Any Yorkshire experts??? Are any of these places close together??? Please see below..........

My gt gt grandfather, John Clemmitt was born in Huttons Ambo Yorkshire, according to the census' in about 1822. He Lived in cottage 2 Pear Tree Hill near railway station at Huttons Ambo. He was a Railway plate layer. He lived there in 1871 (clemnilt ), 1881 (Flemeaith), 1891. He died 1900. His wife was Mary from Youlthorpe. My trouble is I can't find any other Clemmitt's from Huttons Ambo, other than his children. I have no idea how to find his parents or siblings. Does anyone have any suggestions please????

I have just found a John Clemet born in Huttons Ambo in 1821. This sounds promising don't you think??? He has a sister Hannah Clemet born 1820.........parents Robert Clemet & Ann. Then I found a Robert CLEMITT marrying Ann Etty in 1807 in Saint Sampson, York, Yorkshire, England. Is this place near Huttons Ambo & would they have married 13 years before having children??? I've also found a birth of Robert Clemmit in Lythe in 1782. Do you think this is a possibility??

Hi Karen Hutton Cranswick and Skerne are in the East Riding and are pretty close together. Huttons Ambo and Lythe are in North Yorkshire and I believe St Sampson is in York Jeanette x

Thanks Steve. That is great news! I must be on the right track !! What about Kirby Misperton ?? Is that close as well? I found a marriage for a Harriot Clemmet there. Thanks

Is York close by???

Kirby Misperton is North Yorks again - near Pickering

You beauty ! What about Bulmer??

Bulmer is North Yorks again - not far from Malton, so sort of in the Pickering area

Fantastic !! I think I might have finally tracked them down !! If only they could spell their name !! LOL thanks very much for youur help!

You're welcome Karen

hi, Just a thought, type AA route planner into your search engine. It's only UK and Ireland but gives you the distance between any 2 destinations. I find it useful to work out if rellies are still in same area. Hope it helps. Joan

I used to live in Skerne at a cottage called Lillygarth Farm when I was really little (which was in about 1750!). It is only a tiny village and is near Driffield, as is Hutton Cranswick in East Yorkshire. I can remember the milkman coming round and ladling the milk out into an enamel jug. Just shows how ancient I am!

do they have elctricity in Skerne yet! lol

As far as I can remember we even had electricity back in the mists of time!

Thanks Joan, I'll give it a try

My grandma always said she was from oop north...(she was from Leeds)......I loved her accent. I can't wait to travel over there one day. I hope these little towns still exist. Karen

Karen - check your thread on the records board for details on this family in 1861 and 1851
