Yorkshire (North Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: Lothersdale in desperation 1841
« on: Thursday 27 November 08 07:31 GMT (UK)  »
I have nibbled at this thread before Rowdy, just trying to be helpful.

However, much to my surprise, I now find that the Shuttleworths and Surgill Head are connected to my tree. In Particular I am interested in Joseph Shuttlewoth 1824 son of James Shuttleworth and Ann [Nanny] Heaton.

Joseph m Alice Hartley.

Further, after searching for several years I now have copies of the Shuttleworth Lothersdale Trees attributed to Kenneth Wilson.

Yorkshire (North Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: Askrigg parish records possible?

Hello SBK

Thanks for your reply. Of course I had not realised you were not living in the UK. Unfortunately I cannot undertake to check the records for you myself. However I notice you have previously been referred to the Beaulands Dales Census Site. I have actually corresponded with Christine Amsden - who runs this site, she now lives in Canada. If you have not asked her before it is worth sending her an E Mail and asking your question. She is a wonderful lady and her Web Site is without equal in my experience.

Good Luck

Lancastrian.

Thanks for your message.

I am interested in the names Wilson and Hartley. I hasten to add that I have no connection with the Wilson's who owned the mill.

My principal area of interest is now prior to 1841 for I have got the Census information myself.

Thanks
Lancastrian.

When I was in Askrigg a couple of years ago, I was able to spend a morning looking at a transcript of all the Parish Records from St Oswalds Church.

They were in an upstairs room at the post office just across the road from the church.

If you are local this may be of help to you.

I too have an interest in Lothersdale and knew I had come across Surgill Head in my own research. Kenneth Wilson wrote a book - The History of Lothersdale - now out of print - from which I quote:-

SHUTTLEWORTHS
Here again Lothersdale and Cowling were closely associated and the family trees we shall produce will tell something of the story.
The Shuttleworth who was the real village character was 'arry O'Surgill 'ead' who repaired the mill dams with clay from near his house. Callers at Surgill Head would often find Harry and his wife smoking Church Warden pipes.
James Shuttleworth from COWLING conducted the choir at the Church and would rub his neck with a tallow candle if he were hoarse.

If you care to let me have your phone number, I can fill you in some more.#

I have photographic copies of 1841 and 1851 for Lothersdale and also found Kenneth Wilson's The History of Lothersdale immeasurably helpful.

If you care to give me a name or names to look for I will do what I can to help
