Kilburn, the Village 1953
Ref: K68008
Kilburn was always a magical place for me as a child, lying as it does beneath the hillside where the White Horse is carved. As children we would cycle the seven miles from our home village to spend the day on and around the horse. A visit to 'Mousey Thompson's 'workshop was often included. I also remember earlier days being taken by my father to visit some of his friends in the village, and being enchanted with the little stream running by their garden gate.

Kilburn, High Kilburn c1955
Ref: K68017
I visited High Kilburn with my mother in 1987. She lived there as a young lady. Her name is Laetitia (Thompson) Lewis. Her parents were Lionel and Alice Thompson. We visited the house where she used to live and then went down to Kilburn and through some other villages before returning to Everingham where my uncle lived at the time. His name is Bill Thompson. My grandmother painted a picture from the upstairs window of the house they lived in and that picture hangs on the wall in my mother's house now. 1987 was the last time that I visited England, but I hope to return someday and visit the many beautiful places again, including High Kilburn.

My great great grandfather Francis Robson was born here about 1847 to James Robson and Mary, who was a Hodgeson before marriage. I think he had a sister called Patience and brother called Johnathan. Francis walked all the way to Bridlington to find work,where he married and had a large family. I would love to find out if any decendants of the other children are still living in the area. Also who were Jame's parents?

My great grandmother Hannah Bull was I believe a servant in 1901 at what I can only find as 'The Rectory' Bulmer, Malton. The Head of the House was John J Davies born about 1864. He was described as Clerk in Holy Orders; Clergy. I am trying to find information about my great grandmother and would love to find out if anyone knows what church John J Davies was connected with and if it still stands. I reside in Australia but hope to one day visit the homes of my ancestors. Can anyone help me? Donna Bywaters ilovecaelan@hotmail.com

Not a memory - more of a family history
Relatives of mine came from Welburn and I came on this site to see if I could find out more about where they originated. They were George Harrison b. 1806 married Susannah Butterworth in 1829. I think they both came from Welburn.
Can anyone out there help me in my quest?
