Thanks Claire & Shaun

Considering the age of the Cemetery, or perhaps the age of the farm, I would have thought that bit of old burial ground in the copse could have been left unploughed!

Thought, I was onto something, I don't really know now.

So:-
Francis Cook married Elizabeth Tomlinson 1825.
and previous generation ... 
Thomas Cook married Elizabeth Thompson.
 
Claire, didn't you find a Hood - Thompson link somewhere?

Now wondering if these HOODs or VINCENTs had family Quaker links somewhere and if the family are working on the Quaker farm.


I don't have the previous page saved, to confirm the residence.

The residence underneath might be Summer Croft?

Hi Mark

It looks a bit like Summer Croft.

The residence on the prior page , with writing just as bad, looks to me like

Ferry House ? (possibly  ::))

Considering Summercroft, Yorkshire is reputed to be one Farm, a few claiming to be born there in the 19th Century Census, it seems a small community might be living there, or a high turnover of occupants.

Having a job to trace their nee surnames and one couple's children, because the Mother's surname doesn't seem to be matching amongst the siblings.

Summercroft Yorkshire - Births
Rebecca HARDBOTTLE (Married, poss nee BRITAIN?), born about 1821.
various BARKERS, born about 1835 to 1846 (including Mary Barker born abt 1844-6).
Hannah SINGLETON, born about 1851 (Father Joseph Singleton).
Hannah DENNIS, (Married, poss nee BRIGGS & nee SCOTT) born about 1858 - 1860.
Hannah Mary WOODALL (claimed Married name), born about 1876.
Elizabeth FOX, (Married name), born about 1877.

Marriage on 5 June 1838 Brayton by licence

William HARDBOTTLE  full age bachelor farmer of Fair Oaks. Father: Wm Hardbottle - farmer

Rebecca BRITTON full age spinster of Hagg Bush. Father: James Britton - farmer
Both signed
Witnesses: Jane & Hannah Hoggard, Cornelius Layerek  ( Laverack - possibly ?)
*****************************

Hannah Briggs married George Denniss 1877 Selby Registration District.
*****************************

Hannah Mary TRANSFIELD married Arthur WOODHALL 1894 Selby Registration District
*****************************

Elizabeth Fox was 'married' to Thomas Fox - maiden surname taken from their children was DENNISS.

Can't readily see a marriage, but from information taken from census married c1901. There is a marriage in the Howden Reg. district of a Thomas Fox to an Elizabeth BRIGGS in the 4th Qtr. 1900.

Possibly related to the second couple listed and she was possibly a widow ::)

The electoral rolls show a Jenkinson family (James, Lillie and John William) at Summercroft until 1937.  After that the address disappears. My guess is that the land was ploughed over during the second world war.
