Yorkshire (North Riding) / Isabel Simpson, wife of Thomas Close of Melbecks
« on: Sunday 10 February 19 17:07 GMT (UK)  »
I'm looking for any information on the parents of Isabel Simpson, who married Thomas Close on Apr 30 1717 in Grinton. She was born about 1696 but there seems to be a gap in the parish records from May 1693 and July 1696, so I can't find her exact birth or parentage. Can anyone help here?
Thanks,
Xanthe

Graveyards and Gravestones / Greenwich cemetery - any gravestones of the Ruegg family?
« on: Monday 18 April 16 21:50 BST (UK)  »
Hallo,
According to deceasedonline.com, many of the Ruegg family are buried in Greenwich cemetery. I'm looking for anyone who visits that cemetery and can tell me if they have seen any gravestones with the name Ruegg on them. If so, I would love a photo.
Many thanks,

Xanthe

Yorkshire (North Riding) / Blenkirons of Marrick
« on: Tuesday 12 April 16 17:52 BST (UK)  »
Hallo,
I have been researching the Blenkirons of Marrick for some ten years now and I think I have them sorted out from those in Grinton and Reeth. But there are a few questions that I need to find answers for and it is not easy trying to find answers while living abroad (I'm in Berlin). So if anyone can help with the following queries then I would be grateful:
1. Did Bartholomew Blenkiron bapt 24 Apr 1694 marry Elizabeth Dent and if so, when? I have two possible dates: 1724 or 1751. Also his burial date is uncertain and might be 21 Mar 1756. Or was this another Bartholomew?
2. What is the maiden name of Elizabeth, Bartholomews mother and Bartram Blenkiron's wife, whom he married in abt 1686? She could have died in 1740.
3. Thomas Blenkharne (b abt 1630) was from nearby Patrington and married Elizabeth Estrape, according to the parish registers. Estrape is very unusual name and I can't find it anywhere else in the area. Might it be a bad transcription from Eastrop?
And generally, I would love to be in contact with anyone who is researching this family.
Thanks,

Xanthe
