Find Ancestors

Hi Linda, Thank you so very much for you very kind offer. I will PM you what I would like you to look up. Thanks a million Liz x

Hi Joyce, Thank you for the further info that you gave - it might prove to be useful Liz :o}

Hi Lyn, I checked Thomas Clarkson b 1792 Bagby siblings and I found there was another Thomas Clarkson b 1796 to John & Jane which more or less says the first Thomas died!!! Thank you once again for your input greatly appreciated. Liz

Liz, I have been watching all of this, some I follow ,some I don't. I have been looking at the IGI and the NBI discs which I have. Bagby is very close to here(Thirsk). There are no Clarkson burials in Bagby, but there are lots in Thirsk. If it was the Bagby christening, then the parents were John Clarkson and Jane Eshelby. There are Eshelby burials in both Thirsk and Bagby. There is no need to pay for any look ups at Northallerton records office, I will pop in and look for you. So if you have a good sort out and decide what you need looking at, I will do it. Linda

Hi , Liz , According to the Curious Fox site Bagby is within 4 kilometres of Thirsk .Seems he's quite a candidate !!! Did you know that you can obtain copies of parish records from North Yorks. records office in Northallerton ??? Costs £4.65... Joyce..

Hi , Liz , Forgot to add these...1823 Thirsk Directory of Professions... Clarkson .John , Boot and shoemaker , Westgate. Clarkson Thomas , ditto .. St. James Green , Clarkson James farmer ditto , Clarkson John rope and twine maker Long street.. Might be useful !!!!! Joyce..

Hi Liz, You are very welcome. I just looked him up on the 1861 Census and he gives his birth place as near Thirsk so the Bagby one could well be him. Lyn

Think nothing of it , Liz... Glad I could find something , Regards , Joyce...

Hi Eileen, Thank you for that .. its a shame it is in Finghall though!!!! Liz x

Hi Spring Fairy, I had a look and that does look promising as his first two children are Jane and John. I will have to look further into that. Thank you very much for your thoughts and time. Liz :o}

Oh Joyce thank you soooooo much!!! Not exactly what I was looking for but you managed to find his marriage - something I hadn't previously found and greatly appreciate!!! :~} Liz

Liz there's a Thomas Clarkson baptised 1792 in Bagby who might be worth looking at. I have family from Bagby and they often give Thirsk as their birthplace in the censuses

Hi Georgina, Thank you so much for that but I don't think it is him. I'm pretty sure it was 1793 as when he died in Hampstead in 1876 he was 83 which also ties in with the 1861 census where his birth year is 1793. Liz

Liz are you sure of his birth year? THOMAS CLARKSON Male Event(s): Birth: Christening: 24 NOV 1802 Thirsk, Yorkshire, England Death: Burial: Parents: Father: THOMAS CLARKSON Mother: GRACE BUMBY Georgina.

Hi, I'm desperately trying to find my GGG grandfather Thomas Clarkson's birth/christening in Thirsk Yorkshire ca 1793. I cannot find him on the IGI or BIVRI. Is anyone able to assist me in my quest? Thank you so much. Liz
