I had a quick look at the records and since there was not too many there I shall give them to you, three in all  :'(

Winn, Jane, of Embsay, spinster.
died 17/10/1812
buried 20/10/1812
Aged 72 years, of natural decay

Winn, Elizabeth, wife of Mathew of Eastby, Carpenter.
Buried 26/4/1777

Wynne, Mathew, of Eastby, Carpenter, son of Francis late of Eastby, Farmer.
died 19/12/1789
buried 22/12/1789
aged 82 years of natural decay.

Obviously the last two appear to be husband and wife.
Note some information is more detailed than others.
Burials at Skipton.

Hope some of these are useful to you,
cheers
Margaret

Glad to help  ;)
Should have mentioned that the burials were at Skipton Holy Trinity.

Re: pm, found a couple of marriages but no baptisms.  My baptism records only go from 1839-1929, sorry but nothing in that timeslot for any variant of the name Wynne.

Marriages:
Win, Mathew of Eastby, Carpenter, to Elizabeth Brier of Kildwick, married on the 13/6/1754
(obviously the couple  mentioned in burials)

20/2/1909 - Winn, Joseph, age 40, bachelor, game keeper, of Crookrise, Skipton, father - Thomas Winn, deceased, to Clara Jane Lister, age 35, spinster, of 3 Wellington St., father - William Lister, farmer.
witnesses: James Lister and Ann Lee
married by certificate.

Wynn, Ralph, bach, married at Holy Trinity, Skipton, to Hilda Annie Bailey, spinster, of this parish, on the 18/6/1950 (by Banns) married July 11th at 1.30.

Hope this helps.

Hi Margaret

Could you check at all if there is a burial of a Mary Wynne/Winn/Wynn between 1751 and 1754

She is Matthew Winn's 1st wife, maiden name Simpson, married Matthew in Sept 1735, Skipton. They had children Francis 1736, Jane 1739, William 1742, Matthew 1748 and Martha, 1751.

Matthew then marries Elizabeth Brier in 1754 and they have a child Jonathan in 1755, but there was no mention of Mary Winn in the burials that you gave me  :o

Thanks
Cezza

Hi Cezza,
I looked on IGI and noted that Mathew Wynne married Mary Spencer, not Simpson (made special note only because I have Simpsons in my lines)

let me appologise, seems I missed some burials earlier of which I wil provide a bit later. I could blame the set up on the cd but that would be a cop out on my part :D ::)

Re: Mary, 1st wife of Mathew, not having any luck what so ever in finding her burial in the timeslot of 1751-1754 or in any timeslot.  Even checked Kildwick.
If she was from another parish she may be buried in her own family plot, but where.  I do not have the marriage on cd as it does not go to 1735.
And some of the children are buried at Skipton, Mathew and Martha are there.

And I noted that in his second marriage the details are not given as to whether he is batchelor or widow - isn't that always the way.

Not much help, will give other burials a little later, still in pj's and hubby is now up and moving around, it is morning here in Oz.

My mistake, I have no idea why I put Simpson, oops!!

no dramas ;)

ok, now I am respectfully dressed, brekky done and housework can wait some.

Burials at Skipton.

Winn, Jonathon, son of Mathew and Elizabeth of Embsay, carpenter, buried on the 16/9/1756

Winn, Martha, daughter of Mathew of Eastby, carpenter, buried 5/8/1751

Winn, Mathew, son of Mathew of Eastby, labourer, buried 11/1/1754

Winn, Susanna, widow of Eastby, buried 11/6/1756

Wynne, Francis of Eastby, pensioner, buried 3/3/1734

Wynne, Agnes, daughter of Francis and Susannah, a labourer of Eastby, buried 12/4/1721

Ok, so with this we know that Mathew was of Eastby and was a carpenter for the birth/burials of children listed from both wives, Mary and Elizabeth.
ie:The baptism of Martha in 1751 on IGI states Mathew and Mary, her burial in 1751 states father is a carpenter.
Also same for Jonathon, baptism on IGI and burial.

I wonder if Mary died during childbirth, that being Martha in 1751.
Wish my baptisms went earlier on cd.

It seems pretty certain that this is the same Mathew who has married twice, but reality it would be important to verify this and we have ruled out his second marriage as providing details for him being a widow, and cannot find death of first wife, Mary.

I will keep looking and see what I can come up with, I have tried so many variations - even Whin.  If you can think of any other variations let me know, but really gave the 'W's a full work out for that timeslot.

I will take up the challenge  8)

Wishful thinking here but could the W in Winn be mistaken for a 'M' or possibly 'N' if the handwriting is hard to read??

  Hi again, just about to send message when noted yours,
I will check the N's, see below for other variations I have looked at.

On checking IGI:

Mathew Wynne baptised 13th July 1707, parents were Francis and Susanna, which fits nicely with your Mathew and his first son is named Francis.
But you probably have this ...
Looking for Mary Spencers baptism, found this likely one, baptised 7th March 1708, Skipton  - parents William and Jane.
Fits nice and second son named William and first daughter named Jane, fits in with traditions.

Where am I going you ask  ;D ..... just figuring which parish Mary was from, seems to be Skipton also, and should be buried there.
I can only conclude that either it wasn't written in parish records or the transcriber of my cd has not included.   I have checked it at least 3 times, looking again at variations, even Vinn, Minn etc.
The cd is not searchable, just data to look at one by one, else I would try first name and date and play with that.

Sorry, have not found the one burial that I imagine was the one you wanted out of all of them.
I do hope I have at least given you some extra info to play with.

Regards
Margaret

Hi Margaret

You have been most helpful and kind to give up your time to help me, thankyou

At least you have come to the same conclusion as me based on the facts we have, Mary's burial must have fell thru the cracks so to speak! Oh well we cant have everything we want, we would all give up if genealogy was easy!!

Big thanks again  ;)

No problems, couldn't see any likely variant in the N's, even gave Gwynne a shot  ;D

Do you need some lookups for the Spencers?
Might as well seeing as ya got me here  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Just give me details of what you have, saving me looking on IGI, then I will search at leasure 8)

Hi cezza

I have some records that go a bit further back which may interest you.  Given that the name Winn was rare especially in Eastby I thought you might be interested.

baptism  16 march 1678
Thomas son of Francis Winn of Eastby  (Could be your Francis's brother and father)
bapt    25th july 1680 Ellin dau of Francis Winn of Eastby
burial  14 july 1680 A child of Francis Winn of Eastby, not baptised (??twin of the above)
Apologise if you already have these but if not I hope that you can tie them in.

regards westsmith

Thanks very much for that info westsmith, i am sure they will be linked to my family as looking on google maps Eastby is not that big and as you say Winn is not very common

Thanks again
Cezza
