The author is pleased to be informed of errors and omissions, alternative interpretations of the early families, additional information for consideration for future updates. She can be contacted at [email protected] DATES Prior to 1752 the year began on 25 March (Lady Day). In order to avoid confusion, a date which in the modern calendar would be written 2 February 1714 is written 2 February 1713/4 - i.e. the baptism, marriage or burial occurred in the 3 months (January, February and the first 3 weeks of March) of 1713 which 'rolled over' into what in a modern calendar would be 1714. Civil registration was introduced in England and Wales in 1837 and records were archived quarterly; hence, for example, 'born in 1840Q1' the author here uses to mean that the birth took place in January, February or March of 1840. Where only a baptism date is given for an individual born after 1837, assume the birth was registered in the same quarter.

Their ancestors were in Somerset from the mid-15th century and have been admirably described in a piece by Warren Skidmore, The Skydmore Family Of Chewton Mendip, Somerset, and Eyam, Derbyshire, 20072. I have attempted here to pick up the family after its move to Derbyshire and describe descendants down to the beginning of the 20th century. Thomas Skydmore, born around 1565, was the first of his name at Chewton Mendip, a son of Robert Skydmore of Dunkerton - both places in Somerset. Two of Thomas' sons, baptised at Chewton Mendip - Arthur in 1593 and Simon in 1600 - were probably the first Skidmores in Derbyshire where they became lead miners in the parish of Eyam. Lead was then mined in two main areas of England, around Chewton Mendip in Somerset and Eyam in Derbyshire. The miners in Somerset had devised a superior method of smelting lead with a fixed ore hearth on the ground. This greatly improved productivity and profits for the owners, and an increasing number of Somerset migrants, Arthur and Simon Skidmore among them, took the new process up to Derbyshire and did not return to Somerset. The small village of Eyam is located in relative isolation deep in the heart of the Derbyshire Peak District, surrounded by a rugged landscape of limestone hills and dales. The parish church lies in the village and is dedicated to St Lawrence. Its parish registers survive from 1630 - unfortunately about 30 years after the first Skidmores arrived there. The 2006 transcript of these registers published on CD by Valerie Neal has been used for the purposes of this account (as have those for the parishes of Hope, Tideswell, Great Longstone and Stoney Middleton). Richard Skidmore, the brother of Arthur and Simon, also had lead mining interests but was primarily a yeoman of Taddington parish in Derbyshire. 1 A numerical analysis of the 1861 British census can be found at www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com. 2 This can be found at www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com. 2 Skidmore Lead Miners of Derbyshire & their descendants 1600-1915 Skidmore/ Scudamore One-Name Study 2015 www.skidmorefamilyhistory.com [email protected] For the family historian, an understanding of the parishes in the area is useful. The High Peak Hundred of Derbyshire included only 11 ancient parishes, but some were very large and contained numerous townships. Bakewell, All Saints. A CD prepared by Valerie Neal, containing a transcription of the parish registers of All Saints Church, which survive from 1642, has been used here, together with the Bishop's Transcripts to 1812 (kindly studied by Mrs Velma Skidmore). A baptism or burial at Bakewell did not necessarily mean that the family lived in Bakewell village. The extensive parish of Bakewell comprised: the township of Bakewell itself; the townships of Blackwall, Brushfield, Calver, Curbar, Flagg, Froggatt, Over and Nether-Haddon, Harthill, Hassop, Little Longstone, Rowland, Great Rowsley, and part of Wardlow; besides the parochial chapelries of Ashford, Baslow, Beeley, Buxton, Chelmorton, Great Longstone (CD transcript used), Monyash, Sheldon and Taddington.

EYAM [From: History of Derbyshire by David Peter Davies, 1811] HOPE [From: History of Derbyshire by David Peter Davies, 1811] 'A small village and parish, containing about 110 houses and 930 A small village, ... situated on the banks of the Derwent' ...

[Note: although Davies does not list them, the following townships were in the parish of Hope: Abney, Aston, Fernilee, Highlow, Great Hucklow, Little Hucklow, Offerton, Shatton, Stoke, Thornhill, Thornton.] WARDLOW split between the parish of HOPE and the parish of LONGSTONE. BAKEWELL [From: History of Derbyshire by David Peter Davies, 1811] Wardlow is a surprising place. In early days, when there was no church here, the village suffered the affliction of being part of 'The most extensive parish in Derbyshire. ... It contains 9 chapelries and several two parishes. The main street marked the boundary between large hamlets, containing altogether about 1200 houses'. Longstone parish and Hope, and one side of the village was The 9 chapelries were: therefore in Hope parish, and the other in Longstone (or more Ashford 130 houses, 600 in habitants, cotton spinning, agriculture, usually in the records, Bakewell).

  • Derbyshire Dales Local Plan Settlement Hierarchy
    DERBYSHIRE DALES LOCAL PLAN SETTLEMENT HIERARCHY February 2016 CONTENTS 1 Introduction 2 Policy Context 3 Methodology Scope Economic Attributes Social Attributes 4 Summary Tables and Ranking Appendix A Settlement audits B Table of indicators, scoring methodology and sources of information C Businesses providing employment in assessed settlements D Public transport services in assessed settlements 2 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 The purpose of planning is to help achieve sustainable development. Pursuing sustainable development involves seeking positive improvements in the quality of the built, natural and historic environment and includes a requirement to plan positively to support local development. As such, sustainable development and the creation of sustainable communities lies at the heart of the Government’s National Planning Policy Framework. 1.2 In considering where new development should be located, there is a need to balance the requirements of development against other needs such as sustainability and environmental impacts. Development needs to be accommodated in settlements where the need to travel can be reduced through good access to facilities and services and where it can be accommodated without significant adverse impacts. This paper seeks to assess the relative sustainability of each of the main settlements (excluding the Market Towns) in the Derbyshire Dales (outside the Peak District National Park) and will be used to inform strategy and policy formulation in the Derbyshire Dales Local Plan. From a national perspective, none of the District’s settlements would be regarded as large. However, there are nevertheless significant variations in the land uses and services that are located within them, the relationships between different settlements.

The list of LDS luminaries who walked these streets before us is long and impressive. Within the mission boundaries are the birthplaces of John Taylor (Milnthorpe), B. H. Roberts (Warrington), George Q. Cannon (Liverpool), and John Longden (Oldham). Furthermore, the work of the British Mission (from which the EMM was created in 1976) has been directed by numerous men who either were or later served as General Authorities, including seven who would become presidents of the Church. As we delve into historical accounts of their labours, it becomes obvious that the tests and trials they endured here helped prepare them to sit in the leading councils of the Church. In the 1830's, during the difficult days of Kirtland and Missouri, the newly-restored Church was struggling for survival. Internal strife, disunity among leaders, apostasy, and financial problems were some of the challenges faced by the Prophet Joseph Smith. In the midst of these troubles, Joseph later wrote, "God revealed to me that something new must be done for the salvation of the Church." The bold, almost all-or-nothing solution, inspired of God, was to send some of the most capable men in the Church to Great Britain as missionaries.

  • George Chisholm
    1 The TROMBONE of GEORGE CHISHOLM Solographer: Jan Evensmo Last update: March 9, 2020 2 Born: Glasgow, Scotland, March 29, 1915 Died: Milton Keynes, England, Dec. 8, 1997 Introduction: We played again and again the marvellous Benny Carter session from Holland in 1937 with Coleman Hawkins. Then we realized that there was a great trombone player in there of British origin! Glad now to realize we had identified perhaps the best vintage trombone player on this side of the Atlantic! History: He took up trombone as a teenager after hearing Jack Teagarden. In 1936 he went to London with Teddy Joyce and played in clubs, notably the Nest Club, where the following year he took part in a jam session with Fats Waller, Coleman Hawkins and Benny Carter. Carter took him to Holland with a band that recorded eight titles for Decca (1937), and he played and recorded with Bert Ambrose’s orchestra in 1937-39. Chisholm was much in demand for session work; among his recordings was one with Waller for HMV in 1938. After joining the RAF he played in the all-star dance orchestra best known as the Squadronaires (1939-50). He was a member of the BBC Radio Show Band (1950-55) and played in Wally Stott’s orchestra in the “Goon Show” radio series, then performed with Jack Parnell and in musical shows until 1965. He continued to play jazz into the 1980s, both as a soloist – notably with Keith Smith’s Hefty Jazz – and with his own band, the Gentlemen of Jazz, in pubs, clubs and festivals.
