Whitby Burial Thomas Bennison

[soulsister]

Is anyone able to look up a burial or death for a Thomas Bennison? I think he died between 1823 and 1841 as he is in a Trade Directory for 1823 but does not appear on the 1841 census.

I think he was born around 1763, going by his age at time of marriage.

Any help most appreciated!

Hi Oly

Many thanks for your reply! I did have that baptism, but only from the IGI so none of the details just the date and place really. I was unsure as to whether it was my man or not because of his age compared to that of his wife, but it just has to be him!  I think he may have lied at his wedding because of the age difference! He said he was 40 in 1803!!

Thank you!!

Robert and Martha Bennison had further children -

Robert born 2nd Dec 1759
Mary born 16th Feb 1764
Martha born 11th July 1767
John 28th July 1771 (Born 28th June) burial 16th Oct 1772

Robert Bennison buried 21st July 1796 72years (Farmer), Newholm
It looks like Thomas took over the farm was his wife Sarah
28th March 1802 Martha 71 widow of Robert (farmer) of Newholm buried.

The first Bennison mentioned in my records was in 1683, Jane dau of Thomas

Oly, that is fantastic!! Thank you very much!!

Yes, Thomas's wife was Sarah. She was Sarah Burton, born circa 1783 in Skelton. She died in 1861. 


1683! I wonder whether all of my Bennisons are in those records!! I don't know much about them before Thomas and Sarah, though Thomas has always intrigued me because of the age difference between him and Sarah. I'd always thought he was married previously, but never seen anything to prove it. Perhaps he was just too busy on the farm and once his mother died realised a woman was needed in the house!!!

Hi Soulsister & Oly

I have just been reading your posts, I am not to sure if I have spoken to Soulsister before about the Bennisons, ( the memory is going )

I have two Bennisons in my tree Jane born 1765 and Elizabeth born 1774 in Liverton, they where both married to William Shaw my 4 x great grandfather,Elizabeth was my 4 x great grandmother.

I do not know anything about them befor there marrages, and have often wondered if they where sisters or cousins.

No harm in asking if you have come across them in your research as I would love to know who there father was.

Hi Kath

I have not come across those girls as yet, but I hadn't gotten as far back as that until Oly gave me those details above! If I see anything like them in my search I shall let you know!

Hello Kath

No Jane or Elizabeth to fit your years I think Soulsister may be able to help you later.
