Thomas & Frances Appleby of Embleton, Northumberland

embleton quarry for web small

Embleton Quarry  - In 1871 Thomas Appleby was the Quarry Proprietor; by 1881 his son Mark (1852-1912) had taken over; and by 1911 his grandson Mark (1884 - 1976) was in charge. This splendid photo which we believe was taken between 1905 and 1910, shows Mark Appleby junior third from the left in the back row (facing left); standing just to the right is Thomas Landreth Taylor, who worked at the quarry for 59 years; 3rd from the right in the back row with jumper and cap is George Taylor, one of Thomas Landreth Taylor's sons. If you know the identity of any other people in this photo, please get in touch. CLICK ON THE PHOTO TO ENLARGE  (photo kindly submitted by Sue Taylor)

This line originates with Thomas Appleby, who was born in Long Framlington in around 1817 - he may have been a son of John Appleby and Judith Watson.

In the 1841 census, Thomas was a miller, but he obviously liked variety, because in 1851 he was a husbandman, in 1861 he was a miner, 1871 he was a quarry proprietor and in 1881, having passed over the quarry to his son Mark, he was a cattle dealer!

Although Thomas and Frances's two eldest sons both worked in the railway, the younger ones all seemed to be involved in the whinstone quarry at some time, but Mark remained the proprietor for a number of years, before passing it on to his son, also Mark, who was still running the quarry in the 1911 census.

Walter Appleby (son of Mark Appleby junior) and his wife Ibby

We know that three of Thomas's grandsons (George, Thomas and another Mark) emigrated to Canada in 1911 and would be very interested to hear from anyone descended from them. As well as Bethany whose husband is descended from Mark Appleby junior and who kindly provided much of the information on the attached family tree, it looks as if several other branches could still have living descendants. Please get in touch via this contact form if you can provide more details of any of the branches shown.

We already have one set of yDNA results from this line in our yDNA testing programme, which matches the results from our descendant of the Applebys of Haswell line (County Durham) and there is a strong possibility that there could be a shared ancestor with members of the Acklington Applebys.

We also now know that this line shares a common ancestor with the two descendants of the line of William of Philadelphia, who emigrated from Ireland in around 1770 to the New World.
