U DDDU Papers of the Duesbery Family of Beverley

Transcription

1 U DDDU Papers of the Duesbery Family of Beverley Biographical Background: The papers in U DDDU relate to the Duesbery family who were seamen and merchants originating in Scarborough and surrounds from at least the early eighteenth century. Thomas Duesbery, a master mariner in the 1710s and 1720s, married Catherine Hudson who became the co-heiress of her mother, Mary Hudson, and the Duesbery family inherited property and money through this marriage match. In the 1730s Thomas Duesbery was in a position to have a ship built for him - the 'Thomas and Hannah' - and the next generation had shares in this venture. Most of the papers in the collection begin with the property purchase and business transactions of Thomas Duesbery's grandchildren and great-grandchildren. His grandsons, Robert Duesbery and Matthew Duesbery, carried on the merchant trading business and in the 1760s Robert Duesbery built up a considerable family estate around Scarborough by buying estates at Hunsley and Riplingham. Robert Duesbery married Elizabeth and had at least two children. His eldest son, Robert Duesbery, became his agent, setting up in the mercantile worlds of London and St Petersburg and the collection contains some of his interesting business and personal correspondence. Robert and Elizabeth Duesbery also had a daughter, Catherine, and when her brother died she carried on the business and ran the estate in Riplingham (expanding the house considerably) until her own death in She married first Oswald Langwith, but was widowed and then remarried in 1782, the Reverend Robert Younge. This final marriage was a disaster and the letters in the collection from several people place the blame on the Reverend Younge for their separation after only four years (Allison, History of Yorkshire East Riding, iv, pp.145-6; U DDDU/20/9c; U DDDU/21/23, 36, 49). When Catherine Younge died the family property and assets passed to her nephew, Thomas Duesbery, who had trained as a lawyer and practised in Beverley. A very successful land agent and onetime mayor, his name crops up in property transactions throughout the landed family papers held in the Brynmor Jones Library. He expanded the family landholdings, purchasing the manor and manor house of Gransmoor in 1810 and the manor of Kilham with 800 acres from Mark Masterman Sykes of Sledmere in When he died without issue in 1837, the whole lot was inherited by the son of his sister, Hannah Thornton. William Duesbery Thornton, also an attorney, took on the surname Duesbery after this inheritance. In 1868 he sold Hunsley and Riplingham to W H Harrison-Broadley and in 1877 he followed this by selling Kilham to Lord Londesborough, leaving just Gransmoor which was inherited by his son, the Reverend C L Thornton Duesbery. In 1900 this last portion of the Duesbery family property was sold, comprising 1372 acres, bought by J T T Cliff. The property papers in U DDDU record particularly the descent of these four places from the early modern period (Allison, History of Yorkshire East Riding, ii, pp.109, 111, 252, 257, 336, iv, pp.145-6).
