HARKER, CARDUS (Carrodus, Carradice, etc.)

[baileyjohn]

Interested in hearing from anyone researching the above surnames - Anywhere.

My Harkers were from Grassington in Wharfedale but originally (pre-1765) from Swaledale.

Hi Tony

Sorry we haven't been able to help you so far on this one. 

Have you made any progress,  or do you have any further details that could help someone to find what you are looking for?

Look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes

Hi Ticker

Thanks for your reply - mainly just interested in anyone researching HARKER in Yorkshire - or anywhere else for that matter.

My own tree is fairly settled from 1765 onwards - just occasionally adding an odd twig or fifth cousin twice removed
 

Anything before that date is speculative anyway.

Hi Tony

Thanks for the update.  Do you think it might be worth posting something on the one name studies boards if you are looking for all occurences of these surnames in Yorkshire?  See http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?board=151.0

Best wishes

My ancestor was Ruth Harker, she was born around 1803 at Booze which is a hamlet in Arkengarthdale. Her father was John but I don't know anything else about him or Ruth's mother.

Hi Tony,
My 3rd great grandmother was a Mary Harker born abt 1801 in Manchester although she married 05 Oct 1820 at Helmsley to Thomas Hildrick (Hildrith).  Mary and Thomas lived and brought their family up at Nawton in the Parish of Kirkdale.
I believe that Mary had a brother Ephraim also born Manchester abt 1799.  Ephraim married Ann Peirson 28 Apr 1824 at Rosedale, Yorkshire.    The reason I believe that Mary and Ephraim are sister and brother is that the two youngest children of Mary are visitors in Epharim's household on the 1851 census, although their surname was incorrectly  enumerated as Hildrey.  There is also further visitations between the families on later census.
I have been unable to locate the batisms of either Mary or Epharim(Ephraim) so have not been able to take the family back further.
Although they were both born in Manchester, I believe that the family was originally from Yorkshire.
If you have come across these two, or have any further information on them, I would be very greatful.
Kind Regards
Lainey

Tony hasn't been online since August 2010. 

Perhaps the info on this thread will be valuable to others though.

Thanks for that.  Hopefully this information will come in use for someone, and maybe they may even get back to me at some point with further information that could help me out.
Kind Regards
