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.

In 1851, Thomas Hobbs (34) Farmer of 108 acres (employing 1 man) was living at Beck House [Farm], Cropton, Pickering, North Yorkshire, with Eliza Hobbs (26) wife, from Scarborough, North Yorkshire; Betsy Ann Hobbs (0) born in Cropton, Yorkshire; Elizabeth Snarry (77) Lodger, from Helmsley, Yorkshire; Mary Ann Jackson (17) Servant, from Grimsby, Lincolnshire; and William Coates (18) Servant, from Settrington, Yorkshire. Elizabeth Hobbs (6) was staying with her grandparents, Thomas and Hannah Hobbs.

In 1861, Thomas Hobbs (44) Cow Keeper, was living in Regent Street, Holy Trinity, Hull, with Eliza Hobbs (37), Elizabeth (16), Betsy Ann (10), William (7), Henry (5), John (4), Thomas (3), Eliza (2) and James (1). Hannah Hobbs (9) had stayed behind in Appleton-le-Street, North Yorkshire and was staying with her grandparents, Thomas and Hannah Hobbs. Hannah's birthplace is listed as Cropton Hen Flatts, Yorkshire. Hen Flatts Farm, east of Cropton, is now a campsite. 

In 1871, Thomas Hobbs (54) was employed as a Railway Clerk, with the family living at Walton Street, Swanland, Hull. There the household comprised: Eliza Hobbs (47), William Hobbs (17), Henry Hobbs (15), John Hobbs (14) - the third time lucky one; Thomas Hobbs (13), Eliza Hobbs (12) and Isaac Hobbs (4).

In 1881, living at 1 Little Grafton Street, Newington, Sculcoates, Yorkshire, were Thomas Hobbs (64) Time & Storekeeper; Eliza Hobbs (57); Thomas Hobbs (23) Tin Plate Worker; Eliza Stocks (22); Isaac Hobbs (14) Scholar and William Stocks (22) Son-in-law, Butcher, born in Germany.

Hannah Hobbs (29) was a Servant in the household of a Richard Robson in Wombwell, Barnsley.

In 1891, Eliza Hobbs (67), widowed, was living in Beech Grove, Cottingham, in the household of her son Henry Hobbs. Clearly, Thomas Hobbs had died some time between 1881 and 1891, but searches, even at the GRO don't turn up any record of a death in any area that can be identified as the relevant one. 

In 1901, Eliza Hobbs (78) was living with her daughter, Eliza and her husband, William Henry Stocks, at Newland Arcade, Beverley Road, Hull.

Eliza Hobbs (née Welburn) died, aged 79, GRO Reference: 1903 M Quarter in SCULCOATES Volume 09D Page 82.

John Sawyer married Charlotte Manning at St Mary's Church, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk by licence, on 15 Dec 1788. Charlotte Manning, was baptised on 29 May 1768 at the Church of St Clare, Bradfield St Clare, a village about six miles south of Bury St Edmunds, the daughter of Thomas Manning and Mary Girling.

Records I can identify include six children of this couple:

1. Charlotte Sawyer bap. 16 Nov 1795. Infant, daughter of John and Charlotte Sawyer was buried, on 9 Mar 1796, at St Michael's Church, Beccles.
2. George Sawyer b. 24 Feb 1797, bap. 3 Mar 1797 at St Nicholas, Great Yarmouth, however, a further record states that the infant son of John Sawyer & Charlotte Manning was buried in Great Yarmouth on 5 Jun 1797.

4. George Sawyer b. 9 May 1801, bap. 11 May 1801

William Arthur, George, Elizabeth and Frederick were all also baptised at St Nicholas Church, Great Yarmouth (Great Yarmouth Minster).

Charlotte Sawyer or Manning (as the record helpfully says) died, age given as 44, and was buried at St Nicholas (Great Yarmouth Minster), on 3 Jun 1808.

John Sawyer died, aged 55 and was buried, also at St Nicholas Church, Great Yarmouth, on 25 Feb 1820. (This would place his birth date around 1765, however, without knowing where he was born, it isn't possible to isolate his baptism.)

Joseph Tummon and Mary Williamson

Holy Trinity Church, Hull (Hull Minster)

Joseph Tummon (bap. 23 Jan 1785 at St Mary's, Hull), son of Joseph Tummon and Mary Holroyd, married Mary Williamson (b. 7 May 1790), daughter of Thomas Williamson and Rebecca Bellard, on 6 Dec 1807 at Holy Trinity Church, Hull. 

(It appears that this was not Joseph's first marriage, as Joseph Tummon, Mariner, had previously married Mary Cornwall, also at Hull Holy Trinity, on 29 Oct 1804. Their daughter, Mary Ann Tummon was baptised at Holy Trinity on 7 Aug 1806. Cannot identify further records for this first Mrs Tummon, nor Mary Ann.)

Joseph Tummon and Mary Williamson's children included:

1. Joseph Tummon bap. 20 Nov 1808 at All Saints Church, Sculcoates. The baptism record lists Joseph's father as William and does not list his mother, however, several DNA matches point to these being his parents.
2. James Gibson Tummon b. 20 Oct 1808, bap. 15 Jun 1809 at All Saints
3. Sarah Tummon b. 1810 (no baptism record)
4. John Watson Tummon bap. 8 Feb 1812 at All Saints, Sculcoates

On Thomas' baptism, they were in Lowgate, Hull, with Joseph described as a Victualler and on Ann's, Joseph is described as a Publican in Lowgate.

In 1841, Joseph Tummon (55) Sloop Broker (Sloop Insurance Brokerage is the intermediary between insurer and client) was living on the Hedon New Road, Drypool, Sculcoates with Mary Tummon (50), along with their married daughter, Sarah Couldrey (30) and granddaughter, Mary Couldrey (1).

The wealth of medieval Hull is exemplified by the Church of the Holy Trinity, which is the most magnificent and largest Parish Church in England.

Zachariah Swift (b. 1829), son of William Swift and Mary Ann Lister, married Lydia Eliza Creaser, reputedly daughter of Robert Creaser, at Hull Holy Trinity (Hull Minster) on 4 Dec 1848. Both were minors, Zachariah 19, Lydia around 17. The bridegroom's address was the exotically named (and still existing) Sewer Lane.

They rather quickly had one child, a daughter:

1. Rebecca Swift b. 1849 M Quarter in KINGSTON UPON HULL Volume 22 Page 456, however, the child died aged 3, in 1852 S Quarter in KINGSTON UPON HULL Volume 09D Page 168.

In 1851, Zachariah Swift (22) Engine Fitter, was living in Lay Lane, Hunslet, Leeds, with wife Lydia Eliza Swift (20) and daughter, Rebecca Swift (2).

Zacharia Swift died, aged 22, in 1851 J Quarter in HUNSLET Vol 23 Page 268.

Clearly, Lydia Eliza returned to Hull with her daughter after Zachariah died.

Unsurprisingly, Lydia Eliza Swift (28) remarried, on 13 Sep 1858, to John Cherry Jackson (24) a Coal Dealer. In 1881 they were living at 13, Bedford Row, Stepney Lane, Sculcoates. This couple do not seem to have had any children. 

Lydia Jackson died aged 71, in 1902 J Quarter in HULL Vol 09D Page 185.
