'Shiply' near Romaldkirk- what/where is it?
« on: Wednesday 04 January 12 17:37 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

I'm looking for a bit of help if anyone knows the answer to this puzzle,

When researching my Stabler ancestors, I have a family living in Mickleton near Romaldkirk. 3 of their children's deaths are recorded on Familysearch in an odd way- instead of a burial record it gives a date of death and a residence of Mickleton, the name of the batch is 'Shiply Co. Durham' and the records all seem to be from the Romaldkirk area. E.g. one of the records for 'George Stabel' gives a date of death of '23rd April 1792 Shiply co Durham'  and residence Mickleton'. What is Shiply? And why is this a death record rather than a burial and why not in the usual Romaldkirk church? If anyone knows it would be a great help.

Thanks for reading and best regards,

Dan

High and East Shipley are about 2 miles SE of Romaldkirk and in Co. Durham.  The parish of Romaldkirk is in North Yorkshire but on the border.  I don't know what the parish records have in regard to deaths or burials.  I know the extracted records of the IGI do not include deaths or burials--only baptisms and marriages.

Go to Yorkshire in Genuki, find Romaldkirk and towards the right it says "Nearby places"  select that and look for Shipley--you can then select a map of the area.

Thanks for the reply, I thought that might be the place but wasn't sure as it seemed to be just sprawling countryside on google maps, shows what I know. Not sure if anyone knows why the records are presented in this way rather than being straightforward Romaldkirk burials, if anyone has an idea I'd be very interested to know.

Cheers, and special thanks to Janis, I think this is about the third time you've helped me on here over the years so many thanks.

High Shipley is a farm, near Egglestone, where one of my maternal ancestors (Rayne family) lived in the 16th century. The existing farmhouse is very old, though I am not sure if it is the original 16th century building. This is how it looked in 1993 (click the photo to see it bigger):

Hi. I'm interested to see your death records for Shiply, Durham. I've found a 71 yr old who died at Shiply in 1791 but his address was Baldersdale, a few miles west - he wrote his will 5 weeks before. Now, I've just found his son who also died at Shiply, aged 29, in 1793.
I've found a lead mining post on here that also refers to deaths at Shiply, they lived at Holwick, many  miles NW of Shiply - well beyond Mickleton also. One of those is dated 1800 so this covers at least 10 years. Could it have been some kind of hospital??

Durham Records Online has 64 pages of the Stabler name.  Free to view the index as some I have printed out below. If you see a Stabler you are really interested in you pay a small sum and you can print out the full record from the Parish Record. I use it a lot.

Hello.  i'm going to the Durham Record Office this week to see if I can find more about the Shiply deaths by looking at the original documents.  If you let me have the names and death dates for your Mickleton people I'll look them up also.  Looking at familysearch.org there were hundreds of deaths at Shiply but no burials recorded ..... we're suspecting smallpox but where were they buried?
