Earle Family of Richmond

Note

 

Included in this Parish is Barnabas Earle, Millwright born in Boroughbridge in 1723 who first moved to Thirsk and then Cawood before becoming the first Earle to settle in Richmond about the year 1760 at the age of 37. As the following entries show he appears to have been quite a character

 

There are also some records for Darlington, Northallerton and Eton as several families and individuals became more mobile with the advent of the railways in the mid-to-late 19th Century. On their own these records didn't warrant a separate chapter and have been included here given they all have links to the historic Georgian market town of Richmond

3) That the said Banabas Earle after the premises hath diverse and sundry times before witnesses, mostly of faith and credit as well in the presence of the said Hannah, the wife of Matthias Mills as out of her presence openly and publically confessed and acknowledged that he did repeat and speak the abovesaid defamatory and slanderous words to, of, or against the said Hannah, the wife of Matthias Mills and he propoundeth as above.

 

4) That by reason of speaking the said defamatory and slanderous words the good name, fame and character of the said Hannah, the wife of Matthias Mills is very much lessened and impaired with grave and sober persons with whom she heretofore had a good name and character and may probably be more lessened and impaired hereafter and he propoundeth as above.

Recognances taken and acknowledged at this session: -

 

Matthew Mills of Cawood in the said Riding, Miller: £20

Barnabas Earl of Cawood aforesaid, Miller: £10

 

Conditioned that the said Matthew Mills do personally appear at the next General Quarter Sessions of the peace to be holden at Pontefract in and for the said Riding and then and there present his Traverse with effect of an Indictment preferred and found against him for a misdem'r and not depart the court without leave

 

The said Barnabas Earl: £20

The said Matthew Mills: £10

 

Conditioned that the said Barnabas Earl do personally appear at the next General Quarter Sessions of the peace to be holden at Pontefract in and for the said Riding and then and there present his Traverse with effect of an Indictment preferred and found against him for a misdem'r and not depart the court without leave

 

Note

 

Apart form the libel case little is known of Matthias Mills and his wife, Hannah and what lay behind the issues leading to the defamation case. The parish baptismal register for All Saint's Church in Cawood shows Matthias & Hannah had at least two children including a daughter, Hannah baptised on 30th December 1756 just five months after the ruling in the Dean and Chapter court and nine to ten months after Barnabas first started making his 'whore' allegations against Hannah

 

Perhaps Barnabas knew something, or thought he knew something about the parentage of Hannah Mill's baby. Whatever the truth, the Dean and Chapter Court certainly didn't agree with his views and the imposition of a fine amounting to £7 15s. 7d. must have made Barnabas think twice about his accusation

 

The parish registers show that a year-or-so later Barnabas and his young family had moved away from Cawood to Richmond where soon after he was in trouble with the authorities again for refusing to perform common days work on the high roads as required by statute

Note

 

When individuals move from one parish to another it is vital to find a linking document in order to prove and continue the family connection to avoid having to rely purely on birth and burial dates or names of first born children. When linking Francis Earle of Boroughbridge to his birth parish in Spofforth a simple voting record proved to be the connection.

 

This marriage certificate is one such linking document as it identifies the young William Earl to the parish of Catterick at the time of his first marriage. The hamlet of Uckerby where the Earle family ran the mill was once part of the parish of Catterick before later being included in the parish of Bolton-on-Swale

This extract from the larger map of Richmond in the latter part of the 18th Cenrury shows the area around the Green close to the river Swale. To the right of the bridge at the foot of the steep bank nearest the castle are the buildings noted as 'the old dye house' where William ran his busness.

 

The original buildings have been replaced with newer dwellings though some old stonework remains which would likely have been part of the old dye house. Interestingly there is a nameplate on one gateway called Earls Court which cannot be a coincidence.

George Bow

Thomas Pratt

Joseph Burrill

 

Note

 

What starts out as a fairly mundane Will ends with William threatening to cut out his daughter, Jane from inheriting her share of his estate should she ever marry Joseph Barker, a mason from Masham Moor Heads. What caused his obvious dislike for Joseph, or his family we shall perhaps never know. We do know however that shortly after William died Jane married an Italian, Francis Poulucci. It is likely this was her own choice given William's estate was only valued at £20 (current worth approx £700) and Jane's share of that sum would hardly seem likely to sway her mind from marrying Joseph if she was so inclined.

A Publican Entertaining Friend During Prohibited Hours

A case of some importance came before the North Riding justices at Richmond on Saturday. Henry Firby, keeper of the Good Intent, at Richmond, appeared to answer a charge of having his house open during prohibited hours. Between twelve and one o'clock, a.m. on the 10th inst. Supt. Gregory observed a light in the house. He went to the window and peered through between the blind and the sash, and saw William Earle, wool merchant, fellmonger and farmer, and Stephen Wilson Close, butcher and farmer, sitting smoking a cigar, each of them with a glass of grog before him. The superintendant knocked at the door and was allowed admission. The gentlemen were still there, and he questioned the landlord about it and the reply he received was, "its a bad job."

 

In cross-examination by Mr L S Thompson, who represented the defendant, the witness said the room was at the front of the house. There was no attempted concealment, and he never saw any money pass. This evidence was corroborated and Mr Thompson submitted that the case had entirely fallen through. The gentlemen, he contended, were bona fide friends of the defendant, an argument he supported by reading the Act, which stated that a landlord could entertain his own private friends. From the evidence which was called for the defence it appeared that Mr Earle and the defendant had 80 sheep between them. A few days ago defendant invited Mr Close to go down and they would have a bargain for them. Mr Close accordingly went down calling upon Mr Earle on his way. They, of course, had a glass of grog each, but the landlord never charged them for it. Superintendant Gregory admitted that a landlord could entertain his own private friends, but argued that the gentlemen had gone to the house on business.

 

The Bench said there was a doubt, and giving defendant the benefit, the case was dismissed

 

Note

 

Lawrence S Thompson representing the defendant above was married to Catherine Earl the second daughter of Christopher Earl. William Earle enjoying the grog and cigar at his friends hostelry being the nephew of Christopher Earl

Christopher Earl, of Richmond, dated 13th July 1886

THIS IS THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT of me Christopher Earl of Richmond in the County of York, Gentleman made this thirteenth day of July one thousand eight hundred and eighty six. I appoint my friend Thomas Inman Earl[5] of Bolton upon Swale and my cousin William Poole of Carthorpe near Thirsk both in the said County of York hereinafter called ‘my trustees’ to be the Executors of this my Will and trustees for the purposes hereinafter expressed. I direct that the expression ‘my trustees’ where the same is hereafter used shall include the said Thomas Inman Earle and William Poole and the survivor of them and their heirs, executors and administrators of such survivor and other the trustees or trustee for the time being of my Will. I bequeath all my plate, linen, china, glass, books, pictures, prints, wine liquors, furniture and other household effects to my daughter Hannah Isabella Earl absolutely. I forgive to my daughter Catherine and her husband Lawrence Smith Thompson all monies advanced by me to them or otherwise due from them to me up to and at the date of this my Will. I give to my said daughter Hannah Isabella a legacy, or sum of fifty pounds sterling. I devise and bequeath my freehold messuage, or dwelling house with the offices, garden and appurtenances thereunto belonging situate on the west side of Bargate in Richmond aforesaid now in my own occupation and also my garden on the east side of Bargate aforesaid also in my own occupation and also the leasehold messuage or dwelling house with the coach house, outbuildings, stabling, offices and garden behind the same thereunto belonging and adjoining my said dwelling house and now in the occupation of William Russell and also all those two closes of freehold land situate in the township of Hipswell in the said County which I purchased off Clarkson’s mortgagee and known by the names of Potters Close and Barwells Close now in my own occupation unto my trustees to the use of my trustees during the present lives of John Sharman and my daughter Jane Ann his wife and the life of the survivors of them upon trust to pay the rents, issues and profits thereof as and when they shall be due and not by way of anticipation unto my said daughter Jane Ann during her life for her separate use independent of her present or any future husband for which rents, issues and profits her receipts atone shall be discharged to my trustees and from and after her decease upon trust to pay the said rents, issues and profits unto the said John Sharman if he shall survive my said daughter Jane Ann during her life with remainder to the use of the children if more than one equally or the child if only one wholly of my said daughter Jane Ann in fee simple with non-limitations of the shares original and accruing of each of them on his or her dying under the age of twenty one years without leaving issue. To the use of the others equally or the other only in fee simple and I declare that it be lawful to any trustee at any time or times during the continuance of the trusts hereinbefore contained concerning the same and with the consent in writing of the person for the time being entitled to the rents, issues and profits thereof full privilege and capacity and if there shall be no such person then in their, or his unconditional discretion to sell the said freehold messuage or dwelling house, offices, garden and appurtenances situate on the west side of Bargate aforesaid now in my own occupation and the said garden situate on the east side of Bargate aforesaid also in my own occupation and also the said leasehold messuage or dwelling house, coach house, out buildings, stabling, offices and garden now in the occupation of the said William Russell or any part, or parts thereof respectively and that my trustees shall stand possessed of the monies by them from time-to-time received from such sale, or sales after payment there out of all costs and expenses attending the same upon such trusts and subject to such provisions as are hereinafter declared concerning the first named of the three equal parts, or shares of the residuary trust funds hereinafter referred to. I devise all those four closes of freehold grass land formerly in six closes situate near Sandbeck in the township of Hudswell in the said County commonly called Carkins with the woodland thereto adjoining purchased by me of the trustees of Robert Hodgson deceased and now in my own occupation and also all those two closes of freehold grassland situate near Hudswell aforesaid purchased by me off William Stubbs unto my trustees to the use of my trustees during the joint lives of my daughter Hannah Isabella and any husband with whom she may intermarry and the life of the survivor of them upon trust to pay the rents, issues and profits of the said premises lastly hereinbefore devised as and when they shall be received and not by way of anticipation unto my said daughter Hannah Isabella during her life for her separate use independently of any husband with whom she may intermarry for which rents, issues and profits her receipts alone shall be discharged to my trustees and from and after her decease upon trust to pay the said last mentioned rents, issues and profits unto any husband with whom my said daughter Hannah Isabella may intermarry and whom survive her during his life with remainder to the use of the children of more than one equally or the child if only one wholly of my said daughter Hannah Isabella in fee simple with cross limitations of the shares original and accruing of each of them on his or her dying under the age of twenty one years without having issue to the use of the others equally or the other only in fee simple. I devise the three closes of freehold land which I bought off Clarkson’s mortgagee situate near Sandbeck in the said township of Hudswell and known by the names of Low Holme and Water Low Mires and High Mires now in my own occupation unto and to the use of my trustees during the life of my said daughter Catherine the wife of Lawrence Smith Thompson upon trust to pay the rents, issues and profits thereof when received to my said daughter Catherine by equal weekly or quarterly instalments as they shall in their uncontrolled discretion think expedient and so that during the lifetime of her present, or any future husband the same shall be for her sole and separate use until she shall reassign, change or otherwise dispose of the said rents, issues and profits or some part thereof by way of anticipation or attempt so to do or shall as or suffer some act or thing whereby the same rents, issues and profits if payable to herself would become vested in some other person or persons and if she shall make any such assignment, change or other disposition by way of anticipation or attempt so to do or suffer any such act or thing as aforesaid then upon trust during the remainder of the life of my said daughter Catherine Thompson to apply the said rents, issues and profits in such manner as they, or he shall in their or his uncontrolled discretion think proper for the maintenance and support or otherwise for the benefit of all or any one or more exclusively of the others or other of the children of my said daughter Catherine or if she shall have no children living at any time after making or attempting to make any such assignments, change or other disposition or doing or suffering any such act or thing as aforesaid for the benefit of my said daughters Jane Ann and Hannah Isabella with remainder to the use of the children if more than one equally or the child if only one wholly of my said daughter Catherine in fee simple with cross limitations of the shares original and accruing of each of them on his or her dying under the age of twenty-one years without issue to the use of the others equally or the other only in fee simple. And my Will is and I hearby direct that if and when any one of my said daughters shall either before or after my decease die without issue capable of taking under the uses hereinbefore limited then, but subject nevertheless to any interest created under the provisions herein contained in favour of any husband who may survive her I direct that the hereditaments and premises hereinbefore devised upon trusts and to uses in favour of such daughter, her husband and issue or of such daughter and her issue as the case may be and the rents, issues and profits thereof shall stand and be limited as to one moiety thereof upon the trusts and to the uses hereinbefore declared and limited in favour of the elder of such of my said daughters as may survive my said daughter so dying as aforesaid her husband and issue or her issue only as the case may be as to part of the hereditaments and premises hereinbefore devised. And as to the other moiety thereof upon the trusts and to the uses hereinbefore declared and limited in favour of the younger of such of my said daughters as may survive my daughter so dying as aforesaid her husband and issue or her issue only as the case may be as to the other part of the hereiditaments and premises hereinbefore devised. And my Will is and I further devise that if and when any two of my said daughters shall either before or after my decease die without issue capable of taking under the uses hereinbefore limited then I but subject nevertheless to any interest created under the provisions herein contained in favour of the husband of either of them the hereditaments and premises hereinbefore devised upon trusts and to the uses in favour of such daughters or dying as aforesaid and their respective husbands and issue, or issue as the case may be whether original or accruing under the discretion lastly hereinbefore contained shall stand and be limited upon the trusts and to the uses hereinbefore declared and limited in favour of the survivor of my said daughters her husband and issue only as the case may be as to the remainder of the hereditaments and premises hereinbefore devised. I devise and bequeath all my real and personal estate not hereby otherwise disposed of to my trustees upon trust to sell, call in and convert into money the same or such part thereof as shall not consist of money and shall with and out of the money produced from such sale, calling in and conversion and with and out of such part of my personal estate as shall consist of money pay my funeral and testamentary expenses and debts and the legacies bequeathed by this my Will and any codicil thereto and shall stand possessed of the residue of the said money as to one equal third part, or share thereof in trust for my said daughter Jane Ann Sharman absolutely for her sole and separate use free from the control of any husband. And as to one other equal third part or share thereof in trust for my said daughter Hannah Isabella Earl absolutely for her sole and separate use free from the control of any husband. And as to the remaining one equal third part or share thereof upon trust to invest the same with power for my trustees from time-to-time to vary such investments and shall stand possessed of such remaining one third part and the investments for the time being representing the same upon trust to pay the income thereof when received to my said daughter Catherine by equal weekly or quarterly instalments as they shall in their uncontrolled discretion think expedient and so that during the lifetime of her present, or any future husband the same shall be for her sole and separate use until she shall assign, change or otherwise dispose of the same or some part thereof by way of anticipation or attempt to do so or shall do or suffer some act or other thing whereby the same income if payable to herself would become vested in some other person, or persons. And if she shall make any such assignments, change or other disposition by way of anticipation or attempt so to do or suffer any such act or thing as aforesaid then upon trust during the remainder of the life of my said daughter Catherine to apply the said income in such manner as they or he shall in their or his uncontrolled discretion think proper for the maintenance and support or otherwise for the benefit of all or any one or more exclusively of the others, or other of the children of my said daughter Catherine or if she shall have no children living at my death after making, or attempting to make any such assignment, change or other disposition on doing or suffering any such act or thing as aforesaid for the benefit of my said daughters Jane Ann and Hannah Isabella. And from and after the death of my said daughter Catherine in trust for all of the children of my said daughter Catherine who being sons shall attain the age of twenty one years, or being daughters shall attain that age or marry under that age in equal shares. And if there shall be only one such child the whole to be in trust for that one child and if there shall be no child of the aforesaid Catherine Thompson who being a son shall attain the age of twenty one years, or being a daughter shall attain this age or marry, then in trust for my said daughters Jane Ann Sharman and Hannah Isabella Earl in equal shares absolutely. And I declare that my trustees may with the consent in writing of my said daughter Catherine during her life and after her decease at their discretion use any part, or parts not exceeding together one moiety of the expectant share of any child under this my Will and apply the same for his or her advancement, preferment or benefit as my trustees shall think fit and I also declare that my trustees may let any hereditaments for the time being remaining unsold either from year-to-year or for any term of years at such rents and subject to such covenants as they shall think fit and may accept surrenders of leases and tenancies sell timber and other things standing on the said hereditaments whether for sale, repairs or otherwise and generally may manage the same in such manner as they shall think fit and the proceeds of any timber sold by my trustees shall be considered as income and paid and applied accordingly and I also declare that all monies to be invested under this my Will may be invested in or upon any stocks, funds, or securities of or guaranteed by the government of the United Kingdom or of any British country, or dependency or in the stock of the Bank of England or the debentures or debenture stock in guaranteed or preference stock or shares of any railway or other company in Great Britain or India incorporated by Act of Parliament or Royal Charter and paying a dividend on its ordinary stock or shares upon real or leasehold securities in England or Wales but not elsewhere such lease and securities being held for a term whereof sixty years at least shall be expected? at the time of such investments and in lending money on any mortgage security my trustees may accept whatever title or evidence of title shall appear to them sufficient and in particular may in the case of leasehold securities waive the production the lessors title without being answerable for any loss arising thereby and my trustees may release any part of the property comprised in any mortgage security if satisfied that the remaining property is a sufficient security for the money owing thereon.
