Looking for some Inmon/Inman's

[roaddummy]

Hello.  I hope that I am in the right place.  I have been doing some research on my family tree.  I live in the states.  Most of my family from around 1700 to the present is from the US.  While searching, I found that I have an ancestor that came from Pately Bridge, Yorkshire sometime between 1653 and 1701.  I know that is quite a ways back, but if anyone has any information or anything that is useful, I really appreciate the help.  I also have some family a little farther back (late 1500's) that are from these areas:  Hartshead, Fellbeck, Netherdale, Bouthwaite, N Posture House.  If any of these areas look familiar to any of you, please let me know.  Also, I would like to know what kind of are Yorkshire is and where it is located exactly.  Since I am not from England, I am not familiar with any of the areas of the country.  Any and all help is greatly appreciated.  Thank you very much!!!

Pately Bridge is in the Yorkshire Dales, which is a beautiful area (and this is from a Southerner!)

Here is a good link to start from:-

You must have heard of 'All Creatures Great & Small'? These books were set in this lovely area, although James Herriot actually lived in Thirsk a way to the east.

Good researching!

Hi
Welcome to RootsChat

Have you tried Hugh Wallis's site ?
Scroll down the link page for Pately Bridge

Yorkshire could be regarded as the Texas of England - bigger and better than anywhere else, but I am sure that these thoughts are very controversial amongst non-Yorkshiremen. We are situated towards the North of England, about the centre of the British isles and a ridge of hills, the Pennine Chain, devides us from our arch rivals in the next county of Lancashire. The county of Yorkshire is divided into 3 Ridings or thirds and Pately Bridge is in the North Riding. As John says 'A beautiful area'

thank you all for the information.  I am about 2-3 hours from the state line of Texas.  It is a very pretty state.  Like where I live in Arkansas, you go from very flat lands with forests to hills and mountains.  But, nin Texas, they also have lots of desert in the western part.  I love the desert.  It has a beauty all it's own.

WOW!!  I am going to save thatand read it.  I am going to see if the people match the ones I have found so far on my family tree.  You guys are great!!!!!  Just curious, is Inmon/Inman a common name in England??  It is not a very common name here.  We do have a few here in Arkansas that I am not familiar with, but for the most part it is not a common name.  I spell mine with an "o" as in Inmon.  Thanks again!!

Hi Melanie,

This site will answer your question on the frequency of the name, or any other names.

Good luck in connecting your Inmans to the other link I gave you.

Hi Melanie

This site has a very good map of Yorkshire to freely download.

I have Inman's in my direct line from Methley in the West Riding that may have come from the Pateley Bridge area as I have other family from this area and Ripon nearby, I have a CD of the Ripon Records if these are of any help.
