Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: Thackray in Rotherham, 18th century
« on: Saturday 14 March 09 22:22 GMT (UK)  »
Mark,
Thomas and Rachael are my grt,grt,grt Uncle & Aunt - Thomas' Brother Joseph is my direct forebear. I wondered if you have managed to find any other info. re.the family? I amparticularly  keen to learn anything about Thomas's Father (I believe that he was also Thomas but would like to confirm this.
I don't know if you are aware, but Rachael's husband Thomas was murdered whilst carrying out his duties as a gamekeeper on the Wharncliffe Estate. I have some details of the incident as recorded at the time.
I also have quite a bit of the family tree on your (Thomas & Rachael's) side down through George, Walter and John Barnes PARKIN.
Please contact me if you wish, I would love to learn more of the family history.
Kindest regards,                                    theluddite

Sorry to butt in - but you wouldn't (perchance) be associated with an Ancestry Tree entitled CRAVEN/TANNER TREE would you?

I only ask because I am keen to share information on the PARKIN family who I am aware also feature in this tree -they also crop up in some numbers in Wortley/Ecclesfield/Oughtibridge/Tankersley/Grenoside/Finkle Street/ Rotherham / Woodhouse & Handsworth.

I appologise if I am barking up the 'wrong tree'!!

                                                                 Thank you,

                                                                            theluddite.

Do you have access to Ancestry? Whilst researching my grandfather's war record
I came across a bloke called Bagshaw who was in the same regiment -  the York and Lancaster - and had a close regimental No to my forebear - have a look if you can it  may be worth a look - I did have his Service Record but have (unfortunately) recentlt deleted it in a 'spring cleaning' spree - Sorry!

Forgive me if I 've got this wrong - this is my first post in this forum.
I arrived here via a google search. My forebears are PARKINS. My Grandfather & Great Grandfather were from the woodhouse area of Sheffield but very recent information from a new source suggests that their predecesors were gamekeepers in the Wortley area - possiibly at Wortley House. An unconfirmed story indicates  that one of my relatives 4 or 5 generations back (in the early 19th/late 18th Century was actualy murdered whilst on his rounds as a gamekeeper on the Estate with his brother and a trial ensued at York Assizes.
Some of the persons involved may have been a James or posssibly Joseph PARKIN.
Does anyone have any knowledge of tthis incident or these people.
Thank you in anticipation, theluddite.
