Beningbrough (#4 on map) is now a civil parish and a village in the Hambleton District of North Yorkshire, England. The population as taken at the 2011 Census was less than 100. As is usual for parishes of this size, the Census Office combines the parish data with those of a larger neighbouring parish. Here, details are included in the civil parish of Shipton, North Yorkshire (#25). According to the 2001 Census, parish population was 55.
Beningbrough village is northwest of York city centre. The parish, which includes Beningbrough Hall and Park, is bordered at the southwest by the River Ouse, beyond which is the Harrogate District which before 1974 was in the West Riding of Yorkshire, England.
Beningbrough is within the modern ecclesiastical parish of "Shipton with Overton". The parish church (Church of England) of Holy Evangelists is at Shipton (near Beningbrough). In 1870 Beningbrough was a township in the parish of Newton on Ouse (#21), containing 88 people in 15 houses within an area of 1,070 acres (4.3 km2), and in 1877, 74 people in 1,092 acres (4.4 km2).
Beningbrough is listed in the 1086 Domesday Book as "Benniburg", meaning a "stronghold associated with a man called 'Beonna'", an Old English person name. At the time of the Norman Conquest of 1066, Beningbrough was in the Bulford Hundred of the North Riding of Yorkshire. This hundred or wapentake later changed its name to "Bulmer". Beningbrough settlement contained five households and five villagers, with one-and-a-half ploughlands, three furlongs of woodland, and six acres of meadow. In 1066, Asfrith was lord, this transferred to Ralph in 1086, with Hugh fitzBaldric becoming Tenant-in-chief to King William I (William the Conqueror).

Research tips
-
- This is by far the most complete history of the parishes of the North Riding to be found online. The volumes are divided into sections by wapentake (early divisions of the county) and the parishes within each wapentake follow in alphabetical order. The links above open to the indexes covering all the wapentakes in the volume.
- GENUKI has a page on all three ridings of Yorkshire and pages for each of the ancient or ecclesiastical parishes in the county. Under each ancient parish there is a list of the settlements (townships and chapelries) within it and brief description of each. Many of these secondary settlements became civil parishes during the latter half of the 19th century.
- These notes are based on a gazetteer dated 1835 and there may have been a number of alterations to the parish setup since then. However, it is worthwhile information for the pre civil registration era. GENUKI provides references to other organizations who hold genealogical information for the local area. There is no guarantee that the website has been kept up to date and the submitter is very firm about his copyright, but this should not stop anyone from reading the material.
- The FamilyTree Wiki has a series of pages similar to those provided by GENUKI which may have been prepared at a later date. The wiki has a link to English Jurisdictions 1851 which gives the registration district and wapentake for each parish, together with statistics from the 1851 census for the area.
- A Vision of Britain through Time, Yorkshire North Riding, section "Units and Statistics" leads to analyses of population and organization of the county from about 1800 through 1974. There are pages available for all civil parishes, municipal boroughs and other administrative divisions which also include historical population and area statistics. Descriptions provided are usually based on a gazetteer of 1870-72.

- Another provider of maps is the National Library of Scotland. In this index the Scottish provision precedes the English one, but the choice of maps for England is still quite vast.
- Yorkshire has a large number of family history and genealogical societies. A list of the societies will be found on the Yorkshire, England page.
- In March 2018 Ancestry announced that its file entitled "Yorkshire, England: Church of England Parish Records, 1538-1873" has been expanded to include another 94 parishes (across the three ridings) and expected it to be expanded further during the year. The entries are taken from previously printed parish registers.
