Lynn Thanks for your message. HILL Samuel Hill (b.1816 Hull) came to Whitby around the late 1840s with his first wife Jane (nee Wilson). Jane died and he married Mary Readman at Brunswick St. Methodist Chapel, Whitby in 1862, and they had a number of children including Matthew Readman Hill (1865), Samuel (1867), John (1870), James (1873), George (1875) & Alfred (1880). Matthew Readman Hill was my late wife's great grandfather. COOPER Thomas Cooper (b.c.1764) married Mary Yeoman at Lythe 1790. Thomas was a blacksmith at West Barnby. Amongst their children were, Thomas, Moses, Aaron, Yeoman, Thomasine,Alice, Jane & Hannah. The son Thomas (b.1799 West Barnby) was an Ag Lab. He married Catherine Lyth(e)in 1821 and they moved to Loftus and then to Marske. Their daughter Jane (b Marske 1828) married George Kitching at Marske in 1849 and they moved to Whitby, where George was a Taxidermist and well known for carrying and discharging his gun on the beach (for which he got into trouble a few times). They were the great grandparents of my late wife. Also Alice daughter of Thomas Cooper & Mary (Yeoman) had an illigitimate daughter Jane in 1826 at Loftus. Jane became the second wife of my late wife's ancestor John David Devonshire, Jet Manufaturer in Whitby and Scarborough.
