Roman Catholics born Selby 1780s - are Baptisms at Stourton?

[sallyyorks]

Hi Sally

The Honourable James Talbot 1769 was tried at the Old Bailey for exercising his Office (James Robert Talbot).
The last prosecution for celebrating Mass was in 1771. [168 years after Elizabeth I]
Also other restrictions imposed upon Catholics.

I see the restrictions and trials imposed, for following Catholic religious convictions, as a type of persecution.

Hi Mark

James Talbot was acquitted
It seems to have been a rather tiresome time wasting affair, that was chucked out of court

'Council for the crown. - My lord, we despair of being able to make out the charge against the defendant.'
Acquitted .

Added. I had a quick browse on the above Old Bailey Online website, by chance there might be some Hood's. There are quite a few though I couldn't see any 'from Yorkshire', but I did notice quite a few 'Yorkshire men' who seemed to have been in London running pubs, hehe

Hi Mark
 ...

Edward Burton (Sarah Russell's grandfather) was living in dwellings owned by Lady Stourton in 1781 and later Lord Petre   

Interestingly, in 1717 there are some Burton's of Selby in the West Yorkshire Roman Catholic Oath records and whilst browsing the following were listed in 1717:

Nathaniel Hudd
Roger Hudd
Samuel Hudd

Hi

Thank you dobfarm. It does interest me, there were Hood Catholics dotted about in Yorkshire.

There are Roman Catholic Registers, separate to the C of E Registers (before the late 18th Century Catholic Relief Acts).

My late Grandfather said 40 years ago that there were devout Catholics who would NOT side with the C of E.

Hardwicke's Marriage Act, forced many faiths to marry in the C of E church, but not all of them were C of E attenders.

Until the Catholic Relief Acts came in, the Roman Catholics could not have their own chapel officially and therefore unlikely had their own local burial ground.

Research of the early to mid 18th Century Selby Registers indicate the Parish of Selby (Abbey) Church buried Presbyterians, so not all burials were C of E members. The Selby Presbyterians had their own Chapel from circa 1700, but obviously no burial ground.

A project to film Registers still held by the Roman Catholics began and I understand this project is not yet complete for Yorkshire.

Also, if a Catholic did not swear an Oath his/her land could be seised. It was also awkward to pass property.

The screws were really on devout Catholics and life was made as difficult as possible.

Good afternoon

I was drawn to this post because I too am researching the history of a catholic family in the Selby area. In fact they are mentioned by one of the posters in passing.

It is the Hinsley family. The earliest I have been able to evidence is John Hinsley who married Susanna Cockin/g in 1759 at St Lawrence, Snaith.

I understand the Catholic Church in Carlton opened in 1842 and prior to that services took place in a room at what would become Carlton Towers. George HInsley, grandson of the above couple, was buried at the new church in 1847. That is the earliest concrete proof I have of Catholicism in the family, I would like to know how far back it goes.

I would be interested to see the list of recusants mentioned if anyone can point me to it. I would like to see whether the Hinsleys are on it.

I am aware that a later generation provided Cardinal Hinsley, Archbishop of Westminster.

Thanks very much for any help you can offer in pointing me to documents or databases regarding the Catholicism.

Hello

Thank you Louise and Frank (for highlighting Cockin).

Roman Catholic records (not online yet) are usually accessed via the Priest at the Church concerned.

Various County and City Record Offices have some Catholic Registers on film / fiche now.


St Mary's Carlton, R.C.
Apparently, the R.C. Leeds Archives does not usually hold Registers. However their Archives replied 4 Oct 2017:-
The Registers for St Mary's, Carlton, go back to 1744 and some of the early ones are kept here at the Diocesan Archives. The remainder are held at the church.

Leeds Diocesan Archives [Roman Catholic]
Hinsley Hall
62 Headingley Lane
Leeds
LS6 2BX

http://www.dioceseofleeds.org.uk/archives/family/family.php

"Please note the Archives team are unable to carry out record searches on behalf of family historians"


Selby R.C.
Regarding Selby (late 18th Century), according to Rootschatter Claire, the Selby entries are amongst the entries in a R.C. Leeds Register (online).

This would figure, because every two weeks in the 1780s a Catholic Priest came from the Leeds area, to the house of Lord Petrie's Steward (Steward of the Manor of Selby), to hold a service.

I had a quick look on the Margaret Higgins database of Catholics 1607-1840 but the only Hinsleys seem to be in Staffordshire, unless they used some other spelling, cb

Thanks everyone. I wrote to the parish priest and he promised to get back to me at some point. Watch this space.
