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.
Sarah Taylor is in Edmund Taylor’s class in the Wesleyan class lists 1836

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

Simon Frederick Thompson's Legal Diary for 1886
This diary belonged to Simon Frederick Thompson (1862-1928), solicitor, Middlesbrough. His name does not appear in the list of solicitors for the town in the 'Country Solicitors' section, so possibly he was not yet on the Roll, or had only recently been admitted.
He seems to have started work in March and his first entry in the diary is for Sunday 21 March 1886:
Mother died at ten minutes to two in the afternoon(His mother Ann was born in Langley, Northumberland, and was the wife of John Thompson, iron works engineer).
The next is for Tuesday 23 March 1886:
paid £60 into BankHe soon begins to enter a brief note of matters he has been dealing with each day, eg.:
Paid Gibson £10.12.6
Wednesday 21 April 1886Simon Frederick Thompson was in practice at 11 Albert Road, Middlesbrough; by the middle of the 20th century, the office was the home of the firm Thompson, Trotter & Gray. In 1911, he and his wife Mary Grace Goodyear Beech were living at Cleveland Villas, Grove Hill, Middlesbrough; they had been married 19 years and had no children. He died in 1928.
