New Year's Greetings, I'm beginning research on a new branch of my family. Would anyone know anything about a BROOKS family of Skelton near Guisbro, please? Names are: William Allan BROOKS, born 1876, possible marriage 1899 to either HODGSON or READMAN Alexander BROOKS, born 1879, possibly married 1904 Flora Stewart BROOKS. born 1881, possibly married 1907 to SAYER Robert Brown BROOKS, born 1885 Albert Ernest BROOKS, born 1889, possibly married 1908 to ALDERSON or APPLEBY James Stewart BROOKS, born 1892, possibly married 1920 to JONES FreeBDM also shows birth entries that could very well be children of these marriages, as certain names are repeated. In due course I'll get around to purchasing the relevant registrations, but if anyone can help me on the way I would appreciate it. Many thanks Ailsa Petrie -- Hamilton New Zealand

This is a very good website that tells the history of Skelton in Cleveland. It also has a copy of the 1901 census that you might find useful in tracing your ancestors. link here <http://homepage.ntlworld.com/bandl.danby/Index.html> Hope this helps Regards Linda Shaw ___________________________________________________________ Support the World Aids Awareness campaign this month with Yahoo!

Hi All, I have purchased the wrong marriage certificate It is for Ann STEPHENS daughter of Henry STEPHENS and Thomas HOLDER son of William HOLDER both of North Ormesby, Middlesbrough married at The Parish Church, in the Parish of Ormesby August 1869 Do they belong to you? Regards Val

Hi, I have recently added a fair bit of information to my website which may be of interest to others in this group, including more probate records, parish register extracts and notes from PRO records such as chancery suits..... link here <http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/dhking/index.html> Although the main focus is Porritt & Prissick (all spellings) there are also now a significant number of personal names from N Yorks/Cleveland, especially for the 18 century, and the site has recently been updated with a full search facility. As always, I would be very interested to make contact with others with common interests. Dave

I was interested to read Laurel Sayer's message about the Metcalfe/Sayer connection to Hood Grange in Yorkshire. I am trying to establish a connection with this branch of the Metcalfe family and my own. I can confirm is that the Metcalfe family of Hood Grange were definitely Catholics, and for this reason they lost their lands in about 1598-1600. Gilbert Metcalfe, who was head of the family at the time had purchased properties in various other parts of Yorkshire in anticipation of the impending eviction. The information as I have it is as follows:Eldest son George moved to Bedale, Anthony moved to Stanwick near Richmond, and John to Tanton near Stokesley. Other children were Leonard, James and Agnes, about whom I have no further information. I have a copy of John's will, but I don't know if one exists for Anthony. I hope this may be of some use in your research. Regards Graham Metcalf

At long last, I am making plans for a trip to Yorkshire in early July so I can visit the towns that are part of my Dobson heritage. Tentative dates are July 5th to July 13th. Biggest questions now are travel and accommodations. I'll be coming off a week-long stay in Rotterdam, so affordability is an issue. And I don't drive, so I'll be totally dependent on public transportation. Any recommendations for affordable places to stay? I want to hit Redcar, Thirsk, Osmotherley, and Northallerton for sure. ===== Betty Dobson InkSpotter Publishing http://inkspotter.com Ask a question on any topic and get answers from real people.

Greetings for the New Year, I have received a death registration that indicates an inquest was held into the death. Unfortunately, English registrations have so little information on them, apart from the date and cause of death, I can't be sure that it is the family I am interested in. It is my understanding that coroner's records are not available, but a report would be in the newspaper of the day. If anyone on the list can access old newspapers, probably the Darlington & Stockton Times, could I ask for a check to be made, please? The death was in 1909, the name of the deceased Arthur GIBSON, aged 57 years. The inquest was held in 1st April 1909, probably in Northallerton. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks Ailsa Petrie Hamilton New Zealand

Is there anyone who can share information on the CORDUKES, CORDEAUX and CORDEUX families of Crambe and the neighbouring areas? I can get back as far as CHARLES CORDEAUX whose father was a Richard CORDEAUX or CORDEUX (late 1700's). But I can't find any definite link to the most likely Richard who appears to have married a Racheal JONES. Hoping for help, and happy to share my family tree on genesreunited. David Wright

Hi Zoe, Just seen your post re Castle Bolton. I have genealogical interests in this and the surrounding area, it may be worth noting that Castle Bolton could refer to the village itself no the venerable ruins. I have some info on the Castle & its history somewhere, plus some digipics if no one else has come to your rescue? regards Barrie Sharples

Mary Lou You can see a photo of Castle Bolton here http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/161352 and there are 8 other pictures with it. Richard Thomson

So you should be able to find a report of the inquest in the local newspapers of the time. Go to the page below which is for the North Yorkshire libraries, use their keyword search and type in just Newspapers, you should then get up about 12 results and amongst them you should find items about Historic Newspapers. You could ask the library if they can help with a copy of the inquest giving the full details of name date place of death etc., If they are happy to make a search of their archives of newspapers and send you a copy they will no doubt make a charge for doing so. http://www.northyorks.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=3112 If the library does not hold copies of old newspaper, most likely on microfilm these days, then the North Yorks CRO at Northallerton may hold them and you can ask them to look for the inquest and sent a copy, they will make a fee for the service as well as for copying and posting. You should find the link to the North Yorks CRO by clicking on the North Yorks County Council logo at the top of the above page. Search their holdings to see if they have newspapers, you can also find detials of their research service and charges. Regards Jenny DeAngelis. Spain.

Hi Zoe......sounds like by 1868 the castle was only a ruin....your man may have thought it a romantic place to hang himself.

I'm afraid I don't know very much about Castle Bolton and I wonder if anyone can fill me in on the history of the castle at that time, and how come David Plews might have gained access to commit suicide (his occupation was Lead Miner). Also, might the event have been reported in a local newspaper? If so, can anyone point me in the right direction to follow this up.

Thankyou Peter for your reply, then I thought that in the past and even today MP`s, JP`s, Judges, Lords, etc take an Oath to the Crown. the 1723 Oath was to George 1st to stop the Stuarts, every one over 18 had to register their land/property by December 25th or it could be confiscated in particular Catholic lands. Next sorry to mislead you, my ancester who took an Oath was an "Oath of Association" to the Merchants Company of Alnwick 1695/6 just after his finniched his apprenticeship to a Merchant. Info from the NDFHS Journal of Spring 1993 and other sources. The same year he was said at a baptism to be Mr. Mark Grumble Have not had a reply yet from Northumbria but then I waited over 18 hours for my mail to be published. Cheers Jack

Jack, I would have thought that the Oath of Allegiance would have been signed at the point of enlistment into the Army, Militia, Yeomanry or whatever. Alnwick has a long association with the Army in Northumberland, the castle, today, being the home of the Northumberland Fusiliers Regimental Museum. The principal north Yorkshire recruiting centres at that time would probably have been Richmond, York and maybe Northallerton. For Durham I guess it would have been Durham city whilst for the borders it might have been Berwick-upon-Tweed. Typically you are looking for the garrison towns. And these, historically, seem to have been situated along the main cross-country routes: York, Richmond, Durham and Berwick all being on the old London-Edinburgh route. kindest regards, Peter Appleton -----Original Message----- From: eng-north-yorks-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:eng-north-yorks-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of ZALAE@aol.com Sent: 28 December 2007 20:03 To: eng-north-yorks@rootsweb.com Subject: [ENG-NORTH-YORKS] 1723 Oath of Allegiance Roll Some years ago I found an ancester of mine signed such a Roll at Alnwick, way out of your area.

Would Richmondshire Rolls be at Chester or at Northallerton ? All my known ancesters are from the top 20 miles of Yorkshire, all of Co Durham, Northumberland, the Borders and Caithness.
