Place:Haldenby, West Riding of Yorkshire, England

source: Family History Library Catalog

A Vision of Britain through Time provides the following description of Haldenby from John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales of 1870-72:

"HALDENBY, a township in Adlingfleet parish, [West Riding of] Yorkshire; near the river Trent, 6 ½ miles SE of Goole. Acres: 1,422. Real property: £3,549. Population: 57. Houses: 9. Haldenby Park is the seat of the Jacksons."

This part of West Riding of Yorkshire south of the River Humber and east of Goole became part of the County of Humberside in 1974. When Humberside was abolished in 1996, it came under the administration of the North Lincolnshire District of Lincolnshire.

Research Tips

• GENUKI on Haldenby. GENUKI includes Haldenby under Adlingfleet because Adlingfleet was its ancient parish. It gives numerous references to local bodies providing genealogical assistance.
• The FamilySearch wiki also includes Haldenby under Adlingfleet.
• A Vision of Britain through Time also provides links to three maps for the Goole Rural District, produced by the United Kingdom Ordnance Survey. These maps expand to a scale that will illustrate small villages and large farms or estates.

• Ordnance Survey West Riding 1888. The "Sanitary Districts (which preceded the rural districts) for the whole of the West Riding.
• Ordnance Survey West Riding South 1900. This map is not equivalent to maps for other parts of the country at this time period and does not show parish boundaries. However, Goole Rural District is clearly shown. It is at the extreme right of the map and much wider than it is long.
• Ordnance Survey West Riding 1944. The urban and rural districts of the whole of the West Riding after the revisions of 1935. This map does show the civil parish boundaries.

Remember that the entire rural district became part of Humberside 1974-1996, but on the abolition of Humberside, some parishes joined Lincolnshire while others joined the East Riding of Yorkshire. This fact is covered on a parish by parish basis.
