Oldfield, Hodgkinson
COMPLETE Olldfielld, Hodgkinson & Allllied Famillies Geneallogy OLDFIELD & HODGKINSON Includes Other Allied Families of Western, Guest, Goodwin and Barker “Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire Connections” Copyright © 2004, Mosaic Research and Project Management OLDFIELD The name enters the family with the marriage of Francis (Fanny) Oldfield to George Fountain (see FOUNTAIN) on November 8, 18691. Frances was born January 31, 1851 at Angel Inn Yard, Silver St., Gainsborough as reported on February 13, 1851 by MaryAnn Oldfield, mother2. By 1861, the family had moved to Oldham. The entry for the 1861 census indicated that Frances (most often referred to as Fanny) had two siblings, John born circa 1853 and Elizabeth born circa 18553. John Oldfield and Mary Ann Bozill Hodgkinson were married in Gainsborough on 21 October 1850 at Trinity Church4. John Sr. always worked as a basket maker5 and this was a valuable profession to have and they moved to Oldham -- baskets were important to the mills. And, it is probably through this profession that Fanny met George Fountain (also from a long line of basket/skip makers). When they first moved to Oldham they seemed to move a bit (not unusual) and then for over 25 years lived on Dundee St. During these same years, they had Fanny and family and subsequently Fanny's children living with them6. And, for over a decade they had George Hodgkinson living with them78. It appears that he may be a nephew of Mary Ann’s though he is listed as “son in law” and “boarder” in successive census’ – he was 6 and listed as a grand son in the 1851 census when he lived with William and Rachael Hodgkinson, Mary Ann’s parents (see HODGKINSON section for details) 1851 Census, Gainsborough (Lincoln), Silver St., Angel Inn Yard9 John Oldfield Head 20 Basket Maker Boston Lincs 1Marriage Certificate -- November 8, 1869, St.

Conisbrough. 91 Southern Division of the West Riding, York Diocese and Archdeaconry, and Doncaster Rural Deanery
Conisbrough. 91 Southern division of the West Riding, York diocese and archdeaconry, and Doncaster rural deanery. It had 2119 inhabitants in 1871, living in 473 houses; the area is 4559 acres, of which 18 acres are water. 'Conisbrough village is mostly seated on a bold acclivity between the Don and the Doncaster road, 12 miles N.E. of Sheffield, and about 1 mi!e from Strafford Sands, from which part of the name of the wapentak&of Strafforth and Tickhill is derived; and the parish includes Clifton, a village upon a lofty eminence, It mile to the south, near Crookbill Hall. Conisbro' is celebrated for the ruin of its ancient Saxon castle, which stands upon a conical hill rising abruptly from the navigable river Don, at the east end of the village, and is one of the principal scenes in Sir WaIter Scott'fl popular romance of 'Imnhoe.' This admired ruin, which consists of the lofty shell of a large and strong circular tower, commands an extensive prospect of the fertile vale of the Don, and was once an impregnable fortress, occupying the whole crown of the eminencfr, and having the Don on south and east, and a deep ravine between it and the village, from which it W3.'l anciently approached by a drawbridge, The moat is now filled up, and the ruin is finely embowered in elm, ash, and oth9r trees, some of which have grown to a considerable size within the castle walls. Lord Conyers is lord of the manor and extensive honor of Conisbrough. GAS WORKS were established here in 1870, at a cost of .£1500, raised in 300 shares of £5 each.

“SUTTON TERRA REGIS RAUENCHIL II CAR AD GLD” (Domesday Book of 1086)
“SUTTON TERRA REGIS RAUENCHIL II CAR AD GLD” (Domesday Book of 1086) In 1304, the township was known as Sutton-in-Aryrdale and in 1620 it became Sutton in Craven. The township of Sutton was formerly in the parish of Kildwick in the E. Division of the wapentake of Staincliffe, West Riding County, York.
