Jill, I've sent you a GEDCOM and some other information off list about the possible parentage of John Sayer of Whitby. Laurel Sayer (researching all instances of SAYER/SAYERS/SAIR/SAIER etc in Yorkshire, Durham, Westmorland. Also dipping my toes into Lancashire and Northumberland) Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2008 12:18:08 +0100 (BST) From: Jill Greenwood <jill_greenwood@btinternet.com> Subject: [ENG-NORTH-YORKS] SAYER Hello, I am new to this list and wonder whether anyone can help with the following, please. I have an admon dated May 1823 for John SAYER, late of Whitby, Mariner and Bachelor deceased. Admon granted to Thomas SAYER of the parish of Whitby and Elizabeth FRAIN of the same parish, widow (the brother & sister, only next of kin). Bonds for the administrators were William FOSTER of Whitby, sailor and William TAYLOR of Whitby, weaver. Can any SAYER researchers throw any light on which SAYER family this is, please? I cannot find a first marriage for Elizabeth but it looks as though she re-married in 1825 at St Mary's Whitby: May 23 Thomas Robinson*, widower, labourer & Elizabeth Frain*, widow, both of this parish, banns Wit Peter Cowart, Ralph Greenbury Cur Pope Many thanks, Jill Researching: SAYER(S); COLE; FRANKLAND; HARRISON; HARBRON/HEBRON - Whitby MILLER: Whitby, Sneaton, Barton le Street, Silksworth & Durham NICHOLSON: Bulmer, Barton le Street, Hinderskelfe

Hi Laurel - there are a lot of SAYERS info going on in the Suffolk and Norfolk mailing lists at the moment. Bearing in mind that a lot of these people moved north for work when times were tough in the agricultural trades. Regards.
