Hi Holly
Are you on Ancestry.co.uk? My tree is on there - it's private, but I could send you an invitation to see it if you're a subscriber. If not, then send me your email address & I'll send you some photos & more info.

Holly Hall is still standing and occupied, but I'm sure it's much altered. It's really lovely!

Hi all,
Holly Hall is a large, beautiful old farmhouse on the edge of Greenmoor, near Wortley, in the area known as Hunshelf, South Yorkshire. I am descended from Elizabeth Vintin baptised at Wortley St Leonard on 25 March 1715, daughter of William Vintin, Forgeman of Wortley Forge, in the parish of Tankersley.

Catherine Vintin was Elizabeth's niece, daughter of William (christened at Wortley 13 Oct 1728), who was one of Elizabeth's siblings, and his wife Sarah Gillott. Sarah came from Rotherham and children are quite often baptised where the parents were married or raised - although Catherine's brothers William & Thomas were both christened at Wortley, a chapelry in the parish of Tankersley.

William 1728-94 was son of William Vintin & his wife Ellen, born at Attercliffe Forge, Sheffield, and baptised at Sheffield St Peter's Parish church (now the cathedral) on 7 Mar 1695.

The Vintins were Huguenots who first appeared in South Yorkshire (Rotherham) in 1612. They came from France as iron workers.

I have photos of Holly Hall and other relevant places in the area and quite a lot of information on the Vintins if you'd like more info.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I've got quite a lot of info for the Vaughtons in Brewood, but can't do any more on them until I can prove a link with George. Funnily enough, George & Sarah are buried in the churchyard in our village - bet they could give some answers!

Staffordshire / George Vaughton, Brewood

Has anyone any connection with Brewood, Staffs? My ancestor George Vaughton appeared in Barnsley, Yorkshire in 1775 as a wire maker when he married Sarah Ellis. There were no other Vaughton's in the area. The only baptism I can find is in Brewood, Staffordshire to Thomas and Beatrice Vaughton in 1753. I visited Brewood and found graves for Thomas & Beatrice and 3 sons, but not George, (and no burial recorded in the PRs), which suggests that he may have left the area. Thomas died intestate and his estate was administered by his eldest son, also Thomas. - no mention of George or his other children. I can't find any reason why George would have gone to Barnsley from Brewood aged 19 and can't prove a link to Brewood. I would be very grateful for ideas!
