2. John Ainsley

John Ainsley born 9 February 1730 and buried 9 March 1807, seems to be the son of John Ainsley who married Margaret Leyng. It is not known where he spent his early years nor where his own first surviving children were born, but the fifth, Richard, was born at Cock Flatt farm in 1768 and was followed by four more children also born at Cock Flatt farm. The Lengs had been farming Cock Flatt in 1700, so it seems as though John (No. 1) and Margaret followed on at the farm till the death of John (No. 1) in 1737 or that when John (No. 2) grew up, he took over and was at Cock Flatt by the time Richard was born in 1768. His name was the first Ainsley to appear in the Estate records, being no doubt the one who was farming at Cock Flatt in 1781, on 88 acres. (It is thought that the late Peter Brown had a note that John (No. 2) had a son also John (No. 3) born at Cock Flatt, 1760, but it is not known where that information could have come from or whether it was correct). John (No. 2) made his Will in 1802, at Cock Flatt, naming his wife Alice as executrix (she was born 22 July 1733 and died in 1815, but her maiden name is not known), in the Will he named individually all his eight surviving children (a ninth, Alice was born 28 September 1766 and had died 1768, aged two years). His Will said "Whereas all my children have already received all or nearly all of their fortunes I give to each of them ..." (small amounts of cash varying from one guinea to five pounds) and his "implements of husbandry" to his son Stephen, born 1769, who eventually succeeded him at Cock Flatt, as at least three of his elder brothers had by that time settled down elsewhere.

3. John Ainsley

John was born 21 September 1760, "son of John", and was buried from Low Crosset on 24 January 1839, aged 78. On 24 February 1784 he married Hannah Atkinson, and as Atkinsons were farming both Low Crosset and High Crosset, at that period there can be little doubt that Hannah belonged to one of those families, especially in view of the fact that John and Hannah were soon at Low Crosset and remained there till they died and all their children were born there except William (Henry) who was baptised from High Crosset. John (No.3) having died in 1839, their son John (No.5), born 1788, became "Head" of Low Crosset by the time of the 1841 Census. At that Census, Hannah was still at Low Crosset described as "age 70, Ind." (i.e. Independent). We have a letter written 20 February 1847 by Joseph (No.10), one of the nine children, to his "Dear Brother" John (now the "Head" at Low Crosset) about another brother Thomas (No.11), and the letter ended "Give my love to Mother" -who was obviously Hannah née Atkinson - she was buried from Low Crosset on 31 August 1847, aged 79. The 1841 census also showed at Low Crosset, Ann aged 13, whilst the 1851 census showed her as Ann aged 23, niece, unmarried, and she was therefore no doubt Nanny (No.38), daughter of William (Henry) (No.4), the first son of John and Hannah. John made his Will on 14 January 1839, and died a week later, on the 21st, the Will did not mention all his children but, after leaving a Life Interest to his widow, (Hannah?), he left all to his "surviving sons and daughters" apart from leaving "implements and dairy utensils to John", and he named John (No.5) and William (No.4) as his executors. Of his daughters, Mary No.6), born 1795, married John Barr in 1832, Nanny (No.195), born 1784 at Low Crosset , had died 1786 also at Low Crosset, and Hannah (No.8), born 1798, at Low Crosset had obviously died before the date of her father's Will made in 1839 (see No.8).

Miss Ida Atkinson has now told me that Hannah Atkinson whom John Ainsley married in 1784 was the daughter of William Atkinson of High Crosset, as shown in her baptismal entry at Helmsley. Hannah and John obviously lived at High Crosset when first married, because their first son, William (Henry), was born there, but they soon took over Low Crosset from her Uncle Joseph and the rest of their children were there. Hannah, herself, was born probably in September 1767 and was christened 6 October 1767, was married 24 February 1784 and died 31 August 1847 at Low Crosset aged 79.

147. William Ainsley

William was born 7 February 1762, son of John Midcable. Until January 1989 that was the only information we had about him but we had him as born 7 February 1761, on the basis of this incorrect year 1761 we had thought he could not be brother of John born 21 September 1760 and therefore might give us a lead to discover one of the two brothers said to have come into Bilsdale from Scotland, also he might be a missing William who according to our tradition was father of William (Henry) (No. 4) but Mormon records show John born 1760 as father of William (Henry) born 11 December 1785, and, both a John and a William are mentioned individually in the 1802 Will of their father John born 1730 (No. 2). Our original record of the birth of William 1761 was shown to be wrong when Northallerton Records Office provided me with a printout from a microfilm of the original register showing the correct date to be 7 February 1762.

It is obviously William born 1762 who was a witness at the marriage of his brother John (No. 3) to Hannah Atkinson in 1784 and of the marriage of his brother Thomas (No. 152) to Hannah Garbutt in 1786.

In case we are still wrong, the following information may turn out useful:

According to an 1823 Directory (Mr Penrose's copy) a William was farming at Marske (Saltburn) and a William at Upleatham near Yarm.

Other records show: cf. page 4

John, son of William, Ingleby Greehow C. 25.9.1785
William, son of William, Great Ayton C. 25.9.1787 (day and month the same as above)
Jossey son of William, Great Ayton C. 7.10.1789
Elizabeth, daughter of William, Great Ayton C. 31.8.1795
Mary, daughter of William, Great Ayton C. 31.8.1797 (day and month the same as above)
Richard, son of William, Great Ayton C. 30.1.1792
William, son of William and Mary, Great Ayton C. 16.2.1800

If our William of 1762 had any or all of the above mentioned children it seems unlikely that he would have been a witness at the marriages of his two brothers in 1784 and 1786.

152. Thomas Ainsley

Thomas, son of John (No.2), born 8 May 1764 is thought to be the one who died at "Stockton" on 6 January 1842. He had married Hannah Garbutt on 18 November 1786, one witness being William (presumably his brother No.147). Hannah is believed to be the one who died at Hawterley 2 April 1841 at 75. She would have been born in 1766. Thomas is no doubt the one described as a "labourer" at Orrow (Urra) when his son Robert (No.181) was christened on 1 January 1802 at St. Hilda's. Robert married Ann/Hannah Garbutt of Whorlton (born 1806) and they had a son John (born 15 January 1832 and died 2 February 1832) at Brompton near Northallerton and at the 1851 Census was shown as farming at Kirby Sigston, aged 49, born in Bilsdale. See my notes re. Kirby Sigston. Thomas is thought to have been the progenitor of the Leeds line of "Martyn and Margaret" (No.193) because they believe that his son Thomas born 22 February 1807 (No.185) was their ancestor, farming at Orra (Urra). Robert and Hannah also had a daughter Mary Anne born 1829.
