Hi Ann

Do you have them in 1861?  Is it just 1851 you want?

Hi, I am quite confused about Wharram Percy. According to information it was deserted in 1517, yet, I have ancestors who are shown as being born there from the 1500s up into the 1700s.

I was wondering whether they did in fact come from some neighbouring village or villages? Does anyone have any comment on this?

Hi Jeanette,

Like you, this now has me intrigued.

And details for the dates and current locations of parish records, which include the later years when it was supposedly deserted :

Hello

I am intrigued too as my ancestors were born in Wharram Percy.  I received a message today stating that the subject had been taken off by Berlin-Bob!!!
