North Yorkshire memories
Wellock
My great great great grandmother Margaret Wellock was born in this village in 1811. She married Mathew Edward Bywell from Middleham and lived most of her life in West Witton. She later lived in Aysgarth were she died and is buried in the churchyard there. I wonder if there are any Wellocks still living in the village.
Bywell
My ancestors The Bywells were originally from Wensley in the 1700's and then moved to Middleham and also west Witton. I wonder if any Bywells still live there
Cragg Farm
This photo shows Cragg Farm painted white and Sweetbriar Cottage attached. My mother was Margaret Jane Carr and was born and raised at Cragg Farm. She was 16 years old in 1926 when this photo was taken.
She married Roland Calverley at Kettlewell Church in June of 1935 and moved near Bradford. As a family we used to go to Starbotton and visit friends there through the 50's and 60's. I married an American and now live in the States but i still go to Starbotton every time i come back to England. We continue to have friends and family living there. It is a sacred spot to me, timeless, and i hope it will remain so.
My uncle William Carr of Carleton recently made a bench with a plaque in memory of all the school children he knew growing up there. It is placed somewhere up the hillside toward Cam i believe.
Redmire Children
My great great grandparents arrived in Redmire in the 1840s or thereabouts.
This photo was taken in 1929 when my mother would have been about nine or ten. She was born in Redmire in 1921 to George and Ellenor Miller who had five more children William, Ethel, Lillian, John and Mary. The family were all stonemasons through the census years. My interest is in this photo. The girl with the longest hair resembles my eldest daughter. Can anyone name her or her family? I would be very grateful. I myself spent quite a few times up there in the summer holidays and stayed with my grandad and uncle John at the Railway Cottages where they lived. Has anyone got any old photos they could let me see, school ones maybe? The view from the Railway Cottages is breathtaking over the village. I love the place like a passion. I was up there last summer and it has not changed a bit from what I can remember. The Railway Cottages... Read more
Great Uncle Herbert?
My great grandfather, Christopher, owned Bridge House next to the bridge when this photo was taken, having moved there from Spennithorne where he had been the landlord of the Old Horn Inn. We believe the cart driver was my great Uncle Herbert who had a cart business in the Dale - his sisters the 'Miss Hauxwells' ran a fish business from their home. Herbert was killed, following a fall from the cart on his way home from the pub in Middleham, hitting his head on a gate post. He and his father are buried in Middleham churchyard.
This picture is Middleham Suspension Bridge.
Bywell
My ancestors The Bywells were from Middleham in the 1700's. I wonder if there are any Bywells still living there
