English Origins of the Maltby Family of Canada

 

 

(I.) WilliamD Maltby was born probably sometime in the late 1600s.[1] His parents may have been Thomas and Barbara (Smith) Maltby, who were married on 5 May 1674 in St. Mary’s Church in Gateshead, County Durham, England,[2] and had a son William baptized on 20 May 1675 in Redmarshall, County Durham, England.[3] He may have been the William Maltby who married Cicely Stringer, daughter of Richard and Anna (Barker) Stringer, on 27 Apr. 1703 in All Saints Church in Northallerton, Yorkshire, England.[4] She was born in 1678 in Northallerton, Yorkshire, England.[5] They supposedly lived in Northallerton before moving to Scarborough, Yorkshire, then back to Northallerton, Yorkshire, where they died. William Maltby had at least one son born in Scarborough.

There is a possibility that William may have descended from Sir John Mautby, Knight, of Norfolk, who married Isabel Clavering, daughter and heiress of Robert Clavering, in 1326. She was a granddaughter of Roger, Lord of Clavering, a prominent family of the nobility. Their eldest son and heir, Sir Robert Mautby, Knight, married Ellen Lovayne, daughter and heiress of Thomas Lovayne, Knight, of another prominent family. Sir John Mautby did have other sons, though, whose families have not been traced, and William Maltby, of Scarborough, could have descended from one of these, however this has not been proven, and would be almost impossible to prove. The only clue indicating this possibility is that the descendants of William Maltby, of Scarborough, were unofficially using a coat of arms that was very similar to the Clavering coat of arms, described as Quart. or. and arg. p party per fess indented. The Crest was a Wyren, and the motto was “Fear God in Life.[6]

The earliest records of a Maltby in Scarborough, England, are in 1334 when the name of William de Malteby appears on a list of freemen,[7] and again in 1406 when the name Richard Malteby appears as a resident of Scarborough.[8] A Hugo de Malebisse held lands in Yorkshire at the time of William the Conqueror in 1066, and it is speculated that he may have been the progenitor of all the Maltbys of England.[9] There is, of course, a very large elapse of time between these records and the birth of the son of William Maltby, that remains to be solved, but supposedly this branch of Maltbys had lived in Scarborough, England, at least back to the mid-1600s, if not earlier.

 

 

(II.) JohnC Maltby, son of WilliamD Maltby, of Scarborough, was born on 12 Sept. 1712 in Scarborough, Yorkshire, England,[10] according to the Maltby Bible entry, but his baptismal entry in the Parish of Scarborough is dated 5 Sept. 1712.[11] The bible entry was evidently made after 1756, when the Gregorian calendar began usage in England, which would have made his birth date in the Julian calendar about 10 days earlier, or 2 Sept. 1712.

John Maltby married Mary Dickenson on 7 Aug. 1738 in Scarborough.[12] Her father has not been identified, but there was a Mary Dickinson, daughter of Samuel Dickinson, baptized on 22 Apr. 1716 in St. John the Baptist Church, Cayton-by-Scarborough, Yorkshire, and another Mary Dickinson, daughter of George Dickinson, baptized on 9 Oct. 1719 in Seamer-near-Scarborough, Yorkshire.[13] Mary (Dickinson) Maltby died before June 1765,[14] and John Maltby supposedly died on 3 Jan. 1772 in Offerton Haugh, County Durham, England.[15]

John and Mary Maltby had children:[16]

            A. Mary Maltby, born on 27 Sept. 1739 in Scarborough, baptized 19 Oct. 1739 in Scarborough Parish, married John Todd on 6 Feb. 1763 in Scarborough.[17] He died on 9 Nov. 1784 in Yorkshire, and she died on 16 July 1805 in Kingston upon Hull, Yorkshire, England. They had two children:[18]

            1. John Todd, Jr., born on 17 Nov. 1763 in Scarborough, baptized on 24 Jan. 1764 in Scarborough Parish, married 1.) Mary Calvert on 4 Sept. 1787, and they settled in Hull, Yorkshire, England. She was born ca. 1766, and died in 1789 in Hull, England. He remarried to 2.) Elizabeth Chatterton in 1791. She was born ca. 1771 in Lincolnshire, and died on 8 May 1820 in Sculcoates, Yorkshire. He died on 8 Aug. 1838 in Hull, Yorkshire. He was apparently known to his cousin, Thomas Maltby, who included his birth date in the Maltby Family Bible. He had twin daughters by Mary Calvert, and a son by Elizabeth Chatterton:

            a. Ann Todd, a twin, born on 25 Sept. 1788 in Hull, married Henry Dring. He was born on 12 July 1786 in Patrington, Yorkshire, and died in Jan. 1870 in Roos, Yorkshire. She died on 17 July 1877 in Nottinghamshire, England.

            b. Mary Todd, a twin, born on 25 Sept. 1788 in Hull, died in infancy in 1788.

            c. John Stephen Todd, born on 20 Dec. 1792 in Kingston upon Hull, Yorkshire, married Jane Potton on 1 July 1816 in Lincolnshire. She was born ca. 1799. He died on 13 June 1839 in Yorkshire.

            2. Mary Todd, baptized on 31 Oct. 1766 in Scarborough Parish, possibly died young, since she was not mentioned in Thomas Maltby’s family bible.

            B. William Maltby, born on 10 Sept. 1741 in Scarborough, baptized 24 Sept. 1741 in Scarborough Parish, evidently died young.

            C. Capt. JohnB Maltby, Jr., born on 9 Dec. 1742 in Scarborough, baptized 4 Jan. 1743 in Scarborough Parish, married Margaret (Rickaby) Addison on 20 June 1765 in St. Mary Castlegate, York City, Yorkshire, England.[19] (Continued.)

            D. Capt. William Maltby, born on 25 Apr. 1744 in Scarborough, his baptism not recorded in Scarborough Parish, survived to adulthood, and was in the fishing business with his brother, John, in Sunderland, England. No marriage or children have been discovered for him, but he may have lived in Tynemouth, County Northumberland, England.

            E. Dickenson Maltby, a son, born on 3 Sept. 1745 in Scarborough, baptized 21 Sept. 1745 in Scarborough Parish, no further record.

            F. Hugh Maltby, born on 10 May 1747 in Scarborough, baptized 5 June 1747 in Scarborough Parish, no further record.

            G. Isabella Maltby, born on 27 July 1750 in Scarborough, baptized 23 Aug. 1750 in Scarborough Parish, no further record.

 

 

(III.) Capt. JohnB Maltby, Jr., second son of JohnC Maltby, WilliamD; born in Scarborough on 9 Dec. 1742,[20] married Margaret (Rickaby) Addison, widow of George Addison, Esq., of Whitby, Yorkshire, England, on 20 June 1765 in St. Mary Castlegate, York City, Yorkshire, England.[21] She had married first to George Addison, of Whitby, on 27 Mar. 1762 in Whitby, Yorkshire,[22] who died on 14 Mar. 1763 in Whitby, and was buried in St. Mary the Virgin Churchyard in Whitby, North Yorkshire, England.[23] No children were found for George and Margaret Addison, of Whitby, nor was an appropriate baptismal record for Margaret Rickaby found in the I.G.I.[24]

            John and Margaret Maltby, Jr., moved to Sunderland, County Durham, England, where he and his broth­er William Maltby each owned a fishing vessel. A letter dated 29 July 1883 from Bell Wilkinson, of Sunderland, to Richard3 Leighton Maltby, of Newcastle, NB, stated “Our son has a nice old painting of two ships (that I suppose would belong to your great, great-grandfather) sailing from Scarborough, the birthplace of the old, old Maltbys, say 200 years ago; the names of the ships are on the back of the picture. They are bound for the Greenland whale fishery.” John Maltby, Jr., and his brother, William Maltby, supposedly owned the two ships in the picture.[25] Bell Wilkinson married a great-granddaughter of John Maltby, Jr.

            In addition, John Maltby, Jr., taught school in Sunderland, from 1765 until his death in 1774. He was probably the John Maltby, Captain of the “Success” out of North Shields, which wrecked off the Farne Islands during a severe storm on the night of 3 Dec. 1774 and the morning of 4 Dec. 1774 with the “Polly” and one other ship,[26] and was buried in St. Aidan Churchyard in Bamburgh, Northumberland, England, on 21 Dec. 1774.[27] Richard Leighton Maltby had an account book of his dating from June 1765, with the names of his pupils and the amounts of their tuition fees.[28] His widow, Margaret, moved back to Scarborough after his death, remarried again to William Robinson, of Scarborough, on 7 Aug. 1775 in Scarborough St. Mary, Yorkshire, England.[29] No death record was found for either of them in Scarborough, Yorkshire.

            John Maltby, Jr., had three children, and Margaret had three more children by William Robinson, but baptisms were found for only the Robinson children:[30]

            A. Capt. ThomasA Maltby, born on 12 Oct. 1766 in Sunderland, England, married Mary Baker[?] in 1789. (Continued.)

            B. Margaret Maltby, born on 30 Aug. 1767 in Sunderland, no further record.

            C. William Dent Maltby, born on 29 Oct. 1769 in Sunderland, no further record.

            D. George Robinson, born on 17 Aug. 1775 in Scarborough, baptized on 15 Sept. 1775 in Scarborough Parish.

            E. Mary Robinson, born on 2 July 1777 in Scarborough, baptized on 30 July 1777 in Scarborough Parish.

            F. Isabella Robinson, born on 6 July 1780 in Scarborough, baptized on 24 Sept. 1780 in Scarborough Parish.

 

 

(IV.) Capt. ThomasA Maltby, eldest son of JohnB Maltby Jr., JohnC, WilliamD; born in Sunderland on 12 Oct. 1766,[31] married Mary Baker[?], of Bristol,[32] England, in 1789, and lived in Scarborough and Sunderland. She may have been the daughter of John and Ellen (Wilcock) Baker, who were married on 20 Dec. 1764 in St. Mary’s Church in Kingston-Upon-Hull, Yorkshire, England,[33] and she supposedly married Capt. Thomas Maltby in St. Martin-on-the-Hill Church in Scarborough in 1789.[34] Her surname was thought to have been “Baker” because they named their son Thomas Baker Maltby.[35]

            Capt. Thomas Maltby studied navigation, and, following in his father's footsteps, became a master mariner and sea captain, transporting coal and goods along the Baltic Sea. Before the Napoleonic War with France, 1808‑1815, while trying to run a blockade in the Baltic, Thomas Maltby was taken prisoner in the year 1807, and was imprisoned in the French prison at Arras, for 7 years.[36]

            Capt. Thomas Maltby also kept the Maltby Family Bible from which the early births and marriages were copied. In 1918 the bible was in the possession of Louise Marie (Wilkinson) Brown, of Sunderland, England.[37]

            In 1916 Mary Ethel Keymes (Maltby) Orr, of Old Town, Maine, was in possession of several old letters written by Capt. Thomas Maltby to his wife and family, then living in Sunderland, while he was in prison. While there he taught navigation to the other prisoners. He was a very religious man, and a devout follower of John Wesley. In his captivity, with the many other men there, they enjoyed a religious service often three times a day, each taking turns in “exhorting their congregation to follow the sacred teachings of our Saviour.” In one of his letters to his wife, he says, “Oh, the sweet counsel we take together, blessed be God, he has sent me Jeremiah Taylor, and we take turns preaching twice a day and urging others to follow Christ.” Bell Wilkinson also described the letters: “In his letters from the prison at Arras, the handwriting was as though it was Copper Plate. I blush for my poor writing when I consider the perfect formation of every letter in the closely written epistles he sent from his prison home. He always addressed his wife, 'My Dear Love,' and wrote her affectionately, and filled his letters full with passages from the Scriptures.” He also composed hymns for the Wesleyan Hymnal, marked “Maltby.” They may be very hard to find now, since they were only found in some of the early editions of John Wesley's Hymn Book. There was also, in 1916, a pew in the Sans Street Methodist Church, Sunderland, England, which was supposed to have been the pew of Thomas Maltby. He was finally released from prison at the close of the war, and returned to Sunderland.[38] He died in Mar. 1829 in Sunderland, England, and was buried in St. Mary’s Church in South Hylton, Sunderland, County Durham, England,[39] but no gravestone or death record was in Sunderland for his wife Mary.

            Capt. Thomas and Mary Maltby had three children:[40]

            A. Elizabeth Maltby, born on 22 July 1790 in Scarborough, Yorkshire,[41] but her baptismal record was dated 21 July 1790 in Scarborough,[42] married William Thompson on 2 Sept. 1816 in Sunderland, County Durham, England.[43] He was born ca. 1790 in County Durham, England,[44] and he called a carpenter, ship carpenter, and shipwright at the baptisms of his children in Sunderland. They were enumerated twice in the 1841 census, as living on Spring Garden Lane in Sunderland, County Durham, where he was a mariner,[45] and as living on Pottery High Row in Hylton, Sunderland Borough, County Durham, where he was a potter.[46] He supposedly died in Oct. 1846 in Sunderland,[47] and she was a potter’s widow living on Burleigh Street in Sunderland in the 1851 census.[48] She supposedly died in Mar. 1863 in Sunderland,[49] but she was not found in the 1861 census there.

    [370] His parents have not yet been identified. No birth record was found for either a Bell Wilkinson or a Yeal Wilkinson in the I.G.I. There was a family of Wilkinsons living in Sunderland at the time: Joseph and Emma (Pratt) Wilkinson. They had a son named Campbell Wilkinson born on 21 Dec. 1815 in Sunderland, but not a son named Yeal. They had a son named William Wilkinson born on 28 July 1813, who would have been the age of Yeal Wilkinson, brother of Bell Wilkinson. There is a possibility that Campbell was shortened to Bell Wilkinson, and that William Wilkinson had a middle name, Yeal, of which he was known.

His father’s occupation was listed as “keel,” which was a common occupation in Sunderland, presumably something to do with the ship building industry there.
