Hello everyone, Just a quick e-mail to introduce myself. 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

Hi Peter I have a George Appleton who married two Fenney sisters from Kirby in Cleveland. The first sister he married in 1890 and they had 4 children:- William Frank, Fred, Emily Mary and Edith Ann. I don't know much about this line but please get in touch if this rings any bells.
