Wilson of Underley

[ellerydesign]

Looking for some data (births, marriages, burials) on Thomas Wilson of Underley Hall, near Kirkby Lonsdale  and Jane Pennington.

I know Thomas Wilson was born about 1658, succeeded to Underley about 1684, and died January 1723. No details of his wife Jane apart from baptism at Bootle 1664 and marr. Jan. 1685.

They apparently had 8 children, of whom 5 predeceased Thomas. The only names I have are:

Henry who died January 1721, marr 1716 Barbara.
Thomas, 3rd son, born 1691 = July 1714 Frances Tatham. They apparently had one child reg. at Kirkby Lonsdale.

Any dates or details would be appreciated please.

Kind regards, Craig

I found an interesting document online with a history of Underley, and which includes a section on the Wilson family. I don't know if it contains anything that you don't already know, but as a taster here is the family tree that is included (rather low res to meet the size restrictions).

The document is at https://tinyurl.com/ysmjk3ae

Underlay is in the parish of Kirkby Lonsdale. I wondered if the family baps and burials etc might be registered there between 1685 and the early 1700s? There is nothing on freereg, ancestry and family search that I can see. Does anyone know where I can access the parish registers online? C

There are three entries in The Biographical Register of Christ's College that may be of interest, but it's unclear to me if you are interested in the family before the last Thomas Wilson. Are you?

Anyway, here is the chronologically most recent:

Wilson, Henry: son of Thomas: born at Kirkby Lonsdale. School: Halifax, under Mr Cockman. Admitted pensioner under Mr Bainbridge 21 June 1639. Age 15.

B. A. 1642 Mids. Admitted at Gray's Inn 18 March 1630, as of Underley, Westmoreland: i.e. Underley Hall, near Kirkby Lonsdale.

Hi Allan,

Many thanks for that info on Henry Wilson.
You're right... Sorry. I should have been clearer. I'm actually researching the Pennington family of Seaton Hall, Cumbria (of which Jane is a member, daughter of Miles P & Judith Lawson). So largely interested in the descendants of Thomas Wilson and Jane P.
However there isn't much on the Wilson branch of Underley House, Kirkby Lonsdale. So any additional info is welcome.
This Henry (b. Kirkby Lonsdale c. 1624) would appear to be the father of Thomas (b. 1658).

Thanks, Craig

What is the source for Beethom? I ask because the article that I linked in reply #1 says:

In 1732, according to the Underley Estate "Title Deeds": "Hugh Ashton of Kirfitt Hall bought Underley Hall and lands and tenements at Keswick (i.e. Kearswick) from Thomas Wilson". By this time, the Underley Estates included both Near and Far Underley which had been consolidated by the Wilson Family.

.

It does also say that it is possible that the last Thomas Wilson never resided at Underley, so perhaps Beethom was a tenant? However that name appears nowhere in the document.
