John and his wife Alice had three attempts before having a surviving daughter named Ann - who reached adulthood and married George SNOWDEN in 1864. They also had three attempts to have a surviving son named John but it appears that their attempts failed - there was no mention of a son named John in John Snr's will in 1855.

The will, dated 6 Jan 1865, proved at York on 16 Dec 1868, named his wife Alice, daughter Rachel METCALF, wife of Jeremiah Metcalf, daughter Ann SNOWDEN wife of George Snowden and "youngest daughter" Martha BURNETT, as beneficiaries. The will also indicated that John rented two farms; one his main residence at Snainton, the other, at Ebberston, the residence of his daughter Rachel and her husband Jeremiah. The household goods, furniture, etc. at Ebberston were to be sold and the farm implements etc. were to become the property of Jeremiah Metcalf. Rachel & Jeremiah Metcalf were to become "servants" on the farm at Snainton - presumably they were to move in with John's widow.

The value of John's personal estate was £3000

Identified as "my youngest daughter" in her father's will in 1868 one year later Martha married Charles BESWICK at Brompton by Sawdon parish church on 8 Apr 1869.
[GRO Index of Marriages: BURNETT, Martha, Jun 1869, Scarborough, 9d 425]

Alice Burnett BESWICK, daughter of *John* BESWICK and Martha BURNETT was baptised on 5 Feb 1871 at Scarborough. There is some doubt about the name of Alice's father; was it John or Charles? The following census return seems to confirm that he was in fact named Charles:

69. Ann BESWICK

Ann was the illegitimate daughter of her mother Mary BESWICK - her baptism record in the Brompton by Sawdon parish register does not name her father.

1841 census: HO107/1260/4, folio 18, p7
Three year old Ann was with her mother at the home of Anthony BESWICK in Snainton - see notes for mother Mary BESWICK

70. Jane BURNETT

Jane Burnitt of Snainton, age 3 yrs, was buied at Brompton on 10 Aug 1847. On the same day Mary Burnitt of Snainton, age 1 yr, was buried. Mary is known to have been the daughter of William Burnett and Mary (nee Beswick) - it is very likely that Jane was also their daughter.

71. Mary BURNETT

Mary died before she reached age 5yrs. She was not listed with her parents at the time of the 1851 census and a second daughter named Mary was baptised by these parents in 1852.

Joseph BURNETT, 46, mar, tailor & draper, Robin Hood's Bay, was one of four boarders at an "eating house" run by Richard J. MARSTON (42) and his wife Jane. Richard MARSTON gave his birthplace as Snainton, which is where Joseph was actually born [his wife and children were living in Robin Hood's Bay at the time of this census - see notes for wife Sarah Ann CAMPBELL]. Joseph probably knew Richard well - indeed he was quite possibly a relative.

Joseph died in 1898 at the aged 73yrs. His wife Sarah Ann pre-deceased him - she died in May 1891 shortly after the census of that year. They were buried in the same plot at Scarborough cemetery. According to the cemetery register a 20 month old female child with the surname CLARKE was also buried in the same plot, on what appears to be the same date as Sarah Ann BURNETT. However, the register entry for the adjacent plot, which was for burials of members of the BUCKETT family, also includes the burial of a 4 month old child named Tamar Ellen CLARKE. There was no known connection between the family of Joseph and Sarah Ann BURNETT and the CLARKE family and it seems likely that the burial details for the unnamed female child were entered in the wrong place in the register. [Or the child was actually buried in the wrong plot!!]

The service record lists no children of the marriage. Arthur and Agnes were living at 3 St. Vincent Ave., Doncaster at the time he joined up, at Pontefract, on 11 Jun 1918; exactly five months before the war ended. Arthur was working for the Post Office as a telegraphist and sorting clerk at that time. He was 47yrs and 3 mnths old. His skills as a telegraphist were noted and put to good use - he was placed on 'special reserve' with the signals corps.

Mike BURNETT, a descendant, provided a date of death for Charlotte in 1895 - source not quoted. The GRO Index of deaths does not have a matching entry in 1895 but the following entry appears to be the correct one: BURNETT, Charlotte, Jun 1891, Easingwold, 9d 387, age 78.
The given age at death is consistent with Charlotte's known birth date in 1813.

Joseph's year and place of birth are both consistent with him having been a son of Thomas BURNETT and his wife Margaret [nee DAWSON] who were living at Thornton le Dale and having children baptised there between 1849 and 1854 and who were still at Thornton le Dale at the time of the 1881 census.

"Hull Packet" newspaper, Fri. 19 Dec 1873:
"Bad Meat Prosecution - On Saturday Mr. James Burnett, farmer, of Langton, was summoned by the Local Board of Health for offering for sale to a butcher the carcase of a ewe sheep, which was unfit for food, and which was seized by the sanitary inspector and destroyed under a magistrate's order. The Defendant's plea was that he did not know the carcass was bad when he sent it to Malton, and the prosecutors said they had reason to believe in the truth of this, and they did not press for a heavy penalty. The Bench ordered him to pay 20s, fine and costs. They could have fined him £20"

James died intestate at the very young age of 34yrs, just two months after the birth of his daughter Mary; he having contracted pneumonia. Administration of his estate was granted to his widow, Elizabeth Burnett, at York, on 2 Dec 1876.

She was greatly beloved by a large number of patients. Since her marriage she had taken an active part in the Nursing Association, the Woman's Institute and the V.A.D. She was a member of the Kirbymoorside All Saint's Church Council.
Mrs. Burnett's death will in many ways be a great loss to the town, and much sympathy is expressed for her husband, who is also interested in the various institutions in which his wife took part. The funeral will take place on Saturday.

Family folklore has it that Mary was very fond of her second cousin Philip BURNETT - who was a regular visitor to her home. It was as a result of Mary nursing Philip, after he had a riding accident on the way home from one of these visits, that their relationship blossomed into marriage in 1912.

Newspaper Obituary
SALTON
FUNERAL OF MRS. BURNETT
The funeral took place at Salton Church, on Saturday, of Mrs. Burnett, wife of Mr. Philip Burnett, a prominent farmer of Salton. Mrs. Burnett's decease during Christmas came as a bitter blow to the village; she was held in very high esteem. She has been suffering for some months past, but her spirit was undaunted. Only about three weeks ago, though confined to her room, she arranged a social function in the village in aid of local nursing funds. Mrs. Burnett was a native of Kirbymoorside. For almost 30 years she has been an active worker in relief of the suffering, and her generosity, with her kindly personality, will be greatly missed. During the Great War she helped to nurse the wounded in London. It was due to her, to a large extent, that the East Ryedale Nursing Association was formed, and she was the first chairman. She had supported the district Conservative Association almost all her life. Salton Church has lost a devoted worker. The Women's Institute, which is linked with that of Brawby, has also had her great support, and she has served as both president and vice-president.
The little church was crowded with mourners from a wide area of the North Riding. The service was conducted by Canon Ingham, of Malton, assisted by the Vicar of Salton, the Rev. T. W. Collis, Miss Madge Baker presided at the organ. The chief mourners were Mr. Burnett, Miss P. Burnett, Miss Joan Burnett, Miss N. Burnett, Mrs. Lewis G. Rowland (Goathland), Mrs. Good (West Ayton), Mrs. Monson, Mr. and Mrs. Bellwood (Scarborough), Miss Scoby (Salton), Mrs. Benton, the Misses Benton (Great Edstone), Mrs. Featherstone, Mrs. Jackson, Mr. W. Benton and Mr. J. Benton.......

Philip BURNETT

GRO Index of Births: BURNETT, Philip, Sep 1874, Scarborough, 9d 355

1881 census: with parents in Langton - see notes for father Philip BURNETT

1891 census: with parents in Birdsall - see notes for father Philip BURNETT

1901 census: with his father at Birdsall - see notes for father Philip BURNETT.

Philip married his second cousin, Mary BURNETT of Langton, in 1912. Family folklore has it that Mary was very fond of Philip, who was a regular visitor to her home, but their relationship did not blossom into marriage until Mary nursed Philip after he had a riding accident on the way home from one of these visits. Philip's horse shied near Birdsall church and he was thrown into one of the high stone walls of the churchyard. The horse returned home alone in the dark and Philip staggered home, with a serious head injury, later. He was treated by Dr. CALBY and nursed by Mary BURNETT. He never completely recovered and became quite deaf.

Philip and Mary lived at Birdsall after their marriage - Philip had taken over his father's farm there. Their four children were all born at Birdsall but the family later moved to a larger farm at Northolm, where they suffered disastrous financial losses as a result of flooding of the River Dove. When Philip retired he and Mary moved to the Red House at Salton - their final home together.

Philip was joint executor of his father's will in 1913 while he was living at Birdsall, having taken over his father's farm there some time before. His father had moved to Hovingham, where he died. In fact Philip had 'purchased' the farm at Birdsall from his father with a "promissory note" for an undisclosed sum of money. One of the clauses of the father's will was that £400 of the amount due on this promissory note should be invested by Philip to provide for "the maintenance and benefit of" his eldest sister Grace Ann Burnett, who had remained a spinster.

Philip was also one of the executors and a beneficiary of his sister Hannah's will, proved 5 Dec 1928. His address at that time was also given as Birdsall.
