Thought I'd check out this site to see if it would provide any new leads, but, as it is obviously in its infancy, it managed to tell me the information I had put in, nothing more. For anyone who wants info on Mapplebeck, I have quite a few pieces of my own personal jigsaw and many others that are no doubt connected in some way or another ... I just haven't got round to trying to piece it together yet. From the info I've got, it would appear that the name has a long history in areas around Doncaster, Pontefract, Rotherham, Goole/Hull and York. In later years, the name migrated to North East England ( my lot around Middlesbrough plus another family). Another branch seems to have headed to the Birmingham area and more went to the capital. There still seems to be plenty in the south yorks area and quite a few in the USA and Canada. I am sure we are all related in some way seeing as it is such an uncommon and unusual name. The earliest Mapplebeck I have found so far is from 1379 ( I cant remember his name at the moment, either Ricardus or Robertus, plus his wife Beatrix. He is noted as being a "Webester" and plying his trade in Rotherham. Is he the father of us all? |
