Hello all, I have a relative, Gawan (Gawin) Pinkney, b. about 1814 in Yorkshire. On the 1851 census his birth place is listed as "Leason". Could this be a pronunciation of Levisham? (You can tell I'm not from Yorkshire!). I've found the following record on the IGI: GAWAN PINKNEY Pedigree Male Event(s): Birth: Christening: 27 SEP 1813 Levisham, Yorkshire, England Death: Burial: Parents: Father: JOSEPH PINKNEY Family Mother: ANN Messages: Extracted birth or christening record for the locality listed in the record. The source records are usually arranged chronologically by the birth or christening date Source Information: Batch No.: Dates: Source Call No.: Type: Printout Call No.: Type: C108491 1813 - 1864 0990905 Film 6911136 Film Sheet: 00 And I can't find any record of a place called Leason, hence my query - but perhaps someone on the list can help me out? Many thanks Zoe

Sorry I am not helping with your actual question: but if you'd like to know there is a web site for Lockton and Levisham--perhaps if others haven't helped you then try this web site. _www.locktonlevisham.co.uk_ (http://www.locktonlevisham.co.uk) Margaret L.

I have relatives who left North Elmham Norfolk in the early 1860's moved first to Ferryhill and then to West Hartlepool there names were Tombling and Peart. One family moved to Eston to work in the mines and the remainder stayed in West Hartlepool. Another surname is Francis. I believe CFHS published information about families moving from Norfolk to Mbro. I am particularly interested in the Tomblings as it is an unusual name, am willing to share my info ----- Original Message ---- From: "eng-north-yorks-request@rootsweb.com" <eng-north-yorks-request@rootsweb.com> To: eng-north-yorks@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2008 2:05:14 AM Subject: ENG-NORTH-YORKS Digest, Vol 3, Issue 16 Today's Topics: 1.

Hi Ailsa, This looks like your James, living with his mother both born Gunnerside, Swaledale in the 1851 Census Ref HO107/2380/~F282 Lodge Green, Melbecks, North Riding, Yorkshire Pratt, Jane, Head 58 b.

We are probably looking for a needle in a haystack, but if anyone can help, we would appreciate it. My husband would like to know if anybody has any knowledge/details of a James PRATT, or the PRATT family from the Swaledale area of North Yorkshire, who may have migrated to New Zealand around 1851. He would have been approximately 31 years of age when he migrated. He married Ellen DUFFELL in New Zealand on 27 Sep 1864, and died in 1911. If anyone can access the 1841/1851 census for us, that might have some detail. Many thanks Ailsa Petrie -- Hamilton New Zealand

Ailsa, Christine Amsden has transcribed many of the census returns for Swaledale and Wensleydale, you may find what you are looking for on the following webpage- http://www.dalesgenealogy.com/census/framepage1.html Good hunting, Michele ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ailsa Petrie" <ampetrie@ihug.co.nz> To: "Rootsweb Nth Yorkshire List" <eng-north-yorks@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, January 28, 2008 12:53 AM Subject: [ENG-NORTH-YORKS] PRATT Family of Swaledale > My husband would like to know if anybody has any knowledge/details of a > James PRATT, or the PRATT family from the Swaledale area of North > Yorkshire, who may have migrated to New Zealand around 1851.

Hi Zoe, I love a puzzle and having just spent days looking at films of parish registers, my eye is in a bit, but this is a challenge, isn't it? I haven't got time to do much now, but can get further than you with the first paragraph: "On Thursday last some time in the afternoon was the last time I saw deceased alive. He was at my house/home? about half an hour. He had ....about his trial which was to come off on Friday. He had been summoned before the magistrate by his wife Mary Plews for an assault. He seemed to be somewhat...about her?? and the trial. He left us....He said.....Yesterday morning my mother came and called me out saying "I believe our David has hanged himself." I went ...John Tomlin....and we found him hanging from a ladder in the Castle. He was quite dead. He had his clothes on but one shoe was only....on. John Plews. I can read a fair bit of the rest and will send my attempts at that later, when I get more time.

the John G was John Grimes Rowntree age 3. (looked it up on births) but the other was just John Rowntree. James' brother John was given as Married living with them but no wife there. regards Mavis

On the 1871 census James Rowntree was a widower , living at Market place Leyburn with his parents, Richard and Sarah.Two grandchildren were also living with them, John aged 5 born Middlesex and John G. aged 3 born Marske.hope this helps regards Mavis

1881 Census Marske Near Richmond, Yorkshire Dwelling: Applegarth James Rowntree Head Widowed age 38 born Leyburn, Yorkshire farmer of 319 Acres - 2 men His mother sarah Rowntree is with him at the time. James married 1864 to Jane Vaughan and they had a son John vaughan Rowntree, who was christened in 1866 St, Martin in the Fields, Westminster. I am trying to narrow Jane's death time period and to find out if they had any other children. I was wondering if SKS could check the Applegarth dwelling in 1871 to see if James and family were living there at that time. Thank you for your time with this request.

Hi My first post to the list - just wondering if anyone out there is seeking information about LYNN/ SADLER/GREENBANK families? The information I have is as follows: William Lynn Born about 1760 at West Tanfield, North Yorks, married Mary (his second wife; previously had been married to Anne GILET).Wm and Mary's children were John LYNN 1782 and Elizabeth LYNN 1788 both born at Well, North Riding John LYNN married Jane ASKQUITH in 1802 at Well, North Riding. Their children were William 1808, Thomas ?1805 and John ?1805 (the latter both later employed as butchers) - all born at Well William LYNN married Dorothy GREENBANK (daughter of Anthony GREENBANK and Mary MERINTON) and they had 8 children - Jane 1829, Mary 1831, Bessy 1834, Jane b/d 1837, Dorothy b 1838, Ann 1841, John, b1843, William b 1847. Again, they were all born at Well. Dorothy died in 1849 and he married Mary HUNTER. William Lynn was employed as a shepherd. He lived at a place called Moss Cottage in 1881. John (b1843) married Margaret ? and later married Harriet SADLER (of Kirklington) at Bedale in 1892. John and Harriet's son Ernest LYNN b 1893 was my great grandfather. I am looking for any information about these families. I am also interested in Well, given that my family remained there for so many years. I have "googled" the place but wonder if anyone can give me an impression of what it is like? Also - I'm interested in what a shepherd's life would have been like in the mid 1800s (hard, I would imagine!)?? Regards Julie

Hi Listers, I hope that this is the right list but if someone has access to the 1851 Census would they please look up a BARLOW family for me, which was living in Whitby on the 1841.. There would be George (45) Mary or Mary Ann (36) possible Emma (20)but she may have died, Mary Ann (18) George (15) and Ellen (12) This family migrated to Australia in 1858. I would appreciate the help. Diane (Melbourne)
