Mortimers of Horton

[Myrrh]

  Never mind.  It has been really interesting, and has given me a feel for the kind of roots I have in Yorkshire.  Three Daniel Mortimers, so long ago, with such poor records - bad for the health!

Best regards

If anyone is still interested in researching the Mortimer family, they are in my family tree and I've written quite a bit about them on my blog (search under 'Mortimer'):

John Mortimer of Shelf (1681 - 1742) was my 7 x great grandfather. I have a copy of his will, as well as a number of other family wills.

The Richard Mortimer mentioned in a post in this thread was John's son. The arrangement with James Dyson of Huddersfield makes sense - as the latter was his brother in law. Richard's brother John M junior died in Huddersfield in 1747 and his widow Mary later married James Dyson.

Hello Martin.  Phew, you have a lot of info on your site! Well done.  We seem to be distantly related, but how, is anyone's guess!

Thanks! If you find out any more about the Yorkshire Mortimers, please let me know. I'm still trying to work out why my ancestor Joseph Holdsworth (grandson of John Mortimer of Shelf) moved down to Essex in the mid 18th century. Still a lot of work to do on this, I guess...
