NINTH GENERATION

196. Thomas BOULBY ⁽²⁹⁾⁽⁶⁾⁽⁷⁾⁽⁸⁾ was christened in 1769 in St. Cuthbert, Ackworth.⁽¹²⁴⁴⁾⁽¹²⁴⁵⁾ He was born on 6 Aug 1769 in Ackworth, Moor Top, Yorkshire, England.⁽¹²⁴⁶⁾⁽¹²⁴⁷⁾ He died after 1807.⁽¹²⁴⁸⁾ These notes are from Barry Burley:

In 1790 Thomas and his father John signed an allegation and bond for a license for the marriage of Thomas Boulby, bricklayer, to Susannah Durrans, widow of Dewsbury, aged 23. Susannah had a daughter, Elizabeth by her first husband Richard Durrans. Jeremiah Cunningham of Dewsbury, bookseller, also present.

Thomas and Susannah lived in Dewsbury for about 10 years. The family moved to Westgate Common (circa 1800) about a mile from Wakefield. Possibly the daughter Rachel had died but their other children Sarah and Joseph moved with their parents. Thomas was by now a master builder employing his brother Joseph and building houses for sale.

By the time daughter Sarah died in 1807, Thomas had almost completed a row of ten houses on Westgate Common. These were sold by auction. An advertisement was placed in the local newspaper The Wakefield Star and at 6 p.m. on Wednesday the 17th of June, 1807 the property was sold by Mr. Senior, the auctioneer at the Manor House, Wakefield.

He was married to Susannah CUNNINGHAM on 6 Jul 1790.⁽¹²⁴⁹⁾⁽¹²⁵⁰⁾ Susannah CUNNINGHAM⁽²⁹⁾⁽⁶⁾⁽⁷⁾⁽⁸⁾ was christened on 12 Apr 1767 in Dewsbury.⁽¹²⁵¹⁾ Susannah's maiden name was identified by Gail Collins.

Susannah first married to Richard Durrans. They had only one child,
Elizabeth Durrans. It appears that Elizabeth married Susannah's
second husband's younger brother, George Boulby.
