Hello Pat, I don't know about Falton but Spanton might be Spaunton and Fowston might be Fewston, perhaps. regards, Peter Appleton My Family Tree website: http:/www.tribalpages.com/tribes/pappleton3 -----Original Message----- From: Pat Smith [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 19 January 2006 08:32 To: [email protected] Subject: [NYorks] Help with North Yorkshire Parish Names Hello Listers, A Sarah SMITH born c.1806 married William AR(R)UNDALE on 25 Dec 1826 at Old Malton - both are noted in the parish records as "of this parish" i.e. of the parish of Old Malton. However, census records provide different information: 1851 census for Old Malton shows Sarah as being born at Falton; 1861 census for Old Malton shows her as born as Spanton; and 1871 census for Ryton shows her as born at Fowston. I've checked the "Where is it" link on the http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/ site and was unable to find any of the abovementioned parishes. Does anyone have any ideas as to where Sarah may have been born?
