| Notes |
- Thomas Buckle was born on 22 November 1811 at Seamer near Scarborough. He was christened on 27 December 1811 also at Seamer. Thomas was the son of John and Mary Buckle. He married Elizabeth and they had four children. Henry was born in 1840, John in 1843, Ann in 1846 and a second son named Henry in 1851. It was quite common for a new child to be given the same name as another who had died.
The family were living at Irton Moor Cottages in 1851. Their eldest son, Henry, was not included on the census so it is likely that he had died by then. The census record showed that Ann and John had been born at Lebberston.
In 1861 Thomas and Elizabeth were living at Forge House, East Ayton (where Harry was to be born eight years later). Both Thomas and Elizabeth lived to a very good age. Elizabeth died in 1887 aged seventy-seven, and Thomas died in 1894 aged eighty-three. In 1891 Thomas was “living on his own means” at Forge Cottage, Ayton.
He had his son-in-law, William Leng, who was now a widower and his three grand-daughters living with him.
