Childhood memories.

I have many happy memories of Melsonby as I visited regularly until the 1980's. My father's family (Healey) were from Melsonby and my aunt was a teacher at the C of E school for many years. My father and most of his family are buried in the churchyard in the picture. The right-hand cottage belonged to the Rennison family and as a child no visit to Melsonby was complete without a visit to them.
Although only 22 miles from Middlesbrough where I lived it took 2 and a half hours to get to Melsonby and 3 different buses.

RE: Childhood memories.

My great-grandfather Edmund Fawcett was born in Melsonby in 1847. His father was called Robert. Is there anyone researching their family tree around Melsonby who can help me? Kind regards, Dave Southern.
