I've used censuses, marriage and death records, as well as combined family records. Possibly that would be sufficient.
The census will take you to 1801, the parish records (baptisms, marriages and deaths) to 1538 (with luck). Before that, the best place to start would be: http://www.medievalgenealogy.org.uk/sources/olmed.shtml And particularly the feet of fines: http://www.medievalgenealogy.org.uk/fines/search.php Some useful sources (searchable and online) are : Patent rolls: http://sdrc.lib.uiowa.edu/patentrolls/search.html Medieval soldiers: http://www.medievalsoldier.org/database/maindbsearch.php Legal records (common pleas): http://aalt.law.uh.edu/Indices/CP40Indices/CP40_Indices.html A couple more: http://www.british-history.ac.uk http://www.inquisitionspostmortem.ac.uk Also useful might be wills, tax records (lay subsidy and poll tax), but I’m not sure what’s available online or in print for Yorkshire. I’m sure others here can recommend other sources. Also, for many of these records, the spelling to check might be Thwaites, Thwaytes, Thweytes and other variations. > I've used censuses, marriage and death records, as well as combined family records.
