I am trying to find out more about my 3 great granfather Frederick Walker (born 1850 in Ireton Wood), his parents were Joseph Walker (born 1807 in Ireton Wood, agricultural labourer) and Ann Hutchinson (born 1806 in Ireton Wood). I have driven around the village, so pretty and some lovely old cottages/barns. Would love to hear from anyone who knows the local history please. Jo

I am researching the Harrison family of Holbrook Moor.**William Harrison (1807-1884) married Charlotte Mellor at Duffield in 1830. In the 1841 to 1871 census he is a farmer of Holbrook Moor. In the 1881 census he was still a farmer but now a widower living with his son William and his family at Holbrook Moor. He was buried in Holbrook churchyard. He had at least eight children including Catherine (1839-1875) who married Robert Gowland in 1865 at Thirsk.**Any information on the family will be appreciated

I am looking for any information on a relative Henry Charles Webb who may have attended kirk Langley school from 1910~ he was born in India but came to england and stayed with relatives the Brough family at The Pastures farm. henry may have been at school with his cousin Gordon Brough~ who's father was Henry George Stables Brough. This information is urgently needed as Henry Webb's son is stranded in Zimbabwe and cannot get out unless he can prove his father spent his childhood in UK. Patrick has to have a British passport to leave the country. I am trying everything I know to assist in his release from this terrible place he is stuck in. his sister has got a home for him in Uk she got out as her husband had British Passport. Please if anyone can help at all I would be eternally grateful.Kathleen Baker
