On the old familysearch site there is a Timothy Middleton christened on 30 Dec 1721 at Kirkby Wharfe between Tadcaster and Ulleskelf. Father shown as Anthony Middleton, mother not shown.
No details for Anthony.

This village is only something like 6-7 miles away from Brayton/Selby.

Could this be the right Timothy?


Here is a list of all the Middletons in Brayton Between 1700-1900 recorded on familysearch.org...no Timothy though!

I have been to St. Wilfreds church in Brayton this morning for half an hour armed with notepad and camera.

Unfortunately, there is nothing to record as all the oldest gravestones (nearest to the church as per usual) are not standing headstones but laid flat on their back. This has meant that over time uncut grass, mud, soil etc has splattered over them and therefore most of them are overgrown.

When you could clear away the dirt and see them most of the inscriptions had worn away on most of them. The ones I could read I couldn't find any Middleton graves.

Looks as though you may have to contact the Borthwick Institute at York University to see if they can do some searching for you.....

I took some photos of the church and churchyard for you to give you some idea what it is like nowadays.... I will PM them to you...

Thank you so much for your time. I found someone yesterday on ancestry who is also descended from Timothy Middleton. I now have a hugs selection of fellow Middleton's to go at.
Thanks for the photos in advance

I also saw tat there is a Middleton hall near Ulleskelf

I mentioned Kirkby Wharfe earlier....that is just up the road from Ulleskelf so that really could be him....

There is also a row of houses in Ulleskelf called Middleton Terrace....

the other person on ancestry would seem to confirm that this is Timothy one and the same

Hi Simon

My husband is a descendant of William Vollans and Frances Fenton

Their daughter Mary was married to William Vouse (Voase)

Mary and William died of cholera a day apart in Selby 6/7 October 1849

I have been trying to find Frances Fentons baptism/birth/christening would you know it? A census record suggests born Brayton from memory (cant check at moment)

Hello

I am descended from Mary Vollans' sister Sarah 1816-1909. I believe Frances Fenton was born in Thorpe Willoughby part of Brayton. I do not know where the records for Brayton are but have asked the priest there so hopefully we can get this sorted. Have you any Vollans pictures?
