Yorkshire (West Riding) / Joseph Pease b 1678 Shafton Yorkshire
« on: Tuesday 20 November 18 12:42 GMT (UK)  »
Does anyone know who his parents were?

Edward Pease, his Gt Grandson b 1767 states in 'The diaries of Edward Pease, father of English Railways'

"It will be sufficient to state here that the Pease family
was descended from certain Peases of Essex. A member of this family
settled on his own estate at Sikehouse, near Fishlake, Yorkshire, in the
reign of Henry VIII., and a descendant of the Sikehouse Peases is found
residing on his own lands at Pease Hall, Shafton Green, in the West
Riding, at the end of the seventeenth century. His name was Joseph
Pease and he apparently belonged to the yeoman or small landowning
class. This Joseph Pease married in, 1706, Ann Couldwell, who was
heiress in her issue of her brothers William Couldwell, of Cudworth, and
Thomas Couldwell, of Darlington. Joseph and Ann s son, Edward,
went into business with his uncle, Thomas Couldwell, at Darlington,
and was quite settled there by 1744."

however I am unable to find sources for this claimed connection.

Durham / Alice Swinburn b 1805 my 2nd Gt Grandmother. Does anyone know her parents?

Bernard Thistlethwaite’s book ‘The Bax family : an account of the early Quaker Baxes of Capel & Ockley, Surrey with particulars & notes on a number of allied families’
He is Genealogist cousin of mine has Alice Swinburn as daughter of John Swinburn  and Dorothy Swinburn
They were cousins
John was the son of George Swinburn
Dorothy was the daughter of John Swinburn
John and George were brothers, sons of an earlier John Swinburn
Dorothy’s father, John, was married to Catherine Stackhouse
John’s father, George, was married to Alice Unknown
Catherine Stackhouse is related to the famous Theological Scholar Thomas Stackhouse
I have located a Swinburn Famiy History web site which seems to confirm this but But  "THE PEDIGREES OF  THE LANGSTAFFS OF TEESDALE AND WEARDALE" by George Blundell Longstaff says "Alice, da. of John Swinburn of Sunderland, ship-owner, and Dorothy Stackhouse his wife (sister of Thomas Stackhouse the Commentator); m. at Sunderland; d. at Great Ayton 25 iii 1865, aet. 60. 1st Wife. So it would appear that George Blundell Longstaff missed out a generation, linking Alice to the wrong John Swinburn? Can anyone confirm the genealogy I have?
I have found her FT at the following web site: http://www.webring.org/l/rd?ring=ukgen;id=1;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwebspace%2Ewebring%2Ecom%2Fpeople%2Fau%2Fum_7035%2Fstackhouse%2Ehtml
