Trattles ONS Review - Update 2022 Dec

 Trattles One Name Study Review - Update for the end of 2022:

I have almost completed my review of all Trattles Baptisms, Marriages and Burials up to 1850's.  This has involved mostly using 'Find My Past' (which holds all the Yorkshire Parish Records images) reviewing the actual source image and not just relying on transcripts.... which in many cases are not accurate.

** Interestingly I noticed that on 1/12/2022 Ancestry have published NYRO North Yorkshire Parish records with images, previously only available on FMP

My spreadsheet (I need a name for my list ;0) holds the following key data, and a lot more...

• Individual Id number 
• Individual Forenames and Surnames (Eg Trattles, Tratle, Trottle etc)
• Event date (for either: birth, baptism, marriage banns, marriage, death, burial, civil registration)
• Mostly records are for baptisms, marriages & burials
• Likely YOB (year of birth)
• Likely YOD (year of death)
• District Parish (where event occurred)
• Places mentioned in record (a bapt, marr or bur location did not necc mean that is where individual was from. Some records state where they actually were from or where spouse was from etc)
• Family Group (my column to try and link records into individual families)
• Father Name
• Mother Name
• Spouse Name
• Marriage Witness Names
• Age at event
• Individual columns for source hyperlinks (eg FMP NYRO, FMP Tees Archives etc)

29th December I commenced entering all my records into a new Trattles Tree on Ancestry.

I had 2 choices:

• Review and Update my existing tree (commenced over 15 years ago) 
• or start from scratch

I decided to start from scratch. My original tree had so much "stuff", notes, emails, links that i had kept private as some were sensitive in nature.

It was also clear that I had some people linked to wrong families, mistakes made along the years, taken down wrong paths from incorrect transcriptions or wrong assumptions

I had not correctly sourced all my info, so making it difficult for me to justify why i believed an individual belonged to one family and not another.

So today (and no doubt for many months to come), I am now working on building my new tree.  I have added 60 records so far. 

My plan of action (so far):

1. Add all Thomas and Robert "Trattles" Baptisms (include parent and location info if available)
2. Fill in obvious family details for (no 1).,, (siblings, parents, locations etc)
3. Link all sources (identify how will use sourcing consistently) for above records
4. Add all Marske & Brotton records (I have already reviewed this group and have yet to publish my findings)......... and source!
5. Add all Hinderwell records.... and re-attempt to sort that jigsaw out ;0)

 Well...today is Sunday 2nd October 2022....and oh so much has happened since my last post! (4 years ago! shameful !!! 🤯) with probably the key things being Covid 19 and I retired!

A family history acquaintance / distant Trattles relative (confirmed via DNA) has got me back on the Trattles trail so I thought I would record my journey. So here goes.

Chris has enrolled myself and John on a Trattles collaboration ;0) 

We are starting with the Brotton and Marske (Yorkshire) clans and seeing if we can agree their origins and descendants.

Today I have sent to Chris, for review, my thoughts on who is who and where did they come from and go! (Using actual parish records, which thankfully many are on line, & wills etc) I will share to the blog, once I get it looked over.  Much of this has already been done by Chris

There are now many trees on ancestry that have conflicting records / individuals as parents etc and often it is because trusting individuals think the info they are collecting is accurate, but unfortunately, often it is not. It is based on assumptions and little more than that.

Chris John & I are hoping to provide as much evidence as possible to confirm the actual Trattles family lines, as accurately as possible.

Through my journey i will share any titbits of info of records... such as I just read this:

Ugthorpe, Roman Catholic St Annes, Burials:  "1819 May 28 Ann Trattles 29 Ugthorpe child birth & neglect"

For anyone with a Find My Past Subscription, this is the record: Here

I am currently working through the Roman Catholic Trattles / Trastle records to piece together..watch this space.
