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.

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
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.
