13 May 1784: burial of William Stockdale, sexton of Rudby Church
19 Feb 1790: burial of Thomas Seamore, a 74, Sexton of Rudby Church
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.

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.

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!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this wonderful research which shows my Gt Grandparents x 4 :)
ReplyDeleteFirstly a fantastic insight to my ancestors and a ton of information for me to ruse through. Can I ask one question to help me. The first 4 names mentioned in the Sidgwicks are they brothers.Thank you again
ReplyDeleteI don't know, I'm afraid - there's no way of telling, from the sources
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous! Thanks for posting. I can't wait to compare this information to my collection of research.
