Occupation Interests / Re: Thomas Fawell - a 'gent', 'esquire'
« on: Tuesday 17 January 17 20:49 GMT (UK)  »
Hello
I'm aware that this is quite an old post but I thought I would reply just to say that I too am related to the 2 generations of Thomas Fawell. In fact I live in Yarm and as well as knowing the town very well, the house I live in is still on land the at came down from the Fawell line and my grandmother grew up on a farm that they bequeathed to her grandparents. In addition I used to work at Preston Hall Museum and did a lot of work on the connection between the Fawells and Burton Fowler family of Cherry Burton and Preston. I am quite willing to share wha I know but it is easiest for me to do this in old 'snail-mail' from - so if there is a secure way for us to exchange addresses I will gladly do so

Australia / Re: David WALKER 1854 help please

Thank you both for posting so much information. This update is very interesting, I wonder if David and poor Isabella were able to keep in touch. I am glad to hear she was free to marry again when she did. As I mentioned, David and Isabella were my 3x gt grandparents so I'm a direct descendant and fascinated by their lives, no matter how grim! I had hoped my mother had got a marriage certificate for their son James to Jane Ann Hodgson (my 2 x gt grandparents), however she hasn't so that's something else to pin down.
Thanks again
Jo

One Name Studies: T to Z / Re: Vayro and Varo Research

Hi

I have just discovered that my 4 x great grandmother Mary Stott married William Vayroh at East Witton, Yorkshire in 1828. Her first husband David Walker of Ellingstring had died in 1825 leaving her with their 3 children. Mary and William Vayroh had 3 children; Willliam 1828, Mary 1830 and Stephen 1831 before she died in 1836. I understand William Vayroh is buried in Darlington. I don't know a vast amount about them yet but was struckk by the unusual name.

Hello

Thanks for the reply, I realized that the post was quite a while ago. I have shared the photo publicly as I know how nice it is to actually see the faces of our ancestors. Also the original, which I have, is not in great condition so scanning it meant saving it. Any information you can share would be lovely, I've just started focusing on the Walker part of my family tree again after looking at other parts for a while. I think I have James' sisters as Mary and Deborah and his younger brother as William. I also think I have information that Isabella re-married to Thomas Oliver though I haven't researched the original documents to verify this yet. I have just checked and I don't have the marriage certificate of James Walker to Jane Ann Hodgson but think my mother may have it, so will find out. We have traced him through all census data and know that though he was baptized in Knaresborough he was at Ellingstring in 1851 aged 4, then at 14 he had left home to become a servant at Firby. I have found David as an apprentice blacksmith in 1841 though haven't gone back any further with him yet - If you know more and don't mind sharing that would be great. I believe Davids parents were David Walker and Mary Stott of Masham but don't know much about them so far. I don't live too far away from where they all lived, I'm in Yarm which was formerly the northern border of North Yorkshire and often (particualrly in the summer) go out to the Dales around Masham. Quite nice to know some of my roots are there!

Hello
I have just discovered this conversation and it seems that David Walker who was transported to New South Wales was my 3 x great grandfather. He was the father of my 2 x great grandfather James Walker who was baptized in Knaresborough in 1847. I have just started to research more about him and as yet haven't found details of his brothers/sisters but know that his father was David, a blacksmith of Ellingstring and his mother was Isabella Caygill. Fascinating to learn the details of his sentencing and transportation. I have a photograph of James Walker (attached) with his wife and some of their children. They had 10, 8 of whom survived to adulthood, including my great grandmother Maria Maude Walker. James was always a farm hind and spent his later years at Ketton Hall Farm in Brafferton, County Durham. He died in 1918 and is buried in Darlington. I wonder what became of David. What a tough life Isabella must have had. Really glad I found your posts. Jo.

Hello
I am a descendent of Arthur and Jane Ellen Ayton. Thier daughter Frances Alice Ayton was my great grandmother. Arthur was the son of James Ayton (often spelt Hayton) and Ann Long, he had 7 brothers and a sister (can supply details if you want them), he was born at Sowerby near Thirsk, North Yorkshire. He married Jane Ellen Lonsdale in 1889 at Middlesbrough. Jane Ellen was the daughter of Richard Lonsdale and Sarah Peat, she was born at Thormanby near Thirsk, she had 2 brothers and a sister, also 2 half brothers and half sister called Ellis. Arthur and Jane Ellen Ayton lived at Alexandria Street in Middlesbrough when they were married, later were at prospect cottage, Eaglescliffe near Yarm, then Mill House, just up the road from there. There children were:
Lilly, Benjamin (who died in WW1), Frances Alice, then 2 daughters both called Annie who both died in infancy, then Elsie and finally Walter. Jane Ellen Ayton died in 1934, me and my mother found her grave at the church in Egglescliffe a few years ago, it was unmarked but now has a small pot with her name on, her 2 baby daughters Annie are in the same churchyard. Arthur went on to re-marry and moved to Melsonby near Richmond, Yorkshire. He died there in 1938. Can supply any other details I have if you wish. We had always been told that Elsie married and went to NewZealand.

Hello
Thanks for supplying all this information. The trouble with a lot of mine is that its research i've inherited and don't always know where the information has come from. I will have to re-trace my line back carefully I think and look at the evidence. I will have a chat with my mother who has some of the certificated etc. Will let you know of my findings!
