Hello John, i have only just found this thread, i wondered how you are related to Jemima? Munson, mentioned in the Will is my 4x gt grandfather. I don't know how long you have been researching the Wortley's, but yes, all the Methwold Wortley's are one big family. It would be great to hear back from you, please get in contact.

Regards Louise

My 3x great grandparents were John Adams and Christiana Stephenson. Johns brother was your David. So I think we are both of the same generation.

Hi Johnnyrey,

Would be interested if anyone has the answer to your question.  Thomas Smith bn 1818 Falsgrave  married Mary Morrison 1828 Kirkbymoorside, their daughter Mary married John Adams 1856 Easingwold.   My gggrandmother was an Adams and I am told by a lady  who comes down the Adams line that she is gypsy and that all the Adams were gypsy.
Also Hannibal Swales was the brother of my ggggrandfather James Swales bn Kirkbymoorside.    Were they gypsy or travellers??

Val ???

Well, John Adams 1856 Easingwold is my great great grandfathers brother. All my adams were "Travellers" i was always told they were travellers, never gypsy.

What is your gggandmothers name? and who was her father?

I cannot get to the bottom of this gypsy/traveller meanings business, i dont believe that travellers were just the irish. my Adams, Wortley, and Fergusons were all "Travellers"  :)

Hi,
not sure if Robert is related. My grandmother Mabel swales was born at Pickering, I have recieved information her father was William Swales and her mother was Margaret Adams. William swales dad was James Swales and his mother Mabel Busfield. Margaret Adams Mother is John Adams and mother is Christiana (maiden name not known). My Swales family are from Pickering and Kirby Moorside and where ever else they moved to,
Regards Janice

Hi Jan is your Margaret Adams born 1868, if so she is my great great grandfathers sister :)
gosh this is all amazing. i have Swales enter my Adams family on nearly every generation, i also have an ancestor marrying a Cunningham,

so if anyone on here has adams, preferably a descendent of Robert Adams born approx 1858 (give or take a couple of years) Easingwold, please get in touch :) I would love to see photos if anyone has any, i only have my great grandmother and one of her sister, so it would be nice.
