| I am researching the names Cranswick; Wrigglesworth and Pickering. They came from all over the area - Hutton/Cranswick; Foston on the Wolds; Kilham; Nafferton; Driffield etc. William Wrigglesworth was a corn miller in Driffield in the 1800s and was married to a Ruth Pickering. Their daughter Mary married Henry Sharpe Cranswick in Driffield in 1867. Henry S. Cranswick was my mother-in-law's grandfather. Any help on any of these people or their families would be greatly appreciated. |

Hi!
I think I've been in contact with one of you before...your other surnames sound familiar...
I have a John Wrigglesworth who married a Mary Wreaks.
Their children were:
James, Ann, John, William and Mary.
William was born in 1795 and married Elizabeth Robson in Stillington in 1818.
Their children were:
John, Mary, Robert, Anne, William.
John was born in 1919 and married (Sarah) Frances Eaton.
Their children were:
Thomas (b. 1845), Sarah Ann, William (b. 1850), Robert, Emma (b. 1854), John, Thomas Eaton (b. 1860), James.
William was my 3x Great Grandfather. I have info on many of his descendants as well as some of his siblings descendants.
William was a bricklayer, as was his father and several of his siblings.
Would love to hear from anyone concerning this family! Feel free to check out my family website which includes all my genealogy...
All the Best,
Alicia |

This may complicate your search but I live in New Zealand and one of my neighbours was a spinster called Cranswick. She told me her family was from Hutton Cranswick. Her NZ family were one of the original settlers in this area and there is a large house in town which was the family home and called Cranswick house. Because of its importance it has a Heritage restriction on it. I believe there are still family members in the area. I would be happy to make enquiries on your behalf if asked.

Sorry for so belated a reply but only just discovered this posting... William Wrigglesworth was my Great, great Grandfather. He was born at Nafferton on 2nd Sept 1910, Baptised at All Saints' Church Nafferton on 27th Sept that year; married Ruth Pickering 26th March 1836 at Leven. They had six children:-George, Bpd Wesleyan Chapel, Driffield ,19th March 1837 d 1847 ;Martha Ellen Bpd 11th Mar 1838 Foston on the Wolds; John, my Great Grandfather, Bpd 4th June 1840 ;-MARY Bpd at Great Driffield,Oct 1841;Pickering Bpd 28th Sept 1843d. 1849;Richard Bpd 16th Oct 1845; . Ruth died at Great Driffield 15th April 1846 and John married Charlotte Stork daughter of Matthew Stork shopkeeper of North Frodingham at St Elgin's Church ,North Frodingham on 7th Oct 1847 they had no children. He was a Master Miller and the 1851 census has him living at Bell Mills Driffield as head of the household, Master Miller. I have a copy of William's will if you are interested...William had 4 brothers to my knowledge, Henry Bpd at Nafferton 17th Nov 1812 D 3rd Oct 1863; Robert Bpd at Nafferton 30th March 1815 d 14th Nov 1897; Holtby Bpd at Nafferton 28th Dec 1817 d 11th Nov 1883 and Richard Holtby bpd at Nafferton 7th Oct 1820 d 1843(?) and one sister Jane bpd 25th Sept 1823. Their father was called George Wrigglesworth Cir 1788 died Sept 1858. He married Eleanor Robson of Nafferton b circa 1785 d. 18th Aug 1873, both of Cottam in the Parish of Langtoft at St Peter's Church, Langtoft 9th August 1806 by Rev Adam Ibbotson Curate.I cannot get any further back than this.. George ended up living and dying in Great Driffield 1851 census has him at Westgate Driffield and 1841 Census St John's Place Driffield, He too is described as Miller...If anyone has any info on George I would love to hear from them... The Wrigglesworth name is variously transcribed as Wriglesworth, Wregglesworth, Wigglesworth so take care!! Hope this is some help.... |

Wrigglesworth, Cranswick, Pickering.
Thanks to all. You have helped my researches.
Taking individual contributors:
Mae- I have more information on William Wrigglesworth and siblings than Jeremiah316 has added: please contact if required.
Aliciajens- different branch of the Wrigglesworth family (very common surname in area) from the equivalent of a different state.
Ken Holmes- I have the 1881 Census for Doncaster for the Cranswicks, which implies that they had been to Cottingham, Hull, S****horpe (censored North Lincolnshire steel town), Doncaster on their travels. I have the 1891 Manitoba Census where they were at Elton, near Brandon. Do you have more ? All help greatly appreciated.
Jeremiah316- VERY many thanks.
William was born 1810 (keyboard slip).
IGI have TWO marriage dates at Leven, 1831 and 1836, for William and Ruth.
London Gazette (online and downloadable) indicates that William fell out with his original business partner at Dyegarth Mill, Driffield and his son, John, led Bell Mills, Skerne to bankruptcy about 1880.
I would be grateful to see William's will, not least to see if my forebear (Henry) got anything. Henry went to oblivion by falling drunk from a horse and cart, whose wheels passed over his chest, breaking his ribs, forcing them into his lungs, precipitating death within the hour. See Driffield Times 10 October 1863 (week after death).
Richard Holtby was a Valet at Sledmere, 1851 and 1861 Census and may have died York, 1870.
Jane married Joseph Booth, Primitive Methodist preacher, 1862, in Driffield. She died Driffield 4/4 1898.
Finally, I have a theory about George's origins which I would be very happy to discuss with you..

William's father was George Wrigglesworth. He married Eleanor Robson of Nafferton at St Peter's Church, Langtoft 9th August 1806.
Children baptised Nafferton- 1810, 1812, 1815, 1817, 1820 and 1823, each time described as Labourer.
1841 Census at St. Johns Place, Great Driffield- Miller.
1851 Census at Westgate, Great driffield- Labourer, aged 62, from Middleton.
Died 1858.
The problem = no Wrigglesworth was baptised at Middleton On The Wolds from 1732- 1811, so trying to find George hits a brick wall. |

I am very interested in your comments re George Wrigglesworth as he was my Great great great grandfather. I have details of his marrriage and six children but wonder why you state there is no record of his Baptism at Middleton? I do not know where he came from. Have you any evidence that he came from Middleton or that the family originated from there other than the census record of 1851? Yours Jeremiah 316 |

Hello Jeremiah316,
Snap- he is my Great, Great, Great Grandfather also.
(1) The only record of George's birthplace is the 1851 Census, which states Middleton. The AA list over forty of them, but logically Middleton On The Wolds is nearest and most likely. We can date his birth to between 1787 and 1790, depending on which source you use- death certificate, 1851 Census or 1841 Census.
According to the IGI no George Wrigglesworth was born at any Middleton between 1782 and 1792, whether you do a general search or check methodically every Middleton, in every county.
So far I have checked the parish registers at the Borthwick Institute, York for Middleton On The Wolds, Middleton By Pickering and Middleton Upon Leven. He is not recorded. Eventually I will check all the Middletons within a 100 mile radius.
(2) Another line of enquiry has been to check registers in the parishes adjacent to Middleton On The Wolds, then in the parishes adjacent to them and so on until the East Riding is complete. That job is about 25% done. There are lots of Wrigglesworths but no George.
(3) I did wonder whether the surname had mutated from Wrigglesby/ Wregglesby, but have discounted that idea.
Best Wishes,
Alan W
(PS) You mentioned William (son of George)'s will- I should be grateful to see a copy if possible ? |

Thanks for the extra information I had heard, or misheard, a tale that the family originated from the West Riding and had wondered if George mat have been born in Middleton Leeds...Don't know if this may be a possibility as far as your research has found? I have a copy of the will which I would be very happy to send you. Also William and Charlotte's marriage cert copy.
On a quick scan of the will I cannot see any reference to Henry The Summary of Wills/ Letters of Admin at Somerset House, London states:- "William Wrigglesworth 24th April Effects under £3,000.... The will of Willi9am Wrifgglesworth late of Bell Mills, in the Parish of Skerne in the County of York, Miller deceased who died 1st March 1861 at Bell Mills aforsaid was proved at York by the oaths of Richard Holtby Wrigglesworth of Sledmere in the said County Valet the Brother William Parker of Hutton Cranswick Farmer and Abraham Robinson of Skerne in the said County Farmer three of the Executors." (punctuation- or lack of it, theirs not mine!)
If you send me your e mail I could forward same of address and will post to you.
Thanks again and Happy New Year Jeremiah316 |

Hello Jeremiah316,
Best Wishes for 2010 to you too, may our researches bear fruit.
Based on what you have written I shall firstly, skim the IGI material to see if it reveals anything, then secondly, promote Middleton, West Riding up the parish register research batting order. The registers are at WYAS, Leeds. It seems slightly ironic that Middleton is a township of Rothwell, Woodlesford likewise (this being the supposed origin of the surname). There is another Middleton, part in the West Riding and part in Westmoreland, evidently, which I had never heard of, so that will need to be looked at.
I am not surprised that William never included Henry in his will, since by all accounts Henry was a wrong un !
Richard Holtby appears in the book, The Big House by C.S. Sykes about Sledmere. He disappears off the face of the earth after the 1861 Census.
If I can be of any help with anyone else in the tree please let me know.
All the best,
Alan W |
