter. This means entering all the essential information you asked for, namely a contact name and email address. This week I deleted 4 different submissions because either the contact name or the email address was not provided. This applies to both those who use the form we provide (when your ISP accepts it) or when you send me your names in a text message. That information must appear in the body of your message to ensure that all your information is correctly entered. 5. And for those who are concerned with privacy issues, all the email addresses are encoded on the index to protect you from harvesters. That is why you only see EMAIL next to a name. 6. It is up to every submitter to keep me informed of changes in email addresses. There is no form for this, you have to mail me directly. When I am informed of a bouncing email, I do a double-check and then delete every single entry with that email. This is what happened, yet again, this week. The following submitters' entries were deleted: Robert Kellett (1) bobkel@bigpond.com Sally Taylor (1) rstaylor@telusplanet.net AJL Hollis (1) AJLHollis@aol.com Richard B Gillion (25) rbgillion@aol.com (These entries were deleted because I was informed: <<< 550 rbgillion IS NOT ACCEPTING MAIL FROM THIS SENDER>>> and all my attempts to contact him at the website he provided went undeeded. Not too many but always welcome new submissions this week: BULMER KELLETT, KENNEDY PROVOST ROBINSON SPEIGHT WALKER Best regards to everyone, Magdalena -- Magdalena Gorrell Guimaraens List Administrator INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMITTING NAMES and Home Page: http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/YKSlist/ PLEASE ADDRESS ALL CORRESPONDENCE TO: ykssurnames@yahoo.com

Hello Roz When you dig out your info on the SMITH family. Can you see if there is a connection to Osmotherley (just a few miles north of Thirsk). My CHRISTON family were in the early years Roman Catholic and the SMITH name comes up a lot as sponsors/godparents at christenings. Also an early CHRISTON was married to a SMITH (around 1780). It is believed that the CHRISTON family came in as weavers from Ireland. Kindest regards.

Brian Thank you for your quick and helpful response. We are trying to trace four "missing" children ( of 13 in total) of a Scottish couple, William & Margaret Hamilton, who seemed to have moved up and down the east coast quite a bit. I will need to do some more checking but this John now looks a likely candidate, though "our" William was usually listed as a skinner not a labourer.

Baptisms in Whitby include one on 19 December, 1819, of John Hamilton, son of William and Margaret, labourer, born on 9th December. There seems to be no burial in Whitby corresponding to this John up to 1837. Nor does the marriage of William and Margaret appear in the transcripts I have in the CD of the Whitby Parish Registers from the Yorkshire Archaelogical Society. Hope this helps.

I am trying to track down the offspring of School Masters Thomas Sayer and John Sayer who lived in the Ainsty area in the mid 19th century. John Sayer ( b 1819 Nun Monkton, son of Thomas Sayer and grandson of Michael and Rebecca Sayer of Hutton Bonville) worked as a schoolmaster at Hutton (1841) . John's younger brother, Thomas (b 1829), was also a schoolmaster, indeed at one point they ran a school together at Skipwith (1851). Both John and Thomas were still unmarried in 1851, but one of the pupils at Skipwith school was 12 year old William Volans, and interestingly John married his older sister, Ellen Volans, at Selby in 1854. The couple went on to have at least 3 children at Nether Poppleton near York but no record of John and Ellen can currently be found after 1861. John's brother Thomas Sayer moved on to run an establishment on his own by 1861 at Heworth, Yorkshire, and married Esther Appleton (1873). He died 1893 at Harrogate. I believe that only one of John and Ellen's children ,survived to adulthood Thomas Sayer (b 1859 Nether Poppleton). He appears to have done well for himself - the 1881 and 1891 census returns note that he was a manufacturor of steel pins. Thomas married Clara Cox (1886 Bradfield?). No record can be found of Thomas and Clara in the 1901 census. Do any of these names ring a bell, do you have any more information on any of them or their descendents?

Hello Listers Is any kind soul able to do a Parish Record lookup for me. I am interested in the full details recorded for the baptism of Anne HAMILTON christened 21 April 1825 in Kirkleatham, Yorks. Father probably William HAMILTON and mother probably Margaret. I think it likely that Anne died in infancy so a search for a burial record in the same parish would be appreciated too. Thanks Ian

Margaret, You may already have this. . Topcliffe records go back to the 16c. Burial records do not always give the address, usually just the parish. Next time I am in Northallerton records office I will have a look for you.
