HEATON of CARLETON and KILDWICK At Kildwick, a parish [then] in Yorkshire’s West Riding, on 12 July 1712 Richard Steel (1683- 1758) married Anne Heaton, eldest child of Andrew Heaton of Kildwick and of his wife Judith Jenkinson.1 Origins Heaton is cited by Bardsley as a local surname originating at Heaton township, in Bradford. 2 Silsden’s famous nail-making industry is said to have been started when Anne Steel’s nephew David Steel lent £10 to a tramping nail-maker named Heaton, to help him set up a business.3 In 1672 Wilfred and John Heaton each paid tax on one hearth, in the nearby parish of Carleton.4 In 1685 Carleton’s poor included Elizabeth and John Heaton.5 There was a long line of descendants from Wilfred Heaton, the elder (fl. 1548) of Old Snap farm, west of Ponden House at Stanbury, in Bradford’s Haworth chapelry: these included many Andrew Heatons at Stanbury..6 Another Andrew Heaton was baptised at Keighley in December 1656, son of John of Deanfield, Keighley. John Heaton of Deanfield made his will in 1692, with his younger son Andrew as chief beneficiary. Andrew fl. at Deanfield 1694-1707.7 His will made and proved in 1719 mentioned his sons John and Joseph and a daughter Susannah (baptised at Keighley on 5 October 1709). An inventory was taken in December 1727..8 Andrew Heaton and Judith Jenkinson Andrew Heaton was not baptised at Kildwick or Carleton, but was perhaps Andrew, son of John Heaton, baptised at Haworth, also in December 1656. On 13 September 1679 Andrew Heaton of Carleton married at Kildwick Judith Jenkinson of Kildwick. Anne Heaton was baptised at Kildwick on 20 June 1680, the eldest child of Andrew and Judith Heaton of Kildwick. Andrew and Judith’s other children were: Elizabeth (1682-1706, baptised at Kildwick 26 March 1682); Jonas (1683/4-1690, baptised 6 January); Grace (1691/2-?1739, baptised 24 January); Mary (20 December 1685); Martha (1687-1705, baptised 23 October); William (23 February 1689/90); Jonas (1693/4-1708, baptised 7 January) and Andrew (baptised 13 November 1696). The two Jonases, Martha, and Andrew all died under 21 years of age. The elder Jonas was buried at Kildwick on 23 July 1690; Andrew on 20 November 1696; Martha on 5 December 1705; and the younger Jonas on 18 August 1708. Andrew Heaton occurs in several assessments made for the township of Kildwick in 1693/4, 1695 and 1695/6..9 He and his wife were rated at 1s each for the poor rate in 1693/4 and an assessment by families of the township of Kildwick in 1695 includes Andrew and Judith together with their sons and daughters William and Jonas, Mary and Martha. In 1695/6 Andrew paid 2s tax for the nine windows in his house at Kildwick. He was one of the freeholders who voluntarily signed the ‘association oath roll’ for the Staincliffe wapentake, promising loyalty to King William, who had just escaped from an assassination plot.10 Andrew served as constable of Kildwick in 1703 and again in 1717, when he was paid 8d for ‘going to Skipton when the militia met’.11 In 1710 Andrew Heaton was a Kildwick juror at the court of Clifford’s Fee.12 Judith Heaton died in 1719/20 and was buried at Kildwick on 12 January, ‘wife of Andrew Heaton, Grangewoodside, yeoman’. In 1724 the Silsden manor court received a complaint about the fence between Graystones and New Close, belonging to Henry Dixon, now the possession of Andrew Heaton.13 Andrew Heaton was buried on 25 February 1732/3, ‘Father of the family, husbandman.’ Anne Heaton Anne Heaton was baptised at Kildwick on 20 June 1680, the eldest child of Andrew and Judith Heaton of Kildwick. Anne was married at Kildwick on 12 July 1712 to Richard Steel. ©T.M.
