Best
It appears that Martin Best had married Hannah Kidd in Norwich in 1802. They arrived in Hutton Rudby with several children – Maria, for example, was baptised at the age of 3 months at the C of E chapelry at Heworth, Co Durham. In Hutton Rudby their daughter Margaret was baptised in Jan 1817 – Martin was then described as a labourer. In Sep 1818 Ann was baptised, and by then Martin was working as a papermaker.
In January 1819 Martin died at the age of 38. Eleven year old Harriet, buried in March, may have been their daughter.
Four years later Hannah gave birth to a son, William, who died aged 8 in 1831.
Hannah Best was a former occupant of property, once used as a coachhouse, sold by Kay and Colebeck to Mark Barker in 1830
FT 30: 12 & 13 May 1830: East Side: John Kay of Hutton cartwright & others to Mark Barker & trustees: house heretofore used as a coachhouse & formerly occ by James Ingledew, Mary Collyerson & Diana Swales, then by Elizabeth Farnaby, then by Charles Hall, then by Hannah Best, & now by Matthew Garbutt: bounded by street to E, Mark Barker to W & S, Arthur Douglas to N
The Goldsbrough trial:
late July 1830: Hannah Best, widow, who had moved to Stockton in May 1841, used to wash for Goldsbrough and put his children to bed
early Aug 1830: Maria Best, wife of Thomas Richardson, gave evidence in 1842 that she saw Goldsbrough with Huntley’s clothes
early Aug 1830: Elizabeth (Best) Shaw, Maria’s sister, went to Goldsbrough’s house after hearing of Huntley’s disappearance, and found him “sitting by the fire reading. I said – “’Dear me you’ve a very large fire on for summer time”. Elizabeth admitted she had been in jail on a charge of stealing geese and had two children born before marriage.
[Yorkshire Gazette 12 Mar 1842]
“little Best” is in a list of names in the Middleton Book
Jas Best [Elizabeth’s son] was in A List of Boys – Middleton Book
1841 Census: Jane Best 25 ag lab, Hannah 7 and Mary 4 and William Bowman 30 asst collier, South Side
1841 Census: in household of John Bowman 35 asst collier and Margaret 25 and Margaret 1, Hannah Best 55 ag lab born out of county – next door to Jane Best
1841 Census: William Shaw 25 weaver, Elizabeth 30 and James Best 13 weaver, Ann Best 11 and Margaret 8, on East Side
‘Stokesley News & Cleveland Reporter’ 1 May 1843:
At the North Riding Sessions, Jane Best was convicted of stealing two flannel petticoats, from the garden hedge of the prosecutor, John Hammond, at Enterpen, in the summer of 1841. Sentenced to three months imprisonment, with hard labour.
1851 Census: Enterpen: Hannah Best widow 65 seamstress b Norwich and daughter Margaret 18 house servant b Hutton Rudby
1851 Census: Jane Best is not in the household of William Bowman, who is described as single, and the three children listed in the transcript as Mary, Maria and William – it seems likely that Mary was in fact Hannah. Jane may have died later in the year - if the burial entry for Catherine Best on 5 Dec 1851 has the wrong name.
The 1861 Census shows William Best still in the household of William Bowman, and then aged 14. He seems to have married Dorothy Ridley in 1868, and they were living in Kays Yard at the 1871 Census. At the time of the 1881 Census, William was lodging with the family of a Hutton Rudby-born widow in Brixton Street, Middlesbrough, and working as an ironworks labourer; his wife and five children remained in Hutton Rudby.
For details of James Best cf Shaw, and for details of Martin Best cf Richardson.
The parish registers show that there was at least one other Best family – Thomas and Mary, who had children born in 1816 and 1819 – and it is difficult to identify some of the entries.
The Best daughters had illegitimate children before marrying: Maria had Martin in 1834 before her marriage to John Bowman in 1838; Ann had Harriet in 1838 before her marriage to George Dickinson in 1840; and Elizabeth had James in 1828, and probably Ann in 1831 and Margaret in 1833 (both girls are listed under the surname Best in her household in the 1841 census, although the PR transcript gives their mother’s name as Hannah) – she admitted at Goldsborough’s trial in 1840 to having two children before her marriage to William Shaw. Jane had at least 3 children, probably with William Bowman.
Elizabeth and Jane Best are known to have gone to prison, on at least two occasions – Elizabeth for stealing geese at some point before 1840, and Jane Best in 1843 for stealing two flannel petticoats.
Perhaps the criticism of Hutton Rudby’s morals by Ord refers at least in part to the Best women, who had featured prominently in the reporting of Robert Goldsborough’s trial. They may have been considered as typifying Hutton Rudby, as far as the inhabitants of Stokesley were concerned.
Bewick
The name Bewick appears first in the register in 1760, with the baptism of Susannah
16 Oct 1760: Susannah Bewick, daughter of George, bap at HR parish church – but she was apparently a Catholic, possibly of a mixed marriage.
It appears that George Bewick had three children – James, Sarah and Susannah.
A Robert Bewick, who married Ann Dent in 1774, is described in the transcript as buried in 1810 aged 55 – this means that on their marriage Robert was aged 19 and Ann 36. If the transcript is correct, it is possible that Robert was also a child of George; if the transcript is wrong, he was perhaps George’s brother. George’s wife may have been Sarah, who died in 1806 aged 82.
23 Nov 1774: Robert Bewick married Ann Dent [witnesses: William Smith, James Bewick]
Robert and Ann Bewick’s daughter Jane was baptised in 1776 and Sarah in 1778, then
1778: Mary Bewick, possibly Susannah’s sister, married William Smith. Their daughter Susannah was baptised at Crathorne Catholic Church in 1778, and had an illegitimate baby herself baptised there in 1805.
10 Sep 1780: George Bewick, son of Robert, bap at HR
17 Feb 1782: James Bewick, son of George, aged 33 buried; cordwainer, died of dropsy
27 May 1783: Susannah Bewick, dau of George Bewick, married Reuben Bainbridge [witnesses: William Calvert, William Smith]. Their sons were baptised at HR in 1784, 1786 and 1788. Their daughters Susannah and Sarah were baptised at the Catholic church at Crathorne in 1790 and 1792
21 Jul 1783: Sarah Bewick 26 married John Sadler 28 weaver [witnesses: John Eland, William Smith]
19 Mar 1805: Sarah Bewick married John Douglass [witnesses: Thos ?, Wm Seamoor, Anthony Smith, Geo Christal, Geo Bewick, J Sleigh, John Armstrong]. They had a large family.
12 Jun 1807: Martha Kay, daughter of Elizabeth, baptised – her father was George Bewick, and her parents married four years later
12 Mar 1809: Matthew Kay, son of Elizabeth, baptised – this is presumably the boy later known as Matthew Bewick (qv)
11 Feb 1811: George Bewick married Elizabeth Kay [witnesses: John Brown, John Howe, Robert Codling, John Cook, Robt Cook, John Jackson]
18 Jul 1811: Ann Bewick, daughter of George, baptised
George, Elizabeth and Ann Bewick all appear in the 1836 Wesleyan Methodist class lists.
George Bewick was a linen manufacturer [1823 Baines and 1840 Whites]
early Aug 1830: George Bewick was parish constable, and in this capacity called on Robert Goldsbrough to question him about the disappearance of Huntley: “Bewick said, ‘Goldey, here is strange reports about Huntley, what hast thou really done with him?’ …”. On the second visit, Bewick “said to the prisoner, ‘Now, really tell us what thou hast done with Huntley?’ …” [Yorkshire Gazette 12 Mar 1842]
Tithe Map: George Bewick owned and occupied a house, garden and garth at the bottom of North End; still owned by his descendants
11 Jun 1838: William Sherwood 35 butcher, son of John Sherwood, farmer, married Martha Kay 31, daughter of George Bewick, linen manufacturer [witnesses: Henry Bainbridge, Matthew Bewick]
6 Oct 1840: Jane [transcript – in fact, Ann] Bewick 28, daughter of George Bewick, linen manufacturer, married John Imeson 21 shoemaker, son of John Imeson, shoemaker [witnesses: William Douglass, Matthew Bewick]
1841 Census: George Bewick 60 linen weaver, Elizabeth 55 and Matthew 30 linen weaver, with John Wanlas 15 linen weaver apprentice born out of county, and with Jane Sherwood 2, North End
1851 Census: North End: George Bewick widower 70 linen manufacturer employing 12 hands and son Matthew single 42 also linen manufacturer; with servant Isabella Sidgwick 25 house servant; all b Hutton
