Does anybody have a connection to these Parks
William Park(b 1856) Married to Jane (? Rigg )
possible children from IGI
William Bap Natland 28 Dec 1777
Elizabeth " 30 Apr 1780
Jane Heversham 21 Jul 1782
John " 29 Aug 1784 ( see my John Park and Elizabeth Airey post )
Isabella Killington 6 Aug 1791
Geo " 15 Sept 1793
Jas " 18 Oct 1795
Fanny Heversham 3 Jul 1796
Sarah Killington 6 Aug 1800
Margaret " 24 Oct 1802
If these are all the same family, there's obviously a gap in the births or a second wife also named Jane.
The will of William's father William Park of Kendal,died1806 says that his son William lives in Killington and mentions 2 of this William's daughters Elizabeth and Mary ,living in Liverpool.
William (senior's)other Children are Joseph Park ,Storth End ,Preston Richard,Elinor Hind,wife of Robert of Kendal) and Jane Park of London.

Hello Suzy and Jan,
I have two different Park families in my family.... they both come into the families in the 1700s.
I was wondering if either of you can throw any light on them for me.
this is the only information I have on one of the Parks.
Thomas Park married Agnes Coulson in Kirkby Lonsdale on 24th June 1752. Agnes Coulson was baptised at St Michael's in Appleby, Westmorland on 15th February 1735 and her sister Dinah Coulson in 1729, their father was William Coulson.
Children I can find for Thomas Park and Agnes Coulson.
Joseph Park 18th Nov 1753
Isabel Park 21st Dec 1755
Thomas Park baptised 4th June 1758
Agnes Parke 6th May 1762 (married John Airey in Kirkby Lonsdale 20th May 1792 )
John Park was baptised in Kirkby Longsdale on 27th May 1770
On 14th November 1791 John Park married Jane Holmes in Kirkby Lonsdale. Jane was baptised 7th July 1776 at Killington, just north of Kirkby Lonsdale, her mother was Sarah Holme. I can only find two children for John & Jane (Holmes) Park
William Park was baptised 19th Aug 1792, (William married Agness Gibson.)
Agnes Park was born 28th April 1794 and baptised 'Aggy' Park on the 15th June 1794 at Kirkby Lonsdale, she married Edward Gibson of New Hall, Nether Staveley; so the 'Park' brother and sister married the 'Gibson' brother and sister.
Hope you can understand it and thanks for any help

Have you seen the will of John Park Yeoman ,Cow Brow Lupton Wife Jane Park ,son William Park of Stainton, daughter Agnes wife of Edward Gibson Of New Hall, Staveley 15 Nov 1851.
Not my John Park so I didn't note anything else.
I also have a copy of a will of Joseph Park Yeoman of Newbiggin Hutton Roof,21 June 1838 Could be your Parks /
Daughters Agnes m to Benjamin Robinson
Isabella m Richard Yeates
Barbara m Richard Mattinson
Hannah Bramwell deceased
Grand Daughter Hannah Park (daughter John Park's )
Sons John Farmer of Skelmergh
George Farmer of Laithe
William Gamekeeper of Rigmaden
Not the Parks I was looking for
Do you know anything about John Airey who married Agnes Park ?
My John Park married Elizabeth Airey of Dent in 1804.
At the time he is of Mansergh ,Kirkby Lonsdale. I cant find out anything about his family !
Sue

Hi Sue,
Yes that's my family, the Gibsons also came from Stainton..... they're all inter- twined. I have a couple of early Gibson Wills but I haven't seen John Park's Will ... I'll have to look for it. I've just managed to sort out who's who in the early Park family..... all I've got is in my post.
I'm wondering if the Joseph Park of Hutton Roof you mentioned, is the son of Thomas Park and Agnes Coulson.
I do have another Park family but they come from Kendal and Hawkshead so they are probably not yours either.
Sorry Sue, I don't know anything about the Airey family as they're not really in my family but I have looked a little bit and did come across your John Park and Elizabeth Airey while I was looking .... . it confused me. ..... maybe brothers and sisters marrying into the same family again.
thanks for your help, I'll have to look for the Will...they really help don't they?

Suzy
I have Parks coming out of my ears, with OH's family!
We can start with the 20 children of William Park and Jane Hayhurst of Heversham and Preston Patrick, and go back or forwards from there!
Of course there is continuous marriage into the Airey, Mattinson, Rowlandson, etc families
OH reckons that all Parks from that area are related.

Hi Sylvia
Merry Christmas
Yes,I reckon all the lakeland families must be related.
Did you see my last comment on the John Park and Elizabeth Airey post ? Maybe I've picked up the wrong marriage for William (1806) His date of birth is on the Mansergh parish Register .Mansergh is a chapel of Kirkby Lonsdale so his baptism would be on Kikby Lonsdale Register as well.It looks like they went "home" for Christmas and got their first 2 children ,Jane and William christened together.
Have you seen the church register for William and Jane's marriage.If not I could look it up.
Sue
-
Hi Sue
Merry Christmas to you
That would be very good of you. I do know the date
This is the information I have from family records, but it would be good to get it confirmed. Would there be any witnesses shown?
Jane Hayhurst was born on 16 November 1814 in Sedbergh, and was christened 11 December 1814 in Sedbergh.
William Park was born on I August 1806 in Heversham, Westmorland.
Jane married William Park on 14 December 1831 in Heversham.
They then went on to have 20 children beginning in May 1832 with the last arriving in 1860.
Jane died in 1869 of chronic disease of the ehart. I don't think I'm too surprised by that!!
Thank you
sylvia

Hi Sylvia
Will do Sylvia but it may be a few month's before I drive up to Kendal .It's dark by 4pm at the moment and snowy.Suppose your weather's worse but we don't have snow tyres or chains .(Where are you ?)
Some of the registers have witnesses others just give the bride and groom .

Hi Suzy
No hurry, just many thanks for when you get around to it.
I'm in Vancouver ..... which is really the banana belt of Canada! We rarely get temperatures below about -10C or -12, and then that's usually at night, and we get much more rain than we do snow. The moderate climate extends about 40-50 miles inland to the east ............. and about 10 or so miles to the north!
In fact, many people (too many!) believe that it never snows in Vancouver, so they try to drive on summer tyres all year, even when it does snow .................... chaos!!
The Winter Olympics are here next February, split between Vancouver and Whistler (about 75-100 miles north) ................. if you watch any of them, you'll get an idea of where I live. Although we don't have the views that the TV will show!

Hi Sylvia
What a lovely place to live.I did visit very briefly for Expo 1980 something. I lived in Portland Ore about 40 years ago .
Will contact you when I get some info.
Sue
PS Heversham is about 2 miles from Sizergh where Elizabeth Airey was living when she married John Park in 1804

Suzy
Expo 86 ... the last major world-wide event in Vancouver, apart from the World Police Games this past summer!
We moved up here from Texas in 1968. We left the UK in 1967, and spent just one year in Texas!
I noticed that ..... and there are some Aireys married Parks, but I haven't yet got around to really sorting them out, as they are siblings of the direct line.
I am pretty certain that there is not that John and that Elizabeth ..... but who knows when I do get down to it?
We're going away on Tuesday ............... about 500 miles north of here where OH's sister lives. It will be cold and white.
I'll be back after Christmas
Merry Christmas. I hope you have a great time

Sylvia
have sent you a PM don't know if you have made enough posts to open it.
I have a copy of Heversham PR marriage of William and Jane.Witnesses Edward Wilcock and Mary Hayhurst.
There is also a Jane Park(?William's sister ) marriage to Edward Wilcock at Beetham
William Park gives his birth place as Kirkby Lonsdale on the 1851 Census
Isabella Park (? Williams sister ) married a Sewart and they ended up in Liverpool do you have any connections to them ?
Jean/Darlingtonian
I've also got a copy of the marriage of William Park of Kikby Lonsdale to Agnes Gibson of Heversham 10 may 1820.Witnesses James Barrow Betty Gibson and Ann Gibson.
PM me if you want it
Sue

Hi Sue
Sorry, being a little distracted at the moment by the Olympics! Not often that we can see events in "real" time. I did read the pm last night, but this is the first chance I've had of being on here since.
Thank you so very much for dong the looking up.
That does sound like 'my" William and Jane! Mary Hayhurst was her younger sister ...... by 2 years, born in 1816. Not sure who Edward Wilcock might be, that surname has not yet turned up in OH's line.
I had seen that 1851 Census, but it is the only one in which he says Kirby Lonsdale.
I don't know about Isabella or Jane ......... I haven't followed his line sufficiently with any confidence that what I'm finding is correct to be sure that either (or both) is his sister, or a relation. Certainly, one of his daughters is called Isabella, and another is Jane .......... which could be a tiny bit of evidence.
I'll pm you with my email address if you would be so kind as to send a copy to me.

Hello There
My Park Tree goes back to Robert Park, B. Killington 1831, M. Margaret Wearing, His father Thomas Park B. 1798 Kendal, M. Ellen Mattinson.
I cannot prove William and Jane (one or two), were the Parents of Thomas. Can you help please ?
Thanks
Jackie Walker (Nee Park)
-
Hi Jackie
Unfortunately I can't prove anything about the children of William Park1756(son of William and Mary) and Jane Rigg1757 (daughter of John and Elizabeth ) They married in 1776 ,first 2 children born around Natland then moved to Stainton by 1784.
William and Jane are living in Killington by 1806 The other children are those on the Killington PR from the IGI.
I suppose Jane could have continued to have children to her mid 40s
Sue

Hi Sue
I checked IGI, and Thomas is listed as a child of William and Jane.
Thanks

william1876 d 1948 m jane machell of whinfell 3sons 2daughters
I knew William Park married Jane Machell in 1876, but is this William Park related to the Margaret Park who married Thomas Machell on 22 October 1832? (Thomas and Margaret had 2 children: Agnes born 3 September 1833/baptized 9 October 1833 in Selside and Thomas born abt. 1835. Agnes died of tuberculosis at the age of 12; Thomas died of Phthisis Pulmonalis at the age of 22.)

Hi Jimbach
Do you know who Robert Park's(1843) parents are?
I also have Whartons of Orton in my family.
Robert Thompson b 1808 m Jane Wharton 1808 cousin of Robert Wharton 1804 father of Elizabeth/Armistead.Further down the line they marry into the Parks What a tangle these lakeland families are !!
That aside I have a lot of Wharton Info if it is of use to you.

Thanks again Jimbach.
-
hi Suzy .. we have to be related somehow. my Wharton's are from wait by , Kirby Stephan .. not Orton .. but Robert Hine from Kendal married Eleanor park(or Airey ). they had Mary Hine .. who had to have married a brocklebank because MARGER ET BROCKLEBANK married my JOHN MILNER WHARTON from Kirby Stephan ..
God what a tangled web . that's all from memory and we are talking around 1800 or pre in case of parks and aireys .
i have somewhere a huge Orton Wharton tree. have i ever passed it on . Jan

Jimbach
Was this the home of Lord Wharton ?
Can't get back to him ,just to James Wharton married 23 Dec 1760, in Asby, Westmorland, to Mary Spooner.

I'm looking for information re. a William Park who owned Mill Bridge Mill, a corn / malt mill near Stainton, Kendal in 1829.
The two subsequent owners are listed as Thomas Hayhurst in 1849, and Gilbert Hayhurst in 1869-85. The owner before William Park was Thomas Howden (in 1797).
I see from the forum and my own searching so far that there are links between the Park and the Hayhurst families.
Does anyone have any documents mentioning the Mill Bridge Mill by any chance?
David
-
Welcome David,
There's so many Park families ....... do you know if his parents were John and Jane Park and did he have a sister Agnes?
I'm following Gibson and Parks of Stainton ......
Jean
-
Hi David
Both Thomas Hayhurst and Gilbert Hayhurst are in my husband's family. Thomas was the younger sibling of my husband's direct ancestor Gilbert. But the Gilbert you are talking about was probably Thomas' son as my Giilbert died about 1852
The Hayhurst, Park and Taylor families are intermingled, with many marriages between them
My records show that Thomas Hayhurst married Elizabeth Askew in Lancashire in 1829, and that they moved to Mill Bridge, Stainton around 1850. Thomas was a Maltster and Farmer of 55 acres. He died in 1868, and Elizabeth lived at Mill Bridge with her sons Thomas and Gilbert until her death in 1875. Thomas jr and Gilbert were joint farmers of 112 acres until Gilbert died in 1886.
There are several William Parks ...... but I have not yet connected "my" Parks with the one who was at Mill Bridge in 1829.
sylvia

Thanks for the replies.
Jean, I don't have any more info yet, I only know the names of owners of the mill but trying to get more details.
Sylvia,
Your records tie in well with the dates that I have. I got the dates from a book about Westmorland water mills, the author had got the dates from a trade directory. The mill and farm still exist (my brother owns the mill, hence my interest). I still have some papers to look through, so will report back if anything interesting comes up.
Thanks for your help
David
-
Thank you David
How interesting!!
That would be good to know more, if indeed you do find any more..
My gut feeling is that the William Park might also be related to husband's family of Parks.
sylvia
-
If it's of any interest David...my William Park married Agnes Gibson on 10th May 1820 ...they lived at Mill Bidge, Stainton...then later on at Stainton House....... William was a Malster and farmer.. then later a land owner his father was John but he did have an uncle called William who died in Kendal 1871 aged 78

Hi Kellygirl
Welcome to Rootschat.The site has just been changed and if I'm typical we who are interested in this topic haven't had notification that you've posted it.
Sylvia's info about William Park and Jane Hayhurst's children is on another post called "John Park and Elizabeth Airey"
If you make a couple more posts you will be able to contact Sylvia direct via a PM.Her husband is descended from a brother of your g granddad.
Merry Christmas to all. Sue
PS If you are connected to Marion R. I have sent her baptism and marriage copies for William Park 1806 ,Joseph's dad.
-
Hi Kellygirl ........... and Sue
Like Sue, I had no idea of the changes on Rootschat!
I have just seen this, after having received an email from, I presume, Kellygirl. I have replied more fully to that email directly to Kellygirl
However, it does seem that I made a serious mistake in that email!
For the record ...................
As we all know, William Park is a common name in Yorkshire and Westmorland ............... and the Parks were prolific families!
The Joseph Park who was one of the 20 children was born in 1848 in Heversham, and was christened 06 August 1848 in Preston Patrick. Further information on that Joseph is as follows ...........
In 1871 Joseph was a grocer’s shop man living in Manchester. He married Mary A ?Marshall in 1872, (she was born ca. 1850 in Lancaster), and had two children, Annie S. Park born ca. 1878 and John T. Park born ca 1880. In 1881, he and his family were living in Windle, Lancashire, with his brother James Park (age 25, grocers manager), and nephew Edward Park (born ca. 1865, grocer’s apprentice, and son of John and Esther Park) as boarders
I had not followed Joseph and Mary any further, until just now ......... and it seems that they did in fact have a son William born ca 1890 in St Helens, according to the 1891 Census
In 1891 Joseph and Mary were living in Leeds, and Joseph was a warehouseman (note, his birth place had been transcribed as Weston Preston Richard, Ireland). They had children ……..Annie J Park, b ca 1878, St Helens, Lancashire; John T Park, b.ca 1880, St Helens; Joseph Park, b. ca 1884, St Helens; and William Park, b.ca 1890, St Helens.
I will be in further contact with Kellygirl

I am the gt gt gt granddaughter of William Park and Jane Hayhurst I am descended from their daughter Jane born c1832 .She married Robert Ainsworth in c1852 and they lived first in Farington and then in Preston.The Hayhursts were millers in the north of Lancashire which borders Yorkshire and Cumbria.
-
Hi Ruth
welcome to rootschat. If you' read this post and the one on John Park and Elizabeth Airey you know how large the Park family is.
l think your William Park (1806)is probably John and Elizabeth's oldest son. I have his baptism and marriage records .PM me if you would like me to email you copies. I am descended from his sister Margaret who married in Sedbergh and ended up in Rochdale. Where are you?
Sue.
-
Hi Sue,
Thank you for your reply. Iam very new to this site and do nt know how to PM. However I should very much like copies of the certificates you mentioned .I am in Lancashire.
Ruth

Hi Ruth , you should be able to send me a PM (personal message ) now you have made 3 posts.l have sent 1 to you that you should be able to click on at top of page when you log on. If you don't see it click on my name against this post and on the left of the details you' ll see send PM.
Hope this makes sense. Sue

Hello Ruth
My husband is descended from Robert Park, the 7th child of William Park and Jane Hayhurst
Your ancestor Jane was the 2nd eldest child (eldest daughter) of William and Jane
We have a handwritten chart of the birthdays of all 20 children ................. written in beautiful copperplate writing by one of the children.
According to that chart, Jane was born 30 December 1833, and was baptised 26 January 1834 in Preston Patrick.
She married Robert Ainsworth March quart 1853, registered Kendal.
You are quite right in that several of the Parks and Hayhursts were corn millers and farmers ........ they moved between the Whittington area of Lancashire and the Preston Patrick area of Westmorland (near Kendal).
They are quite a difficult family to sort out ................ the same forenames are used over and over again, and cousins with similar names exchange mills in Whittington and the Preston Patrick area with some regularity!
I have seen it suggested that the Hayhursts were Quakers, and that they suffered some persecution because of that ............. moving when it got too bad!
Certainly Jane Hayhurst's grandfather, Robert Hayhurst (1767-1842), was a devout Quaker who preached at Brigg Flatts Meeting House in Sedbergh.
At the same time, they got married, baptised and buried in the Church of England
-
Ruth
did you know that Jane Park was living in Farringdon, Lancashire in 1851, as house servant to John and Martha Barrett and family, a tanner and skinner employing 26 men, at Tannery, Farrington Cottage, Farrington, Lancashire.
This presumably is how she came to meet Robert Ainsworth
-
Just a note to say that I posted an update on the John Park and Elizabeth Airey thread, so it should be easier for Ruth to find.

Baptism/Death etc.
Ellen PARK was baptised at St Mark, Natland on the 25 Dec 1768. She was the daughter of William PARK and his wife Mary. Ellen died on the 23 May 1823. A newspaper death notice records her as the relict of Mr. Robert HINDE, auctioneer, of Kendal, aged 54. Ellen's father, William PARK, died on the 6 May 1805. His will mentions his daughter Elinor, the wife of Robert HIND of Kendal and their daughter Mary. Both William and his wife Mary were buried in Kendal. Their MI reads 'In Memory of Mary Park wife of William Park of Storth-End who died 27 April 1796 aged 73 years. And of the above William Park who died 6 May 1805 aged 81 years'. William PARK married Mary ASHTON (a widow) in Kendal on the 14 Jun 1755. Both were recorded as being from Natland. It appears possible** that Mary ASHTON was the widow of Joseph ASHTON of Natland. Joseph ASHTON married Mary ROBINSON (both of Natland) in Kendal on the 29 Dec 1748. Their son John ASHTON married Mary NELSON of Old Hutton in 1775. Mary NELSON was the aunt of Robert HINDE of Old Hutton (bapt. 1768). (** However, the marriage bond for William PARK & Mary ASHTON records Mary's name three times as Mary HAISTING, each time the HAISTING being crossed-out and replaced by ASHTON. Note that a Richard ASHTON alias HAISTING of Natland was buried in Kendal on the 26 Aug 1767. This may have been the Richard born to Joseph ASHTON & Mary and baptised in Natland in 1749, although this doesn't appear to help explain the alias.)
Death, etc.
Robert died on the 6 Jul 1820. Note that his will, dated the 4 Jul 1820 (made shortly after his terrible accident), was witnessed by Jos GOULDEN - presumably his son-in-law to be. Robert was in his 53rd year. This implies that he was born circa 1768. Although still to be proven, it is possible that Robert was the son of Robert HINDE & Ann NELSON of Greenfoot in Old Hutton, who was baptised in Old Hutton on the 28 Aug 1768. This Robert was still alive in 1788 when he signed as a witness to the marriage of my 4x great grandparents in Old Hutton. The will of Ann NELSON's second husband (John MACKERETH), dated the 25 Sep 1830, mentions his step-son, John HIND of Bolton le Moors, the son of his late wife. This John HIND(E) was Ann's eldest son, baptised in Old Hutton on the 17 Feb 1763. As Ann's son Robert was not mentioned within John MACKERETH's will, it would appear that he was deceased by 1830. If the Robert HINDE of Old Hutton (bapt. 1768) died within Westmorland, then the only known candidate is your Robert of Kendal.
Death, etc.
Mary died on Tuesday the 17 Jul 1838. A newspaper death notice states that she was aged 46, the wife of Mr. Joseph GOULDEN (auctioneer) and the daughter of the late Mr. Robert HINDE of Kendal. John BROCKELBANK appears to have been buried in Kendal on the 11 Oct 1820, aged 32. Mary then married Joseph GOULDEN on the 1 Oct 1821 in Burneside (nr Kendal). Marriage notices confirm that Mrs. BROCKLEBANK was the daughter of the late Mr. Robert HINDE (auctioneer) of Kendal. Mary had a further 8 children from her 2nd marriage. Note that the youngest child was named William Park GOULDEN. Her daughter Ellen TAYLOR (nee GOULDEN) also had a son named Robert Hind TAYLOR.

Please find below my family of Robert Hind and Eleanor parks . This was submitted to my tree in 2013 and i have only noticed all their hard work today . I am sure there will be some helpful information to fellow Park /Hind / Kendal watchers here . Robert Hind is my 4th great grandfather . fred
-
Hi Jan.
thanks for all the Parks/ Hind info.
My thinking is that William Park of Killington,son of Wm.Park of Storth End is probably the William Park married to Jane Rigg who is in turn father to John Park who marries Elizabeth Airey of Dent and settles in Old Hutton. Can anybody shed any light on this ?
Storth End is still there just off the main road between the M6 and Kendal. I think the farm at Killington must be under the lake. John Park was a joiner and farmer at Ewe bank near Old Hutton but I can't identify the property. I can't find a will for either Wm.Park (Jun) or John Park.

Hi Another member of my tree . I had seen he was the son of Robert and Mary before now . i believe he is Robert Matthew Hind but this is first time I have seen actual dates ...
I have had a lot of help from Peter Fawcett in this tree. TY .
'' Robert & Ellen also had a son named Robert, born on the 31 Jan 1791 and baptised at St Thomas, Crosscrake, on the 13 Mar 1791. The baptism entry records Robert (snr) as a husbandman of Endmoor and Ellen as the daughter of William Park of Storth End.''
I thought it was CROSSTHWAITE ,SO WILL LOOK UP AREA AGAIN .
Fred.
-
The 1791 baptism was definitely at St Thomas, Crosscrake in Stainton. FamilySearch and Ancestry have many records from Crosscrake erroneously recorded as Crosthwaite.

Hello everybody who might still be active on this thread.
I am yet another who has interest in the Park clans of Westmorland / Yorkshire.
My great grandmother is Mary Ann Bateman nee Park (1870-1955).
I am pretty sure she is the daughter of Robert (1825-) and Agnes Park (1835-) of at one time, Lowgill Farm, Beck Foot.
Ironically for such a prolific family, I have not found a definitive record for Mary Ann Park when single
Would be pleased to share or receive any information,
many thanks
