At Lin's request am posting my brick wall. My 2*grt grandfather is a Christopher Gatenby born about 1808. Not been able to confirm a birth or father. His marriage certificate in 1844 to Mary Ann Robinson has no father’s name and both ‘off full age’. He could be the Christopher born 1806 in Well. Or he could be an illegitimate birth in 1808 in Carlton Miniott where he lived all his life. However this illegitimate birth is of a Robert Gatenby. How feasible that Robert could then be called Christopher?

I would like to find something about my 4th-Great Grandparents. My 3rd-Great Grandfather was Benjamin POUNDER, he was born in Middleton Tyas in 1772 and died in Kirkbymoorside in 1809. Some other members of the family went to KMS but I don't know if the whole family did and whether his parents did. All I know is that they were John and Elizabeth POUNDER and they had a number of children in Middleton Tyas but do not appear to have been born there, married there or buried there. My Great Grandfather, his brother and father all worked with wood as either carpenters of cabinet makers so I don't know if the trade goes back further in the family. Descendants of John POUNDER --------------------------- 1-John POUNDER b. Bef 1770, d. After 1785 +Elizabeth b. Bef 1770, m. Bef 1770, d. After 1785 |-----2-Thomas POUNDER b.

Bef 24 Nov 1782, Middleton Tyas, Yorkshire, England |-----2-Isabel POUNDER b. Bef 6 Nov 1785, Middleton Tyas, Yorkshire, England --------------------------- The only one of Benjamin POUNDER's siblings who I have found in the Middleton Tyas's record is his elder brother who fathered an illegitimate child. Descendants of Thomas POUNDER ----------------------------- 1-Thomas POUNDER b. Bef 11 Mar 1770, Middleton Tyas, Yorkshire, England +Sarah TOWINSON b. Bef 24 Mar 1771, Middleton Tyas, Yorkshire, England, par. Joseph TOWINSON and Mary GARDESS |-----2-John POUNDER b. Bef 17 Dec 1792, Middleton Tyas, Yorkshire, England ----------------------------- I know nothing about any of the rest but if John & Elizabeth who I would like to know more about - where they came from, where they married and where they died.
