Many thanks Ciderdrinker and Arthurtk for all the great information you've posted. They have clarified and highlighted quite a few issues and directed me in other possible directions.
Apologies for the slight delay in replying but I wanted to pull a few things together from the info you sent to try and clarify Eleanor's marriages and children if possible.
So far I have Eleanor (b. Ingleton 1613), marr. 1st Ingleton 1632 William Newby of Barwick and Draughton, bap. Skipton 1614, bur. Bingley 1636, and had at least 3 children between 1632 & 1636 -
1. Richard Newby, bap. Ingleton 1633, from the Familiae Minorum he marr. before 1660 Elizabeth Dand (b. 1634), died before 1669 when she married interestingly William Mompwesson, rector Eyam, famous for isolating and protecting that village during the plague. Lots online about him. They would appear to have Charles who grad. from Peterhouse College, William, Elizabeth & Eleanor who all died without issue.
2. Robert Newby, bap. Skipton 1634-35. I found his burial at Bingley 30 March 1636
3. William Newby, bap. Bingley 31 Aug 1636. I have no further info on him.
Eleanor is then supposed to have marr. Henry Currer of Kildwick, and of Gawthorpe Hall, north of Bingley. West Yorks. (purchased by him from the Walkers c. 1645, till its sale in 1668 to Robert Benson, father of the first Lord of Bingley). Henry Currer dates are b. 1587, d. 1653-4 and he marr. Anne Wilkinson in 1635. I found Ann's burial at Kildwick 12 Nov. 1646 (the Anne Currer bur. 4 Jan. 1644-45 was her infant daughter), and there were the following baptism records after this date.
1. Henry Currer, bap. All Saints, Bingley 27 June 1647, son of Henry Currer, gent. borne att Draughton
2. Eleanor Currer, bap. Bingley 27 February 1648-49, bur. 5 February 1650-51 (dau. of Henery Currer de Gathorppe, Gent)
3. Katherine Currer, bap. Bingley 17 April 1650, bur. Bingley 29 December 1650 (dau. of Henery Currer de Gathorppe, Gent)
4. Marie Currer, bap. Bingley 20 April 1651 (dau. of Henery Currer de Gathorppe, Gent)
5. Elizabeth, bap. Bingley 10 April 1656 (dau. of Henery Currer de Gathorppe, Gent)
My feeling is that the Skipton Currer's were probably related but not this particular family.
My problem is that the Henry Currer (1587-1653-4) that Eleanor is supposed to marry is a lot older (26 years), and I wonder if she actually married a younger Henry Currer. There is a Henry Currer, son of William and Grace, bap. Kildwick 17 April 1614 who is nearer her in age.
However there is no marriage record to prove anything one way or the other!!
Ciderdrinker. You mentioned a burial - Eleanor w. of Henry Currer of Bingley buried 26.7.1662 at Bingley.
Do you know if the w. is for wife or widow. If she had married the elder Henry C. who died 1653-4, she would be the widow.
Could you possible do me a favour and check if the record says wife or widow?
Eleanor must have married Henry Currer between Nov. 1646 (Anne's death) and June 1647 (young Henry's bap.)
Many thanks again to both for all your help.
