SMALLWOOD FAMILY HISTORY

THE SMALLWOOD FAMILY OF SCALBY, NORTH YORKSHIRE (TREE 227)

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

A John Smallwood married Martha Petch in Scalby near Scarborough in 1759 and initiated a significant local line of Smallwoods, many of whom survive in the area to the present day. 

John's origins currently remain somewhat unclear, although there are few local possibilities, and the most likely (if somewhat old) candidate is the John Smallwood who was baptised at Wykeham in 1715, the son of Thomas Smallwood. This Thomas appears to have migrated from Allerston via Wykeham to Scalby (where he died in 1755), and this provides a tentative link from the Scalby line to the earlier Allerston Smallwood tree. There is some evidence that members of the local Smallwood family lived up in the forested area around Langdale End, sandwiched between the parishes of Hackness, Wykeham and Allerston, and this may be an explanation of the apparent migration between parishes.

While there are no Smallwood baptisms in the Scalby registers before the generation of John and Martha's children, there were a couple of marriages in the early 1600's. These are still to be investigated in detail, but may provide further evidence of a link to the Allerston line.

OUTLINE OF TREE

While this version of the consolidated tree has been prepared by Ian Hall, it may also incorporate the input of several of the other researchers listed below, and also that of David Smallwood of Worcestershire. It remains a work in progress, and any comments and contributions are very welcome. Ancestral lines of family researchers are highlighted in bold type, with a link to the corresponding lists of researchers. Individuals whose parentage is uncertain have a [?] inserted into their name.
