RAWLING(S) Knaresborough

Janice Bairstow fitfacts@blueyonder.co.uk
I am looking for any information about the early life of my great grandmother Alice Rawling(s).  On the 1881 census she appeared as a six-year old inmate of the Knaresborough Union Workhouse along with her two sisters, Harriet and Agnes and her brother Arthur.  There was no place of birth given.
I have her marriage certificate which gives her father's name as Samuel Rawlings (deceased).
I would like to know how she came to be in the workhouse and who her mother was.  She subsequently married my great grandfather William Thorpe Wilson on 25.8.1900 and had a son and daughter.  If anyone can shed any light upon the situation it would be much appreciated.  The married name of sister Agnes was Howell and I think Arthur's wife was called Minnie. Of Harriet I have no knowledge. If anyone could tell me how to obtain information about workhouse records, that too would be appreciated.

Patricia (Boddy) Tharp tharpkd@aol.com
Seeking parentage of my ancestor Jane Render who was born in the 1730s or early 1740s. In 1770 she married at Ripon Galen Boddy of Sawley. Later they moved to nearby Raventofts Farm and Mill in the township of Bishop Thornton. It is thought Galen, a stonemason, may have built the mill in the late 1790s. He was a miller there until he died in 1802. After his death, Jane continued to live there with her only son, John Boddy, until her death in 1826. In 1813, a Francis Render, was the godfather at the baptism of Jane's granddaughter, Isabel Boddy at St. Joseph's RC chapel in Bishop Thornton. It is speculated that Joseph Render who became the beloved priest of St. Wilfred's in York, may have been her nephew. There are many Render families at Hampsthwaite. Which one was hers?

My gt. grandfather was Henry Saville b. March 1849 in Ferrensby, his mother Charlotte Saville (father unknown).
I found this family on 1851census living with grandmother Mary Saville in Ferrensby but lost them in 1861.

I Would like to speak to anyone with Saville connections in this area who may have a connection with this search.

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 would be welcome.

SHANN Hampsthwaite, Rothwell, Langscales
any
Karen Wagner BWagner@si.rr.com
I am researching my husband's SHANN family who came to America around 1818/1819. The earliest ancestor I can find here is Josephus Shann, born August 1819 in Woodbridge, Somerset County, New Jersey. I believe his father was John Shann who died in NJ in 1829 and his mother may have been Mary Umpleby who I believe died in 1882. All of the other Shann's (James, Sarah, Charles, Jane, John and maybe Edward) who I believe are his siblings, also lived in Woodbridge but were born in England according to the census indexes. Josephus was the first one born here, so I think his mom was probably pregnant with him when then came over. Josephus was a farmer, dabbled in politics and owned a newspaper in Rahway for a short while. He married Anne Crowell whose ancestry goes back to the FitzRandolphs. Josephus and Anne had at least 9 kids, he died in 1913.

SMITH Knaresborough
1800s/1900s
Margaret Gill gillmarg@iinet.net.au
My mother always claimed that one of her ancestors - a great (plus a few more) grandfather died in Knaresborough at the ripe old age of 100 plus. She claimed to have seen a plaque in Knaresborough attesting to his age. My sister says she remembers seeing the plaque when she visited with my mother as a child-this would have been in the 1930s. My sister thought it was outside this relative's house. The best guess is that his name was Smith and I have a Robert Smith of Yorkshire (Woodlesford ?) (my g/g/grandfather) born around 1796 who could have been his son or grandson. Other possible family names are Sugden, Brownridge, Eddison and Binks.
If anyone could shed any light on this, I would be most grateful.

Tony Stead thesteads@macunlimited.net
I am looking for information on Charles Ellis Stead, he was my grandfathers Uncle. Born at Throstle Nest, Wortley Nr Leeds in 1872. Stories in the Family suggest that he moved to Harrogate at some point (but I think they meant near Harrogate). Charles Ellis was a qualified Butcher but the family believe that when he moved to Knaresborough he sold Fresh dairy and garden produce to the local hotels and restaurants although his death certificate has his occupation as a poultry dealer.
He is believed to have lived in Rose Cottage (Is there a Rose Cottage in Knaresborough that anyone might know about?). His death certificate shows that he died at 15 Calcutt Houses Knaresborough Outer Rd.
I have looked through the GRO indexes and have found the following entries which seem to fit in with his life story.
Charles married Annie L Webster There is a death entry for an Annie L Stead aged 65 Knaresboro Qtr4 1936 Charles and Annie had one child that I know of Named Albert Vernon Stead. There is a GRO Marriage entry for an Albert Vernon Stead to a Miss Duff in Knaresboro' Qtr4 1932 Also a Death entry for Albert Vernon Stead aged 45 in Knaresboro' Qtr4 1943 I don't know if Albert Vernon and Miss Duff had any children - If anyone can help I would be most grateful
I would also love to know if anyone has heard of or knows of a Rose Cottage in Knaresborough and any details of the business that Charles Ellis Stead may have run.
Perhaps there is someone who visits the cemetery in Knaresborough doing research who may be able to locate the headstones of the above and mail me the details?
Any help no matter how small would be very gratefully received.

Ian Hutchinson ian.hutchinson@hotmail.com
I am researching any connections with the Taylor family of Knaresborough and the origins of the Whitehawk name.
 
My GGG Grandfather was Thomas Taylor (a miller) and he and his wife Ann (b1806) had 2 sons Robert (bap 1835) and William Whitehawk (b1828 d1859). William was married twice, first to Mary Lawn and then to Jane Hemshall. William and Mary had three children Thomas (b1852) Mary Ann (b1851) and John (b1857). Descendants include: Pawson, Pollard, Johns, Crawley, Gledhill, Baldwin and Atkinson.
 
I am guessing that Whitehawk connection is a maiden name (perhaps Ann's). There are Whitehawks listed in Yorkshire at about this time at Ripon, Alne, South Cave and Ellerbourne.

Christopher and Ann had twin daughters - Mary who married Thomas Bayllis and lived in Leeds and Martha (deceased by 1857/1858 ) who married Rev. William Barker and they had a least one son William who may have emmigrated to America. (Christopher and Ann's only other child was Stephen - my g.g. grandfather) Im trying to find the parents of Christopher Thorpe - know it is William and ? - probably Stephen and Thomas were brothers as well as a William (1781)., Jane (1783) Joseph or James ( 1785 ) Richard ( 1796 ) and Sarah (1801) .
TINDALL Knaresborough
before 1806

Yes! William Tindall, surgeon and apothecary of Knaresborough, was indeed the uncle of John Rainforth. In William Tindall's will, dated 26 Dec 1805 and proved (in London) 10 Mar 1806, he bequeathed "unto my nephew John Rainforth all my surgical instruments together with all my drugs and medicines of whatsoever description they are or may be to be delivered to him as soon after my decease as conveniently may be..." The death duty register states that these "fixtures and books" were worth 60 pounds and John Rainforth paid a death duty tax thereof. William's wife's name was Susannah and they apparently had no children at the time of his death. He had property at both Pickhill with Roxby and Knaresborough. I wonder if there was a newspaper announcement regarding his death? Is he mentioned in any histories of Knaresborough? He was baptized 11 Nov 1759 at Pickhill and was buried there 18 Jan 1806. A table top tombstone memorializes his life. (Both the will and death duty register were obtained online through the National Archives website!). Thank you for any additional information.

I am looking for any information about my grandparents Harry and Edith Tomlin. Edith's maiden name was Brown and she was born in Knaresborough around 1900. Harry was born in Hastings about 1894. They lived in Forest Crescent, Starbeck for many years and had 4 daughters. I believe that Harry died in the 1960s.
Thank you
