I've reached a brick wall and hope someone out there can help.
Thomas Chippendale born either Skipton or Embsay, WR Yorks in 1562, marriage to Isabel Ingmire Skipton 1602, death 1636 poss Embsay.
Children:
Elizabeth 1602-1602
Ellyne 1606
George 1608-1609
Isabel 1610
Margaret 1619 - married George Phillip Skipton Holy Trinity 1636
Thomas 1615-1686
Peter 1619-1708
I am trying to find out if either of these Thomas' had relatives who were 'gentlemen' and had anything to do with the bankers of Skipton and mill owners of Skipton and Embsay with Eastby. The bank was Chippendale, Netherwood and Carr, the mills were also owned by the same company. The mills were Flax mills in the Washburn Valley, Otley and Skipton in the early 1800's to round about the 1840's.
There is a copy in a local library of a 'lease and re-lease' of Millholme mill Embsay by Thomas Chippendale the elder to Thomas Chippendale the younger dated 1784 who was cousin of Thomas the elder. There was also a later lease 1795. Thomas the elder married Barbara Baldwin at Holy Trinity Skipton in 1775, they had a son Thomas in the same year they married, he was recorded on the marriage record as a gentleman.
There are 2 other marriages, one in 1803 and one in 1809 both Thomas Chippendale, both Holy Trinity. The records I have for Holy Trinity are burials and marriages, no baptisms.
I did look in the library and found the baptism for Margaret Chippendale dau of Thomas in 1613 but am struggling to tie in the other Chippendales.
Any help would be great, I've got very confused with all the Thomas'.
Thankyou..
