I remember a converstion on here a while ago with Sugarcrafter, as a boy I lived on the same street as her Unthank family in Bolton-on-Dearne, they had quite a few of the family living there.

here is the link to that conversation

Hi

Just caught sight of the name 'Unthank' as I was browsing. I've been looking for 'Eves' and 'Theakers' in Hinderwell Staithes Yorkshire and found a few Unthanks there too.

For those interested in the Unthanks

The following were all publicans in West Hartlepool

Joseph Unthank - Musgrave Street  1873 - 1881

Hannah Unthank Tower Street 1896 - 1918

Margaret Unthank Tower Street 1921

Mrs J Unthank George Street  1894

Joseph Unthank - Stranton 1868

Stephen Unthank - Stranton 1881

Hannah Unthank - Stranton 1887 - 1894

I believe that they were all from the same family.

Marie

While searching kirk session minutes for a one place study, I've come across a Mary Ann Unthank who was 'lately come' to the parish of Walls, Orkney, according to a minute of 1 July 1841 . She was the wife of William Wilson and had been a member of a Methodist church in Hull for two years. William was from Orkney, almost certainly from Walls, and could well have been a seaman. Their marriage appears to have been registered in the Sculcoates registration district, East Yorkshire, in the 2nd quarter of 1841 and they were recorded in Walls at the time of the 1841 census, both aged 20.

William and Mary Ann are no relation to me but the very unusual surname has intrigued me and I hope that someone may "recognise" Mary. There is a baptism record for a Mary Ann Unthank, 27 Dec 1818, Sculcoates, daughter of Robert and Susannah, which may be her.

Unthank is also a small village near Penrith in Cumbria.
