Demaine.

[N.Demaine92]

I'm looking for a william demaine born 1679 in pateley bridge

And a warm welcome to Rootschat from me. 

Could you let us know where the information about the birthplace and year comes from?  (Is it a transcript, an online tree, a deduction based on other sources?)

As arthurk says, there are several Demaines (with spelling variants) in the Skipton area (based on transcriptions on FreeREG) around the mid 1600s, but I haven't spotted a baptism for William c1679 yet - although not all parish registers have been transcribed.

Depending on when the children were baptised, there is a possible marriage (on FreeREG)  27 Sep 1715 Fewston (which is near Harrogate, about 10 miles from Pately Bridge) - William DEMAYNE and Margat BUTTERY.  (This might be the same person as William DUMAINE, son of John, baptised 19 Nov 1693 in Fewston).

No definitive solutions yet, but Rootschatters are on the case!

(p.s. - if you could cite sources for your information it would be very helpful - as you have traced the line back well over 300 years you probably already know that parish registers are far more reliable than some online trees!)


I've seen it on other people's trees, my auntie has also seen it. She's actually on ancestry.com so she can widen her search much more than me.

I've seen it on other people's trees, my auntie has also seen it. She's actually on ancestry.com so she can widen her search much more than me.

The problem with online trees is that they don't all quote their sources and they aren't always accurate.  I would be very wary of trusting trees which don't give provable sources.

I do recommend that you ensure that all entries on your tree are provable - either by images of original documents (such as Parish Registers, BMD records and censuses) or by reference to reliable transcripts of original sources (for England I use FreeREG, FreeBMD and the GRO website).  Many images are downloadable from FamilySearch and various paysites.

It might be best to work back from an ancestor who you have proved from original documents or transcripts - it does take time, but you will know you are correct.  Rootschatters are great at helping.
Some years ago I compared my research against three online trees and found:
One ancestor born twice, seventy years apart.
An ancestor who married her husband ten years after he died.
Two sisters who married the same man and had the same children.

Calverley Lad's appearance has reminded me that there's a good chunk of Nidderdale information on the Calverley.info site (also free). There's not a lot on 17th century Demaines, but the more recent information there may help to confirm what you've found in online trees.

The following should go straight to the Nidderdale section - once there, I often find the Database the easiest route to finding things.

(I also find Wharfegen an excellent resource.)

The Wharfegen shows the much older records for Nidderdale than Calverley.

Thanks, Brian - I have a lot of interests around Kildwick, where Wharfegen is strong, and in Calverley, but not many around Nidderdale, so I hadn't ever compared their coverage there.

2 of my DNA Demaine cousins descend from William DEMAYNE and Margat BUTTERY married at Fewston. I & 2 DNA cousins descend from the ones at Bardon-Bolton Abbey, but obviously, they all descend from the same line.

Hi,

The following is a connection to a name index of transcribed church records for St. Michael and All Angel, Fewston, York’s. Transcribed by Rev. Thomas Parkinson.


https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSH9-V916-4?i=212

You will see various page numbers against William Demaine, your William commences on page 166
this shows his marriage to Margaret Buttery.

There is a bpt pg 169 for Elizabeth 23.3.1717/8,   So actually bpt 1718.

Birth of William, son of John pg 137. “eodem die” = the same day

This information, with images is on family search, you need to register but it is free.  Easy to use when you get used to it.

Hello spendlove, Thank you for that.

I'm also sending another post at the same time. This is for Philip and other persons looking for William Demain in Pateley Bridge. I’m not sure how to reply individually to them. Perhaps someone can forward it. Why are names in Latin? This was a convention in early Anglican Church records in England, that slowly gave way to English language entries. ‘Gulielmi’ means of William of William’s [the possessive case] vs Gulielmus, which would be the Latin for William. In one of the entries, it has been shortened to ‘Gul’. Early church records are sometimes scanty as pages can get damaged or lost. Every early church records were written on narrow rolls of parchment. To try to view the originals in that format is often really hard to read. Handwriting was often cramped together and the style of cursive writing was quite different from modern cursive.

Who was the William Demaine having children in Pateley Bridge? We don’t know when, where or whom he married or if he had children in other places. This William must have been born abt 1665-1680. Perhaps a close relative was: Johannes [John] Demain Marriage:13 Apr 1696 at Pateley Bridge,York,England Spouse: Anna Jackman.
