Find Ancestors

Thank you Maureen! How are you so good at sniffing them out? One down..................................!!

You really should look on the Access to Archives site. There's plenty about the Goftons of Filey including (I'm sorry to say) a bastardy order. On a more cheerful note there's a photograph of Bert Gofton in a football team: Filey Heritage Collection of photographs, file 17: organisations Catalogue Ref. FHC/F17 Creator(s): Crimlisk Fisher Archive FILE - People: schools - ref. FHC/F17/5/2 - date: 1909 - 1910 Filey Council School, names on reverse: Bob Overy; Tom Chapman; BERT GOFTON; Jack Belt; George Lord; Jim Burton; Matt Crimlisk; Marston Gray; Harry Cunningham; Maria Unwin; Ada Richardson; Elsie Cappleman; Rachel Pashby; Lily Waggitt; Hilda Brown

Ann on the 1841 - the name on the image IS Kilbeck. I agree it's your family though - perhaprs they pronounced it without the 'ing'

Hi Ann Would you like me to take a look at the Filey parish registers for you? I'm never quite sure when I will be going to our CRO, but I would like to make it in the next fortnight Jeanette x

Info for Ann (easier to put on here than in a pm) Ann - if you do an IGI search for children born to Thomas Killingbeck and Leah, you get 1. WILLIAM KILLINGBECK - International Genealogical Index Gender: Male Birth: 24 NOV 1806 2. WILLIAM KILLINGBECK - International Genealogical Index Gender: Male Christening: 30 NOV 1806 Carlton Juxta Snaith, Yorkshire, England 3. SARAH KILLINGBECK - International Genealogical Index Gender: Female Birth: 29 DEC 1808 4. SARAH KILLINGBECK - International Genealogical Index Gender: Female Christening: 01 JAN 1809 Carlton Juxta Snaith, Yorkshire, England 5. JOHN KILLINGBECK - International Genealogical Index Gender: Male Christening: 05 SEP 1813 Carlton Juxta Snaith, Yorkshire, England 6. GEORGE KILLINGBECK - International Genealogical Index Gender: Male Christening: 03 APR 1811 Carlton Juxta Snaith, Yorkshire, England 7. BESSY KILLINGBECK - International Genealogical Index Gender: Female Birth: 08 MAR 1805 8. BESSY KILLINGBECK - International Genealogical Index Gender: Female Christening: 10 MAR 1805 Carlton Juxta Snaith, Yorkshire, England 9. SUSANNA KILLINBECK - International Genealogical Index Gender: Female Christening: 25 JAN 1818 Birkin, Yorkshire, England 10. ROBERT KILLINGBECK - International Genealogical Index Gender: Male Christening: 02 JUL 1820 Birkin, Yorkshire, England 11. ANN KILLINGBECK - International Genealogical Index Gender: Female Christening: 21 JAN 1816 Birkin, Yorkshire, England 12. MARY KILLINGBECK - International Genealogical Index Gender: Female Christening: 31 JUL 1822 Birkin, Yorkshire, England I would say they're all the same family - Carlton & Birkin are both in the right area. So, going back a step, on the IGI for Thomas who I'm guessing is born 1770 to 1780 You've a likely birth 1. THOMAS KILLINGBEK - International Genealogical Index Gender: Male Christening: 11 MAY 1777 Carlton Juxta Snaith, Yorkshire, England (this is an extracted record so likely to be 95% correct) and a likely marriage THOMAS KILLINGBECK Marriages: Spouse: LEAH BRITON Family Marriage: 25 JUN 1804 Carlton Juxta Snaith, Yorkshire, England (this is a member submitted entry so a degree of caution is needed) William 1806 is on 1851 census (gives pob as Carlton) George 1811 is on 1851 census (born 1808, pob Cowick) So, yes, you could be on the right lines. If it was me I would want to dig a little more on the other children to see if I could get more corroboratiion before I stick them on my tree. I'd especially want to know more about this little lot ho107/2351 f270 p19 Living Ousegate, Selby Mary Furniss abt 1804 Selby, Head widow formerly laundress Mary Furniss abt 1840 Selby, Daughter scholar Nancy Furniss abt 1842 Selby, Daughter scholar Thomas Killingbeck abt 1776 Camblesforth, Uncle ag lab When finances allow I would get that Gofton/Killingbeck marriage certificate - it will help with the is he/isn't he of Thomas Killingbeck/Leah as parents. Jools

Hiya Jools! Might aswell let Ann know on here then that I'm booked into the CRO all day tomorrow! Jeanette x

Thanks everyone! Lots to add to the tree here then if it seems as though this is our John Killingbeck ! Good Luck Jeanette at the CRO tomorrow- hope you find something! Thanks again Jools for all the info. The Langdales are next I think.....................................................!!?!!

I think you are probably right Jools. I need a cert for John Langdale & Thomasin Cooper as well so might hold on until I can afford to get them both. Just really fascinated by it all, so quite impatient! Trying to run before I can walk I think.
