SMALLWOOD FAMILY HISTORY


THE SMALLWOOD FAMILY OF BRIDLINGTON, EAST YORKSHIRE (TREE 114)

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

Mary Smallwood first appears in Bridlington as the mother of two illegitimate sons in the 1780's. There are no likely candidates for her among the known local Smallwood families, and the most likely explanation appears to be that she was the daughter of Robert and Mary Smallwood of Brompton by Northallerton (see tree 110), baptised there in 1759. This Mary's older brother William appears to have settled in Bridlington around the same time, and the naming of Mary's first son as Robert would certainly tie in with the first name patterns in this family. This said, the geographical move is quite substantial, and with Mary's age given as 87 on her apparent burial in 1833 (a clear inconsistency unless the age has been mistranscribed), there must remain some doubt about this interpretation. Mary's descendants flourished locally down to the present, also spreading to Scarborough, Leeds and Canada.
