Sarah Hebron was elected Sexton on 2 July 1833 “to have £2/12 per year for doing the duty of a Sexton to attend to the fires and keep the church clean.  The Churchwardens to see about getting the stove in repair”.
The sexton has the care of the fabric of the church and is responsible for digging the graves and ringing the bells.  It is not clear from the churchwardens’ accounts who was the previous sexton;  it may have been Nathaniel Smithson.  The records do not show who the vestry appointed to take care of the bells and, particularly, the gravedigging.

Thomas Shaw was buried on Tues 23 Oct a65;  Jane Shaw on Sun 28 Oct a62 [PRs]

21 Jan 1793:  Thomas Shaw married Ann Carter [witnesses:  William Shaw, John Eland]

26 Oct 1800:  Ann Carter 26 wife of Thomas buried
Baptisms:  children of Thomas & Ann Shaw:  Mary 1796, Thomas 1798

Thomas then seems to remarry, to Jane:  children of Thomas:  Ann 1802, Elizabeth 1804 (dau of Thomas & Jane), John 1810, and William 1812

25 Jul 1818:  Thomas Shaw occupied a house in the Wheatsheaf area,  between Whorlton and Passman property, bought by Baillieur from Passman [East Side deeds]

Thomas Shaw is a tenant of Barkers Row in 1829

FQ 249:  13 & 14 Mar 1829:  exors of Wayne to Barker:  the Carpenters Arms with the cartwrights shop and stable on the west end thereof, the garden and the privy on the south & backside of the premises, bounded by road to East Rounton to E, by Mrs Elizabeth Hildreth to W & S, by road to East Rounton, John Robinson and Mr Farnaby to N – occ by Edward Meynell;  the garth occ by Edward Meynell, bounded by Elizabeth Hildreth to E, by John Burdon to W, by Thomas Passman, Elizabeth Hildreth, Mr Kendall & William Spence to N, by road to East Rounton to S; the site where buildings lately occupied by John & Hannah Kay & taken down by Mark Barker stood; the garth now used as garden ground to the E & backside of the sd site;  the new houses built by Mark Barker on the site and part of the garth: some of the houses and the garden ground “at present unoccupied”, the others occupied by Robert Hall, William Souter, George Sanderson, John Kay, Mary Lamb, Jackson Richardson, John Wild and Thomas Shaw:  bounded by house & lands bel to Rev Richard Shepherd to E & S, by Arthur Douglas and townstreet to N & W

Elizabeth Best married William Shaw.  He was possibly the son of Thomas & Jane, born 1812.

Elizabeth Shaw gave evidence at the trial of Robert Goldsborough in 1842:  “on cross-examination she admitted that she had been in jail on a charge of stealing geese; and that she had two children born before marriage.”

1841 Census:  William Shaw 25 weaver, Elizabeth 30 and James Best 13 weaver,  Ann Best 11 and Margaret Best 8, on East Side

The Shaw family do not feature in the 1851, 1861 and 1871 censuses, but it seems likely that Margaret, then aged 18 and a “house servant”, was living with Hannah Best, her grandmother in 1851;  she is listed in the transcript as Hannah’s daughter. 

Elizabeth Shaw, weaver’s widow, aged 70, b Tabron, Norfolk is listed between the Wheatsheaf and Hutton House in 1881.

James Best appears to have been living in Hutton Rudby in 1881;  the census shows James Best, married, 52, b Hutton Rudby, a sailcloth weaver, was visiting in the household of Isabella Foster, a widow in Queens Terrace, Middlesbrough, and Mrs Mary Best 51, b Gateshead, was living on South Side, and ten year old Mary Best, b Hutton Rudby, was staying with her.


Shepherd

Robert Sheppard of Barrack [Barwick], Parish of Egglescliffe was buried Sat 27 Oct [PRs]

Rev. Richard Shepherd:  nothing is known of his family background.  The IGI has three possibles:  bap 13 Apr 1788 at Kirkby Moorside William/Sarah; bap 8 Oct 1788 Danby William/  ; 5 Jul 1789 Barlby Edward/  .

A Deed of declaration of abode by George Thirkell of Middleton was sworn before R Shepherd Vicar of Rudby “at my lodgings at Hutton in the parish of Rudby” on 2 Nov 1822 – which indicates he was living in lodgings before his marriage

Richard Shepherd married Ann Brigham on 21 Apr 1824.  Witnesses:  Thos Simpson, M Simpson, Jw Brigham, John Colbeck, Ann Simpson, Samuel Hebbron.  The vicar of Egton, Glaisdale, Mr Benjamin Richardson, officiated.
Their son Richard Brigham Shepherd bap 10 Sep 1826, and son Robert bap 13 Jul 1828

The deeds relating to the Barkers Row area state that a dwellinghouse and lands belonging to the Rev Richard Shepherd bounded Barkers Row to the east and south, while property belonging to Arthur Douglas bounded it to the north and west.  But there are no deeds to indicate that he owned property there, so I assume that Mr and Mrs Shepherd had been living in Hutton House.

  1. THANK YOU VERY MUCH for posting this! I live in America, but my family comes from Hutton Rudby. They were weavers. I have been researching the Sidgwick/Sedgwick family very actively for the past 34 years, but have had a lot of difficulty proving relationships based on available records. Living so far away, it has been difficult to find information about the family. I still need to figure out who is who, but this helps so much! Thank you again!
