Hi there
My North family came from Butterwick/Barton le Street also and at the moment I don't believe that Thomas who died 1825 is mine either. However I think he was the son of John North (b 1700 died 1811 - yes - 111yrs old, the death was reported in the York Courant on the 20 May 1811), John was a butcher from South Holme and he married Elizabeth Marshall in Kirby Misperton in 1733. Thomas North (1753 -1825) married Easter Spink in 1805, Thomas was a farmer at South Home, Hovingham.
I hope you have better luck with your North tree than I am having!
