The Barker Family of Binnington: Refer to links at the left for connections to other family charts
I am working on that are directly related to our Barker family. The
story of the Barker family in England goes back to medieval times; however, going
back to the late 1700’s in North-east Yorkshire, my ancestors came from two
hamlets within a few miles of Scarborough: Suffield and Snainton. My great,
great, great, grandmother Hannah Ashwell(ASH6) was from Suffield
near Hackness, which was just on the edge of the ‘Moors’, and my great,
great, great, grandfather John Barker(BAR6.1) was from
Snainton, which is in the Ebberston
Parish, a short distance north of Binnington, on the other side of the River
Derwent. This is sheep country on the ‘wolds.’ So, these ancestors of mine were mostly
sheep herdsman. Moor:
is
like a wilderness area, with rock outcrops and undulating ground not suitable
for large-scale farming. Wold: is
a large linear hill, or moraine left over from the ice age. Since it was hard
to use the land for fields of crops, it consisted mainly of grassy open areas
for sheep. John
was a sheep herdsman for the estate and the estate was closely connected to
the Hackness area, therefore it is likely he met his future wife through his
work. In those days, since people did not usually own their own land, but
only rented or resided and worked on the estate for the landlord, even the
children of the household would work for the estate and that is why most of
John and Hannah’s family are listed as “servants” in the various census
returns. When John Barker(BAR6.1)
and Hannah Ashwell(ASH6) were married at Hackness, in 1822, I
believe they moved to “Binnington Wold farm” which had been built high on the
top of the wold overlooking another hamlet of Staxton, in the Willerby
Parish. I met the historian of the community of Saxton, Edwin Cooper who gave
me a very pleasant tour of his area, which included the Binnington Wold Farm.
According to Edwin, in medieval times, the monks would herd their sheep from
the lower grassy areas up across this wold on the way to the monastery. Since
the monks had a wooden enclosure on the site of the Binnington Wold farm
hundreds of years ago, it wasn’t a surprise that in the first decade of the
19th century the Lord of the land created a large farm there on his estate.
In 1822 John Barker became the herdsman for the estate and as far as we know,
lived on the ‘Binnington Wold’ farm where he and Hannah raised 9 children and
one god-daughter there on the wold: Barker Chart 5: John Barker(BAR6.1) (sheep

Emma(BAR-GOD1) God-daughter
born about 1848 John Barker(BAR5.6) and Thomas(BAR5.7)
came to Canada after the Crimean War (about 1856/57) and the rest of their siblings
remained in England. They settled in Little York, which is now Toronto. After
John Barker(BAR6.1) died and
was buried at St. Peters churchyard, Staxton, in 1869, his widow Hannah moved
into the village of Staxton and lived out her years, and she died in 1884.
Rachel Barker(BAR5.8), one of
the youngest siblings of my great, great grandfather John Barker(BAR5.6),
came to Canada with her husband and family (The Woodall’s) in 1890 and
settled in the city of Brantford, Ont.
Staxton is a village about the size of
Cathcart, about 7 miles from Scarborough. Not much is known about the other
siblings that remained, except that Alice Barker(BAR5.10)
(Alice Ann Sawdon) lived at Scarborough during the two world wars, where she
kept a boarding house. Her boarding house was used to billet soldiers, which
in turn was how she and her family come to meet her brother John’s
descendants, who were stationed in England during the 1st World War and 2nd
World War. |
