I have traced my direct family back to Thrybergh. In 1810 Peter Thomas
Legatt married Catherine Legatt at Thrybergh, I understand that her parents
were William and Mary Legatt and her Grandfather was John Legatt. I know
that Peter Thomas Legatts father was Peter who married Sarah Robinson, they
married in Heslington but Peter is supposed to have come from Thrybergh.
Does anyone have information on the Legatt Family
Interest: Legat and Legatt, resided in late 18th to middle 19th century at
Thrybergh lodge or Lodge farm, any info about this family will be much
appreciated. Martin

Thrybergh I have a photocopy of I think is a newpaper clipping featuring a
gathering of six decendants at the centenary of his death, he was also a
poet, I have no dates of when this article was in the paper and the copy I

Mary Elizabeth Fullerton
Mefullertonnvsf@aol.com
I am searching for information regarding the death of my great-grandfather,
John Reginald Fullerton, son of Reverend Arthur Fullerton of Thrybergh. He
had emmigrated to Canada about 1880. Legend has it that he died in a polo
match near San Francisco. I am wondering if any information might have made
it back to his birthplace of Thrybergh. Death records for that period in and
around San Francisco were destroyed during the great earthquake. My guess at
the approximate date of his death is vague-the 1890's or first decade of the
"new"century. My grandfather, also John Reginald Fullerton returned to
England with his mother, Ada Clarice Fullerton Lawson for his education. I
believe Ada died there during World War I. I have her letters; the last is
dated 1918.

working as a gardener at Chiswick, then coming to Pilsley, Derbyshire to be
a gardener and part time farmer. After which he seems to have moved to

the larger houses in the area?

My problem is that I have an ancestor called
Charles Duck who was Coachman. One of my contacts also has a Charles Duck a
Coachman who married Deborah Askin a Thrybergh girl at St Georges Hanover
Square London in 1813. Their daughter Keziah was baptised in 1813 in
Thrybergh with a reference to the Fullerton family in the margin. No trace
of either Charles or Deborah was found by my contact after that date, apart
from Keziah's wedding in 1839.
I have a Charles Henry Martin Duck who married at St Clements Dane London in
1840, fr Charles Martin Duck a Coachman. I have found a wedding in 1818 at
St Andrews Holborn London of a Charles Duck and a Mary Martin, but the entry
does not say Batchelor or Widower and soes not give occupation. I have been
unable to trace any children including my Charles Henry Martin Duck.
There are a number of Fullerton marriages and baptisms at these and other
Westminster churches at this time, which makes me think that the Fullertons
had a London residence and that Charles & Deborah met and married in London
and then went back with their employers to Thrybergh. I also wonder if
Deborah die and Charles remarried Mary Martin.
Only staff records if any were kept by the Fullertons would tell. Any help
would be much appreciated. David

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

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.
