    1. [WRY] CROSSLEY/EASTWOOD/ASHWORTH IN HEBDEN BRIDGE AND WADSWORTH
    2. Linda
    3. My main interests lie in Todmorden and Walsden. However, I have discovered a significant connection to Hebden Bridge and the Township of Wadsworth in the late 18th and early 19th centuries for surnames: CROSSLEY EASTWOOD ASHWORTH. All families have strong Baptist connections and seemed to have been members of the Wainsgate and Ebenezer Baptist Chapels of Wadsworth. Those who broke away from the Baptists used the old church at Heptonstall. One of my CROSSLEY ancestors was John, who founded the John Crossley & Sons Manufacturing business at Hebden Bridge. I would love to hear from anyone who may be connected, or who may have resource data on Baptist records in this area. Regards Linda www.todmordenandwalsden.co.uk

    3. From: "jenny lang" <jjlang@xtra.co.nz> > Hi Carol > Yes there are PEARSON people out there. > > I am interested in William Pearson who married Mary Ellen UMPLEBY in > 1883. Their son Leonard came to NZ in the early part of the 1900's. > Leonard had a brother John and a sister Ida. > > Does any of this ring any bells.> My point, in pointing out the vagueness of the original query, was to avoid precisely this kind of message! It's like asking "Are there any Smiths out there?", although the name Pearson admittedly isn't quite as common as Smith, though it is relatively common. However, it seems to me slightly daft to pose a query in such a vague and general way, then have lots of listers replying with their Pearsons, only to be told in the great majority of cases probably that the OP isn't interested in them! When posting queries asking for contact from those interested in a particular surname, you should always be SPECIFIC, i.e., which family are you interested in?; what were their full names?; where did they live and when? The key to garnering information that is going to be of help is to give some information as to what you know and what you have already researched and discovered. Otherwise, you may just be wasting people's time and bandwidth. Here's how the query should have been phrased (hypothetical data, of course): "I am interested in John PEARSON, a greengrocer in Leeds from about 1860 onwards. He married Maisie Snodgrass at Leeds Parish Church in 1859 and they had seven children, who were called.....etc. Does anyone else connect to this family?" THAT is the way to pose a proper query and expect sensible replies. -- Roy Stockdill Editor, Journal of One-Name Studies Guild of One-Name Studies website: www.one-name.org Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."

    3. Roy, Apropos Yorkshire witches, the following might be of general interest:- "From Surtees Society Vol 40 - 1861 "Another case of witchcraft in the West Riding. The girl, no doubt, was seized with catalepsy. One witness declares that Hester France had been a reputed witch for above twenty years. Another says that when he went to take her to Elizabeth Johnson's house she was very unwilling to go." (This note was added in 1861) "Jan. 23, 1651-2. Before Henry Tempest, Esq. HESTER SPIVEY of Hothersfielde, widdow, saith thatt upon Thursday last she went unto the milne, and, att her comeing home att night, Elizabeth Johnson, her servant, told her thatt Hester France had been att her howse, and, she mending the fire with a firepoite the sayde Hester sayde, itt were a good deed to seare her lips with itt, if she thought anie thing by itt; and soe went out of the howse, but came in againe and cursed the sayde Elizabeth, and prayed to God thatt she shold never bake again. And the sayde Elizabeth told her thatt she thought the sayde Hester had bewitched her; and then this informant answered, and hoped she had a better faith than to feare witch or devill. And, after they was gone to bedd, the sayde Hester made a great noise in her sleepe, insomuch thatt she affrighted this informant, and, in the morning she bidd her goe to some neighbors to see if her eare rootes were not downe, but they were not downe. Thereupon the sayde Elizabeth lay herself downe upon a bedd, and, this informant presently following her, she sawe thatt she could not speake, and taking her into her armes, she could not stand, and so continued speechles from six a clock untill betwixt eight or nine in the evening, saveing thatt she spoke once to her brother. Whereupon the sayde Hester France was sent for, and, she being come the sayde Elizabeth spooke to her, and catched att her and sayde "Thou art the woman thatt hath deard me," and soe scratched her, since which the sayde Elizabeth is somewhat better, but still continewes very ill. John Johnson, of Hothersfielde, the younger, saith thatt Robert Cliff is now very weake and sick, and hath beene sick for this halfe yeare. And this morninge the sayde Robert sent unto the constable of Hothersfielde, and desired him to send the sayde Hester France unto him; and she being come into the chamber he scratcht her very sore, and sayde, "I think thou art the woman thatt hath done me this wrong;" and then she answered and sayed thatt she never did hurt in her life." Probably most "witches" did no harm. I was interested in the reference to Hester SPIVEY.

    3. Hi Lyn, After checking through my Family Tree I am not 100% sure but I don't think James is related to the Upper Hallam/Attercliffe Woodhouse's. What makes me a little uneasy about that statement is that apart from the land they leased & farmed (1700's)from the Duke of Norfolk in the Fulwood area (Mayfield Valley) they also had a corn mill. When Wm Woodhouse jnrs family started to grow they moved on to Attercliffe where they again had a Corn Mill in the very early 1800's. As that part of the family grew they moved away with some still stating their occupation as Corn Millers. Others moved into the Steel Mills. However I believe but have not found the link that an Ecclesfield branch (early 1700's) belong to this group as well. Owlerton at the time of James's birth would have come under Ecclesfield. On the 1861/81 census your James is a Corn Miller so I rest my case. He could indeed be related to the Upper Hallam Branch. All were baptised in the 1700's at Sheffield Parish Church but later became Methodists. One of the Attercliffe branches that moved out to New Zealand became Wesleyan Ministers. Do you know who James 1827 father was????

    1. [WRY] John & Mary Bateman & children
    2. Roy Stockdill
    3. I am still pursuing my ongoing researches into the story of Mary Bateman (nee Harker), the infamous Yorkshire Witch who was hanged at York in 1809 for the murder by poisoning of Rebecca Perigo (nee Stockdale). My current quest is to try and pin down how many children John and Mary Bateman had and what were their names and approx DoBs. This is not proving easy, since there were probably several John Batemans in Leeds at the appropriate time and, unfortunately, the baptismal registers of Leeds Parish Church (St Peter's), where the Batemans baptised their children, only give the fathers' names and not those of the mothers. I have FOUR marriages of John Batemans at St Peter's, as follows..... John Bateman to Martha Hargrave, 24 Apr 1775. John Bateman to Christiana Batley, 1 Jan 1776. John Bateman to Elisabeth Mirfield, 29 Sep 1782 John Bateman to Mary Harker, 26 Feb 1793. * This last marriage was that of the Yorkshire Witch. I know for a certain fact that the couple had at least three children because..... 1) Mary Bateman wrote to her husband from the condemned cell and asked for her wedding ring to be given to their daughter. 2) There was a son called Jack (presumably John) Bateman who was mentioned at her trial. 3) It was reported that she was allowed to have her youngest child (sex not stated) in the condemned cell with her until she was hanged. >From these facts I have worked out that the children most likely referred to were... MARY BATEMAN, bapt. at St. Peter’s, Leeds, February 16 1794 (IGI Batch no. K009625), dau of John. JOHN BATEMAN, bapt. at St. Peter’s, February 21 1796 (Batch no. C009628), son of John. JAMES BATEMAN, bapt. at St. Peter’s, July 19 1807 (Batch no. J151051), son of John. They may have had two others, i.e...... MARIA BATEMAN, bapt. at St. Peter’s, December 6 1801 (Batch no. C009629) GEORGE BATEMAN, bapt. at St. Peter’s, May 20 1804 (Batch no. C009626) What I would like to know is whether anyone can trace their ancestry back to the OTHER John Bateman marriages and therefore perhaps permit me to eliminate other possible children from those marriages. John Bateman, BTW, spent some time in the militia in order to escape from the notoriety of his wife. However, they must have spent SOME time together in order to have at least three children! -- Roy Stockdill Editor, Journal of One-Name Studies Guild of One-Name Studies website: www.one-name.org Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."

    3. Hello Rodney - Fortunately it takes me ages to delete files and as I was away in August I missed your email! Now in tidying up I have finally read your enquiry. Mary DYSON and Abraham HAIGH were my Great-great Grandparents in my maternal line. She was born in Rastrick on 6 February 1813 and her parents were William and Mary DYSON. Both he and Abraham were cloth dressers. She married Abraham on 10 August 1835 in Huddersfield and I have a copy of their marriage certificate. I have tracked them through all the census records and in 1841 his mother Sarah was living with them but I have no record of his father. They had 4 daughters and one son and the third daughter was named Anne so may have been named for a sister of Mary. I am planning to be in Yorkshire in April next year and will try following up on them then. In the meantime hope this of interest.
