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. Castleton - including Edale. Chapel en le Frith - including Bowden Edge, Bradshaw Edge and Combs Edge. Tideswell - including Litton, Wheston and Wormhill. CD transcript used.

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' ...

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).

As promised in the last volume of the Marriage Registers of Derbyshire, the marriage records of St. Alkmund's form the first instalment of the Registers of the County Town. The Editors do not doubt that these will prove especially interesting to Derbyshire people. In Volume V they hope to print further instalments of town registers in the shape of those of St. Michael's and also some village registers. It will be noticed that St. Alkmund's register begins at the earliest possible date, 1538, but of the remainder, two do not start till the seventeenth century and one, that of Quarndon, synchronizes with the passing of Lord Hardwicke's Marriage Act. 1379092 It will be convenient to give here a list of the Derby- shire parishes of which the Registers have been printed in this series: Volume I.

  • Church Broughton Parish, Derbyshire
    Church Broughton Parish, Derbyshire: An oral history, 1900-1940 Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Janet Arthur De Montfort University June 2019 Abstract This study is an oral history of a Derbyshire dairying parish during the first forty years of the twentieth century. The aim was to discover the nature and cohesion of society in a parish with no resident lord of the manor, the effects on the parish of changes in agricultural practice and the impact of government interventions on the lives of individuals. The lives of residents were affected by the history and layout of the parish, based on the geography and previous ownership. Having no resident lord of the manor generated a social structure with three layers: firstly, seven key people, outsiders who did not own land, secondly, networks of small landowners and artisans, who had lived there for generations, finally, labourers, many also families of long standing. Religion was important in supporting this social structure. Being an ‘open’ parish had enabled a chapel to be built and the provision of a school, though not all children attended this school. Through widespread ownership, there was a freedom to live and work without being beholden to neighbouring estates, as alternative employment could be found elsewhere for any surplus workers. Mechanisation improved farming practice, but, though government intervention during the First World War helped, the downturn afterwards and competition between farmers meant dairying was precarious, until the foundation of the Milk Marketing Board in 1933 to control production and price. The sale of the Duke of Devonshire’s farms in 1918 to the occupiers and the County Council removed the prestige that his tenants had enjoyed.
