Aaron
Searching my family history and would appreciate any information on William Aaron
who married Jane Moore in Lindley, Huddersfield in 1874. Born in 1852 his father
was George who may have worked on farms in Bruntcliffe, Morley when younger.
Other census entries for Aaron and farming in this area have been found.

Abbott
I am trying to confirm and complete my family tree. I believe my
family descend from a William Abbott and Elizabeth Kirby who lived
in Kirklington and married in 1742. They had several children,
one of which was a William Abbott born 1755 who married a Sarah.
They lived in Kirklington but at some stage must have moved to
Well. They appear to have had 3 children, one of which was a Charles
Abbott, my great grandfather. If anyone has any information on
the Abbott's of Kirklington and Well I would welcome their input.
Charle's wife was called Ann and came from Easingwold. She was
born c 1831 and may be an Ann Dunhill but again I am looking for
confirmation.

Acomb
Martin Braithwaite was born around 1770. He married (1) Ann Acomb
February 01, 1796 in (also have Jan 02, 1796) Wheldrake, Yorkshire,
England North Newbald, England, daughter of John Acomb and Ann
Kay. She was born July 12, 1772 (this is a second marriage for
Ann Acomb, her first marriage was to John Leng, of Yorkshire).
Ann and John Leng's son William went to Canada c 1822. Martin
Braithwaite married twice, his second wife was Hannah Ranson
and they married August 12, 1827 in (also have Dec 08, 1827 as
date) Osbaldwick register, Walkington, England. By banns.
Notes for Ann Acomb: The name Acomb means "the
site of the Oak Trees". As well as being a family name in
Yorkshire at one time (very few people with the name Acomb are
still in the Yorkshire area), it was also the name of a small village
to the west of York, England, but today it is part of the suburbs.
Acombs can be traced back to the 1600's in the village of Long
Marston, which is 4 miles west of Acomb on the Wetherby Road. Joseph
was the most common name, followed by Thomas, Quentin, John, William
and Henry. They seem to be farmers and Church Wardens. Child of
Martin Braithwaite and Ann Acomb is:
2. i. Mary Braithwaite, b. December 06, 1797, North Newbald, England
(also have Christening June 12, 1797).
More about Richard Clark and Mary Braithwaite:
Marriage: January 28, 1815, North Newbald, England .
Children of Mary Braithwaite and Richard Clark
are:
i. Eliza Clark, b. Abt. 1816; d. 1852, Kirk Ella, England; m. William
Ransom, April 27, 1839, Welton, England. ii. James Braithwaite
Clark, b. Abt. 1826; d. May 20, 1843, Kirk Ella, England. Burial:
Kirk Ella, England. iii. George Martin Clark, b. March 08, 1830,
(Baptized date) at Welton, England. 3. iv. George William Clark,
b. January 03, 1834, (Baptized date) at Melton near Welton, England.
v. Emma Jane Clark, b. April 22, 1835, (Baptized date) at Melton
near Welton, England. vi. Matilda Clark, b. June 04, 1837, (Baptized
date) at Melton near Welton, England. vii. Maria Clark, b. May

Addyman
I am descended from Thomas Addyman and his wife Maria (Robinson).
Maria was born in Thornthwaite. In 1841 Thomas and his family
were living in Hole House, Laverton, which is, I understand,
near a town called Kirkby Malzeard. I have a newspaper cutting
which states that Thomas and his family set sail for America
on Good Friday 1845. After surviving a collision with an iceberg
they arrived in the US on 25 June 1845. The family settled
on a farm near Epworth, Dubuque Co, Iowa, USA. Can anyone tell
me anything about Hole House and Laverton or, indeed, anything
about Thomas and Maria?

Auton
My
great grandfather William Ibbotson born 1847 at Grantley married
Sarah Auton born 1850. They moved to Leeds about 1870. If you
are from either of these families I would love to hear from you
as I can not get back any further.
