Find Ancestors

Hello Margaret - I'm glad you picked up on my up-date. Thank you again. I was just putting a few Arbuckle names in the GR search but to no avail as yet. I'll keep trying.
The Church are hoping to publish an up to date brochure for the congregation and visitors and it was suggested that the information on the Arbuckles was included in it, which is great. The only thing is it's a very old church and there are umpteen plaques in memory of various people, I'm concerned they may want me to research a few more!
Oh well, it is autumn here now and the gardening has slowed down somewhat, maybe I could just fit the odd couple in!
I've only been into genealogy about three years or so.It really is amazing that you have been able to help me from so far away - thanks.
Continued good luck with your tree, Margaret.
Take care, with love and good wishes, Beryl

You sound like a soulmate, Beryl! I, too, get sidetracked and go off on tangents. I spent more time researching a step-grandmother even though I wasn't related to her at all but her life was so fascinating.
Mind you, I didn't stay up as late as you did, I'm in Canada so 5 hours behind you.
Margaret

Dear Margaret - sorry I missed your final reply last night, but here I am now to say thank you very much.
As you can imagine there was much chit chat in church this morning with all the info I'd been given last night. In fact, I'm not normally up as late as I was last night and nearly overlaid this morning!
Your latest message looks really promising with possible ancestors. I think I need now to put some of these into the GR name search and see if anybody else is researching that family.
I'm actually researching my own parent's families but I seem to have got side tracked! I don't mind at all though, this is gripping!
Thanks so very much, from Beryl

A descendant, perhaps?
Lt. James Hugh Arbuckle (RNVR) of Thorne married Miss Kathleen Hall of Scunthorpe, 17 Oct. 1942.

A David Arbuckle (possibly son of Dr. Hugh?) married Kate Servant in W. Derby 1918 then a James H. Arbuckle (the Lt. above?) was born 1920, Thorne with mother's maiden name Servant. Also a David D. Arbuckle born 1922, Thorne with MMN Servant.

Margaret - the house on Ellison Street was called 'Drumclog'!
I remember it well as a child because it was such an unusual name and it was near the park. Sadly, it was pulled down in the 1970's although Elm Lodge where he lived in 1881 still stands today.
Elm Lodge is a big house on its own whereas if I remember rightly Drumclog was detached, but in a row and not quite as grand as Elm Lodge.
I'm buzzing with excitement tonight, thank you so much.
I wonder if any of his family stayed locally - oh well, another time!
Much love and thanks from Beryl

Oh Margaret - What a special man Dr Arbuckle must have been. Thank you so very much for that wonderful information. The Thorne Workhouse is still there although it's been converted to flats now. With the plaque being in Church, we can only imagine that he was a frequent member of the congregation. I wonder what he looked like.
Again, thank you so much. Think about me in the morning passing all this info on to my friends!
God Bless you and all Dr Arbuckle's ancestors too.
Take care from Beryl

Beryl, there's no house number on Ellison St. on either the 1891 or 1901 census but in 1901 they have the name of the house "Drunslog" or "Drumslog"?

Denise, all that information - thank you so much. Just one final question please. On the 1891 census does it give a house number for Ellison Street in Thorne. On the 1881 they lived at Stonegate, so I'm wondering where they moved to and Ellison St is only a stone's throw away from me!
Thank you, Beryl

Medical News. Dec. 7, 1918

DR. HUGH WIGHT' ARBUCKLE of Thorne, Doncaster, died there on November 17tIh, aged 71. Three days earlier he had made a round of professional visits, and at night retired to rest without showing signs of the deadly coma
in which he was found on the following morning. He was born at Kilmarnock in 1847. He studied at Glasgow and was awarded tlhe. G. Watson gold medal at Glasgow in 1867; he graduated M.B.Aberd. in 1869 and M.D. in 1871.
Nearly fifty years ago he acquired a practice at Thorne and somewhat later was appointed medical officer to the Thorne workhouse and to several of the neighbouring parishes. In 1877 Dr. Arbuckle was appointed the medical officer of health for the Thorne Rural District, a position he held with much credit till hlis death. By dint of persevering evening study he had qualified for this position by obtaining the D.P.H.Camb. in 1890. He was a certifying
surgeon under the Factory Acts. Dr. Arbuckle was
pre-eminently the friend of the weak and poor, over whom he wielded a benign influence, and by them especially he will be much missed.

This could be Hughs' grandparents with his father??

Thanks again Denise, Ericthered and also Margaret for your time tonight in helping me. Your information is just great.
I have to tell you all that a few weeks ago in Church a few of us were looking at a plaque in memory of Hugh Arbuckle. We were interested that he'd come to Thorne from Scotland and married a lady from Nottingham in the mid 1800's. The house where they lived with their family is still there and I pass if often, a lovely old house.
I have found his grave no. in Thorne Churchyard with his wife. A Quentin and David Arbuckle are also buried with them but I didn't know who they were.
So tomorrow morning in Church, guess what the topic of conversation will be!
Thanks so much again.
Take care from Beryl

Hi Denise and Ericthered,
Thanks for all the information, it's wonderful of you both.
I'd looked on the 1881 and found Hugh, his wife and three children - Hugh, Agnes and Robert so I was wondering if there were more children.
Any idea of the relationship of the people listed to Hugh (thanks D for mentioning sister Agnes). Guessing some might be servants to a doctor.
Thanks so much.
Beryl
