Re: Thackeray Malton area North Yorkshire 1750 +
Hi Fiona - we have been in touch before, just like took over and I think I promised you some copies of wills. Remind me on and I'll fish them out (I think they were for Frankland family?)

Re: Thackeray Malton area North Yorkshire 1750 +
My line son Joseph went to Appleton le street after he had two kids in HA so Appleton is obviously somewhere that had the same jobs or something. makes sense Mary Elmer was from there, No thackerays tho in HA before Francis marriage so they came from somewhere. There is a Francis born in Spennithorne in 1744, does that sound good......

Re: Thackeray Malton area North Yorkshire 1750 +
Francis from Spennithorne could be the one who moved to Huttons Ambo, but I don't think there is enough evidence yet to prove or disprove....
I have a lot of families from around this area, and there are a lot of gaps in the records which make it difficult to go further back with any certainty! Regarding Mary Dawson (who m. John Thackeray at Lastingham) I've been fortunate in following her mother's line of the Franklands thanks to wills, but cannot find many Thackray wills at all. As I mentioned previously, descended from this family twice over via John & Mary's granddaughter, who was mother to two of my great grandfathers....

Re: Thackeray Malton area North Yorkshire 1750 +
I've notes on just about all the Thackray Wills at the Borthwick institute and also the ones at the WYAS in leeds. If you let me know the name and year of the will I can send you what I've got for it. I dont have an index I can post online yet, but I plan to at some point in the future. My dads family came from Hunsingore originally, there are also Thackrays in my mums ancestry as well, those ones came from Bardsey, so I've just had a bit of a interest in anything Thackray related for quite a few years. Incidently does anyone know who the other Mary was? because there were 2 John Thackray and Mary. There was John T and Mary Dawson living around Salton and another John Thackray and Mary living at High Hutton about the same time, presumably they were related???.
Regards. George

Re: Thackeray Malton area North Yorkshire 1750 +
Our thackeray line was the only line in HA in 1760's, first sign of a thackeray in HA is our Francis marrying mary Elmer. So yes the two johns who married mary's should be related in HA BUT Francis did not have two JOhn's!!!! Maybe we have to recheck the John who married in Salton and somehow get a second proof he was son of fRANCIS. As for wills, my folks are always SOO poor I doubt I could get so lucky ........... Children of Francis T and Mary Elmer who married 1764 in HA 1. Jerimiah born 1776 married to Mary Hicks in 1798 living in Rillinton at the time, and buried in HA, his gravestone says Jeremiah T of Falsgrave died July 15 1858 age 80 yrs and Mary Thackeray wife of J. died March 27, 1850 2. John T. married Mary Dawson and died 1878 in Butterwick York, born 1785 3. I have the will of my Joseph who died in Canada BUT his wives are Mary Horsely b. 1767 HA, died May 5 1808 in Appleton. A second wife Mary that I know nothing about died May 25 1825 in Appleton.
maybe some of the others researchers have other T deaths. Thanks!!
