Hi. I am looking for a birth or baptism record for Margaret Kneeshaw born about 1810 in Stokesley, according to census records. I believe her father may be Thomas Kneeshaw, born about 1782 in Pickering. Margaret married John Pearson in the parish church in Acklam in 1837.
Thank you.

Hi Kathy

Margaret Kneeshaw, Christened 3 July 1809, Stokesley. Father Thomas Kneeshaw. There's also an Ann Kneeshaw, Christened 21 Sept 1812, father Thomas Kneeshaw

We aim to please! :)

The baptism record for Margaret gives Thomas's occupation as mercer and at Ann's it's mercer and grocer, sadly Ann was buried age 3 on 02 November 1815.
There are also baptisms for the children of Robert and Sarah Kneeshaw and Thomas's marriage if you're interested.
-
Yes, I would love that information. Thank you, thank you, thank you..
You have been a great help and a goldmine of information.

You're welcome :).
18 April 1808 St. Peter & St. Paul, Stokesley, Thomas Kneeshaw married Susanna Fawcett both of this Parish by licence. Witnesses: G. Kneeshaw, Mary Kneeshaw and Wm. Skelton.
there's also 18 July 1808: Mary Kneeshaw of this parish married Benjamin Adamson of Scarborough by licence. Witnesses: G.Kneeshaw, Thomas Adamson and Ann Kneeshaw.
I couldn't find a marriage in Stokesley for Robert & Sarah but plenty of children. Robert's occupation was watchmaker.
16 January 1815 Elizabeth daughter of Robert and Sarah Kneeshaw baptised (buried 18 January 1815)
01 November 1815 Elizabeth daughter of Robert & Sarah baptised
01 May 1817 William Smith son of Robert & Sarah baptised
03 February 1819 Richard son of Robert & Sarah baptised
21 March 1821 Amelia daughter of Robert & Sarah baptised
14 September 1823 Robert son of Robert & Sarah baptised
28 February 1825 Thomas son of Robert & Sarah baptised
27 February 1827 Geo. son of Robert & Sarah baptised
30 December 1828 Sarah Smith daughter of Robert & Sarah baptised. There's a note for this one that reads " 30 December 1828 Kneeshaw, Sarah Smith daughter of Robert & Sarah originally entered as Janethen altered"
30 July 1830 Margaret Ann daughter of Robert & Sarah baptised ( buried 29 March 1831 age 9 months)
06 January 1832 Joseph son of Robert & Sarah baptised.
If you would like me to look for anything else just let me know as I have Stokesley records on fiche.
Hope that helps.

Just found an MI which reads:
James Fawcett who died 25 August 1809 aged 61 yrs. And of Margaret his widow who died 14 Nov 1820 aged 83 yrs. Also of Ann the dau. of Thomas & Susanna Kneeshaw who died 15 Jan 1815 with 6 other of their children & grandchildren of the above J & M Fawcett who all died in their infancy." ( Footstone A.K.)

Dear Barbara,
Thank you again. This is tremendously helpful. You mentioned having this on microfiche. Is it also on CD for purchase?
And MI:::: does that mean monument inscription or something else?

Hi, sorry to take so long in replying but our computer broke, I've therefore lost all my links so don't know if the records are available on CD but if you want anymore look-ups just let me know.

Dear Barbara,
Not a problem, but glad you are up and running. Thanks for your help.

I came across this page when researching a letter I have from a Thomas Kneeshaw headed Stokesley Jan 28 1832. It is addressed to a Mr Lee in Cornbr(ough) and concerns land rents, reclamation of land from flooding and general repairs. Overall it seems that Thomas is acting as agent to Mr Lee. I assume this is the same Thomas Kneeshaw you are interested in and if so I can send a transcript of the letter ( and scans of original letter if possible)

I have traced the famiy back to John Kneeshaw 1706. Pickering area in Yorkshire.
-
I had to look back through this thread to see what it's about as it is such an old one.
Welcome to Rootschat Pete. :) 1706 is an impressive length of research.
Kathy's profile tells me that she hasn't been online since October 2013 so you might not get an answer from her but you never know! Fingers crossed that you do or perhaps someone else who is interested in the family will spot the post.
-
Thanks, yes it's a long shot.
I've been fortunate that the surname isn't too common. I believe that the tree I have put together is correct and I am now trying to prove it all!
-
Hi,
I have not been online for a long while. You are correct. I lost the link and could not for the life of me remember the name of the chat... I would love more info on the Kneeshaw line. I went to England a couple of years ago and found Margaret Kneeshaw Pearson's grave, along with her husband and son.. All buried together in one plot.. is this common?
Thanks. I too had to go back and read the threads... Thanks to both of you for your help. Kneeshaw is an uncommon name. It helped that their son had it for a middle name.
