This post has been sitting in my draft folder for about a year so decided to post it in case the burials are of interest to anyone from the Parish Registers of Great Driffield.
My interest in Great Driffield stems from Ann Sproxton who married John Cobb 24 Nov 1782 at Lund (near Beverley) East Yorkshire Riding and she was the daughter of Richard Sproxton and Ann Harland who were themselves married 24 Dec 1753 at Great Driffield. Ann Sproxton was identified on her wedding registration as being born at Great Driffield. This priest is to be highly commended for efficiently providing the information which unequivocably relates Ann back to her family at Great Driffield. Ann Sproxton was baptized 14 Sep 1760 at Great Driffield.
I have accumulated a number of scans of the Parish Registers of Great Driffield and will transcribe them to see if there is anything helpful to me in them. Richard Sproxton and Ann Harland baptized only four children at Great Driffield where they married
Daniel baptized 12 Mar 1754
Richard baptized 10 Oct 1756
Ann (as above)
Dyna baptized 22 Jun 1765
Richard was baptized 10 Oct 1721 the son of Richard Sproxton and Dorothy English at Hutton Cranswick and I have a number of scans for this parish as well to transcribe. Richard was buried 3 May 1770 at Great Driffield (Ann was only ten years old). Ann Harland was baptized 1 Aug 1731 at Great Driffield the daughter of Timothy Harland and Ann Wilkinson who were themselves married 24 Jun 1723 at Great Driffield. The Sproxton family continues back at Hutton Cranswick to Richard Sproxton married to Margaret Garrit (parents of Richard baptized 10 Oct 1721) 30 Sep 1688 (first marriage for Richard). This Richard was the son of John Sproxton and Ann Simpson who married 5 Jan 1659 at Hutton Cranswick. This John was the son of John Sproxton and Isobel who may have married at Hutton Cranswick (both are buried there) but no marriage found to date. Where this Sproxton family lived prior to the 1600s is unknown at this time.
