Hi. The Emerson side of the family is somewhere i haven't explored though my mum's family were indeed from Weardale and Stanhope. I'll get some basic info going back a few generations and let you know. All the best, Brian.

JohnREmmerson — 2008-12-31 05:56:54Z

Hi Brian,
Many thanks for your mail, shame about the Snaiths! My Emmersons were all from County Durham mainly around Stanhope and Weardale although they did spread a little, and up to 1864, had only one 'm' in their surname spelling, I am not sure, and never will be, whether to inclusion of the second 'm' was a spelling mistake or deliberate.
If you would like to discuss the likelihood of an Em[m]erson connection I would be delighted to correspond.
Regards,
John

Hello John, it was a different Brian Snaith you communicated with before, not me. Sorry don't have any info re your Joseph Moresby - coincidently though, my mother is an Emerson - Margaret b.23/11/30 Usher Moor.

William Snaith

Kizzen — 2008-12-23 08:29:15Z

I am related to William Snaith (born c.1820) who married Elizabeth Vart at St Cuthbert, Etherley in 1859. I know his father was also a William Snaith (born c. 1792 in Evenwood). William senior was the landlord of the Dog & Gun at Etherley at some point.
I'd be keen to here from anyone who can help track down this line, my interest so far has been thE Vart family so only recent interest in the Snaiths.

Hi,

Does anyone have a Michael Snaith in their family, all I know is he married Hannah Donnison in 1805 in Chester Le Street, and he came from the Parish Sunderland at least thats what it said on his marriage licence.

Any information about him or any children they had would be most appreciated.

Just a correction on that last entry having noted further post from 22/10/2003. think my William from 1740 is now more likely son of William born 1715 who was in turn son of Ralph. Wot u think? is anybody out there? Brian

Re: Snaith family of Witton le Wear, Coniscliffe & Darlington in County Durham, England

briansnaith_1 — 2008-12-11 13:31:30Z

Hello, the family tree i have goes as far back as William Snaith [i am a direct descendant, he is my g g g g g grandfather] - the tree shows that he was born 1740 died 9.6.1812 and married a miss frank, of his children the one shown on my tree is Parkin born 1779 died 30.8.1825. I notice on your line you have a William baptised 1739, son of a William and another Miss Frank. Surely this must be my William too? can you confirm date of death as 9.6.1812? Hoping so. Cheers, Brian.

I am a direct descentant of John Snaith (b. about 1805), a farmer from Low Coniscliffe through his son Robert (b. 1836 Darlington). My g grandmother was Jane Ann Snaith (b. 1862 Low Coniscliffe). I think that John married Jane (Hall). I am interested to know whether you can help me find more of my Snaith ancestors.

adamand — 2007-12-08 17:11:34Z

Hello Mark. The first two were from Lanchester and the other one is from Hunwick. The Hunwick one may be your best bet because it is just on the other side of the valley from Escomb.

Re: Snaith family of Witton le Wear, Coniscliffe & Darlington in County Durham, England

adamand — 2007-12-08 09:36:02Z

Hello Mark. I do the gravestone inscriptions for a hobby.
There are no BENNISON or FORRESTER on any gravestones in Stanhope,Frosterley,Wolsingham,Witton le Wear,Hamsterley,
Tow Law,Crook,Satley,Muggleswick,Lanchester,Etherley,Hunwick,
Edmunbyers, Escomb is ongoing and if I come across the BENNISON
or FORRESTER names I will let you know.
What you need to bear in mind is very few families could afford a
permanent gravestone . Most would have been marked by a simple
wood cross and of course they would not last.
Another thing is the "Council" or whoever is in charge of the cemeteries
are hell bent on laying flat the stones that they think are unsafe.
I have come across hundreds that have been laid flat and unfortunately
they have been laid face down and I am afraid they will never be seen
again.

Adam

Re: Snaith family of Witton le Wear, Coniscliffe & Darlington in County Durham, England

adamand — 2007-12-07 20:58:02Z

Whoops. Should have said I am indexing Escomb and there is a one for SNAITH in Escomb. The one that I sent was a stone for Witton le Wear.
While I am on I can tell you that there are two stones at Lanchester and one at Satley with the name SNAITH. Do you want them sending?

Adam

Re: Snaith family of Witton le Wear, Coniscliffe & Darlington in County Durham, England

adamand — 2007-12-07 20:34:24Z

Hello John and Mark. I am indexing the Escomb gravestones and there is one Snaith stone that may interest you.:-
In memory of Ann wife of Matthew Snaith and daughter of Edmund William
and Margaret Coates, born 18/June/1842 and died 16/Nov/1898.

Hi John,

Sorry for the late reply - I have been abroad for a couple of weeks. Yes, please can you send me a report on what you have for the Bennisons + Snaiths and I'll see if there is any common ground. My direct email address is : markyb70@hotmail.com

Thanks and best wishes,

Hi Adam,
Thanks for the information; It was only yesterday when I placed a request on the Durham board for MI information at Escomb! Any SNAITH MI's would be gratefully received. I'm quite early into my research so need all the help I can!
Can I be cheeky and ask if you have any MI's for the BENNISON and FORRESTER names too?
My SNAITH, BENNISON and FORRESTER members were all around the Escomb, Etherley and Witton Park area. Penshaw is another area too...
Are you indexing the MI's on behalf of a FH society with the intention of publishing them? Regards and thanks. Mark.(markyb70@hotmail.com)

Re: Snaith family of Witton le Wear, Coniscliffe & Darlington in County Durham, England

markyb70 — 2007-12-08 17:03:50Z

Hi Adam,
Thanks for your effort! As you said, it's more than likely that there are no stones marking the graves. They certainly had no money and more than likely could not afford a stone, but it was worth checking with you anyway...
I'm fairly sure that there should be a BENNISON in Escomb cemetery, but whether the grave is marked or not, I don't know...I did have a quick look in Escomb cemetery, but it looked quite 'wild' in there and thought that I stood no chance of finding anything! As you say, why are the stones laid face down????
Before I forget, are the SNAITH MI's you've given me from Escomb or else where? Hopefully, I'll be able to fit some of them in to my tree....eventually. In the meantime, thank's for your time and effort. Regards, Mark.

Re: Snaith family of Witton le Wear, Coniscliffe & Darlington in County Durham, England

markyb70 — 2007-11-05 09:10:06Z

Glad that you spotted my typo in my last post! Of course, BENNSISON should have read BENNISON. My earliest BENNISON to date also appears to have originated from North Yorkshire - somewhere around the Stokesley/Great Broughton area, but his Birth/Baptism record is proving a little difficult to source at the moment...

Re: Snaith family of Witton le Wear, Coniscliffe & Darlington in County Durham, England

My 4 x Gt. Grandfather was a FRANCIS SNAITH, born c. 1792 in Etherley - district of Escomb, County Durham. His daughter, HANNAH SNAITH (b.1929) married JOHN BENNSISON in Auckand (Dec 1852). The SNAITH's are quite a recent interest so any further information would be appreciated...

Hi Sandra,

You will find their marriage record in the Houghton-le-springs parish register for the years 1825-1837.

If you know that Mary was born in Rye, Sussex, in 1801, do you know who her parents were?

mariesnaith — 2006-01-01 17:53:22Z

Hi Paul,

This is regarding Parkin SNAITH b. 1813 (son of Parkin Snaith).

A Parkin SNAITH is buried in the Boxwood Cemetery, Town of Ridgeway, County of Orleans, in the State of New York, USA. He died in 1892. His wife is noted as Elizabeth SCOLIO. They supposedly married in England ca. 1840. Children of this union are noted as: Elizabeth (b. 1840), George (b. 1842), Mary (b. 1846), and Emma J. (b. 1860 - yes 60) The first 3 children were born in England. Emma was born at Shelby, Orleans County, NY.

Hope this helps!

Marie

Re: Parkin Snaith and family in NY

mariesnaith — 2006-01-01 17:53:22Z

Paul and Adam,

Here's a little more information on the Parkin SNAITH family.
Elizabeth's maiden name was SCOLIO.

The family appears in the 1865 US Census for Shelby, Orleans County, NY.

In about 1864 at Shelby, Orleans County, NY, a George SNAITH married Aldeine. Her maiden name may have been TIMMERMAN. I can not tell you that this George is your George.

On 6 Oct 1868 a Frank SNAITH was born at Shelby, Orleans County, NY. He married an Ida LOKE. She was born on 24 Nov 1866 in Medina, Orleans County, NY to Ephram LOKE and his wife Mary (unknown maiden). Ida was buried at Boxwood Cemetery, Town of Ridgeway, Orleans County, NY on 20 Oct 1926. Frank was buried same place on 9 Sep 1947.

Perhaps this Frank is a son of the above George and Aldeine? I have no proof that such is correct, however.

This is not my line. I explored it because of Frank SNAITH. My gg grandfather was a Frank SNAITH, but this did not turn out to be him.

Hope this information is useful to you.

Child 3. Thomas SNAITH - He too went to London and became a banker in the firm of SIKES, SNAITH AND SNAITH. He died in 1796 at St. Mary Lamburth, Surrey, England. So far I have not found family for him.

Child 4. Margaret SNAITH - She married Joseph WOOLER in 1771 at Wolsigham. They had 9 children born at Wolsingham between 1773 and 1787.

Child 5. Henry SNAITH - He too went to London but did not enter the banking field. He was a habberdasher together with David Jones. Their shop was located at 5, Friday Street in London. So far, I have not found family for him.

My earliest Snaith is Joseph Moresby Snaith born 1835 in Sherrif Hill, County Durham and presently I only come forward from there with a member of the Snaiths emigrating to America.

I have Bennisons in my tree also but from the North Yorkshire Moors near to Loftus, but not attached to the Snaiths.

One of my Snaiths did marry a girl from Loftus [Russell] what a tangled web!!
