FROM THE BISHOPS TRANSCRIPT OF ST. MARTIN, EBOR
Marriage
1636 Edward Carleton of the parish of Barmeston & Ellen Newton . . . No.3
[Signed] Johes Birchall Rector
* The word yeoman was written in the margin of the page in a different
ink: possibly it was taken from the marriage license, as an afterthought.
The printed record in the published register is garbled. The contemporary
Bishops transcript filed in the Diocesan Registry, York, is a better
record, made by the rector, while the register record may have been done by
an illiterate parish clerk.
How Ellen Newton, who was of a family belonging to Hedon in the East Riding,
happened to be living in York at the time of her marriage, is a puzzle the
elucidation of which has been baffling. Perhaps, her close paternal
relatives having died, she may have been with maternal relatives, whose
identity has so far eluded all search.
