SAYER FAMILY HISTORY

This page is dedicated to the history of the branch of the Sayer family from Hutton Bonville near Northallerton, North Yorkshire.

Four brothers, William, John (1735-1814), James and Michael (1741-1806) Sayer appeared in the area around Hutton Bonville in the 1780's, but their origins so far remain obscure. John was still living there in 1807, when he also held a freehold at West Rounton, while Michael moved to Holtby after his marriage and initiated a descendant line which spread to East Yorkshire.

This is the family of Laurel Sayer who is still engaged in exploring the potential origins of this line.
