Best family from Middleton Tyas
« on: Saturday 04 December 10 00:26 GMT (UK) »
Hi

I have an old large leather bound family bible which belonged to the Best family from Middleton Tyas, Yorkshire.  The inscription on the bible is G & M Best 1830.  On inner pages it has birth and death dates for family members covering 2/3 generations.

Is  anyone is researching this family?

  Just noticed this post Julie.
My husband has an ancestor who married a Best. She was Isabella Best and she married Thomas Madderson in 1832at Durham.
 I think the place in your post should read Middleton Teesdale.

   Isabella Best was born 1808, daughter of Nathaniel Best and Sarah Close.
   If any of these names are mentioned in your book, Id be  most grateful for any details there-in,
                                    regards, Dolly

Hi Dolly

Ive looked at the names in the bible and what little info Ive found about the Best family and Im afraid there isnt an Isabella or Nathaniel Best mentioned.

This family came from Middleton Tyas, Yorkshire which is near Richmond, it  is 25 miles from  Middleton In Teesdale which is in Co Durham near Barnard Castle.  So its not so far away, there could be some connection.

George was born 1794 North Cowton, Yorkshire and was a blacksmith.  His father was John Best.  Geroge and Margaret had 3 sons( 2 died young and 1 without marrying at 32) and 5 daughters.  I suppose this is why I managed to pick up their family bible in a second had book shop about 25 years ago.

Happy Hunting

Many Thanks for looking and answering  Julie,

     Sorry to question the Middleton Tyas, I honestly have never heard of it, and I have been to Yorkshire many times in the past. It does sound nice to say tho'

      That was a lucky find for you,  shame tho' that there was no family left to inherit this precious book.  thanks Dolly
