What happened to John Cook & Frances Crowder 1812-1813 at Knottingley?

[BushInn1746]

Hello

I was wondering what happened to John Cook after 1812 at Knottingley & then Francis/Frances Crowder after 1813 at Knottingley (who seem to disappear as Occupiers to the George Wilkinson property)?

Did they die at Knottingley, if so, their ages and when, please?

Also when this George Wilkinson of Knottingley, died / buried?


Crowder of Pontefract & Brotherton near Ferrybridge
Discovered quite some information on the Crowder family, who were Bankers at nearby Pontefract - Crowder, Perfect, Hotham, and Hardcastle and also dealing with Bankruptcy.

John Crowder was Deputy Receiver of Rents and Revenue of H. M. in Right of His Duchy of Lancaster for the counties of York & Nottingham. Also property agent and working with a Mr Bower.

John Crowder, Esq., resided at Brotherton near Ferrybridge (immediately North of Knottingley) and his address is also given as Brotherton Castle.

Thanks Mark

Were John Cook and Frances Crowder a couple ? Or are those years when they were born ?

Apologies if you're going over old ground

Hello Claire

No not a couple as far as I know, this is totally new relating to Knottingley.

Reason for my interest is a Francis/Frances Crowder and Geo Hood in 1813 appear as Occupiers in the Knottingley Land Tax for only 1 year (extract featured - 2nd image), after an unknown James Knowles and John Cook in 1812 (also featured - 1st image).

In 1814, Occupiers Frances Crowder and Geo Hood also disappear.

Wondering if John Cook has died (although no suggestion of Executors) and Crowder / Hood are there to deal with matters, or perhaps deal with a business at the premises.

In 1814 George Wilkinson has completely new Occupiers (not featured).

Doh!! never moved the bar to see the rest of the image.

I can only see two burials at the minute for a Frances CROWDER, the second can be ruled out, too young.

Frances Crowder buried 7 Jan 1844 Hull, Holy Trinity, Yorkshire, aged 77 years bn c1767, abode Myton ?

the other

Frances CRowder born 1801 died 1875 Hull. ( From BMD index, no burial given)

Hi Claire and All

Thanks, I have re-hashed the questions a little.

It seems a John Cook has been at Knottingley for several years and then in 1813 Geo Hood replaces him (along with a Frances or Francis Crowder) for one year.

In 1814 they are gone too.

Oooh!! There is a FANNY CROWDER ( widow) buried in Knottingley 2 April 1828 aged 73 years

Looks like John Crowder Esq. died c1838, left a fairly lengthy Will. Looks like he married into a wealthy family, the Pulleyns ~ I've been working on this family with someone else, small world.

Hello All,

Thank you Claire.

Unfortunately, looks like no Will, unless there are other Yorkshire Calendars.
