janettejoy@sbcglobal.net Can anyone tell me if the Mrs. Thornton that Roy Nixon mentions
on the Ravenfield Pages of this site is Gertrude
Thornton, who was married to Ernest and the mother of Zilla, Jesse, Margaret,
and Kathleen? My late Uncle married Margaret, and my late Aunt married Jesse.
Thank you.

Dear Mr Doxey
I have just come across your excellent site of
Ravenfield. I am led to beleive my GGGG Grandfather William Garside
(Husbandman) was married in Ravenfield to an Elizabeth Rogers on the
20/09/1784, but I'm not sure where he was born or any other details on
either William or Elizabeth. Any information you could help me with would
be very gratefully received as I have hit a brick wall with my research,
Kindest regards Chrys Callan

I am researching the Butler family in South
Yorkshire. I was born in Maltby, son of Jim and Jenny Butler. If you lived in
the area some years back, you will probably have seen our bright red lorries
carrying limestone from Stainton to build the local motorways. I now live in
Melbourne, just down t'rowd from John Doxey in Sydney (actually a 12 hour
drive!).
I have followed the trail back to Charles Butler,
born in Thyrbergh in 1787 to Charles and Jane, nee Roebuck. This Charles was
born in Hooton Roberts in 1750 to Edward Butler. The Thrybergh Charles married
Mary ??? and they had Ann and George, my great-great-grandfather. When Mary
died in 1817, Charles married Mary Stables (see the magnificent site at
www.stableshistory.co.uk managed by
Michael Chance). The challenge now is to find who the first Mary was and where
Edward came from, to follow the family back further.
With help from John Doxey and Sheila Kahn, I have
information on Roebucks back to William, born in Ravenfield in 1661, and his
father Oliver. I would like to find links from these Roebucks through to the
Roebuck family in Betsy's great site (www.robertroebuckancestry.com).
Great work with the Thrybergh - Ravenfield -
Dalton sites, John - keep up the good work!

My interest is in the Jackson family who lived at Firsby Hall Farm from about
1825 to 1870. Peter and Elizabeth Jackson came from Ackworth West Yorkshire
and took tenancy of this farm. They had a family of 6 or 7 children, the
eldest of whom was John Jackson. John married Maria Mutton who was a Lady's
Maid at Ravenfield Hall to Constantia Walker who was in residence at that
time. (1841 census)
John and Maria Jackson then lived at Firsby Hall Farm with John and
Elizabeth. They had nine children, eight of whom were baptised at Ravenfield
Church, the eldest at St Peters Conisbrough. I think they all received a good
education so might have gone to the Ravenfield School. Does anyone know if
pupils' names are listed anywhere. The names are William (b. 1843), John
Peter (b.1846), Emily Elizabeth (b.1847), Lucy Ann (b.1849), Annie Maria
(b.1851), Martin Richard (my great grandfather b.1853), Arthur Thomas
(b.1855), Frederick Hugh (b.1857) and George (b.1860). The three girls went
into service in very prestigious households whilst John, Maria and their sons
moved to Darnall Sheffield c.1862 where the males worked as coach builders for
the railway..
There are a number of my family of Jacksons buried in Ravenfield churchyard.
