Hello Paul

Thank you for your interest and information about paperwork regarding the Retreat.

Convalescent or homes with 'Retreat' in their names were often Quaker establishments.

1790

An Act for building a bridge over the River Ouse at Selby [Local Act of Parliament 31 Geo III c.lx]

Your interest in the map has thrown up names Theodosia Hudson of Brayton and John Christopher Burton Dawnay, as Viscount Downe. [Called Baron Dawney in England].

I wondered who Viscount Downe was.

1763 St James, Picadilly
Rt Hon John Viscount Downe married
Lora Burton of this Parish at the dwelling house of the Hon. William Burton Esq in Clifford Street by Special Licence. Present:- Wm Burton; E Hildyard & Jas Dupres[?]

In my wider tree the Hudson surname features by marriages, along with Abraham Hodgson, Gentleman of Kingston upon Hull (Abraham M Hodgson on the probate listing).

The 1790 Act features in the North Yorkshire County Record Office Blog
