More Morphets...

Recently, I began working on a project again regarding an illegitimate Morphet's descendants in Giggleswick.

John Morphet was born in Horton in Ribblesdale in 1802, the son of Ann Morphet. Through a lot of work, I was able to determine which of the four living Ann Morphets at the time was his mother. (All were first cousins born within a few years of each other.)

His mother was the daughter of Edmund Morphet and Elizabeth Wilson.

He married Mary Bentley in 1823 in Horton in Ribblesdale and at this point, I have found eleven children for him...

Yesterday I pieced together his son Joseph's family:

Joseph was christened on the 26th of November 1826 in Clapham, Yorkshire, England the son of John Morphet and Mary Bentley. He married Jane Knowles on the 23 September 1848 in Giggleswick, the daughter of John Knowles and Jane Guyer, who was christened in Giggleswick on 18 December 1825.

They had three children:

John Morphet, c. 25 December 1848 in Giggleswick who married Alice Cockshott on the 24th of April 1869 in Giggleswick.

Mary Jane Morphet, c. 9 Jun 1851 in Giggleswick who married Patrick Cox about June 1876 in the Settle Registration District.

William Morphet, c. 13 August 1865 in Giggleswick who married about March 1896 to Caroline Farrow.


Joseph's brother Bartholomew is also a family I have worked on... He was christened on the 4th of June 1825 in Clapham and moved up to Cumberland and Westmorland... where he married Elizabeth Furness and had four known children, but possibly more. He always stayed in Cumberland. To an inexperienced researcher, they might not realize that he is in fact the same Bartholomew as the one in Clapham.


Also, I have been locating several illegitimate Morphets in Giggleswick post 1849... I think I'm up to a total of 6. I am not always sure WHO the mothers are, but I have figured out who two of the mothers were for a total of three children. Two of them were sisters of Bartholomew and Joseph.

I will post more information about them as I learn more!

If anyone is interested in more information on these people or knows something additional to add, please let me know!

Also, if anyone is looking for help in tracing their Giggleswick ancestry, please contact me. For quick questions, I can always answer them... for more in-depth research, my rates will be discounted for any Giggleswickian.

Langcliffe Church Records

I am trying to locate the original Parish registers for the Langcliffe Chapelry. They are not located in Northallerton, as they are supposed to be... I have an address and phone number for the church. I planned on contacting them to see if I could find the records through them.

Before I do that, is there someone who knows of their location?

I'm very much interesting in indexing these records IF I can get digital images (or photocopies) ... If anyone is familiar with this church or knows the location of these documents, PLEASE let me know.

If the church is interested in getting me copies, I will gladly make a searchable database for them. Free of charge.

My family lived in Langcliffe and I know those records would be invaluable to me.

BTW, I know that 17 years of the Bishop's Transcripts for this church exist. I am looking for more than just those 17 years!

Morphets, Hudsons, Bullers and more...

As it has been over a year since I have posted genealogical data on Rootsweb, I have decided for now to upload my information (including sources) onto World Connect.

Although I don't have a direct link into my WorldConnect page, you should be able to locate it by searching for Matthew Morphet at the below link.http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com

Feel free to browse my listings. The names are heavily involved in Giggleswick and local families in surrounding parishes for many of the lines.

If you would like to know more about them, I could easily have additional things which I have not posted. I have to-do lists always several pages long and I am always behind with my lists of Ancestors I need to add to my database but don't have the time.

If you connect to me, please contact me... I would love to share information. As you may have noticed, I have not allowed for Gedcom downloading of my research. If you want a gedcom, please contact me directly and I would be happy to send you one... preferably if you also have information to share.

CARRS breakthrough!

For those who do not know, Giggleswick is a Dade parish. For the period of the 1780's-1812, the Parish registers include grandfathers' names and residences for each child christened in the Parish. Ages are usually provided at death, and many times occupations and parentage.

The Carr surname is extremely common in the Giggleswick area, extending back into the 1500's.

I knew my ancestor James Carr was born abt. 1811 in Giggleswick. I had found his christening ages ago but due to a computer crash, I lost it. I located it again... this is what it said:

April 7th 1811.
Jas. son of Thos. Carr of Settle son of Wm. Carr by Agnes his wife daughter of Richd Curran of Bolton

He had six other siblings born in the parish: Richard, John, Robert, Chrissy, Elisabeth and Anthony. His parents, Thomas Carr and Agnes Curran were married 16 June 1791 in Giggleswick.

Previous christenings for his siblings gave his grandfather Richard Curran's name as both William and Richard and his place of residence ranged from Bolton to Bolton by Sands to Bolton Le Sands. I checked online Parish Registers for Bolton Le Sands (about 20 Miles from Giggleswick along the coast in northern Lancashire) and located Agnes Curran's christening. Her parents were Richard Curran and Jane Borrow.

Thomas and William are pretty common names for the Carr family, especially Thomas. I was a little dismayed his name wasn't Oliver or Theodore as that would have been much easier to trace.

However, after checking other registers I located two men who also had a father named William Carr in Settle during their childrens' christenings.

Anthony Carr who married 15 June 1774 in Giggleswick to Elizabeth Marsden, daughter of George Marsden. And also Richard Carr who married Allison Houghton in June 1789.

Rather than look just for a Thomas who is the son of William, I now had two brothers to search for. I believe, actually that Thomas and Richard must be the younger siblings in the family as they were married many years after Anthony.

I have been going through the Dade parishes to see any other children of William Carr from Settle but I have yet to discover any.

If anyone is familiar with the Carr genealogy of Giggleswick-Settle, please contact me!

Metcalfs in ... Canada?

One of my projects has been tracing the descendants of the Morphet family in Canada. For one line, my fourth great aunt Jane Morphet (daughter of Jonathan Morphet and Ellen Jackman) moved to Canada about 1845)

In the IGI I found Jane's marriage to George Metcalf. For those who read my blog regularly regarding my findings, you might remember that a man named George Metcalfe is an ancestor of mine in Yorkshire. The connection between the two Georges isn't known however its possible there is a connection. My ANCESTOR George Metcalfe had a son named John (same name as this other George's father) but I am not sure if the two Johns are the same making this George Metcalf the grandson of my ancestor George Metcalfe.

If it was true, I'd be excited... but George Metcalfe is a rather common name. If his name was Behelzebub I'd be more likely to connect the two.

George and Jane had a son William George who was stabbed by one of his lunatic asylum patients. A history on his life led me to finding the rest of his family in Canada.

Although not complete, this is what I have regarding their family thus far...

This is by no means complete. I believe "E.J." is Elizabeth J. I believe that one of the daughters married a Galloway, though I forget which.

Richard Henry Metcalf made his way to the United States. He lived in Kentucky and then died in Cincinnatti and is interred in Kentucky, where I believe his wife must be buried as well.

I have almost no Canadian research skills! But I am doing my best.

If you are related to this family, I have copies of all the pertinent documents including some of the grandchildren for George and Jane. I would appreciate information from you to supplement what I know about the family.

THANK YOU!

More Morphets

For a class I am taking, I am trying to verify 4-5 generations of a single family. I chose my Morphet family because they've been one of my baby projects for the past two years or so.

I am currently working on compiling a very detailed Descendancy of the Morphets. Mostly, I have been working on finding the decendants of my 7th great grandparents, the following couple: John Morphitt (c. 1703) and Ann Rathmell.

When I first began this family, the farthest back that I knew on my Morphet line was Ellen Alice Morphet and her father Matthew. I did not know which line she descended from, although, I'd seen some Morphets in the local parish records.

A year ago, I traced my Morphet line back to the 1600's... As I am stuck now with not being able to go anywhere else with the ancestry (there is a gap in the records) I began gathering descendants. And as I have a perfect excuse to do it, I decided to go ahead and start with my 6th great uncles' kids... Richard, Edmund and Joseph. I gathered quite a large collection of them. Once I had them sorted out, I started to add to them some grandchildren... I have not traced all these families to 1901 but I intend to do that. Currently, the families are mostly in the early-mid 1800's.

For some reason, the Morphet males tend to die younger and I end up with a lot of daughters to trace. However, that's the fun challenge.

Enjoy!

If any of these are your family or if you have anything to add, please contact me at: Bradleymarchant@gmail.com

My Latest News on my Giggleswickians

I often have new discoveries on my Giggleswick lines which I do not document here. In fact, I find something new about every week... Usually by tracing descendants of my families.

A few days ago, I discovered two marriages which intrigued me... The following is the most interesting.

From Clapham Church Records, FHL Film: 1849279
Page 91
Marriages in the parish of Clapham in York in the year 1835
George Metcalfe of this Parish, Husbandman and a Bachelor and Jane Morphet of this Parish, spinster, were married in the church by License this eight day of June in the year One Thousand eight hundred and thirty ive by me: Ja. Robinson, Curate. This marriage was solemnized between us: George Metcalfe's mark and Jane Morphet. In the presence of: Ann Morphet and James Metcalfe's Mark.
No. 173.

Doing a parent-search on the IGI, I discovered four children:

John Metcalf, C. 14 Feb 1836 in Clapham
Elinor Metcalfe C. 10 May 1841 in Horton in Ribblesdale
Jonathan Metcalf, C. 30 Sep 1838 in Horton in Ribblesdale
Mary Ann Metcalfe 07 April 1844 in Horton in Ribblesdale

I quickly found this couple living in Austwick on the 1841 census but then following then, they disappeared!

I did some google searching and learned that this family evidently emigrated to Ontario, Canada back in about 1845-1846.

This is actually the third sibling in a family of 11 that I have proven moved to Canada. I actually think more of them left as well but I have yet to prove it just yet. Jane's sister Agnes Morphet who married Edmund Morphet and brother Robert who married a woman whose name was, I think, Isabell if I remember right. All settled in Canada.

My ancestor, their eldest brother Matthew, died in 1848. His orphaned daughter Ellen Alice Morphet married a Hudson in Accrington and became my great great great grandmother.

My 4th great aunt Jane Morphet Metcalf lived in Uxbridge, Canada in 1851.

I am still working on solving what happened to them. My knowledge of Canadian genealogy is limited. In fact, its essentially non-existant. I am hoping to find some information on them later this semester.

Another interesting note to this puzzle if that my 5th great grandfather was named George Metcalfe. He was the father of Ellen Alice Morphet's mother in law, Dorothy Metcalf.

Is this George Metcalf who settled in Uxbridge also my distant cousin?

If anyone is a member of the Metcalfe\Metcalf society, I'd appreciate knowing if you can find any information on these families!
