Parish clerks were only partly literate, word spellings not finalised and they often just wrote down what they heard. In fact a surname can be spelt two different ways in the same sentence.<\/p>\n

Browsing the family histories which intertwine on the red1st.com website, I appear to be related to half the families in the Isle of Axholme, following the Tills of Crowle, Haxey and Owston Ferry, I reached via his daughter Anne, Anthony Kitchen, born Isle of Axholme, probably Belton in 1585. Annie Elizabeth Till born Owston 1830 was my great-grandmother. Using the information to tease the wife of a childhood friend, he declared it can\u2019t be me, my name is spelt differently, Kitching.<\/p>\n

Well you cannot use that excuse.<\/p>\n

1540.Robertus Goldthrop filius Johis Goldthrop
\n1541.September. Arturis filius Thome Goldthorpe bapt xix die mensis eiusdem.

\n1544 June. Dorothea Golthorpe filia Thome Goldthrope.
\nJuly Willm Goldthorpe generosis fuit sepultus die euisdem mensis.
\nWilliam Goldthorpe buried the same day, 29th July.<\/p>\n

Lord of five Manors, Shepley, Goldthorpe, Billingley, Bolton on Deane, and Barnborough. He was the last Goldthorpe Lord of Shepley, which started with the marriage in 1361 of Robin, Robin de Goldthorpe\u2019s son to Esabul, half heiress with her sister Dionyssia to William de Shepley. <\/p>\n

He only had a daughter Joan, the manor was entailed and inherited by his nephew, Thomas, who sold up and left the area.<\/p>\n

All other Goldthorp\u2019s are descended from younger sons. William Goldthorpes appear frequently amongst their descendants.<\/p>\n

1546. Johis filius Johis Golthorp baptizat primo die June 1551. He was buried 91 days later.<\/p>\n

\nElizabat filia Wilhelmi Goldethroppe bapt erat eodem die and eodem mensis. (same day and month.)<\/p>\n

William and his son Rauffe(Radolphus) Goldthorpe are my direct ancestors, 12th and 11th generations. As a yeoman, (One who owns and works his own small estate, to the value of 40 shillings per annum, which allowed him to sit on a jury and vote for the County Sheriff), William would be considered well-to-do. Yet even his son Rauffe ensured fertility before marriage. <\/p>\n

Derbyshire hill farmers had a saying with regard to marriage.
\n\u201cYou do not buy a heifer until it is in calf.\u201d
\nIt is not sexist no potential farmer\u2019s wife would want a sterile bull.<\/p>\n

The crude Latin now moves onto English.

\nAlyce Gouldthorpe filia Ralphe Gouldthorpe baptizatus the same day.
\n10 Jan. 1583 Willym Goldthorpe buried. My direct ancestor the yeoman.<\/p>\n

I cannot however claim the Goldthorpe Y (male) chromosome. Thanks to an adventurous lady Mary Goldthorp of Shelley in Kirkburton parish born 1759 who had five children by five different males and neglected to marry any of them. At least I know, there will no doubt be several men reading this who have not got the Y chromosome that they think they have got. In fact it shows how modern the current Goldthorps are.<\/p>\n

This last William Goldthorpe born 1589, wife unknown. Probably married in another parish in 1615.
\nFirst child baptised John Gowldthorppe son of William Gowldthroppe 10 March 1616.
\n Kirkburton Registers for 26th March 1617 to 25th March 1627 are missing.

The registers record John, William\u2019s oldest child being buried 22nd February 1648. Age 32.
\nAlso William son of William being buried 16th November 1643 and James son of William on 25th April 1646. When were they born, if between 1617 and 1627, they would be young men. <\/p>\n

There is a six year gap in William\u2019s family, 1629 to 1635, where was he?<\/p>\n

Three of his sons die in early adulthood, very unusual, usually deaths occur in childhood.
\nThis is the time of the English Civil wars ending with the execution of Charles 1st in 1649. Were they soldiers?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
