  • Our Pullein Ancestors
    OUR PULLEIN ANCESTORS J Brian Hardaker Version dated May 2017 The # numbers are the identification numbers in Our Family Tree on the website Names in bold type are believed to be in my direct ancestral line. Our link to the Pullein family comes through Mary Pullan, the wife of John Hardaker of Idle. Mary was born in Idle in 1786 and died there in 1854. She and John had ten children, among them Samuel Hardaker, father of John Lee Hardaker, my paternal grandfather. We can trace the history of the Pullans because of the vast research effort into the family by Catharine Pullein in her book The Pulleyns of Yorkshire, published in 1915 by J. Whitehead and Son of Leeds (pp. viii + 799). What follows comes mostly from that source.1 The Origin of the Name As is clear from the variants already introduced, there have been many different spellings of the name. While Pullan seems most common these days, we shall soon see that there are reasons to believe that Pullein or Pulleyn would be more correct. After examining a number of other possibilities, Catharine concludes that the name originated in the Crusades. This long series of wars, which occurred intermittently for about 200 years, have some echoes in modern problems in the Middle East. In A.D. 1095 a religious fanatic called Peter the Hermit became fired with holy indignation at insults by Moslems to the Christian pilgrims visiting Jerusalem and at the desecration of sacred places there. He travelled around Europe rousing Christians with stories of the wrongs done.
