| Barmston Church dates from 12th Century and is now a Grade 1 listed building
serving a village population of about 250. It is six miles south of Bridlington
facing the North Sea. The family home of the abandoned village of Auburn lies within
the modern parish.

The farmer
| As a farmer and landowner he farmed Westfield Farm (right), Nafferton, (GR TA051 587) and, bought Houndale Farm of 1000 acres, (GR TA042597 OS Landranger 107), which was later found to have been sold under false pretences and it is said he lost £10, 000 on the deal; it being proved that the vendor did not legally own it. |  |

'.... In 18l3 and 1814 Richard[son] CROMPTON, of Beeford, took over Great Houndales with
other plots of land and a house in Nafferton. Thomas Farthing still farmed the estate meaning that
Crompton either sub-let or had purchased from Ann Paul.
(Unlikely but it is difficult to distinguish between leases and freehold conveyance in the 19th
century.)

Their children
IGI records shows Martha to be the mother of all these children, but the forenames of the fathers varies. However there is no doubt that these are the children of Thomas Richardson and Martha. This baptismal evidence also shows where the family was living at the time of their children's birth.
