| Excerpt from Richard Weatherill's manuscript |
Richard Weatherill (1844-1923) compiled a family tree from the memories of his father, the artist George Weatherill (1810-90).
He supplemented it with further research, particularly in the Parish Registers of Easington and in the Easington, Whitby, Hinderwell and Guisborough churchyards. A copy of his manuscript (missing one page) is held by the Whitby Literary & Philosophical Society.
Another copy is owned by descendants of the Guisborough Weatherills; this copy has later amendments by Charles Buchannan (Richard Weatherill's nephew) and others.
The information below is taken from both manuscripts. Passages marked in quotations are taken directly from Richard Weatherill's manuscript.
