And to the end These Rules may from time to time take place, the said Donor desires that the Vicar for the time beeing shall read over this said Declaration to the Churchwardens and overseers of the poor of the said townes of Kirkburton and Thurstonland at the time of the Disposall of the said Interests every yeare, exhorting them to a conscientious observation of the Rules herein prescribed, and they the said Churchwardens and Overseers writing downe the names of the poor persons, whom they really beleeve so qualifyed as above expressed with what proportions they think fit to bee allotted to each person according to their necessities, The Vicar for the time being is to direct and governe the thing, to adde to or lessen the proportions allotted to each person so qualifyed, as hee in his conscience shall thinke reasonable, to answer the Will and Good intention of the Donor, in case the eaid officers appear partiall or otherwise bent to hestow the said Charity unworthily or irregularly without a due regard to each persons necessity and charge and good conversation as is above expressed, And the said officers are hereby required to distribute the proportions so appointed and determined by the Vicar faithfully without adding or diminishing at their utmost perill.

Note. -It adds much to the interest of this Gift by an 'unknown Benefactor' to know that it was a Roman Catholic who was giving this sum of money for the benefit of the honest poor about him ; at a time, also, when Roman Catholics were being heavily fined or imprisoned for holding their forefathers' faith. The Donor, John Horsfall, was the son and heir of William Horsfall of Storthes Hall, Lord of the Manor of Thurstiland, whose death took place in Feb. 1711-12, aged 77. John Horsfall's name appears in the Book-Register (in Part xxx. Yorks. Arch. Jour) "of the names and real estates of Papists, 1717-1734." This is the first Gift, for any public purpose, to be found in the Kirkburton records. - John Horsfall was buried at Kirkburton on August

2nd 1722, aged 62 years. His son Richard Horsfall married Grace, the grand-daughter of the Rev. Joseph Briggs.

Yorks : Arch. Jour. part xxxii. " Macaulay says of the Roman Catholic gentleman of this period,-He was Roman Catholic because his father and grandfather were, and he held his hereditary faith sincerely, but with little enthusiasm. Excluded when a boy from Eton and Westminster, when a youth from Oxford and Cambridge, when a man from Parliament and the Bench of Magxstratee he lived quietly on his estate, on terms with his nexghbours, unambitious and inoffensive.

The Inscriptien on a stone tablet in the Boys' schoolroom reads thus :-

" This school built A.* 1714 at the Charge of the Inhabitants ; it was first Endowed with £100 being the Free Gift of M" Henry Robinson of Leeds, Clerk ; with £20 Given by M'" John Horsfall of Storzs-Hall, Gent., And was afterwards endowed by the said Mr Horsfall's noble legacy in his last Will with £400. - All which sums are to purchacs Lands and Tenements for the better maintenance of the Schoolmaster ; And for poor children learning in Thurstiland and Kirkburton. Da dum tempes habes, Tibi propria sit manus Hares Auferet hoe Nemo quod dabis ipse Deo." The abovesaid Rev. Henry Robinson, Vicar of Trinity Church, Boar Lane, Leeds, and brother-in-law of the Rev. Joseph Briggs, Vicar of Ku'kburton left at his death in 1736, amongst numerous bequests to other charities, £100 to the School at Kirk- burton. '

A Declaration for Memories sake by Joseph Briggs clerke present Vicar of Kirkburton in the County of Yorke, shewing the true reason for altering the manner of disposing of the TWenty pounds D . . . mentioned in the Declaration on the foregoing page of this Register booke and in a distinct paper kept in the great chest with 3 locks in the Vestry of the said parish Church by the Donors particular private order to the said M' Joseph Briggs before the date hereof, as followeth. Whereas there hath been in the year last past a Schoole-house erected in the towne of Kirkburton above said for teaching children the English tongue and educating them in good learning, att the cost of the Inhabitants of the said towne and with the help of some contributions of neighbouring Gentlemen, And whereas the Reverend M" Henry Robinson of Leeds clerke hath promised the said M" Briggs the summe of Forty pounds, The principal summe to bee laid out or bestowed with what summe shall at any time hereafter bee given by any charitable persons for the same use, as soon as an opportunity can be obtained to purchase a proportionable reall estate in House or lands, And the interest of the said summe according to five pounds per centum, from the ffeast of our Lords Nativity last past to pay the wages of four poor children of the inhabitants within the said towne of Kirkburton and to buy them bookes, which Interest of which forty pounds, Hee the said M" Henry Robinson hath ordered the said Mr Briggs to pay quarterly to the present Schoolmaster of the said Schools for four

poor children of the saide towne, beeing by him taught, untill such a purpose can be had and obtained.

Know all men therefore by this present Declaration, That the said M" Joseph Briggs having of late accidentally come to the knowledge, who it was that sent him the Twenty pounds by the hands of John Rooley of Whitstones in Thurstiland late deceased (No. 9508) which is expressed in the precedent Declaration, who being the undoubted Donor and Benefactor, then unknown to the said M" Briggs now for reasons reserved to him- self beeing still desiring to have his name concealed from all other persons, He hath upon the building of the said schoole and upon the said M" Robinsons noble gift thereunto given the following orders to the said M* Joseph Briggs privately concerning the disposing of the said Twenty pounds and its accrewing interests, as followeth, That is to say, The said donors will and mind and order is, That first the principal summe of the said twenty pounds bee laid out and bestowed by the said M" Joseph Briggs or his successor for the time beeing together with the said forty pounds so given by the said M" Henry Robinson as abovesaid to purchase some reall estate or Houses or lands of a proportionable value, as soon as an opportunity can bee had and obtained and whereas the said Donor of the said twenty pounds beleeves upon good grounds that the Benefit to the poor will bee much more substantial if the accrewing interests bee bestowed towards the teaching of poor mens children, than for any other way of releeving them, or the parents, His will mind and order is That the Rents of the proportion of such estate as shall bee hereafter purchased answering to the said twenty pounds, and in the meane time the accrewing interests of the said twenty pounds from the time of the Date hereof according to five pounds per centum shall be paid by the said M'" Joseph Briggs or his successor and the churchwardens of the townes of Kirkburton and Thurstiland for the time beeing or some of them, as they come to their

hands, unto the Master of the said School in Kirkburton for the time beeing as wages for his teaching two poor children, one of them chosen by the said M" Briggs or his successor in the said towne of Kirkburton and the other of them chosen by the said M" Briggs in the towne of Thurstiland and so pay for their bookes, or if the said MT Briggs or his Successor shall think it convenient, hee may sometimes divide the interest or Rent to pay part of the wages of two poor childrens teaching in either of the said townes, leaving it to the parents to pay out the other part of the wages as hee shall see cause. And as for the interest of the present year from St. Thomas day last past, what is above the said wages for the time from which they shall bee entred into schoole to the ensuing St. Thomas day, it is to bee bestowed for clothing the said poor children. And so likewise in case of a Vacancy, that there bee no schoolse- master for some time to teach in the said schoole, or that such poor children bee not for some time to bee found, or for some good reasons be not forthwith put into the said Schoole, That then the proportion of the interests or Rents for that time bee laid out in clothing the child or children, when they bee actually entred into the said schoole. Of all which it is the Donors mind will and order, That the said M* Briggs make this Record and Declaration in this place in this Register booke, viz: in the next page after the said first Declaration, and allso in another distinct paper to bee put into and kept in the great chest with three locks in the vestry of the church of Kirkburton aforesaid, And the said Donor hath allso signed and previously given to the said M'" Briggs a separate paper to keep private and by the Executors Adm"* or Assignes of the said M" Briggs to bee transmitted to his successor in the said Vicaridge of Kirkburtcn, for him to keep privately all to himselfe, Wherein the said worthy Benefactor declares the said twenty pounds to bee his Gift by the said John Rooley since deceased, And that the premisses are his mind and will concerning the disposing of the said twenty pounds principall and interest, it being still the desire for diverse good considerations to have his name concealed and for some time not made knowne to the world. All which premisses I the said Joseph Briggs declare and attest by these presents and of them make this Record in the said place limited in the said Register booke, whereof the distinct paper is a true copy to be kept in the said great chest as abovesaid, This twenty eight day of Aprill in the eight year of the Reigne of our Sovereign Lady Anne by the Grace of God of Great Brittain Queen, Defender of the ffaith &c. and in the year of our Lord 1709 in perpetuam rei memoriam. Signed in the presence of us the present Churchwardens of Kirkburton and Thurstiland and to all the premisses wee consent, witnesse our hands Jonathan Lockwood (Nos. 9506, 9656). Thomas Rowley.

Note.-There is a discrepancy between the date here given, 1708, for the building of the School and the date, 1714, on the Tablet in the School, the Inscription for which Tablet appears to have been written after the death of the Rev. Henry Robinson in 17836.

Note.-The amount of Land described in these Terriers as belonging to the Vicarage of Kirkburton, points back to the probable time when these lands were first given to the Church, for they are just the 33 acres, or 'hide' of land, which, according to Anglo-Saxon law, was obliged to be given for the maintenance of the priest, when a land-owner wished to erect a church. * The possession of this certain amount of land in the district was the indispensable condition of enjoying the privileges and exercising the rights of a freeman.'

Extracts from Terrier taken in 1709, when the Duke of Leeds bought the Manor of Wakefield. The original is in the Rolls Officeat Wakefield, where also are Documents, dating from 1272, which would furnish material for a complete History of Kirkburton Parish, if taken in conjunction with D" Morehouse's History of Kirkburton, and with these ubhshed Registers. “The Mannor of Wakefield in the County of York is one of the most large and extensive Mannors in England. The greatest part of the West Country from Normanton four miles East of Wakefield to Lancashire being parcel of it, and no less distance than 34 English miles.

Kaye, Esq., of Denby Grange, was, at this time, Lord of the Manor of Kirkburton, and was a descendant of the ancient family of Burtons of Kirkburton. In 1455, Thomas Burton gave his daughter Isabel, with certain lands, in marriage to Eimund Kaye, of Woodsome, Esq. by whom he had issue Nicholas, who dying s. p. was succeeded at Woodsome by his cousin Sir Arthur Kaye.

KB. Reg). Their great grandson, Thomas Triggott died in 1633, leaving three daughters, co- heiresses. On the partition of his estate, the Manor of Burton was allotted to his second daughter, Elizabeth, who was then the widow of John Moseley, Alderman of York, by whom she had had two daughters, Margaret and Anne. Margaret married Sir John Kaye of Woodsome, and brought to him the Manor of Burton. By this marriage, all the lands belonging to the old family of Burton, besides what had gone with Isabel Burton in 1455, went into the possession of the Kayes of WooAsome Hall.

Note.-Canon 70. Ministers to keep a Register of Christenings, Weddings, and Burials. London Ecclesiastical Synod, 1 James, i, 1603. "In every Parish Church and Chapel within this Realm, shall be provided one Parchment Book at the Charge of the Parish, wherein shall be written the Day and Year of every Christening, Wedding, and Burial, which have been in that parish since the time that the Law was first made in that behalf, so far as the ancient Books thereof can be procured, but especially since the beginning of the Reign of the late Queen (Elizabeth). And for the safe keeping of the said Book, the Church-wardens, at the Charge of the Parish, shall provide one sure Coffer, with three Locks and Keys ; whereof the one to remain with the Minister, and the other two with the Churchwar- dens, severally ; so that neither the Minister without the two Churchwardens nor the Church-wardens without the Minister, shall at any time take that Book out of the said Coffer. And henceforth upon every Sabbath-day, immediately after Morning or Evening Prayer, the Minister and Churchwardens, shall take the said Parchment Book out of the said Coffer, and the Minister, in the presence of the Churchwardens, shall write and record in the said Book the Names of all Persons chnis- tened, together with the Names and Surnames of their Parents ; and also the Names of all Persons married, and buried in that Parish in the Week before, and the Day and Year of every such Christening, Marriage, and Burial ; and that done they shail lay up that Book in the Coffer, as before ; and the Minister and Churchwardens unto every page of that Book when it shall be filled with such Inscriptions, shall subscribe their names. And the Church-wardens shall once every Year, within one Month after the five and twentieth day of Marck, transmit unto the Bishop of the Diocese, or his Chancellor a true copy of the Names of all Persons christened, married or buried in their Parish, in the Year before, ended the said five and twentieth day of March, and the certain Days and Months in which every such Christening, Marriage and Burial was had, to be subscribed with the hands of the said Ministers and Churchwardens, to the end the same may faithfully be preserved in the Registry of the said Bishop ; which Certificate shall be received without Fee. And if the Minister or Churchwar- dens shall be negligent in performance of anything herein contained, it shall be lawful for the Bishop, or his Chancellor to convent them, and proceed against every of them as Contemners of this our Constitution." ~ ' In the troublous time,' when Episcopal authority and Canons were in abeyance, the post of "Register" for Kirkburton parish was held by a layman, William Hepworth ; and his fitness for the office as a writer is shown by his handwriting, which is clearer and better than any in the Kirkburton Registers D" Morehouse says of William Hepworth that he married a Lord of Rochdale, and that like his father, Robert Hepworth, the re-builder of Shepley Hall, he held the office of Collector of the King's Tithes and Chantry Rents; and in addition also, he held the office of Coroner of the district. He practised as an Attorney, but nothwithstanding his receiving £20 per annum for his official appointment as 3His Majesty's Rent collector, his worldly circum- stances were not prosperous, and in 1629 he sold all his moity of the Manor of Shepley, the Hall &c., to John Firth of Cumberworth.

Page 48

native of Wakefield, and the son of William Briggs, and was beptized at the parish church there on March 25th, 1639. At the age of 14, he was admitted a sizar of Magdalen College, Cambridge. He took his B.A. degree in 1658, and then became Curate to the Rev. Henry Robinson, Rector of Swillington, who had previously been Vicar of Leeds (see No. 2890.) During the time of his residence at Swillington, Mr. Brig married Grace, the daughter of his Rector; their eldest son Henry was 1 at Kirkburton, four months after their removal here. Mr. Briggs character can be learnt from the account given of him by Dr. Morehouse ; his dislike to those who thought differently to himself in religious matters was so great, that in a Sermon preached at Kirkburton in 1675, he advises his " well-beloved people, the members of the parish of Kirk burton, to use coercive measures against false teachers and schisunatics." The names of Richard Batty, Thomas Roberts, Thomas Ellis, John Marsh, Michael Howgate and Gervase Kay, all of Kirkburton parish, have been found amongst those who about this time were persecuted and imprisoned for belonging to the Society of Friends. Mr. Briggs' own discomfiture in 1687 should be noted, when James II issued his " Declaration " granting liberty of conscience to his subjects ; and unable to follow his monarch in this line, he is reported in his sermons to have used several seditious expressions against the government of the king. " For this offence, the Ecclesiastical Commissioners decreed that Mr. Briggs should be suspended from his function as vicar until further orders, requiring him to abstain from preaching, &c. His suspension was read and published in Kirkburton Church and in Holmfirth Chapel, on October 16, 1687. Mr. Briggs afterwards acknowledged his fault, and was thereupon released from his suspension, and restored to his benefice." It was during these years 1672- 1688, that Mr. Edmund Robinson was his Curate (see No. 5749.) Mr. Briggs' good business habits can be seen in the exactitude with which he drew up his Terriers, and his ' Declarations for Memoryes Sake.' After a long vicariate of 65 years, he died here on July 25th 1727, aged 88.

He was brother to the wife of the Vicar of Kirkburton, and was one of the sons of the Rev. Henry Robinson, who was Vicar of Leeds from 1632 to 1643, and afterwards Rector of Swillington. It was just about thirty years before this time that his father bad had to swim the river Aire to escape from Sir Themas Fairfax and his Parlia- mentarian soldiers when they touk Leeds on January 23, 1644. His grandfather was Alexander Robinson, merchant of Leeds, and his grandmother was Grace, sister to John Harrison, the great benefactor of Leeds. - His brother Henry built aud endowed Holy Trinity Church, Boar Lane, Leeds. By the ' Declaration for Memoryes Sake' made by Mr. Joseph Briggs in 1709 it appears that this brother Henry had already given him £40 for the benefit of Kirkburton, and by his Will, administered in 1736, he left an additional £100 to the Kirkburton School, in remembrance, one may suppose, of his brother} Thomas having been buried here 63 years before, and that his sister Grace was the wife of the Vicar here for 33 years,-from 1662 to her death in 1695.

"Mr. Swift of Peniston preacht at Hulmfirth for Mr. Savil minister there when he was sick, and upon Sabboth 8 Aug. 1682 Mr. Brigs ordered a citation to be read agt Mr. Swift for baptizing a child without crosse, and churching a woman in the pulpit Mr. Savil read it at Hulmfirth." According to a note by the Editor of Capt., Adam Eyre's Diary, "The Saviles had owned the estate at Wath upon Dearne from a very remote period, till Henry Savile of that place, who married Hester, daughter of Sir Edward Ayscough of Kelsey, K., having an only child, a daughter, married to Richard Tolson, of Bridebirk, esq., her issue succeeded to it. William Savile, of Shaley in Holmfirth (mentioned in Adam Eyre's Diary) was undoubtedly of the same family, and what renders the supposition probable is, that Henry Savile had a sister Margaret who married Thomas Fulwood of Doncaster, who acquired, by his wife, the farm at Shaley which was occupied by William Savile until his removal to Wath in 1647." Henry Savile of Wath was brother to the famous Sir John Savile who fought on the Parliamentarian side during the Civil Wars ; and who, afterwards, during the commonwealth time, as a Justice of the Peace, took an active part in the business of the Quarter Sessions and local matters, frequently attending to perform the marriage ceremony at Wakefield and in adjoining parishes, as may be seen by some of the early marriages in this volume. Sir John Savile died in 1660, when his eldest son Thomas was only twelve years old, and, during his minority, the Rectorial Manor Courts were held by Richard Tolson, Esq. his cousin by marriage The interest of the Savile family in the Graveship of Holme

It was the largest and most ancient mansion in Chapel Town consisting of about 60 rooms, with gardens and pleasure grounds. The Kitchingman family, for upwards of 400 years, were carried from this hall by torch-light, to be interred in the choir of Peter's Church. (the parish church) in Leeds ; at the interment of any of this family, the great chandelier, consisting of 36 branches, was always lighted. In the year 1716, Mr. Robert Kitchingman died, May 74", aged 100 years. He ordered his body to be buried with torch lights, at Chapel Allerton ; he was interred on the 15" May ; when 100 torches were carried, the room where the body was laid was hung with black, and a velvet pall, with escutcheons, was borne by the chief gentry ; the pall bearers had all scarves, biscuits, and sack ; the whole company had gloves. £50 was given among the poor, in the chapel yard, on the day of his interment. Mary, his wife, died the same year, on July 28th 1716, aged 97 years (21 years after the death of her niece, Mrs. Briggs) She was interred precisely in the same way. She was the daughter of Alexander Robinson, merchant, of Leeds, and of Grace, his wife, sister of the illustrious Harrison. When Sir Thomas Fairfax took Leeds, Henry Robinson, Vicar of Leeds, and brother of Mary Kitchingman, fled to this house, after having narrowly escaped with his life, in crossing the river Aire below St. Peter's Chureh He afterwards made his escape to Methley. _ Mr. Harrison, the benefactor, spent the summer of 1645 here, when the plague raged in Leeds."

There is no baptism of this Matthew Addy in the Kirkburton Registers,. The only name yet unaccounted for is that of Uriah Addy, baptized in 1783, son of Thomas Addy, by his first marriage. Matthew Addy died at Townend, and was buried at

Holmfirth in April, 1780, leaving four sons, John, Joseph, Matthew, and Daniel ; and

two daughters, Mally and Sarah. The marriage of John, the eldest son, is not in Kirkburton Registers, but Matthew

son of John Addy, of Holmfirth, was baptized at Holmfirth, 24 December, 1780. John Addy of Townend in Woldale, was buried 20 June, 1781. Joseph Addy, the second son, baptised in 1757, married Sarah Eastwood in 1780 ; the witnesses present were John Gledhill and Joseph Coldwell.

Joseph Addy of Shelley married Sarah Haigh of Foster place in Hepworth in 1792. This Joseph Addy may be the third son of Joseph Addy and Sarah Lee, baptised from Hollinghouse in Fulston in 1745, before his parents removed to Shepley. < He must nave been 47 years of age at the time of this marriage. He had a daughter Mary baptised from Louks house in Repworth in 1794.

8. AINLEY, Ainsley, Ayneley, Andeley.

This is a name which appears to have had many variations. In Biographic Halifaziensis, compiled by J. Horsfall Turner, in the account of lands belonging to Religious Houses, it is said that " Burton, in his Monasticon Eboracence, says, 'That Abulay-grange, in the chapelry of Eland, in Halifax garish, belonged to the Abbey of Fountains ; and that on 12 July, 1479, 18 Ed. IV. Thomas de Swinton, the Abbot thereof, granted it to John Nesfield, Prior of Nostel, for life.' This Abulay I take to be what is now called Aneley, contracted from Avenley ; and in the Ledger Book of Fountains, under the title of Yeland, it was said, 'That by an indenture, 14 Fd. IV., the Grange of Ainley, in the chapelry of Eland, was divided equally between John Savile, of Hullenedge, esq.; and William, son of Robert Wilkinson, by Sir John Savile, knt., and Thomas Savile, eeq., his son.' This, I apprehend, is mentioned again by Burton, under the name of Awndelay, when he says, ' Roger de Thornton gave all his land and wood in this town, he also gave eight acres, called Eleis juxta aquam, with lands in Kildeker and Pihe!, and common pasture in Eland, with necessary wood for their own burning and building ; which were confirmed to them by Gilbert de Whetelay, and Alicia his wife, relict of Roger de Thornton. -William de Horbury gave what he had here, except the chapel.-Thomas, son of William de Horbury, confirmed what Roger de Thornton gave, granting also a free passage through his fee everywhere. -Hugh de Eland gave ten acres here in Blacklau, lying between Haghebrock and Horsecroft, in Amnendelay-flat.' With regard to the gift of Roger de Thornton, under the title of Eland, it is said, 'That in Hilary term, 32 Edward I., 1803, it was commanded by the Sheriff that he should cause the Abbot of Fountains to acknow- ledge by what services he held his tenements of Thomas de Thornton, in Eland, which services the said 'I'homas had granted to Hugh de Eland, by fine, &c. And the said Abbot said, that he held one carucate of land, and twenty acres of wood, with the appurtenances, in the aforesaid village of Eland, by fealty, and the service of twelve- pence by the year for all service, by a certain charter of one Roger de Thornton, an- cestor of the foresaid Thomas. The confirming charter by his widow is now given. 'Omnibus sancte matris Ecclesie filiis presentibus et futuris Alicia quondam uxor Rogeri de Thornton salutem. Sciatis me in viduitate et legittima potestate mea concessisse relaxasse et presenti carte mea quietum clamasse de me et heredibus meis imperpetuum Deo et Monachis Ecclesie Sancte Marie de Fontibus totum jus et clameum quod unquam habui aut habere potui nomine dotis jure hereditario aut aliquo modo alio in omnibus terris possessionibus redditibus et rebus aliis que fuerunt quondam Rogeri de Thorneton viri mei in villa et territorio de Eland.

(Nicholas de Handelon may possibly be the ancestor of Nicholas de Audley or Andley, the owner of Haworth and Oxenhope and Bradford Manor in 1316.) In Hopkinson's MSS. is the following entry.

In a Deed at Fixby, dated in 1255, being an Agreement between John, son of Hen. de Fekisby, and Hugh, son of Thomas, of the same place, concerning Hannerode, in Rastrick, this is said to lie 'inter fossam Abbatis de Fontibus ex parte aquilonms, et torram Elene et Ysabele ex parte Australi.' And in another Deed, at the same place, without date, is mention made of the ' Boscus Fratum de Fontibus in Rastrick. This Wood is also mentioned in another Deed at Fixby, dated 5 Edw. III by the name of ' Boscus Monachorum.' A Deed at Okes in Rishworth imports that Walter de Frith granted to John his son a moyety of his land in 4Arnaldelyes, and a moyety of the land which he bought of Thomas de Thornton, lying within Boynley (Bottomley), and Barkeslond, &c. There is no date to this deed, but amongst the witnesses are Hugh de Eland, Hen. de Risseworth, and Tho. de Coppeley, all of whom I fird about the year 1287." . ln the above extracts, this name has bean spelt differently in at least ten ways, viz., Abulay, Aneley, Avenley, Ainley, Awndelay, Amendelay (probably a clerical error for Annendelay), Alnaldlay, Awnlei, Aunley, Annundeley, and Arnaldelyes ; and it is of great interest to notes how the descendants or dependents of William and Thomas of Horbury, and of the Thorntons, brought these various variations of the name when they migrated to their Chief's lands in Golcar, Almondbury, Horbury, and other adjacent places. ' In the disturbed times, in the early part of the 14th century, when Thomasjls‘9r1 of Lancaster, (the inheritor of the great De Laci possessions,-Blackburnshire, which meant all mid-Lancashire; and in Yorkshire, the Honor of Pontefract, which included the manors of Meltham, Almondbury, Huddersfield, &0.) -and John, Earl de Warren and Surrey, Lord of the Manor of Wakefield, kinsmen to each other, as “tell - as each being akin to the King of England,-when theses two wera at enmity with each other, and the minor lords in the county were taking one side or the other,- at this time, there was a Huzkh D'Annedelay, who was also related to the King of England, by having married the King's niece, a daughter of Gilbert de Clare. This Hugh D'Aunedelay sided with the Earl of Lancaster. In 1319 and the three following years, the King, Edward II, and his Queen Isabells, held their Court in York, and with them were the Earls of Lancaster and de Warren, Hugh D'Annedelay, and other great lords of the nation. By 1321, the Earl of Lancaster was in open rebellion against his sovereign, and Hugh de Annedelay was already suffering for his partizanship with the Earl, for he lost his appointment as Sheriff of the County of Rutland, and Custodian of the Castle of Oakham.

Then King Edward, at the motion of the Dispensars, banishid John Mountbray, Roger Clifford, Gosseline Dainville, and dyvers other. And after the Barons caullid by brief to a Parlament cam with 3 Battayles yn ordre, having ten colourid Bandes on theye Sleeves, wherefore it was caullid the Parlement de le Bende.

After this Thomas Lancastre and the Barons counselid together in Blake Freres in Poutfracte, and the Barons concluded to go to Dunstan- bury, a Castel of Thomas of Lancastres in Northumberland. . . . Then Thomas Lancastre aforce grauntid, and went with them, having yn Company vii c. Menne, to Borowbridge. To Borowbridge came Syr Andrew de Harkeley, Warden of Cairluel and that Marches, and Syr Simon Warde to encountre with the Barons. . . . Then Harkeley, whom Thomas of Lancastre had afore tyme made Knight, made his Archiers to shote, and so did the Barons upon the bridge. And then was the renoumid Knight through oute al Christentye, Humfrede de Boun, killed, and Syr Roger Clifford was sore wonded on the hedde. And Syr William Sully, and Syr Roger Bernefeld was slayne. And then wente Thomas Lancastre into a Chapel, deny- ing to rendre hym self to Harkeley, and said, looking on the Crucifix, ' Good Lord, I render my self to the, and put me yn to thy Mercy.' , ** Then they toke of his Cote Armures, and put on hym a Ray Cote, or Goune, one of his Mennes Lyveryes, and caried hym by Water to York, were they threw Balles of Dyrte at hym-(the King's cousin !)

" Never since the Norman Conquest had the scaffolds been drenched with so much noble English blood as on this occasion." Hugh de Andeley, whose life was spared because he had married the King's niece, was also connected with the chief Yorkshire, and, especially, the West Riding families of that time. In 1300. Ralph Fitz William, Lord of Grimthorpe, was fighting under the banner of Heury de Laci, Earl of Lincoln, and Lord of Pontefract, Almondbury, &c., at the siege of the Castle of Caerlaverock. Robert, eldest surviving son of Ralph Fitz William, was forty years old when he succeeded his father in 1316. He married Elizabeth, daughter of Ralph Neville of Scotton in Lincolnshire. He died within a year after the death of his father and was succeeded by his eldest son Ralph, who was seventeen years old when his father died. He sat in Parliament, 1820-3, by the name of Ralph de Greystock, co. Cumberland. Hemarried Alice, daughter of Hugh, Lord Audley (Andle Q) by virtue of a special dispensation from the Pope, they being

within the 3rd and 4th degrees of consanguinity. He died in 1323, it is supposed by poison, at the very early age of twenty-five, leaving William, his son aud heir, only

three years old. His widow had Grimthorpe assigned to her as part of her dower ; she afterwards married Ralph, Lord Neville of Raby. - She will probably have been sister to the Hugh D'Annedelay, junior, who had been Sheriff of Rutlandshire, and who married one of the daughters of Gilbert de Clare. __ In 1344, amongst the Fines in the Treasury, 18 Ed. III, it is recorded that John de Bella aqua, Isabell his wife, John de Annesley, Kt. and Robert de Annesley were negotiating about lands in Campsale and Moseley. Campeale adjoins Burgh Walleis, the seat of the Walleis family, Lords of Honley, &c. Robert de Hanneluy and Anota his wife were living at Thrybergh in 1379 (Poll Tax). William de Quarmby, who made his will in 1384, and who was buried at Nostell Priory, married Agnes, daughter and heiress of W illiam Preston of Preston J acklin, a village two miles south-west of Pontefract ; they were living at Preston Jakelyn in 1379, and she had the manor of Quarmby as "ber jointure. - Their only child, Joan married Hugh de Annesley, but she died without issue in 1386. Hugh de Annesley married, secondly, a daughter of William Fitz William of Emley, (a village three miles north-west of Kirkburton), by whom he left a son, whose daughter and heiress married Sir George Chaworth, who was related to the Byrons of Huddersfield. Annesley in Nottinghamshire still belon to the Chaworths, and is about two miles from Newstead Abbey, the home of the Byrons after they left Huddersfield. In 1401, probate was taken on the will of Hugh de Annesley, Kt., who was buried at Flowforth and, in 1486, on Hugh Annesley of Rodington, Notts, Esq. The various items composing the history of this family are gathered from the Yorks. Arch,. Society's Journals and Records ; Hunter's Hallamshire ; J. Horsfall Turner's Works and Compilations ; Foster's West Riding Families, &c. The Yorkshire families connected with the Andeleys, or Annesleys, are those of Bella Aqua, Rayneville, Mounteney, Furnival, de Lovetot, Despencer, Aldborough, de Insula or de Lisle, Mowbray, Clarell, Gascmgne, Stapllbon, Wentworth, Fitz Wil- liam, Neville, Wallem, Hopton, Quarmby, Beaumont, Wortley, Elland, and Horbury.

APPENDIX. 1X.

The pedigree of the Wentworth Family given in volume vi. of the YorksAkire Archeological Journal, makes clear many of the relationships of these Yorkshire families. The Despencers, the noted favourites of Edward II., were connected with the Andeleys by the marriage of Hugh Despencer, junior, to Eleanor, sister to Margaret, the wife of Hugh de Andeley, junior, both being daughters of Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Gloucester, by his wife Joanna, sister to Edward II. . The Despencers must have been, for some generations, in the country round about Huddersfield, for s Hugh Dispencer, ante 1211, signs several Deeds concerning Huddersfield. The'relationship to the other great Yorkshire families came through Maud, daughter of Walter Fitz-Robert of the noble house of Clare, who married William de Lovetot,' the second Lord of Hallamshire, whose daughter Maud married Gerard de Furnival. . - Adam de Rayneville had Jordan de Rayneville, lord of the Manor of Cowley, near Sheffield ; this Jordan had two daughters, Aliena who married Thomas de Bella Aqua; and Margaret, the eldest daughter, who married Sir Robert de Mounteney, the son of Arnold de Mounteney by a daughter of Gerard de Furnival and Maud de Lovetot. Thomas, Lord Furnival, great-grandson of the above Gerard de Furnival and Maud de Lovetot, married, for his first wife, Joan, daughter of Hugh Le Despencer, senior ; their grandson Thomas, Lord Furnival, born 1321, dead in 1366, married Joan, daughter of Sir Thomas de Mounteney, Lord of Swinton, Scoles, Cowley, Shiercliffe, &c. Roger de Mowbray, about 1154, married Alice de Gant, the widow of Iibert de Laci, the great Lord of Pontefract, of Almondbury, Meltham, &c. Alice de Gant was descended from Gilbert de Gant, son of Baldwin, Earl of Flanders, whose sister Matilda was the wife of William the Conqueror. Her two husbands, Ilbert de Laci and Roger de Mowbray, had taken part in the great battle of the Standard near North Allerton in 1138, when the northern-Barons defeated David, King of Scotland ; whose son Henry married Ada, daughter of William, Earl de Warren, Lord of Wakefield, of Kirkburton, &c. This fact is mentioned to show how near these great Barons stood to the Royal families of England and Scotland. Roger de Mowbray's grandson, William, married Agnes, daughter of the Earl of Arundel, whose descend- ants became and still remain Lords of Hallamshire. Roger, son of William de Mowbray, of full age in 1240, married a grand-daughter of Gerard de Furnival and Maud de Lovetot, Lady of Hallamshire, and had a son Roger, who married Rose, sister of Gilbert, Earl of Clare, aunt to the wife of Hugh de Andeley, junior. John de Mowbray, grandson of Roger de Mowbray and Rose de - Clare, married the Lady Joan Plantaganet, daughter of Henry, Earl of Lancaster, by Maud Chaworth. John de Mowbray died in 1361. His father, John de Mowbray, took the side of Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, was taken prisoner after the Battle of Boroughbridge, and was hanged at York, notwithstanding his relationship to the House of Clare-the plea which saved the life of Hugh de Andeley. Margaret, the wife of Sir Hugh de Andeley, was the widow of Gaveston, the former favourite of Edward II.. and it is said to have been through her intercession and influence that her second husband's life was spared, though he was kept in prison at Nottingham for some years. Iu a document which is said to be co-eval with the Battle of Boroughbridge, March, 1322, in a list of 138 Barons and Knights who were " against the King," is the name of "Sire Hag. Dandele le fiz." To his wife's first husband, Gaveston, Edward II. had given the castle, town and manor of Knaresborough, and also the manors of Roecliffe and Aldborough. It was, therefore, quite a reversement for Sir Hugh de Andeley to have had, in 1321, to give up his honourable appoint- ments to Ivo de Aldeburgh. The Fitz-Williams of Emley were said to be descendants of W® Fitz Godric, cousin to King Edward the Confessor. It is known, by the Domesday Survey, that this King, as Lord of the Manor of Wakefield, owned upwards of 400 acres in the township of Kirkburton ; and it is not all unlikely that a kinsman of the King might have been living and owning land in the neighbouring township of Emley. These Anglo-Saxon Earls had almost regal dignity ; according to their Seals, they bore the sword of authority, and also wore a diadem.

X. APPENDIX.

Hunter's pedigree of the lords of Hallamshire and of the Earls of whose dominion extended from the Humber to the Roman Wall-shows some of the Royal alliances made by these great Chieftains. Earl Uchtred married Elfgml. daughter of Ethelred the Unread and by her, had Adulph, Aldred, and Gospatrick who was the ancestor of the Navlfles of Rab , and of Chevet, 4 mxles south of Wake field. Aldred had a daughter Aldgitha, mfe of Liulph or Liguiph, from whom descend the Lumleys. Aldred s eldest daughter, Elfrida, became the wxfe of Siward, the great Danish Chieftain, the father of Waltheof, the Earl of Northumbri, Huntingdon, and Northampton, who married the Countess Judith, grand-daughter of the mother of William the Conqueror. Maud, the eldest daughter of Earl Waltheof and of the Countess Judith, married David, King of Scotland, the son of t, the elder sister of Edgar the Atheling, grandson of Edmund Ironsides In 1016, Northumbria and Mercia had been made over to Canute, who in the following year, by the death of Edmund Ironsides, became King of all England. To make his position more secure, he, at this time, married the widowed Queen of Ethelred the Unready, Emma, the daughter of Richard, Duke of Normandy, the grandfather of William the Conqueror. The sister of King Canute was the wife of Earl Ulfr, whose sister was the wife of Earl Godwin, the father of Edith, the Queen of Edward the Confessor. At the time of his death in 1053, Earl Godwin was the most powerful subject in England, as well from being the father-in-law of the King, as also from his two som, Harold and Tostig, being rulers over a large portion of the Kingdom. To Tostig had been given the government of Northumbria, after the death of the great Siward ; and Harold who had been ruler over the counties of Essex, Middlesex, Huntingdon, and Cambridge, and the rest of the ancient kingdom of East Anglia, on his father's death, took Earl Godwin's earldom of Kent, and gave up his own earldom to Alfgar, the son of Leofric, Earl of Mercia. To Tostig's bad management of Northumbria is due the entrance into Yorkshire of an Anglo-Danish family, of whom West Riding Families will always be proud. The people of these parts, in 1065, revolting against Tostig's tyranny, invited to their help the Earls Morcar and Edwin, the sons of Earl Alfgar, the son of Leofric of Mercia, (mid England). These two Earls brought with them men of Lincoln, Nottingham, Derby and Leicester, and also a body of Welsh auxiliaries; their interest with the latter band being that Aldytha, the elder sister of these two Earls, was the widow of Griffith, the Prince of North Wales. Earl Harold was sent by the dying King, Edward the Con- fessor, to quell the insurrection in Northumbria, and on hearing the account of their wrongs from the 200 Thanes who headed the movement, Harold wisely decided, without letting the combatants come to blows, that the earldom should be taken from his brother Tostig, and given to Earl Morcar. King Edward died 5 January, 1065-6, and was succeeded by Harold, who, during his short reign of eight months, wedded Aldytha, the widowed Princess of W ales, the sister of Earls Morcar and Edwin. By her first husband, Prince Griffith, Aldytha had a daughter who married Fleance, the son of Banquo, thane of Lochaber, whose son Walter marrying a daughter of Alan the Red, Earl of Bretagne, became the ancestor of the Stewarts. The young Earls Morcar and Edwin, who were chosen by the people of Northumbria to be their deliverers, were the grandsons of the famous Lady Godiva, who will be renowned for all time for her bravery in having 'the will to do, the soul to dare,' when her subjects at Coventry required freedom from grievous oppression. - This Lady is said to have been a descendant of the former kings of Deira, (Humber to Tees) ; and for her grandsons to have been recalled here, was only to bring them back to their forefathers' possessions. Edwm, the younger, died unmarried ; it is said that, he died, broken-hearted, at the permission being withdrawn, which had once been given, for him to marry a daughter, whose affections he had gained, of Wllham the Conqueror. Edwin's estate of 200 manors and townships, comprising Richmondshire in North Yorkshire, was ultimately given by William the Conqueror to his nephew Alan, Earl of Bretagne. It was the daughter of this Alan Rufus, son of Hoel, Count of Bretagne, who by her husband, Walter, became the ancestor of the Stewarts Earl Morcar, the elder brother, settled in the Royal Manor of Wakefield, and his

immediate descendants, the Peytefins, Mallets, Levitts and Hansons resided at Nor- manton ; and as these families inter-Foarried with other well-known West Riding families, there is scarcely an old family in these parts who could not trace a connection with this renowned Anglo-Danish family ; and who show it, remarkably, in their inheritance of the firm traits of character bequeathed by the brave Lady of Coventry. Iu vol. viii Yorkshire Arch@ological Journal are given the Armorial bearings of the Mallets, Peytefins, Russells and Peverells. Their crest is the Raven, the well-known DanisA crest. There is a note by G. W.T. in vol. v. Yorkshire Archaeological Journal that " there was a church at Normanton at the time of the Domesday Survey, when the lands wert returned as part of the 'Terra Regis.' The dedication, as is not uncommon in churches, is to ' All Saints.'"' This was the case also at Kirkburton. In vol. vi. Yorkshire Archeological Journal is the pedigree of the Wentworths of Wentworth- Woodhouse. - With Sir Hugh de Andeley's ® consanguinity ' to the Nevilles and Fitz- Williams, would come his relationship to the families of Horbuty, Walleys, and to Robert Peytefin, the acknowledegd descendant of Earl Morcar. Sir Hugh de Andeley and Hugh Despencer were brothers-in-law, and also count neighbours. The Despencers had been for some time connected with Huddersfield. A Hugh Despencer, together with Robert Wallensis, signed a Charter concerning land in Huddersfield, between 1179 and 1211. An early connection between Almondbury and Elland, in which parish Andeley was situated, can be seen in an Elland Deed, probably dated before 1320. "John, son of John, son of William de Greteland, grants to John del Clay an acre which his father bought of Adam le Priestman, to wit, seven selions in that furlong which abuts on Spink croft and one selion between the Three-Rood, formerly Richard de Almobyri's, and the Three-Rood of Henry the Miller of Elland, to hold of the Prior of Lewes."

ALLAN, Allen, Alon.

The family of Allan in Kirkburton parish appear to have lived in the township of Cartworth, and their residence there was due, probably, to their connection with the Croslands of Cartworth, who were connected with the Charlesworths of Totties in Woldale who intermarried with the Wilsons of Broomhead Hall near Sheffield. daughter of Richard Charlesworth of Totties, in 1522, married Richard Wilson of Broomhead Hall. Ellen, sister to this Richard Wilson, married John Crosland, by whom she had Richard, William, Jane, Anne, Grace, John, George and Raynold. Jane, another sister of Richard Wilson, was married to Thomas Barber of Welden. These surnames occur amongst the Allans resident in Kirkburton parish. Thomas Allan and his wife were buried at Kirkburton in 1544 and 1549, (Nos. 210 and 583, vol. i) John Birkingshaw and Cecilia Allan were married in 1550.

Martha Allen of the parish of Cawthorne by a licence at Kirkburton. In 1692, Joseph Bever of Sandal] parish married Elizabeth Allen of Wakefield by licence at Kirkburton.

In 1742, John Bever, M.D., married, at Kirkheaton, Mary Beaumont of Whitley Beaumont, the daughter of Richard Beaumont, Esq., who was born at Lascelles Hall in 1670, and who married, in 1700, Susanna, daughter of Thomas Horton of Barkisland. Busan, an elder daughter of Richard and Susanna Beaumont, was married in 1729 to the Rev. Samuel Allen, who became afterwards Rector of Sandbach, co. Chester, but who, for at least the first two years after his marriage. was acting as Curate of Kirk- heaton, (Nos. 4511 and 4831, vol. iii, K.B. Registers). Another daughter, married Francis Watts of Colne Bridge Forge, Kirkheaton, one of the sons of Benjamin

Watts of Barnes Hall near Sheffield (the old residence of the Scott Family); the mother of Francis Watts was Alice, one of the eight daughters of Robert Nettleton of

Thornhill Lees and of Almondbury. The Nettletons were also connected by marriage

with the Horsfalls of Kirkburton parish. In 1700, Mary Wilson of Broomhead Hall, and daughter of the Rev. Charles Wilaon,

Vicar of Sheffield, married Godfrey Crosland of Cartworth in Kirkburton parish In 1715, Thomas Allen of the parish of Thornhill married Aune Hinchcliffe of this parish by licence at Kirkburton. In 1707 is the first notice in these Registers of a John Allen of Brighthill in Cart- worth, who lived in this parish for 39 years. His son William was baptised 9 Feb. 1706-7. In 1713, his son James was baptised in Holmfirth Chapel (being much nearer to their residence than the parish church of Kirkburton). In 1716, the twin daughters, Mary and Martha, were baptised, but were both buried in 1717. In 1719, John son of John Allen of Brighthill in Cartworth was baptised in Holmfirth Chapel. In 1726, Anne Woodhead, widow of Humphrey Woodhead of Netherthong in Almondbury parish, was buried from John Allen's house at Brighthill in Cartworth. (Abraham Woodhead, yeoman, was the Constable in 1724 of Netherthong, called also Meltham- Half.) In 1736, John Allen was residing at Ramsden in Cartworth whence his daughter Hannah was buried. On the 4 Dec. Allen of Ramsden in Cart- worth was buried ; and this is the last entry concerning Allens in the Kirkburton Registers. Bright hill in Cartworth is very near the border line between Kirkburton parish and Holme township in Almondbury parish The land near there rises to 800 feet. It is within a few hundred yards of Ramsden, an adjacent homestead to the east of Bright hill ; and about an equal distance from Greenhouse in Cartworth township, to the north of Bright hill. Yateholme in Austonley is about a quarter of a mile away.

To the south-east of Ramsden, the land rises to 1000 feet. Whether the "John Allen, gent., of y® parish of Sheffield," who, in 1750, married

Susanna, daughter of Mr. Joseph Scott of Woodsome Lees, just off the borders of Kirkburton parish, be any connection of the John Allen baptised in 1719 at Holmfirth Chapel, is a fact yet to be proved. Both Scotts and Allens were of Chapeltown near Sheffield. Joseph Scott, born at Woodsome Lees in 1774, son of Robert Scott who was brother to the above Susanna Allan, married Frances Horsfall of Storthes Hall in Kirkburton parish ; he left Woodsome Lees in 1812, and resided at Badsworth till his death. He was originally in partnership with his cousin, Thomas Allen, the son of the above John Allen and Susanna (Scott), whose daughter Sarah married William Wilson of Sheffield, great grandson of the Rev. Charles Wilson, Vicar of Sheffield. In his accounts of the Founders of the Huddersfield Library, Mr. Tomlinson says, "In the Rev. Mr. Eastwood's History of Ecclesfield, is an account of the Allens, who appear to have sprung from Chapeltown, near Sheffield. The first of the family of whom there is any record is John Allen, who was born in 1656, and died in 1723. His son, Thomas Allen, who died in 1722, was married twice. By his i with Gertrude Stead, his first wife, he had issue Jokn Allen, who, in 1750, married Susanna, daughter of Joseph Scott and his wife Margaret (Rockley, of the ancient

family of Rockleys of Worsboro' Dale). John Allen died in 1794, leaving a son Thomas Allen, who was born in 1752, and who married Martha, daughter of Thomas

and Sarah Haigh, of Gledholt, Mrs. Martha Allen died in 1804, and Mr. Thomas Allan died in 1828 ; they were both buried at Almondbury, and their monument there bears the following inscription:-" Sacred to the memory of Martha, the wife of

APPENDIX. XVI.

Thomas Aller, late of Finthorpe (in Almondbury), but now of Greenhead, and only daughter of Thomas Haigh, Esq., of Gledholt, in the parish of Huddersfield, who departed this life on the 24th day of June, 1804, aged 43 years, leaving issue, viz : Susanna, Sarah, Benjamin Haigh, and John ; with an affectionate husband to lament her loss. Thomas Allen, eldest son of the said Thomas and Martha, died on the 25th day of June, 1788, aged 1 year and nine months. Also the abovenamed Thomas Allen, who departed this life at Gledholt, on the 23rd of May, 1828, aged 76 years.' Mr. Thomas Allen married, secondly, Elizabeth, widow of Thomas West, and sister of Mr. Joseph Haigh of Springwood and Whitwell ; she died in 1841, at the age of 87, and lies buried in Trinity Churchyard. Susanna, the eldest daughter of Thomas and Martha Allen, married Mr. John Haigh, father of the Rev. John Haigh, formerly Incumbent of St. Paul's, Huddersfield. Sarah, the second daughter, married Mr. Junius Smith. Mr. Benjamin Haigh Allen, the eldest surviving son of the above Thomas and Martha Allen, married Miss Sarah Whitacre of Woodhouse, near Huddersfield, who, after her husband's death in 1829, married the Rev. Wyndham Carlion Madden, the first Incumbent of Woodhouse Church. Mr. Benjamin Haigh Allen died at the early age of 36, and though it is now more than 60 years since he passed away, his name is still a ' household word ' in Huddersfield and all the country round. The Leeds Mercury, in giving an account of his funeral on 23 May, 1829, says, 'The manifestation of public respect paid to the memory of this amiable man has seldom been equalled in this country on the death of any individual in any rank or station of life, nor has there been any individual more worthy of it. The urbanity of his manners, the suavity of his temper, the benevolence of his heart, and the undeviating uprightness of his conduct as a civil magistrate, had endeared him to all who knew him. His remains were interred in Trinity Church, Huddersfield, which he had built aud endowed when quite a young man.' Mr. Benjamin Haigh Allen left 2 sons and 3 daughters ; the eldest son, bearing the same honored name as his father, resided in Herefordshire. He married Miss M. M. Champneys, one of the daughters of the Rev. H. W. Champneys, Rector of Badsworth, and cousin of the Earl of Derby." By another daughter, the Rev. H. W. Champneys was grandfather to the Rev. Evelyn Gisborne Hodgson, whose name appears in the Kirkburton Registers of 1886 as in charge of this parish during the illness and absence from home of the present Vicar. " Mr. John Whitacre Allen of Cheltenham, the second son of Mr. Benjamin Haigh Allen, married Miss Eliza Whiteside, daughter of the late Dr. Whiteside, Vicar of Scarborough, and niece of the Lord Chief Justice of Ireland." Mr. John Allen of Gledholt, the second son of Thomas and Martha Allen, married Miss Sarah Brooke, daughter of the late William Brooke, Esq., of Honley, whose fore- fathers lived in Kirkburton parish. Mr. John Allen died in 1830, aged 35 ; his widow, whose numerous charitable deeds to the Church and Clergy are affectionately remem- bered, survived till 22 Dec. 1884, when she passed away at the ago of 81. The only surviving issue of the marriage of Mr. John Allen and Miss Sarah Brooke is their son, Mr. Thomas Allen of Westfield, Huddersfield, who carries on the work of quiet deeds of philanthropy. 'The connection already noticed of the Sheffield family of Barber with the Allen family is seen also in the pedigree of the Saunderson family given in Hunter's Hallam- shire. Robert Saunderson of the Yews, in the parish of Maltby (12 miles N.E. of

Sheffield), married a daughter of . . . . Micklethwaite of Penistone, and by her had, with others, Christopher Saunderson of Stirap in the parish of Blythe, who married Dyonisia, daughter of . . . . Barber of Rowlee, and by her had three sons,

Nicholas and Robert, twins, and John Saunderson of Grimesthorpe (2 miles N.E. of Sheffield), who married, in 1588, Jennet Hudson. Robert Saunderson of Sheffield, Gilthwaite and Blythe, gent., the younger of the twin brothers, married Elizabeth, daughter of Robert Carr of Butterthwaite in the parish of Ecclesfield, and by her had two sons, William and Robert, and a daughter Elizabeth, who married, in 1607, Leonard Gill of Norton, gent. Robert, the younger son, born at Sheffield 19 Sept. 1587, was consecrated Bishop of Lincoln on 28 Oct. 1660. William Saunderson of

son of Robert Allott and Johanna (Charlesworth of Totties in Woldale township, Kirkburton parish.) As the connection of the Allotts with Kirkburton was due chiefly to the above marriage which brought with it the tenancy of the Soke mills in Holm- firth, the description of this property is now given from Dr. Morehouse's History of Kirkburton. Strokes Murs. " A characteristic of a feudal age was the Soke Mill, which, however, is here only matter of history. From MS. evidences it appears that a water corn mill existed at Holmfirth in the reign of Edward II., which had probably been established at a much earlier period ; having doubtless been erected by one of the Earls Warren, for the benefit of his tenants within the Graveship, and at whick they were required to grind their corn. When the population had considerably in- creased, the Lord of the Manor built an additional Mill at a place about a mile and a half to the east of Holmfirth, on a tributary stream of the fiver Holme; and, in contradistinction to the old, or Holmfirth Mill, was called New Mill, a name stall re- tained by that Igopuloua village. In 1398, 23 Re. 11. Roger del Morehouse farmed the Mills of Holme and tolls &c. of the Lord of the Manor of Wakefield, at the annual rent of 8s. 4d. This certainly could not be considered equivalent to their value. There is little doubt that a certain sum, or bouus, had been paid on entering upon the contract for a term of years. subject to a small annual rent. I have met with no other reference to these Mills till the reign of Edward VJ., when Richard Charlesworth of Totties farmed them under the Crown, by which he greatly enriched himself. He died in 1557, leaving four daughters, co-heiresses, who married into some of the leading families of the West- Riding, viz :-1lst, Margaret Charlesworth married, first, Thomas Nettleton, and, . secondly, George Kaye of Woodsome, Esquire. 2nd, Johanna Charlesworth married Robert Allott, of Bentley Grange, son and heir of Robert Allott of the same place, who besides lands and tenements in Holmfirth, which he received by his wife, acquired the terancy of the Soke Mills, which remained with him till his death in 1605. 3rd, Grace Charlesworth married John Savile, of Wath, Gent., in 1568. 4th, Charlesworth married Matthew Wentworth of Bretton Hall, Esq., in 1571. In 18609, four years after the death of Robert Allott, King James I, as Lord of the Manor of Wakefield, granted by letters patent, dated 29 May, to Edward Ferrers of London, mercer, and Francis Phelips of London, gent., their heirs and assigns for ever, along with other property, "all that moiety of our two water corn Mills of Holmfirth, in our said county of York, together with all thereto belonging, situate, lying, and being in Holmfirth aforesaid, under the demesne of Wakefield aforesaid ; and all that moiety of all the water-courses, streams, banks, standing water, fish- ols, fisheries, profits, advantages, and emoluments whatsoever, &c. The said award Ferrers and Francis Phelips to hold the same in as full, free and ample a manner and form as we or our ancestors or predecessors, formerly Kings or Queens of England, have held or enjoyed the same with our Duchy of Lancaster. To hold the same of our heirs and successors as of our Manor of Enfield, in our County of Middesex, by suit fealty in free and common soccage, and not in capite nor by military service ; to render and pay yearly to us, and our heirs and successors, the sum of two pounds, five shillings, and tenpence each, into the hands of the General Receiver of the Duchy of Lancaster, &c.-at the Feast of St. Michael the Archangel and the Annunciation of the B.V.M." On the 24th August, 1609, the said Edward Ferrers and the said Francis Phelips sold the same in fee to Bartyn Allott of Bentley, co. York., yeoman, the third son of Robert Allott aforesaid. About the time when the Crown granted off these Milla, the Soke was becoming an odious impost to the inhabitants. But the two Soke Mills had, in process of time, led to a division of the custom-the inhabitants resorting to the one most suiting their convenience. The earliest attempt at combination to resist the Soke appears to have been in 1624, but that had reference only to the Newmill valley, and seems to have manifested itself in the somewhat irritating course of diverting the springs and rivulets from their ancient course over the adjacent lands, ostensibly for irrigating purposes, by which, in the drier seasons, they occasioned ' the water to be so spent that the New Mill was so destitute of water, as not to be able to grinde anie corne at all, if the several springs continued to be diverted from their ancient course.' The plaintiff contended for the exclusive right of the water, and held

Page 319

APPENDIX. XXVI.

that the owners of property along these streams had no right to erect any Mills, or dam up, or impound the water, In 1653, a more general combination was entered into by the inhabitants of the Graveship, as indicated by the following records -' Wednesday, 6 July, 1653. Richard Allott, Gent., plaintiff v. William Tinker, Edward Beever and John Charles- worth, defendants. By the Rt. Honble. the Chancellor and Councell of the Dutchie of Lancaster sittinge at Whitehall. Whereas the plaintiff exhibited his case into this Courte, thereby settinge forth that King James being seized in fee of two water corne Mills in Holmefirth, being a Graveship within the Manor of Wakefield, known as Holmefirth Mill and New Mill, granted the same to several persons and tneir heirs, from whom by good conveyances and by descent, the said Mills are come to the plaintiff . . . that the freeholders and copieholders have for the like tyme used and been accustomed to grind all their corne and graine at the said Mills ; not only that which growes upon their grounds, but such also as is brought and spent und used in their houses within the said Graveship, payinge the accustomed and reason- able toll then used. And the bill complaynes that the defendants and others, being freeholders and copieholders within the said Graveship, have ground their mault and other graine at other Mills, to the disabling the plaintiff from paying his fee-farm rent.' . . . These efforts to free themselves appear not to have been successful, since in the reign of James II. another attempt was made to rid themselves of the Soke, which was becoming euch year more obnoxious,. The owners of the Soke had diverted a small rivulet from its ancient course into the Newmill dam, over lands belonging to John and William Brooke of Greenhill Bank, on payment of an annual rent. The inhabitants now agreed with the owners of this property to restore the stream to its ancient course, by which, as it was stated, ' one-fourth part of the water is cut off." It had before been stated in evidence that when the other springs and rivulets were being diverted, the miller was only able to grind 'a met of wheat, four sacks of oates, twelve sacks of mault, in twenty-four hours ;' it was now significantly asked, ' what will it now grind when one-fourth part of the ordinary stream is diverted " Ultimately, in the time of the grandson of the above Richard Allott, between 1728 and 1773, the Rev. Bryan Allott, Rector of Kirkheaton, for peace' sake, gave up contesting the claim of the inhabitants to grind their corn elsewhere than at the Soke Mills. He seems to have been a man of a genial temper and kind disposition, and is stated to have lived much beloved by his friends, among whom was Garrick, who wrote these beautiful lines to be inscribed on his tomb :-

" More with the love than with the fear of God, This vale of sorrows cheerfully ke trod, So tuned to harmony and hating strife, From youth to age unclouded was his life ; Nought could his earthly virtuous joys increase But heavenly song and everlasting perce." 1655, 24 Oct.

1724, John Alou of Crigglestone possessed Nether Hall in Horbury. This house formerly belonged to the family of Binns. . 1731, 14 July, Mr. Edward Allott of Crigglestone buried; he married Rebecca Swallow in 1677. 1734, 16 Aug. John Hobson's Diary. " Old Mrs. Hall of Wosperdale (Wors- torough), dead at her son's-in-law, Mr. Allott's, She was sister to Mr. John Green of Elmhirst (in Cawthorn). His estate was divided among his five sisters ; one married Robert Smith of Dein Hill ; one to Mr. Abraham Firth of Clough House ; one to Matthew Littlewood of Hill House, nigh Cawthorn ; one to Mr. Laycock, a clergyman born at Wooley ; and one to Mfr. Allott of Leudin, Wosperdale, afterwards to Mr. Hall of Swaith." This 'old Mrs. Hall' was the Sarah Greene of Cawthorn married, in 1687, at Kirkburton, to Robert Allott of Darfield, the parish in which Lewdine and Worsborough are situated. The Rev. Robert Allott, Vicar of South Kirkby, married Frances, the daughter of Francis Hall of Swaith, and his wife Sarah, (the widow of Robert Allott, and the sister of Mr. John Green.) 1736, 5 April, died Mr. James Haigh of Fenay, Almondbury ; he married Anne, daughter of Bartin Allott of Bilbham Grange, by bis wife Mary, daughter of John Peebles of Dewsbury. 1736, 22 Dec., The Rev.

Banks' Walks about Wakefield in 1871. "The chancel of South Kirkby Church is the burial place of the Allott family from the time of their coming to South Kirkby down to a few years ago, and their monuments are upon the walls Mr. George Allott, Vicar, at the time of my early visits and down to April, 1870, died on the 23rd of that month, but his remains were laid to rest in the church yard, and not in the chancel . . . It appears from Hunter's South Yorkshire that the Rectory of South Kirkby was bought by the Armytages of Kirklees ; the Armytage interest was sold before 1736 to a Swallow ; and through the marriage of a Rebecca Swallow with Edicard Allott of Crigglestone it passed to the Allotts who still hold it. The parish Registers at South Kirkby begin 2nd January, 1620-1. - The first entry of Allott I have found in the parish Register is on 5th Feb., 1711, when Rebecca, daughter of Mr. Grorge Allott of South Kirkby was baptised. After this, down to our time, the surname often occurs in the registers. . . . Going from South Kirkby by way of Hemsworth we pass the well situated and picturesque Hague Hall, or East Hague, in the time of the register successively occupied by the Birkheads, Watsons and Allotts, a house which Mr. Hunter thinks first became a residence of gentry when a Tempest came to it. Oue of this name, a possessor of lands in Hemsworth, married a Methley, and a second son of the marriage, Richard, father to Cotton, became seated here. Alice Birkhead, Nathaniel's daughter, widow of Edmund Rogers, married Edmund Watson, who thereupon went to live at Hague. He subsequently married, as bis second wife, a daughter of Wood of Monk Bretton, and in 1726, Grace Watson, uue of this family, was married to the Rev. Henry Green, who thus became owner of the estate. - Their only daughter married James AUlo#, to whom Hague thereby went. . .- Io Sandal Church are many monuments placed on the wall and the floor- in the north transept to Pilkingtons ; in the chancel to the Zouches, including the well-known Doctor, who died in 1815; to Woods of Sandal and Woodthorpe, Westmorlands, A/oits, Gills of Kettlethorpe, stated to be of the Gills of Carrhouse ;

Vaughans and Nortons of Kettlethorpe-the last three being connected by marriages Perhaps the most interesting tablet in the chuncel is that to William Hardcastle, formerly of Laverton and afterwards of Miluthorp, gentleman, who was buried there 1st Oct. 1696." 1616 ; and also the marriage of William Hardcastle to Grace Allott, the daughter of Bartin Allott and Grace (Binns) . . . " The Sandal parish Registers begin Oct. 1652 ; entries of from 1666. Thenameof Kettlethorp occurs from the first." - {Note the marriage of Beatrix Allott to Anthony Norton of Chapelthorpe.) " Many entries relative to the Arthingtons of Milnthborp occur in and after 1655, the name of Mr. Cyril Arthington being the chief name from 26th Feb. in that year, when his daughter Dorothy was baptised, until 16 March. 1672, when he was buried. . . The pedigree of the Arthingtouns of Arthington to which the Milnthorpe branch belonged, is given in Thoresby's Ducatus Leodienss where it is said that Cyril Arthington's mother was Mary Nevile of Chevet, and that he married Ann, daughter of Major Binns of Horbury. . . . The Binus family are found named in the Horbury register from the early part of the seventeenth century. In 1687, for instance, occurs the name of Bynnes, gent.' (Note in connection with these names the marriages of Edmund Allott to Bridget, daughter of Thomas Arthington, of Bartin Allott to Grace Binns of Almondbury, which family was a branch of that at Normanton and Horbury as seen in the surrender of land im Almondbury in 1661 to " Thomas Binns of Normanton, Gent., and Mr. Richard Allott of Holmfrth.") . . . In Horbury are many old houses which in som instances retain almost the form originally given to them ; several good old families resided in these houses in days past ; . . . here lived the Binneses, a family of gentry. Nether Hall was evidently one of the best

houses here ; it has a plaster ceiling, dated 1593. This house was the home of tke Binnes family. The initials and date over the front door Ts. are those of Timothy

1757. Scholefield and Sarah his wife, before marriage Sarah Maude of Horbury, who were married in 1749." (Note marriage of George Allott of Bentley to Mary, daughte: of John Maude of Wakefield, in 1615.) "In 1756. Mr. Timothy Scholefielé purchased part of Nether Hall from Mr. James AUott and his son, and then put up his own and his wife's initials . . . High Hoyland is a notable object from every elevated point about Wakefield. The Ordnance Map gives the height 713 feet above the level of the sea. Hoyland has wide prospects. The church stands on the summit of the hill, but, except the tower, which was built in 1679, is a poor modern building. Here are memorials of Francis Burdet, who died 1637, aged 60, and Mar;, only daughter of Ralph Arthington of Milnthorpe, who was buried 20 Dec., 1664. aged 20 ; also inscriptions stating that many generations of Allotts of Bilham Grange ; and Bertan Allott, Esq., who died 28 May, 1701, and Mary his wife and three daughters were buried here." (A special visit was paid to this church and church- yard in August, 1890, to transcribe these inscriptions, but not a single inscription to any family is now to be found inside the church ; possibly since Mr. Banks pami his visit there in 1871, the wood flooring of the pews may have been placed down, and so hidden any lettering on the stone floor. A careful search outside was equally fruitless in discovering any tombstone to the Allott family) . . . " The footway through Bankwood leads to Bentley Grange formerly a possession of Byland Abbey. and afterwards the seat of the Allotts of that place, and thence past Emley Woodhouse, formerly a dwelling of the Copleys, agreeably situated on a height mid- way between Bentley Grange and the church of Emley, which is about eight miles south of Wakefield. Gravestones in the chancel and other parts of the church bear memorials of Allotts of Bentley Grange and Thorncliffe, the oldest of these, and I believe the oldest in the church also, being to Robert Allott, who died 14 Oct. 1605. Under the altar rail, south side, is a slab stating that John Allott died 1 March, 1655; and on the opposite side is the gravestone of Laurence Farington, Rector here from 1617 (perhaps earlier) who died 8 Aug. 1658. It is stated on the stone that he had to wife Ann, daughter of John Allott of Bentley, and by her had John, Richard, and Ann. His coat of arms is cut on the stone, namely, quarterly, 1, three cinquefois ; 2, a chevron between three leopards' faces ; impaling Allott, a fess between four barrulets wavy. His arms show him to have been of the ancient family of Farington

6. Appleyard. .

A family of this name was of much importance in the counties of Norfolk and Lincoln, and an interesting and full account of the pedigree of this family has beer given by Mr. H. W. Aldred in Parts v. and vi. of J. Horsfail Turner's "* Yorks, Notes and Queries." In 1379, the Appleyards of Allerton, near Bradford, and of Almondbury, were living on the Manors owned by the De Lacies, Earls of Lincoln, who were closely connected with the chief landowner in the county of Norfolk. The widow of llbert de Laci of 1138 married Thomas de Mowbray, one of whose descendants was created Duke of Norfolk, 29 September, 1396. So close was the connection between tenants and landlord, that in 1537, when the Will of John Appleyard, of Dunston, in Norfolk, was proved, one of the Executors was " His Grace the Duke of Norfolk." It is not improbable that, as retainers of the great Earls de Laci, some of the Appleyards of East Anglia were brought on to the Manors of the Earls de Laci in the est Riding; and also on to the Yorkshire estates of the Earls de Warren, who owned the Isle of Axholme in Lincolnshire. Sir William Appleyard, who was eleven times Burgess in Parliament, and six times Mayor of Norwich (he having been the first Mayor of that City), died in 1419, leaving, with other issue, Emma, who married Sir Henry Grey, the son of Sir Thomas Grey of Heton, by Jane, sister of Thomas de Mowbray, Duke of Norfolk. The inscription on the tomb of this Sir Henry Grey, in Ketteringham Church has been preserved. " Here lyeth Sir Henry Grey, the son of Sir Thom : Grey, of Heton, and Jane hys wyfe that was systere to the Duke of Norfolk that dyed at Venys (80 Sept. 1400), and Emme the wyfe of the forseyde Henry Grey, the doutyr of Wm. Appleyerde . . . . . on woys Sowles God have mercy." The original Norfolk stock almost ceased to reside in that county after the 16th century ; their chief migrations had been into Lincolnshire, and into the East Riding of Yorkshire. As a connecting link between the Appleyards of the East Riding and of the West, there is the fact that the Appleyarda of Heslington (see 1527), were residing in the samd place as the Yarburghs, who, together with the Kayes of Woodsome Hall, were descended from the old family of Tyas of Almondbury and of Kirkburton.

These two documents are given to show the rapid rise of the Armitage family at the time when the monastic lands had been taken out of mortmain and put into the market for sale to any moneyed purchaser. A great advance in commeraal prosperity was made during the fairly peaceful reigns of the Tudor Sovereigns: and it can be noted by the Sales of land recorded in volumes ii, v, and vn ¢ the Yorks, Record Senes that members of the Armitage, Gregory and Stephen- son families, living between Huddersfield and Doncaster, purchased much land all along the waterway and pack-horse road between Blackstone Edge and Hull, the then chief seaport for the West Riding. "In 1596, the towns of Leeds, Wakefield and Halifax. which traded much to Hull, had to bear a proportionate part of fitting out a stout ship of war, and a Tax was raised for the contribution of four hundred pounds to be made by the Clothiers and inhabitants of the West Riding towards the setting forth of a shl by the inhabitants of York and Hull for Her Majestie's Service." An exactly parallel case to the rise of the Armitage family is that of the Ramedens- once of Ramsden in Cartworth township in Kirkburton parish, and now of Byram and Huddersfield. By being able to purchase land at this time, and by making suitabis marriages, they were soon amongst the chief of the West Kiding families. The second John Armitage of Kirklees married Emmete, daughter of John Gregory, the " merchant prince " of the West Riding. From 1557 when John Stevenson and John Gregory together, bought lands in Redness, Swmefleet, and Goole, there is a constant succession of large purchases of land which fill one with admiration at the commercial enterprise of these early West Riding merchants. A paragraph preserved by J. Horsfall Turner in his Yorks. Bibliographer refers to the first John Armitage. "1574. To Regestre the losse of the smale boate the Swanne of Liv'pole, Wynstanleys ownrs, EAmund Lawrence of Liverpole Master under God, The good marchaunt Mr. John Amdagc of Farneley Tyes in the countrie of Yorcke alias Clothier unth his riche stocke from Liv to Knocfargus and other partes, gentelman . . .

(Farnley Tyas Church is within sight of the Vicarage wherein this family hmtory is being written.) The land in Shepley township, Kirkburton parish, mentioned in these two docu- ments, was held of Thomas Waterton, Esq., the descendant of the de Burgh family, Lords of Cawthorn. In 1224-5, amongst the Fines in 9 Hen. III. is that " between Dionis, late wife of Galfrid de Belsum, demandt, and Tomas de Burgo, tent of one Kt's fee in Skepele which the aforesaid Diana claymeth to be of her reasonable dower of a free tenement which was the foresaid Galfrid, her late husband, in the towne, sct. that the foresaid Diana remitted all her clayme to the foreeaid Thomas and his heires.'' This Thomas de Burgh was son of Thomas de Burgh by Sarra, the daughter of Anabella or Mabilla, the daughter of Adam Fitz Swein Fitz Ailric, the Saxon lord of Cawthorn. Thomas Waterton, Esq., of 1574, was the eldest surviving son of Sir Thomas Waterton, of Walton, Sheriff of Yorks, 1 Queen Mary, who was lineally descended from Richard de Waterton, of Walton Hall and Cawthorn, who married Constance, the daughter of Sir William de Assenhull, then holding the Manor of Cawthorn by his marriage with Joan de Burgh a grand-daughter of John de Burgh, the grandson of Thomas de Burgh who died in 7 Ed. II., 1313. Westroyds is a homestead about a mile from the centre of the village of Shepley, and is on the righthand side of the road going from Shepley to Newmill. In 1278, 7 Edw. I. an agreement was made between John de Methley of Thornhill, and Thomas le Hunt, son of Dionysia de Calthorn, that Thomas should take to wxfe Beatrice the daughter of John de Methley. In another charter, in which Thomas son of Dionyza de Calthorn, and Beatrice his wife were on the one part, and Nicholas Costnoght on the other, they sell to Nicholas totam boscum suum crescentum, qui vocatu;

Dykongreve et Canongreve et le Halker et Coperonker ; and all the wood in Dikrode (? Dickroyd in Thurlestone, Penistone parish) and Malkincroft (? now Malkin- house in Cartworth, K.B. parish) and the Westrod (? Westroyd in Shepley township), " to burn for one forge, the said Nicholas to have pasture for himself in the Helehill et petras ad comburendas (which must mean coal) and free passage through the lands of Thomas and Beatrice.'' In 1844-5, 18 E. 8., the King granted to John de Methley of Thornhill free warron in all his demesne land of Thornhill, Shittlington, Metheley, Whitley, and Brertwisell in the co. of Yorke. About this time, the daughter and heiress of Thomas de Methley married Sir Robert de Waterton, the younger son of William de Waterton of the Isle of Axholme. The second John Armitage of Kirklees, born 17 January, 1546-7, made his will 16 June, 1606, ter days before his decease. In it he mentions his cousin Anthony Armytage of Liversedge Hall-his uncle, S" John Kaye, Clerk, deceased-John Wirral, son to his deceased daughter--his second son, Gregory Armytage-his third son, Edward Armytage-John Gregory, Gregory's grandfather-Joseph Armytage, his fourth son-Margerie, his wife-Thomas Beaumont, gent., his brother-in-law- John Armytage, his eldest son-His Executors, John Gascoign, and his brother-in- law William Beaumont-His cousin Robert Nettleton. | The second John Armitage of Kirklees was nearly 60 years of age at the time of his death. His first wife's father's name was given to his second son Gregory. lt is a singular coincidence that in Hunter's South Yorkshire, the pedigrees of Armitage of Doncaster and of Gregory of Barnby on Don have been printed side by side, and yet that no connection has been noted between them. The intimacy between the families about here, in Almondbury and surrounding parishes, and those in the Doncaster Deanery, who lived near the high roads, can be seen in various instances. John Armitage's second wife, Margerie Beaumont, had an aunt married in 1560 to Thomas Green of Barnby on Don ; and a sister married, first, to Robert Holmes of Barnby on Don, and secondly, to Cordell Savile of the same place. The Rectory of Almondbury was owned by proprietors in the Doncaster Deanery, for Archbishop Scott gave it to his college at Rotherham in 1483. In 1517, Robert Nevile was instituted Provost of that College, and at the same time, he was Rector of - Ordsal and Vicar of Aimondbury. The "cousin Anthony Armitage of Liversedge Hall" will probably be the son of Robert Armitage who bought land in Liversedge in 1575 and 1588. " John Wirral, son to his deceased daughter" was his twelve-year-old grandson, the only child of his daughter Anne, who, after a short married life with Sir Hugh Wyrral of Loversal, was buried at Doncaster, 26 Oct., 1594. His " cousin Robert Nettleton " would be the one who owned land in Kirkburton, and whose memory is kept for ever in Almondbury by reason of his charitable gifts to the Grammar School and to the poor. He was born in 1540 and died in 1621, aged 81. Margerie Beaumont, John Armitage's second wife, was one of the daughters of Richard Beaumont of Elmley Park, by his wife Katherine Gascoign ; Richard Beaumont was the eldest son of Thomas Beaumont and Johanna Turton, the daughter of William Turton. There would here be a connection with William Armitage of Crosland, who died in 1573, and who married Margaret Turton. John Armitage settled his second son, Gregory, on the land at Nethershitlington, or Netherton, that he had bought in 1598. His third son, Edward Armitage, was settled at Keresforth. In 1588, John Armytage, gent., Richard Hawkesworthe and William Jesoppe were the plantiffs, and Francis Bosseville, esq., and Dorothy his wife, and Ralph Bosseville, gent., were the deforciants, concerning 8 messuages with lands in Kexforth Hill alias Keresforth Hill, Barnsley, Denbye, Overdenbye and Nether Denbye. In 1569, John Hanson, esq., of Woudhouse, together with James Foxcroft, bought from Nicholas Savile, esq., the . Manor of Kexbrowghe, with lands &c., in Elland, Stainland, Quarmby, North Crosland, &c.. Margerie (Beaumont) Armitage's brother resided at Kexborough, and her son, Edward Armitage, married the daughter of Edward Hanson. __ It is not improbable that John Armitage, the second of Kirklees, resided at _ Westroyds in Shepley for a short time after his first marriage.

The Hermitage.

From Dodsworth's Notes, and from other muterial published by the Yorks. 4rc. Society, the following information has been gathered. The origin of the Hermitag: in Crosland was probably from the donation of land for ' building' by RicAard Rikill, sometime between 1211 and 1240, to the Knights Templars, au Order instituted in 1118, and introduced into Yorkshire in 1152; their duty was to guard the roads far the security of Pilgrims to the Holy Land ; their Latin designation, ' fratres militix Templi Solomonis,' was from their first residence having been in rooms adjoining the Temple at Jerusalem, during the time of the Crusades.

1. In the Writeings of Richard Beaumond of Mirfield, Esq. Richard de Rikil gave to God and St. Mary and the freres Millitse Templi

for the health of his soule and of his father and mother one perticate of land (th fourth part of an acre), and a halfe for building in a place which is called Hege in the Towne of Crossland (Crosland Edge), and 2 of land nere the house of Rickard son of Adam, and all Stainrigs for 2 acres and a halfe of Land under Stainrigs and ore rood of land for building and makeing a garden, dc. Witnesse Jordan de Insub, Thomas Whithand, Henry de Selfleay (Shelley), &c. The building on the land thus given to the Knights Templars would become the residence of a * warrior-bermit.' 2. Know present and to come that I, John de Lascy, Earle of Lincolne and Constable of Chester have given, granted und by this my present charter confirmed to Rickard de Fossato for his homiage and service all the land which I had in Crossland of Richard de Rikill and Alice his sister and Modesta their niece To have and to hold to the sail . Richard and his heires of me and my heires in fee and Inheritance with all the appur- tenances within the Towne and without freely, quietly and peaceably he and his heirs doeing therefore to me and my heires the service of the fifth part of one knight's fee for all service and demands to me and my heires belonging. And I the said John and my heires will warrant &c. Witnesse Roger de Cestria, Henry Waleusis, Hugh Pincerna then Steward (18 Hen. 3. 1233-4), Robert de Cestria, &c. 3.

(Metheley) ; Hugh the Clerk ; Robert de Marton, &c. There are many instances of a Hermitage being placed under the protection of a monastery ; a very similar one to the present being the account in Hunter's South Yorkshire of one at Kimberworth. The monks would let the land for a term of years at a low reut, but they would never sell the land that had once been given to them by a pious benefactor, for the donation had always been made on their promise to pray for the soul of the donor ' for ever.' 4. In the Writeings of Richard Beaumont, Kt. and Baronet. Adam Presbyter, son of late Richard del Egge (Crosland Edge) gave to Robert kis brother all the land which Richard Ais father lately held in the Towne of Croasland and dwelt in a certaine place which is called Egge, whick land he Aoldeth of the frera Militiae templi Solomonis and one acre of land in Meltham which he holds of the heires of Henry de Dutton.

The next deed is a translation of one belonging to Charles Armitage, Esq., and is most interesting and valuable for the names of the various landowners and witnesses. Robert de Nottingham is given in Canon Hulbert's "Almondbury," as Rector of Almondbury from 1236 to 1287, «and the time of the Deed was probably within twenty years of the last date. Most of the names will appear in other families in this work. Sir Richard de Thornhill and Sir John de Heton (Kirkheaton) were both at the great settlement at Pontefract, by Henry de Laci, of the dispute between the Pontefract and West Bretton Privories in 1269. Sir Francis Teutonicus or Tyas was found to be son and heir of Sir Baldwin Teutonicus on 4 June, 51 Hen. III., 1266. 5. Know present and to come that I, Robert de Notingham and Rector of the Church of Almanbiri, have given granted and by this my present charter confirmed to Adam son of John de Locwode and his heirs or to what persor or persons soever or whensoever he shall wish to give béqueath sell or assign a certain messuage with garden and building erected thereupon with appurtenances which is called the Hermitage with ten acres of land in a certain clearing immediately adjoining the messuage and garden towards the south in the freehold of Crosand Roger. I have also granted to the same five acres of land with appurtenances in a certain clearing in the same freehold near the bridge of Crosland Roger towards the south which clearing is called Briggerode and 14 acres of land and a half with all their appurtenances lying nearer to Xaldewelle Denebroke below the divisions of Crosland formerly of Richard de Puesato aud two acres of land and a half with five acres and a half of meadow with all their appurtenances which two acres and a half with the meadow aforesaid are called Usolfley below the same divisions without any Retenement.

And that this my gift grant and confir- mation of my present Deed inuy be of force for ever, I confirm this deed with the impression of my seal. These being witnesses, Sirs de Thornhill, John de Heton, Francis Teutonicus, Knights ; William de Birttona (Kirkburton), John de Shepley, William de Bellomonte, John de Quarmby, Hugo de Fossato (the Constable of Almondbury), John de Lockwood and others. = About a hundred years after this time, in the Records of the Poll Tax in18379 for North

Crosland, appear the names of " Willelmus del Ermytache et Agnes ux: ejus." In

the same Roll, for Crosland Posse, appear the names of " Willelmus de Bergh et Isabella ux : ejus; Willielmus de Bergh, junior." This conjunction of de Burghs with Armitage can be traced in the Shepley Deed of 1224, where Thomas de Burgh claims what was evidently the Westroyds, the known residence of later Armitages. In 1422, Thomas Armitage was holding in Almondbury parish one acre that had lately been held by John Armitage, and for which he paid ij4. In 1462, Richard Beamont of Whitley demised a tenement in Crosland for xz to William Armitage of the Armitage.

In the Kirkburton Registers there are frequent notices of marriages between families in this parish and the Almondbury Armitages ; and in the following Deeds many of the names belong to Kirkburton history. All the Deeds with " at the commencement, have been kindly given for use in this work by Thomas Robinson, Esq., the great-great-grandson of Francis Armitage, Esq. of Blackhouse in land, Kirkburton parish, and of Dudmanstone in Almondbury parish.

Note.-This Roger is one of the sons of William Armitage of Crosland of 1575. The land that he bought at Thuristone was, no doubt, the land left by William Turton in 1559 to " his sister, Margaret, the wife of William Armitage of Crosland." Gile Armitrge, to whom the above bequest was made, lived at Cumberworth and dated his Will there, 23 March, 1606. 1580. John Armitaye of Honley, senior, farmer, to Humphrey his son, deed con cerning Heriot of closes at Highroyd. Thls John was the father also of Roger Armitage of Honley whose Will was dated 1591, and also of JoAn Armitage of Honley, Will 1601, in winch he mentions his " lute brother Roger," and his " brother Humphrey's two sons.'' Mr. Nowell considers this John Armitage, senior, of 1580, was the eldest son of William Armitage of Crosland of 1573, who was the ancestor of the Honley, Highroyd and Dudmanstone Armitages.

(Pedigree, John Armitage of 1527 mentions son Thomas. Thomas Armytedge dr Thickhollins buried 26 Aug. 1561.) John Armitage of Thickhollins, parish of Almondbury, made his Will 2 June 1589. Mentions wife Elizabeth-daughter Jennet-sons, James and Anthony. - Buried 6 Sept. 1589. The son Anthony had been baptised at Almondbury 8 Sept. 1558. Sponsors, Roger Green, Anthony Oldfield and the wife of Humphrey Beaumont. The son J ames, of Thickhollins, was buried at Almondbury 28 Nov. 1626. By Will he made general devise to Jane his wife and nephew Godfrey for life-reversion to John son of Godfrey. Legacy to his brother-in-law Robert Shaw John, the son of Godfrey Armitage of Thickhollins, was baptised 28th March, 1621. Godfrey Armitage, the father, died in 1646 (date of Will, 20 June, 1644) and John, his son and heir, succeeded, but appears to have enjoyed 'the property (Thickhollins) only for about four years, for in 1650 he died, and was buried at Almondbary 16 July of that year, when the Rev. Thomas Naylor, Vicar, writes this tribute to his memory :-" A man pious, prudent, hospitable, adorned with many virtues, and my valued friend." John was succeeded by his brother Anthony Armitage, who married Elizabeth, daughter of the Rev. John Binns, Incumbent of Holmfirth ; she was the grand- daughter of John Binns of Thurstonland in Kirkburton parish by his marriage in 1577 to Elizabeth, the daughter of Thomas Castell of Woldale, no : 3284, vol 1 Regulars This was the same family into which John Armxtage of the Armitage married in 1564, see p. lIzvin. Elizabeth, the wife of Anthon Armitage was buried 28 January, 1657-8. Her brother, the Rev. Christian Binus, interred at Kirkburton in 1669, devised his estate at Bankend in Thurstonland to the children of his sister Elizabeth One of the daughters of Elizabeth and Anthony Armitage married the Rev. Edmund Robinson, Curate of Kirkburton, and resided at Bankend. Anthony Armitage of Thickhollins was buried 8 Sept. 1674. The Rev. Abraham Woodhe'td of Meltham and London, in 1671, calls 111m his " very loving cousin ;" a term that he applied also to John Armxtage, Anthony's son and successor, when he wrote to him from London in November, two months after his father's death. "I am much obliged to you for your kind letter since [ have suffered together with you the great losse of your Father. . . I suppose before this, your brother is on his way to Oxford ; if not, it is time he should be so. You need feare nothing concern- ing him, he is there under y° care of a very honest man, and his fortunes there depend upon his virtues and industry. I shall assist him with my friend in anything I can." 'This younger brother was most likely James, who was baptised at Almoad- bury in 1656. In subsequent letters, Mr. Woodhead tells him of the serious illness of this brother at Oxford. In 1676, James Armitage of Thickhollins was buried, 4 October. _ On the 4 July, the same year, John Armitage had married Mary, the widow of Godfrey Beaumont of South Crosland, and the daughter of James Water- house of Meltham. She lost her life at the birth of her son, John, ard was buried on the 18 May, 1677, the same day that her son was baptised. John Armitage secondly, Barbara _. . . and by her had William, baptised 8 August, 1686. Barbara, the wife of John Armitage of Thickhollins was buried 25 Feb. 1691-2.

John Armitage, the eldest son, born in 1677, married Mary Stead of the aucient family seated at Onesacre in Bradfield parish (Hunter's South Yorkshire, vol. ii. p. 193). Nicholas Stead of Onesacre, born 1583, died 1639, married Frances, daughter of John Hawksworth, by whom Thomas Stead, the father of Nicholas Stead of QOnesncre, baptised 1648, who, in 1669, married Mary, daughter of William Milner of Burton Grange, by whom, with others, Mary, married to Jokn Armitage of Thickhollins. Mary's nieces married into {families whose names are familiar ones in this neighbour- hood. Gertrude Stead married Thomas Allen of Sheffield, for whose descendants see the Allien family already given. Anue Stead married William Wordsworth of New Lathes Elizabeth Stead married John Woodhead of Nether Bradfield. Mary Stead married Aymer Green of Yatehouse (Yateholme). Of these marriages more will be said in the histories of the families mentioned. Anthony, the son of John Armitage of Thickhollins was baptised 2 April, 1703 ; Thomas in 1705 ; Maria in 1707; William, baptised in 1709, died the uext year ; Elizabeth and Barbara, twins, baptised in 1714, buried in 1716; Anna, baptized in 1717. The father, John Armitage, was one of the Grand Jury at York in 1716; he died on the 14 November, 1747. In the Meltham Register there is the entry that ** old Mrs. Mary Armytage, o'th Thickhollins, was buried in the Chancel, July 27, 1752." This can be none other than Mary Stead, the great grand-daughter of Nicholas Stead and Frances Hawksworth, married about 1700 to the above John Armitage. On 5 February, 1729, Anthony Armitage, baptised in 1703, the eldest son of Jolin Armitage and Mary Stead, married Martha Green, the daughter of Christopher Green of Austonley.

This Will was proved in the Exchequer Court of York 22 April, 1591, by the oaths of Agues Armytage the Relict and John Armytage the son the Executors to whom Probate was granted they having been first sworn duly to administer. Note.-This John of the Hermitage would be the John aged 47 in 1561, at the time of the death of his father, John of the Hermitage, who died seised of lands in Crosland, Netherton, &c. At the time of the Survey of the Manor of Almondbury taken in 1548, it was proved that " the said Manor of Almonbury doth extend itself into the Manor of South Crosland, for that John Armitage of the Armitage holdeth one parcel of ground in South Crosland aforesaid, called Roydbank, and one meadow called Mereholm, lying in South Crosland, as of the Manor of Almonbury." The late John Nowell, Esq. of Farnley, an expert student of the Armitage pedigree has left on record that the above John Armitage was the one who was married at Kirkburton on 21 August, 1564, to Agnes Castell. This must have been a second marriage, for Nicholas, " the eldest son," was much older than " John y* son of John Armitedge of Armitedge baptised at Almondbury 6 December, 1565. Sponsors, John Bayleye, John Armitedge and Isabella Beaumont." . The youngest son, Godfrey, was baptised 10 October, 1568. It was probably this Godfrey Armitage who married Mary Smith of Thornhill at Thornhill on 23 September, 1602. The reference to Meltham in the above Will may be the land acquired by the following transaction. 1572, John Waterhouse, j ames Waterhouse and Jan Armyteige, plaintiffs; Robert Rockley, esq., and William Rockley, son and hair apparent of Robert, and Johanna, wife of William, deforciants ; 6 messuages and 3 cottages with lands in Meltham, and a fourth part of the Manor of Mclitham. .

In 1647, died in Spain, Trhomas Armitage of London, a merchant and a papist ; he left

£200 to the poor of Huddersfield, part of which sum was expended in buying 25 acres of land in Huddersfield and 11 acres in Stainland.

In May, 1615, Richard Armytage and Sarah Stevenson were married at Kirkburton Church In his Will in 1665, Richard Armitage of Dudmanstone mentions his wife Sarah,-his son Joseph, his " heir-appareunt," and Richard, his second son. Joseph, the eldest son, was born at Banks, 15 February, 1617, and baptized at Almondbury. (Tomlinson's Huddersfield Library Founders). " Richard y® son of Richard Armitage of Deadmanstonce," was baptized at Almondbury, 20 January, 1627-8. Sarah, the daughter who before 1665 had been the widow of William Brooke, and was then the wife of Joseph Woodhead, was baptized in 1622, as "Sarah y* daughter of Richard Armitage of Honley." The opinion held by Mr. Nowell that this Richard was one of the sons of John Armytage of Honley, and mentioned in his Will of 1601, appears to be correct. He was thus the grandson of John Armitage of Honley. senior, of Deed of 1580 con- cerning Highroyd, which John was the eldest son of William Armitage of Crosland of 1573, the son of Roger Armitage of 1537, the brother to John Armitage of 1527. Anthony Armitage of Thurlstone, one of the sons of William Armitage of Crosland, in his Will in 1608, mentions his 'cousin ' Richard Armitage, who had probably been apprenticed to him ; the term 'cousin,' as all students of early Wills will know, included all relationships beyond brother or sister, and in this case, Anthony was uncle to Richard's father. Richard Armytage's journeys from Almondbury to Thurlatone would take him through Shepley, where abode the Stevensons, of the same family who entered into large land investments (see YorksAkire Record Series) with John Gregory, the ' merchant-prince' of the West Riding, who was the father of the first wife of the second John Armpytage of Kirklees and Shepley. Of the two surviving sons of the above Richard Armytage of Dudmanstone, Richard, the second son became the forefather of the Highroyd and Wakefield Armitages ; but Joseph, ' the heir-apparent,' never married. The father's transaction concerning Dudmanstone in 1663, and his Will in 1665, will be followed by Deeds . belonging to this prosperous Joseph, who fully deserved the title given him by Mr. Nowell, of being "the splendid bachelor-uncle," who largely increased the family possessions. 1663.

From this date, 1706, the descendants of the two surviving sons of the second Richard Armitage of Dudmanstone form two distinct branches, the elder making their home more in the neighbourhood of Wakefield, whence the first wife of Richard Armitage was married ; the younger branch remained in the neighbourhood of Huddersfield, nearer their ancestral home. Richard Armitage's first marriage was to Maria Bayley of Horbury, on Oct. 1i, 1655, and according to the usage of the Commonwealth time, the ceremony was per- formed by a Justice of the Peace, Sir John Savile, Kt. By this marriage there were two sons, William and Joseph, both mentioned in their grandfathers will in 1665; William, presumably, died early, as his name does not occur again. - Joseph inherited the greater part of his uncle, the splendid Joseph's possessions; Dudmanstone Sturley, Lady House, Dodgroid, the Armitage, houses and lands in Honley were all to go to ' Joseph Armitage of Wakefield, my nephew," after the decease of the testator's brother Richard. It so happened that J oseph died before his father. Joseph Armitage of Dudmanstone was buried ait Almondbury, 27 April, 1689. Richard, hs father, was buried at Almondbury, 17th March, 1705-6. The marriage of Joseph is neither in the Wakefield nor the Almonbury Registers, but in the Kirkburton Registers there is this entry in volume ii. "No. 4701.

Thomas Brooke, of Fieldhead, in Dodworth, the Rector of Richmond. Emilia, daughter of William Fenton and Sarah Armitage, married M'.

February, 1878. His eldest son and heir, Joseph Armpytage Armitage, J.P., bom 23 September, 1840, married Julia Fravces, second daughter of George Thomas Pollard. Esq., of Ashfield, Cheltenham. This marriage brought the Armitage family again wto connection with some of the oldest and mut renowned families in Yorkshire and Lancashire. - M"". Armitage is the granu-Jdaughter of George Pollard, Esq., © Stinnary Hall, Halifas, by his wife Charlotte, born in 1784, married in 1805, the only child and heiress of the Kev. Sir Thomas Horton, who married in 1779, Elizabett. Stanley, one of the daughters of James, Lord Strange, who died in 1771, in ih lifetime of his father, Edward, eleventh Earl of Derby. To quote from Dod' Pecrage, " The Stanleys nre of ansient Saxon descent. - Soon after the Conquest,. Joes Stanley, the only daughter and heir of this family, married William de Aldithi » . assumed the name of his wife, and wan progenitor of the Earls of Derby ; whs therefore in the male line derive from the same stock as the Audleys, viz. from Adam de Aldithley, a compauion of William the Conqueror." Jones's Views of Arcestr=' Homes gives a further account. " James, tenth Earl of Derby, died in 1786. - James, Lord Stanley, called Lord Strange, eldest son of cleventh Earl, and father of th: twelfth Earl of Derby, died in 1771. The family of Stanley derive their origin from" the baronial House of Audley, whose Arms are Gules, a ¥rct Or. Adam de And'k;. a second son, bore the arms of his father, with a label of three points azure, and wa father of William de Audley of Stanley in Staffordshire, whose great-grandsno, Sir William Stanley, married the daughter and heiress of Sir Philip de Bamwville, ard became possessed, by his marriage, of Wirral Forest, in Cheshire; in allesioun to which, he assumed for his armorial distinction, Argent, on a bend azure, three Bucis heads cabossed or, instead of the Cost borne by his ancestors, with the motto, " Sam Changer,'' which has been continued ever since by the family." See the Avd/cs connection with West Riding History on pp. v.-ir. of these Kirkburton Histories. Edward, eleventh Earl of Derby, was the graudson of Elizabeth Bosvile of Warms- worth, near Doncaster ; she married on 25 December, 1663, Sir Edward Stanley of Bickerstaffe, co. Lanc. Elizabeth Bosvile was deecended from the families of Nevik, Freschville, Wortley, Vesey, and from Gerard, Lord Furnival, whose daughter Beatrix married Peter Bosvile, living in 1296.

Armitage of Greenside (Thurstonland.)

A branch of the Armitage family of Hall Ing in Honley came to reside in land about the year 1720, and their descendants have continued there to the present time. Their descent from Roger Armitage of Honley of 1537, appears to be by William Armitage of Crosland of 1573 ; John Armitage, senior, of Honley, of Deed of 1580 ; and Roger Armitage of Honley of 1591, who had married Jennett Mokeson of Yew Tree House in Kirkburton. This Roger left Robert Armitage, his 'son and heir apparent.' Robert Armitage of Hall Ing died in 1628. Roger Armitage of Hall Ing and Dorothy Blackburn were married at Almondbury 5 Feb., 1638. Their son John was baptised at Almondbury 80 Sept., 1639. Roger Armitage of Hall Ing was buried there 6 Oct., 1669, cight days after the making of his Will. (T.R.) 1669. Will of Roger Armitage of Hall Ing, 28 September, 1669, 21 Charles 2.

Witnesses, Robert Woodall, AbD Sharp. Five years after the date of this Will, John and Joseph Armitage sold the New Close, mentioned above, to Joseph Armitage of Dudmanstone, see page In Dr. Morehouse's History of Kirkburton, p. 213, is the account of a Rent-charge on Hall Ing lands. "In 1698, ithe Trustees of Holme School agreed with JoAn Armitage of Cudworth for the absolute purchase of an annuity, or yearly Rent-charge of Ten Pounds, to be issuing and going out of the messuage or tenement and closes of land, &c., therein mentioned, in order to settle the same according to the Will of the Testator, and the said John Armitage, in pursuance of his agreement by his indenture bearing date the 18° October, 1698, did, for the consideration of £200, and other considerations therein mentioned, give and grant to the said Trustees and their heirs and assigns for ever, the yearly rent or sum of £10, to be issuing and going forth of one messuage or tenement called Hall /ng with the appurtenances in Honley ; and of eight closes of land, arable, meadow and pasture, commonly called or known by the several names of the Hall Ing, then divided into two closes, and called Great Ing and Over Ing; one close called New Close, one close called \Woodroyd, one close called Lane Side, two closes called Shellroyd, 2nd one close called Dodroyd, and all buildings, &c.

The residence of John Armitage of Mall Ing in Almondbury parish, at Cudworth, 3} miles N. E. of Barnsley, is of interest because this place is within five miles «f Keresforth, the home of the descendants of Edward Armitage of Kirklees, who, ca the 22 Oct. 1607, married Elizabeth Hanson, daughter of Edward Hanson of Almondbury-Paver's Marriage Licenses. It may have been that the Mines Jobn Armitage mentions in his Will of 1723 were at Cudworth in the coal district. (T.R) 1723. Will of John Armitage of Holling, 19 January, 1723. To his eldest son James half a house &c., and one Close called Upper Ing. One Close the Great Ing, Broad Holly, Toad Hole.

By 1722, Elias Armi/age had taken up his abode at Greenside in Thurstonland, : homesterd about a mile and a half from Hall Ing in Houley. In that year, his daughter Mary was baptized at Kirkburton church ; in 1723, his daughter Sarah ; in 1728, his son John ; in 17232, his daughter Hannah ; in 1735, his son Joseph. There had already been a connection between Thurstonland families and Armitages of Almondbury. In 1675, John Armitage of Almondbury parish, married Lydia Lockwood of Kirkburton parish. In 1676, 17 June, John y® son of John Armitage of Hall Ing was baptised at Almondbury, and the same day the wife of John Armitage of Hall Ing was buried there ; the wife's Christian name is omitted in the Latin entry. In 1694, John Armitage of Almondbury parish married Aune Aneley of Kirkturton parish. Both Lockwoods and Ainleys were at this time in Thurstonland township. About 1770, died John Aneley of Hall Ing. 17418. Will of Klias Armitage of Greenside.

[n witness whereof I the said Elias Armitage have set my hand and seal this thirty irst day of August Anno Domini 1748. (Signed) Elias Armitage. (The red sealingwax has no impression on it.) Sealed Signed published and Declared by the said Elias Armitage to be his last Will and Testament in the presence of us John Armitage, Joseph Armitage." From the similarity in the signature, the Will appears to be in the handwriting of Joseph Armitage, the lad of 13, who must have already shown the aptitude to be a scholar which made his father anxious that he should have at least one month's during the year. A Joseph Armitage was one of the Churchwardens in 1762-3 for the eight townships forming the parish of Kirkburton. On 25 March, 1811, Joseph Armitage of Wistones was buried at Kirkburton ; the letter 4 added to the entry shows that a Mortuary Fee was paid at the time. Born in 1735, 76 years will have been his allotted time. Elias Armitage of Moorside in Thurstonland was buried at Kirkburton 12 Nov. 1748. - His widow, Hannah Armitage of Greenside, was buried here 28 April, 1765. Their second daughter, Mary, was buried from Lees in Almondbury parish in March, 1788. - Hantah, the youngest daughter, was married at Kirkburton on 23 May, 1756, to James Jessope of Thurstonland ; present as witnesses were John Armitage, her brother, and Richard Armitage of Halling, her cousin. Jolin Armitage had been married about two months previously, on 1 March, to Mary Hobson of Thurstonland, and the witnesses who signed were Thomas Gill and Richard Armitage. - Bearing in mind the terms of his grandfather's Will in 1723, that he gave one half of his mines to his son Amos to his heirs being males and in default to his son Elias und his heirs male, it is of interest to note the history of Richard who was the only son of Amos of Halling. In 1761, Richard Armitage of Honley, bachelor, married Hannah Wainman of Lepton, spinster ; an infant son, Amos, died in 1763; Richard, another sou, died in 1788, aged 24: Richard, the father, died in 1802, aged 76. John, another son of Richard, died in 1804, aged 88, (without any mention of children in his Will). Timothy, Richard's youngest son, died in 1827, aged 57. In 1759, Richard Armitage of Hall Ing was Churchwarden for Honley.

'The tomb of the Greenside Armitages is in the south part of the churchyard, -- one flat stone with inscriptions has another flat stone raised about two feet above it. On the lower stone are the words, "" John son of John Armitage of Greenside buried 7 Deceimnber, 1779, aged 17. Sarah, daughter of the said John Armitage of Greenside buried same day.

She died, as stated above on the tombstone, i 1802, aged 31. The name of Thomas Poppleton appears as a Merchant in Almond- bury in 1822 in Baines' Directory. In 1815, John Sugden and Sarah Armitage were married by Licence. Present, as witnesses, were Joseph Armitage, James Scott, and Enoch Beaumont. M" and M" Sugden went to reside in Leeds, but on M" Sugden's deuth several years later, she was brought for interment to Highfield Chapel, Huddersfield.

Sarah Hannah, the third daughter, born in 1835, martied Allen Jackson, but died shortly afterwards. Amos Armitage has left some accounts concerning the Township of Thurstonland during the time he was Overseer and Churchwarden. In 1792, when Amos was 24 years of age, there was an Assessment made for the Window Tax. Out of the 50 houses given in the list, 80 were houses with six windows, and included those belong- ing to John Armitnge of Greenside (the son of Elias), and John Armitage of Ingbhead.

Armitage of Inghead, Thurstonland.

Early in 1722 appears the first entry concerning William Armitage of Inghead in the Kirkburton lMegisters. According to the Thickhollins Armitage pedigree, there had been a William Armitage of that family already in residence at Thurstonland ; he died unmarried on 6 Feb, 1721-2, and was buried at Meltham. In the Will of John Armitage of Huddersfield of 1555, he mentions a yearly rent of 2s. out of lands of Matthew Marshe in Thurscoland (Thurstonland), so that already for nearly 200 years, there was a connection between Huddersfield and Almondbury Armitages in Thurstonland townsbip in Kirkburton parieh.

It would be this John Armitage who, at the dissolution of the Monasteries in 1589, was holding a tenement and two cottages in Huddersfield at year of Kirklees Priory (Vol. ix. Arch. Jour.) The mention of Farnley Tyas in this Will probably points to his son John being the John Armitage of Farnley Tyas and Huddersfield who bought Kirklees on October 26, 1565, and who was killed on the coast of Ireland early in 1574. [(See ante xlviii-1. )

A fortnight afterwards, on 21 February, Elizabeth, daughter 4 William Armitage of the Inghead in Thurstiland was baptised at Kirkburton Charch. No. 2486, vol. iii, K.B. Reg.) The marriage of this William is not in the K.B. egistera, but in a very useful series of Notes made in 1777 by the Rev. WV mam Mountjoy, Vicar of Kirkburton, on the Births, Deaths, and Marriages for that cae year, it is said that Nancy, then baptised, was the daughter of G Armitage, Clothier, the son of William Armitage of Inghead by Grace, daugkter of Phsip Breas of Inghead. The mother of the child was Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Brooke of Stocks, son of Joseph Brooke of Stocks, Clothier. The Note concerning the grand-parents of the child may require correction. On 80 October, 1768, Mary Armitage of Inghead was buried, and she appears to be the widow of Willian Armitage. In 1683, a generation before William Armitage, '* John Armitage of y® parish of Almonbury and Grace Bray of this parish" were married at Kirkburton on 5 June. William Armitage of Inghead had nine children between 1722 and 1740 ; his death is not entered in the K.B. Reg., but it must have taken place before 26 May, 1755, when Elizabeth (the eldest), daughterof Widow Armitage of Inghead in Thurstoniand was buied at Kirkburton, aged 33. Arthur, the eldest son, baptised August, 1721, died April, 1780. ~ Joseph, baptised Oct., 1725, lived at Inghead, and was buried from there 25 Dec., 1794, aged 69 ; no marriage recorded, Barbara was baptised Feb. 1727.

This was the year in which ' Mary Armitage of Inghead ' was buried, and John appears then to have returned to Ingheard, whilst George, his younger brother, went to reside at Heymourhouse.

Elizabeth Armitage, his widow, was buried 28 Feb. 1822, aged 77, Woodnook is a little homestead pleasautly situated between Radcliffe Wood and the highway going up Red Hill to Shelley ; from it there is an extensive prospect over the Huddersfield valley; in the spring- time, the little home reminds one of a love-in-a-cottage residence.

Armitage of Lidgate, Woldale. Woldale, correctly derived from Wolves' dale, is one of the eight townships of Kirk- burton parish ; the district is very hilly, the height of the land varying from 500 feet to 1000. The rugged character uf the country had its influence on the people who lived on its hill-sides. In the grievous religious contests of the latter half of the seventeenth century, there were no more manly defenders of the resolve to have " freedom to worship God," than Godfrey and John Armitage of Lidgate in Woldale. ln this resolve they were strengthencd by the visits of their friend, the Rev. Oliver Heywood. His first visit to Lidgate (or Lidget, according to the local pronunciation), noted in his diary, was in 1671. " On Saturday, March 11, 1670-1, I went to Hulme (Holme). On Lord's Day, 12th, I had appointed to preach at Woodhead Chapel in Cheshire-but it was a terrible storm of snow over those moores, at night I preacht at Mr. Earnebhaw's and again on Munday night, 13th, and that night after nine a'ciock went three miles, and preacht again at Godfrey Armitage's at Lidget in Kirkburton parish, and so came home on Tuesday, found all well, blessed be God." His next risit was on the following 13 Jure-" Went forward to the Lidget in KB. parish

preac't at John Armitage's to a great number." Two years afterwards-" On Tues ay, Jan 14, 1672-3, upon a call and appointment I went to J. Armitage's st a licensed place (for public worship), where many people were together preacht, lodged at Mr. Abr. Lockwood's of Blackhouse in Burton punk—came home safc the day following, blessed he God." Mr. Heywood had some experiences in thu hilly country-" Upon Thursday morning. March 13, 1683-4, having promised to goe to preach at Jo: Armitage's in Kirkburton parish, on the Lord's Day before, when it was fair weather, (having not been there of some years, nor such a journey of several months), in the interim it fell a considerable snow, and was some frost, but yet because of my promise I resolved to goe, and God helped me to commit myself isto His hands, I set out, found it very dangerous way for it anow-balled on my horse's feet, I resolved to call of Mr. Thorp at Hopton-hall, going towards his house, on the hill-side northwards, being yxeldmg ground, my horse's feet being balled, in a bare place, all his feet slipt from under him, and he came down on his side, and I bay along, I know not how, the horse lying still, till I was got up, and when I recollected myself, I perceived no hurt, only my thigh a little stunon'd, but is now well : but the same day I had a more wonderful deliverance for going in the snow from Mr. Lock- wood's of Blakehouse to J. Armbages going down the hill from Thurstiland to Lidiat, having no track in the new snow, I mist my way and went down too soon, and so got mtan gled in a wood, among bogs, and very dangerous precipices, I made towards the end of the wood where I knew my way lay, but toyled hard, one while riding where 1 durst, another while struggling and sweating a foot till my breath was spent, I stood still, and breathed and at it again, my horse followed me, tho with great difficulty, it was moonlight, at last I got to John Armitage, when I told him where I had been he was much astonished, and wondred how I ever got quit, and said I did not know my dauger, for that place is full of pits, so that its called Sinking Hills (or Sinking Wood) b the Inhabitants he said that while I was in that hazard he thought on me and trembled in fear for me, and had met me, but that be despaired of my coming, because of the badness of the weather. I was still on a sweat, but got hot drink, fell to praying, preaching to about forty persons, on Matthew vi. 33, went out after half a mile near 12 a'clock, lodged at J. RK. ; that night the people gave me 3 shillings and 6d. for my paines, some 6d., some 3d. -I was well content, blesse God for it." * The Kirkburton Registers show Edward Armitage, the grandfither of Godfrey, to have been living in Woldale in 1566. It is most probable that Edward was one of the sons of John Armitage of Honley, whose Will was dated in 1558 (see page lvi\ The name Edward does not occur in the Almondbury Registers of Armitage for about forty years after the date of this Will; Edward Armitage of Woldale and hs immediate descendants followed the same trade as the above John Armitage of Honley, Smith, who left to his son Edward "one Iron Stethie." Edward Armitage married Elizabeth... .. . , and, according to the KB. Registers, his six children were Isabel, baptised in 1562; Roger in 1565 ; John in 1566 ; Edward in 1568 ; Grace in 1571; and Susanna in 1578. Elizabeth, wife of Edward, died in 1585. MNoger, the eldest son, whose name does not occur again in these isters afterhis marriage, was probably the one who married Jennet Mokeson of Kirkburton in 1583, and who went to reside in Honley, whence his Will was dated in 1591 (see page lzviii}, John, the second son, baptised in 1566, married Margaret Blackburn in 1586 ; their children were, Edward baptised in 1686 Margaret in 1588-9, married in 1613 to Emor Battie; James, baptxsed in 1591 ; Robert in 1596 ; Richard in 1599; and Godfrey, the youngest son, and future friend of the Rev.

In 1672, the Rev. Joseph Briggs became Vicar of Kirkburton ; the short account already given of him in the Note to No: 992, volume 2, KB. Registers, is sufficieat to 'how that there was soon a wide chasm between him and all those who thought lifferently to himself ; the effect is seen in the Registers by the absence of Marriages ind Baptiems, and sometimes of Burials, of the Independents, who preferred having 'hese rites performed elsewhere. " | Godfrey Armitage died, probably, between 14 March, 1670-1, and 13 June, 1671 ; sut his burial is lost to the Kirkburton Church Registers. Ellen, wife of John Armitage of Lydgate, was buried at Kirkburton, 17 Oct. 1665; before that date, Tobias, son of John, was buried 14 June, 1660 ; Joel sonne of John Armitage of Lydgate was baptised 20 Oct. 1661, and buried 18 Sept. 1663 ; Lemuel was baptised 23 Aug. 1664, and was buried here 7 Feb. 1678-4. (See Note and No: 3092, rof. z.) The second marriage of John Armitage does not appear in the Church Registers, but Mary, his wife, was buried here 14 Dec, 1677. In an account of the Armitage family published by Mr. Cyrus Armitage of Manchester, it is said that Enoch, son of John Armitage of Lidget, wus born 27 November, 1677 ; this would be about a fortnight before the death of his mother. In the Diary of the Rev. Oliver Heywood, it is noted that John Armitage of Lidget married Mary Morehouse on 21 July, 1679. "John Armytage of Lidget in Woodale buried at the Meeting-place in this month, April, 1700." (No: 7871, sol. 2, KB. Reg.) Enoch, born in 1677, married Martha Bever at Kirkburton Church, on 24 Septem- tber, 1700; their four children were not baptised at Kirkburton, but M" Cyrus Armitage's account gives the information that Mary, born in 1701, married Ephraim Titus, and died in 1775; John Armitage, the eldest son, born in 1703, married Hannah Armitage his cousin, daughter of Caleb Armitage of Westroyds, Shepley, and died in 1762. - Reuben, the second son of Enoch, born in 1705, married, first, . . .

On 5 January, 1730-1. this John was married at Kirkburton Church to his cousin Hannah, oue of the daughters of Caleb Armitage of Westroyds ; from this time this branch of the family passed out of the Kirkburton Registers, and the information coucerning them will be taken from M" Cyrus Armitage's interesting record of the Manchester family. John and Hannah Armitage, married at Kirkburton, had five children ; Hannah, born 17831, married Henry Howorth in 1767, and died in 1817. Reuben, eldest son, born 1739, married Mary Wilgoose in 1776. and hud four children, William, Mary, Reuben and Hannab, Reuben died in 1816.

Elizabeth wife of John Armitage of Kirkburton, Clothier, was buried December, 1715. la 1717, John Armitage married, secondly, Sarah Robucke of High Burton Hall ; in the following year their daughter Agnes was born. This John Armitage appears after this time to have removed from Kirkburton to High Burton, for in January, 1729-30, Agnes, daughter of John Armitage of High Burton was buried, and his own death appears in March, two months afterwards, as that of John Armitage, senior, of High Burton.

This Joshua Armitage appears tn be the rat of a line who settled at Busker, and whose history will be given afterwards. From Joseph, the second son of John and Elizabeth Armitage, the greater number of the present Armitages of Kirkburton are descended. Abraham, Joseph's eldest son baptised in 1710, married Elizabeth Scholes in 17838, and by her had thirteen children.

of 19 in 1774 ; in 1758, Alexander son of John Armitage of Shelley was baptised. John Armitage of Roydhouse in Shelley was buried September, 1778. Alexander Armitage's marriage took place elsewhere than in Kirkburton ; he married Ann . and by her had nine children ; Elizabeth, baptised in 1780, died in 1788 ; Hannah, daughter of Alex. Armitage of Roydhouse, was baptised December, 1781. Joyous, daughter of Alex. Armitage of Greenside in Shelly, was baptised April, 1784 ; she died in 1803. John son of Alex. Armitage of Windsor Castle in Shelley was baptised 25 September, 1786. Ann was baptised from the same place in January, 1789. Mary, daughter of Alex. Armitage of Tophitt in Hoyland, was baptised June, 1791. Robert, son of Alex. Armitage of Shelley, was baptised October, 1798. George, son of Alexander and Ann Armitage of Grice, was baptised in August, 1796 ; George was buried from Shelley in July, 1866. Matthew, son of Alexander and Ann Armitage of Grice was baptised in December, 1799, and buried in March, 1802. Ann, wife of Alexander Armitage of Grice in Shelley, was buried 7 December, 1825, aged 67. _ Alexander Armitage of Grice, died at Huddersfield, and was buried at Kirkburton 18 May, 1837, aged 78. John Armitage, baptised in 1786, the eldest son of Alexander and Ann Armitage, married Mary --, but like those of his forefathers, the marriage took place out of Kirkburton parish. On 7 April, 1836, aged 49 years, John Armitage died ' by violent hands'; a verdict of Manslaughter was brought against John Scaif, and that this man's remorse was genuine may be gathered from the fact that he was often observed, in the dusk of the evening, kneeling by the grave of the man he had sent so suddenly to his account ; and still further, that in John Scaif's last illness, he entreated to be buried elsewhere and not in Kirkburton churchyard. It was after this unfortunate affair that Alexander Armitage, the father of the murdered man, went to reside in Huddersfield with a married daughter ; but thirteen months after his son's death, he was laid in the same grave. Mary, wife of the late John Armitage of Grice, died 18 July, 1879, aged 93 ; she had married for her second husband, Edmund Brook of Shelley. Robert Armitage, baptised in 1793, second son of Alexander and Ann Armitage, married Martha Exley ; the Banus were published at Kirkburton in October, 1818. Mary, wife of William Beaumont of Emley Moor, and daughter of Robert and Martha Armitage, died 21 January, 1856, aged 23 years and 11 months, and was buried at Kirkburton in the family grave, which is close by the path leading from the Marriage gate to the south porch.

In March, 1822, William Armitage of the Chapelry of Horbury, and Bathsheba Green, daughter of John Green of Roydhouse in this parish, were married by Licence given by Sam. Sharp, Surrogate ; present, as witnesses, were Elizabeth Green, Ann Hey, and Elias Ainley. (Fourteen years before, in 1808, Elias Ainley had married Mary Green, see page xiii.) Edward, son of William and Bathsheba Armitage of Roydhouse, was baptised at Kirkburton in June, 1880. It is said that William Armitage and his family went to reside in America.

Armitage of Busker. The line of Armitage at Busker, a hamlet in the lordship of Skelmanthorpe, in the parish of High Hoyland, 8 miles S.E. of Huddersfield, may with certainty be traced to Joshua, the third and youngest son of John and Elizabeth Armitage of Kirkburton, who were married in 1680, see page cxxvi. The first mention of the place, Busker, in the Kirkburton Registers is at the burial of Joseph, son of Joshua Armitage of Busker in Emley parish, buried by M'" Woollin's leave (Rector of Emley), on the 25t" October, 1740. Joshua Armitage was probably the grandson of John and Judith Armitage of ' Burton towne,' buried, respectively, in 1682 and 1674 ; he was certainly one of the three sons of John Armitage, who, baptised in 1648, married Elizabeth Marsden in August, 1680. Joshua, baptised in 1692, married Mary Marsden in November, 1717, and by her had Elizabeth, baptised in 1718; Mary in January, 1722 ; John in March, 1724; Hannah and Frances, twins, baptised and buried between March and May, 1726; and Joseph, baptised in November, 1727. In June, 1729, Mary wife of Joshua

Armitage of Kirkburton was buried, and it would be after this event, that Joshus went to reside at Busker. The boundaries of the townships here are so undefined that the dwellers on Busker farm pay a portion of their rates to one township which s partly in the parishes of Kirkburton and Emley, and another portion to the township which is in the parish of High Hoyland, There were already Armitages in the parishes of High Hoyland and Cumberworth. Though the Parish Register at High Hoyland only now commences at 1650, there are much earlier records in the York Diocesan Registry, and M' J. Horsfall Turper ba found in one the entry that Tabitha, daughter of Thomas Armytage of Wheatley Hill was baptised at High Hoyland on 25 July, 1618. From 1559, when Margaret, wife of William Armitage of Crosland, succeeded to the Manor of Cumberworth as heir to bee brother, William Turton, there are constant notices of the residence of Armitage m this district, see page Ix. et seq. Another Thomas Armitage of Wheatley Hill, whore Will dated 30th May, 1744, was proved at York 18 Feb. 1745, had also a daaghter Tabitha, born about 1714. This Tabitha married John Rusby at High Hoyland m 1733, and she died 9 Feb. 1798, aged 84 years. The following entries are from the Kirkburton Registers, and are here inserted as being apart from the direct succession through Joshua Armitage. Margaret, wife of John Armitage of Moorside, Shelley, was buried in 1711 Matthew, son of John Armitage of Skelmanthorpe, was buried from John Armitage's house at Standing Hurst the 17 August, 1718. J . . , son of Joseph Armpytege of Cumberworth Moorside was baptised January, 1713-14. Hanuah, daughter ef John Armitage of Cumberworth Moorside was baptised February, 1715-16. Mary, daughter of Joseph Armitage of Cumberworth Moorside, was buried April, 1719. Joseph son of John (or Joseph) Armitage of Cumberworth Moorside was baptised October, 1723. Mary, daughter of George Armitage of Skelmondthorpe was buried 8 June, 1768. Rachel Armitage from Clayton (in High Hoyland parish) was buried September, 1773. (This may be Rachel, daughter of James Armitage baptised from Shepley in January, 1740-1.) Sarah, wife of Joseph Armitage of Skelmonthorp, was buried 12 April, 1795. George Armitage of Skelmonthorp was buried 20 January, 1797. Arthur Armitage of Parkgate in Shelmondthorpe was buried 27 October, 1833, aged 40 years, Elizabeth, wife of Arthur Armitage of Parkgate, Emley, was buried 1 December, 1833, aged 33. Joghua Armitage must have married again after he removed from Kirkburton to Busker, for in his Will in 1752, he speaks of 'my now wife. Joshua Armitage of Busker in Skelmondthorp was interred at Kirkburton 19 November, 1752. Will of Joshua Armitage of Boscar, par. Emley. 20 October, 1752. Body to the earth.

The son John named Executor was the one baptised at Kirkburton in March, 1724 ; his remains were not brought to Kirkburton, and were probably interred at High Hoyland, one of the quietest and highest churchyards in the country.

In 1822, Joshua Armitage was a Fancy Manufacturer in Nether Cumberworth ; in 1838, the

three brothers, Joshua, Samuel and Benjamin were partners in the same successful manufacturing business in Shelley. M" Samuel Armitage married Miss Jackson of Baukend in the parish of High Hoyland ; eventually he bought The Abbey, Shepley, and died there on 8 August, 1889, aged 83 ; leaving a son now resident there, M" Edward Armitage. MT Benjamin Armitage married Miss Jackson of Kexborough, and, about 1868, bought The Carr, Shepley, and resided there to his death ; his sons, still resident in thepley, are M' John Armitage; M" James Armitage of Hall Royd House ; M" Jackson Armitage of Ashleigh House; and M" Joshua Kaye Armitage. MT Joshua Armitage, the eldest of the three brothers at Shelley in 1838, married a daughter of the Rev. Robert Pickles of Kirkburton, and by her had Walter and Thomas Armitage. M'" Walter Armitage, Solicitor, died at his residence, Kirkstyles, Cumberworth, on Sunday, 17 April, 1892, aged 56 years. "News of the lamentable event was everywhere received with deep regret, as the deceased gentleman enjoyed the respect and esteem of all who knew him. Kindly, genial, and sympathetic, he was full of consideration for others. As a lawyer he was able and conscientious, and his numerous good qualities as an individual never failed to win him friends. As a litician, he formerly belonged to the Gladstonian camp, but on the introduction of flame Rule he went over to the Liberal Unionists, of whose cause be was subsequently a staunch adherent. At the last General Election he contested the Holmfirth Division in the Unionist interest against M" H. J. Wilson, and, although defeated-as it was expected he must be, the odds being so much against him-he conducted a good fight, and made a very favourable impression upon the constituency. In other ways, M" Armitage did much to further the Liberal Unionist cause in Huddersfield and the district He was an old member of the Huddersfield Incorporated Law Society, and had filled the position of President of the Society. The Members of this Society met on the Thursday following his death to place on record their sense of the deep sorrow at the death of their friend, M" Walter Armitage; and to offer to his brother, M" Thomas Armitage, their deep sympathy with him in his sad bereavement." A life so lived as to cause such universal sorrow when it passes away from earth, wonld be a treasured remembrance in the annals of any family ; and this one fitly

closes the present history of the long line of those who have borne the name of Armitage.

9. ASPINALL. This family is given to show the curious changes in the name,-Asman being so dissimilar to Aspinall that a casual searcher in the Registers might fail to notice the connection. In every instance the exact spelling in the Register will be given. October, 1739, Ely of the parish of Huddersfield and Martha Smith of this parish were married the 3r4 day, by M" Twisleton's (Vicar of Huddersfield) Certificate. October, 1740, John, son of Ely Aspinall of Kirkburton, baptised the day, July, 1743, Thomas, son of Elias Aspinall of Kirkburton, baptised the 13 day.

William, son of John and Sarah Aspinall of Woldale, baptised December, 1805. Joseph, son of John and Sarah Askin of Woldale, baptised December, 1807.

10. ATKINSON.

Without any intimation of his parentage, or, afterwards of the place of his burial, a William Atkinson appears in the Kirkburton Registers on 14 October, 1708, at his marriage in the parish church to Ellen Greaves. Their daughter Mary was baptised from Scholes in 1709; their son Joseph, baptised early in 1712, died shortly after- wards, and though the burial Register gives the infant's rame as John, there can be no doubt it is the same child. Ellen, wife of William Atkinson, of Hillhouse, in Cartworth, was buried in 1713. Mary Atkinson, the only surviving child of the above marriage, married Ralph Greensmith in 1729.

Luke Wilson of Mithom Bridge, in Kirkburton parish, had a daughter Abigail baptised in 1686 ; she married Abraham Radcliffe, the eldest son of the Rev. William Radcliffe. Abigail and Abraham Radcliffe had a daughter Abigail born in 1724, who married, first, the Rev. John Hirst of Gledholt, by whom was a daughter Elizabeth, born in 1754, who married Richard Atkinson, born in 1745, the fourth son of Joseph and Elizabeth Atkinson, originally of Park Head, Cumberland, and afterwards of Bradley Mills, near Huddersfield. According to M" Tomlinson's Transcripts of Huddersfield Farish Church tombstones-" Elizabeth, wife of Richard Atkinson, Senior, of Aspley, died 15 January, 1818, aged 64 years. Charlotte, daughter of the above Richard and Elizabeth Atkinson, died 14 Dec. 1822, aged 50 years. The above Richard Atkinson, Senior, died 21 September, 1825, aged 80 years. Marn, wife of Richard Atkinson, junior, died at Scarborough 25 July, 1850, aged 65 years." The representatives of this branch of the Atkinson family are now living in Leeds.

In Shelley township in Kirkburton parish is an ancient homestead named Wool- row ; the meaning of this name appears more clearly in the earlier mode of spelling the word which, in 1307, was Wlvwro, or the field of Wolf-pits, the place to which these animals were decoyed. In 1713, Benjamin Stocks, of Woolrow, was oue of the Churchwardens for Kirkburton parish ; his descendants occupied the farm to within recent years, In D" Morehouse's History of Kirkburton, it is stated that " the late Samuel Stocks, Esq., of Wakefield, devised Woolrow and cther estates in this parish to his daughter Sarah, wife of Thomas Farmer, Esq., of Arthington Hall (8 miles north-west of Leeds), in whom it now vests." M" Thomas Farmer was the son of Richard and Jane Farmer of Wolverhampton. Elizabeth, daughter of M" and M" Thomas Farmer, and grand-daughter of Samuel Stocks of Wakefield, married Alder- man Henry John Atkinson of Hull. " M'" Henry John Atkinson of Gunneraby House, Acton, and of Arthington Hall, is the second son of the late M'" George Atkinson of Hull, and was born in 1828. He is a Magistrate for the county of Middlesex, and also for the borough of Hull, of which town he is an Alderman, and of which place he has twice been Mayor. He has been M.P. for North Lincolnshire,

na in July, 1886, was elected M.P. for Boston, Lincolnshire." (J. Horsfall Turner's Yorkshire Genealogist). M" Atkinson resigned his seat at Boston in 1892. IX hree hundred years ago there was a marriage between an Atkinson of Hull and a member of a well-known West Riding family. On 16 July, 1590, M" Anthony A tk ynson of Kingston upon Hull, and M'"* Helyn Ayre (Eyre) were married " by zertue of a license ' at the Parish Church of Leeds.

11. BAILDON.

'XT*hat the Baildon family at one time possessed considerable property in the neigh- t>ourhood of Kirkburton, can be seen from their name having been given to a brook (Beldon brook) which forms the entire northern boundary of Kirkburton parish s here it adjoins Lepton township. The stream flows from Flockton parish ; it runs from east to west ; it enters Kirkburton parish where the land is 600 feet above the sea, and leaves it after a course of about two miles, where the ground has lowered to 300 feet. Early marriages of the Baildons are with families whose names are familiar in Kirkburton history. Walter Calverley, living in 1429, married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Thomas Markinfield. Walter's sister, married John Paslewe. The sons and daughters of Walter Calverley and Elizabeth Markinfield were-Amice, married to Robert Baildon, son and heir of Nicholas Baildon. William Calverley, alias Scott, married Agues, daughter of Sir John Tempest. Thomas Calverley married Agnes, Aaughter of Sir Richard Scargill. Alice Calverley married Gilbert, son of Gilbert de Legh of Middleton, parish of Rothwell, near Leeds. Nicholas Fitz William of Bentley, one and a half miles from Doncaster, and of Emley, two miles from Kirkburton, died 8 April, 1526. He married Alice, daughter of Robert Baildon of Baildon, and by her had Nicholas Fitz William of Bentley, whose Will was dated in 1554, who married a daughter of William Tyas of Tickhill, seven miles from Doncaster, by whom Nicholas Fitz William of Bentley, who married Elizabeth, daughter of Roger Wentworth of South Kirkby, whose niece Jane Went. worth married Robert 'I'riggott, Lord of the Manor of Kirkburton. - About this same time, also, Matthew Wentworth was married, in 1571, to Dorothy Charlesworth of Kirkburton parish. In 1583, Thomas Tyas married Agnes Lindley at Kirkburton. The Rev. Samuel Simpson, Vicar of Blythe, cou. Notts, buried there 26 Feb. 1632-3, married Faith, daughter of Alexander Nevile of Wistow, co. Notts, by whom William Simpson of Sheffield, who married Elizabeth, daughter of William Lindle of Hull, sister of Francis Lindley of Bowling. William Simpson and Elizabet Lindley were parents of Elizabeth, who married Henry Wood of Barnsley, a son of Robert Wood of Monk Bretton by Jane, daughter of John Stocks, twice Mayor of Doncaster. Robert Wood was great-uncle to John Wood of Royston, who, in 1669, married Susauna Roebuck of Kirkburton. In 1582, John Baildon and Elizabeth Lindley were married at Kirkburton. Re- membering that Hull was then the only sea-port for West Riding manufacturers, it is not improbable that the branches of the Lindley, Armitage and Stevenson families, who settled about this time in Hull, were from Kirkburton parish. The pedigree of Popeley of Woolley in Royston parish also contains Kirkburton family names. Thomas Popeley, temp. Hen. VII. of Birstal, married Elizabeth, daughter of Laurence Stainton of Woolley. Their son John Popely married Elizabeth Nevile of Liversedge, by whom Robert Popeley, who married Anne, daughter of Thomas Wentworth of Bretton ; which Anne was aunt to Matthew Wentworth, who married Dorothy Charlesworth of Kirkburton parish, This Anue married, secondly, Henry Batte. Robert Popeley and Anne Wentworth were the parents of John Popeley, who married, first, Mary, daughter of William Batte ; and, secondly, Jane Savile, who survived him, and then married William Baildon of Baildon. John Popeley's sister Isabel married John Brook; his sister Mary married Robert Green ; bis sister Anne married Henry Nettleton-all Kirkburton names. Iu 1555, John Popeley and Agnes Chappell had a child baptised at Kirkburton. That the Popeleys were connected with Kirkburton parish is further shown by

Jane Wood married John Baildon of Hollingburst, who died in 1810; Susanna married Richard Baildon of Royston ; and Elizabeth married John Stocks of Royston. These three ladies were the only asters of Sir George Wood, Kt., Baron of the Exchequer, who died in 1824. They descended from George Wood of Monk Bretton, who was also the ancestor of the present Viscount Halifax. Elizabeth Baildon, a daughter of Richard Baildon and Susanua Wood, married Edward Taylor Roberts of Farnley Tyas, whose brother, Jonathan William Roberts, married Abigail, a daughter of John Stocks and Elizabeth Wood, by whom a daughter Lhzabeth who has resided at The Grange, Kirkburton, since her marriage in 1849 to M" Richard Dickinson.

Besides the mention of Adam Baildon who witnessed the will of John Armitage of Busker in 1753, vide p. cxxxii, there is an inscription in High Hoyland churchyard to " Grace, wife of Thomas Beldon of High Bridge Mill, who had issue by her husband two sons and six daughters, and departed this life 9 August, 1726, aged 46," There is no mention of a Baxldon at High Hoyland in anes Directory for 1822 ; but in White's Directory for 1838, appears the name of Daniel Baildon, farmer and maltster ; this Daniel was of the Roystone branch, and was one of the sons of John Baildon by Jane, daughter of the Rev.

12. BAILEY.

Between the years 1560 and 1591 there are frequent notices in registers and deeds of a John Bailey of Honley. His wife was Margaret Marsh, the eldest of the fire daughters of Robert Marsh by his wife Margaret Allott, the daughter of Robert Allott of Bentley (parish of Emley), whose wife, Johanna Charlesworth, was one of the four great co-heiresses of Totties in Kirkburton parish In the Almondbury registers the names of John Bailey and his wife Margaret occur frequently, and owe their appear- ance there to the good custom then prevailing of baptism entries containing the names of the godparents. A few of the entries are here given. '"Feb. 1559-60, Edward, the son of James Hayghe of Meltham, was baptised 218 day. Sponsors, Join Bagleyc. Edward Taylyer and Agnes Oldfelde, Dec 1565, John, son of John Armitage of Armitage, was baptised 16th day.

Sponsors, Thomas Taylier, Margaret Bayleye, and Anne, wife of James Armitage. Sept., 1589, Margaret, daughter of Nicholas Armitage, was baptised 28" day. Sponsors, John Armitage, Margaret Bayley and Alicia Lockwood." John Bailey's connection with Kirkburton parish is shown by some Deeds. The family of Marsh, to which his wife belonged, had been in Thurstonland township in Kirkburton jurist: since very early times ; their name appears in the Poll Tax Roll for 1379. John Bailey's presence in that township is seen by some notes on some Deeds, executed in 1575, concerning Bankend, a place which had formerly been held of " the Commandery of Newland, or, St. John of Jerusalem," the same community to whom had also belonged the Hermitage in South Crosland. "J. Walker his lease of y® ould hoyle yoghe unto Arthur Bynnes, date y° 4° of January in the 17° of the ° Queenes Raigne, Eliz: 1574-5. J. Kay, Esq., and Jo: Baylie their bond for pease- able and quiet possession y® 20 of January Anno Eliz : 17, 1574-5. J.

Soe that Walker lease the first y°® 4° January, the bond for peaseable possio : y* 20 January. All in y* year 17 of Eliz: the release y® 12 of June. 1575." And Storthes deed and y* bonds y® 8 of November. Of this estate, Bankend in Thurstonland, many interesting particulars are given in Dr. Morehouse's History of Kirkburton. . A little earlier than the date of the above transactions, John Bailey appears, by another deed, as an agent for Sir Robert Stapleton, the lord of the Manor of Honley. " In 1570, Sir Robert Stapleton of Wighall sells to John Wilson of Honley, husband- man, messuage and lands in Honley near the water of Colne One close is called Park Rydings abutting on Almondbury Park ; makes John Ermitage and JoAn Bayley his attornies to deliver possession. Wighall, 12 Oct. 12 Eliz. 1570." In 1571, "Robert Wheatley and James Charlesworth grant to Jokn Baylye a messuage in Hanley alias Honley, and Netherton which we late recovered ,in the Queen's Court at Westminster against said John, by the name of the Chapel, 2 mes- suages, &c. Dated 10 Nov. 13 Eliz. 1571." Sometime in Michaelmas Term, 13 & 14 Eliz., between 24 October and 21 December, 1571, John Bayly had been the plaintiff, and Robert StapylIton, Kt., and Katherine and Marmaduke Slyngsby, Esq., and Elizabeth his wife, the deforciants, concerning " a chapel and 2 messuages with lands in Hanley als. Honley and Netherton." In 1573, according to a Fine in Easter Term, 15 Eliz. John Kaye, Esq., (of Wood- some, the same with whom he was associated in the Thurstonland transaction) and John Bayley were the plaintiffs ; and Robert Stapleton, Kt., and Marmaduke Slingsby Eaq., were the deforciants concerning the Manor of Honley, and lands &c., in Honley, Netherton and Oldfield with view of frank pledge, &c. Robert and Marmaduke acknowledge receipt of John Kay and receive 130 marks. On 17 May, 1577, John Bailey of Honley bought of Sir Robert Stapleton the chief rents of Honley, of which place John Bailey was one of the chief tenants; (see ante pp. lxi, lxii, lxxxvii and lxxxix.) In 1591, the notes of another deed bring him in touch again with Kirkburton. " John Baylye of Honley, yeoman, 7 January, 1590-1, 33 Eliz. offered to Mary Baylye his daughter, and to Robert Marsh, Robert Mokeson and John Lockwood 10® to make void an indenture, &c." Robert Marsh was probably John Bailey's father-in-law, whose Will was dated ten years after this time, 3 August, 1601, and proved 2 Aug., 1602. John Lockwood of Slaughthwaite was brother-in-law to John Bailey's wife, having married Anne Marsh, the third daughter of Robert Marsh. Robert Mokeson was own brother-in-law to John Bailey, and a Kirkburton man ; he resided at Yew Tree, a homestead close to the parish church. Robert Mokeson married Jane Bailey

at Kirkburton on 1 July, 1571, (no : 2786, vol. 1. KB. Reg.) About 1600, according to Paver's Marriage Licences, John Bailey's only child and heir, Mary Bailey, married Thomas Nettleton of Thornhill (see ante p. Ixxxix). In the Almondbury Registers for 1563, there is the entry on the 30 May of the bap tism of Walter, son of John Wilson of Honley ; the sponsors were Walter Beaumont. Thomas Hanson, and " Jana Brylye uz : Georgij.' George Bayley married Johanm Bolland at Kirkburton on 8 June, 1562, (no : 1957). It may have been the descen- dants of this George and Jane Bailey who came to reside in KB. parish some mxty years after this marriage, for there are no entries of this family between these dates : and in 1688 and in 1751, they are Baileys of Almondbury parish, according to the marriage registers, who are married in Kirkburton Church.

After the marriages of George Bailey and Jane Bailey in 1562 and 1571, and the burial of a John Barley or Bailey in 1627, the next entry concerning this family is in 1630, when Jane, daughter of John Bailey, was baptised and buried in the month of January. John, sou of John Bailey, was baptized in 1633. - Margaret and Grfnce, daughters of John Bailey, were baptised in 1636 and 1638. George his son, baptised in 1641, was buried in 1644. Grace, wife of John Bailey of Hepworth Fieldheads, was buried 12 January, 1663. John Bailey of Fieldheads was buried 7 March, 166.4. Fieldhead in Hepworth is about quarter of a mile due east of Bowshaw Reservoir, and quarter of a mile to the north of the Holmfirth and Penistone road. The land i here about 1,000 feet above the sea. John Bailey and Mary Nicholls were married in April, 1647. Humphrey Brooke of Thurstonland and Mary Bailey of Hepworth, spinster, were ' according to the Commonwealth custom, in April, 1654. . George Tinker and Howcroft Bailey were published in November, 1658, and married the following February. William Haigh and Grace Bailey were married in 1660. John Bailey and Sarah Berry were married in 1655, Robert, son of John Bailey, was bapt. May, 1665. Sarah, his daughter, was baptised at Holmfirth Chapel in 1667. Mary, his daughter, was buried in 1668. Josuah, his son, was bapt. in 1670 at Holmfirth Chapel. It is of interest here in giving the place of these baptisms, to note that this was about the time when the Petition had been granted for Holmfirth Chapel to become a Parish Church, in so far that the burials and baptisms could take place there, on account of the long distance to Kirkburton and Almondbury Churches. Fieldheads is about two miles from Holmfirth Chapel, and more than five miles, in a straight line, from Kirkburton Church. John Bailey was buried 14 August, 1674. Sarah Bailey, widow, was buried 28 Feb. 1675. , Abraham Bailey of Almondbury parish, and Anne Shaw of this parish, were married at Kirkburton in January, 1688. Caleb Bailey, and Anne Hirst were married here in June, 1691, and from them the line is clear for four or five generations ; they had six children; Mary, baptised from Lamwells in April, 1692, married John Dyson in September, 1715. Abrakam, bap tised in 1695 from 'the Crosse,' a homestead about a mile south-east of Holmfirth. Joseph, baptised from the same place in 1697. Caleb, baptised in 1700 from Wick- leden, which is still farther to the south-east of Crosse, and one-and-a-half mile from Holmfirth town. Joshua was baptised from Wickleden in 1702 ; and Martha, from the same place in 1705 ; she married James Dyson in November, 1724, and it was from her house, Foster Place in Hepworth, that her father was buried in December, 1740. Anne, wife of Caleb Bailey, had been buried in February, 1716. These four sons were the forefathers of the various branches of the Bailey family in Woldale, Hepworth and Holmfirth. - Abraham Bailey, the eldest son of Caleb Bailey, and Anne (Hirst), baptised in 1695, married Sarsh Beaumont in 1724; and by her had three sons. JoscpA was baptised in 1725 from Arrunden in Carthworth. Arrunden is a mile to the south of Holmfirth, and is on the west side of the river Ribble which joins the river Holm at Holmfirth. Benjamin was baptised in 1726 from Woldale ; and Abrakam was bap tised in 1730 from Lidget in Woldalee Abraham Bailey died in 1739; his widow married George Hollingworth in July, 1743.

Of the three sons of Abraham Bailey and Sarah (Beaumont), Benjamin, the second son. baptised in 1726, and thirteen years old at the death of his father, is said in the register to be of Almondbury at the time of his marriage at Kirkburton in 1751 to Sarah Barrowclough of this parish, whose fumily lived in and in which township Benjamin Bailey then took up his residence.

18. BARBER.

The Barbers do not appear in the Kirkburton Registers until 1582, when Richard, son of Richard Barber, was baptised. The Ecclesfield Registers show so many points of connection with Kirkburton families, that it appears not improbable that the Richard Barber who settled in this parish was the Richard Barber who married Jane Revell at Bradfield on 17 June, 1571, (Gatty's Eccdlesfeld Registers); and that as mentioned in that work, pages 114 and 120, Richard Barber was the younger son of Roger Barber of Wadsley, which Roger was probably also the father of John Barber of Wadsley, whose Will was made in 1585. At this time there was a very strong connection between the two parishes, for John Tyas, the Vicar of Keclesfheld from 1549 to 1580, was of the family of that name at Oxlee in Hepworth in Kirk- burtou parish ; there were Rarbers at Oxlee at a later time. Five months after the baptism at Kirkburton of Richard Barber's son ltichard, is the entry of the burial of Jenett Barber in January, 1582-3, probably the abore Jane or Jenett Revell. (There had been an earlier marriage between bers and Revells. Thomas Revell, living temp. Edw. VI. had a son, Gregory Revell, who married Elizabeth Barber, daughter of Thomas Barber.) In 1586, Kichard Barber married Margaret Twedge, or Twigge, a name that belonged also to Ecclesfield parish. Robert, son of Richard Barber, was beptised in 1589 ; Elizabeth, his daughter, in 1592 ; Isabel, baptised in 1594, died in 1597 ; Jane, baptised in 1596, died in August, 1597; George was baptised in February, 1598-9 ; and Susanna in 1602. Richard Barber was buried in November, 1615. Hs

son, Richard, baptised in 1582, and now about 34 years of age, had a daughter Grace baptised in 1616. Richard Barber was buried in 1647. Elizabeth Barber, widow, was buried in January, 1655-6. George Barber, baptised in 1599, the second son of Richard Barber by Margaret T'wigge, had a daughter Margaret, baptised in 1627; Annis was baptised in 1637-8 ; and Jenett in 1641, Esther, wife of George Barber, was buried 10 May, 1671. At this time George Barber was living in Thurstonland ; he was there taxed for one hearth in 1666. George Barber was buried 22 May, 1673. In 1676, Jennet Barber, probably the daughter of George Barber, inptised in 1641, married John Ainley of Almondbury parish ; this was perhaps the cause that brought the Ainleys into residence at Thurstonland. It is of interest here to note that in the township of Thurstonland where the Barbers had been residing, there was land belonging to the Barbers of Gawber Hall in the parish of Darton, who were descended from the Dodaworths of Shelley, the adjacent township to Thurstonland. Anne Dodsworth, born in 1499, married John Jenkinson who died in December, 1566 ; their son, Ralph Jenkinson, died in June, 1590, leaving two daughters, one of whom married Robert Barber, of a Derbyshire family, who died at Gawber Hall 23 October, 1619. The next entries of this name in the Kirkburton Registers refer to John Barber who married Martha Allen of the parish of Cawthorne on 3 November, 1685. They lived at Woodend in Thurstonland, and Martha their daughter was baptised from there in March, 1690. Between February, 1691-2, and April, 1699, the burials of seven '" chrisom " children of John Barber of Woodend are recorded. Sarah, wife of John Barber of Thurstonland, was buried in January, 1706-7. The change in the Christian name may have been a mistake in the registering. In 1720, John Barber of Almondbury parish married Elizabeth Mitchell of this parish. Mary, daughter of John Barber of Thurstiland was baptised in March 1720-1. Adam Eastwood, widower, and Anne Barber, spinster, both of thu. parish, were married in October, 1723. George Batty and Ruth Barber were married in September, 17 3a.

15. BARNSLEY.

In early times, the lords of Kirkburton Manor owned land also in Barnslcy, and the surnaine probably aruse by some one coming from the estate there, to live on the lord's estate in this parish. In 1359, long after the Burtons had divided into two branches, one remaining in Burton, and one residing in Gunthwaite, near in this year, Henry Darcy, citizen of London, and grandson of a Darcy who married into the Burton family, gave to John de Gounildthwayte, son and heir of Roger de Gounildthwayte, all lands, &c. which he had in Burton, Barnsley and Keresforth. This land at Barnsley can be traced back to a still earlier time, when Will 'filius Custancie de Keveresforth gave to Thomas dicto Ballivo de Berneslay a meadow infra divisas de Kcecveresforth de Berneslay, with his share of the dovecote at Keresforth ; and Thomas dictus Ballivus de Berneslay gave to Roger de Gunulthwaite totam partem meam mumnerii de Keveresforth cum edificiis, &oc., and the third part of the dovecote of the said manor, which he had of the gift of Jolin, son of Robert and of William son of Custance de Wiggefall infra divisas de Keveresford in Berneslay. Before the Conquest, Keresford and Barnsley formed together but one Manor. In the Poll-tax return in 1379 for Holmfirth district appear the names of John de Bernesley and his wife. In 1490, a John Barnesley was one of the fourteen wardens for the parish of Kirkburton. In 1524, one of the payers towards the King's Subsidy in the district of Holmfirth has had his name printed as Robert Brueshay- an unknown name-this is most likely Robert Barnsley ; he paid 168 for lands tazed at 26% 84, at the rate of 1" in the £. Robert Barnsley's name is one of the first in the Registers of 1540-1, when. his daughter Agnes is mentioned ; his daughter Klizabeth was baptised in 1543.

The recurrence of the name Phcebe in the Kirkburton family can he noted. In 1632, when tobacco was only allowed to be sold by certain certified persons, the Halifax certificate for sale of tobacco was signed by John Gibson, Bailiff ; John Crosland and Richard Barraclough, Constables, who recommend three dealers. The first appearance of the Barraclough name in the Kirkburton Registers is in 10656, when the Agreement of Marriage between Robert Barraclough and Mary Hinch- cliffe, both of this parish, was published on May 18 and 25, and 1 June. In 1667-8, Abraham Barraclough was buried here on 9 January. In 1681, on 28 July, Edward Barraclough (of Newmill township) married Sarah T1I-bson, and had Elizabeth, baptised in 1682, who married Samuel Johnson of New Mill in 1706; Anne, daughter of Edward Barraclough of Newmill, was baptised in Holmfirth Chapel on 10 Oct. 1686 ; Sarah was baptised in :'689, and by John Boocock f Marton parish, near Skipton, had Sarah, baptised in 1719.

Edward Barraclough was Churchwarden in 1718-19; he died in February, 1732, and was buried from Newmill. Susanna, his widow, died in 1741. Their son John, baptised in 1704, was of Sandal Magna parish in 1725, at the time of his marriage here to his cousin (?) Anne, daughter of Robert Barraclough of Hollin- greave in Fulston township. The Banns for this marriage were certified by the Rev. Charles Zouch, Vicar of Sandal Magna, Jonas, son of Anne Barraclough of Shepley by Joshua Earnshaw, gone to be a soldier, was baptised in 1708 ; in May, 1761, Jonas Barraclough was buried from Joseph Hirst's of Shelley. The marriage does not appear in these Registers of Robert Barraclough of Hollingreave in Fulston ; he and the above Edward of Newmill were perhaps the sons of Robert Barraclough of 1656 by his wife Mary Hinchcliffe. Robert Barraclough of Hollingreave had Sarah baptised in 1687 ; she married Thomas Hatfield of Lidgate in Woldale in 1713, but died the following year.

Anue, daughter of Robert, was baptised in 1706, and Joskua, in 1708. Elizabeth, wife of Robert Barraclough of Hollingreave was buried 3 July, 1731; Robert Barroughclough was buried 19 August, 1741. He appears to have been Constable or Bailiff for his district, from the mention of various travellers or homeless persons dying at his house. - Besides the abovementioned sons, there were three, i.e., Jonathan Barraclough who had Sarah in 1728 by Elizabeth Joseph of Grange in Thustonland; James Barraclough of Woldale and Robert Barraclough of Shepley, who must have been sons either of Edward or of Robert Barraclough, and born probaoly between 1693 and 1701.

BARROW.

For the sake of uniformity, the name throughout the above account, has beeo spelt Barraclough, but in the Registers the name is frequently written and a tendency to shorten other long names, such as Hebble for Hebblethwaite, makes it seein probable that Barrow was originally a contraction of Barrowclough ; and in favour of this theory, it is the case that the Barrows were unknown in hirk- burton parish until after the Barrowcloughs were settled here. James Barrow and Martha Wood, both of this parish, were married in May, 1744 : they lived at Cinderhills in Woldale, and had Thomas bapt,. in 1745 ; and James oe 10 June, 1749.

17. BATES.

The first entry concerning this family is on July 25, 1604, when a chrieom child Sybil Whewell and Michael Bates was buried. They were both strangers to Kirk: burton, judging from the Registers, or certainly did not belong to old resident families. These two Christian names are together in a transaction in 1601, when Juhn Hargraves, junior, was the plaintiff, and Michael Bates and Sibill his wife were the deforciants in the sale of a cottage with lands in Norland, in Halifax parish, seven miles from Huddersfield. The next entry in these Registers is in 1668, when Alice, wife of John Bates, was buried. In 1670, John, son of Jane Browne and John Butes, was baptised. Twenty years afterwards, in 1691, Ann, daughter of John Bates, was baptised. John had married Martha. . . . but the marriage is not in these Registers. John and Martha Bates resided at Smith Mill, a Corn Mill now known as Dickinson's Mill, at Th'under Bridge, in Shelley township; this Mill, in 1693, paid 2s. 6d. as © Easter reckoning ' to the Vicar of Kirkburton. Jane Bates of Smith Milne was buried in May, 1697 ; she was probably the Jane Browne of the 1670 entry, and would be the mother of John Bates, junior, as he was called up to 1695. The daughter Ann, bap tised in 1691, married Benjamin Thewlis in 1720. The other children of John and Martha Bates were Matthew, baptised in 1693 ; John in 1695; Jane, baptised in 1698, married Bartholomew Hoyle, as his second wife, in 1747 ; Elizabeth, baptised in 1701, married George Haigh in 1725 ; Joseph was baptised in 1704; Mary in 1707, and Phoebe in 1709. John Bates of Thunder-brigge in Shelley died in September, 1721, Martha Bates of Thunder-brigge, widow, was buried in March, 17833. Their eldest son, Matthew, baptised in 1693, married Elizabeth Booth in 1718 ; they lived in Shepley for about seven years, and then removed to Thunder-bridge. The children of Matthew and Elizabeth were Jchn, baptised in 1720; Abraham in 1722; Sarah in 1725 ; Hannah in 1727 ; Phoebe, baptised in 1731, married Jame Haigh in 1758; Betty was baptised in 1734. Elizabeth, wife of Matthew Bates of Causey (Causeway) Foot, was buried in November, 1785. Matthew married Grace Broadhead in October, 1746; on 28 July, 1747, Grace, wife of Matthew Bates of Thunder-bridge was buried; her infant daughter was named Grace on the same day. Matthew Bates married Mary Laycock in February, 1748, and by her bad Mary (baptised in 1750) and Matthew (in 1754). Matthew Bates of Thunder-bridge died in June, 1759. Isaac Wood of Ealand (Elland), parish of Halifax, and 5 miles from Huddersfield, married Martha Bates of this parish in September, 1743, the Banus being certified by A. Scholefield, Curate there. Abraham Bates, of the parish of Cawthorn, and Sarah Morton of this parish, were married by Mr. Radcliffe's certificate, Curate there, in October, 1748. Matthew, son of Abraham Bates, of Shelley, was baptised in 1749.

Joseph Wood and Grace Bates (daughter of Matthew) were married in July, 1771 ; present were Joseph Green and Joseph Lockwood. John Schofield of Almondbury parish, son of John Schofield of Nether Thong, by Jane, daughter of Philip Mitchell, of Penistone, married Mary Bates of this f (daughter of Matthew) in April, 1773. It is of interest in following family histories that Mrs. James Armitrige, who was probably the widow of Matthew Bates of Thunder-bridge, was buried from Nether Thong, the home of her daughter, Mary Schofield. Matthew Bates, baptised in 1754, youngest son of Matthew Bates of Thunder- bridge, married Alice Wortley of Shepley in 1778; present at the marriage were Joseph Roberts and Ann Berry.

Bates of Hoimfirth.

Neither the baptism nor the marriage of Benjamin Bates of Greenhill Bank in Woldale appears in these Registers; the first entry concerning him is in January, 1746, when Fanny, daughter of Benj : Bates of Holmfirth, was baptised ; this daughter married John Roebuck in April, 1768. There were iwo daughters older than this one ; Mary Bates was married in 1761 to Joshua Booth ; and Hannah, daughter of Benjamin Bates, died March 17, 1804, aged 60 years. and had thus been born in 1745.

Mary wife of John Battye of Scholes was buried September 28, 1695. John Battye was Bailiff for the Graveship of Holme in the Manor of fact to be gleaned from the Registers by occasional entries of the official use of his house by wayfarersa, such as " Anne, daughter of Michael Pashley, formerly of Hepworth, buried from John Battye's house of Scholes in Holm- firth, December 17, 1701." This office was also held by the son and two grandsons of John Battye of Scholes, see Batityes of Hepworth.

These particulars are gathered from two entries in the Registers. " Barbara Batty, spinster, daughter of M'" Gamaliel Batty, late Schoolmaster of Thornhill, was buried from her mother's, M"* Battye's house in Scholes, June 7, 1717." "M" Barbara Batty, widow of M" Gamaliel Batty, Clerk, formerly Curate of Flockton, was buried from her son, John Batty's house of Scholes, 3 November, 1742." The tombstone to Miss Barbara Batty in Kirkburton Church is almost entirely covered by the Fout. The inscription is in Latin and the only words to be now deciphered are :- decor. . . . . . .. na ormnata. Eximiis vero rara senectus Die novissimo vicesimi suae aetates anni haud omuino peracto illa animam - efflavit Pridie Nonarum Junij 1717 Heu qualis rara pietas quam brevis occisa aetas - In a letter dated from Stoney Bank, New Mill, on January 3, 1889, the much regretted Dr. Morehouse, the Historian of Kirkburton parish, wrote thus to the compiler of these Annals,-" I met with an old Book some time since, containing a Memorandum in connection with Kirkburton, which you may think worthy of pre- servation in the Register-though I find I have noted it down for my 2°4 Edition. It is the translation of an Epitaph once over a grave in the Church near to the Fout :- ' Barbara, only daughter of the Rev. M" Gamaliel Battye and of Barbara his faithful Consort, is here interred. She was of pure manners, of an unblemished chastity, of a lively genius, of agreeable beauty, and a fine taste of good Learning embellished all her talents and virtues. . But they who eminently excel are generally short liv'd! The last day of the twentieth year of her age was not quite finished, when she resigned her breath. How rare an instance of early piety, was, alas, in the flower of youth, thus snatched away !' Tie Rev. Gamaliel Battye, her father, formerly Minister of Denby Church, and afterwards of Flockton, was grandfather to John Battye of Scholes who records the

above Epitaph with the following remark 'The Latin was cut upon Aunt Barbara's gravestone in Kirkburton Church near the Font, and composed by (D") Eiths Jackson' of Doncuster ; this translation was also given by him, from which the mid John Battye transcribed it in 1777, at which time he states that ' it was about 5) years previously when the stone had been placed.'"

Battyes of Hepworth.

Hepworth township, on its south-eastern border, adjoins Thurlestone township in Penistone parish. 'This nearness of residence should be remembered in noting the entries concerning the Battyes of Penistone parish. In the Diary of Captain Adam Eyre of Thurlestone, who was married to Susanna Matthewman at Kirkburton Church in October, 1640, there occura the following entry : " May 22, 1647. This morne I went with Edward Mitchell to Thurleston, where we met Edw. Batty and Jo. Miclethwayte, and viewed part of his land which he this day sold to Batty for £182 10s., the one halfe to be payd the next Thursday, and the other halfe at Michmas ; and they are to give bond, one to another, he for security of the land according 'to Mr Broadley's directxon or else to repay the money again ; and Batty,

for the residue of the money." On 24 December, 1678, John Battye and Martha Wordsworth were married. On

1 December, 1734, Francis Battye and Hannah Wordsworth were married. Penistone Registers. The Will of Edward Battye of Dewsbury, dated 17 May, 1779, was proved 5 December, 1786 ; he died 21 May, 1782, at Dewsbury, and was buried there on tbe 241th.

his lands, ercept some in Thurlestone, in Penistone parish, which he gave to his only daughter, Ann, the wife of Mr. Abraham Chamberlain, a merchant of Halifax. Robert Rockley Battye, in 1796, inberited from his uncle, Benjanin Nortb, junior, lands in Almondbury, Xirkburion, Rothwell, Darton and Birstall. In 1887, George Battye of Whitley House, Thurlstone, Penistone, had an Ownersnip Vote for Freehold House, Buildings and Land at Thurskinholes in Hepworth township. The Battyes of Hepworth begin in the Kirkburton Registers in 1570. John Battye of Hepworth had Godfrey baptised 10 March, 1570-1, John on 24 June, 1572 ; Margaret on 24 October, 1574; James on 27 September, 1579, and George on 10 August, 1589.

Of their children, Godfrey was baptised August 22, 1602; John on June 17, 1604 ; Richard ou February 17, 1604-5 ; Grace on February 24, 1605-6 ; and James oun May 17, 1608. James Battye was buried June 23, 1616. Isabel Battye, widow, was buried February 26, 1633-4.

It

may have been this younger son, Edward, who ultimately took up his residence at Thurlestone.

In 1677, John Battye of Hepworth married Elizabeth Gillott. They had Sarah, baptised from Burnt Edge on February 16, 1678-9; Sena baptised from Nab in Hepworth on December 31, 1682 ; Mary baptised from Hepshaw edge in Hepworth on March 8, 1684-5; and Joseph from Nab in Hepworth ou May 8, 1687.

John Battye of TAhurlestone in Penistone parish, stapler, and Mary Mellor of Barnside in Hepworth, widow, were married by license at Kirkburton, 3 March, 1723-4. His age given at tne time of his death in 1770 points with almost certainty to his parentage ; he appears to have been John, baptised in May, 1683, son of John Battye of Scholes, by his second wife, Mary. Mary Mellor was the daughter of William Bever of Barnside ; she was baptised in 1699, and would be thua about sixteen years younger than her second husband ; her first marriage was in 1719 to John Mellor who died in March, 1723 ; her residence all her life, through girlhood and through two inarriages, was at Barnaide. By her first husband she had two sons ; by her second husband she had seven children, and these were Mary, baptised on January 9, 1724-5; Joseph on August 6, 1726 ; Benjamin on October 6, 1728 ; a chrisom child buried on March 29, 1731 ; Mary, baptised on November 4, 1782 ; Hannab, buried on August 15, 1733 ; and James, buptised on August 17, 1735.

of Hepworth township, and nearer to Penistone parish. The land here is treeless moorland, and the B. M. ranges from 1110 to 1164. Benjamin and Elizabeth Battye had Mary baptised on March 24, 1654, from Dickedge in Hepworth ; John, from Maythorn in Fulstoue. in April, 1756 Benjamin in January, 1759 ; and Jouph in October 1761. Elizabeth, wife of Benjamin Battye of Maythorne in Fulstone, was buried March 9, 1764. Benjamin Battye married Mary Wood in November, 1765 ; present at the marriage were George Wood and Joseph Battye. Benjamin Bettye went to reside at Sledbrovuk in Hepworth township, a little to the south-west of Maythorne, and had eight children baptised from here. George in April, 1768 ; Jonathan in June, 1771 (" Jonathan, son of Benjamin Battye of Maythorne in Fulatone,"' was buried in August, 1814, aged 43) ; Hannah was baptised in December, 1773 Ruth in June, 1776 ; Martha in Ma y, 1778 ; Sarah in December, 1780 ; Jonas in June, 1783 ; and Alice in September, 1786. Mary Battye of Maythorn was buried in September, 1825 aged 78 ; she would probably be the above Mary Wood married in 1765 to Benjamin Battye of Maythorne, most of whose children spent their lives at Maythorne and not at Sledbrook. The youngest son of this large family, Jonas, baptised in 1783, took up his residence at Thuskinholes in Hepworth township, about half-a-mile from Maythorn Jonas Battye married Tabxtha Castle in September, 1806, probably a first marriage.

Jonas Battye of Thuskinholes in Hepworth was buried in February, 1829, aged 45. It may be presumed that George, baptised in 1319, son of Jonas, son of Benjamin, son of John Battye of Barnside and Thurlestone, is the George Battye of 1887 who lived at Thurlestone and owned land at Thuskinholes. In August, 1838, Jonathan Battye, son of Jonas Battye of Thuskinholes, married Hannah Micklethwaite, daughter of Jouathan Micklethwaite.

Joseph Battye was still at Milshaw in February, 1774 ; when there is an entry in the Registers concerning a wayfarer at the Bailiff's official residence. Joseph Battye's eldest son John was living at Maythorne, and here Joseph's death occurred, according to the Register. "Joseph Battye of Maythorne, son of Joshua Battye of Newmill, death sudden, aged 79, was buried 12 March, 1778." The various holders in the Battye family of the post of Bailiff of the Manor of Wakefield are here noted, as gathered from the Registers, 1.

Joseph Battye, brother to the last Bailiff, held the office from 1733 to at least 1774, and probably to his death in 1778. These dates show a period of about a hundred years in which this responsible office was held by members of the Battye family. John Battye, the eldest son of Joseph, resided at Maythorne in Fulstone, under which township his history is recorded. Other Buttyes in Hepworth township were James Battye of Hayslacks whose son John was baptised March 10, 1699-1700, and buried in September, 1704 ; and Joshua Battye of Hayslacks, whose daughter Sarah was baptised Fybruary 3, 1754.

20. BEAUMONT.

Hitherto, the earliest known in the pedigree of the Beaumont family has been William of 1200, who, between 1206-1211, received from his superior lord, loger ds Laci, Constable of Chester, and lord of Pontefract, the gift of 12 buovates, out of the 48 of land in Huddersfield (Mr. Q. W. Tomlinson's account of the Perumont Family, Yorks. Arch,. Journal, vol. viii). The holder of land in Huddersfield would have command of the road leading from his lord's castle at Halton in Cheshire to his castle at Pontefract; and there was also the honourable condition attached to this holding in Huddersfield, that the tenant had to supply the escort, or conveyance of the lord's despatches to his Cheshire Castle (A. J. vol. ii-15\. Of this William de Benumont of 1200 it is recorded that he had been in the Holy Land with his lord, Roger de Laci, during the Crusade in the reign of Richard L., 1189-1199 {ARer. C. 7. Prott's History of Cawthorne). 'The second William de Beaumont who succeeded his father about 1218, received from John de Montbegon (the childless son of Roger de Montbegon who died in 1228, and who was a grandson of Adam Fitz Swein of Bretton), the assurance that failing an heir of his own body, he would grant to William de Beaumont the Montbegon land in Whitley. - This gift was confirmed by the superior lord, John de Laci, Earl of Lincoln, between 1232 and 1240. WAy John de Montbegon treated William de Beaumont as of near kin and made him his heir, gives the clue to the ancestry of William de Beaumont. The rent that William had to pay, one pair of white gloves, shows that he was considered one of the family, and that the revut was not a question of l. s. d. It appears by investigation that both John de Montbegon and William de Beaumont were descended from the Saxon thane, Adam Fits Swein de Brettou. John de Montbegon was the son of Roger, who was the son of Adam de Montbegon, by Maud, one of the two daughters of Adam Fitz Swein. William de Beaumont of 1218 was the son of William de Beaumont of 1200, alias William Fits Adam de Bretton ; Adam de Bretton of 1176 was one of the sons of Richard of 1158, one of

the two sons of Adam Fitz Swein Fitz Ailric. It will have been noticed that the lands held by Robert de Beaumont of 1323,

Croslund, Meltham, Whitley and South Kirkby, had been held at Domesday, 1086, by Ailric or by his son Swein. In Crosland, the king had one carucate, and had two carucates of land. In Meltham, Cola and Swein had four carucates. - In Whitley, Gerneber had, in Edward the Confessor's time, five carucates of land for geld, where two ploughs may be. Now, 1086, Gamel and Elric (Ailric) have four villanes there,

with four ploughs four acres of meadow there ; wood, pasturable, one leuga in

Page 485

ength and one in breadth. Of South Kirkby, the Domesday record is, "In Ermshale nd Torp and Cherchebi (South Kirkby), and Frickehale (Frickley) Suen and Archil had leven carucates of land for geld.'' All the abovementioned lands became part of the roememsmsions of the Norman lord, Ilbert de Laci, who appears to have treated the ramnguished Saxons on his lands with kindness, for Ailric and Swein were allowed to eep many of their lands as tenants. Of South Kirkby, Leland writes in his itinerary, that Ailric, a Saxon, the father of Sweyn, possessed the Castle of Kirkby, r Pontefract, before the Conquest, which being a place of strength fit to protect the northern parts, William gave to Ilbert de Laci. Of Ailric, M" R. Holmes, an »xpert student of early Yorkshire history, writes, " In Elric there is no difficulty in identifying Ailric of Staincross (wapentake), the fabled possessor of Pontefract itself. He had been before the Conquest one of the largest owners in all Yorkshire, with manors in many parts of the broad county, and though indeed deprived of most of them by the revolution which had taken place, he retained several, some even as a King's Thane, that is with no intermediate lord between himself and his royal master." 'The names of the eldest son and grandson of Ailric are well known, Swein Fitz- Ailric, and Adam Fitz Swein. Before his death in 1158, Adam Fitz Swein founded the Priory of Monk Bretton, and endowed it with land or tithes in more than sixty places-a truly royal offering ; most of these places were in the wapentake of Stain- cross, but some were in Lancashire. It has been said that Adam Fitz Swein left only two daughters, because the greater part of his immense possessions went to the Norman lords who married the Saxon heiresses. - There are, fortunately, still two deeds extant (to be found in Hunter's South YorksAire), in which Adam's sons and grand- zoms are named ; both deeds are in connection with Monk Bretton Priory, and one was witnessed at Bretton, Adam Fitz Swein's chief residence ; and the other in Cumberland where this Saxon chief also poskessed land. The first one was the foundation deed of Monk Bretton Priory, and was wituessed by " Alexander and Richard, sons of tke founder ; Efwardus de Almaneburi and Robert his brother ; Dolphin de Alvelai, William and Henry his sons, and Siwardus his brother ; Herbert the priest ; Thomas de Darton ; Bernard de Silkston and Richard his son ; Alan de Bretton, and Adam and Richard his brothers ; Richard, son of Harding, and his brother ; with Matthew de Oxspring, Swein de Holland, and Aelsi Bacun." The second deed was witnessed in Cumberland by " Henry, brother to the founder; Rainald, Prior of Wederhall ; Walter, Ais grandson; Gospatrick, the son of Orm ; Alan, his grandson," and others. Alan, Adam Fitz Swein's grandson, will be Alan de Bretton of the first deed, with Adam and Richard as his brothers. In Hunter's South YorksAktre, vol. ii, 356, is the account of Hunshelf, where Ailric had three carucates before the Conquest ; he continued to hold them of Ilbert de Laci to whom they had been given; and in his posterity Hunshelf descended, from the Nevilles, in the line of the lords of Heton (Kirkheaton). Hunshelf is in the parish of Penistone, which parish belonged to Ailric, both before and after the Conquest, and he held it as a King's Thane. " Richard de Hundechelf gives to Richard Fuz Adam and his heirs, pasture for all his cattle within the limits of the pasture of Hunshelf, which is between the rivulet of Birchworth on the one part, and Holkesdon on the other; and between the water of Mikel Don (the greater Don), on the south, and the territory of Snowden-hill on the west, at the rent of unum obolum argenti,' a small silver coin about three cents in value. This is another instance of a nominal rent being asked from one who was the real owner of the lands, but from being a Saxon, was obliged to appear as a tenant. The name of William Fitz Adam, grandson of above Richard Fitz Adam Fitz Swein, appears in many charters of about 1200. "Know, &c., that I, Thomas de Burgh, grant to Matthew de Shepley in consideration of homage and service Hayam de Kestebrough which I had for my part, against (abutting on ?) the land which {Valium Fitz Adam held of the grant of Sir Roger de Montbeyon, which land adjoins the said Haye de Kestebrough towards the north, at the 20th part of a knight's fee.

It may be noted that Thomas de Burgh held one knight's fee in Shepley, and that in it was included Westroyds, " which was of his manor of Cawthorne ;" see account of fr John Armituge of Kirklees in these family histories: Matthew de Shepley, son of Hugh de Shepley, was a knight, and witnessed a charter of the Countess D'Eu in 1219, together with her uncle, William, Earl de Warrenune, whose Seneschal he is said to have been, 4.J., vol. viii, 23°. William Fits William of Emley, a Sazon like William Fits Adam de Bretton, was near neighbour to the Brettons (Beaumonts) of Whitley. Sir John de Rockley, eldest son of Robert Fitz William Fits Godric of Emley, gare to the monks of Bretton land in Worsbrough, in the time of Sir Roger de Montbegon, who died in 1228 ; the deed was witnessed by " William Fitz William ; Willian Fitz Adam ; Henry de Tancresley," &c. Hunter's South Yorks, vol. ii, 2%3. On p. 384 of same volume is a deed witnessed by " Sir Thomas de Burgh ; Guido de Longvilers ; Peter de Birkethwaite ; Henry de Tankersley ; John de Rockley ; Wallienm de Bretton ; Roger de Notton," &c. The second William de Rretton witnessed a Whitley deed about 1230. " William, son of Alan de Witteley, gave to God and St. Mary and the monks of Bellaland 2 bovates of land in the towne of Wittelsy with the tofts and crofts to the sail bovates belonging and one rood of land in the territory of the said towne, &c., «li which they had to farme of Alan, my father.

William, son of Peter, son of Orm, confirmed his father's gift of land in Bretton to Byland Abbey, and to this deed were witnesses, " Sir de Bretton ; Sir Robert de Holland : Michael de Breretwisell ; Hugh, son of Swein de Bretton," &c. Robert de Stapleton gave land at Cudworth to Bretton Priory, and the deed was witnessed by Sir John de Hoderude (who died between 1269 and 1272}: William de Wannervile, and Sir William de Bretton. In Mr. Hunter's account of Cumberworth, the Bretton family can be traced from Domesday to 1800. (Cumberworth is partly in the parishes of Kirkburton, Emley and High Hoyland. " Like Bretton, Cumberworth lies upon the boundary line of Staincross and Agbrigg ; and like Bretton, it was in different fees at the time of the Domesday Survey. There was a carucate in Wakefield Soke, and a small portion in the Terra Iiberti, which Leuuin and #lric, the Saxons, had formerly held. Cumher- worth was not granted out after the Conquest as a manor of itself, but was held in part of the lords of Pretton (Adam Fitz Swein Fitz Ailric) ; and in part of the lords of Denby and High From a few early charters the following are extracted : " Sciant, &c., Henr. fil. Rogeri de Serwind de Cumb'wrde quiet. clamavi de me et heredibus meis Domino meo Willielmo de Bretton et heredibus suis, vel cui dare rel assignare voluit, totam terram quam pater mens tenuit in villa de Cambrewrde de predicto Will'o, cum edificiis superstantibus, et ego post decessum patris mei predictam terram tenui," &c. This Henry appears to be the Henry de Fenton of the fcllowing deed, which appears to have been executed about the same time, for Jordan de Heton (Kirkheaton), and Matthew de Shepley witness both deeds. "In the time of Ralph de Horbury, then steward of the Earl de Warrenne, Sir John de Hodernde *' (who was Seneschal of Pontefract in 1252), Matthew de Shepley, and Jordan de Heton, Henry de Fenton quit-claimed to Sir iVilliam de Bretton all right in a bovate at Cumber: worth, which Sir William held of him." " Sciant, &c. Will. de Dronefeld dedi, &c. Thoms de Dronfeud, fratri meo, pro homagio et servitio suo," all my land in

Witnesses, Sir John de Hoderode, then Steward of Pontefract ; Willinm de London, Steward of Wakefield ; Sir Robert de Holland ; Magister Osbernus, persona de Silkiston '' (Rector from 1255 to 1280), &c. What the Dronsfields had at Cumberworth had been possessed before them by the de Brettons, as appears by a deed in Hunter's S. Y., vol. ii, 240. " Omnibus, &c. Ad. de Holaunde, &c., Noveritis, &c.

The witnesses were ir John de Hoderode, then Steward of Pontefract ; Robert de Stapleton ; Thomas de Horbiri ; John de Neyvile ; Baldwinus Teutonicus ; Thomas de Dranfeud ; Henry the Forester," &c. Sir John de Hodorode, who died between 1269 and 1272, was succeeded by his son Robert who died s.p. between 1297 when he was living at South Kirkby, and 1299, when his heirs, Adam Achard of Grymsthorpe, John de Arcubus of Rihill, and Christiana de le Rodes, presented Sir John de York to the Chapelry of Cum berworth, because a moiety of the advowsou, and certain lands in Cumberworth had been held by Robert de Hoderode,-in this place where William de Bretton had retained a bovate after disposing of the remainder of his lands to the Dronsfields, William de Beaumont, about 1300, held lands in Brectwisell of the inkeritance of Robert de Hoderode. A. J. Vol. 1, 172. And in Fixby, two-aud-a-half miles north of Huddersfield, William de Beaumont also entered into lands lately held by Robert . de Hoderode, and his claim to the land (notwithstanding the above heirs) must have been good, because it was upheld in a " Court holden at Wakefield where William de Bellomonte gave 8" for reliefe of land which Robert de Hoderode held of the Earl (de Warrenue) in the towne of Fekisby," Arch. Jour., vol. vii., 135. This conjunction of the de Brettons and Robert de Hoderode and William de Beaumont seems con- clusive that as long as this brauch of Adam Fitz Swein de Bretton's family lived near their ancestral home, they were known as de Bretton, and when they went to live near Huddersfield they were known as de Beaumont-still keeping the same initial letter for use in their Seals, but covering their Saxon nationality by a Norman name. Failing any other derivation for the Beaumont Arms, " the lion and the crescents," it may be that the former was taken from Adam Fitz Swein's Arms, " Or, a lion rampant sable," (Rev. C. 7. Pratt's Cawthorne) ; and the crescents from their Crusader ancestor, William de Beaumont of 1200. In going to reside at Bretton in 1792, Colonel Thomas Richard Beaumont went to the place which had been in the possession of his forefathers at Domesday in 1086. " In the 'Domesday Book' of 1873, Mr. Wentworth Blackett Beaumont of Bretton Hall is given as the possessor of 24,098 acres, with a rental of £34,670."

The line of at and near Huddersfield commenced, as has been said, with William de Beaumont of 1200, who, as William Fitz Adam, received the gift of, or was confirmed in land at Kexborough by Roger de Montbegon. This land may be included in "all other places" when William do Bretton was selling land to the Dronsfields. Roger de Montbegon's son, John, enfeoffed the second William de Beaumont in land at Whitley. In 1218, this William was called on to defend his claim to land in Quarmby which had been glven to his father, 4. J., vol. viii, 519 ; it is said that this second William married Alice de Quarmby, 4. J. vol. vii, 136. The third William de Beaumont had by Elizabeth . . . , who was a widow in 1294, four sons, William, Richard, John and Adam ; the third son, as John de Beumont, was living in Lepton in 1297, (Record Series, vol. xvi, 90.) The eldest son, the fourth William de Beaumont, most probably married the daughter and heir of Richard de Foes as he was in possession of property at Crosland in 1294-5.' (4. J. vol. viii, 5083.) The list for Crosland does not, unfortunately, appear in the Lay Subsidy for 1297, 25 E. 1, but the name appears in the Nomina Villarum of 1315.

Students, as the Rev. Joseph Hunter, complain of the mis-spellings in this Roll, and when Chylington for Shitlington. and Gauere for Bautre appear, it is not improbable that when the lord of Crosseland is put down as William Dobernount, that William de Beamount, as the name was often then spelt, is intended. By deed dated at Crosseland 31 E. 1. 1302-3, this fourth William de Beaumont says, " Know present and to come that I, William de Bellomonte, have given &c. to Robert my sonne all messuages, lands and tenements &c., which I had by reason of my inheritance after the decease of William de Bellonionte, my father, and of Ricaard de Bell -monte, my brother, or purchased of others in Hodresfeid, Crossland-fosse, North Crossland, Meltham and South Kirkby, &c, paying to me dureing my life 20 markes, to have and to hold to the said Robert and the heires of his body lawfully begotten." This William died about 1323. His son, Robert de Beaumont, was slain at Crosland Hall by Sir John de Elland, the Sheriff, in 1341. From this period, the excellent account by Mr. G. W. Tomlinson, in Journal,

vol. viii, and Foster's pedigree, give every information about this family in and about Huddersfield.

Beaumonts in and abeut Kirkburton. The early deed already given which shows William Pitz Adam (the first William de Beaumont of 1200), witnessing a gift of land to Matthew de SAepley prepares the way for finding that the Beaumouts were often witnesses to deeds, and also that they owned land in this township in Kirkburton parish. The deeds now to be given are to be found in Wilson's Collection of Yorkshire Deeds in the British Museum, and theydhave been copied for use in this work by Mr. Charles Fred. Hardy, of Gray's lun, London. "©1429. Be it known, &c., W® Scargill, Esq. ; Tho. Morton, Rector of Church de Almanbury ; WZ Amyas ; W® Smithson, chaplain ; John Kay ; Robert Burdett ; Thos.

Henry Beaumont of Lascelles Hall, who mentions the bovate of land in Riley, Kirkburton, in 1456, was the grandfather of John Beaumont of Lascelles Hall and of Mirfield, whose will was dated in 1537, and who married Alice, a daughter of John Sothill, and the sister of Henry Sothill who was Vicar of Kirkburton for fifty-six years, from 1506 to 1562. These relationships are mentioned in the will of Alison Sothill of Dewsbury, dated July 23, 1509, the widow of John Sothill, and mother of Alice Beaumont. "I will that everyone of my sonnes-in-law, Peter Barston, JoAn + Beamond, Thomas Sayvell, have ichon of them a syIver spone to pray for me.

It was no doubt on that bovate of land that John Beaumont of Riley wes residing when he and his son Robert witnessed the Shepley deed in 1542, and where he made his will two years later.

Thomas Beaumont married, secondly, Agnes Langley, and by her bad Alice and Edward Beaumont of Catton. Richard Beaumont of Emley Park married Katherine Gascoigne, one of the famous Yorkshire family who were ancestors of the present Premier, Lord Salisbury. Richard Beaumont had besides other sons and daughters, William, who, in 1567, married Rosamund, the daughter of Richard Beaumont of Whitley, and by this marriage the Beaumont estates of Whitley, Mirfield and Lascelles Hall were again united, for on the death, unmarried, of Rosamond's nephew, Sir Richard Beaumont, in 1631, these estates came to Thomas Beaumont, grandson to Rosamund. All these estates are mentioned when Thomas Beaumont in 1645 was seeking clemency from the Roundheads. " Thomas Beamont of Whitley, co. Yorke, Esq" Report.

Beaumonts of Pulstone.

The Beaumonts in this township, who were Quakers, were descended from Godfrey Beaumont who married Susanna Morehouse, widow, at Almondbury, April 15, 1650. He appears to have been the son of Humphrey Beaumont of Meltham, and, if the same Godfrey, was baptised at Almondbury November 21, 1623, and reeeived the same Christian name as his uncle, Godfrey Beaumont of Holme, who, in his Will, proved at York November 4, 1647, mentions that he gave unto Godfrey Beaumont his nephew the sum of ten pounds. Godfrey Beaumont of New Mill in Fulstone was buried at Kirkburton January 11, 1668-9. Administration of his effects, which amounted to above £40, was given to his widow, Susanna, January 20, 1670-1. Susanna Beaumont, widow, of the New Milne, was buried June 17, 1678. Will of Susanna Beaumont of New Mill, parish of Kirkburton, widow, May 20, 30 Car. 2, 1678. To be buried at discretion of exors.

Witnesses, Godfrey Mathewman ; Godfrey Beaumont ; Abr. Hirst. Proved at York, 23 April, 1679, by John Beamont, son of deceased, one of the exors , power being reserved for his co-extrix. Above £140. Josiah Berry married Mary Beaumont in 1679. John Beaumont married Jane Matthewman June 8, 1676. She was the daughter of Godfrey Matthewman, one of the witnesses to the above Will. Susanna, dauzhter of John Beaumont of Millin, was baptised July 22, 1677. John Beaumont of Milne was buried May 29, 1684. The next entry but one in the Registers is " Godfrey Bea- mont of Lidgyate was buried May 31, 1684." The two brothers wers buried within three days of each other. Susanna, daughter of John Beaumont, mamied Mark Shaw of Kirkburton, July 3, 1699. Godfrey Beaumont's marriage does not appear in these Registers, but it took place before June, 1679, when his daughter Elizabeth was baptised in Holmfirth chapel.. John, son of Godfrey Beaumont, was baptised June 21, 1681. Thomas, son of God- frey Beaumont of Lydgate was baptised privately September 30, 1683. Martha, wife of Godfrey Beaumont, was buried October 22, 1683 ; and, as already said, Godfrey Beaumont of Lidgyate was buried May 31, 1684. This Godfrey Beaumont had benefited under the Will, dated March 31, 1672, of Godfrey Beaumont of South Crosland. "I give and devise my messuages and lands in Honley in possession of Thomas Lee, &c. unto Mary, my wife, for and during so long as she shall remain unmarried. And after her marriage or death, whether shall first happen, I give and devise to John Beaumont, sonne of Adam Beaumont of Mel- tham, and unto Godfrey Beaumont, soune of Godfrey Beaumont of New Mill, and uuto Sarab, wife of John Roebuck of Roydhouse, and to their heirs and assignes for ever." Mary, widow of the testator, and daughter of James Waterhouse of Meltham, married, secondly, John Armitage of Thickhollins on July 4, 1676, and she thus lost the houses and lands in Honley, which property would devolve on these three, who were all living in Kirkburton parish ; for there is not a doubt but that "John, son of Adam Beau- mount of Meltham ' was John Beaumont of Thurstonland Grange of 1674, whose children, Ais cousin, Abraham Beaumont of Meltham, mentioned in his Will in 1707. John and Sarah Robuck of Roydhouse, in the township of Shelley, were, like the Beaumonts of Fulstone, prominent members of the Society of Friends, 'This was, for

one reason, a misfortune, as events in their family histories were chronicled elsewhere, and not in the Church Registers. Nathaniel Beaumont, his baptism not having been given, was married May 18, 1693, to Elizabeth Morehouse. Joseph, their son, was baptised from Fulstone the same year. Nathaniel Beaumont was one of the eight Cgurchwardens in 1694-5. Mary, their daughter, was baptised June 21, 1696 ; Hanuah in 1698, and Aune in 1704-5. In 1755, Hannah Beaumont, of Upper Maythorn in Fulstone, was buried December 14. " John Beaumont, a Quaker, upwards of 27 years of age, was baptised at Kirk- burton, June 2, 1761." "Anne Kaye, a Quaker, upwards of 27 years of age, was baptised June 2, 1761." '"*John Beaumont, yeomsn, and Anne Kaye, widow, were married by Licence, June 2, 1761 ; present, Elizabeth Brook." __ "Susanna Beaumont, a Quaker, aged 25, of Dearshaw in Fulstone, was baptised April 21, 1763." Joseph Brooke and Susanna Beaumont were married May 3, 1763 ; present, William Brook and Joshua Heward. " Abraham Beaumont, a Quaker, of Maythorn (in Fulstone) was baptised October 30, 1769," and married the same day. " Abraham Beaumont and Esther Bever were married October 80, 1769 ; present, Joseph Daltry and John Garlick.'' These aduit baptisms took place in the time of the Rev, William Mountjoy, 1754-1778, whose character, as given by Dr. Morehouse, was that " he was a worthy, pious mivister, a good preacher, and from his amiable and conciliatory manners, gained the warm affection of his hearers, and the esteem of his parishoners." Abraham Beaumont went to live in Hepworth, and the rest of his life is given in that township. John Beaumont, from Lane End in Fulstone, was buried May 15, 1787. Joseph Holmes and Mary Beaumont, both of Dearshaw, Fulstone, were married November 23, 1789 ; present, John Roebuck. John Roberts married Elizabeth Beaumont, both of Snowgatehead in Fulstone, November 19, 1792; present, John Moorhouse and George Roberts (who was of Scholes, and who had married Sally Beaumont, also of Scholes, February 6, 1792). Sarah Beaumont, spinster, of Lane End in Fulston, was buried at Kirkburton, October 2, 1816, aged 85. From the time of her birth, 1731, she was probably sister to John, and Abraham. Ephraim Beaumont, full age, bachelor, of Fulstone, son of William Beaumont, clothier, was married in July, 1842, to Eliza Hawkyard, minor, spinster, of Fulstone, daughter of John Hawkyard ; present, John Brook. Allen Beaumont, aged 23, bachelor, of Mount in Fulstone, sou of Joseph Beaumont, clothier, married in February, 1856, Sarah Morrey, aged 20, spinster, of Choppards, daughter of Robert Morrey ; present, George Beaumont.

The descendant of another branch of the Beaumont family has resided for a time in Kirkbnrton parish ; he traces his descent from Adam Beaumont of Crosland Hall, father of John Beaumont of Wheat House in Marsden, who married Martha Kilner, by whom, Aune, who married Charles Atkinson of Moldgreen who died in 1870, aged 89 ; and Henry Kilner Beaumont, who married Diana Sheard, by whom, two daught=rs ; and a son, Henry Sheard Beaumont, who married in 1892.

21. BEDFORD.

A pedigree of the Bedfords of Hull, Dewsbury, Penistone, etc., co, York, has been compiled by Dr. J. R. Robinson, of Dewsbury, and was printed in the Leeds Mercury Supplement of June 9, 1883.

These Dalton were undoubtedly of the ancient family who took their name from Dalton in the parish of Kirkheaton, one mile from Huddersfield and four from Kirkburton ; and it appears probable that it was through this connection that the Bedfords came into the West Riding.

"A family of this name resided at Hagg, in the township of Honley, immediately adjoining to Nether Thong. Leonard Burrye in 1569 purchased his farm of his landlord, Sir Robert Etapleton of Wighill near York." " Thomas Berry of Hagg died in 1614, and his wife Alice in 161%. A Richard Berr; of the same place was buried at Almondbury, November 18, 1626, and we find ahe mention in 1610 of Andrew Berry of Hagg, who probably was a brother of the abore." The names of Thomas, Richard and Andrew appear in the Will of their father, John Berrye of Hagge, in 1569, already given. "* Deanhouse is a short distance from the Hagg, and like it is situated on the Dean- brook. Elizabeth, widow of Thomas Berry of Deanhouse was interred January 5, 1624.

Godfrey Berry, of Deanhouse in Almondbury parish, married Mary Roberts of Nab in this parish, at Kirkburton on January 28, 1753. It is probably the above Nathaniel Berry, who had been the Honley Chapelwarden in 1798, who is mentioned in the Honley Chapelwarden's accounts in 1809, supplied by Mrs. Jagger of Honley to Horsfall Turner's Yorkshire County Mayomne. *October 27, 1809.

These lands seem to have lain contiguous to the Berry- Banks Road, which acquired its name from this family."-4Arck. Journal, vol. xiii, The publishing of these notes, compiled by the late Dr. H. J. Morehouse, and arranged by Colonel Brouke, the President of the Yorkshire Archw@ological Society, has thrown much light on the early Berry entries in the Kirkburton Registers.

" Margaret, daughter of Herre Byrre of Ag was baptised May 20, 1571." Leonard and Henry Berry may have been elder sons of John Berry of Hagg, and the non-mention of them in John Berry's Will may have been from their already having had their portions.

29. BINNS. A family of this name, residing for four generations at Bankend in Thurstonland township, has had its pedigree written by the late Dr. Morehouse in his History of Kirkburton Parish. To this account will now be added extracts from the Yorkshire Society's Record Series ; from deeds belonging to the late Mr. John Nowell of Farnley Wood ; and from entries in the Registers. " Arthur Bynnes of Over Brockholes (Bank End), in Thurstonland, clothier, living 3 Elizabeth, 1561. married Margaret...... (who was living in her in 30 Elizabeth), by John Bynunes of Over Brockholes, yeoman, whose marriage agreement with Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Castell of Woldale, in Holmfirth, was dated September 11. 1576 ; by whom John Binns, M.A., Incumbent of Holmfirth Chapel, who died in 1646. He married Mary, daughter of William Crosley of Houley, yeoman ; marriage settlement dated November 17, 1619, by whom Christian Binns, B. A., Incumbent of Meltham Chapel, ordained in 1650. - Buried at Kirkburton June 27, 1669. And a daughter, Elizabeth Binus, who married Anthony Armitage of Thickhollins." The first mention of Arthur Binns in the Registers is on December 6, 1556, when be and John Walker, also of Thurstonland, were sponsors at theZbaptism of Arthur, son of John Morehouse. In this same year, 1556, Arthur Binns bought the moiety of a messuage with lands in Thurstonland, from William Farehome of Tickhill and Margaret his wife, and John Hobson. In 1561, by an Indenture dated 20 March, 3 Eliz., Richard Kay of Dodworth, gentyiman, sold and conveyed all his right and interest in two-fifths of two messuages, one being Over Brockholes or Bankend, with lands in Thurstonland, North Crosland and Wharmbye alias Quarmbye, to Arthur Bynnes of Thurstonland, Clothier. In 1575, Thomas Storthes of Storthes Hall in 'Thurstonlond, by his Indenture dated 17 Eliz. conveyed to Arthur Bynnes of Over Brockholes one acre of wood, called " Seynt Marye Wod," which had evidently been a part of Roche Abbey lands. In the same year, Robert Bever and William Hampshire were the plaintiffs, and John Walker and Johanna his wife, and Arthur Bynues were the deforciants in the sale of some meadow-land in Thurstonland. In 1576, Arthur Byunes and John Byunes, his son, were the plaintiffs, and Robert Jagger and Margaret his wife, John Hoyle and Isatel Walker were the deforciants in the sale of two-fifths of a messuage with lands in Thurstonland. It seems wost probable that the writer of the entry in the Register made a clerical error when he wrote sepult. instead of baptizat., but the register stands thus " filius Athur. Byns sepult. erat xij die Aprelle, 1563." Arthur, son of Arthur Binns of Thurstonland, was baptised May 5, 1566. Jave, daughter of Arthur Binns of Thurstonland, was baptised August 29, 1568.

In 1603, for 20°. worth of goods he paid 2". 84. taz. In 30 Elizabeth, 1588, John Hole (Hoyle), son and heir apparent of John Hole of Holehouse, and Agnes his wife, in the village of Hyperhome, Halifax, yeoman granted to John Binns, son and heir of Arthur Binns, late of Brockholes, deceased, one fifth part of the messuage and lands called Over Brockholes. In the same yw' Thomas Crosland und John Binns were the plaintiffs, and John Hoile and Elizabeth his wife, John Hoile, his son and heir apparent, and Samuel Hoile were the

deforciants, in the sale of a fifth part of six messuages and a cottage with lands in Collersley, South Crosland, North Crosland, and Thurstonland. The burial of John Binns does not appear in the Registers, but Elizabeth Binns, widow, was buried November 16, 1650. Their children were John, baptised at Kirkburton, July 25, 1589 ; Grace, baptised February 24, 1586-7 ; Thomas, baptised January 16, 1591-2; Anne, baptised June 9, 1594; Jane, baptised December 5, 1596; and Michael, baptised September 30, 1599. Michael appears to have lived in Almondbury parish,. Michael Binns and Sarah Cryer (? daughter of Robert Cryer, Curate of Honley), were married at Almondbury, January 18, 1619-20. The Will of Johanna Hepworth of Honley in parish of Almonburie, widow, dated August 11, 1620, mentions, " Four score pounds that I owe to Bynnes to be paid. I give to said Michsell Bynnes and Sara his wife, my loong newe table, a flocke bedd and two new blankets, and he to dye all his cloth in my lead till he get a lead of his own, and I give him the 2°4 paire of my best cloth sheres. Witnesses, Roger Greene, Michael Bynnes, and John Armitage." James Earnshawe and Grace Binns were married at Kirkburton on June 27, 1608. Their son, Joshua Earnshawe, was father of another Joshua Earnshaw, who became Lord Mayor of York in 1692. Morehouse, 210. The Rev. John Binus, eldest son of John and Elizabeth Binns, Master of Arts in 1614, was appointed Incumbent of Honley Chapel on May 2, 1618. In 1616, a Bond was given by Matthew Marsh of Hallsteeds in Thurstonland, yeoman, and Francis Oglethorpe of Wordleaworth, otherwise Wiglesworth, gentleman, to John Bynnes of Bankend, yeoman, for £50; dated 3 May, 1616; drawn by William Fenay, and witnessed by him, R. Scott, John Dalton, and others (Cancelled). Paver's Marriage Licences for 1617 give Francia Oglethorpe of Felkirk and Elizabeth Hepworth of Kirkburton, to be married in either place. In 1628, a Bond from William Hepworth of Ratchdall (Rochdale) in y* county of Lancaster, gentleman, was given to John Bynnes, Clerk, of the Bankend in Thurstonland, in y° county of York, for £40. Dated May 24, 1628. Signed, William Hepworth. Witnesses, John Smith, Thomas Archer, and others. (Bond Cancelled.) In or before 1635, the Rev. John Binns became Incumbent of Holmfirth Chapel ; in that year he procured a Commission out of the Ecclesiastical Court to diverse Commissioners to allot seats unto the inhabitants of Holmfirth in the newly re-erected Chapel, and to raise and fix a competent stipend for the Curate. The Commissioners ordered the inhabitants to pay tenpence yearly for every seat, which would amount to £25-10-0 ; but with this arravgement the parishioners were dissatisfied, and refused to pay the same. The troubles arising from this disagreement, and the breaking out of the National Civil War, filled up the years to his death in 1646. Mrs Byones of Bankend, widow (Marg Crosley of Honley), was buried at Kirkburton, April 8, 1662, leaving an only son, the Rev. Christian Binns ; her only daughter, Elizabeth, who had married Anthony Armitage of Thickhollins, had died in 1657. Bankend in Thustonland. Memorandum of a Court of Survey holden 1657 at Kirkburton. - The Jury find that Christian Bynues holdeth one Tenement in Thurstonland called Bancke End in Soccage by fealty, suite of Court and the yearly Rent to the Lord of eight pence, for four acres of land, three acres of meadow, four acres of pasture and an acre of wood, held of y°® King, formerly of y® Commandria of Newland or St. John of Jerusalem.

came to an end on March 31, 1691. He may have been Edmund, ann of Stephen Robinson of Kirkgate, Leeds, baptised December 28, 1646. The coincidence is rather singular that whilst these Robinsons were at Baukend, there were also Robinsons living at Kirkburton Vicarage, who were also connected with Leeds, and with a family named Binns. The Vicar of Kirkburton from 1662 to 1727, the Rev. Joseph Briggs, married Grace Robinson, baptised May 28, 1688, one of the daughters of the Rev. Henry Robinson, Vicar of Leeds, und afterwards Rector of Swillington, whose wife was Susan, dauyAter of Abraham Binrs, whom he had married on July 1, 1634.

81.-BLACKBURN. It is easy to find the reason for the presence of members of the Blackburn family from very early times in the neighbouring parish of Almondbury, for the Lord of that manor was also Lord of Blackburn in Lancashire. Robert de Laci, Lord of Pontefract, who succeeded his father, Ibert de Laci, in 1087, received from Henry I., in 1101, the Honor of Clitheroe, in which was included the hundred of Blackburn. One of the Yorkshire tenants named in Domesday, 1085, was Leusin (! Leofsine}, a vassal holding the manor of Almondbury of de Laci. Efward of Almondbury and Robert, his brother, who, before 1158, witness the charter of Adam fits Sweyn (see supra, p. cxciii), might have been his sons, the former being probably the Eaward fitz Lefwine, who, with his sons, Elins and Henry, witnessed a charter of Henry de Laci (1141-1187) to Henry, the clerk of Blackburn. A.J., vol. v, 813. Rochdale and Huddersfield were also in the great fee of the De Lacies. About 1250, John de Blackburn was Vicar of Rochdale ; he was a frequent witness to the grants of land to the Abbey of Stanlawe, as was also his brother, Adam. (Col. Fishwick's History of Rochdale). Stanlawe Abbey was founded in 1178 by John de Laci, Constable of Chester, and Lord of Pontefract. Both Rochdale and Huddersfield were held by the Byrous under the chief Lord of the Fee. Sir Richard de Byron bought land in Huddersfield in 1318, 12 Edward 2, and in 1333 dated the following deed-*" To all the faithfull in Christ that shall see or heare this writeing, Richard de Byron, Kt, greeting, know ye that I have granted and by this my present writeing confirmed to John de Byron, my sonne, my mannors of Hodresfield, &c. The rents and services of Richard de Honley (Almondbury parish) of Margerie de Quarmby, of Adam de Hepworth (Kirkburton parish), of Adam de Lockwood and his heiress, of Adam de Blackburne and his heires, of Richard Ais brother, with all the appurtenances," &c. Dated at Huddersfield, 1333. In 1379, John de Blackburn and Cecilia, his wife, were living in Huddersfield. There is evidence that both the Blackburues of Huddersfield and of Kirkburton parish were connected with those of this name in Penistone parish. The very early history of Denby in Penistone parish is given by the Rev. Joseph Hunter in his SoutA Yorkshire, volume 2. " In the township of Denby are two hamlets called Over Denby and Nether Denby ; Edulf and Godric" (ancestor of the Fitz Williams of Emley) "had 3 carucates. They gave way to Zibert de Laci, and of him their lands were held by Ailric" (see p. cxciii in these Family Histories). "The earlier lords appear with the addition 'de of whom Matthew de Denby is found in the Pipe Rolls of 12 Hen, II., 1166. The Heralds temp. Eliz: begin the descent with a Robert de Deuby living in the reign of Hen. III., 1216-1272, who, by Sybil, daughter of Stephen de Helperthorpe, had Sir Robert de Denby. This Sir Robert increased his possessions by marriage with Margaret, daughter of Sir Robert de Hoyland (High Hoyland), son of Sir Adam de Hoyland ; by whom he had another Robert de Denby, who being dead without issue in 31 E. I., 1802, his sister, Margaret, wife of Hobert de Balliol, was his heir. By Robert de Balliol she had one daughter and heir, Idonea de Balliol, who bad the manors of Denby and Hoyland by fine 32 E. I., 1303, to her and her buaband, Robert Burdett." The mother of Margaret de Denby was Joan le Tyas (Teutonicus), of Farnley Tyas, who, when she was the widow of Sir Robert de Hoyland, married John de Byron, the mesne lord of Rochdale, whose grandson, Sir Richard de Byron,. became also the measne lord of Huddersfield in 1318. Penistone being included in the De Laci fee. and the Byrons being connected by marriage there. accounts for their vassals from Blackburn being found there also. " William Marshall of Denby, yeoman, had received a rent charge of five shillings from William Blackburn, late of Huddersfield, yeornan, upon his house in Huddersfield. He grants this to Richard Burdett, esq., W® Benson, chaplain, and others, to the use of his Will, which, on 1 August, 28 Henry VIII., 1528, he declared to be that they should suffer the said W® Benson, chaplain, chantry priest of Seynt Herasme within the parish church of St. John Baptist in Penyston . . . to syng and celebrate masse and order dyvyn service att the awter of Seynt Herasme, yerly to receive 4* and 114 of the said 5* tor the increasing their salarye, the remaining penuy to be paid to him and his heirs." - Hunter's South Yorkshire, vol. ii, p. 842.

VI., when John Armytege was the plaintiff, and William Blakeburne was the deforciant in the sale of a messuage and 2 cottages with lands in Huddersfeld. Another purchase by the second John Armytage was made in 1602, 44 and 45 Eliz: when he and his second son, Gregory Armytage, were the plaintiffs, and John Blackburne and Mary his wife, John Kittson and Richard Kittson, were the deforciants in the sale of a third part of a messuage with lands into three parts divided in Huddersfield and Clifton. In 1567, John Blackburne was the plaintiff, and Richard Clayton and Johanna, his wife, were the deforciants in the sale of a messuage with lands in Denbye in Penistone parish. In 1645 was proved the Will of John Blackburne of Denby, yeoman, dated January 6, 1648-4. The Agreement of Marriage between Robert Blackburn of Penistone parish and Jennett Walker of Thurstonland was published in Kirkburton Church on September 17 and 24, and October 1, 1654. They were married by Sir John Savile, a Justice of the Peace, on October 12, 1654. ' Hanorh, daughter of Robert Blackburn of Denby Mill in Penistone parish was baptized at Kirkburton on Oct. 5, 1662. Robert Blackburn, of Langside in Penistone parish, was reported as a Popish recusant at the Leeds Sessions in 1691. "The old house in Denby, named in the maps as Papist Hall, is a favourable specimen of the houses of the better sort of yeomanry in the time of Charles II. It belonged to the family of Blackburn, who were Roman Catholics. One of them was agent for the Duke of Norfolk in the management of his Yorkshire estates.

32. BLACKER. Both the spellings Blackey and Blackley are here taken to be only variations of the original name, Blacker, As a place name it was mentioned at the Great Assize held at Northampton, 50 Hen. iii., 1266, when William de Thornhill (five miles north of Kirkburton), charged Sir Francis Tyas (of Farnley Tyas, two miles west of Kirkburton) with seizing his goods at Thornhill, Denby and Carlcotes (in Penistone parish), Blacker (fise miles south of Barnsley), Wath, Adwick and Newhall. In 1524, the only Blackers mentioned in the King's Subsidy Roll for the Wapentake of Agbrigg, are those living in the parish of Sandall in the Manor of Wakefield. * Rauff Blakar, for 408 lands in Crigglestone, in the parish of Sandall, paid 28 ; and Roger Blackar of Sandal), for 20° lands, paid 124," 4..7., vol. 2., 55, 56. In 1235, 19 Hen. III., there was a Fine "between Godfrey de Bellomonte, and Robert de Rockley and Mergery his wife, disturber, of one carucate of land in Crigleston, the right of Godfrey of the guift of Robert and his wife." A.J. vol. vi., 445. The connection between the Rockleys and their successors, the Everinghams, and the Blackers appears in two deeds in Hunter's South Yorkshire, " William de Rockley, the son and heir of Peter (as one interested), appears among the witnesses to a deed by which Sir Hugh de Nevile gives to Henry de Blacker a capital messuage in Milnthorpe in Worsborough, which Henry de Milnethorpe formerly held." " In 1334, Henry, son and heir of William de Blacker, gives to Sir Adam de Everingham de

Rockley an annual rent of 48 for lands at Blacker." The Blackers thus appear a: tenants of the Rockleys both at Blacker and at Crigglestone. The will of Robert Blakker of Sandall parish, dated April 8, 1458, was proved the following July. In 1466, there was a Thomas Blaker there, who, with John Haygh demised to John, son of John Boyne, and Agnes his wife, daughter of John Sprigonell. one messuage and 30 acres of land and meadow in Criggleston, and one messuage and 16 acres of land and meadow in Cudworth with the appurtenances which we had of the guift of John Boyne the elder. Witnesses, Oliver Haygh, Robert Peli, &c., Dated 6 E. 4. (This Robert Pell was probably a relation of Robert Pelle who was Vicar of Kirkburton from 1361 to 1406, and they were perhaps both descended from " Thomas filius Pelle" of Crigglestone in 1297). In 1479, " Robert Blaker held divers lands called Blaker in Crigleston with the appurtenances in Saudall by soccage." A.J. vol. vi., 444. The Will of Thomas Blakker of Sandall parish, dated August 11, 1486, was proved nine days afterwards. Another Thomas Blacker appears in 1514 in a Shepley deed in Kirkburton parish. " Indenture 30 April, 6 H. 8., between William Goldthorpe, son and heir of John, and John Goldthorpe and James Goldthorpe, younger brethren of said William, for certain large sums of money paid by them W®. G. grants that George Castell. John Kay of Stuckwood Hill, Peter Kay, Robert Palmer, Sir Ric. Palmer, chaplain, TAemes Blacker and Gilbert Savile shall recover against the said W®. G. by writ of entry in le post All lands of said W®. G. in co. York, to wit, 12 messuages, 30 acres of meadow, 100 of pasture, 10 of wood, and 20® of rent in Goldthorp, Bolton on Dearne, Bylyngly, Bernborough and Shepley," &c. An earlier deed, also amongst Wilson's deeds in the British Museum, shows clear connection between men of Crigglestone and men of Shepley, both places being in the Manor of Wakefield. It should be noted that this deed, the original of which is in Latin, was dated in the time of Robert Pelle, Vicar of Kirkburton. " William de Preston supra le Hill, Thomas de Wollay de Pontefracto, and Richard de Thornhill grant to William de Schepilay the whole manor of Scheplay with its appurtenances which we have of the gift and feoffment of John, son of John de Dyghton, and James Pelis de Cregilston, in Sheplay. Witnesses, John de Amyas, Ed. de Amyas, Robert de Storres (Storthes Hall), John de Heyton, John Clerk de Pontefract, Adam Holman, and many others. Dated at Pontefract, 1382." On October 3, 1516, in the Probate Act Book, Pontefract, appears the name cf Thomas Blacker of Sandall Magnor. In the Will of Roger Amyas of Sandall, March 10, 1499-1500, he mentions " John Thurgurland, junior, and Blekker, the husbands of my two daughters."

83. BOLLAND. The home of the Bolland family, whilst in Kirkburton parish, was at Stagwood Hill in Fulstone, from which place one of the most glorious and extensive views in the country is to be seen. Its own elevation is about 700 feet, but the view is bounded by high land all round, which is from 1,200 to 1,600 feet in height above the sea. On the east, against the sky-line, is Tinker's Monument, B.M. 1250; on the south, is Cook's Study, B.M. 1481 ; and in the west, is West Nab, B.M. 1641. The south side of Stagwood Hill is high above the country that lies immediately below it. Anyone standing here four hundred years ago would have seen thick forest spreading out to the high land as far as the boundary, for here was the Royal Free Chase of Holmfirth. which had belonged to King Edward the Confessor, and fell to William I. on his Conquest. - William's son gave the Manor of Wakefield, in which the Forresta de Holme was included, to his cousin, the second Earl de Warrenne. The probable of the Chase in early times has been well described by Dr. Morehouse. " Without indulging in fanciful speculation, we may infer from the name Holmfirth, or Wood of Oak, which this district or chase acquired after the Domesday Survey, that its valleys were then thickly covered with wood, and that the acclivities and open plains were here and there studded with fine spreading timber, interspersed with coppice and haszel ; while in the sheltered and more favored spot

Page 595

APPENDIX. CCCl1l1.

the fine green luxuriant herbage became the inviting repast of the red and fallow deer, the roe and hare. Higher up along the ridges, where now a tree is scarcely to be seen, were the wide-spread patches of wood here and there; while the highest ground, where now there is nothing but heath and bog, was then thickly covered with birch, scarcely acquiring the dimensious of trees, but forming a close cover of brushwood, affording protection and shelter to the shy and more retiring beasts of the chase." About a mile from Stagwood Hill is Woldale-the Wolves' dale of olden days ; and away in the south of the forest is Wild-boar-Clough. In Hunter's South Yorkshire is noted a case of trespass in this forest. "In 1816, at a Court of the Manor of Waketield, held at Kirk Burton, on Wednesday after the octaves of Easter, 9 Edward II., the Jury presented that John de Dalton, Vicar of Braithewell, several times forcibly entered the free chase of the Lord Earl de Warrenne in Holmfirth, armed, and killed, seized and carried off the game of the said Earl, and assaulted the men of the said Earl there present, and with his arrows shot and wounded them ; for which he was ordered to be arrested." The commanding position of Stagwood Hill over the under-lying forest, probably made it the residence of the Chief Forester, or the hunting-lodge of the Lord of the fee. - One of the Chief Foresters in early times was Sir Peter de Routh, Knight of Baynbrigg in Wensleydale, whose mother, Johanna, was a daughter of Adam, Baron Everingham, who owned Shepley township in Kirk Burton parish. "In 18 Ed. 3, 1345, Sir Peter de Routh was Chief Forester of Wensleydale. In 22 Ed. 3, he had a graut from the King of the custody of the (Warrenne) Castle of Sandale, with the parks thereto adjoining, and the foreign woods of Wakefield, also of the parks and chases of Arryndene, Souresbishire and Holmfirth ; and he was then Keeper of the Door of the Queen's Chamber." Turner's Yorks. Genealogist. Dr. Morehouse has found by a deed concerning a disputed seat in Kirkburton Church that John (de) Stakwood wis one of the Churchwardens for the parish of Kirkburton in 1490 ; and that in 12 Henry 8, 1520, Ellen (de) Stakwood, then in her widowhood, leased in that year a messuage and lands at Holmehouse in Fulstune to John Tynker, but reserved the annual rent to John Kay. Not far from Stagwood Hill, and just on the border of Fulstone and Thurstonland townships is Ellen's Spring, in a lovely little dell, carpeted in the spring with the wild byacinth. One wonders whether it was named after this Mistress Ellen. John Kay de Stakwode Hill was here in 1514, when his name appears in an Indenture signed in the neighbouring township of Shepley on April 30, by which William Goldthorpe, son and heir of John, and John and James Gold- thorpe, younger brethren of said William, for certain large sums of money paid by them, agree that George Castell, Jorn Kay of Stakwood Hill, Peter Kay, Robert Palmer, Sir Ric. Palmer, chaplain, Thomas Blacker and Gilbert Savile shall recover agninst the said Willium Goldthorpe, &c. In 1533, 25 Hen. 8, in the Feet of Fines is the record that George Castell, JoAn Kay de Stakwodehill and Robert Palmer were the plaintiffs, and William Goldthorp, son and heir of John Goldthorp, was the deforciant, in the sale of 12 messuages with lands in Goldthorp, Bolton on Dern, Billyngley, Bamburgh, and Shepley. The Bollands were the immediate successors of John Kay at Stagwood Hill. Whence they came can at present only be conjectured, but as the post he held was probably that of Chief Forester, William of Boland, as the name was at first spelt in the Kirkburton Registers, would be from Bowland Forest on the borders of Lanca- shire, of which the Parkers of Browsholme have long been the Chief Foresters. When the Registers commence in 1541, William Bolland was already here with his wife Annes. - They had Johanna baptised in September, 1541, and John baptised in May, 1544. Aounes, wife of William Bolland, was buried at Kirkburton on February 28, 1571-2 ; and William Bolland of Stagwood Hill in Fulston was buried 24 June, 1578. Thomas Robucke and Grace Bolland were married November 80, 1551. George Bailey and Johanna Bolland were married June 8, 156%. Roger Hele and Agnes Bolland were married March 5, 1564-5. John Bolland and Alicia Rowley were married November 30, 1566. William, son

of John Bowland of Fulstone, was baptised April 10, 1567. John, son of Johu, was baptised September 18, 1569. Grace, daughter of John, was baptised November 11, 1571. Nothing further appears in the Kirkburton Registers of this family. ltichard Bolland of Stakwood Hill and Annes Lockwood were married in 1571, and their son George was baptised the same year. Annes and another (name omitted), daughters of Richard Bolland were buptised in February 1572-3; Susanna was baptised in March, 1574-5 ; Mary, in May, 1579 ; and Edward on March 14, 1581-2. Agnes, wife of Richard Bolland was buried October 14, 1577. In September, 1589, he married Jennet Rowley. Richard Bolland was buried Februaury 19, 1590-1. George Bolland was buried June 9, 1592. Edward Beardsell and Jennet Bolland, probably the widow of Richard, were married November 8, 1596. John Robucke and Mary Bolland were married June 1, 1607. These are all the entries of the Bollands in the Kirkburton Registers. This shows that John Bolland and his wife Alicia, and their children, William, John and Grace, as well as their nephew Edward, all removed from Kirkburton parish. Round their old home on Stagwoodhill are still flourishing, May, 1898, some very ancient yew-trees which must be some centuries old. The reason why the Bollands left Stagwoodhill can be traced to the circumstance that from 1567 the Forest land was broken up and sold in portions to the copyhold tenants, so that the Chief Forester's office would become a sinecure. On October 9, 1566, Queen Elizabeth granted to liobert, Earl of Leicester, various lands and tenements then being parcel of the waste of the demesne of her Manor of Wakefield within the eight Graveships into which that Manor was divided. In the following year, on December 7, the Earl of Leicester sold these lands to two Yorkshiremen, Sir Thomas Gargrave and Henry Savile of Lupset, and these two, or their assigns, sold the lands in portions to whoever applied. Thus the great Free Chase of Holmfrth came to an end, and with it the necessity for keeping the officials of the Forest. The Newtons were at Stagwood Hill, as tenants, before 1603, the end of Queen

Elizabeth's reign.

84. BOOTH. Members of this family in the Holmfirth district were connected with the famous Elland Feud of the fourteenth century. Sir John de Elland, the aggressor, was said to have been High Steward to the Earl de Warrenne, who owned Kirkburton and the Graveship of Holme. Notwithstanding his service to the Warenne family, John de Elland aud his father, Sir Hugh, were fighting on the side of Thomas, Karl of Lancaster, at the Battle of Boroughbridge, in March, 1321-2, against the King and the Earl de Warrenne ; and, whilst Sir Hugh was taken with others to be imprisoned in the Tower of London, John de Elland was pardoned on paying a fine of ten marks to the King. In 1324, Sir Robert de Beaumont of Crosland Hall was Commissioner of Array for the Wapentake of Agbrigg, and Coroner for the County of York ; this would show him to be in the service of the King. In 1341, Sir John de Elland was High Sheriff of Yorkshire, and it was during this year that he slew Sir Robert de Beaumont at Crosland Hall. In 1351, this murder was avenged by the slaying of Sir John de Elland by Adam de Beaumont and others ; in 1353 and 1355, the following events took place at York Castle- *The gaol-delivery of York Castle made there before William Bassett and his fellows, the Judges of the King's Bench assigned for that gaol-delivery, on Thursday, St. James the Apostle's day (July 25), in the 27th year of Edward III. as king of England and 14th as king of France.

The jurors chosen for this trial and sworn say upon their oath that the said Robert del Both and all the others are in no way guilty of the said felonies nor have ever withdrawn them- selves (absconded) on account of the said matter. It is therefore adjudged that the said Robert and all the others go hence unmolested." "'The gaol-delivery of York Castle made there before Thomas de Seton, John Moubray and Roger de Blaketon, King's Justices assigned for that gaol-delivery, on the first Tuesday after the feast of St. Margaret the Virgin (July 20), 20 Edw.

John de Shelley (Kirkburton parish), imprisoned on an indictment made before Peter de Nuttle, late Sheriff of York, charging that he received at Brighouse William de Lockwood, Adam de Beaumont and others who feloniously slew John de Eland, knight, after the commission of the said felony, knowing of the felony, came before the said Justices, in charge of the Sheriff (etc., as before). He was found ® not guilty.'" In 1379, in a list of residents in the district of Holmfirth, which district would include the townships of Hepworth, Cartworth, Fulstone and Woldale, are the names of Richard de Bothe and his wife ; Thomas and Adam de Bothe, who were living near together ; and John and Adam de Bothe, whose names also follow each other. From the Wakefield Manor Rolls are gathered a few entries of this family in the graveship of Holme. 1461. Holme. Richard Boothe surrenders to use of his son John Booth 1470. Holme. William Boothe of Shaley (in Woldale) surrenders to use of his sons William, Robert and Richard Boothe. 14983. Holme.

Booths of Woldale. From the extracts from the Wakefield Manor Rolls just given it is seen that, in 1470, William Booth of Shaley in the township of Woldale surrendered his lands to the use of his sons William, Robert and Richard. Fifty-two years later, the grand- sons of William and the sons of these three men, entered into possession ; they were Hugh, son of William ; William, son of Robert ; and Edward, son of Richard Booth ; they paid 3* heriot on the deaths of their said fathers for six acres of land in Woldale. Edward Booth was buried at Kirkburton on January 31, 1545-6.

ceevi. APPENDIX.

In 1553 and 1559, Effana, only daughter and heir of Edward Booth, paid 124 heriot on the death of her father. In 1564, William Allott and Elizabeth Charles- worth, widow, were the plaintiffs, and Robert Clyfton (? Clayton) and Effana his wife, and John Booth were the deforciants in the sale of two-thirds of a messuage with lands in Holmefurth the district of Holmefirth in which was included Woldale-see p. xxii. supra). In 1588, John Booth was the plaintiff, and Matthew Wentworth, Esq., who had married one of the daughters of the above Elizabeth Charlesworth of Totties in Woldale, was the deforciant in a case concerning a messuage with lands in Hemsworth and South Kirkbye. A warrant was given against the heirs of Matthew Wentworth, Esq., deceased, the father, and against Matilda Wentworth, widow, the mother of Matthew, and her heirs. In 1580, George Booth was collated Vicar of South Kirkby by the Archbishop on a lapse. He resigned in 1591. At this time, the Triggotts of South Kirkby were also the lords of the Manor of Kirkburton, by the marriage of Thomas Triggott with Joan de Burton, sole heir of Robert de Burton, lord of this Manor.

The descendants of William Booth of Shaley of 1470 can be traced in the Registers for several generations ; the last time the name of this residence appears in connection with the Booths was when John Booth of Shaley was buried on April 22, 1783. In 1589 Thomas Booth married Jane Ireland, and by her had Dorothy, baptised in March, 1590; Richard, in November, 1592; and Godfrey, in April, 1593. Jane Booth, the mother, was buried in April, 1594. In the following August Thomas Booth married Janett Hepworth, and by her had Dorothy, baptized in 1595 ; Elin: beth, baptised and buried in 1598-9 ; twins, Elizabeth and Jane, baptised in May, 1600 ; Jane, so called probably after the first wife, died the following month. Aune was baptised in 1606-7; Alice in 1608 ; and Richard in 1609-10. Thomas Booth died in September, 1615. Richard, son of Thomas Booth, was buried May 1, 162;. Jenett Booth, widow, was buried November 14, 1643. Humphrey Booth, the eldest son of Thomas, had a daughter Mary baptised is February, 1633-4. Humphrey Booth of Shaley was buried at Kirkburton ca November 23, 1670. At this time there were several of the family living at Shales. a hamlet about 800 feet above the sea, and about a mile south-east of the town «f Holmfirth. The house in which Henry Booth of Shaley was living must have been one of the largest houses in the district, for, in 1666, he paid tax for four hearths, when most of his neighbours paid for only one ; and John Booth, who succeeded him in the house, paid in 1672 for five hearths. It seems likely that the Booths of Shaley were now members of the Society of Friends, of the founding of which Society an interesting account has been given by Dr. Morehouse in his history of Wouldale town- ship. The Registers tell the tale by showing that the Booths of Shaley very rarely came to the Parish Church now, except for burials One entry in the Registers n that Richard Roberts and Mary Gaunt were married at Henry Booth's, with 1 licence, the 25th day of June, 1667. This would be at the house of Henry Booth's widow, for Henry Booth of Shaley had been buried at Kirkburton on November 26, 1666 ; his widow, Dorothy, was buried here on March 16, 1669-70. Richard Booth, baptized in 1592, second son of Thomas by Jane Ireland, married Susanna Burnett on January 27, 1616-17 ; and had by her, with others whose baptisms do not appear in the Registers, Jane, who was buried in 1627 ; William, baptised in July, 1627 ; Matthew, baptized in September, 1629 ; Aune, baptized in March, 1634-5 ; Elizabeth, baptised in 1637-8 ; and another Matthew, baptised in September, 1640. Susan, wife of Richard Booth, was buried September 1, 1641. Richard Booth was buried February 24, 1646-7. Godfrey Booth, baptised in 1593, third son of Thomas, had Susan, baptised in March, 1627-8 ; Sara, who died in 1628 ; Thomas, baptised in February, 1629-380 ; and two crisome children who were buried in 1649. Aune, wife of Godfrey Booth, was buried April 2, 1665. Susanna Booth of Shaley was buried June 5, 1665. Godfrey Booth of Shaley was buried December 2, 1673. The only further mantion m the Registers of his son Thomas is that he was buried from Shaley on April 24, 1709.

John Booth of Shaley in Woldale was buried February 29, 1735-6. Richard Booth and Judith Firth were married early in 1680, and they had a daughter Anne baptised the same year from a place in Holmfirth district called Miry- lane. Martha, daughter of Richard Booth of Woldale Townend, (which place seems to mean the northern end of the township), was baptised March 11, 1682.3. Judith wife of Richard Booth of Grange, was buried March 9, 1685-6. Nearly contemporary with John Booth of Shaley was Richard Booth of Bankhouse, also in Woldale; he married Rebecca Charlesworth on June 16, 1712 ; they had Martha, baptised in 1713 ; George, in May, 1715 ; Anne, in 1716 ; Thomas, in August, 1719 ; and Matthew, in July, 1721.

Joseph, or Joshua Booth, son of John Booth of Shaley, married in 1776 Sarah, daughter of John Wagstaff of Milshaw in Hepworth, by Martha, daughter of Francis Matthewman of Snowgatehead. Joshua Booth, the second son of John and Elizabeth, lived first at Woldale Townend, and afterwards at Totties, a hamlet half-a-mile to the north-east of Shaley. Joshua Booth of Woldale had Sarah baptised in 1733 ; John, baptised in August, 17839 ; Jonas, baptised in June, 1744, who died in 1749; and Joseph, baptised in May, 1748, all brought from Woldale Townend. Margaret, wife of Joshua Booth of Totties, was buried in April, 1761. Joshua Booth of Tottiee was buried in October, 1762. His daughter Sarah was married in 1755 to Joseph Bedford, see p. cexxii. supra. Henry Booth, the son of John and Elizabeth, may have been the Henry who went to reside at Holmfirth, and will be mentioned in the Booths of that township. William Booth, the fourth son, lived at Totties ; there are but few notices of him in the Registers. Ann, daughter of John Lee, was buried from William Booth's of Totties, on April 19, 1749.

The Burial Register stands thus-'" John Booth of Scholes, drowned, buried at Holmfirth, July 26, 1777." In an interesting account of this flood written, in 1837, by Mr. Holmes, and sent by " J.D. of Holmfirth " for insertion in the Leeds Mercury Supplement, of March 4, 1882, he says-" On the 23rd July, 1777 (sixty years ago), about four o'clock in the afternoon, a most awful thunderstorm burst on the hills above Holmfirth, accom- panied with such torrents of rain as instantly filled all the small rivulets. The rivulets soon became flooded. By the time the current reached Holmfirth, it rolled down with a front or breast many yards perpendicular; sweeping before it, or crushing down by its enormous weight, weirs, bridges, mills, and houses. Every- thing within its reach was instantly swept away or gutted, and made a complete wreck. Above the town, Lower Mill and all its machinery was buried in the vast deep and completely lost, with the exception of the water-wheel. So was Holmfirth Lower or Fulling Mills, on the site of which Messrs. Gartsides' dye-house now stands. But, most melancholy of all, three men were carried away from Mill-hill, within the sight of hundreds who were impotent to save. The corpse of one man was found in a tree at Bridge Mill. Some time elapsed before the other two were found-one near Huddersfield, the other near Wakefield." Dr. Morehouse adds, in his History, p. 229, " Their names were Elkanah Hinchliff, publican ; John Booth of Scholes ; and -- Lindley, carpenter, Holmfirth. Booth was afterwards found in a tree near Bridge Mill ; Lindley was found near the King's Mill, Huddersfield ; and Hinchcliff was found near Horbury." Hinchliff and Lindley were probably buried in the parishes where they were found, as they are not entered in the Holmfirth Registers.

Wituness-J"° Battye. Note. -This was John Battye of Scholes who is spoken of as " my Cousin John Battye " in the Will drawn up in 1725 of Dr. Elihu Jackson of Mealhill and Don- caster, the grandfather of the Countess of Anglesea of 1742. The Battyes of Scholes have had famous descendants. In addition to the account given on page clzxx. of these histories, a further account is here given of the family of the much lamented Richmond Battye, Adjutant of the 6th Bengal Cavalry, who, at the early age of 28, died for his country, having been shot dead in battle, on December 1, 1897, in the Indian Frontier war. It has been noted that, in every war in India of recent years, a Battye of this soldier family has fallen, and, in this way, Richmond Battye had already lost his father, Major Legh Richmond Battye, and three uncles, before his own turn came. Legh Richmond Battye, Major 5th Goorkhas, aged 42, was killed in action, June 18, 1888, in the Black Mountain expedition. Quintin Henry Battye, aged 19, was killed at the siege of Delhi, June, 1851. Major Wigram Battye, in the second Afghan war, was shot through the heart, charging at the head of the Guides' Cavalry, April 11, 1876, aged 34. Lieut. Colonel Frederick Drummond Battye, " the famous fighting commandant of the Infantry of the Corps of Guides, was killed in the Chitral campaign, April 13, 1895, aged 48, while gallantly leading his men to action.'" From the courage possessed by these heroes, which made them in danger be always in advance of their men, one is not surprised to hear they had Royal blood in their veins ; the tale will be told as written by Richmond Battye in 1895. " Princess Elizabeth born in 1770, third daughter of George III. and Queen Charlotte, was married to George Ramus, Page to His Majesty, at St. James's Palace, in the presence of Gerge III., and by his command by Dean Ryder, Dean of Windsor, afterwards Bishop of Lichfield. (A grandson of Dean Ryder has married a cousin of my father, eg. Julia Money.) The marriage was duly and lawfully performed, though not recognised as a royal one. Later in life, at the age of 48, after the death of George Ramus, Princess Elizabeth was married to the Landgrave of Hesse- Homburg. At this period several of the Ramus family were at Court-oune of his aunts became Baronesse de Noailles, and the other Lady Day. It is curious that at this same time, the brothers and sisters of my great grandmother, Georgina Wynyard, were also all at Court-one brother, William Wynyard, Grenadier Guards, was Equerry to George III., and another brother, Edward Buckley Wynyard, Coldstream Guards, was Equerry to the Duke of Cumberland ; also, one sister, Sophia Wynyard, was Lady in Waiting to Princess Augusta of Cambridge. When I was presented to the Duke of Cambridge a few months ago, he told me several incidents of my Wynyard great grandmother and her family." Eliza Ramus, daughter of the Princess Elizabeth and George Ramus, married James Money of the Indian Civil Service ; their daughter, Marian Charlotte Money, married George Wynyard Battye of the Bengal Civil Service ; they were the parents of one daughter and of nine sons, one of whom was Major Legh Richmond Battye, the father of the late Lieut. Richmond Battye. The connexion between this family of Battye and the Battie-Wrightsons is through an ancestor who lived at Wakefield.

Ebenezer Booth and Tedbar Booth were both living, or, at least, owned land in Kirkburton in 1816. ‘ James Booth, baptised in 1775, third son of John Booth by Mary Tinker, will be always remembered as a benefactor of Kirkburton. By his will dated the 8th day of October, 1852, he bequeathed the sum of two hundred and fifty pounds to apply and appropriate the same to and for the poor of the township of Kirkburton. The interest of this sum is yearly expended by the Vicar, Churchwardens and Overseers for the benefit of the needy of this township.
