The Anglo-Saxon word "don" means "a low hill in open countryside".

Henry Young (b. 1810) married Harriet Tuff (bap. 5 Oct 1817), daughter of Thomas Tuffs and Rebecca Archer, presumably at the now closed former church of St. Mary and All Saints, Old Church Hill, Langdon Hills, on 23 Dec 1838.

Henry and Harriet had three daughters:

1. Eliza Young b. 1841 M Quarter in ORSETT UNION Volume 12 Page 191, bap. 14 Mar 1841 in Langdon Hills. The parents' names on this baptism are listed as George and Harriet, but I'm certain this is the correct baptism and the father's name is an error, either at the time or in transcription.
2. Lucy Young b. 1843 S Quarter in ORSETT Volume 12 Page 181, bap. 24 Sep 1843 in Langdon Hills
3. Lydia Young b. 1847 M Quarter in ORSETT Volume 12 Page 204, bap. 31 Jan 1847 in Langdon Hills

Mother's maiden name on Eliza is TUFF, on Lucy and Lydia's it is TUFFS.

In 1841, Henry Young (30), Harriet Young (23) and Eliza Young (0) were living in Laindon Hills, Essex, in the household of Thomas Tuffs (50), Harriet's father. Also in the household was a William Bradd (20), who may have been a lodger.

In 1851, still living in Laindon Hills, Essex, were Henry Young (41) Agricultural Labourer from Downham, Essex; Harriet Young (33) from Laindon Hills; Eliza (10), Lucy (7) and Lydia (4), as well as Thomas Tuff (66) born in Little Waltham.

In 1861, Henry Young (52) Agricultural Labourer, Harriet Young (41) and Lydia Young (14) were living in Wickford, Essex. Eliza Young (20) was employed as a Domestic Servant in the household of Thomas Kemble (of The Hall, Runwell (which is now a Toby Carvery), who served as High Sheriff of Essex in 1872).

So far I've found no further verifiable records for this family.

Mary Oliver, daughter of George Oliver and Mary Hodgson, sister of Hannah Oliver, married John Langdale (bap. 7 Jun 1789 Slingsby, North Yorkshire), son of Robert Langdale and Mary Seller, in Hovingham, North Yorkshire, on 24 Nov 1825.

John and Mary had four children, only two surviving infancy:

1. George Langdale bap. 20 Aug 1826, buried 30 Aug 1826, in Slingsby
2. George Langdale bap. 5 Sep 1827, buried 4 Oct 1827, in Slingsby
3. Robert Langdale bap. 13 Jun 1830 in Norton (Norton by Malton a.k.a. Norton-on-Derwent)
4. Mary Langdale b. 19 Apr 1832, bap. 20 Apr 1832 in Appleton-le-Street

In 1841, John Langdale (50) and Mary Langdale (45) were still living in Appleton-le-Street, with son Robert Langdale (11) and daughter, Mary Langdale (9) in the household of Mary's father, George Oliver, Publican at The Cresswell Arms.

In 1851, John Langdale (61), Ag Lab, and Mary Langdale (58) were living back in Slingsby, North Yorkshire. Both surviving children had left home to work in York: Robert Langdale (20), Silk Mercer's Assistant, was living in Coney Street, in the parish of St Martin le Grand, York. While Mary Langdale (18) was employed as a Nursery Maid and residing in the parish of St Michael le Belfrey, York.

In 1861, John Langdale (71) Agricultural Labourer and Mary Langdale (68), were living on Slingsby Green, Slingsby, North Yorkshire.

In 1871, John Langdale (81) and still an Agricultural Labourer and Mary Langdale (78), were, once more, living in Slingsby, North Yorkshire.

John Langdale, died aged 83, and was buried on 25 Dec 1872, in Slingsby.

In 1881, Mary Langdale (88), Widow, Annuitant, was living alone, still in Slingsby.

Mary Langdale (née Oliver) died, aged 90, and was buried on 12 May 1883.

• Mary Langdale (25) married William Duck, son of John Duck and Elizabeth Swalwell, on 21 Nov 1857, in Kirby Misperton. They went on to have quite a brood of between 10 and 13 little Ducklings! William and Mary Duck emigrated to Seymour, Northumberland County, Ontario, Canada, seemingly in 1873, where William Duck, Gardner, b. 26 Jul 1832, died in 1912 and Mary Duck died, aged 93, in 1925.
• Robert Langdale (29) married Elizabeth Jackson (26) on 26 Dec 1859, at St. Michael's, Malton, North Yorkshire. In 1861, Robert Langdale (30), Commercial Clerk; with wife Elizabeth Langdale (27), daughter Ada Langdale (0) and Sarah Holley (48), Monthly Nurse, from Wellington, Somerset, were living in Argyle Street, St Pancras, London.

John Hatcliffe and Elizabeth Bratley

St Peter's Church, Asterby

John Hatcliffe (bap. 26 Feb 1786, in Asterby), son of Joseph and Mary Hatcliffe, married Elizabeth Bratley (bap. 2 Mar 1794 in Baumber), daughter of David and Margaret Bratley, on 27 Oct 1812, at St Peter's Church, Asterby, Lincolnshire. In fact, the marriage record lists her as Elizabeth Brattlea, but it's close enough!

The following ten children look likely to be theirs: 

1. Mary Hatcliffe bap. 1813 in Market Stainton, Lincolnshire
2. William Hatcliffe bap. 11 Jan 1815 in Panton, Lincolnshire
3. Jane Hatcliffe bap. 18 Mar 1817 in Panton, Lincolnshire
4. John Hatcliffe bap. 24 Sep 1820 in Panton, Lincolnshire
5. David Hatcliffe bap. 7 Oct 1821 in Panton, Lincolnshire
6. Amos Hatcliffe bap. 20 Oct 1823 at St Peter's Church, Asterby
7. Helvin Hatcliffe bap. 11 Apr 1825 at St Peter's Church, Asterby
8. Saul Hatcliffe bap. 26 Dec 1829 at St Peter's Church, Asterby
9. Job Hatcliffe bap. 25 Sep 1831 at St Peter's Church, Asterby
10. Barnabas Hatcliffe bap. 11 Aug 1833. Barney Hatcliffe died aged 3, and was buried on 7 Mar 1836, both events at St Peter's Church, Asterby

i. Makes sense as Market Stainton is only 4 miles from Baumber.

In 1841, living in Asterby, Lincolnshire, were John Hatcliffe (55) Agricultural Labourer, Elizabeth Hatcliffe (45), with sons John (20), Saul (11) and Job (9). 

John Hatcliffe died, at 66, and was buried, on 16 Feb 1851 at St Peter's, Asterby.

In 1861, Elizabeth Hatcliffe (68) Widow, Pauper, born in Baumber, Lincolnshire, was living in Butt Lane, Asterby and she was still there at 78, in 1871.

Elizabeth Hatcliffe died, at 84, and was buried on 20 Feb 1877 at St Peter's, Asterby.

(Potential Issue: Although mine is not the only research to have come to the same conclusions (via), it would appear from DNA that this may not be the right marriage. Whilst there are (at time of writing) 18 DNA links to John Hatcliffe, there are exactly ZERO to Elizabeth Bratley. One would expect the number to be equal.)

John Sach and Eliza Young

Holy Trinity, Southchurch - East end

John Sach (b. 1839 in North Benfleet), son of Joseph Sach and (purportedly) Sarah West, married Eliza Young (b. 1841), daughter of Henry Young and Harriet Tuff, at Holy Trinity Church, Southchurch, Southend-on-Sea, Essex, on 27 Sep 1862.

Records exist for at least six children:

1. Walter Sach b. 23 Jul 1863 (S Quarter in BILLERICAY Volume 04A Page 144), bap. 13 Sep 1863, at Pitsea, St Michael, parents John and Eliza Such.
2. Eliza Ann Sach b. 1869 D Quarter in MALDON Volume 04A Page 240, bap. 23 Mar 1870 in Latchingdon with Snoreham. Parents are John and Eliza.
3. Edith Sach b. 1872 S Quarter in ROCHFORD Volume 04A Page 244, bap. 29 Sep 1872 in Prittlewell, in this font at Saint Mary's Parish Church
4. Alice Sach b. 26 Mar 1875 J Quarter in ROCHFORD Volume 04A Page 257, bap. 9 May 1875 at Holy Trinity Church, Southchurch, Essex
5. John William Sach b. 3 Jun 1878 (S Quarter in ROCHFORD Volume 04A Page 292), bap. 30 Jun 1878 at Holy Trinity Church, Southchurch, Essex
6. Joseph Harry Sach b. 4 Nov 1880 (D Quarter in ROCHFORD Volume 04A Page 336), bap. 12 Dec 1880 at Holy Trinity Church, Southchurch, Essex

On the GRO registrations for Eliza Ann and for John William, the mother's maiden name is given as Youngs, and it is listed as Young, singular, on all the rest.

In 1871, John Sach (29) Agricultural Labourer, was at Barnes Farm, Prittlewell, with Eliza Sach (30), Walter Sach (7), Eliza Sach (3) and Ellen Sach [Edith] (1), as well as two Lodgers, John Beauman (29) and John Austria (24).

In 1881, living at 1, Wick Cottages, Southchurch, Rochford, Essex, listed as James Sach (39) Agricultural Labourer, born in North Benfleet, Essex, is head of the household, with wife Eliza (40) from Laindon Hills, Essex. They list the children as Eliza Edith (11) - assume they mean Eliza Ann - born in Prittlewell, Essex, then Edith (8) born in Latchingdon, Essex - clearly, they've transposed the two birthplaces; then Alice (6), John (2) and Harry (0), the last three born in Southchurch, Essex. Also in the household were four lodgers: John Clemence (31), George West (20), Charles Prentice (19) and James Bush (20), all also Agricultural Labourers. George West and James Bush were from Hockley, Essex, where John's parents lived. His mother, Sarah's, maiden name was reputedly West.

In 1891, listed as Edith Sack (sic), then 18, was working as a General Servant Domestic for an Optician in Sebert Road, West Ham (She later married James Peterken in West Ham in 1897 and this explains why she was in the area.) That year also, Alice Sach (16) was employed as a Domestic Servant to Arthur G Endicott (28) Confidential Clerk, in Princes Street, Prittlewell, Essex. 

In 1901, John Sach (58) Horseman on farm, from North Benfleet, Essex and wife Eliza (59) from Laindon Hills, Essex, were living in Clay Street, Great Wakering, then a village in the Rochford District in Essex, approximately four miles east of Southend-on-Sea, although like most of the villages they lived in, is now a suburb of that city. Alice Sach (26) was still employed as a Domestic Servant by Arthur Endicott in Prittlewell. (Alice Sach never married: she was listed in Rochford in 1921, Benfleet in 1939 and died a spinster, aged 65, in 1941.)

John Sach (67) was buried on 13 Mar 1909 at St Nicholas, Great Wakering. 

In 1911, Eliza Sach (70) Widowed, OAP was living in High St, Gt Wakering.

Eliza Sach (74) was buried, on 18 Feb 1915, also at St Nicholas, Great Wakering.

Joseph Tummon and Jane Hatcliffe

St. Mary's church, North Somercotes, Lincolnshire

Joseph Tummon (bap. 20 Nov 1808 at All Saints Church, Sculcoates), son of Joseph Tummon and Mary Williamson, married Jane Hatcliffe (bap. 18 Mar 1817, in Panton, Lincolnshire), daughter of John Hatcliffe and Elizabeth Bratley, on 29 Aug 1836 at the parish of North Somercotes, Lincolnshire. As with so many earlier records, at best, clerks wrote down what they heard in regional accents: Joseph's surname is listed as Tummins and Jane's as Atcliff with the aitch dropped. :)

Records suggest Joseph and Jane had three children:

1. Sophia Alice Hatcliffe Tummon b. 1836 in Swinefleet, Yorkshire
2. William Henry Tummon bap. 7 May 1838 in Marshchapel, Lincolnshire. Their surname on William's baptism was also listed as Tummins.
3. Thomas Tummon b. 1841 in Marshchapel, Lincolnshire

In 1841, living in Marsh Chapel, Louth, Lincolnshire, were Joseph Tummons (sic) (30), Jane Tummons (20), William Tummons (3) and Sophia Tummons (5). On the 1841 Census, Joseph's occupation is listed as Agricultural Labourer.

Then Joseph Tummon died, at just 42, and was buried on 5 Sep 1849 in the parish of St. Andrew, Drypool - then a village - presumably, ironically, in the churchyard of the ancient parish church of St. Peter's Church, Drypool. The building was destroyed by bombs in 1941. The churchyard is now a garden.

In 1851, in Thornton Street, Sculcoates, were Jane Tummon (31ish) widow, Dressmaker; Sophia Alice Tummon (14), William Henry Tummon (13) Weaver; Thomas Tummon (10) and Hugh Millar, a Hawker, Lodger.

In 1871, Jane Tummon (49ish) Seamstress, was living at Winters Alley, St Mary, Hull with Emma Hatcliffe (24) Charwoman, Niece and William Robinson (60) Dock side labourer, Boarder, which suggests he also had meals provided.

Jane Tummon died, aged 53, in the last quarter of 1871.

Thomas Crowley and Elizabeth Molloy

Bowlalley Lane, Kingston upon Hull
cc-by-sa/2.0 - © Bernard Sharp - geograph.org.uk/p/3847770

Thomas Crowley (bap. 25 Dec 1812, in Hull), son of Thomas Crowley and Mary Ann Wood (m. 1808), married Elizabeth Molloy (b. 1815 in Sunderland, Durham) on 13 Jun 1838. The marriage was even announced in the Durham County Advertiser on 15 Jun 1838, "At Sunderland Church [...] (at that date Holy Trinity Church or Sunderland Parish Church) on Tuesday, Mr Thomas Crowley, to Miss Elizabeth Molloy". Although Elizabeth claims to be from Sunderland, there is no baptism for her there, so I've been unable to identify her origins. 

Thomas and Elizabeth had five children:

1. Elizabeth Crowley b. 1841 (no birth registration nor baptism found)
2. Margaret Crowley b. 1847 J Quarter in KINGSTON UPON HULL Volume 22 Page 449, died aged 2, in 1849 D Quarter in HULL Volume 22 Page 327 and buried on 14 Oct 1849 at All Saints Church, Sculcoates
3. Sarah Ann Crowley b. 1849 J Quarter in KINGSTON UPON HULL Vol 22 Page 483, died 1849 S Quarter in KINGSTON UPON HULL Vol 22 Page 35
4. Margaret Crowley b. 1850 in KINGSTON UPON HULL Vol 22 Page 458
5. Thomas Crowley b. 1852 D Quarter in SHEFFIELD Volume 09C Page 235

Mother's maiden name on the registrations for Sarah Ann and the 2nd Margaret is Molloy, on that for Thomas, it's spelled Malloy, on the first Margaret it was Maloy. Have checked the GRO year by year for each and any similar derivatives.

In 1841, Thomas Crowley (25) Groom, and Elizabeth Crowley (20) - ages were rounded down to the nearest five on this census - were living in the household of Thomas' mother, Mary Crowley (50) in Cumberland Street, Sculcoates.

In 1851, Thomas Crowley (40) Agricultural Labourer, from Hull and Elizabeth Crowley (36) Spinner from Sunderland, Durham, Elizabeth Crowley (9) and Margaret Crowley (0), were among a long list of Lodgers in the household of Elizabeth Hamilton (40) at 41, Pea Croft, Sheffield, Yorkshire.

Elizabeth Crowley died, at 49, in 1858 J Quarter in Sculcoates.

On 1 Nov 1858, therefore, Thomas Crowley, Oil Miller, of Church Street, Hull, son of Thomas Crowley, Corn Factor, married Jane Rich, spinster, daughter of John Rich, Warehouseman, at St. James's Church, Hull. (The church was closed in the mid 1950s and demolished in 1957. The site is now a garden.)

Thomas Crowley, as we see, became an Oil Miller: someone who extracted oil from seeds, particularly linseed and rapeseed that were grown in England. 

There seems to have been a long history of oil milling in Hull, one of two industries that dominated the town's industrial history, with 'Isis Oil Mills' silo, No.45 Morley Street, Stoneferry, previously the earliest surviving oil mill silo in the city, which became the heart of Hull’s oil seed milling industry. (The demolition of landmark Isis Oil Mill in Hull began in 2019.); former Oil Mill, Glass House Row, close to Sculcoates Bridge; Chambers & Fargus, seed crushers and edible oil refiners and the Anglo-Egytian Oil Mills & Refinery, Lime Street, next to the river Hull, among others. Oil Seed Crushing. "There are references to the milling of rape-seed in Hull from the early 16th century and by the middle of the 18th century the industry was well established. As early as 1740 Joseph Pease, later head of the banking firm, had built an oil-mill at the corner of Lowgate and Salthouse Lane."

In 1861, living at 56, Church Street, Sculcoates, were Thomas Crowley (47) Oil miller, Jane Crowley (46), Thomas Crowley (7) and Charlotte C Rich (17) Stepdaughter. (Charlotte Collings Rich was Jane's illegitimate daughter, presumably by Mr Collings, born in 1843. She married a Thomas Beach in 1863.) Elizabeth Crowley married William Henry Tummon, in 1860. Margaret, I've not located.

Then Jane Crowley died, aged 52, in the first quarter of 1869.

So, on 24 May 1869, Thomas Crowley (54) Widower, of Church Street, Sculcoates, son of Thomas Crowley, Merchant (deceased), married, Hannah Bassingdale (50), widow, daughter of Joseph Wilson, Engineer (deceased), at All Saints Church, Hull. (Hannah Wilson previously married Charles Bassingdale in 1846.) Witnesses were Thomas Wilson and Elizabeth Wilson.

In 1871, still at 56, Church Street, Sculcoates, were Thomas Crowley (59) Oil miller, Hannah Crowley (50) - still - and Thomas Crowley (17) Oil miller.

In 1881, Thomas Crowley (69) Oil miller and Hannah Crowley (63) were living at 13, Bowlalley Lane, Kingston upon Hull. (Nos.15, Bowlalley House & 16, two houses, circa 1820. Dividing the two premises is The Pathway, an alley. See: The secrets behind Hull's mysterious black door that goes to nowhere.)

Thomas Crowley, then of Glasgow Street, Hull, died, aged 76, and was buried on 14 Feb 1889 at Hull Holy Trinity (Hull Minster since 2017).

In 1891, the widowed Hannah Crowley was still living in Glasgow Street, Newington, Sculcoates with Emma Crowley (33) who "takes in mangling". Emma was the widow of Thomas Crowley's son, Thomas Crowley, who had died at 35 and been buried on 21 January 1889, only around three and a half weeks before his father. So Hannah was Emma's step-mother-in-law. However, she is listed as being Emma's aunt. This could be for want of a better description, but it could also mean she was already her aunt by blood relation [needs further investigation].

Hannah Crowley died, aged 78, in 1896, in Sculcoates.

William Hobbs and Sarah Magson (née Brydon or Bridon)

St Mary's Parish Church, Scarborough, Yorkshire

William Hobbs (bap. 19 Jun 1819), son of Thomas Hobbs and Hannah Oliver, married Sarah Magson (née Brydon or Bridon) (bap. 18 Apr 1819 in Nunnington, North Yorkshire), daughter of Andrew and Ann Bridon. At the time of her marriage to William Hobbs, in the parish of St Mary, Scarborough, North Yorkshire, on 20 May 1866, Sarah was a widow with five children from her first marriage, as well as two more children that she'd had subsequently, who William Hobbs took on. 

Sarah had previously married William Magson (b. 1810), purportedly on 20 Jul 1842 in Nunnington, Yorkshire (I've not yet seen the record of the marriage). I did find William Magson in the household of Hannah Foxton in Nunnington, in 1841, where he appears to be still single, so the dates and places do fit. William Magson died, aged 42, in 1852 and was buried in Barton Le Street, Yorkshire.

Sarah's blended offspring comprised:

1. Mary Ann Magson b. 1842 S Quarter in HELMSLEY Volume 24 Page 367, bap. 7 Aug 1842 at All Saints and St James' Church, Nunnington
2. John Magson b. 1844 S Quarter in HELMSLEY Volume 24 Page 417, bap. 23 Jul 1844 at All Saints and St James' Church, Nunnington
3. Susanna Magson b. 1846 M Quarter in HELMSLEY Volume 24 Page 412, bap. 12 Feb 1846 at All Saints and St James' Church, Nunnington
4. Elizabeth Jane Magson b. 1848 S Quarter in HELMSLEY Volume 24 Page 442, bap. 23 July 1848 at All Saints and St James' Church, Nunnington
5. Eliza Hannah Magson b. 1850 S Quarter in HELMSLEY Volume 24 Page 465, bap. 15 Sep 1850 at All Saints and St James' Church, Nunnington
6. George Magson bap. 28 Nov 1858 at All Saints Church, Appleton-le-Street
7. Harry Magson b. 1863 M Quarter in MALTON UNION Volume 09D Page 322.

On all of the births of the children with William Magson, the mother's maiden name is listed as Bridon. There does not appear to be a civil registration for the sixth child, George, but he's baptised as the son of Sarah Magson, with no father mentioned. On the civil registration for the youngest, Harry, he's registered under Sarah's married name with no mother's maiden name, as an illegitimate birth. 

In 1851, William Magson (40), Sarah Magson (32), Mary Ann Magson (8), John Magson (6), Susanna Magson (5), Elizabeth J Magson (2) and Eliza H Magson (0) were all living in the household of Sarah's widowed father, Andrew Bridon (60). William Hobbs (30) in 1851, still lived in his father's household.

By 1861, the widowed Sarah Magson (42) Agricultural Labourer, was living in Appleton-le-Street with her daughter Eliza (10) and son George (3). That year Mary Ann Magson (19) was a Dairymaid in the very extensive household of Sir William Worsley, 1st Baronet (1792–1879) at Hovingham Hall, Hovingham, North Yorkshire. (Katharine Worsley, Duchess of Kent, was from this line and was born at Hovingham Hall.) Haven't been able to find John; Susanna Magson (15) was a House Servant at Firby, Westow (Firby Hall?) and Elizabeth J Magson (12) was a Nurse Maid in the household of Joseph Wray (34) in Howsham Scrayingham. 

In 1871, William Hobbs (51) Agricultural Labourer, Sarah Hobbs (52) and the two youngest children listed as George Hobbs (13) and Harry Hobbs (8). Both were born, registered and use the surname of Magson in later life, so I don't think this necessarily infers William Hobbs is their father, although he could have been.

In 1881, William Hobbs (61) Farm labourer and his wife Sarah Hobbs (62) are still living in Appleton-le-Street and staying with them was Sarah's granddaughter, Ada Magson (8), her son John's child. (Ada Magson, born in Scarborough in 1872, mother's maiden name is Patrick. John Magson had married Dinah Patrick in Scarborough on 5 Nov 1867.) Harry Magson (18) was staying with William Hobbs' widowed mother, Hannah Hobbs at the Public House in Appleton-le-Street.

Then in 1891, William Hobbs (71) Farmer and Publican at the New Inn, Spaunton, Yorkshire with wife Sarah (72), Harry Hobbs (28) listed as son; Alfred Lonsborough (16) grandson (son of Eliza who had married George Lownsbrough in 1867) and Georgiana B Magson (4) granddaughter (daughter of George Magson and his wife Julia Hayward.) It is quite a change in fortunes to move up to being a farmer and publican (as had been his father), from previously being just an agricultural labourer. His father, Thomas, died in 1877, and probate was granted - to his mother, Hannah - in 1886. Then Hannah died in 1887. The timing of this advance leads me to think that William has inherited his mother's estate. But that, in itself, raises questions: as second son, if William inherited, is this simply because he's the eldest legitimate, or does this call his older brother's parentage into question?

Sarah Hobbs died, aged 79 in 1899 M Quarter in PICKERING Volume 09D Page 291 and William Hobbs died, aged 80, in 1900 J Quarter in PICKERING Volume 09D Page 303.

John Walton and Betty Oliver

John Walton (bap. 31 Dec 1804 in Barton, North Yorkshire, village close to Middleton Tyas), son of William Walton and Hannah Jane Taylor, married Betty Oliver, the middle daughter of George Oliver and Mary Hodgson (and sister of Mary Oliver and Hannah Oliver) at her parish of All Saints Church, Appleton-le-Street on 27 Mar 1826. Baptised as Betty in 1794, the bride was 10 years older than her husband and 'upgraded' herself to Elizabeth on her marriage.

John and Betty had five children:

1. George Walton bap. 11 Jan 1827 in Appleton-le-Street
2. John Walton bap. 17 Jul 1829 in Appleton-le-Street
3. William Walton bap. 21 Feb 1832 in Appleton-le-Street
4. Mary Anne Walton bap. 25 May 1834 in Kirby Misperton
5. Ralph Walton bap. 17 Jan 1836 in Kirby Misperton

Mother's name is listed as Betty again on the last two baptisms.

(Was the second child known as John Boy, I wonder?)

In 1841, the family are living in Kirby Misperton with John Walton (38) Blacksmith, Elizabeth Walton (40) (that's ish, obviously), George Walton (14), John Walton (11), William Walton (9), Mary Walton (7) and Ralph Walton (5).

In 1851, John Walton (47) from Middleton Tyas, is a Farmer Of 56 Acres with Elizabeth Walton (57) Farmer's Wife, William Walton (19) Farmer's Son, Mary Ann Walton (16) Farmer's Daughter and Ralph Walton (15) Farmer's Son.

In 1861, John Walton (57) has become a Farmer of 150 Acres in Little Barugh Street, Barughs Ambo (Barugh (Great and Little)), Yorkshire (North Riding), with the household consisting: Farmer's Wife Elizabeth Walton (65), Ann Thorpe (26) (daughter Mary Ann), William Thorpe (27) Son-in-law, Ralph Walton (25), John Walton Thorpe (0) Grandson, Jane Smith (20) House Servant, Richard Umpleby (18) Farm Servant and Amos Crosby (14) Farm Servant.

However, in 1871 at Thorntree House, Grimston, Helmsley, Yorkshire, John Walton (66) from Middleton, Yorkshire was an Agricultural Labourer. Living with him only was his wife, Elizabeth Walton (76) from Appleton, Yorkshire. 

Elizabeth Walton died, age estimated as 79, in 1873 S Quarter in PICKERING Vol 09D Page 279 and was buried on 6 Jul 1873 in Cropton, North Yorkshire.

In 1881, John Walton (76) Widower, was living with daughter and son-in law, William and Mary Ann Thorpe, at Farm House, East and West Lutton, Driffield.

John Walton died, aged 79, in 1884 M Quarter in DRIFFIELD Vol 09D Pg 206.

George Burwell (sic) (b. 1792 in Grainsby, Lincolnshire), resident in the parish of North Thoresby, Lincolnshire, son of George Borrell and Ann Corden, married Esther Ann Newbound (bap. 19 Apr 1801), who at that time was residing in the hamlet of Walmsgate in the parish of Burwell, at the now redundant St Michael's Church, Burwell, Lincolnshire, on 24 Mar 1823. George made his mark, Esther Ann signed her name. Witnesses were Davy Wilkinson [1] and John Smith [2].

Baptised originally as Esther Ann Soulby Newbond, in Huttoft, Lincolnshire, Esther Ann was the base born daughter of Jane Newbond. (I'll put money on her putative father being someone named Soulby - the surname is found in the area).

George and Esther Ann had eleven children, all baptised in North Thoresby:

1. Betsey Borwell (sic) bap. 25 Jan 1824
2. Esther Ann Borrell bap. 22 Jan 1827
3. Martha Burrel (sic) bap. 24 Sep 1828. Buried in North Thoresby in 1836.
4. Mary Burrel (sic) bap. 24 Sep 1828. Buried 21 Apr 1836 in North Thoresby.
5. Ellen Burrel (sic) bap. 22 Aug 1830
6. George Burrel (sic) bap. 15 Apr 1832
7. Hannah Borrel (sic) bap. 18 Jul 1834
8. Margaret Mary Burrel (sic) bap. 22 Aug 1836
9. William Burwell (sic) b. 1838 S Quarter in LOUTH UNION Volume 14 Page 431 with mother's maiden name NEWBOUND, bap. 23 Jul 1838
10. John Borrel (sic) bap. 18 Nov 1840. Died, aged 1, in 1842 M Quarter in LOUTH UNION Volume 14 Page 335 and was buried in North Thoresby.
11. Martha Burrel (sic) b. 1843 S Quarter in LOUTH UNION Volume 14 Page 479 with mother's maiden name NEWBOUND, bap. 16 Jul 1843 (presumably posthumously). Died 1843 S Quarter in LOUTH UNION Volume 14 Page 281, as she had been buried in North Thoresby on 14 Jul 1843.

One assumes Martha and Mary, born 1828, were twins, but we can understand why they gave Margaret the second name of Mary in that same year as they died.

On the baptisms for Betsey, Esther Ann, Martha and Mary, George Borrell's occupation is listed as Carter. "The carter might work with a pony and trap, even a donkey. Many carters worked carrying produce from the country into the towns on market days. Many stood outside auction houses, markets anyplace where produce was being sold and then touted for business as the home-going purchasers left." [Source]. From Ellen onwards, George's occupation is listed as Labourer.

In 1841, living in North Thoresby, Lincolnshire, were George Borrell (47), Easter (sic) Borrell (40), Ellen Borrell (10), George Borrell (9), Hannah Borrell (6), Mary Borrell [Margaret Mary] (4), William Borrell (3) and John Borrell (1). It would indeed appear that Ester Borril (sic) [Esther Ann] was living in North Waterside, Lincoln with Mary Borril (70) Shopkeeper. (Mary's birth date calculating to around 1767-1771 makes her around 25 years or so older than George Borrell, which could put her into the previous generation. A great-aunt perhaps?)

In 1851, George Borrell (57) Ag Lab, was still in North Thoresby, Lincolnshire with Esther Borrell (49), Mary Borrell [Margaret Mary] (14) and William Borrell (12).

In 1861, George Borrell (67) Agricultural Labourer from Grainsby, Lincolnshire was in Fen Lane, North Thoresby, Lincolnshire with Esther A Borrell (60) from Huttoft, Lincolnshire and John Borrell (11) Grandson (son of Esther Ann Borrell).

Esther Ann Borril (sic) died, aged 69, in 1870 M Qtr in LOUTH Vol 07A Page 400.

In 1871, George Borral (sic) (78) Widower, Ag Lab, was still in North Thoresby.

George Borrell died, at the age of 82, in 1874 M Quarter in LOUTH Volume 07A Page 389 and was buried in North Thoresby, on 19 Feb 1874.
