A Brother of Firby Hospital
« on: Tuesday 10 May 16 12:45 BST (UK) »
Searching through the Bedale burial parish registers I found several references to "a Brother of Firby Hospital". This comment follows the name of the deceased person.

Does anyone know if this is a religious order, some sort of medical person/profession or an inmate of an institution?

I've no local knowledge, but a Google suggests it's likely to be a reference to the almshouses at Christ's Hospital, Firby - have you looked at that?

James Stott c1775-1850. James was born in Yorkshire but where? He was a stonemason and married Elizabeth Archer (nee Nicholson) in 1794 at Ripon. They lived thereafter in Masham. If anyone has any suggestions or leads as to his birthplace I would be interested to know. I have searched for it for years without success. Thank you.

Thanks for the replies

Special Thanks to stanmapstone

As well as pictures, one of your links states  'Hospital' is an old word for almshouses so now I can now assume that my relative was probably living in these 'Almshouses' at the time of his death.
