With apologies, just bumping this thread. It seems a remarkable name to have in the depths of Yorkshire - I'd love to know where this guy came from.

Hello @Pinetree and @jess5athome - I'm so sorry, I have only just seen your replies! Thank you so much!

@Pinetree - where did you see the register?

@jess5athorne - how would I know whether there's a plot?

Yorkshire (East Riding & York) / Burial in Goole?
« on: Monday 01 January 18 00:41 GMT (UK)  »
I wonder if someone can help me with the burial place of my GGG Grandmother.

She died on 11 Mar 1899 in the Union Workhouse, Goole. Name: Margaret Rogers, née Carr.

I don't really know where to look, having tried all the online sites. I live in SE London so it is hard to do archives etc. Happy to swap lookups etc if I can help someone else.

So, does anyone think we have a chance of finding the location where Matthew Van Valkenburgh's clearly sizeable house was? Presumably, on the site of another building now?

Hi, just coming in on this  :) .
The book "Thorne Mere & The Old River Don" by Martin Tylor has a little snippet, Martin used among others, the historical sources of John Leland (1506 - 1552) who gives a brief description of his visit to Thorne and his boat journey from Thorne to Sandtoft, crossing Thorne Mere on his way.
The Middle Ings / Middlings is the area along the centre of which runs along the A18 (Scunthorpe Road to a local like me  ;) ) in the area of what is now the "Black Bull" public house.

Frank.

Added, I have not read all of the thread yet, apologies if I have duplicated anything.

Many thanks for this. Do you have a copy of this book / PDF online? Where can I get it?

'Middle Ings, North Toft and Heynes', with map


http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C5146061

It would seem (Then marsh country wetlands bog with semi defined water course) the old meandering river course of the River Don spit near Thorne into two forks, one fork going to join the river Aire between villages Rawcliffe and  Airmyn, the other fork heading East to join the river Tren, across Hatfield Chase (wetlands) North of the todays canal from Thorne to the river Tent

This is a great find. Thanks.

I know one of my ancestors lived at 'Middle Ing' or Middleing' near Hatfield Chase. But I cannot find this location. Can anyone help me pinpoint it?



Do you know his/her occupation by any chance?  :)

Frank.

OK, well my ancestor was Matthew Van Valkenburgh, already referred to in this thread. He was connected with the draining project.

Does someone have the means to overlay the old map with the new? I think there's a website somewhere where you do this kind of thing, but I don't know what it is.
