Starting in 1772

William Usher born (North Cave – Hull?) (Francis Usher – Great Grandfather), Christened 13 Dec 1772. The first doubt is that an LDS researcher made the link to this individual and I believe this is incorrect based on the research.

  1. THIS RECORD IS DEBATED AS THERE IS ANOTHER WILLIAM USHER BORN IN NORTH CAVE RECORDED IN THE 1861 CENSUS IN HAXBY AGED 88.
  2. ALSO A JANE USHER MARRIES AN ANDREW AMOS IN 1793 (6TH AUGUST 1793 – WITNESSED ELIZABETH YOUNG AND JAMES HICK) IN WHITBY.
  3. A JANE USHER IS BORN 9TH JANUARY 1780 AT KIRKBY MOORSIDE WITH FATHER WILLIAM.
  4. IN ADDITION A JOHN USHER WAS BORN IN 1777 AND A RECORDED MARRIAGE OF A WILLIAM USHER TO A SARAH ATKINSON 14TH NOVEMBER 1776.
  5. ALSO ON THE 24TH DECEMBER 1790 A WILLIAM USHER MARRIES A MARY ALLEN IN LYTHE (William’s age is recorded as 23), and,
  6. Mary Allen born 26 January 1768, Christened 28 January at FLOWERGATE PRESBYTERIAN,​WHITBY, parents William and Isabel.

FINALLY CONTAINED IN THE BRITISH NEWSPAPER ARCHIVES IS THE FOLLOWING;

YORK HERALD SATURDAY 23RD DECEMBER 1809

COUNTY OF YORK

To be LET, by PROPOSAL

And entered upon the 12th May 1810

A FARM at LOWER HAWSKER, in the parish of Thorpe, within four miles of the Port of Whitby, with other advantages of situation consisting of 130 Acres of Meadow and Arable Land, together with about 53 Acres of Old Grass Land, being an allotment from an adjoining common pasture, fenced with an excellent stone wall and otherwise prepared for immediate cultivation and profit to the tenant. There is a good freestone Quarry and a Lime Kiln erected on the premises.

Proposals will be received by Mr. William Usher, at Loftus, till the 31st December next, and the present tenant will show the Farm and Additions.

 

So the result of the above it is assumed that the William Usher relates to the Usher’s in Great Ayton.
