Is anyone else out there researching John Robinson of Hilderthorpe near Burlington Yorkshire, Merchant & Ship owner who died in 1764 according to the Allan Papers ( 22 Boxes), solicitor & grandson Thomas Allan 1774-1845 who married in 1795 Esther Robinson (1763-1844, father Thomas Robinson 1725-1815)
 Methodist Magazine 1819, page 738 & 1826, pages 289, 361
Thomas & William Robinson were  lay ministers with the newly commenced Methodist Movement mentioned in the family Allan papers in the National Archives.
[13] The original of this letter was preserved by Thomas Robinson Allan, whose mother was a daughter of Thomas Robinson, with his note: 'A letter of Mr. Wesley's which I found among some papers which had belonged either to my grandfather Thomas or to his brother William Robinson.' Thomas died in February 1815; William on September 3, 1819, aged ninety-one. Their father was a merchant and shipowner at Bridlington, and had a farm at Helderthorp, a mile from Bridlington Quay, which Thomas, who had been a hardware merchant in Sheffield, afterwards occupied. William went to sea with their ships, but settled as a merchant in North Shields, and afterwards removed to Bridlington. See Methodist Magazine, 1819, p. 738; 1826, pp. 289, 361

 John Robinson( died 1764) & his sons Thomas ( 1725-1815) & William (died 1819, 91 yrs) seem to have been involved in the early shipping history of Hull & Bridlington before Captain Cook ( 1728-1779)discovered Australia in 1770. Maybe they left Wills?

Re: Arnolds in Dumbrick, Carrigallen, County Leitrim

« Reply #5 on: Sunday 21 December 08 01:45 GMT (UK) »



Hi there, from the 1821 Census for Carrigallen Parish there were three Arnold families in Dumbrick Townland - John born about 1781, with wife Isabella and 5 children, Thomas born about 1780, with wife Jane and 6 children aand William b. 1771 with wife Lilly and 7 children.  None of their children are named Joseph. Presumably they are all related, probably brothers. There were other Arnold families in two adjacent Townlands, Mullyaster - Edward b. 1784 and Frances with 3 children,  and another in Corglafs, no husband with Anne Arnold and 4 children. I am descended from Edward. There were also other Arnold families in the Townlands of Cullies and Guladuff which are several miles south of the above Townlands. Again, no sign of a Joseph.  It is of course possible that Joseph was a grandchild of one of the above and or moved to Dumbrick or one of the northern Townlands in the Parish.  Some of the landlords had holdings in different areas and I have one case where one family seems to have moved from Killeshandra to Carrigallen (10+ miles?) so I guess anything is possible as to where they came from or where they went.  I have copies of some old records showing where the Townlands actually were and even where the rental sites were within some Townlands.  Let me know more specifically some dates so that I can determine if there is anything else I can add.  I also have some records of the Arnold descendants of Edward and his wife Frances Sherritt in subsequent generations in Canada, the US and Australia.  Good luck. GeoffreyS                         Looks like there is already a lot of info about the Arnold family on this site as well as on Google to keep you busy. All the best with your family tree. Sue.

James Arnold, 26, bachelor, farmer, of Cullies (father: Richard Arnold, farmer) to Elizabeth Arnold, 21, spinster, of Cullies (father: John Arnold, farmer) on Feb.22, 1855, in the Meetinghouse, Carryallen(?), County Leitrim. Charles Arnold was a witness. Found this info on web site Earls Family Chronicles by Christopher Earls Brennan. Not your William Arnold but could be his family. Sue.

On the Pike family tree I have a Maude Jerret, parents James and Mary Jerrett, I think they are connected to the Jarrett family of Ballina as Maude Pike`s first two children were born at Lismore, Catherine E Pike in 1891-1892 & Herbert J Pike in 1893.
Benjamin & Maude Pike immigrated to NZ.
John Patrick Jarrettet came to Ballina in 1868, nephew of Charles, he had 11 children, including a James Jarrett who I think could be the father of Maude Pike.
Look forward to your reply.
Sue.

Stone the crows, where did you come out of the woodwork. We did try to track you down, especially Nelle. Rang up all the old researchers, who had mostly died and no one seemed to know where you and your good wife had moved too.
I will send you a personal email with email address.
Sue.

Dear Lesley,
Thank you for your reply as I know three researchers, two in Queensland and one in NSW, like myself, who are related to this Griffith branch and have lots of info, unfortunately, my scanner still isn`t working so I will forward your email on to Nelle who I know will be happy to help and lives in Queensland.
I`d been in contact with a Lesley Griffith from Sydney some years ago who had passed on his research to me which has helped us enormously and we tried to track him down with out success, after his retirement, so we could pass on the updates.
So I thought at last we have found Leslie. Sorry for the over reaction.
Thank to Lesley, we know who you are talking about.
William Simon Griffith, born 1835/6 Ireland, married Mary Anne Adeline Switzer in 1860,
William died 16 January 1900.
You might have seen other info on the net by Robyne, Gillian and myself regarding the Simon Griffith & Rachell Matchett.
Simon Griffith was born in  Co Longford, Ireland and died before 1859. He was a Military Captain in the Scottish/ British Infantry and was also a Postmaster.
Simon married about 1809 Rachel Matchell/tt. I cant type anymore info on this site  because it won`t show what I`m typing so I`ll send you a personal email
Sue.
