Hi, I have been researching my family history. My research appears to contradict some of the missive re relationships. I have William Gaskin 1680- 1755 married to Hannah Scarth 1684-1753. They have 7 children. One: Hannah Gaskin 1715-1795 marries Abel Chapman 3/6/45 [My DL Ancestors] 2: MIRIAM Gaskin 10/10/1711 she marries Robert WALKER [no dob or other details yet] on 11/3/1737. Robert dies and Miriam marries John WILKINSON 1708-1770 on 1/12/1743. They have a daughter Hannah 1750-1848 who married John Mathews Jnr. 3: William Gaskin 1719-?[no research as yet] Other interests and named :Henry Wilkinson 1715-1788, Esther Wilkinson 1712-1779. The Gaskins, Wilkinsons and Chapmans are ship owners.

Though born in the U.S., I come from a Whitby family. I hope to learn more about my family’s Whitby past.
