Hi Jenny I have a Jane Bowes... -----Original Message----- From: Jenny De Angelis [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, April 03, 2006 9:53 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [NYorks] NRY names HIRST, RUSSELL,BOWES, STAINTHORP,MYLES,SIMPSON, SMITH I have not posted my surname interests for the North Yorks area for some time now so thought I ought to put that right as there now seem to be a few new listers. Here are a few details of each name to see if anything rings any bells. HIRST - first names such as Godfrey, Edwin, Francis, Richard, Jonathan, Thomas, Henry & Dorothy in. The first Godfrey Hirst I have was born at Owston WRY around 1735 and married Dorothy DUNHILL of Pontefract in 1770 they then ran the Golden Lion coaching inn in Northalleton High Street until Godfrey's death in 1807. They had 11 children all born at the Golden Lion and after Godfrey's death his son Francis ran the inn until his own death in the 1830s. Godfrey and Dorothy's Gt. grandson was another Godfrey born 1811 son of Edwin Hirst and Jane LIDDLE. Godfrey later married Anne RUSSELL in 1841 and became my 2 x Gt. Grandparents. Their son Edwin born 1842, my Gt. Grandfather. RUSSELL -Anne Russell b. 1813 Northallerton,who married Godfrey Hirst, was the dau. of Nathaniel Russell b.1783 Ingleby Arncliffe, and his wife Hannah STAINTHORP, Hannah was the dau. of Thomas Stainthorpe farmer of Brompton by Northallerton. Nathaniel was the son of an earlier Nathaniel Russell and his wife Mary SIMPSON. This older Nathaniel was born about 1748 at Ingleby Arncliffe the son of Jacob Russell and his wife Christiana MYLES. This 1748 born Nathaniel had a grocers shop in the High St. Northallerton and was also noted in records as being a flax dresser. Jacob Russell was born about 1712 at Ingleby Arncliffe the son of an earlier Jacob and his wife Elizabeth SMITH poss. dau. of Christopher Smith of West Harlsey. Christiana Myles was born around 1712 too at East Harlsey I believe she was the daughter of a Robert Myles but don't know anything about the Myles family to date. The earlier Jacob was born about 1682 bapt. at Hawnby that year, son of William Russell born C. 1647 and Anne Bowes. William and Anne had 8 known children at Hawnby. There is some mystery about William Russell's father who, as family tales have it, disappeared during the Civil war when he was taken away and never seen again, his wife and child, young William presumably, ended up living with one of their tennant farmers somewhere around the Hawnby Snilesworth area. Who took the man away, or whether he just died in battle, and when this occurred is not clear but there must be something in it somewhere. Thankyou for reading this far.

HI, Not sure who wrote this reply below to me, James or Barbara, no name given at bottom message. Where and when did you have Jane Bowes in your family? I have nothing on the name Bowes later than the mid 1600s. I have not really begun to research this name so know nothing of any Bowes family later than about 1640 or so.
