I'd be interested to learn if my forebear Leonard Raw (born c1744) was baptised in Downholme. He lived at Bellerby and was married/ buried at Spennthorne (Bellerby was in Spennithorne Parish) but I've not found a trace of his baptism (A Leonard Raw was Bapt at Grinton in 1745, but he died as an infant).

A possible sister of Leonard was a Frances Raw born c1749 (one of Leonard's daughters was also a Frances). She also lived at Bellerby and died unmarried in 1822, being buried at Downholme. This is what makes me think that there might be a Downholme connection.

Any help gratefully received.
