World War I
On 16 Decr 1914 the German Navy bombarded Hartlepool, Whitby and Scarborough. This no doubt caused the above circular in the name of Miss Gelder to be distributed in January 1915.
Both Emily and I recall the Headmaster of the Grammar School (Rev TFH Berwick MA) delivering the leaflets in person.
Constables’ Disbursements
Parish of Guisborough, North Yorkshire
1791 – 1831
Unfortunately there are gaps in the records as shown on sheet 2. Some books of accounts are missing, and in the existing documents some constables have given less information than others.
Payments to travellers ranged from 3d per person to 1/-. Males usually received 6d and women and children 4d each, but frequently the lump sum for a man, wife and children came to 3½d a head. Sailors in some cases when relieved on the order of a justice – Mr Williamson was one – received one shilling each.
The most detailed information is to be found in the papers for the years 1827 to 1831: all the occupations occur in this period.
In 1805/6 a large proportion of the women were wives of soldiers and sailors unaccompanied by their husbands. The four months 1816/17 show an outstanding number of travellers.
Of the constables, James Laing and William Darnton are, for our purposes, top scorers, as the following excerpts show:
A bass maker and his wife big with child.
A cropper going to Scotland.
A sailor castaway at Skinningrove.
A widow woman and two children going to Hull.
Two sailors shipwrecked in the Baltic.
A Portugize.
T Fisher, a schoolmaster, deplorabble.
A poor Jack adrift.
An idiot boy for his bed 3d. Lost his way, paid bed again 3d. (Not so silly! humane treatment)
Three sailors going to Sunderland, real Jacks.
A poor sailor going to Wisbech.
Jno Thompson (carpenter) ill of the Ague, going to Scarboro his settlement.
A poor woman that had lost her Child and Husband at Edinburgh with Certificate 1/-.
(All the above written by James Laing)
For the Pulmans it was a family vocation: Alexander, Robert and William were constables and there was a Ralph Pulman also did some tradesmen’s work for them
Included in the accounts are numerous items of purely local interest: repairs such as the “Dungon” lock and key, cleaning “Dungon”: providing straw, writing paper, quills and ink; payments for carrying the halberd and for calling the fair.

Referring to all those three several messuages or dwelling houses adjoining each other, with yard, coach-house, stable and outbuildings, and garden on back (estimated one rood), formerly in occupations of M Mackereth, James Long, and Miss Danby, afterwards of Elizabeth Mozley, William Gill, and William Wright, late of William Henry England and his undertenants, and now of the said James H Merryweather and his undertenants, and all that piece or parcel of waste ground as same was formerly marked and set out, extending all the length of the said messuages or dwelling-houses, southwards 5 feet 10 inches at the east end thereof, and 4 feet 10 inches at the west end thereof, all of which etc are on the north side of Westgate, bounded east by lands formerly of John Harrison, but now of Thomas Colling Esq,

Deed No. 76 of 31st December, 1860.Book IU
JH Merryweather (Surgeon) to John Wilson (Watchmaker of Guisborough).
This deed relates to exactly all the same property as Deed 75. Probably a mortgage.
Note. There was a doctor named Michael Mackereth in Guisborough in the 1820s. John Harrison was one of the officials of the Chaloner estate. HW Thomas was a considerable land-owner at Hutton and Pinchinthorpe, and lived at Pinchinthorpe House before Sir Alfred Pease. In 1851 Ann Mozley, her daughter and two teachers, had a school in Westgate, certainly in the area in question. The Danbys were a prosperous Guisborough family early in 19th century, possibly late 18th C. I am assuming that the earlier version of Sunnyfield House passed from the Clarke family around 1859, then to Colling and later to Weatherills, but I have no proof of this.
Dr TA Pratt’s house
was No. 50 Westgate, with rear premises to N in Westgate Rd—WDB.
