How intriguing to find someone who actually remembers Amy! Thank-you for sharing that with us.

Thanks for your offer!

My g-g-g-grandmother was Margaret FENWICK of Stokesley. According to IGI she m Hugh FOX at Whorlton on 23 November 1784, so unfortunately out of your timescale. I have visited Whorlton/Swansby and Malton (which is where most of my ancestors seem to have settled) but not yet been to Stokesley. I know nothing of Elizabeth's birth or her forbears at all, so would be grateful for pointers to any FENWICKs in the parish.

I am grateful for your trouble on this one. Since posting, however, things have moved on somewhat. Ultimately I found out that these two folk were married in Chicago, Ill, on 18 Feb 1884. The search had been made more difficult because it turned out that Amy COLERIDGE was just a stage name. She was actually Amy COWLRICK. Not only that, but the m/c showed her as Amy COWBRICK! They had two children but were then divorced, due to Amy engaging in naughties with another actor.

But thanks anyway.

I didn't visit Old Malton, but if you are thinking of New Malton (actually 800 years old!) then I'm not sure how much the two prinicipal churches will help you. There are a few, a very few, headstones at St Leonard's, the rest having been cleared, and as usual, they are almost impossible to read. Unless your family are sufficiently exalted to have one of the wall plaques inside the church (mine aren't) you won't find anything at St Michael's. But streetmap shows two cemeteries, presumably civil, which might reveal something. I din't get there this time.

Have you visited the Borthwick Institute in York? It's on the university campus and a pig to find, but they have some very useful records.

Good luck

Yep, I had the same prob with switching between parishes. I wasn't helped by the fact that St Leonard's is now an RC church, having been gifted by CofE some years ago. Very few headstones now left standing in the charchyard too.

Good luck, mawaltho. With such a common surname to research I certainly don't envy you your task.

How about you, jac? Any New Malton link between us?

I've got a Joseph WILSON, who m my g-g-aunt in Malton on 04/10/1847. Nothing else known about him except that his father was William Wilson, a stonemason.

Any connection?

Good luck

My very belated thanks, and sincere apologies, to Shirl and Nutty for these two responses.
Have now managed to find a little more info at the Borthwick record office on York Univ campus.
Also I have visited Malton, where the two streets shown on censuses still exist, although houses probably long gone (even if I knew which ones they were).
Much to do ...
Colin
