Ship Inn
« on: Saturday 11 July 09 09:12 UTC (UK) » |

Hi, everybody- Some ancestors of mine have in the Darlington birth records the place of birth recorded as Ship Inn--after much searching have found via. Geuki a map 1806 of Durham showing a place Ship inn between Croft and Darlington. Any info. would be appreciated--the father of the children born there was a "Husbandsman" something to do with farming maybe.
Pints all round if it is still open!!!!!!

Husbandman is the old word for a farmer below the rank of yeoman. A husbandman usually held his land by copyhold or leasehold tenure, and may be regarded as the average farmer in his locality. The words yeoman and husbandman were gradually replaced in the late 18th. and 19th. centuries by farmer.

Thank,s for replies Stan.
The map is on Genuki--Durham page-maps-1806 map of county--provided by David Harrison--Two of my ancestors have births recorded at Ship Inn darlington parish church--Ralph Snaith 1788 -George Snaith 1785.

Correction George Snaith b1784--noted in 1851 census as born at "Ship Jam"--Ralph Snaith b1788 -I have read original transcript on Fiche and does say Ship Inn.
Was just wondering was it just an Inn by the river near Croft or did it have decent sized farm attached?
Regards, Al.

That looks like the one Stan.
I can see it better on Genuki but the Ship Inn is clearly indicated just in to county durham up from Croft.

Cheers Stan, for some reason I can not zoom into those maps-will further investigate--did you manage to look at 1806 map on GENUKI that does say Ship inn --the handwriting on Parish records and Census could quite easily be Slip or Ship.

Hi, JR.
Distinct possibility, by the maps it looks like about where the rivers merge.
But again it could be Slip Inn also --have searched and there are many Slip Inns around country--never actually seen one myself but seen and been in plenty of Ship Inns!!!
Cheers, Al.
