Gerard Hollingworth
gerardfireman@aol.com
My great grandmother was born in Goldsbrough/Knaresbrough
in 1882 and all of the family lived and were born in the Scriven/Goldsbrough/Knaresbrough
area.
William Fairbank Abbey born 1853 son of Richard Abbey and Sarah
Fairbank, married Ann Ibbotson and between 1878 and 1888 they
had the following children - Frederick Fairbank Abbey, William
Ernest Abbey, Esther Mabel Abbey, John William Abbey, John
Fairbank Abbey and Emma Gertrude Abbey - my great grandmother.
Richard Abbey was the son of Thomas and Ann Abbey and according
to the census returns and the business returns on this site
ran a metal and wood turners in Castlegate, Knaresborough through
the mid 1800's
Ann Ibbotson was the daughter of John Ibbotson and Esther
Smith.
If anyone can assist me with information from 1800 onwards
I would be most grateful. I obviously know details of Emma and
her family from 1900 which I can pass on but wondered if there
were other family members or their ancestors around?
Any help would be appreciated due to living in the south of
England. please email gerardfireman@aol.com |

I am the granddaughter of Robert Cresswell Ainsley and Catherine
Ainsley (nee Barnes) who lived in the Harrogate area for much
of their married life. To help me with the research I would
love to hear from descendants of my Grandfather (Robert's) sisters.
The sisters were:
Ada Ainsley (born in Morpeth in c. 1894/5) = married name 'Macertee';
Isabel Ainsley (born in Idle, Yorks in c. 1897, it is believed
that Isabel married a Swiss national and went to live in Switzerland);
Elsie Ainsley (born in Dewsbury c. 1899) = married name 'Murray'. |

living in Monk Bretton, Barnsley where the family eventually
settled.James re-married at Darlington in 1828.The spelling
changed around 100 years ago to ALLEMBY Many thanks for any

I am researching the names of Scurrah and Collier and Ambler in
Knaresborough. I am interested in Ann Collier born 1814 (as
given in census) and John Collier her husband who was I believe
born in Burton Leonard in 1813. I have not been able to trace
any details of Ann's birth but believe they were married in
Knaresborough in 1836, Ann's maiden name is possibly Ambler.
They were the parents of Ellen Ann Collier who married William
Scurrah son of Christopher Scurrah.The marriage tok place in
June 1877. After her marriage Ellen Scurrah produced a number
of children and quite often was living in Ivy Cottages with
her mother. I have not been able to discover the whereabouts
of William Scurrah for much of the marriage. Any information

whose wife MAY have been Elizabeth nee Holmes (this is not
definite). There appear to be several Bateson families
with roots in Rawdon about that time and I would be interested
in anything anyone can come up with.
James married twice, his first wife was Hannah Appleby, they
married in 1852 and had 3 children, she died in 1860.
In 1861 James married Ann Hall in Leeds and had a further 3
children, the eldest, Martha, was my grandmother.
James died in Holbeck in 1888. |

I live in Bendigo, Victoria, Australia. I am writing
a family history on the Bramley family of Snaith, Yorkshire. A
Thomas Bramley (1788-1857) married Maria Miller and they had
a large family. Three members came to Victoria, two
sons went to America and his other children remained in Yorkshire. His
second youngest son was Henry.
Henry (1833- 1874) married a
Maria Harrop. Henry,
like many members of his family, was a chemist and druggist
and had his business and was living in Market Place,
Knaresborough in the 1881 census. After his death,
his wife and son continued to run this Chemist shop. Maria
died 1902 when living with her spinster daughter, Catherine
Maria. I am wondering if the shop might still be there
in the market place. Also, I am anxious to know if there
is any information on Henry Bramley or any members of his
family which I could add to the history. I have photo
of Catherine Maria sent by Henry to his brother William,
in Victoria. His sons names were John Henry and Thomas

With a bit of investigation I think that this would have been
the 20th (East Devonshire) Fusillers Regiment of Foot - which
later became the 2nd Devonshire Rifle Volunteers (Prince
of Wales's). Wearing a scarlet uniform with a white facing and
a yellow feather.
IN 1838 The Duke of Wellington is quoted to have said "From
my own recollection I also declare that of the many distinguished
regiments of the British Army which I have had the honour to
command, this, the best and most distinguished, is entitled
to all the eulogiums I may have bestowed upon it,"
The regiment guarded Napolean at St. Helena, until his
death, when 12 of its Grenadiers carried his body to its tem-porary
tomb in that island.
Does anybody have any further information about this Regiment
or know where I may be able to locate a drawing of the
uniform close to 1841?
I would love to here from anyone who has
information about Philip Cass (father of Christopher Cass) b.c.
1780 - 1785.
Does
anyone know the origins of Cass Road, Knaresborough? |

I am researching the family of my father and in particular I
would be interested in making contact with any of the descendants
of my great grandparents William and Sophia Pape (nee Collier)
who moved to Knaresborough with their five children in the
1880s.
The eldest child was Lillie Pape born 1874, who married William
Parvin at Knaresborough in 1898; they had at least one child,
a son called William Alan Parvin born 21 September 1900.
The next chikd was James Collier Pape born 1876, who married
Mary Ellen Cassells at Knaresborough in 1901; they had one daughter
Doris Sophia Pape born 1903. Sophia (Doris) married Bernard
Trafford Oates at Knaresborough in 1931.
The third child was Tom Pape born 1879 who married Mary Eliza
Ellis. We believe that they had two daughters Lily Sophia Pape
born 1906, and Mary Dorothy Pape born 1907, and a son Donald
who we believe to be a twin to Mary Dorothy, but who died shortly
after his birth. Lily Sophia married M. Wheelhouse at Knaresborough
in 1936, and Mary Dorothy married John Pullan at Knaresborough
in 1931.
The fourth chikd was William Henry Pape who we believe only
had one son, who was killed and we believe did not marry.
The fifth child was Ernest Leopold Pape, my grandfather.
I would be interested to hear from any person who is researching
the names Pape, Collier, Parvin, Oates, Wheelhouse or Pullan,
or from anyone who is a living relative of this family. |

I am researching the names of Scurrah and Collier and Ambler

I believe born in Burton Leonard in 1813. I have not been
able to trace any details of Ann's birth but believe they
were married in Knaresborough in 1836, Ann's maiden name is
possibly Ambler. They were the parents of Ellen Ann Collier
who married William Scurrah son of Christopher Scurrah.The
marriage tok place in June 1877. After her marriage Ellen
Scurrah produced a number of children and quite often was
living in Ivy Cottages with her mother. I have not been able

the marriage. Any information would be welcome. |

was born Dover abt 1810 and was living with Philip and Sarah

Seeking parentage of Elizabeth Dawson who was born c. 1772.
From the MB&A, I know that in 1794 Elizabeth was living
at Sawley Hall where she was probably employed. She married
John Boddy, miller, of nearby Raventofts Mill and Farm in
Bishop Thornton and they had several children; the last three
were baptized at St. Joseph's Roman Catholic chapel at Bishop
Thornton after it was built in 1809. Another Dawson baptism
at St. Joseph's was John Dawson, baptized in 1814, the son
of Thomas and Elizabeth (Gerard) Dawson. Was Thomas Dawson
a brother of Elizabeth (Dawson) Boddy? Could this be the same
John Dawson who lived in Bevereley in 1857? |

Thomas (1838), and Mary (1840) in Marton with Grafton. John
left England in 1857, eventually settled in Iowa. I would really
like to find William's and Mary/Clara's parent's information,

13 may 1809 in knaresborough, baptised, 20 Aug 1809. His father
was caled andrew and was a weaver who then served in the 4th
dragoons and then in the 53rd regiment of foot. His wife was
paid for his service in the army of reserve for knaresborough.
Her name was Mary but I don't know her maiden name. she was
born in 1769, and it is likely that Andrew was born in 1768.
Their childrens baptisms are on the parish register, their
first child was Ann Downey1794, so perhaps they were married
in approx 1793. Six children in all and Anne deid aged 45
in 8 jan 1815. We don't know what happened to Andrew, as a
soldier perhaps he did not return home. Any information or
