Since
starting this site, I have been overwhelmed at the response which I have received for which I am very grateful. Several of
us have pieced together quite a bit of the jigsaw. I have even made contacts in Australia and the U.S.A. It is a wonderful
project as it has turned into a one name study, because HESLINGTON is such an unusual name.....
This site is an attempt
to record what I've learned about our family history and it is being very successful in this endeavour...
I
would welcome any further contributions and can supply quite a lot of detailed information in return about the HESLINGTON
family. I am still trying to take the Family Tree back beyond 1742, but have filled in many other details of the descendants
who lived in the 19th century and early 20th century.
Welcome to our family tree!

I was inspired to do the research into the
HESLINGTON family because it is an old and relatively rare English name. There is a village called HESLINGTON near the ancient
City of York, England
and a HESLINGTON Hall, which is now part of York University. Hammond Heslington and his
wife are buried at St Paul's Churchyard, Heslington!
My Maternal Grandmother was surnamed HESLINGTON
before her marriage.
Her Father was PARKER DUFFIELD HESLINGTON.
This work has been in progress for 9 years!
I feel there is a lot more to discover......about HESLINGTON ancestors.
My Branch of the Family
are from North Yorkshire, England.
My Great Grandfather was
baptised on 7 January 1827 at
West Tanfield, near Ripon, Yorkshire.
Others may
like to share in this fascinating project, whether or not actually descended from, or related to, the HESLINGTON family....
