FQ 434:  14 & 15 Apr 1829:  James Wake occupied land belonging to Elizabeth Sleigh

Thomas Wake was witness at the wedding of Richard Peacock of Rudby and Jane Scott of Stockton on 13 Sep 1832

1841 Census:  John Wake 17 joiner’s apprentice in the household of James Meek, Enterpen

‘The Cleveland Repertory’
1 Aug 1843:
“Police Intelligence.  July 22nd, - Present Robt Hildyard and Wm Mauleverer, Esqrs.  Upon hearing the complaint of Jno Wake, an apprentice to Jas Meek, of Hutton Rudby, against the said James Meek, for having on the 12th ult, illtreated him, the said Jno Wake – ordered that he be forthwith discharged from his apprenticeship, and that the said James Meek, pay the costs.”

1851 Census:  Carpenters Arms:  Elizabeth Wake widow 56 victualler’s wife b Whorlton, and children John Wake 38 house carpenter journeyman, b Stokesley, Jane Wake 21 dressmaker b Carlton, and Mary Wake 17 house servant b Carlton, and grandson Robert Kitching 5 b Pickering

This may be the family of Charles Wake, who left for America in 1855 with the Mormons:
Charles Wake was one of the Faceby tailors.  He was 24 years old at the time of the 1851 Census when he and his young family were living next door to James Stanger junior.  He gave his place of birth as Stokesley, and his wife Elizabeth, aged 25, was born in Potto.  They had a ten month old son James, who had been born in Faceby, and Charles’ fifteen year old brother Thomas was living with them as a tailor’s apprentice – he had been born in Hutton Rudby.  The register for 7 Aug 1836 records that Thomas’s parents were James Wake, gamekeeper, of Rudby and his wife Ann. 
According to ancestral files on the IGI, Charles Wake was born in Stokesley in 1826, the son of James Wake and Elizabeth Wrightson, and married Elizabeth Thompson, the daughter of Robert and Jane Thompson of Potto, in Whorlton in 1849.  Robert Thompson was a cartwright in Potto at the 1851 Census.  Charles’ and Elizabeth’s oldest child is said to have been baptised in Stokesley in 1850, and the younger two children in Faceby.  The third child does not appear on the passenger list, but details of her life are given in the IGI.

People of Hutton Rudby in the C18/19: Taylor to Tweddle

... from my working notes ... accuracy not guaranteed ... for explanatory note, see post of 14 Feb 2013

Edmund Taylor married first Ann Smith in 1800, and second Martha Eland in 1810
Martha Taylor married Thomas Milestone in 1802

Edmund Taylor of Hutton  -  Class leader for Hutton Wesleyan Methodist Church in 1836.  A joiner, he bought, rebuilt and sold houses to the north of the Wheatsheaf.  An Indenture of 1830 describes him as “of Hutton House, carpenter”.  On 24 Dec 1833 a Notice to Sell served by the parties to the purchase from Taylor of the East Side properties, requiring Taylor to repay the mortgage principal and interest, was served on him by Thomas Hutchinson at Leven Grove (ie Skutterskelfe Hall).  Perhaps he was working there?
His date of death is unknown.  His family gravestone is MI no. 219.  His wife Martha Eland died 1857 a76.  Their daughter Esther Ann died 1837 a26; she was then of Thorpe Arch, Wetherby.

M Spence was in A List of Boys – Middleton Book

Thomas Spence of East Side was a weaver, and he and his wife Dorothy appear in the 1836 Wesleyan class lists
They had children:  Moses baptised 23 Feb 1831; and Titus baptised 15 Feb 1830; also Dorothy who lived 1837 to 1838.   Moses died in 1831.
In 1835 he owned a house (previously two houses, now used as one) with a weaver’s shop and a garden behind, amounting to 1 rood.
He also owned an acre with a cowhouse at Goldie Hill, and a house and 2 roods of land occupied by Wm Merrington, just below Tisbut Row, and three closes called the Cottager or Cottage Fields out in the Hutton Fields/Moor area, on the Rounton road
The cottage fields had been occupied by Wm Braithwaite, as tenant to Wm Spence decd, and the deed included all lands “formerly belonging to Thomas Smith late of Hutton yeoman decd and comprised in his Will”.  [William Spence of Hutton was buried aged 63 on 19 Jun 1835.  Wm and Ann Spence(r) had Margaret in 1796, Thomas in 1797, William in 1799, and Elizabeth in 1801; possibly more.
1840 Whites:  Hutton Rudby:  Thomas Spence, grocer & draper – ie. the depression in weaving has forced him to change occupation.
In 1842 Thomas had left Hutton to become a Baker and Shopkeeper in Middlesbrough.  He owed £90 to John Snowdon, and he sold up his Hutton property:  the house and part of the garden (33p) was sold to Thomas Sidgwick for £180 - this was bounded by Mrs Kingston on north.  The weaver’s shop, now used as a carpenter’s shop, with the butcher’s shop and 9p of land was sold to John Oates for £50.  The mortgages were paid off, and it appears that George Wilson was the purchasers’ mortgagee.
The result can be seen on the 1891 map – the northern (Sidgwick) property has the majority of the garth.
William Spence, weaver of Hutton, and his wife Lucy had their son George baptised on 16 Jan 1831
