Title: Parish where Buish Croft is located in Yorkshire?
Post by: gfinlay on Friday 04 August 06 21:46 BST (UK)

I am trying to find out the parish where a village named Buish Croft in Yorkshire is located.  I suspect that it is in the North Riding since her future husband was from Durham, Sundereland. I have a census record for an Elizabeth Bainbridge who was born in Buish Croft in 1832, and I would like to see if I can locate the appropriate parish church records.

Much appreciated if anyone can help!

I have attached the census image for Elizabeth (nee Bainbridge) Mills from the 1861 census which lists Buish Croft Yorkshire as her place of birth.  She married a John Dodds Mills in Teesdale, Durham, Yorkshire in 1856. 

The census image for an Elizabeth Bainbridge b. Abt. 1833 in the 1851 census says that her birthplace is Sherburn, Durham, Yorkshire.

Perhaps Buish Croft is somewhere near Teesdale or Sherburn? It could even be that Buish Croft was the name of a house although I don't know if they would use house names on a census.

I believe the correct location is Bowes Cross, about one mile east of Bowes.
There is a baptism for Elizabeth dau Thomas & Sarah Bainbridge, Nab House, 15th January 1833, Johnson Lambert, minister.  Nab House is 1.3 miles NW of Bowes Cross, and 1.4 miles NNE of Bowes village.
