Hi Elizabeth, My Grandparents lived at Mount Pleasant Farm across the road from Brockfield Hall from about 1918 just after they were married until the mid 1950's. I guess they would have known your Gt Gt Uncle and his family. My Father and his brothers and sisters visited the hall many times in their childhood. My Aunty Cissy met her future husband at the hall when he was stationed their with the army in the 1940's. I only live a few miles from Brockfield and Stockton Hall's. I purchased a booklet from Northallerton Records Office which has some information on Brockfield Hall when it was built and its owners. Regards, Ian in York -----Original Message----- From: Elizabeth Agar [mailto:emagar@hotkey.net.au] Sent: 15 July 2003 11:28 To: ENG-NORTH-YORKS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [N'Yorks] William Harrison and Alice Agar, Dunsley Hi Ian and Michael, I have just subscribed to the North Yorks list as I received your message via the Rootsweb PML facilty. The Agar Arms is named for the AGAR family of Stockton on the Forest, Warthill, Holtby, York and others nearby. I'm not sure when it was given that name as it was stilll The Bay Horse in 1840. My gg uncle inherited the manors of Stockton on the Forest & Holtby in 1906 and lived at Brockfield Hall. I have not found any connection with the AGARs of Danby or Whitby. The name AGAR was far more common in Yorkshire than I ever imagined, particularly in the 18/19th centuries. My g4 grandfather William AGAR of Wheldrake married Ann HARRISON of Holtby in 1755 at St Margaret's York. Not I believe in any way related to Michael's William HARRISON and Ian's Ann AGAR. Also not related to AGARs in Kilburn or in WRY or Durham or Essex or Kent... Cheers, Liz in Melbourne, still looking for the parents of g5 gf William AGAR, of Howden in 1724 when he married Mary DIXON nee Wright in Wheldrake..
