My family comes from a community surrounding the Giggleswick parish in Yorkshire. Following numerous Water Mill closures in 1855, many of the town’s residents were left destitute and therefore needed to migrate. During this time period, most of the Hudson family left Giggleswick. In fact, only the elderly mother and the eldest spinster daughter remained in Langcliffe. One son stayed in Settle. The others all traveled and lived elsewhere.
Generally, these people moved in Lancashire into the market towns and urban areas in order to seek work in the cotton mill industry. Many of them huddled together in small communities.
I created a database for those people born in Giggleswick and neighboring communities. I compiled them by county and then tallied results. These do not include the children of anyone born in the communities, however.
The towns used in the database include: Selside, Langcliffe, Giggleswick, Settle, Horton in Ribblesdale, Rathmell and Stackhouse. Some of these communities were small. Stackhouse, for example, only had about five of six homes. Anyone leaving this village would have truly been noticed.
Langcliffe was said to have been nearly emptied. Homes were abandoned as the displaced families moved into other communities.
A sign in Giggleswick points to Clitheroe, about fourteen miles to the south. Within these ten years, Lancashire grew from 732 to 1202 residents who were born in the northern abandoned communities. That is a large increase.
Some families from Giggleswick (and neighboring areas) settled in Accrington, Lancashire. A part of the community became known as "Little Settle" because of the many incomers from this area in Yorkshire. Settle being the name of the market town of Giggleswick.

William Hudson
William Hudson is the brother of my fourth great grandfather, Joseph Hudson. My ancestor is ususally referred to as "The father of the 16 kids" because without Joseph and Dorothy's large family, the Giggleswickian Hudsons likely would have died out.
Their parents were James and Ann (nee Brayshaw) Hudson.
A few days ago I wasn't feeling well... I stayed home and worked on compiling William's genealogy. In England I had worked on this family with the indexes of Parish Records at the North Riding County Record Office in Northallerton. It wasn't until more recently I have had the time to compile William's descendants a little more...
Descendants of William HUDSON as of... 15 Nov 2007
First Generation
1. William HUDSON was christened on 13 Mar 1768 in Horton in Ribblesdale Parish, Horton in Ribblesdale, Yorkshire, England. He was the son of James and Ann (Brayshaw) HUDSON)
William HUDSON and Margaret AYRAY were married on 18 Feb 1797 in Giggleswick Parish, Giggleswick, Yorkshire, England. Margaret AYRAY (daughter of William AYRAY) was born about 1772. She was buried on 6 Oct 1813 in Giggleswick Parish, Giggleswick, Yorkshire, England. William HUDSON and Margaret AYRAY had the following children:
i. James HUDSON was christened on 30 Jul 1797 in Clapham, Yorkshire, England.
ii. William HUDSON was christened on 28 Apr 1799 in Giggleswick Parish, Giggleswick, Yorkshire, England. He was buried on 16 Aug 1808 in Clapham, Yorkshire, England.
iii. Charles HUDSON was christened on 7 Feb 1802 in Clapham, Yorkshire, England. He died of Small Pox on 31 Aug 1808 in Clapham, Yorkshire, England. He was buried on 2 Sep 1808 in Clapham, Yorkshire, England.
+5 iv. Nanny HUDSON, born on 31 Aug 1803, Clapham, Yorkshire, England; he married Andrew HEATON, on 20 Nov 1824, Giggleswick Parish, Giggleswick, Yorkshire, England
+6 v. Elizabeth (Betty) HUDSON, born on 22 Jan 1807, Clapham, Yorkshire, England12; married Richard STOCKDALE, on 1 May 1824, Giggleswick Parish, Giggleswick, Yorkshire, England
vi. Mary HUDSON was born on 19 Nov 1808 in Clapham, Yorkshire, England. She was christened on 25 Dec 1808 in Clapham, Yorkshire, England.
vii. Henry HUDSON was christened on 13 Oct 1811 in Giggleswick Parish, Giggleswick, Yorkshire, England. He was buried on 8 Dec 1812 in Giggleswick Parish, Giggleswick, Yorkshire, England.
William HUDSON and Mary BLACKWELL were married on 21 Aug 1816 in Giggleswick Parish, Giggleswick, Yorkshire, England.
Mary BLACKWELL was born about 1780. William and Mary appeared in the census on 6 Jun 1841 in Giggleswick, Yorkshire, England. She was buried on 6 Mar 1844 in Giggleswick Parish, Giggleswick, Yorkshire, England. William HUDSON and Mary BLACKWELL had the following children:
i. John HUDSON was christened on 8 Dec 1816 in Clapham, Yorkshire, England.19 He was buried on 22 Nov 1819 in Giggleswick Parish, Giggleswick, Yorkshire, England.
+ii. Joseph HUDSON, married Hannah HORNER, on 5 Aug 1848, Giggleswick Parish, Giggleswick, Yorkshire, England
iii. Thomas HUDSON was christened on 24 Nov 1822 in Giggleswick Parish, Giggleswick, Yorkshire, England.22 He appeared in the census on 6 Jun 1841 in Giggleswick, Yorkshire, England. He appeared in the census on 30 Mar 1851 in Starlton and Thorlby, Yorkshire, England.
At this point, I only have descendants for three of his ten children... Four of his children definitely died without leaving any issue as they were young children. Another of his children (Thomas) evidently reached bachelorhood without marrying. There were three children, Joseph, Nanny and Elizabeth who have descendants.
I am still seeking what became of some of his children, as there are a few whose marriages I have not found... James (the eldest) and Mary (the sixth child) have no marriages attached to them. I have not been able to find them.
Are you related to either James or Mary? What about any of the other kids?
As I am a little obsessive compulsive, I will research these families until I have them fully satisfactorily figured out...
Is Satisfactorily a word?

Fun place to visit...
If you're ever in Giggleswick or Settle, a nice place to visit is my old Ancestral Village of Langcliffe. According to the Settle Tourism Board, Langcliffe has "the best Green in the area"...
It really did have a nice little park in the center of the town. I visited twice and I never came across many residents of this town...
From a Gazetteer in 1868: "LANGCLIFFE, a township in the parish of Giggleswick, W. division of the wapentake of Staincliffe, West Riding county York, 1 mile N.E. of Settle, its post town, and 16 miles S.E. of Skipton. The village, which is small, is situated on the river Ribble. This township includes the hamlet of Winskill. Many interesting fossils have been found here. A portion of the inhabitants are engaged in the paper and cotton mills. The Catterick Toss waterfall is in this neighbourhood. The land is chiefly in pasture. The soil is sandy, with subsoil limestone. The living is a perpetual curacy in the diocese of Ripon, value £60. The church, dedicated to St. John the Evangelist, is a newly erected stone edifice containing two bells. There is a National school for both sexes in which a Sunday-school is also held. The Methodists have a place of worship. Langcliffe Hall is the principal residence."
It truly is a beautiful little town.
If you're related to the Hudson family who lived there, please let me know!

Agnes Morphet married a Nutter...
Yesterday I had a breakthrough with tracing a newfound member of my family.
This summer I came across this little girl in England... I thought I'd found the whole family. Turns out, I was wrong!
Stainforth Parish
Page 3, No. 20
7 April 1844
Agnes, daughter of Matthew and Grace Morphet
Abode: Stainforth
Occupation of Father: Labourer
Performed by William Richardson, Incumbent.
In 1848, both of her parents died in a workhouse leaving Agnes an orphan at about age four and a half. Agnes was the youngest sister of my great great great grandmother, Ellen Alice Morphet. She was the daughter of Matthew Morphet and Grace Sharp.
In 1851, she was living with an Aunt Mary (Sharp) who was at the time married to John Ireland and living in Langcliffe. In 1861, Agnes was working at a servant to a Gaoler (Jailer) in Walmgate.
After that, I didn't know what happened to her...
That is when I did some clever searching on http://www.ancestry.com/ in their UK Census Collection. I found her in 1871, 1881 and 1891. She evidently lived in Durham, Hunslet, Yorkshire and Sabden, Lancashire during this time. She moved a lot! She married Eli Nutter. I cannot find her on the 1901 census but the name Nutter is repeatedly misspelled on indexes.
She also lived in a place called North Meols. I haven't checked to find where this is located. Its somewhere in Lancashire but must be an area in Lancashire I've never looked! Its not familiar to me.
I am happy that Agnes' history is a little more explained now.

A Daily Dose of Giggleswick...
Although not Giggleswick, this is a back road in Settle---the neighboring Market town. A nearby building says it was a Weaver's cottage. Could these row homes also have been weavers' cottagers? And could my weaver ancestors have lived here?
You can decide for yourself. I choose to believe they did.
Its a gorgeous part of the town very close to the Procter house.

Settle Burial Records
The ancient town of Settle is the market town for Giggleswick. It is where, in all likelihood, Giggleswickians went to shop and sell their wares. The town is still beautiful and I loved visiting.
One side of the River Ribble is Giggleswick and the other is Settle. There is even a sign which shows the boundary line. (See Above, taken this past May.)

While in England, I had the great fortune of finding a printed edition of the Settle Churchyard Burial records published by the Settle Parochial Church Council in 2001. The North Riding County Record Office in Northallerton has no burial records at all for this church.
The Family History Library Catalog has Bishops' Transcripts for some burials, but not all. The NYCRO workers had never heard of this town and weren't familiar with the records.
Through a turn of events, I was able to get a copy of this book.
It is only covering burials starting in 1838 but covers until the year 2000. It is a small churchyard. But what a prize to have probably the only copy of these burial records in the entire United States! Only a limited number were ever printed. If you're interested in a copy, contact me and I will give you the contact information for the man who put them together. He asks only for a donation to the church. And, since these records are not available elsewhere, a generous donation is preferred!
When I begin my Giggleswick research of the town, I will use this valuable (sentimental, not monetary) resource.
Now I just need to get my hands on the Lune-Ribblesdale Parish indexes created by the NYCRO which covers Giggleswick... Hmmm...

The Basis of my research...
The following is the basis for most of my research on the Hudson family. This research has been conducted over the past year of my British research classes at Brigham Young University.
If you use this data, please do not distribute it without my permission. I have spent many hours (and money) preparing this family group record and would appreciate it!
To give some background, the Hudson family appears the first time in the late 1750's or early 1760's in Horton in Ribblesdale. By the 1800's, only a few Hudsons remain (Joseph and his brothers, William and Miles) ... All married girls in Giggleswick and settled there with their families. Joseph had 16 children with his wife Dorothy and almost all reached adulthood.
If you would like more information, please let me know! I have extractions of all christenings, marriages, census, burials, etc. I am trying to find information on the extended lines of those who married Hudsons as well. If any surnames match yours, please let me know.
Miles Hudson is highlighted as he is my direct line.
I have traced most of the descendants of Joseph Hudson and Dorothy Metcalfe (including married female descendants) to 1901 or beyond. I am working on tracing the descendants of Joseph's two brothers who remained in Giggleswick.
Thank you!

My plans as a Giggleswickian...
My great great great grandparents were my most recent "born in Giggleswick" ancestors. However, I feel very much as if I am a true Giggleswickian...
When I visited England this summer, I made three trips to visit Giggleswick, Settle, Langcliffe and Stackhouse. I was not able to visit everywhere that I would have liked to visit... but I did go to the Settle Workhouse (actually located in Giggleswick: now a hospital...) Walked the hills of Langcliffe. Visited the local churches. I even visited Ye Olde Naked Man Cafe. I had a wonderful time.
Currently, I'm working on a project to trace where Giggleswickians settled after the Langcliffe mills closed around the year 1855...
In the future, I am hoping to basically trace all major Giggleswickian families through the British Census as well as link them with the Parish records. (Essentially completing a Population study...)
I may try to contact the North Riding County Record Office. Perhaps they will exchange a copy of some of their records (they have extracted the whole parish) in exchange for me completing the genealogical research.
I have a copy of the Settle Chapelry burials which is only published locally. It is a real treasure and would be a great asset to tracing all the families of Giggleswick.

My Giggleswick Ancestors
I am a genealogist researching the HUDSON family of Giggleswick... I have been tracing the descendants of Joseph Hudson and his wife Dorothy Metcalfe of Giggleswick and Langcliffe, Yorkshire, England.
