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.

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?

Clifford Egan

My father Clifford Egan passed away at 80 years old on the 27th July last year, 2010. He was brought up in Kirbymoorside and had wanted to return there for a visit for many years, but due to ill health he didn't make it back. I know from family records that his mother Florence Egan and father John Egan ran a shop in the town at Dale End, there are now new houses built on this site. If anybody has a photo of the shop I would be very interested to see it and also if anybody remembers the family it would be nice to hear your memories. Kevin.

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

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?

Happy Days

Swing Bridge c1960
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I have happy memories of going down to the swing bridge in the school holidays when we visited our grandma in Huttons Ambo, long summer days going down to Leamans' shop for a block of ice cream and running back up the hill before it melted. Grandma Allen lived at Wolds View Cottages, we would go with her to clean the church and would play in the churchyard till she was ready. She seemed to always to be cleaning for people, she was widowed and lived there with our uncle Steve, he would take us up and down the lane on his tractor. Went to the school there for a while in 1955 when our mother was ill, Mrs Ronald was the school mistress and lived two doors away from Grandma's. Lovely little village which has not changed, and so reminds me so much of my childhood whenever I go back.
