Descendants of Joseph Welford [1774-1823]

Note

 

Due to the large number of Welford families and individuals inhabiting the parishes of Hinderwell, Lythe, Danby & Egon in the 19th century it seemed logical to follow the family line from each of the children, or grand children of Ralph & Hannah Welford of Brotton from whom most Welfords in the above areas are descended. Hopefully this will avoid confusion and make the reading of the family trees clearer

 

The following family information follows the descendants of Ralph & Hannah's son, Joseph Welford born in Brotton in 1774 and who died at Roxby in 1823 

 

St Oswald's Church, Lythe

 

Marriage – 10th February 1807

Joseph Wellford (signed Welford), of the parish of Brotton - gent & Mary Wilson, of this parish were married by special license - witnessed by John Wilson & Hannah Wilson

 

Note

 

The marriage of Joseph & Mary is also recorded as taking place at Ugthorpe on the same day according to the surviving Catholic registers. Perhaps their wedding was repeated in their true faith and that of their ancestors.

 

Ugthorpe is one of the oldest Catholic missions in the county, dating from the time of the Very Rev. Nicholas Postgate, D.D., who was executed at York in 1679, in the 83rd year of his age, for saying mass and exercising his priestly functions. He had laboured 50 years on the mission, and his sole offence was that he had baptised a child. Thomas Ward, who was born at Danby Castle in 1652, and became a Catholic later in life, alludes to Father Postgate in a footnote to his poem called "England's Reformation." He says: "His (Postgate's) cell was upon a lingey moor, about five miles from Whitby. An exciseman, in hopes of getting twenty pounds (which he never did), apprehended him at Whitby; he was condemned at York, where he suffered, not as a plotter, but only as a priest. I knew him well." It appears, however, that the exciseman did receive some reward, for at the Quarter Sessions held at Thirsk, April 29th, 1679, the sum of three pounds was awarded as a gratuity to John Reeves, the gauger, late of Whitby, towards his charges at the Assizes in presecuting Nicholas Postgate, by him apprehended and taken, and upon his prosecution there found guilty of being a Popish priest. "Reeves did not," adds a writer in the "Whitby Gazette," "long enjoy the wages of treachery, as he perished miserably by his own hand." From that time there has been a continuous line of priests, who have ministered to the spiritual wants of the Catholics in this moorland district. During the operation of the penal laws against Catholics, they passed under assumed names, and travelled about in various disguises, saying mass in lonely and out-of-the-way farmhouses and cottages, and hiding in a secret chamber or recess in the house of some friend when danger was near. A more tolerant spirit began to prevail towards the middle of the 18th century: the fires of Smithfield had burnt out, and the scaffold was no longer reddened with the blood of men whose only crime was that of being Catholic priests. In 1678, a room was fitted for a chapel, and in 1812 a more commodious structure was erected. This was superseded by the present church, and is now used as a school.

Joseph Welford - 11th June 1870

This is the last Will and Testament of me Joseph Welford of the township of Roxby in the County of York, farmer made this eleventh day of June in the year one thousand eight hundred and seventy. I appoint my cousin Joseph Welford of Roxby aforesaid, farmer and my reputed son John Welford Mainman commonly called John Welford (hereinafter called John Welford Mainman) to be Executors of this my Will and trustees for the purposes hereinafter expressed. And I declare that they or other the trustees and any the sole trustee of this my Will are and is hereinafter referred to as my trustees. I bequeath to my wife Ann Welford my bed and bedstead with the bedding and all belonging thereto in the parlour of the house wherein I now reside my best set of china, half a dozen silver tea spoons, my sugar tongs, half a dozen of my best knives and forks, my set of common tea service and also such other articles of furniture and household effects (in addition to the above) as she in her uncontrolled discretion may select, but so that such last mentioned or additional articles do not together exceed in value the sum of five pounds sterling. I devise all the real estate to which I shall be entitled at my decease and I bequeath all the personal estate not herein otherwise disposed of to which I shall be then entitled unto to the use of my said trustees hereinbefore named as to the real and personal estate not belonging to me beneficially upon trust to dispose thereof according to the equities affecting the same. And as to the real and personal estate belonging to me beneficially which is hereinafter referred to as the said trust premises upon trust in the first place by exercising the powers to sell and morgage hereinafter contained or by such means as my trustees shall deem expedient to pay my funeral and testamentary expenses and debts and the leagacy succession and other duties payable in respect af any gift or bequest herein contained and all such other sums of money as my trustees in their uncontrolled discretion shall from time to time think proper to pay in the management of the said premises. And subject and without prejudice to the trusts aforesaid upon trust to pay unto my said wife an annuity or yearly sum of twenty pounds during her life, but in case my said wife shall marry again then the said annuity of twenty pounds shall be reduced to an annuity of ten pounds and shall be for her sole and separate use free from marital control and without power to anticipate the growing payments thereof. And I direct that the said annuity of twenty pounds or ten pounds as the case may require shall be paid without deduction by equal quaterly payments in every year together with a proportionate part for a period of less than three calendar months down to and including the day of assessing the said annuity or substituted annuity the first payment of the said annuity of twenty pounds to be made on the expiration of three calendar months next after my decease and the first payment of the said annuity of ten pounds to be made on the expiration of three calendar months next after the marriage of my said wife as aforesaid if she shall be living at the respective periods aforesaid. And I direct my said trustees out of the same trust moneys to appropriate a sum sufficient at the period of appropriation as a fund for answering in the first instance the said annuity of twenty pounds to my said wife and on her marriage again for answering the said substituted annuity of ten pounds by investing the same sum in their names in some , one or more of the investments or securities following and those only (that is to say) the public stocks or funds or Government securities of the United Kingdom real or leasehold securities in England and not elsewhere (such leaseholds having not less than sixty years unexpired at the time of the investments thereon respectively) and the bonds, debentures or debenture stock or guaranteed stock or shares of any railway or dock company in England authorised by special Act of Parliament and at the time of the investments thereon respectively paying dividends on ordinary stock or shares. And I empower my said trustees to vary such investments at their discretionfor any other or others of the kinds prescribed, but so that such investments shall not be varied so long as my wife shall remain my widow without her previous consent in writing. And I declare that from and after such appropriation the residue of the same trust moneys and premises shall be liberated from the trust for payment of the said annuity, but the appropriation fund shall (without prejudice to the said annuity) be subject to the trusts hereinafter declared concerning the said trust premises and as to the said trust premises (subject and without prejudice to the trusts aforesaid) upon trust for the said John Welford Mainman his heirs, executors, administrators and assigns absolutely. I empower my trustees during the continuance of any of the trusts herein contained to let my real estate (if any) from year-to-year or for any term not exceeding seven years in possession at the best rent and also (with the powers and subject to the requisitions contained in such behalf in the Act of twenty-third and twenty-fourth Victoria Chapter one hundred and forty five) to mortgage, sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of and convert into money all or any part of the said trust premises as and when they shall think it expediant so to do. And I declare that no purchaser or other person shall be concerned about the propriety of any disposition made by my trustees under the powers aforesaid. And generally I empower my trustees to manage and direct the said trust premises in such manner as they in their uncontrolled discretion shall think best. I devise all real estate (if any) vested in me as trustee or mortgagee to the said Joseph Welford and John Welford Mainman subject to the equities affecting the same respectively. I empower my said trustees to give receipts for all moneys and effects to be paid or delivered to them by virtue of my will and declare that such receipts shall exonerate the persons taking the same from liability to see to the application or disposition of the moneys or effects therein mentioned. And whenever by death desiring to be discharged unfitness to act or otherwise there shall not be two trustees of this my will resident in England competant and willing to act in the trusts aforesaid. I empower my said wife during her widowhood and after her death or marriage any person or persons who shall be or shall have been a trustee or trustees of this my will and if there shall not be any such person then the executors or administrators by an instrument in writing to appoint a new trustee or trustees so as to fill up the original number or to increase the same. And I direct that every new trustee shall be an executor of this my will and such new trustee or trustees shall as well before as after the trust premises shall be vested in him or them have the same powers in all respects as the trustees hereby appointed. And I declare that the previous clauses so far as they concern my trustees hereinafter named shall extend and apply to the trustee and trustees for the time being of my Will. And I revoke all other wills in witness whereof I have signed my name at the foot or end of this my Will the day and year first before written in the presence of the two subscribing witnesses

 

Joseph Welford

 

The above writing having been signed by Joseph Welford of the township of Roxby in the County of York, farmer as his alst Will in the presence of us present at the same time we without quitting his presence do attest and subscribe the same in his presence and in the presence of each other

Note

 

Even the most mundane wills such as the one above can provide useful pieces of geneological information. Here we learn that Joseph has an illegitimate child named John Welford Mainman with whom he is obviously close to given he is made an executor of the will. In the census of 1861 John is noted a working on the farm as a plough man and is still there 10 years later. This information helps connect another family to the Welford tree without which it would have been difficult to ascertain.

 

Secondly Joseph's cousin, also named Joseph Welford is made the other executor of the will. This Joseph is likely to be the son of Ralph Welford also farming at Roxby at the time the will was written
