Hi Peter! My family is from Whorlton, Melsonby, Manfield & Stanwick St John. Although, I haven't seen any marriages between your family and mine, there very well could be (I haven't researched any female marriages in my tree, yet). My name is spelled as Tennett/Tennet/Tenwick/Tennick in the registers for these parishes. If you happen to see any marriages to my name I'll be hapy to give any information you need. Good luck!

My name is Peter Appleton and I live in Guisborough (in what used to be known as the North Riding of Yorkshire in the good old days!). I began researching my family tree in January of this year when I took early retirement. I've been working at it fairly steadily (two-three days per week) and would regard myself as somewhere between beginner and intermediate in terms of my skills as a genealogical researcher. The family names and main localities that I am researching are as follows: APPLETON, Kirby-in-Cleveland & Whorlton, 1600-1900 APPLETON, Skelton-in-Cleveland, 1850-present BOWERS, Skelton-in-Cleveland and Brotton, 1880-present CARVER, North Skelton, 1870-present COCKERILL, Langdale End & Goathland, 1800-1900 EVANS, Eston, 1850-1880 EVANS, Skelton-in-Cleveland, 1880-present FAWCETT, Crathorne & Wilton, 1750-1900 FAWCETT, Skelton-in-Cleveland, 1880-present LEGG(E), Lythe & Ugthorpe, 1750-1900 WOODS, Stanghow, 1870-1900 The BOWERS, CARVER and WOODS families came from Norfolk. The EVANS family I have traced back to an Evan EVANS in Glamorganshire, Wales (and tracing him any further back is like looking for a needle in a haystack!) regards, Peter Appleton ==== ENG-NORTH-YORKS Mailing List ==== ----------> ALL CAPS or UPPER CASE Letters Permissible Use <---------- When typing a surname?
