Talk:Richard Earle

Family history
There is extensive material. As usual, this cannot be used directly as a source. Charles Matthews (talk) 12:43, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

In fact, I suspect the father John Earle (1778-1863) is wrongly identified there. The death date 1839 is in other sources. It is credible that Richard was the sixth son, with eldest brother John (ERL833J in ACAD) born 1814 at Driffield to "John, clerk". Now that doesn't mean that John Earle the elder worked as a clerk, much more likely it was recording the fact that he was a cleric. Charles Matthews (talk) 12:54, 25 February 2018 (UTC)

"On 21st February, 1815, he was licensed to the curacy of Foston-on- the-Wolds, with a stipend of 21l. and the surplice fees, and he was to live at Driffield. On 3rd October, 1823, Mr. Earle was licensed to the perpetual curacy of Watton on the presentation of Richard Bethell, Esq. of Rise, and died, holding it, on 9th May, 1839. On 13th August, 1837, Mr. Earle's son, John Earle, of Clare Hall, Cambridge, was ordained Deacon by the Archbishop, and was licensed to the curacy of Watton ...". From The History and Antiquities of the Parish of Hemingsbrough in the County of York, and relevant. So this guy on the CCEd database, York ordination of 1803.

The cited newspaper makes it clear that this is the father of Richard Bethell Earle. Charles Matthews (talk) 17:38, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
