From She also leaves to Thomas Ward, her god son, and also to Robert Ward the younger. So, this also fits because this Robert Ward had sons Thomas and Robert. Also, Robert married Anna Welden in Apr 5 1560. Cristine leaves something to 'my coussyn old Mrs Welden' … perhaps this was her connection to Robert Ward… Anna's mother maybe? | WARD, Robert (I7613)

(fn. 118) Robert Ward held two messuages and 12 oxgangs in 1625, of which half was held of Sir George Conyers of Sockburn.

This area was once called Nesbitt Island. The present day 101 Highway crosses Nesbitt Street where the King property was once located. Nearby is a well known landmark, the leaning chimney of the textile mill. Edward had a nickname, Gas King, probably derived from his occupation." Quoted from an email from Carolyn Brooks, Edward's great great granddaughter. On the marriage record of Edward's daughter in 1880, she says her father's occupation is 'mechanic' On the marriage record of Edward's daughter Maud in 1883 she gives Edward's occupation as 'carpenter' On the marriage record in 1883 son James gives his parents names as 'Edward and Caroline' and his father's occupation as 'wheelwright'. On son James' 2nd marriage record in 1902 he gives his father's occupation as freight manager. In Hutchison's Directory of 1865 Edward is listed as "laborer, house, Island point, near Gas works" In Hutchison's Directory of 1867 Edward is listed as "railway station". | KING, Edward (I6148)

He was born in the year 1594, educated at St. Omer's, entered the Society in 1619, and was professed in 1634. He taught theology for some time at Liege, and was esteemed an able divine; he also served the English Mission, and for several years was chaplain to the Countess of Newport in London. He was recalled to Liege in 1647, and again professed theology, but returned to England in 1649, where he died, June 21, 1654, age 60." From the book "Records of the English province of the Society of Jesus ... in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries" by Henry Foley - another source says "George Ward, alias Ingleby, alias Vernon" His entry in the book Records of the English province of the Society of Jesus... in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries states: "Ward, George, Father, alias Ingleby,a native of Yorkshire, son of Marmaduke Ward, Esq.,of Newby, near Ripon, and his wife Ursula Wright. He was brother to the holy nun, Mary Ward, the Foundress of the Order of the Institute of the B.V.M. He was born in 1596 according to the majority of the Catalogues, though some say in 1594, and one in 1598. He entered the Society 1619, and was professed of the four vows March 7, 1634. In 1628 he was a missioner in London, and in 1633, and for several years, Professor of Philosophy and Theology at Liege.

He was ordained Priest there, April 29, 1618, and died in Ireland about 1645. (Records S.J. vol. vi., as above.) The name of Ward is conspicuous in Peacock's Yorkshire Catholics and Recusants (1604). Among others, we find mention in Ripon of "Elizabeth Ward, wife of Marmaduke Ward; Jenet Ward, wife of John Ward," recusants." | WARD, George (I7862)

His lands, which had been seized by the crown, were restored to him, as appears by the following order: 1217, November 3. A writ was sent to the Sheriff to Yorkshire, commanding him to give to Nicholas Ward such seisin of his lands as he had before he withdrew from faith and service of King John, and to which he was disseised by order of Henry III, he having now returned to his allegiance." 1248, August 19.- Nicholas obtained a grant of free warren to himself and his heirs, in all his demesne lands in Gyvendale and Escheholt. circa 1248.---Nicholas Ward granted to Esholt Priory all the land in Hawkesworth that he bought from Robert son of Martin de Hawkesworth and half the toft which belonged to Siward de Hawkesworth.

Her possessions ranged from over £4 worth of clothes, linen and shoes, down to 2s for trenchers but she also lost £5 in cash. In Barbary’s case we are actually in touch with one of her descendants and have been able to find out quite a bit about her family. By coincidence the same correspondent is also descended from Bartholomew Blenkiron who claimed £6 6s and 10d to rebuild his house but was presumably renting it out as he didn’t lose any personal property." | Source (S927)

| 43 | "In the seventeenth century prospecting for lead was taking place throughout the Dales area, and the industry was developing as new methods allowed workings to go deeper underground. Prospecting certainly took place in the Carlton area, as Carlton Moor and the neighbouring fells are peppered with the remains of small workings, but no worthwhile deposits were discovered. The only lead mine of any size in Coverdale was between Braithwaite Hall and the river, opposite Coverham. This mine was working in 1670. There was no smelt mill in Coverdale, and the Braithwaite lead was smelted at the mill in Waldendale whose ruins can still be seen at Cote, at the bottom of the track from Carlton. In nearby places, including West Burton and Kettlewell,, the lead mining industry developed and provided very unhealthy employment""Braithwaite means 'broad clearing', which is quite apt as the area would have been forest around medieval times. It is a listed building and actually doesn't appear in any records until around 1610. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 1530s, the land was passed to the Crown before it was leased to a farmer. The Ward family took over in the late sixteenth century, followed by Thomas Horner of Coverdale." | Source (S1305)
