The family of George Langborne (1735-1817), son of Michael & Eleanor Langborne

George Langborne was baptised on 19 August 1735. 

On 10 Feb 1763, George married Mary Rymer of Whitby, by licence.  The entry in the register gives his occupation as Ship builder; the marriage was witnessed by Nathaniel Langborne and Michael Blackbeard.

George Langborne (1735-1817) and Mary Rymer (1733-96) had seven children:

•    Mary, born 10 Jan 1764 and buried 18 March
•    Michael (1765-90)   
•    John, born 13 March 1767 and was buried aged five on 15 Nov 1772
•    William (1768-1844)
•    Mary (1770-1804)          
•    Eleanor (1773-1804) 
•    Margaret (1774-1816)

Mary (Rymer) Langborne died on 8 Apr 1796, aged 62.  She had married at the age of 30 and had seen three of her children buried.  When she died the surviving four children were unmarried and in their twenties. 

Her husband George survived her by many years, dying in 1817.  He outlived five of his children and his granddaughter. 
His Will was proved by his son William, his nephew William Jameson and his nephew George Langborne.  His estate (gross personalty) was valued at under £8,000 and was divided into three parts: for his son William; his son-in-law William Grenside (husband of his daughter Mary); and his son-in-law Thomas Jones (widower of his daughter Margaret) and her children Thomas Rymer Jones, Mary, Edward and Eleanor.  He made further provision for his son William, who had recently bought lands and grounds in Newham Dunsley for £4,800, which had since considerably decreased in value; William was to receive money to cover the depreciation.

William Langborne (1768-1844), son of George Langborne & Mary Rymer

William was born 17 May 1768. 
He married Anne Mead (born 9 Dec 1775) on 12 June 1798.
William is in the 1823 Baines' Directory as a Ship Owner living in Baxtergate.
Anne died on 21 Sep 1826 aged 50, and William on 3 Feb 1844. 
They had four children:

•    John Langborne was born 20 June 1799.  He was of ‘Fernhill’, Newholm.  He married 5 Feb 1822 Hannah Barrick.  She died on 27 Dec 1828.  The Whitby Panorama and Monthly Chronicle reported the death: “At Fernhill, Mrs Langborne, wife of Mr John Langborne, and daughter of the late Mr Thomas Barrick, Ship-builder, aged 28.” She left two very young sons, the youngest boy having died some months earlier:

o    John Medd Langborne, b 26 Feb 1823, died in Canada.  He is possibly the youth living in the house of Henry Barrick, shipbuilder, at the 1841 Census (perhaps learning his trade with his mother’s relations)
o    Thomas William Langborne, b 5 Dec 1824, d 7 Sep 1896.  Unmarried.  Probably the last of the Langbornes to be a shipowner.  He does not seem to have been a ship builder in his own name.  According to the list of shipping in Richard Weatherill's book in 1848 he held 16/24 share in the brig Ellen built by his maternal uncle Henry Barrick [1]. Thomas is to be found in the household of his uncle Henry Barrick for the 1861, 1871 and 1881 censuses.  After Henry Barrick's death he lived with Thomas Forrest, a retired master mariner, in Mulgrave Place.  Forrest was a widower; his niece Miss Mary Allot seems to have kept house for him.  Thomas Langborne left Forrest and his niece his clothing, jewellery and trinkets, with a legacy each, and asked to be buried "as near as may be" to his uncle's grave.
o    Henry Langborne, b 26 Jan 1827, bur 25 Mar 1827

•    George Langborne, b 4 July 1801, bur 18 Mar 1803
•    William Rymer Langborne, b 18 Sep 1804. He is listed as an attorney in the 1834 Directory.  He died in May 1846
•    George Langborne, b 18 Apr 1807, he is mentioned in the Will of Susannah Langborne, his uncle Nathaniel's widow, in September 1852.  He was married, and had a son born 7 Feb 1829.  It seems likely that he is the George Langborne born 1807 who gained his Master’s ticket in Feb 1852.

Mary Langborne (1770-1804), daughter of George Langborne & Mary Rymer

Mary was born 3 Sep 1770.  She married William Grenside, a surgeon, on 26 Jan 1804.  Baines' Directory 1823 gives his address as 10 New Buildings, along the road from the well-known Dr Loy.  This address was later known as St Hilda's Terrace.  He does not appear in the 1840 Directory.  They had sons:

•    Ralph Grenside, bap 5 Dec 1804.  Clergyman in Warwickshire.
•    George Grenside, bap 10 Jan 1807.  Solicitor, lived in the Stokesley area.

Eleanor Langborne (1773-1804), daughter of George Langborne & Mary Rymer

Eleanor was born 13 Jan 1773.  She married her cousin George Langborne on 10 Dec 1801.  In 1804 their daughter was born and within a week Eleanor was dead.  She was buried in the parish churchyard on 25 November.  Their daughter:

•    Mary Ann Eleanor Langborne, baptised on 18 Nov 1804.  She died at the age of three, and was buried on 5 Jan 1808.

Margaret Langborne (1774-1816), daughter of George Langborne & Mary Rymer

Margaret was baptised 23 Nov 1774.  On 30 Nov 1808 she married Lieut Thomas Jones RN, an Excise Collector.  She died in 1816, aged 41, leaving four young children:

•    Thomas Rymer Jones (1810-80), surgeon, academic and zoologist.  A photograph of his memorial in King’s College Chapel, University of London is here
•    Mary Jones, b 27 Oct 1811, bap 29 Oct 1811
•    Edward Jones
•    Eleanor Jones

Barque (from Richard Weatherill's book)

[1]  There were two contemporary Henry Barricks, shipowners, who were known as Henry Barrick of East Side and Henry Barrick of West Side [letter A J Buchannan to H P Kendall, 31 Jan 1934].  One of the Barricks had a dry dock which was used by the Langbornes in 1838.



… next time – the family of Nathaniel Langborne (1739-1807), son of Michael & Eleanor Langborne

Captain Michael Langborne: Whitby privateer

In the Whitby Museum, there is a Letter of Marque granted by King George II in 1746 to Michael Langborne of Whitby.  Europe was at war and Britain required all the firepower she could find.  Captain Michael Langborne (c1703-82) was a Whitby master mariner and shipowner who was combining profit with patriotism by becoming a privateer.

His Letter of Marque entitled him “to set forth in warlike manner” in his ship, the Jane and Mary (300 tons), and apprehend, seize and take ships, vessels and goods – particularly if they were French or Spanish – and bring them to judgment in the High Court of Admiralty.  There he had to prove to the prize court that his Letter of Marque was valid and the ship he had taken belonged indeed to the enemy.  The prize court would then “condemn” it, and Captain Langborne would be able to sell the ship and he and his crew would divide the proceeds.

In addition, he was to keep a journal of his proceedings and note all the details of the prizes he took, and also

"of the station, motion and strength of the Enemys as well as he or his Mariners can discover by the best intelligence he can get … all of which he shall from time to time as he shall or may have opportunity transmit an account to our High Admiral …"

When Captain Langborne’s descendants gave the Letter of Marque to the Whitby Museum, staff at the Whitby Lit & Phil researched his family tree, which I will reproduce here, together with the later supplementary work done by Miss Grace Dixon and myself.

Michael Langborne (c1703-82) & Eleanor (c1699-1782)

Michael Langborne (c1703-82), privateer, shipowner, master of the Jane and Mary, was married to Eleanor or Ellin (c1699-1782).  They had six children, of whom the first four died in infancy:

•    William and Mary (twins), born on 29 Aug 1728 and buried 1 Sep 1728
•    Eleanor, born 4 Apr 1730 and buried 12 March 1732
•    Ellin, born 1 Dec 1732 and buried 6 Jan 1740
•    George (1735-1817)
•    Nathaniel (1739-1807)           

Eleanor was buried on 1 November 1781, aged 82.
Michael Langborne was buried on 23 May 1782, aged 79. 

Their sons George and Nathaniel survived and prospered as ship builders, and their sons after them.

Mease

Update 29 Feb 2020:  John Mease bought the disused buildings of the Hutton paper mill and installed machinery for a water-powered flax-mill in 1834.  For a full account, see Hutton Rudby 1834-1849: the Flax-Spinning Mill by the bridge

For an account of Thomas Mease and the flax-spinning mills of Stokesley, see the series of articles posted on 29 Feb 2020 beginning The linen mills of Stokesley & Hutton Rudby: 1823-1908

John Mease’s grandfather Solomon Mease (1731-1801) b Great Ayton, married Jane Humphrey and had 4 children.  He was the son of a weaver and trained as a weaver himself.  He inherited money and his wife brought him a good portion, but in the words of his son John, his “love for cards and drink was such that he was sold up in a few years”.  He joined the army and served as a sergeant in the American Wars.  Solomon’s son John Mease (1767-1849) was a grocer in Stokesley.  He married Isabella Turnbull, and they had 5 children:  Thomas, Isabella, John, Rachel and Mary.  His very interesting diary contains many references to the religious problems of the day and to Methodism.

Joseph Mellanby Mease (1827-1928) was the son of Thomas Mease, John's elder brother.  Well-educated and well-read, he had lost an arm in an accident in one of his father’s flour mills – according to a newspaper article written in his old age, it was the Hutton mill.  Joseph Mease was chief clerk at the chemical works in Jarrow owned by a member of the family.  He came to the village in 1858 as manager of a corn mill “on the site on which the police-constable’s house now stands”.  Three years later he lost his arm through his sleeve being caught in the machinery.

Joseph Mease’s wife ran a school, assisted by her daughter Jenny.  Mrs Mease’s school is mentioned in the Hutton School log book in 1879.

Macfarlane

John Mackfarlan was in Stephen Calvert’s class in the Wesleyan class lists 1836

Dr John Macfarlane (1806-80) was born in Edinburgh.  On 12 Dec 1821 he was apprenticed to Henry Johnson of Edinburgh for 5 years.  He did not attend university lectures, taking his LRCS at Edinburgh on 6 Jun 1826.  From 1831 to 1833 he studied at University College, London, taking his LSA in 1834.  In 1836 he married Sarah Bailey Holdsworth.  Their first son, John, was born on 29 Apr 1837 and baptised at Hutton Rudby; he died the next year.  John and Sarah then had six children, all born at Leeds between 1840 and 1846.  They emigrated to Australia in 1849, and John registered his MD from Edinburgh in 1850.  Dr Stout wondered whether Macfarlane was the unqualified doctor appointed by the Vestry in 1833.  [Dr Stout]

An unusual Mortgage Deed

1876 Mortgage Deed

 This is a Mortgage Deed made on 25 October 1876 between Messrs Sharvell & Imeson and Albert James Smith, Esq., of a piece or parcel of ground situate near the Park, Middlesbrough, in the County of York.

The solicitor who drew up the Deed was Gilbert B Jackson of Middlesbro' and Lofthouse.

As you can see from the photograph, it looks strangely crisp.

It seems to have been damaged in a fire, which has shrunk it to a fraction of its former size so that it now measures only about 10cm by 9.5cm (about 4 inches by 3 ½ inches).

This is evidently what happens to parchment when cooked!

Honeymans and Whorltons

This information is from Dave Honneyman, for the benefit of people researching their Honeyman or Whorlton family history.

Dave tells me that they find themselves confronted by a particular problem dating from the early 19th century.

On 1 March 1818, Ann Whorlton’s baby boy George was baptised in Hutton Rudby.  No father’s name was recorded, and he was baptised as George Whorlton.

On 17 August 1819, Ann Whorlton married Thomas Honeyman (George’s father?), and George grew up in their household.

Thereafter, young George’s surname seems to have alternated between Whorlton and Honeyman.  He was George Whorlton on his marriage to Hannah Simpson, but George Honeyman for all the censuses.  When his daughter Sarah married Andrew Dodsworth in 1877, freebmd.org records her surname as Whorlton (I don’t know whether researchers have obtained this marriage certificate), while an entry on familysearch (source not recorded) gives her surname as Honeyman.  This has naturally led to confusion!

Dave concludes,

“So anyone who has an interest in further study of his family tree needs to be aware that if they can't find a particular record as a "Honeyman", then they should look for a "Whorlton" record instead and more than likely find it.”
