Notes |
- Notes from Christopher Richards (cmrichards@blueyonder.co.uk):
His son Thomas Whiteaker is described as "junior" in the baptism entry for his first two children.
He and his son are the only Thomas Whiteakers in the Thornhill registers. I think it likely that the Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Whiteakers who died in 1678 is his wife rather than his son's wife. The sequence of his son's children doesn't really leave room for a death and remarriage.
Mr Thos Whitacres is listed in the 1672 Hearth Tax list for Thornhill as paying for 9 hearths. Again it is not certain if this refers to the father or the son.
IN the Thornhill Parish Registers for 1653 there is a note that Thomas Webster of Dewsbury, George Allan of Chickerley and Thomas Whiteakers of Dewsbury agreed to pay for any bastard children of Mary Brooke of Thornhillees. I take this to be him.
And in the Thornhill burial registers for 25 November 1663 there is a record of the burial of Peter Alcock, Mr Whitteakers' man in Thornhill.
I deduce from this entries that Thomas Whiteaker was from Dewsbury. His marriage was in Thornhill but there are no baptism entries in the Thornhill registers for his children. So it is likely that his wife came from Thornhill and he took on her Thornhill property while continuing to live in Dewsbury. I think it is also likely that his son Thomas took on the Thornhill house when he got married.
This leaves the problem of which Thomas Whiteaker of Dewsbury he was. It is not certain that this Thomas is the brother of Mark. I'm basing it partly on the 2 year interval and partly that only one Thomas Whitakers is having children bapt at Dewsbury at this time.
I take it that he is the Thomas Whiteakers who was married at Thornhill on 26 July 1654 and therefore the grandfather of the Mark who was baptised in 1677 who is probably the same as Mark of Baltimore.
Naming patterns support this indentification. This Thomas comes after an Elizabeth and a Mark. His presumed son Thomas of Thornhill had a daughter called Elizabeth followed by a son called Mark. Mark of Baltimore had children Elizabeth, followed by Thomas, followed by Mark.
There are several records submitted by members of the LDS church giving his date of birth as 10 February 1634.
I remain unclear about his marriage. There are lots of Thomas Whittaker and variants marriages. I suspect that Elizabeth Thomas died before 1666 and that the Elizabeth Whiteaker in the Thornhill registers is the wife of Thomas the younger of Thornhill.
