THE INKLEY FAMILY

Of Swineshead, Gosberton, Pinchbeck, and Surfleet, Lincolnshire

The name Inkley is a corrupt spelling of the place-name Hinckley, a parish in Warwickshire but lying partly in Leicestershire. Since the eighteenth century the name has been common in the Lincolnshire towns named in the title, which are in fact almost the only places in the county where it has persisted to the present. There was also at one time a farmhouse belonging to an Inkley family in the hamlet of Throckenholl, about 1½ miles south-east of Gedney Hill Chapel.

The following material builds upon the work of the late Mary Rebecca (Inkley) Hafen (1866-1936), of Salt Lake City, Utah. It owes even more to the extensive researches of Beth (Inkley) Memmott, of Omaha, Nebraska, who began a systematic investigation of the Inkley name in the parish registers of the area many years ago. Her extracts from these records submitted to the Genealogical Society of Utah (GSU) under the name of her father, Mr. Edwin C. Inkley, were what first alerted me to her work. In the interests of conserving space I have usually not cited these extracts in the present notes, as in most cases I have since checked them against the original records; and thus my debt to Mrs. Memmott is really greater than what is apparent here. Material received directly from Mrs. Memmott, and not covered by the GSU’s extraction program or personally verified by me, has been credited to her (I hope sufficiently) in the endnotes.

Thanks are also due to the following Inkley descendants:

• Dennis Morland Inkley, of Donington, Lincolnshire, for information on his branch of the family
• Dick Howard, of Geauga County, Ohio, for information on the descendants of James Inkley, who may or may not have been of this family (see the entry for him following the main text)

Several professional genealogists or persons working on behalf of Inkley descendants also supplied material for these notes:

• Pat Pomeroy, of Fishtoft, Lincolnshire, who supplied a transcription of the tombstone of Edward Inkley (1871-1844) and his family.
• L. Rippin, who sent extracts from a number of documents
• John Orange, who transcribed many Inkley entries from the 1881 census long before it was available in the transcript by the Mormons’ Family History Society
• Liz Reading, of Northamptonshire, who sent material on the family of Rhoda (Inkley) Lenton

All Inkley entries in the parish register of Gosberton, Lincolnshire are incorporated somewhere in the present notes, if only in the list of Unplaced Persons at the end. All extracts are from original registers, not bishops’ transcripts, unless otherwise stated. All dates before 2 Sept. 1752 are Old Style, and have not been converted.

1. William¹ Hincley, of Swineshead, of unknown parentage, was b. say 1710, and d. (apparently intestate) shortly before 5 May 1754, when he was buried in Swineshead churchyard. Beth (Inkley) Memmott discovered a William Inkley bapt. 14 May 1702 in the parish church of Wigtoft, Lincolnshire, son of Peter and Alice (Hall) Inkley, but we are unable to say whether this is the same person. William Hincley of Swineshead m. (1) 18 May 1735, Mary Thornhill, d. shortly before 9 May 1744, when she was buried in Swineshead churchyard. He m. (2) (as her first husband) 2 Feb. 1746[/7], in Swineshead parish church, following publication of banns, Elizabeth Moore, bapt. 7 May 1723 in Swineshead parish church, d. shortly before 13 Oct. 1762, when she was buried in Swineshead churchyard,^[1] having m. (2) in 1754, Thomas Audis; daughter of Luke and Mary (Perkins) Moore, of Swineshead (see our forthcoming MOORE notes). At the time of his first mariage he and his wife were both of Swineshead, and likewise with his second marriage. In his burial record his surname is spelt Inckley, showing the loss of the initial H which would occur in the next generation with his son Edward. No will or administration bond for him or for either of his wives has been found. After Elisabeth (Moore) Hincley’s death in 1762, it seems that those of her children who were still alive must have been raised by her second husband, Thomas Audis (who moved to Moulton some time after 1763); for besides naming in his will his own children by Elizabeth, he leaves £10 to her son Edward Inkley. Children, so far as known (all bapt. in Swineshead parish church)

(by first wife:)

1. William Hincley, bapt. 26 Dec. 1735, of whom no further record has been found.
2. Mary Hincley, bapt. 30 March 1739[/40], buried 9 May 1748 in Swineshead churchyard.

(by second wife:)

3. Sarah Hincley, bapt. 8 May. 1747, buried 29 Aug. 1747 in Swineshead churchyard. Her mother is erroneously called Mary in the baptismal record, but is correctly called Elisabeth in the burial record.
4. Mary Hincley, bapt. 9 May 1748 in Swineshead parish church, of whom no further record has been found.
5. John Hincley, bapt. 14 April 1749, of whom no further record has been found.
6. 2Edward Hincley, bapt. (as “Edmund”) 15 July 1753.

2. Edward² Inkley, of Gosberton, son of William and Elizabeth (Moore) Hincley, of Swineshead (see section I above), was bapt. 15 July 1753 in Swineshead parish church, and d. (apparently intestate, aged 49 years) shortly before 3 April 1802, when he was buried in Gosberton churchyard (where no tombstone for him survives). He is called Edmund in the record of his baptism, but it is clear from subsequent records that his name was really Edward. The two names were frequently confused at the time. As mentioned above, he was probably brought up, possibly at Moulton, by his stepfather, Thomas Audis, in whose will he is named. He m. 26 Feb. 1781 in the parish church of Pinchbeck, Lincolnshire, Ann Fountain, bapt. 8 April 1763 in Gosberton parish church, d. shortly before 28 Oct. 1820, when she was buried in Gosberton churchyard (where no tombstone survives); daughter of Robert and Ann (____) (Middlebrook) Fountain, of Gosberton, Lincolnshire (see our forthcoming FOUNTAIN notes). Even though Edward Inkley was married at Pinchbeck, he may not have been living there, as his eldest child, born less than two weeks later, was baptized at Gosberton. He and his wife became Congregationalists, and although living at Gosberton were attending Money Bridge Lane Independent Chapel, Pinchbeck, where they were first received at the quarterly meeting of 30 May 1788. Their younger children were all baptized in this chapel, but their marriages took place in Anglican churches as non-conformist chapels were not allowed to perform marriages at this time. In 1790 Edward and Ann Inkley were granted letters of administration for the estate of her sister, Loetitia Fountain, in which he is called a farmer, of Gosberton, and makes a mark in lieu of a signature. A George Brown of Pinchbeck was bound with them. Ann (Fountain) Inkley is called “from Surfleet” in the Gosberton burial register, so had apparently been living there for some time before her death, perhaps with her son Robert. No will has been found for either of them in the years 1802 onward. Known issue:

1. 3Edward Inkley, Jr., bapt. 11 March 1781 in Gosberton parish church.
2. William Inkley, d. apparently unbaptized, and buried 8 July 1783 in Gosberton churchyard.
3. William Inkley, d. apparently unbaptized, and buried 2 April 1784 in Gosberton churchyard.
4. Elisabeth Inkley, bapt. 13 May 1785 in Gosberton parish church, living 1824. She m. 28 June 1819 in Pinchbeck parish church, John Rylot, living 1824, possibly the son of this name b. to John and Mary (____) Rylett, of Swineshead, and bapt. there 20 April 1787. John Rylot is called a laborer, of Surfleet Fen, in the baptismal records of all his known children (1820-24). He is called a laborer in the marriage records of his sons George and William (1846, 1851). Although in the account of their descendants which follows some of the persons are marked with question marks for want of conclusive evidence as to their parentage, most of the affiliations suggested are probably correct, as there does not seem to have been any other contemporary Rylot(t) family of the area with which the present one could have been confused. Known issue:
   1. William Rylot(t), bapt. 13 Aug. 1820 in Surfleet parish church, d. shortly before 7 Jan. 1865, when he was buried in Surfleet churchyard. He m. 13 Nov. 1851 in Gosberton parish church, following publication of banns, Monica Burnett, b. by 1830, daughter of Thomas Burnett, a laborer. At the time of their marriage both were of Gosberton, and he was a laborer; he was able to sign his name in the register but she made a mark instead. The witnesses were a William Ladd and a Jemima Twelves. In the baptismal records of his son Samuel (1852) and daughter Frances (1855) he is called a cottager, of Gosberton Fen, while in that of his daughter Elizabeth (1857) he is called a cottager, of Gosberton Risegate, and in that of his daughter Mary (1860) a laborer, of Surfleet. His address is given as Risegate, Surfleet, in his burial record. He is posthumously called a cottager in the marriage record of his son Samuel (1871). Known issue:
      1. Samuel Rylott, bapt. 28 May 1852 in Gosberton parish church, living 1895. He m. 24 Oct. 1871 in Surfleet parish church, following publication of banns, Isabella Greetham, b. 1850-51, d. at the age of 83 years, shortly before 16 June 1934, when she was buried in Gosberton churchyard, daughter of John Greetham, a cottager, and perhaps a sister of the Jane Greetham who married Edwin Barnes Inkley, below. At the time of their marriage both were of Surfleet, and he (who was then underage) was a shoemaker; both were able to sign their names in the register. The witnesses were a Frances Rylott, and another person whose name is practically illegible. In the joint baptismal record of his daughters Frances and Ida (1874) he is called a laborer, of Gosberton. In that of children 3-6 (1880) and 8 & 9 (1887) he is called a cordwainer (i.e. shoemaker), of Gosberton, and in that of 10-12 (1895) a shoemaker. In 1881 he was a witness at the marriage of his sister Elisabeth. He, is called a shoemaker in the marriage records of his children Rose and Albert (both 1905), a post-master in that of his daughter Florence (1906), and a boot-maker in that of his son Arthur (1915). At the time of his wife’s death she was residing in Salem Street, Gosberton. Samuel Rylott was extremely lax in baptizing his children, having them all done in groups in some cases many years after their births, the dates of which cannot be estimated for most of the first eight children as their ages are not given in the records.

The witnesses were a Samuel Graves, and Sarah Ann Rylott (whose signature matches that of the Sarah Ann Rylott shown immediately below). The marriage record makes his wife a spinster, so it is unclear how she could have had a different surname from that of her father. Only known child:
         1. Eliza Rylott, b. 1884-85. She m. 18 Feb. 1907 in Gosberton parish church, following publication of banns, Frederick Chapman Jr., b. 1872-73, son of Frederick Chapman, a cottager.

Her marriage record calls her a daughter of “George Rylott, cottager.” At the time of her marriage she and her husband were both of Surfleet, and he was a laborer; both were able to sign their names in the register, and her signature is that of the Sarah Ann Rylott who five months earlier had witnessed the marriage of Charles Rylott, immediately above. The witnesses were a Thomas Harper and a Mary Ann Leverton.
      5. (probably) John Thomas Rylott, b. 1858-59, living 1902. He m. 26 Nov. 1891 in Surfleet parish church, Ann Moore, b. 1865-63, daughter of Thomas Moore, a laborer. His marriage record calls him a son of “George Rylott, labourer.” At the time of his marriage he and his wife were both of Surfleet, and he was a farmer; both were able to sign their names in the register, and his signature matches that of the John Thomas Rylatt who was a witness to the marriage of Mary Ann, daughter of Timothy Inkley, in 1891. The witnesses were William Moore, Charlotte Moore, Joseph Moore, Luke Rylott, Elizabeth Ruth Willcock, and Laurina Lord. In the baptismal record of his three eldest children he is called a farmer, of Surfleet Risegate. In that of his fourth and fifth children (1902) he is called a farmer, of Gosberton. Known issue (all baptisms in Gosberton parish church):
         1. “Elija” [i.e. Eliza?] Rylott (gender not stated), b. 28 April 1892, bapt. 30 Dec. 1896.
         2. Mabel Rylott, b. 28 Aug. 1894, bapt. 20 Dec. 1896.

Her marriage record calls her father “John Rylatt, labourer.” At the time of her marriage, she and her husband were both were of Gosberton; she was a servant and he a laborer. Neither was able to sign their name in the register, and had to make a mark instead. The witnesses were a John Bowley Jr. and an Elisabeth Lusely (?). William Bowley is called a laborer, of Gosberton, in the baptismal records of their children (1848-1852). Known issue (all baptisms in Gosberton parish church):
      1. John Bowley, bapt. 10 June 1848.
      2. “Betsy” Bowley, bapt. 24 April 1850.
      3. Anne Bowley, bapt. 13 June 1852.
   5. (probably) John Rylat, b. by 1828. He m. 17 May 1849 in Surfleet parish church (whether by banns or by licence not being stated), Ann Smith, b. 1825-26 at Gosberton, daughter of Thomas Smith, a farmer. The evidence that he was a son of John and Elizabeth (Inkley) Rylat is that his father is called “John Rylot, farmer” in his marriage certificate, and that the marriage was witnessed by their known son William. At the time of the marriage John Rylat and his wife were both of Surfleet, and he was a laborer; both were able to sign their names in the register. The witnesses were the said William Rylott (whose signature proves his identity) and a Susan Smith. In 1851 Ann (Smith) Rylot was living in Risegate Road, Surfleet, next door to her husband’s presumed brother, George Rylot, and is called a “rail-road labourer’s wife,” her husband being temporarily absent.^[3] Living with her were her (illegitimate) daughter Eliza Smith, aged 5, and her son William Rylot. Only known child:
      1. William Rylot, b. in 1849-50 at Surfleet.
5. John Inkley, bapt. 14 July 1786 in Gosberton parish church, buried 15 Nov. 1793 in Gosberton churchyard. [BT]

In the baptismal record of his son Isaac (1828) he is called a laborer, of Surfleet Cheel. He and his wife had apparently separated by 1851, when he is found as a married man, but without her, working as a servant (agricultural laborer) to Robert Willcock, proprietor of “The Ship,” a beerhouse on Hammond Beck Bank, Surfleet. By 1881 he had became destitute, and was an inmate of the Pinchbeck Road Workhouse, Spalding. Known issue:
    1. (possibly) Frances Inkley, bapt. 10 June 1824 in the parish church of Pickworth, near Falkingham, Lincolnshire, as a daughter of Isaac and Mary Inkley.^[4]
    2. Isaac Inkley, Jr., bapt. 3 Aug. 1828 in Surfleet parish church.
11. Mary Inkley, bapt. 3 June 1798 in Money Bridge Lane Independent Chapel, Pinchbeck;16 d. 4 May 1838 at Wisbech St. Peter, Cambridgeshire, of a “strangulated umbilical hernia.” She m. (his first wife ) 1 Jan. 1821 in the parish church of Holbeach, Lincolnshire, George Flint, Jr., bapt. 2 May 1801 in Holbeach parish church, d. (intestate) 26 Dec. 1891, aged 91 years, at Wisbech, of “natural decay,”[43,47] having m. (2) Mary Ann (Etherington) Marwich, and (3) Mary (Mackinder) Shaw. He was a son of George and Elizabeth (Lee) Flint, of Holbeach. See the FLINT page for their issue:
12. Sarah Inkley, bapt. 11 May 1800 in Money Bridge Lane Independent Chapel, Pinchbeck, of whom no further record has been found.
13. 7Joseph Inkley, b. 1802 at Gosberton, bapt. 4 April 1802 in Money Bridge Lane Independent Chapel, Pinchbeck.

3. Edward³ Inkley, Jr., of Gosberton, eldest son of Edward and Ann (Fountain) Inkley, of the same place, was b. 1780-81, bapt. 11 March 1781 in Gosberton parish church, d. (testate) 14 Jan. 1844, aged 63 years, and was buried 17 Jan. following in Gosberton churchyard, where a tombstone survives.^[5] He m. 9 May 1813 in Spalding parish church, Alice Parkinson, b. 1792-93 at Spalding, d. 11 Jan. 1872, aged 79 or 80 years, and buried 17 Jan. following beside her husband; despite our failure to find a baptismal record for her, considering the names she bestowed on her own children, she was obviously a daughter of Clison and Alice (Barnes) Parkinson, of Spalding.^[6] Edward Inkley and his wife, like his parents, were Congregationalists, and became members of Money Bridge Lane Independent Chapel, Pinchbeck, by 1814, when their first child was baptized there; they left in or shortly after 1822.” He is called a grazier in a directory of 1826. [White, 1826] He is called a laborer in the probate papers attached to the registered copy of his will, which he dictated 25 June 1841, and which was proved 11 June 1844 by his widow; and he is posthumously called a cottager in the marriage record of his son Barnes (1859) and in the adult baptismal record of his daughter Hephzibah (1862). It is clear from his will that he lived at Gosberton Cheal, a small hamlet two miles south-west of the town of Gosberton. He left to his widow one acre and 18 perches of land with “messuage and tenement … in a place called the Cheal” in the parish of Gosberton, to be inherited after her death by his children in equal shares. He made his wife executrix, and appointed James Calthrap and John Hare of Gosberton guardians of his children in the event of his widow’s decease, until they reached the age of sixteen. The witnesses were John Robinson, Thomas Robinson, and William Robinson. On his death his estate was valued at just under £50. In 1851 his widow was living at Saltfleet Lane, Gosberton, where she was the freeholder of one acre, and she is called a cottager in the 1861 Census of Gosberton, in which she appears with their daughter Hephzibah. Known issue (the three unnamed infants who are buried with them” being perhaps their first, second, and sixth children):

1. Clison Parkinson Inkley, bapt. 1 May 1814 in Money Bridge Lane Independent Chapel, Pinchbeck, buried 28 June 1814 in Gosberton churchyard.

In 1818, although he was then living at Surfleet, he had his daughter Elizabeth buried in Gosberton churchyard. He calls himself “of Gosberton” in his will, which is dated 25 Jan. 1827 and was proved 10 July following.

      Godfre Hafen was born June 6, 1850, in the town of Scherzingen, Canton Thurgau, Switzerland, the son of John G. and Anna Elizabeth Russi Helen. He was the brother of the famous Utah artist, John Hafen, whom he accompanied to America after they were converted to the Latter-day Saints Church. He arrived in Salt Lake City about the end of October 1862, in a company under the command of William Dame.
          The winter after they arrived was a very hard one. The father's feet became frozen during the winter, which made it very hard for the family to get a living. Mrs. Hafen made linen thread and sold it to help keep the family. They raised wheat which had to be ground between two large rocks for flour. When Godfre was fifteen the family moved to Richfield, where they lived in a dugout. As he was large for his age he was placed as guard in the company of Captain Heber Higgins, against the Indians. While in Richfield he lived in the United Order; he later moved to Tooele and then to Payson, where he served as president of the Mutual Improvement Association and in other organizations of the Church. He was called in 1885 to fill a mission in Switzerland and Germany and upon his return he lived in Salt Lake City, where he resided until his death.
