The Bubwith register is on Ancestry and the Howden register on acrhive.org. Hemingbrough (B&M) is on family search. Based on this, I speculate that John etherington (b c 1660) was the son of John etherington who was buried in Bubwith 'of Breighton' 23/6/1688. This John I speculate was born in Hemingbrough 1/1/1609 to John (5.5 miles s of Breighton) to Edward. Edward also had a son Matthew (bap 23/9/1612 Hemingbrough) whose wife Isabel 'of Menthorpe' near Breighton was buried at Bubwith 28/2/1657. Edwaard probably came fromHowden, born about 1570 to Thomas and Isabel, who baptised several children between 1560 and 1566. There is a property fine concerning this Thomas in 1573 for lands in Holme in Spandingmore and Hoveden, which suggests a connection back to the Etherington family there. The only connection i can see is that Thomas could be the son of the Thomas named in Randell Hetherington's will (1524) at Holme on Spaldingmoore, probabl! y a cousin. I doubt this analysis would pass muster at the SOG, but it is at least an hypothesis for further testing. John Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
