Follifoot - Wood Family - Follifoot
Looking to sort out the numerous members of the Wood family living in Follifoot in the 19th Century. Begin with Edward Wood b about 1795 Stainburn Kirkby Overblow and wife Phoebe/Phebe b about 1792 Stainburn, died bet 1851 and 1861. Edward was blacksmith and latterly farmer. The couple had numerous children: William (b c1821 Spofforth?), Richard (b c1823 Stainburn), Charles (c 1824 Stainburn), Ellen (c 1826 Follifoot), John (c 1826 -- a twin? -- Follifoot), Robert (c 1831 follifoot), Grace (c 1832 Follifoot), Jonathan (c 1833 Stainburn or Follifoot), Dorcas (c 1836 Follifoot), Phoebe (c 1838 died bet 1881 and 1891 both in Follifoot), and two possible unknown children, one son and one daughter married someone named Smale. There was a grandchild named Colin Wood (b c1853 Follifoot), who married first a woman named Annie (died bet 1891 and 1901) and then a second woman also named Annie. May have had a brother Michael Wood. Some of Colin's children born in or lived for a time in Follifoot, including Ethel (b c1879 Follifoot), Cyril or Cyral (b c 1880 Follifoot), Norman (b 1881 Follifoot), Alan (b 1884 Follifoot). Who were Colin's parents? Who is the daughter who married Smale? There are also several other Wood families who appear related who lived in Follifoot, Knaresborough and other nearby villages.

Annie Elizabeth LEAROYD in Follifoot 1906 - Follifoot
I'm having no luck in tracing my husband's grandmother Annie Elizabeth LEAROYD. Family tradition has it that she died at or soon after the birth of her daughter (my husband's mother). She was married to Norman WOOD. He subsequently remarried was again widowed and married a third time. I have the marriage registration of Norman WOOD and Annie Elizabeth LEAROYD dated November 28, 1906. She was then 22, which would mean she was born late in 1883 or in 1884. Her residence is given as what appears to be "Cone Bed" (?) Farm, Follifoot, and she lists her father's name as Samuel LEAROYD, farmer. Annie and Norman were married in the parish church at Spofforth. One of the witnesses was a Percy LEAROYD, possibly her brother or uncle. I have been unable to find an Annie Elizabeth LEAROYD in the FreeBMD that matches this information. (There is one of approximately the right age but the father is listed as Richard LEAROYD.) Neither can I find her, or a Samuel LEAROYD, in the 1891 or 1901 censuses for Yorkshire, and certainly not in Follifoot, that would fit her description of herself as a 22-year-old farmer's daughter. Can anyone enlighten me on her, her father or the farm name? The writing on the certificate is difficult to read, so "Cone Bed" is very probably wrong, but is as close as I can come. I have always assumed she is Yorkshire born as everyone else in many generations of my husband's family is.

Cold Bed Farm - LEAROYD family - Follifoot
I now know that the farm mentioned as her residence in Annie Elizabeth Learoyd's marriage record is COLD BED FARM. Her father died there in 1916, when it is listed as being in Spofforth R D. I can't find this on a modern map -- can anyone give me 'directions' to it (e.g. what road it was on and approximately where) or point me at an old parish map that might show it?

Marry Family - Follifoot
My 2 gt grandparents lived in Prospect Houses in Follifot from 1880's until they died in early 1900's. Patrick and Winefred Marry originated in Ireland arriving in Follifoot via Knaresborough and Newcastle under Lyme. Patrick was a gardener in the 1891 census presumably working at Rudding Hall. They were Catholics and if anyone knows how I can find out about where they were buried I would be very grateful for the help? Are there any early records for Rudding Hall and where might they be kept? Thanks Margaret
