North Yorkshire memories
Scackleton C of E School
Mine is not so much my memory as an account of the doings/correspondance relating to Scackleton School from Sept 17th 1928 to the early 1930s. I picked up this school log book in a junk shop 30 years ago and it's just travelled with me among all my other books. This book is so interesting - as well as original correspondance re hiring and firing, wages etc at the school, there are also many letters re school activities and even maintainance. There are referances to naughty boys (Mansfield Sanderson crops up now and again!- in detail!, in fact there is a list of names in one case) and all doings at the school. There are letters from his lordship in "Gleneagles", Perthshire, giving instructions to the head(Anette Boyes I believe at that time), and lots of other carbon copies of letters sent by vaious teachers to the education dept. All very South Riding in tone, colour and deferance. An interesting book.
The Rectory: Bulmer, Malton
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
Uncle Cecil''s Farm
My brother and I would stay with Granny during the holidays, she lived at 'Cregeen' in a row of houses on Princess Street, near the railway crossing. Granny's brother Cecil had a farm out along the lane in this picture, my brother and I would walk out to the farm, over this bridge. The photo looks toward Strensall from the road to Uncle Cecil's farm. I remember that there was a milk churn stand on this road, and we'd take Cecil's empty churns off the stand and carry them back to the milking barn for him.
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?
My Dad's Disembarkation 3rd May 1946 ?
Hello, one and all. This may be a tad queer, however, I have acquired my biological dad's Second World War records, James Paul Shelly (1917-1984,RIP), who was attached to the 6th South Wales Borderers, near the end of the Second World War he sailed to India (ship?), then Burma, then Sumatra, and Singapore. My question is why was STRENSALL listed? It seems a bit strange to me. His Army number was 983852. Sincerely. Seamus P J Fogarty, in Maryland, USA.
Robson And Hodgson Ancestors
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?
Happy Days at Kirkham Abbey
I lived at Kirkham Abbey in a little bungalow called Sunny Side. It is no longer there now as it was pulled down. It was situated where the carpark now is for The Stone Trough. My mother and father in law lived in The Bungalows. He, Ernest James Cook, was the butler for Mrs Brotherton at Kirkham Hall. Mr Robert Hall and his wife lived and farmed there and Mr Eric Batty was station master and lived in the railway cottages. The Stone Trough wasn't a pubin those days, it was the home of Ernest Hepton. He had a garage at Whitwell on the hill. Long before I was married I used to spend a lot of time with Anne Cook who was to be come my sister in law. As children we used to play in the grounds of the abbey ruins (after the man had gone home) We swam in the river and fished in the cut and walked in the fields and... Read more
