Hi SGF28,
Many thanks for your information. Regarding the Benjamin Fletcher born 1713 died 1780. That could be Benjamin's father. The church, St Mary the Virgin, Whitby is the church most of the Fletcher family seem to have been christened/married or buried in before they emigrated or moved further afield.
Regarding the Benjamin at Bog Hall (Ruswarp), he is the correct Benjamin i am looking for but now totally lost in where to search next. Any further help you may be able to give would be a big bonus but many thanks for getting back.
Kind Regards
Mike Fletcher

SGF28,
My George Fletcher born 1765 married a Hannah Dale so he was not the George who died Mar 1769. I may be on the wrong track or there is two different Benjamin Fletchers.

George Fletcher who marries Elizabeth Lynass in 1834, was born 23rd January 1805, baptised 24th January 1805 , at Ugthorpe/Lythe, parents George, blacksmith and Hannah Fletcher.(Bishops Transcripts of baptisms Yorkshire).

(another transcription has George born and baptised on 14th January)

George Fletcher, blacksmith, and Hannah Dale married on 1st January 1791 Lythe, after Banns. Both of this Parish.
Witnesses: Richard Dale and Joseph Park

SGF28,
Many thanks for your information, i am in the process of ordering Elizabeth's documentation for further investigation. You are spot on regarding the information for other searchers. Once again, many thanks for your help.

I am wondering if this is Benjamin's marriage:

26th June 1748
Hawnby North Yorkshire
Benjamin Fletcher of Hawnby
Elizabeth Scott of Pickering married after Banns

Children with father Benjamin, baptised Hawnby
Andrew baptised 7th May 1749
John baptised 16th December 1753
Alice baptised 23rd May 1756, of Bilsdale
Mary baptised 15th April 1759, of Bilsdale

Haven't found a George born in Hawnby :( Maybe they moved to Whitby after Mary's birth :-\

Burial 31st August 1756, Benjamin Fletcher son of Benjamin Fletcher of Bilsdale
