I too would be suspicious of the info you found on a tree. The Gazetteer on Yorkshire Genuki does not recognise Woldale as a Yorkshire place name/location and a google search brought up a reference to a place in a work of fiction, believed to be based on a place in Lincolnshire, not Yorkshire. There are people named Berry in East Yorkshire (a couple married into one of my lines) but they were around in the 1800's and theories on their pedigrees can be checked in civil registration, parish registers, and other recognised primary source documents. How far back along the line have you got by using primary sources as evidence?
