June 26th 1725/26 Whitby St Mary
Francis Porrit of Lyth & Elizabeth Bennison of Whitby
The Bennison family and its name variations seem strong
around Whitby is the above a coincidence.
Jul 14th 1754 Whitby, vol 7 page 5
Wm Gales widower of Whitby & Isabel Bennison, widow of Lyth, Licence

Dear Shipwright23, This is my first post on RootsChat, so I'm not sure of procedures re posts. You have the Gales as far back as 1450 and I should be v. grateful for all you have before 1754, when Wm Gales m. Isabel Bennison at Lythe. I can’t find William’s previous history.
On the marriage Allegation the words ‘and upwards’ follow the age stated – in William’s case 40. So there is no indication of his actual age.
There is a Wm Gales on IGI b.abt. 1702 at Whitby, died abt.1779. This entry is in small case, which means it was made by a member of the Latter Day Saints, not by one of the professional genealogists the LDS used, and so LDS recommend that these entries are treated with caution (as, I have been advised, should all IGI entries) and be confirmed where possible by other sources.
There is also a Wm Gales on IGI b.abt.1713 at Hutton-Rudby, Yorkshire. A Wm Gales m. a Jane Bowes 21 Nov 1738 at Stokesley, Yorkshire. A Jane Bowes was b.abt. 1717 at Stokesley. A Jane Bowes was c.2 Nov 1721 at Stokesley, father Thomas ‘Bows’. (This could be one and the same since very often baptisms took place some time after birth.)
Births: A Jane Gales was c.12 Oct 1742 at Stokesley to Jane Gales
A Wm Gales was c.24 Feb 1746 at Stokesley to Wm Gales
(The child died 30 July 1747)
A Wm Gales was c.26 Dec 1749 at Stokesley to William
Gales.
You have the Gales at Scruton, Bedale, Whitby. Have you seen records that definitely tie Wm of Scruton to the 1754 m. to Isabel? I've been stuck on this for ages, so I would love to get clarification.
Christopher Vasey m. Jane Booth Gales 24 Nov 1841 at Middlesbrough. Are these your family?
Many thanks.

I will on-forward your comments to GALES cousins and see if we can identify a link or confirm the data.

Hello Crabby, I'm listing below what I have on Bennison. Those I haven't researched for myself I've gained from members of Genes Reunited or other family groups, which of course I can't verify, but at least it gives you a basis from which to do further research. I shall put the letters GR after those from these sources.

***Henry Bennison m.7 Jun 1777 to Margaret Jackson at Whitby: children: Isabella, c.3 Feb 1778, Margaret, c.20 Jun 1780 (m. William Gales (b.1781) 10 Mar 1803 at Whitby), Henry, c.abt.20 Jun 1781, ****William, c.14 Dec 1782, Catherine, b.8 Nov 1789, (all children b. at Whitby and all from IGI).
{Margaret Jackson died and Henry then m. Mary Craven 1 Jun 1800 - no children (from IGI)}.
****William Bennison m.6 Sep 1808 Hannah Flintoff at Whitby: no children. Hannah died 1819 (GR). Wm then m. Jane Harrison 7 Oct 1820 at Whitby (from IGI): children: Margret c.29 Dec 1820, Hannah, c.4 Feb 1823, *****Henry, c.abt.1825, (all children at Whitby and all from IGI).
*****Henry m.Jun qtr 1847 at Whitby to Harriet Hodgson (from FreeBMD): children: William Henry, b.abt.1849, Whitby, and Hannah Jane, b.abt.1850, Whitby (both from 1851 census).

Hello again Crabby,
I forgot to mention that you have Isaac Gales (b.1809) m. to Elizabeth? b.1812. I can't find anything on Isaac beyond his birth. However, there is a family of Gales in Littlehampton, Sussex, although I can't trace a connection. Do you have evidence that these are our Gales?
Regards, 8 Rossal

Just came across your post Crabby. I am descended from Bennison and Theodosia Gales. If I can help with any info you don't have or any you can share with me, most welcomed.

G'day kellygang
Thank you for your response.
Do you have information on the Maiden name and date and place of birth of Theodosia?
Were there any children from the marriage with Bennison?

I'm trying to find the family of my 5th GGF Capt. George Bennison (b. Abt 1750) who came to New York during the Revolution. All I know is that he was from Yorkshire. I'm assuming possibly Sheffield area. Common names in this family then were George, James, John, Samuel and Edward. Don't know anything else about him unfortunately. Were the Bennisons a large family in Yorkshire ?

My records show a George Benison the fifth child of Thomas and Catherine Benison in the Parish of Bentham - West Riding of Yorkshire. Thomas was the curate of Melling his son George is also officiating at a marriage service in 1784-5. This is the only George I can find in my records of the WR of Yorkshire in the 1700's. The Benisons are in this area back to the 1600's.
Children of Thomas and Catherine were John 1743, Elizabeth 1746, Catherine 1748, James 1750, George 1755, Catherine again 1757, Mary 1760, Then Jane daughter of Revd Mr Benson 24th May 1763.
If you are looking at someone born in 1750 what dates are your revolution, I am thinking 1775 to 1783 which does not quite fit with the George above, possible I suppose, if he went to America with the British army ??? , we had a militia system a bit like conscription we were a troublesome lot what with France and Africa etc.. My 3 times gr grandfather was a driver of cattle if called, apparently they took their food on the hoof, he was called on once and went to York driving a herd, to the assembly point, where they were told it was a false alarm, a burning haystack was thought to have been a call to arms, signal beacon.
