William Allison (1765)

[cric]

My wife's 4x great grandparents are William Allison (1765) & Mary Scotson (1758), who married in Osmotherly on September 9th 1786. I think he is the son of William Allison (1742) and Mary Brown (C1740).

I should be pleased if this could be confirmed and also when they died.

Thanks

It appears they were both from Thimbleby :

William Allison and Mary Scotson both of Thimbleby in this Parish married by Licence.

Kind regards,

I'm not sure whether this is William, or not :

Burial date : 15th April 1837
William Allison
Age : 81 years
Approx year of birth: 1756
St Peter & St Paul's, Osmotherley
North Riding of Yorkshire

Again, a good possibility for Mary :

Burial date : 3rd February 1850
Mary Allison
Age : 90 years
Approx year of birth: 1760
St Peter & St Paul's, Osmotherley
North Riding of Yorkshire

Is this Mary in 1841, Chris :

1841 census :

Yorkshire, Osmotherley
Thimbleby

Mary Allison, 80

Born in County

The Thimbleby connection would certainly fit with the marriage and Mary's
age with the above mentioned burial.

I think he is the son of William Allison (1742) and Mary Brown (C1740).

Chris - could I ask where you found this information and these dates, please ?

Pels,

This was from one of my other correspondents. I am unsure of it, that's why I said  "I think he was the son of...".

Thanks very much for all the other information - it is a great help. I hadn't picked up the Thimbleby connection previously, but this seems correct.

Many thanks, and if you find out anything else, please let me know.

Please forgive the idiots guide, but I only found the Osmotherley Transcripts about a fortnight ago. I'd never have thought to click on the York link when there's also one for Yorkshire. As far as I can see the pages you need for the births might not be there - but you will find the marriage I quoted earlier. Not all the earlier pages are in the right order, so you'll have to be patient.

Thanks Pels - You're a star
