Hello all,
I am looking into the King family of the East Marton area in the late 1600s and 1700s.
They were Quakers and I have found them in the registers of the Monthly Meeting of Settle.
My ancestor was Abigail King who married John Binns in 1703. She was apparently the daughter of William King of Mirehouse/Mire House near Marton, born on 29 May 1682.
However before the King family joined the Religious Society of Friends, I would assume the family baptisms, marriages and burials would be found in the Church of England registers.
I therefore wonder if anyone please has access to the registers for the All Saints, Broughton, St Peter, Marton-in-Craven and St Mary, Thornton-in-Craven?
The Kings I am researching have the names of Henry, John, Lawrence, Thomas and William.
William is of particular interest, as he is the apparent father of six sons and four daughters who must have been born around 1660 to 1680 and grandfather of Abigail King/Binns.
If anyone is able to help I would be most grateful. Marton seems to be the main area of interest.
For future google search reference for other researchers, places associated with this family are:
East Marton
Gisborn/Gisburn
Glusburn (same as above?)
Langber/Longber
Laycocke, parish of Keighley
Marton
Marton Top
Mire House near Marton
Moor Top
Nuttercoat
Oakclif/Oakcliff/Oucliffe, parish of Carleton
Paster House
Sutton
Thornton
West Marton
Mire House and Oakcliff are the two places of the most interest.
Any help would be gratefully received.
Many thanks,
Jon
